well calculated to earn the confidence of

dress no attempt nt eloquence, nor of that
striving after ellcet which Is the b ine of
t most of our public utterances. We are
much mistaken if the peech does not
strike a great majority ot our people as a
plain, manly statement ol the purposes ol
a uiodest public oftlcer. who has a deep

CtiiCAOo, March 8. The Chicago Trib
une says the refusal of the Senate to
promptly confirm the Cabinet appoint
ments of Hayes, was a departure Irom
the traditional usage; and that it is ac
counted for on the supposition that several
of the Senators took this method of mani
lestlng the resentment ot Hayes' disregard
of their respective claims and wishes in
tlie selection ol bis Cabinet, und the de
termination to form bis own administra
tion. It is not believed this manllcstatiou
of spite will defeat the continuation ot tlie
Cabinet selections, but If such should be
tlie temper of the Senate, Hayes would
Htill be able to have his chosen advisers, in
Bpitoo! the opposition of tho Senate, bv
simply giving notice that be has no fur
ther business with that body, and thus
putting au end to the extra session.

The following Is President Hayes' In
augural address:
Fkm.ow Citizkns: We have assem
bled to repeat tlie public ceremonies, begun
by Washington and ooserved by ' all ny
predecessors, and now a tlme-houored cus
tom, which marks the commencement of a
new term ol the Presidential olllce. (Jail
ed to tlie dul ies of this great trust, I pro
ceed in compliance with this u-age to an
nounce soino of the leading principles on
the subjects that now chielly engage tlie
public attention, by which it is my desire
to be guided in tho discharge ol the-e du
ties. I shall not undertake to lay down
irrevocably the principles or measures of
the administration, but rattier to speak ot
the motives which should animate us. and
to suggest certain important onus to be at
tained in accordance with our institutions,
and essential to tlie welfare ol ourcniv'-v
At tlie outset of the discussions vniiuu
preceded the recent Presidential election.
it seemi'd t be fitting that I f-hould fully
make known my sentiments in regard to
several of the important questions which
t ben appeared to demand the considera
tion of the country. Following the ex
ample and, in part, adopting the latigingo
ot one of my predecessors, I wish n"vv.
when every motive lor misrepresentation
lias passed away, to repeat wliat was said
before election, trusting that my country
men will candidly weigh and understand
it; that they will teel assured that the sen
timents declared In accepting the nomina
tion tor the Presidency will be the stan
dard tit my conduct in the path before me.
Charged as I now am with the grave nut
ililliciilj m-k of carrying tliem out in the
moot, so tar as depends under the cousti- !

the nation, the permanent pacification of
the country iiou such principles tnd by
siicii measures as will secure tlie complete
protection of all Us citizens, in the free
enjoyment of all their constitutional
rights. Is now the one subject ol our pub
lic a Hal is which nil thougiittul and patri
otic citizens regard as of supreme import
ance. Many of the calamitous effects of
the tremendous revolution which l.as pass
ed over the Southern States still remain.
The immeasurable benefits which will
stiiely follow, sooner or later, and the
hearty and generous acceptance ot the le
gitimate results of tlie revolution ' have
not yet b en realized. This diflicult and
euibHrrao'ing question meets us at the
threshold ot this subject. The people of
these States are still impoverished and the
inestimable Messing ot a wise, honest,
and peacelul local self government is not
fully enjoyed. Whatever dillerence ot
opinion may exist as to the cause of this
condition ot tilings, tlie tact Is clear that
In the progress ot events the time lias
come when such government is the imper
ative necessity tequired by all the varied
interest-, public and private, of those
States. But it must not be forgotten that
only a local government which recognizes
and maintains inviolate the rights of all
is a true self government. With respect
to the two distinct races, whose peculiar
relations to each othei have brought upon
us the deplorable complications and per
ple-vjles which exist In those States, it
Inust government which decides ie
interests ol both races, carefully nnd
equally; it must be a government which
submits loyally and heartily to tlie consti
tution nnd the laws ot the nation, and the
laws of the States themselves; accepting
and obeying faithfully the whole constitu
tion as it is. Hesting upon tills sure and
substantial foundation, the superstructure
of beneficent local sell governments can
be built up, and not otherwise. In the
furtherance ot such obedience to the letter
and spirit ni the constitution, and in be- j
lief ot all that its attainment implies, all
so-called party interests lose their appar
ent importance, and party lines may all
lie permitted to lade into Insignificance.
The question we have to consider for tlie
immediate welfare of those States of the
Union is the question of government or
no government; of tlie social order and
the peaceful industries, and all the happi
ness that belong to It, or a return to bar
barism. It Is a question In which every
citizen of the nation is deeply Interested,
and with respect to which we ought not to
be in a partisan sense either Republicans
or Democrats, but tellow citizens and fel
low men, to whom the Interests of a com
mon country and a common humanity are
near. Tlie sweeping revolution ot the

senting a problem of tlie gravest moment
to be dealt with by the emancipated race,
by their former masters, and by the general
government, the author of the act of eman
cipation. That it was a wise, just and
providential act fraught with good
for all Concerned is now generally
conceded throughout tlie country. That
the moral obligation rests upon the nation
al government to employ its constitutional
powers and influence to establish the rights
ot tlie people it has emancipated, and to
protect them in tlie enjoyment of those
rights, when they are infringed or assailed,
is also generally admitted. Tlie evils
which afflict the Southern States can only
be reinoviid or remedied by the united and

ble paper currency, witii its fluctuations of
values, is one of the ereat obstacles to a re

views heretofore expressed by me in favor
of Congressional legislation in behalf of

It, unhappily, question's of difference

often hard to determine whether tlie real

HOW TO TlllMt.
ftyuopslN of Wliat Rev. Kuilit Said.
Ei). Statesman : Mr. Knight said
last Sunday evening that he desire! to on
ly present his personal experience; and he
well knew that the experience and testi
mony of others are just as valuable as his
own, and he onlygrve his observations
lor what they were worth. Others could do
thg same and he would gladly avail him
self of the information they Imparted. He
wanted tills and other extempore addres
ses he might make on this subject to be to
the young,. as the great necessity of under
standing how to think correctly should be
appeciated more than it lias been hereto
fore. Last lecture he gave was on read
ing mind food ; now he would say some
thing about digesting this food . He said
that thinking is systematic classification.
Building a house is, so the speaker said, a
system ot classification, in which every
part is so adjusted as to support and sup
plement each other in the building. And
so in all complete systems of reason, every
point must be so arranged as to connect
with and support all other points, and tho
entire put together should form a sytnetri
cal whole. To enable the mind to think
correctly it must be thoroughly disciplined.
To think is not mere dreaming, not roam
ing here and there in tiie realms of imag
ination, but thinking is tlie bridling of the
powers of mind nnd chaining them down
to the work. Every faculty must be so
disciplined that w hen called upon it will
be ready for use.
Systematic thinking is the lucid ar
rangement of tlie parts of argunieiit,as tlie
lawyer arranges his papers in his deck.
Mr. Knight remarked that there is noth
ing but that required some little thought.
Thinking often saves great labor. There
are a thousand steps taken where one step
would do it all. Therefore, it is a great
economy of tunc and labor to think before
rushing headlong into anything. Tlie min
ister thinks out and then .vrites his ser
mon ; that is, he classifies and then puts
the result down on paper. Said ho had
a '"grub patch" that cost him considerable
trouble. Bought a new faugled harrow ;
his hired men worked three hours and tail
ed to put it together. The trouble was
they exercised no thought. He said a man
can take a grub out of the ground quicker
and easier by thinking about the direction
ol tlio roots. The speaker illustrated the
effects of not thinking, and closed with an
elo picnt appeal for more thinking. H.

A Dutchman rented bis lands to an oil
company Ust spring, on condition of receiv
ing one-eighth of the oil procured. The well
proved to be a go;d one, and the farmer be
gan to think that the oil men should give
him a better chance, and ventured to tell
them so. They asked him what he wanted.
He said they ought lo give him one-twelfih.
The agreement was finally made, with the
nndermanding that the Dutchman was not
to tell any one.
All went smooth until the next Jdivlnlon
day came, when our Irtend was early at I a id
toseo how much better be would be oil un
der the new bargain. Eleven barrels were
rolled to one side lor the oil men and one for
him. This did not suit him. "How's dish?"
says he; "I think I vas to get more as before.
Hyjings, you make mistake."
The matters were explained to him, that
he formerly got one barrel of every eight
but it was his own proposition to only take
one of every twelve. This revelation took
him aback. He scratched his head, looked
cross, and relieved his swelling breast of
feelings of self-reproach by indignantly re
marking, "Well, by dunrler, dat ish de first time as
ever I know's eight was mor a dvvelve."

strange, not that a graduate of Oberlin Col
