Message from the governor announcing pardons granted by him since date of his message to the legislature on November 3, as follows: Robt. H. Chambers, Gwiunett county, retailing spirituous liquors; sentenced to three months. Pardoned because he had already been confined five months before trial, and his health had betn so impaired in jail as to render him unable to labor. John Keagh, convicted of vagrancy in 8umter county. Pardoned because he is a citizen of Wilkes county with sutfleient property to support himself, and being of unsound mind he had wandered off in .Sumtercouuty and been convicted before his whereabouts were ascertained by his friends. These facts were unknown to the judge upon his trial. Themas Lyman, convicted in 1871, in Cobb county, of assault with intent to murder; the evidence showed that while technically guilty there was no express malice, and the injury to the party assault ed was very slight. He had bee.i imprisoned five years, and the party assaulted with .many others had joined in the petition for his pardon. R. F. Whidden, convicted of larceny : Usabilities removed because of youth and subsequent good conduct. Mary PuckeLt, convicted of arson in Walton county in 187(i; pardoned because shBGiad Served at hard labor for ten years. The house burned had been a log cabin in which were all her personal effects. The evidence was entirely circumstantial, and the penitentiary keepers had joined in re quest for her pardon. , Adjonrned to 10 a. m. to-morrow. Inaugural Pro erf dim,--. At 12 o’clock the senate entered the house of representatives and President Davidson took the chair. Resolutions and journal providing for the joint session and inaugural ceremonies were read. At 12:15 the doorkeeper of the house an nounced the presence of the joint cprnmit- tee and the governor-elect, the gallant -John B. Gordon. They entered. Governor AJordon upon the arin of the chairman of the senate committee, Governor McDaniel upon the arm of the chairman of the house -committee, and the others in accordance with the programme already published. The inaugural ceremonies were begun with prayer by Rev. John Jones, chaplain of the senate, in which he eloquently asked the blessing and guidance of God upon the new administration. The presi dent of the senate introduced the Hon. John B. Gordon, who spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the General Assembly, Friends and Fellow-citizens: The constitu tion of Georgia rightfully declares that “public officers are the trustees and serv ants of the people.” Custom, which has ripened into an unwritten law, requires a brief address from me, as one of these servants at the inauguration of this new administration. Called ■ by the people to act as chief executive of this state forAhe two ensuing years, I submit some thoughts which seem to me worthy the most serious consideration. Tlie discussion will be confined mainly to one suggestion, both because of its per tinence and its commanding importanoe. That suggestion is this: The time has come in our progress as a nation when greater interest should be centered in the state governments. My belief is that in the not remote future there are grave problems confronting us which will sub ject to the severest test our American svstem. My object will be to point out some of these dangers and to suggest that our greatest safety lies in the earnest sup port and upbuilding of our state govern ments. In the early history of the republic, federal and not state government was necessarily the object of supi erne popular concern. At that period the question was one of national existence. The federal government at that time required the best services which the combined statesman ship of the country could furnish in order to insure our stability as an inde pendent nation. At that time the federal government ueeded to be strengthened m the affections and esteem of the American people, as well as in the confidence and respect of other nations. At that time the federal government required the command of the country’s resources—its mind and muscle, its commerce and its revenues. At that time a liberal construction of all dele gated powers was essential in order to make the federal government what Jefferson termed it, “The sheet anchor of our peace at home _ and safety abroad.” But happily there is no longer any room for concern as to tiie stability and power of that government. Our inde pendence as a nation lias become so se curely established that with a permanent union between the states and a general concord among the people, all the com bined powers of the earth could scarcely compass our national destruction. There is not upon this globe a civilized people among whom the American republic is not known and esteemed. There is not a civilized nation where her power and in fluence are not fell and respected. There is not a corner of the earth, on land or sea, where the flag of this mighty nation is not potential to protect the rights and redress tion’s good, os we trust, those sectional dissensions which wertT Inevitable from dissimilar and conflicting institutions Providentially established on this conti nent. From political contusion, angry controversies and bloody conflicts have coinn l national union more enduring, Bvury I,noughtful citizen in all tils coun try rauai reuliz. : hat the federal govern ment has not only been preserved in all i'.s constitutional vig r us the “sheet anohor of our puacu at home and safety abroad,”, but has been aeeordod powers not originally designed in the fetruuturo of the government. So that I he essentials of national safety as avowed by Jefferson I have been more than realized. But 1 invoke you to remember that Mr. Jefferson proclaimed at the same time an other truth no less essential to free gov- • erument in this country. That truth was that “the surest bulwark against anti- 1 republican tendencies is the support of the state governments in all their rights.” I This support of the states involves no dis loyalty to the general government or to any of its rights. There is no where in ! this republic either disloyal citizens or dis- ! loyal sentiments. But everywhere all | hearts, voices and arms are ready for the | preservation of the general government in I all its constitutional vigor as the pledge of j osr peace and safety. But the time has some when all patriotic hearts and voices ! should also unite to support the states in j all their rights. The necessity has arisen for q.ectiug some "bulwark against anti- j republican tendencies.” This foundation | doctrine proclaimed by Jefferson calls now, j and calls imperatively, for renewed inter- j ost in all the state governments. As long as national existence was a ques tion; ns long as civil war threatened dis memberment; as long as the status of a newly emancipated race was undeter- | mined; so long might necessity be pleaded ! as reason for abatement of special interest ' in the states, and for increasing solicitude j for the federal government, and possibly I for supporting it, if need be, by action 1 “outside tha constitution.” But, as has 1 already been shown, these considerations have no longer weight or pertinence, and I cannot be used as plausible arguments for still further increase of federal power. 1 ! repeat that, for the defense against the I outside world, our nation is sinfply omni- I potent; that our union is to- be as lasting as ' time, and that race freedom among us , is everywhere established and defended. ' There is no room for apprehension, there- ■ fore, that the genernl government will j ever lose its constitutional vigor or power j of self-preservation. The danger is that I the states may lose theirs—not by speedy, i sudden or violent revolution and usurpa- ' tion, but by gradual accretions to federal j power and imperceptible absorption of | state factions. An illustration of this danger is furnished in the fact that under the “general wel- j fare” clause of the federal constitution, , legislation has been attempted and a con struction given which was never contem- ! plated by the'framers of that sacred instru ment. Another illustration is found in the his- ! torical fact that the momentous events of j our recent hiatory have served to dwarf, ! in the estimation of the people, the im- j portance of the states, which originally or- | dnined that government. Still another illustration may be seen in | the transparent purpose of certain leaders j of public opinion to curtail the legitimate ' congressional representation ,of some of the states upon tine unjust and untruthful assumption that large bodies of citizens ! are debarred the right and freedom of the j elective franchise. But an infinitely greater danger to the ; future is yet to be mentioned. The great est of alt dangers lurks in the silent but j certain growth of a sentiment for stronger central government. It is a sentiment which not only acquiesces in the diminu tion of state powers, but demands a strong er and yet stronger government at, Wash ington in proportion to our material ad- | vancement; the multiplication of states; the increase of population and the birth of new and perplexing problems. The danger from this sentiment is in- j creased by the very plausibility of the de- ! mand. The conviction that the mostseri- j ous issues confront us will be fixed and deepened by a thoughtful contemplation i of our future. There are those who hoar me whose ' children will see this great country with l perhaps half a hundred states and two ! hundred millions qf people. Upon its j vast domain, densely populated, will spring multiplied industries, with diverse i claims and conflicting interests. The Pacific j states, the Atlantic states, the gulf states, j the middle states, the eastern states and | tlie great west will demand through their | respective representatives i and with in- I creased earnestness, legislation at Wash- | ington friendly to their respective inter- | ests and consonant with their varied , theories. Great social, economic and class problems, which even now fill with anxious ' forebodings the patriotic and thoughtful mind of the country, will press forsolution with resistless urgency. These dangers, I repeat, are not remote. | Already moving in the womb of our imine- ; diate future are giant problems struggling for birth ami throbbing with a life and vigor prophetic of impending peril. Al ready has this young republic, stretching I her maternal arms to welcome the op- | pressed of every nation, found clasped to her bosom that socialistic spirit which has j cursed other nations with discord, blood- ; shed and Are. Already can we lay our fin gers upon the pulse of tlie coming century and feel the swelling current rushing j ihvough its distended veins and gathering j momentum with each passing decarle. ! Into that century’s life is to be gathered \ the mingled Wood of the two hundred mil lions of people representing all the races, all the colors, all the zones, all tlie counter I currents of thought and conflicting creeds, j interests, purposes and theories of govern- ■ ment. It is neither patriotic nor prudent to ignore these future dangers and trust to i temporary devices when the emergencies j are upon iis. The wise man seeth the evil and provideth against it. Prescience and ' prudence are potent factors in securing j success in the ordinary affairs of life. They ! are rudimental in that most difficult of human undertakings—the science of free j government. j It is but natural, therefore, that thought ful men should lie profoundly concerned | about the future of this republic, Per- | haps it is also natural that some minds should turn to the strong arm of federal; power for protection against these eon- I tein plated dangers. And if the problem | were narrowed to the simple duty oi en- | forcing the public peace, protecting pri- ■ rate property and preserving the national ; life -the ready solution would he found in , a vigorous, consolidated, central adminis- | tration. It would, perhaps, be a task of easy accomplishment should the people , consent thereto to govern this country for j 100 or ‘200 years to come, as England i governs Ireland or Russia governs Poland, j But that is not the problem before us. In | our effort to preserve peace, properly, and i national life, are also involved the integri- tv of states, the life of the republic, and | the existence of citizen freedom. The work ■ before us in the future is the most stupen dous task ever imposed upon the states manship of any age. It is to save liberty , and yet govern a country with two hun- ■ dred millions of people; with its vast area; j with its varied needs and conflicting de- | mauds; with its capital to protect and its Inbor to encourage; with its socialistic problems to solve, and yet to leave its citi zens free; with its gigantic corporations and mammoth monopolies measuring arms with the people themselves—in a word It is to survive the certain perils of the future and still to live after them at once a united nation and vet a republic of states, sover eign ,in their spheres, independent, equal aud free. This, I repeat, is the great problem of our futuru—to secure stability amidst new and great perils and yet have liberty. Two roads are open, one toward centralization, tlie other toward local adjustments. Which will you take? The one or the other will be cnosen bv the people, and must be chosen quickly. Let it be again ndmitted in the argument that the plan of increased central power at Washington would give stable government, vigorous social institutions aud public or der. But let it also be remembered that these are less than half I Ik: blessings prom ised by the founders of this republic: Sta bility is essential, but stability through progressive accretions to federal power, os exigencies arise, numt end al last in abso lutism or centralization. Stability thus secured is.tbe death ol our duplex system. It is the destruction of state independence. It is tlie doom of free government in America. There is one way, and one way only, to secure in .our momentous future both stability and liberty. That way is to depend, as perils increase, more and more up m ltic status mid to trust more to local adjustment. Whatever may have been the wisest policy in the past, it is cer tain, I think, that in the future our great est. safety, progress, permanence and free dom lie in tile direction of enlarged local administration. Tlie frees* government is that which is controlled by homogeneous communities; and the strongest govern ment for u. country like ours is that which devolves upon states the largest responsi bilities. As population becomes dense; as industries multiply; us interests conflict; us creeds clash and the discord of jarring theories increases over this widely extend ed country, the more and more difficult will become the problem of government through central administration at Wash ington; and the greater will bo tho necessi ty for entrusting to the states all questions with which they may constitutionally deal. Such a policy as I have sought to indi cate would make stronger instead of weak er the general government in the confi dence and affections of the people. It would aid the solution of problems, which the general government can never solve to the satisfaction of communities with con flicting interests. It would make secure forever the rights of the smaller and weak-. er states. It would make Rhode Island as secure as Texas, Connecticut as Ohio, Flor ida as Now York. Nor do the increased duties,which would thus devolve upon the local governments transcend in any measure the magnitude, dignity and importance of those already entrusted to the states. There is scarcely aright of person or of property; scarcely a relationship to family, church or society that is not now denned mid protected by state luws and state courts. There is seareelv a barrier against crime or a law for the defense of home, of reputation, of life or of freedom that is not erected or enucted by your state govern ments. There is scarcely one of that great body of rights extorted at Ruiniemede or in the “petition of rights” by parliament, or one for which Hampden died or Crom well conquered that are not now secured to the American people by their local gov ernments. To aid them in preparing the states for the still broader and more general duties of the future becomes a commanding obli gation upon all patriotic citizens. Yielding to the federal government the most loyal devotion; earnestly supporting it in all its constitutional vigor as the “sheet anchor” of peace and safety, let Georgians resolve that this state at least shall be prepared for whatever the future may have in store for it. Let the broadest and most prac tical education of her children be an object of universal concern. Lot her rich mental capabilities, her varied mineral and manufacturing resources and all her transportation facilities be assidu ously developed. Let her agriculture, which is the foundation of her prosperity aiid upon which depends her progress in every direction, belan object of peculiar and absorbing interest and be encouraged and promoted by every legitimate sup- j port. Let her high credit be sustained at , its present honorable and enviable stand- I ard. Let the most, capable of her sons re- ! alize that in the service of their state, in j making her laws, shaping her policies, and advancing her material interests, are great honors arid fertile fields for useful ness. Lei. the wise care of her Christian charities; the reformation of her prisons and the still higher elevation of public morals enhance the just pride and augment the self-respect of her people and add new glories to the already splendid history of our beloved state. At the conclusion of the splendid ad dress of General Gordon he signified his readiness to take the oath, and Chief Jus tice Jackson, advancing to the front of the speaker’s desk, extended the Holy Bible and spoke as follows: “You, John B. Gordon, do solemnly swear that you will fait hfully execute the office of governor of the state of Georgia, and will, to the best of your ability, pre serve, protect, and defend the constitu tion thereof, aud the constitution of the United States of America.” The great seal of state was then handed to President Davidson by the secretary of state aud passed by him to Governor Gor don, who in hir. turn again entrusted it to the keeping of the secretary of state. President Davidson then declared John B. Gordon, of DuKalb county, duly elect ed governor and commander in chief of the army and navy of Georgia for the en suing term. Benediction by the chaplain of the house. Adjourned. ALL HANDS AT WORK. Augusta Evening News.' Just as Committeeman Wright snid on the evening of his settlement of the mill troubles, just, so the operatives acted, obe diently, willingly, cheerfully, and the wheels of all the mills t urned again this morning. This statement about covers the ground for to-day, for all tlie mills opened with about their usual Monday morning lists. The Augusta and Sibley mills had a large number less than the old rolls, because during the past three months many oper atives have left the city and strayed oil'to other work. All the mills have absentees on this and other accounts, like sickness, and the usual happenings about the mills and operatives’ houses, but the opening of all the mills was about as usual before the trouble. At the Augusta factory 400 went to work and were assigned places by Superintend ent Crombe, and about 40 or 50 were told to come back Wednesday, when work would be ready for them. The mill has been closed long and worked irregularly, and it will take several days to get the whole mill in operation. The former op eratives numbered 1KKJ, and sometimes 050 were on tne pay rod. so there will lie plenty ot room for all applicants. There were 145 hands.already at work in tlie fac tory. but so many of the former hands are out of town that there will be no difficulty in providing work for all comers. The Sibley started up all right, though there were a number of absentees for the same cause, aud all the other milts will he furnishing work for applicants as they come in. The King and Enterprise and the Alger non, Shamrock and Riverside began with nearly their old forces in their same posi tions, and the prospects for the mills are very bright. The operatives are all happy on their return to work and are moving the mi chines with willing hands. The Sibley mill has neveroperated all its machinery as yet, but with an addition of about twenty five hAnds, which the com pany expects to put to work in a few days, the entire machinery of tills giant mill will he in operation. A few of those who applied to day were told to wait, until work was provided, but there will tie room for all. COMMITTEEMAN WRIGHT. Committeeman Wright is still in the city, and will remain until he has settled the indebtedness of.the order with the merchants. He has hud much trouble with demands for rents from parties and for medicines, etc., ohiefly from a member of t.ho executive committee of the local Knights. Dr. Salty, who lias been drawing a salary from the Knights for medical ser vice and medicineswben the city furnishes ■a city physician and free medicines at the dispensary. All such tillla Mr. Weight, will tint he responsible for, but he will settle all audited accounts. Its has inadu n strong and favorable im pression with all whom he has met, and the presentation of a handsome walking stick by Mayor May, in behal f of the t-iti zei'.a, and his acceptance. Inis added to the popularity of Mr. Wright in Augusta. IDl.KRS AND DEADHEADS OUT. “The beauty of the settlement and the return to work is that idlers aud dead heads are out of a job. The leaders did not know how to manage the order mid they really did not know how much they were in debt.” Thus sooke a prominent sympathizer of the Knights in the fifth ward to the Evening News to-day. pork ZT>, I,iuil >12"„i.i.r» OS. .Shell rib sides, loose, yn :I5A 30.
