A blinding osno"v storm to day pre vented the imposing ceremonies which had been" arranged for outdoors, and Gov. Vance's inau2tiration took .place in Tucker's Hall. A large number of visitors were "unable to eain admit- tance. Gov. v ance was sworn in by Chief Justice Peawon of the Supreme Court.. -Lt. Governor Jarvis, and other State officers were sworn in by Judsre G Reade, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Gov. Vance'd inaugu ral address was greeted with storm after storm of applause. Such an Jti posing, military di-play ;ias rfot been seen since. the days of the wan associated press dispatch. Raleigh, N, C, Jan. 1. The inaugs uration of Gov. Vance possed off quietly. A large crowd in attendance. His address was applauded to the echo. Alluding to National affairs, he said: I conceive our situation to be critfcal in the extreme, our only reliance now is upon the moderation and patriotism of Congress. If the representatives of the people and of the States shall not be able to make a peaceable and constitutional solution of the difficulty in which the country pow ftndaitself, and there should be an attempt as is threatened to inaug- urate the candidates not fairly elected one of- two things win nappen. Either the majority of the American people will quietly submit to a great wrong involving the question of constitution, or there will be a resort o violence. Let'us look things in the ace. The circumstances o'f N. C, as well as-of the .Southern States gene rally, imperatively , demand that we should not be forward in this matter. More than all things else, except good government, we need peace. In com mon with the constitutional party in the North, we think we have fairly elected our candidate for President; upon tnar. party ana not upon our selves devolves the propriety and the duty oi taKing ine neeueusiepsiowarui securing the - rights oi tne majority. But let it not be supposed that we are indifferent to their actidn, or decline to come to the front because less en titled to do so than others. Blasted we have been by the desolation of war, irged of rashness by the, tires of revolution, and sobered both by public calamity and private sorrow, as have been, we yet cherish the love of liberty in our hearts, as the mouth piece of more than a million people. I believe I can, with propriety, say for them that North Carolina may confidently be reiied upon to sustain that portion of the people of : the United States, which shall convince us that it is struggling for the Constitution, the laws and public'justice,whioh.are the life and the soul Of the Amefyban Union. On the other hand we do not wish it to be understood that we are ready or willing to embark in revolution. Nor . on the other hand that we are willing to quietly submit to an outrage that physical force, direct ed by party zeal,may see fit to impose. The one course tending to provoice violence, and i the other, to invite nnnression we do wish it understood that we will follow, the lead of the con stitutiorial party of the North; Show ua the law and it sufliceth us."

Tilden ; Surrenders the Guber natorial Chair in a Significant Speech. . Albany, 1 Jan ' 1. Luciu3 Robinson was inducted Governor of thia State to day. The retitmg.Governor, Mr Tilden, addressed him as follows : -; - "Mk. Roeinson: The people of the State have given you a distinguished evidence of their ..canfidence in chops ing you for their Chief Magistrate upon votes unexampled in that testi mony I cordially concur; without as suming to add to its alue. It is to me a great satisfaction to surrender the chief official trust of this common wealth to one whose valuable co-opera tion I have experienced, and wtose career furnishes such assurance of his purpose to prosecute the work to which I have consecrated two years of official service, and three previous i years of my private life, to recall the govern rent of thb State to the pure condition in Which a generation ago, you and I knew it; to remove fungus growths which, in evil times had overspread its administration and legislation) to light ent the intolerable burdeusTupon the people; to .improve institutions and laws : to 'svstenratichllv palT intn ih civil service, whether by appointment or election, men of higher ideals of official life, of better training and more general culture thus utilizing a class inferior in its arts of political comple tion, but superior in capacities for pub lie usefulness. These are noble obieets: I 7 they had to be pursued through stormy conflicts with selfish interests and fixed habits. OursunDort was so unfatleringja trust in the people. If the people of real reform' could be made visible, our inspiration was a belief that nothing worth saving could be lost if only our work did not fail. Applause The scrutiny of all candid men may safely be challenged as to what has been alreadyaccorliplished. Wastful and corrupt systems destroyed, State taxa tion reduced one! half, and remedies for official malversation enacted. th management of the public works, and prisons reorganized, and commissions preliminary to othr reforms instituted. These are valuable results, but there are others even more important.. The standard of official cocduct. has been elevated, and with it t he ideas,motives and influences which surrouned offi cial life as with an atmoanherp. The public suspicion of. legislative venality ia. disappearing, and the lob bies ore disbanded. The chief execu tive and administrative trusts of the State have been committed to gentle men who are eminent, not only for personal probity, but for capacity and high ideals oi official duty. A genuine reform in the civil service has thus been realized, which could not be the product WASHINGTON. of any mere system, or any mere legis atioo, without the effective cooperation hava gone to St Patrick's of the men constituting the aotnal . : : t i i ., I nuiuimsuaiiuu. x uave traced mese results, approved by the people at the ast two elections in this State, because they encourage the aspirations of the community for a better government, and lend to inspire a noble ambition in all rising men to compete for honors and power, by appealing to the best moral force of human society. As an example, these results are infinitely important.' ' - LOUISIANA. More Dual Legislatures Organized New Orleans, Jan; 1. At this hour; eleven a.m., there are no indications, of trouble. A heavy force of police with side arms .are on duty at the station house. Governors Kellogg and Packard are beseiged this morning by political friends. Nearly all the Re publican members of the Legislature are already in the building, while the Democratic members and their friends are in, caucus at Democratic head quarters, on Canal street, and as far as known, have not agreed upon any programme. Whether the Clerk of the House will call the roll furnished by. the Secretary of State.- is. the problem which none are able to solve but should he refuse, the Republican members will call upon ono of their members to perform that duty. The United States troops are under arms at their quarters, and ' U. 1 S. Marshal Pitkin is at his office in the Custom House, which is connected with the State House by telegraph wire merely ior any. emergency, jxo one appre hends trouble, unless brought about by some unforeseen occurrence. becokd dispatch. The DenJocratic members, who have been in caucus, have sent a committee to see if thi State House is still barri caded, and if so, they will refuse to go to the House, and will, as soon as a hall can be secured, proceed to organize the Legislature,' at which Clerk Trezeyant will officiate in calling the roll. A considerable crowd is congregating at the corner of St Charles and Canal streets, near Democratic headquarters, but there is little excitement. THIRD DISPATCH. ; About noon, the Democratic com mittee called at the State House and asked that the barricades and police be removed, which Gov Kellogg declined, and the Democrats withdrew. At 12:30 the Clerk of the House made a similar demand, which was likewise refused, and he'refused to call the roll ; where upon. Louis Sauer, a member from Ayogelles, called the House to order, at the request of Secreta;y of State Ds- onde, and called the rolj. Sixty-eight members answered, making a quorum. The oath was administered to members, i Nominations for Speaker were an nounced, and ex-Gqve'rhors Hahn and Warmouth were placed in nomination. The vote being taken by yeas and nays, Halm received 63, and was declared elected, and took the chair. The Senate was promptly organized by Lieut Gov Antoine, with more than a quorum. During these proceedings about five hundred persons were assembled on Royal and St Louis streets, iti front and on side of the State House, who cheered DemocratiO Committee when it emerged from the State House, but beyond this there was no noisy demonstrations.

A New Orleans special to the Herald says: The Dam ocratic members of the Legislature met in secret caucus yesterday morn ing, when over 60 were present, and discussed the policy to be pursued in view of its assembling to-day. The point at issue was whether they should refuse to go in the de facto legislature and organize outside at a separate house, including the counted Out mem bers, or whether those members returned by the Returning Board Bhould- accept their certificate and make.the contest inside, The city and more partisan members urged the former course while the country rep resentation, which is more conservative in tone, favored the latter. It was finally decided that the duly returned members should accept their certlfi catts, and that the members, both with or without certificates, should to-day proceed to the State House in a body, and demand admission. Upon a portion being refused, the others will enter ana tase tneir seats, prepnreu iu make a desperate : and . exhaustive contest in behalf of their countedout colleagues. Louis Bush was unani- moosly agreed upon as the Demrcratio i candidate for Bneatcer. Another cau cus was appointed for last night. PLASHES. 4 NewYomc, Jan 1.

The usual official reception of the President was held to-day, and among officials : The diplomatic corps and army and navy officers. There was a large attendance. The general public who were received at one o'clock, was thinly repaeseuted, there being . at that hour a furious snow storm prevailing,thus preventing hundreds from availing themselves of the opportunity of paying their res pects to the Chief Magistrate on the occasion of hid last official reception s President. The usual routine was observed, and the display made by the diplomats, and the army and navy was attractive. The toilets of the la- dies were superb. Mrs. Grant was assisted by several ladies, iucludiog Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. Fred. Grant. The State parlors were elaborately decorated, and despite the terrible storm without, there was a scene of brilliancy and animation within the mansion that has rarely if ever been eclipsed. f , ASK JTJST IN XXCEIPT OF A Anti-leuiatic Flannel, White Twilled FLANNEL, EXTKA HEAVY CpiTON FLANNEL, .
