" the city of Washington
n.y. astir. The senate, which
~ had met at Z o'clock the

session.; scores of persons who had
come to see the Inauguration Of the
Arst Republican president, and who
aad been unable to find other bed
than the floor, were walking the
streets; the morning trains were
bringing new crowds. Added to the
stir of those who had not slept
through the night we're sounds un-
usual In Washington-the clatter Of
cavalry, the tramp Of soldiers.
All this morning hustle of the city
must have reached the ears of the
president-elect at his rooms at Will
lard's hotel, where from an early hour
be had been at work. An amendment
to the constitution of the United
States had passed the senate in the
all night session, and as 1t concerned
the subject of his inaugural, he must
incorporate a reference to it in the ad-
dress. Then he had not replied to the
note he had receivd two days before
from Mr.. Seward, asking to be releas-
ed from his promise to accept the
portfolio of state. He could wait no
