Imposing Ceremonis-A Dcihc Crowd- The i Douse-To ps CoveredWltn' Spectators. THE INAUGURAL. ADDRESS. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 14. The in auguration of Hampton took place in front of Carolina Hall this afternoon. Tbe square in front of the Hall was densely packed by ;Spersonst of both races, and the house-tops were covered with spectators. At 3:30 o'clock Hamp ton was escorted to the stand amid demonstrations of great enthusiasm. The members of the General Assembly occupied the space immediately eur- rounding the stand, with the crowd in the rear. Gen Hampton then read his inaugural address, of which the follow ing is an extract : "Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives : It is with feelings oi tne proiounaest soiicituae tnat 1 as sume the arduous duties and grave responsibilities, of the high position to which the people of South Carelina have called me. it is amid events un precedented in this republic that I taice tne chair as Uhief Magistrate of tnis otate. in a time el prolound peace wnen no legal omcer had been resisted in the proper discharge of his functions we have witnessed a :speetacle abhor rent to every patriotic heart and fatal to .Republican institutions federal troops used to promote the success of a political party. Undismayed, though shocked by this gross violation of the constitution of the coutry, our people with a determination that no force could subdue, no fraud could defeat, kept steadily and peacefully in the path of duty, resolved to assert their rights as American freemen, at the ballot box, that great court of final resort, before which must be tried the grave questions of the supremacy of tne constitution and the stability of our constituency, and our institutions. What the verdict of the people of South Carolina has been, you need not be told ; it has reverberated throughout the State and its echoes come back to us from every land where liberty is venerated, declaring in tones that can not be mistaken that standing on the constitution of our country we pro pose to obey the. laws, to preserve as far as in us lies, its peace and honor, and to carry out in good faith even- pledge made by us for reform and hon est government. We intend to prove to the world the sincerity of our declarations that the sole motive which inspired the grand contest we have so successfully made was not the paltry ambition for party supremacy, but the Bacred hope of re deeming our State. But it was sought to wrest the fruits of this victory from us by a gigantic fraud and a base conspiracy. When the members elect of the general assembly repaired to the capitol to take seats, armed soldiers of the Federal Government confront ed them and their certificates of elec tion were examined and passed upon by a corporal of the gnard. It was amid these appalling scenes that the members of the general assembly were called on to assume their duties as the representatives of a free State, and that State one of the original thirteen, who won our independence and fram ed our constitution, was debarred the free exercise of their rights by the pres ence of an armed force. A legal quo rum of the Lower House, after placing on record their protest, quietly with drew from the Capitol and proceeded to organize that branch of tne Ueneral Assembly. You haye seen a minority of the House usurp the powers of the whole body; you have seen the majori ty expelled from their hall by threats of force ; you have seen persons having no shadow of a claim as members, ad mitted to seats as Representatives by the votes of men who themselves were actine in direct violation of the con stitution; and you have seen the last crowning act of infamy by which a candidate tor the office of Oovernor defeated by the popular vote,had him self declared elected by his conspira tors. It is due to my position as the Chief Magistrate of this Common wealth to place on record my solemn and indignant protest against acts which 1 consider as subversive oi civil liberty and destructive of our form of government. A great task is betore the Uonservative party of this State. They entered on this contest with a platform so broad, so strong, so liberal that every honest citizen could stand upon it. They re cognized and accepted the amendments P. ..... J r - In. xl : to tne constitution in gooa iaiui; mey themselves to work reform and to es tablish good government; they pro mised to keep up an efficient system of public education, and tbey de clared solemnly that all citizens of South Carolina, of both races and of both parties should be regarded equal in the eye of the law: all to be fully protected in the enjoyment of every political right now possessed by them. To the faithful observance of these pledges we stand committed, and as . , . - i tbe representative oi tne conservative party 1 held myself bound by every dic tate of honor and of good faith to use every effect to ; have the pledges re deemed fully and honestly. Let us show to all of them that the true inter est of both races can best be secured by cultivating peace and promoting prosperity among all classes of our fel low citizens". -I. rely confidently on.tbe support of the members of the General Assembly in my efforts to attain these laudable - ends, and I trust that all branches of the government, will unite cordially in" this patriotic work. "If so united and working with resolute will and earnest determination, we may hope soonjto see the dawn of a brighter day for our State. God in His infinite mercy grant that it may come speedily, and may Me sho wer tne ricnesc mess- ings -of Speace and happiness on our whole-people." i .

The chair in- which Gen Hampton was seated' was then wrap ped in the national colors, and he was borne on the shoulders of a dozen men to his hotel, escorted by the entire crowd.

Ikdiakapoli, Dec 14. The Demo cratic Committee has issued an address to the people of Indiana, which calls upon all people without respect to party who make our country's welfare paramount to every other considera tion; all who say that the vote of the people shall not be defeated" by fraud, and all who stand by fair play and honesty to meet at their county seats on December 23d, to make expression of the popular judgment that cannot be disregarded, and to appoint men as their delegates to a State convention on January 8th, who will fearlessly and prudently make such declaration and take such action as will give our State ber proper position and influence in maintaining the Constitution, the gov ernment and its rights, and the liber ties of the people.
