members OF their families. and every Senator
has had about four bundled applications for
tickels from residents nf his State and in pIo-
portion 10 the number of their constituents
| the Representative are equally besieged.--
There will not be much in the Senate cham
Der to see, only the Vice President takes the
| oath there; but only persons having tickets
| to the Senate chamber will he permitted tn en-
| ter the Capitol. The Capital windows will
| give superb view Of the Inauguration of the
President, which will occur outdoors OH a
| temporary platform a, the east front. Except
those in the front rows the privileged people
WHO get on to the Inauguration platform will
not see much. The platform is large ana per-
fec,ly level, aud as all the people will stand

On the pavement in front of the platform.
| fifteen or twenty thousand people will pack
| together and see more or less of Chief Justice

and the great ball. In the number of per-
sons marching the pr ocession will exceed any
thing that has been in Washington since the

varied beauty, and. while the bail will he Civ
