THE FIRST WEoN esoAY IN MARCH
How tho "4rh" of This Month Came to
BE InauguratiOn-Day.
[From Our Regular Correspondent

(From Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHrSGTos, March 4-There has been
an impression IN the minds OF most people
that the 4th day OF March was selected as
the time Tor tho Inauguration Of our Presi-
dents because it falls on Sunday only once
in a great many years. Repeatedly this
statement has been made in newspapers,
but IL seems to be erroneous.
The DISPATCH correspondent consulted
Mr.. Spofford, the noted librarian of the
Congressional Library, on the subject to-
day. and If there is any one IN the United
States thoroughly posted on such matters
il is he.
Mir. Spofford very kindly volunteered to
cite authorities from which IL was learped
that the Attn Of March as Inauguration-Day
is not provided for in any law, as being
different from any other day on which an
Inauguration could fall. In 1888 the Con-
gress OF that day-the Constitution having
already been adopted-passed law to put
IN operation tho new government That
law fixed three different prospective dates
and when certain political acts were to DO
performed.
THE THREE DATES.
The first was IN relation to choosing
electors in all the States. The first We'd
nesday in March. 1889. was tho time for
putting in operation the new government.
The second act fixed the first Wednes-
day in February az the time for the eiec--
tors TO cast the votes for PRESIDENT and
Vce-P President.
The third fixed the first Wednesday in
March for commencing proceedings under
the Constitution, and that day happened
10 fall on the 4th of March. On the same
day the President was inaugurated, and
the day has never been changed. 1t often
falls on Sunday. and four or five inaugu-
rails have been on SUNDAY. President
Hayes was sworn IN on Sunday. March 4,
isT7. and the next Gay (Monday) ho was
formally yinaugurated with oil the attending
ceremonies.

CLASSICAL SCHOLAR.
Judge Gresham is very studious man,
and has o fine library in his Chicago home.
He has a taste for the classics, but gen.
eral literature is bis main delight as re-
creation. His college life having been
short--one year at the Bloomington (lnd.)
Univeraty--he could not have made much
progress in classical lore. but he took ad-
vantage of the opportunities gwen him
and did the best he could. He possesses
thorough and minute knowledge OF the his
tory OF the country and the government,
the measures of the various ndministra-
tions, the great debates. and the men VINO
shaped and influenced the Legislation OF
their day. many OF whom are now forgot
ten. He has made a study Of the relations
of this country TO foreign naIions-astudy
which will be of peculiar benefit to him IN
his new field-the nature of the treaties In
force. and the governments diplomatic
history. He has also been careful and q
thorough student OF the decisions of Chief
Justice Marshall.
