'. At 12 o'elock and 4 minutes the', General Assembly entered the hall, the members of the Hous'e of Repre sentatives first, headed by Mr. Speak er PriGe, and. the Senate following, the Senators led by Mr. President Robinson.

I J1-, k?S IilJrEXSE THRONG, almost riotous, besieged the door, v threatening to overrun the police or to take Gov. Vance by force to the ' CapitolJ the"re to be inaugurated. After the crowd inside arid out had waited with painful eagerness for the - space of "an hour, the legislative com mittee on inauguration appeared at the door and walked-down the aisle, followed by Gov. Vance,' leaning on the arm of Gov. Brogden." They were followed in turn by Mr. Sefcre- tary of State Howerton, State Trea surer Worth, and Attorney - General Hargrove,of the late State govern ment, and other gentlemen of promi . nence,' who took seats on the stage. .

Firecrackers popped, and rockets and Roman candles shot ap through the streets1 and over house-tops; torches were set ablaze and transparencies, were lighted, and the yelling and de lighted crowds marched up and" down the streets to the music of brass bands, tin horns and all the noises which, the fire-works conld make.
