General Sianairer Win. II. Strong, of the AtehisoiiVTiipeka & Santa Fe, makes the following point in a communication to the legislature of Kansas on the sub ject ol regulating railway rates. lie snys that Inasmuch as the law allows 13 per cent, intereat to be charged for the use of money in this state, it cannot well re fuse to permit railway companies to make a net profit of 12 per cent. Tho loans on which 12 per cent, is allowed iTo absolutely se-cured by mortgages on real estate, while railway investments have no such security. Ho elab orates this argument and then states that until within the lost three years no rail road in Kansas has ever been able to pay the Interest on its bonded debt, and never until 1879 did any Kansas railroad pay a dividend, and then only two out of tbe thirty-five in operation were ablo to do so. Whom the gods would destroy, thry first make mad., The force of this time- honored maxim is about to lie verified by the anti-prohibitionlsl of Topcka, who have expressed their purpose to have arrested for violation of the amend ment, all clergymen who use wine in ad ministering the sacrament of the Lord's supper at their churches in that city next SabbnlU. Tbe extreme fatuity of the antagonists of the amendment can go to no greater length than this step contemplates, and should their blind rage be equal to the perpetration of such nn outrago, they will be brought to feel, for the first time, the full force of a public sentiment ot whose potency they have already been gently admonished. Scores and hundreds of Kansas citi zens, who, while endorsing in an ab stract way the employment of those agencies which tend to elevate the moral standard of the community, ara not lndentlfied with the church and have not manifested an active sympathy in the cause of temperauce, would speed liy assumu ueciuea positions on incsa eiucsiious uuaer me sspur of the quickening impu'.so which the whiskey advocates promise to fur nish, and outaldt) of tho most depraved classes of society, there arc few men who would not promptly and summarily rc. sent such an atrocity as this contcm plated movement against the chris tian cnurcu, me great eouscrvator of the religion interest, of ine country, No faulty technicalities of the amend ment or tbe law supplementary thereto could justify such a blasphemous pro- KSTABLTSHED IN 1857. ceeOing. The entire fabric of temper nnce legislation rests upon the sovereign will of tho people of Kansas and the courts, in passing upon this ques tion, will exercise its prerogative of forming constructions according to tbe spirit of the law, whatever may be the insufficiency of its letter. The insanity of uuy class of men who cherish the de lusion that they can override and sub ordinate public opinion which is found ed npon just principles,! may lead them to defy every law of propriety and rule of common dect-Dcy, but such action is always suicidal and only reacts npon the misguided victim of such iu temper atj fanaticism.' A REPRESENTATIVE PRESIDENT- . From th I'ailjr of itw 4tb. ' ; Today Jam A. Garflehl, the eight eenth pn-bldent of the United States, was inaugurated at tho national capital, and ai-.u ued the duties of the roost exalted trust In the gift of the American or Bay other people. The genius of our Repub lican Institutions cau boast of no proud er vindieation tbau the elevation to this high otl'.ce,' of a man taken from tbe ranks of the people, and whose splendid success in life has been predicated npon his own exertions, aided by those helps which are vouchsafed to her sons by a government which recognizes all men as equul before the law, and makes no political or civil distinctions between its proudest potentate, and most bumble citizen.. . . . , The history of the new president-elect is fraught with an Interest dear to every American heart, and with results calcu lated not only to kindle hope in tbe breasts of the down-trodden of other land?, but to cause to tremble in the fancied se curity of their strongboMs, the arbiters of political destinies which' discriminate aguiubt the common people.'the vital con stituency ofs'J governments, aud subordi nate tl.o dearest Interests of humanity to the icrpetuatiou of invidious systems of caste, founded upon error, aud reared nnon a corner stone hewn by the hand of despotism. The career of the man, who, heghiiiing life, as a canal boat driv er, has made his sure way upward, throiigii ail the gradations of honor, till he has surmounted the very pinnacle of earthly-glory, indicates that tho world is moving on toward ': new. centers of light, and nations that are sitting In darkness shrill come unto the brightness of its rising.- beforo another generation of freemeu shall have left the impress of their strivings upon the civilization of the world.

Genera) Gar field realizes, in tin- fullest measure, the highest aims of our f-ysteiu of gov ernment, and the beat purposes of tbe parly which elevated him to power. That the pride and hope, gf the nation have been worthily bestoweel, we have every reason to believe, tteginning with his term of ser vice in tho legislature of his own grand stale, and following him through all the surcessive steps of bis political promotion, covering a period of twelve years of distinguished service in the congn si of the United States, and culminating in a fruition of honors such as few men have ever enjoyed, he has never fallen short of the standard of the highest expectation, or proved re creant to nny trust committed to him by a confiding people. Oa all the great pol itical issues willi the discussion of which he' has bt n so promiaenlly identtfieel.and n whoe settlement Uj baa proved such potent faeti.r, be has ever kept pace with the most enlightened opinions of the times, and has always been found in the liue of his party's best thought and purest purposes. His admirable bear- ng sine-e bis election to the ofiice of president of the United States, has been of a character "that has tend- ! to strengthen his large claims upon tiie respect una confidence of tbe people, and in taking tho chair ot the chief executive today, be may safely lay to his heart the helpful assurance that the fifty mil- ions of people, whose destinies he shall asriUt in ordering for the next four years, are fal.'v imbued with tho most unwav ering faith in his capabilities for suc cessfully meeting auy and every emerg ency which the gravity of his responsi bilities may impose. The people of Texas are to vote upon a proposed amendment to the constitu tion, forbidding the carrying of con cealed weapons. We presume the ex pediency of such legislation has been suggested hy the widely recognized fact hat when a citizen of the Lone Star state wants to uso anything iu the way of body. arms, it is a reckle'ss waste of time to reach to his boot-leg or hip-pock-et for thorn. A bill has been introduced in the Ohio senate to create the office of "State Inspector of FKds," who shall hold bis position for two years, and whose bus! ness it shall be to inspect all kinds of manufactures for huinsn consumption. and hunt out and prosecute all persons adulterating articles intended for ali mentary purposes. This measure has the two-fold merit of providing an of fice for another Buckeye, while it con templates a correction of the abuses of landladies who season their hash with lisir. nnd substitute rubber shoes for le-af steak.

New York Tribune: Colonel Forney announces the deliverance of a fresh batch of "articulate inspiration" in the form of a novel. Whether or not it is a humorous work we are not informed.

The appearance at this writing is that most of the most important bills will be passed sometime to-day ,but that a final adjournment cannot be had tut some time to-morrow. In the old senate chamber some twenty ladies were en rolling bills and were booked for an all night 's job. TorKKA, March 5. Senate.

Washington, D. C, March 4. It rain ed and snowed at intervals last night, and at 9 a. in. was snowing rapidly, but at this hour, 10 o'clock, the clouds are working away and the sun shining. All Washington was out at an early hour, notwithstanding the storm, and men, women and children hurrying through the snow and slush from every direction all intent on reaching Penn sylvania avenue to witness the inaugural procession, or to the capitol to be pres ent at tbe ceremonies, to take place there. During the entire night, trains iadcu with military and civilians arriv ed, and continued throughout the morn ing - to pour in their living freight. Stands are erected at various points near the capitol seating twenty-five thous and people and every seat haa been sold. It is estimated that fifty thousand strangers are in Washington. At 10:30 a, m. the aun commenced to shine quite brightly, with a chilly March wind blowing from the northwest. At this hour the greater portion of the pop ulation of Washington and Georgetown were out along the line of march, and with the number of strangers that are here there are over ono hundred thou sand persons assembled to witneas the procession. The sidewalks on Pennsyl vania avenue, along the route, are liter ally packed, and the windowa ot tho buildings, as well as the stands, were crowded with spectators. The various divisions marched along the avenue ac cording to the programme, and at half past eleven o'clock tbe head of the pro cession passed around the south wing and reached the eastern front of the cap itol. The presidential carriage was driven to the lower entrance of the sen ate wing, and the president elect, accom panied by the vice-president and sena tors Pendleton and Thurman, entered tbe building and proceeded to the vice president's room, where they remained till 12 o'clock. As early as 10 o'clock crowds began to assemble in front ot the platform erected over the steps leading to the main en trance, and at 12 o'clock It was estimated that 50,000 were massed in front of the building. Holders of cards of admission thronged tho approaches to the Senate long before the doors opened, and a lew minutes after 11 o'clock the senate galleries were filled to their ut most capacity. They presented a very gay appearance, much the larger propor tion of their occupants bdng ladies, who graced the occasion with holiday attire. Mrs. Garfield, wife of the president elect, and his venerable mother, occu pied front seats in the private gallery, and Mrs. Hayes sat between them. Misses Mollie Garfield and Fannie Hayes and a few personal friends were also of the party. The floor of the Senate began to fill up quite early with distinguished invited cuests. including a number of armv offi cers of high rank. The routine business of the senate proceeded till about 11:30, when the di plomatic corps appeared at the main entrance, and attracted universal notice, as they filed down the center of the aisle in their gorgeous court costumes, re splendent with cold and silver embroid ery, and glittering with diamonds. Sir iialward mornton neaaea tne corps as its Dean. The French, Italian and German miuisters followed. Then came the Turkish minister, wearing his red fez, and still more conspicuously attired, the foil Chinese legation next appeared and afforded a fresh topic for buzz and comment in the galleries, alike by their grave demeanor and tneir red button mandarin hats and peacock's feathers. A minute afterwards tne Supreme Court of tbe United States was an nounced, and the Chief Justices, headed by Chief Justice Waite, and clad in their robes of office, entered the cham ber, marching slowly down the center aisle, and took seats prepared Tor them in front of and facing the rostrum. Ex Justices Swayne and Strong also enter. ed witn tneir former associates. ENTRANCE OF OARFIELD. Shortly before twelve o'clock General Garfield and President Hayes entered tho chamber arm in arm, escorted by Senators Pendleton, Anthony and Bay ard, the committee of arrangements, and followed by all the members of the cabi net. As they proceeded down the aisle to the seats reserved for them, the sena tors and all other occupants of the floor arose and remained standing until they had taken their seats. The galleries ap plauded by clapping hands and waving handkerchiefs. The vice president elect was next announced. He was escorted by scrgeant-at-arms Senator Pendleton to a seat on the right of Vice President Wheeler who had arrived. Vice Presi dent Wheeler delivered a valedietory and the Forty-sixth congress was de clared at an end. and the newly inducted vice president administered the oath of office to tbe senators-elect. This work of organization being com- nlntcv it svus) anttmtnniMi tltair tKsa sanest AS) VT SWUUMUVVU SUB WU BVUBItVi supreme court and invited guests would proceed to tne east portico or tne capi tol to participate in the ceremonies of tho inauguration of the president-elect A PROCESSION Was accordingly formed, and all the late occupants of the floor of the senate proceeded through the corridors and rotunda to the place indicated, in tne following order: Tne marshall of the United States supreme court, and the marshal of the diatrict of Columbia supreme court, the committee of arrangments, the sergcant-at-arms of tne senate, tne president ana president elect, lien Arthur and Air. Wheeler, members or tne senate, the diplomatic corps, heads or departments, members of the house or representatives, members elect, governors and ex-governora of states, officers of the senate and of the house. And as the procession filed out throueh the main corridor to the rotun da, the crowds pouring down from the caiiertes soon caused a blockade, ana finally breaking in upon the procession. merged with it, pas sea on to the rotunda, making a confused mass of sen ators, representatives, diplomatists and citizens, without much regard to prece dence. On reaching the main entrance leading from the rotunda to the platform. tne pressure was reuevea, ana the presi. dentist party was enabled to reach the front. Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Hayes.Gen. Gar field's mother and other ladies of the party were caught in a crowd and experienced considerable difficulty in reaching the platform. At 13 :30 the president reach ed his place at the front of the platform and took a seat with Chief Justice Waite and ex-Prestdent Hayes npon his right, and upon bts left were senators Pendleton. Anthonv and Bavard. while immediately behind sat his mother, Mrs. Garfield. Airs Haves and Vice President Arthur. At 12:35 Senator Pendleton arose'and introduced Gen. Garfield, who began hia rXACOCRAX ADDRESS Fiixow CmzEXS: We stand to-day upon the eminence which overlooks a hundred years of national life a cen tury crowded with perils, but crowned with triumphs of liberty and of love; and before continuing the onward march let ns pause on this height for a moment to strengthen our taitn ana renew our hope by a glance at the pathway along which our people have traveled. It is now three days more than a hundred years since the adoption of the first written constitution of the United States. The new republic was then beset with danger on every hand ; it had not con quered a place in the family of nations: tbe decisive battle of war for independ ence, whose centennial anniversary will soon be gratefully celebrated at York town, bad not yet been fought: the col. onisla were struggling not only against the arms of Great Britain, bnt against the settled opinion of mankind, for the world did not believe that the supreme authority of the government could be safely entrusted to the guardianship of the people themselves. We cannot over estimate the rervent love, the intelligent courage, strong common sense, with which our fathers made tbe great expe riment oi sen government. . vrnen they were too weak ts meet the aeeasaitUa of a glertons aa expanding tepabllk, they EMPORIA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, boldly set it aside and in iu stead estab lishea a National Union, founded direct ly npon the will of the people, and en dowed with the future powers ot self- preservation and with ample authority for the accomplishment of its great ob jects. Under this constitution TH BOUirAKIES OF FREEDOM WEKR ENLARGED. the foundations of order and peace have been strengthened and brought in all the better elements of national life; it has vindicated the wisdom of the founders and given a new hope to their descend ants. Under this constitution our peo ple long ago made themselves safe against danger from without, and cured for their mariners and flag equali ty or rights on all the seas; under this constitution thirty-eight state houses have been added to the Union, with con stitutions and laws framed aud enforced by their own citizens to secure the mani fold blessings of local and self govern ment; the jurisdiction of this constitu tion now covers an area nny times greater than that of tbe original thirteen states, and a population twenty times greater than that of 1780. The trial of the constitution came at last, and nnder the tremendous pressure of a civil war, we, ourselves, are witnesses that the JJnion emerged from the blood and fire, and that conflict purified and made it stronger for all beneficent purposes and good government. And now at the close of this first century of growth, with the inspiration of all its history in their hearts, our people have lately reviewed the eonditiouof the nation and passed judgment upon the conduct and opinions of political parties, and have registered their will concerning the future administration of the govern ment. To interpret and to execute that will in accordance with the constitution is the paramount duty of the executive. Even from this brief review it is mani fest that the nation is resolutely facing to the front with a resolution to employ its best energies in developing the great possibilities of the future, sacredly pre serving whatever has been gained to lib erty and the government during tbe cen tury. Our people are determined to leave behind them all those bitter con troversies concerning things which have been irrevocably settled, further discus sion of which can only stir up strife and delay tbe onward march. THE SUPREMACY OF THE NATION and its laws should be no longer subjects of debate. That discussion which for half a century threatened the existence of the H ation, was closed at last in the high court of war, by a decree from which there is no appeal, that the Con stitution and laws made in pursuance thereof shall continue to be the supreme law of the land, binding alike upon the states and upon the people. This decree does not disturb the autonomy ' of the states, nor interfere with any of their necessary rules of local self-government, but it does fix and establish the perma nent supremacy of the Union. The will of the nation, speaking with the voice of battle and through the amended consti tution, has fulfilled the great promise of 1776, by proclaiming "Liberty through out the land, and to all tbe inhabitants thereof." The elevation of the negro race from slavery to the full rights of citizenship, is the most important political change we have known Mnce the adoption or the con stitution of 1776. No thought ful man can fail to appreciate its benefi cial effect upon our people. It has freed us from perpetual danger of war and dissolution. It has added immensely to tbe moral and industrial forces of our people. It has liberated the master, as well as tho slave, from a relation which has wronged and enfeebled both, and it has surrendered to their own guardian ship the manhood of more thau five mil lion people, and has opened to each one of them a career of freedom and useful ness. It has given new inspiration to the power of self-help in both races, by making labor more honorable to one and more necessary to the other. The influ ence of this force will -be greater and bear richer fruit with coming Years. No doubt the great change has caused seri ous disturbance to our southern com munity. This is to be deplored, though it was unavoidable: but those who re. sisted the change -should consider that in our institutions THREE WAS SO MIDDLE GROUND for the negro race between slavery and equal citizenship. There can be no per manent disfranchised peasantry in the United Slates. Freedom can never yield its fullness of blessings as longas law or its administration places the smallest obstacle in the way of any virtuous cit izen, l he emancipated race has already made remarkable progress with unoues- tionable devotion to the Union with a patience and gentleness not born of fear. They have followed the light as God gave them to see the light. They are rapidly laying material for the founda tions of self-support, widening the cir cle of intelligence, and beginning to en joy the blessings that gather around the homes of industrious poor. They de serve the generous encouragement of all gooa men. o tar as my authority can lawfully extend, they shall enjoy the full and equal protection of the consti tution and laws. THE ENJOYMENT OF EQUAL. SUFFRAGE is still a question, and a frank statement, if issued, may aid its solution. It is al leged that in many communities the ne gro citizens are practically denied the freedom of the ballot In so far aa the truth of this allegation is admitted, it is answered that in many places honest local government is impossible if the mass of uneducated negroes are allowed to vote. These are grave allegations. So far as the latter ia true, it ia no pallia tion that can be offered for opposing the freedom of the ballot. Bad local gov ernment is certainly a great evil, which ought to be prevented ; but to violate the freedom and sanctity of suffrage is more than an evil it is a crime which, if per sisted in, will destroy the government itself, and suicide ia not a remedy. As in other lands it would bo high treason to compass the death of a king, it should be counted no leas a crime here to STRANOLR OUR SOVEREIGN POWER AND STIFLE ITS VOICK. It has been said that unsettled Questions have no pity for the repose of nations. it should also be. said, and with tbe ut most emphasis, that this question of suf frage will never give repose or safety to the states or to the nation until each, within its own jurisdiction, makes and keeps the ballot free and pure by strong sanction of law. That danger arises from the ignorance of voters cannot be denied. It covers a field far wider than that of negro suffrage and the present condition of that race. It is a danger that lurks and hides in the sources and fountains of power in every state. We have no power by which to measure the disaster that may be brought upon us by ignorance and vice io citizens when joined to corruption and fraud in suf frage. The voters or the Union, who make and unmake constitutions, and upon whose will hangs the destiny of our government, can transmit their supreme authority to no successor save the coming generations of vot ers, who are sole heirs of the sov ereign powers. If that generation comes to its inheritance otinaea Dy ignorance and corruption, and by vice, the fall of the Republic will be certain and remedi less. The census has already sounded the alarm in appalling figures, which mark how dangerously high the tide of illiteracy haa arisen among our voters and their children. To the south the auestion is ot supreme importance ; but le responsibility of the existence of that supreme importance is but a re sponsibility. If the existence of slav ery doea not rest npon the south alone. the nation liseu is responsible lor tbe extension of suffrage, and is under special obligations to aid in relieving the Illiteracy which it has added to the the voting population. For the north and south alike there is but one remedy. All tbe constitutional power of the na tion, of states, and all the volunteer for ces of the people should be summoned to meet this danger by tbe SAYTKO rNFLCKHCX OF UKTVERSAI. EDO- CATION. It is the high privilege and sacred duty of those now living to educate their sons and daughters and fit them by intelligence and virtue for the inheritance which awaits them. In this benificent work section and races should be forgotten ana partisanship snouia De unknown. Let oar people find a new meaning in the oracle which declares that "a little child shall lead them," for our little children will soon control the destinies of the republic- My countrymen, we ao not now ainer .tn our judgment con cerning the controversies of past gen erations and fifty years hence our children will not be divided in their opinions concerning our controversies. They will sorely bless their fathers and their fathers' uod, that the Union was preserved, that slavery was overthrown and that both races were made equal be fore the . law. We may hasten, or retard, bat we cannot prevent final recon ciliation.

Let all our people, leaving behind them' the battle-nelas or dead issues, move for ward, and in the strength of liberty and tne restorea union, win tne GRAND EST VICTORIES OF PRACR. Tho prosperity which now prevails is without parellel in our history. Fruit ful seasons have done much to secure it, but they have not done all the perserva tion of the public credit and the resump tion of specie payments so success fully obtained by tbe - administra tion ot my predecessors that has enabled our people to se cure a blessing, which success has brought by experience of the commer cial nations. In all ages it has been found that gold and silver afforded only a cheap foundation for the monetary system. Confusion has recently been created, by variations, in relation to the value of the two metals, but confidently. I believe that arrangments can be made between the leading commercials nations which will secure the general useof both metals. Congress should provide that the compulsory coinage of silver, now required by law, may not disturb our monetary system by driving either metal out of circulation. If possible such an adjustment should be made that the purchasing power of every coined dollar will be exactly equal to its debt paying power in all the markets of the world. - THE CHIEF DCTT OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT in connection with the currency of the country is to coin and declare its value: Gravy -doubts have been entertained whether congress is authorized by the constitution to make any form of money legal lender. The present issue of Unit ed States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for iu value and currency upon iu convenience in use and the prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon iu compulsory circulation. These notes are not money. but promises to pay money. It the holders demand it the promises should be kept. Tbe refunding of the national debt at a lower rate of interest should not be accomplished with compelling the withdrawal of national bank notes, and thus disturbing the business of the country. I venture tj refer to the position I have occupied on the financial question during a long service in congress, snd to say that time and experience have strengthened the opinions I have so oft en expressed on this subject. The finances of the government shall suffer no detriment which it may be possible for my administration to prevent. THE INTERESTS OF AORICCLTCKK deserve more attention from the govern ment than they have yet received. The farms of the United States afford homes and employment to more than one-half of our people, and furnish much the largest part of all our exports. As the government iignu our coasts tor the pro tection of mariners and the benefit of commerce, so it should give to the tillers of the soil the lighu pf practical service and experience. Our manufacturers are rapidly making us industrially inde pendent, ana arc opening to camtal aud labor new and profitable fields of em ployment. This steady and healthy growth should still be maintained. Our facilities for transportation should tie promoted by the continued improvement i of our harbors aud the great interior water-ways, and by tho increase of our j tonnage on -the ocean j THE DRVKIiOPMENT OF THU WORLD'S COMMKRCK has led to an urgent demand for shorten ing tho great sea voyage around Cape liorn, by constructing ship canals or railways across the Isthmus which unites the two continents. Various plans to this end have been suggested and will need consideration, but none of them have been sufficiently matured to war rant the United States in extending pecuniary aid. The subject is one which will immediately engage the at tention of the government of the United States, with a viewto the protection of American interests. We will urge no narrow policy nor seek peculiar or ex clusive privileges in any commercial route, but in the language of my prede cessor, 1 believe it to be the "right and doty of the United States to assert and maintain such supervision and authority over any inter oceanic canal across the isthmus that connects .North and South America, as will protect our national in terests." TOUCHING MORMONISM. The constitution guarantees absolute religious freedom. Congress is pro hibited from making any laws respect ing the establishment ot religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The territories of the United States are subject to the direct legislative authori ty or congress, and hence the general government is reponsiblc for any viola tion oi tne constitution in any or them. It is therefore a reproach to tne govern ment that in the most populous territo ries the constitutional guarantee is not enjoyed by the people, and the authority oi congress is set at naught. 1 he Mor mon church not only offends the moral sense of mankind by sanctioning polyg amy, but prevents the administration of justice. In my judgment, it is the duty ot congress, while respecting to the ut termost the conscientious convictions and religious scruples of every citizen, io prom ou witnin lis jurisdiction an criminal practices, especially that class which destroy family relations, and en dangers social order, nor can any ec clesiastical organization be safely per. mined to use in the smallest degree the functions and powers of national gov ernment. THE CIVIL SERVICR can never be placed on a satisfactory ba sis until it is regulated by law for the good of the service itself and for the protection ot those who are entrusted with the appointing power against the waste of time and obstruction of public business caused by the inordinate presr sure for place, and for protection of the incumbent against intrigue and wrong. I shall at the proper time ask congress to fix the tenure of minor offices of sev eral executive departments, and prescribe the grounds upon which the awards shall be made during the terms for which incumbents have been appointed finally, acting always within the author ity and limitations of the constitution, avioding neither the rights of the states nor the reserved rights of the people. it will bo the purpose oi my adminis tration to maintain authority in all places within its jurisdiction; to en force obedience to all laws of the Union in the interest of the people ; tt demand rigid economy in all expenditures of the government ; and to require honest and faithful services of all the executive of fleers, remembering that the offices were created not for the benefit of incumbents or their superiors, but for the services or the government. And now .ellow citizens, as I am about to assume a great trust, which yon have committed to my hands, I appeal to you for that earnest and thoughtful support which makes this government, in fact, as it is in the law, a - GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE. I shall rely upon the wisdom and patri otism ot congress and or those who may share with me the responsibilities and duties or the administration, and upon our efforts to promote the welfare of this great people and their government. 1 reverently invoke the support and bless ings of the Almighty God. The address was delivered with uncov ered head, in a voice clear, distinct and calm, and was plainly beard by every one upon the stand and tor a long dis tance on every hand. The delivery of the address occupied 45 minutes, and at iu conclusion the cheering was long con- tinuea ana enthusiastic Chief Justice Waite then administered the usual oath, to which General Gar field responded with reverential fervor. Ex-President Hayes immediately pressed rorwara ana congratuiatea his successor, and after him the President's mother and wife, both of whom he saluted with a kiss. A general scene of congratulations and hand-shaking ensued, after which the presidential party descended rrom the platform and proceeded to the president's room in the rear ot the senate chamber, where a format reception iook place. At 1 u50 the party entered their car riages and were driven to their places in the procession, which at 1 :40 started up on its return to the White House. Tbe most extensive mining operation of its kind erer known in tbe history of Cliformi has been inaagnrmted by eastern capitalists of Chicago, New York and Boston, at Big Bend, on tbe north fork of the feather river, ten miles abort Oroville. . A, million dollars, it ia said, haa been pledged to tbe undertak ing, and $50,000 paid in to start the work. The scheme contemplates the working oot of thirteen miles of the Feather river, not by tbe old process of flaming, bat by a tunnel of sufficient ca pacity to drain tbe river bad so that it can be worked in a manner familiar to tbe early Miners on the American river, where ao raaav fortunes were made in flash tlmea. feaa Fra&aisae Chro&lela, 1881. THE NEWS. REDUCED TO RUINS. Tbe Minnesota State House, with Most of Its Contents, Destroyed by Fire. Cunsressloual Hnmmary. " Washington, March 2. StNATK-The credentials of Senator Maxey, re-elected, were presented and filed. ' The senate took up the civil appro priation bill. In committee of the whole the bill was read and tbe amendmenu of the sen ate committee acted upon as they were reached. Pending consideration of the bill the deficiency appropriation bill was re ceived from the house and referred. The sundry civil bill was then Dre- ceeded with IIocse Mr. MacMahon reported back the" deficiency appropriation bill, and moved to suspend the rules and put it upon its passage. Mr. Biscock, member of the commit tee on appropriations, criticized the bill, which was chiefly remarkable in that which was deficient. Mr. Cameron said he had hoped the Democratic party would have settled its debU before it went out of power. At 1 o'clock Mr. McMahon's motion was agreed to. The rules were suspend ed and the deficiency appropriation bill, the last of the appropriation bills, was passed. Consideration of the funding bill was immediately resumed, tbe ques tion being an ordering of the previous question. On a motion to concur in senate amendment No. 10, a large ma jority oi the Republicans refrained from voting, but enough cast their votes to make a quorum, and the main question waa ordered yeas 13-L nays 25. The question then recurred on concurring in the amendment, and on diyision the lie publicans refrained from voting and left the house without a quorum. After further delay the sixteenth senate amend ment was concurred in yeas 140, nays 16. The next question was on the twen ty fifth senate amendment, which is to insert the word "temporarily" in the fourth section, which authorizes the secretary of the the treasury to uso $50,000,000 in coin for the redemption of 5 and 6 per cent, bonds. The committee on ways and means recommends the concurrence with an ' amendment to substitute tor the word temporarily, the words "from time to time," also, to insert the words "to any one time," so as to make the section read, "the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to use from time to time not exceeding $55,000,000 at any one time of standard gold and silver coin in the treasury in the redemption, etc." The ways and means amend ment was rejected yeas 88, nays 126. Senate amendment No. 15 was then con curred in. Mr. Conger's amendment to the fifth section was defeated yeas 117, nays 132, All tho senate amendments to the funding bill were then agreed to with out change and the bill passed. Mr. Carlisle moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill amending the funding bill just passed so as to make it conform to the amendments recommend ed by tbe committee of ways and means. Among the amendments is one provid ing that nothing in this act shall be con strued so as to repeat, modify or effect section 522021232324, revised statutes. Mr. Kernan said Mr. Kinley's amend ed bill also contained all the amend menu proposed by the committ of ways and means. Mr. Carlisle explained that the amend ments proposed were merely those which the Republican side had voted for. " A demand lor tbe suspension or the rules were seconded yeas 142, nays 11, and after some debate the rules were suspended and the bill passed, no divi sion being taken. The speaker laid before the house the enrolled funding bill and it was signed by him, and n now goes to the pres ident for his action. Adjourned. A Disastrous Fire Th Minnesota State Honse Horned. v St. Paul. Minn.. March 1. Memliers of the legislature were "fired out" literal ly to-night in a summary manner. At a o'clock, while both houses were in ses sion, fire was discovered in the dome of the capitol. An alarm was immediately given. In the senate and assembly chambers, a blinding cloud of smoke im mediately followed, the opening ot the doors. Many of the members rushed for the windows, but the height was too much, and they turned and got out through the cloak room, just iu time. The flames first made their appearance in the dome, spread rapidly, the old and dry wood-work catching like tinder. Within an hour tne entire rooi uaa iau- en in and the second story floors were rapidly burning. Some plucky clerks and members saved the papers of the senate and assembly in their flight. The state offices, being on the lower floor, were more fortunate, time being given to remove the contenU, except what was in the vaults. Tbe entire records or the supreme court were saved, and are in safe quarters, but THE EXTENSIVE AND VAL6ABLE IXBRART is lost. The contenls of the rooms of the state historical society were partially removed, but their loss will be heavy in valuable books and relics. In tbe vault of the state treasurer are over $2,000,000 in bonds belonging to the trust funds of the state, which it is beleived will be saved in good shape, as attention was turned to sheltering the vault as much possible from the intense heat by a liberal supply of water. There are va rious rumors afloat, and some comments on the fact that the fire occurred immed iately after the adoption of the bill to pay tbe repudiated slate bonds. The settled opinion is that the fire was the work of an incendiary, as there were no gas pipes or steam coil in tbe dome. wnere tne nre sianeu, ana u.e rapiuuy with which the flames appeared in dif ferent paru of the roof seem to substan tiate this theory. THE CAPITOL WAS BUILT IN 1863, but since then two' additions have been erected, forming a Maltese cross shaped two story brick building, with Mansard roof and dome in the center. One build ing is estimated to have been worth $100,000, and was uninsured. The walls remain standing. The new market hall is being fitted up for use for the legisla ture. The Kalloeh Case San Francisco, Cal., March 1. In the trial of young Kalloeh for the mur der of Chaa. De Young, the defense open ed to-day. Great interest waa manifest ed, for while the prosecution followed in the course of all previous knowledge of the tragedy, the line, or defense has been a fruitful subject of speculation. High ton, counsel for defense, in his opening announced his defense ta be first on technical grounds, the prisoner having been once before placed in jeopardy ana discharged, according to tbe court rec ords ; second, self-defense ; third, transi tory mania. The counsel expects to prove that from what bad before happen ed and the known character of De Young that the prisoner was in reasonable fear of his life; that on tbe day of j the tragedy the prisoner naa naa an interview with a friend ol Do Young and had made an appointment to meet deceased, with a view of making ar rangemenU to stop the publication of pamphlets reflecting on the prisoner's father, on condition, that in the event of his suppression tbe elder Kalloeh would not prosecute De Young for the attempt on his life; that soon after the prisoner had become aware that the pamphlets were being circulated he went to the Chronicle office in an agitated state of mind, observing a threatening expres sion oa De Young's face and a motion to draw a pistol as be entered, and that drawing his pistol, both fired simultane ously. He proposed to vindicate the tes timony of Clement Shaw, who was sent to the penitentiary for perjury in swear ing at the preliminary examination that De Young fired the first shoe At the con clusion of tbe opening address a num ber of witnesses were examined as to the good character of tho prisoner pre vious to tbe tragedy. The court room was crowed and great interest was mani fested. : The Twin Lakes Placer minio? com pany, in which United Stales Senator Plumb, of Kansas, and General Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, are largely interested, are now repairing flames, ditches, etc., on their extensive property, preparatory to commencing taking oat gold so soon as the weather and frost will permit. Nebraska decided not to try prohibi tion, bat the legislature enarAed instead a license law, placing the cost of licenses at from $500 to $1,000, and making it a violation of law to stand treat, even on a new boy, the penal ty for any such vil li any being $100. The vendor oi liquid lightning is also required to give bond 4n the stun of $5,000 to indemnify any on injured by his traffie. HARDWARE. J. M.
