Syno psis of the Inaugural Ad
dress of Governor Jenkins.
Mii.lbdgevii.lis, Dec. 14. —Gov. Jenkins
was inaugurated at noon to-day.
In hi 9 address to the Legislature, he says
that there must be no conflict between the
Constitution of the United States and the
Constitution of Georgia. The laws of the
United Slates are supreme.
He pays a handsome tribute to the good
conduct of the negroes duriDg the war. He
says they must be thoroughly protected in
person and property and have the right to
enter the courts. They should be encour
aged to work, and they would then be the
best working class in the world, and their
late owners the best employers in the world.
The Governor reviewed the condition of
the State public institutions. He says that
even light taxes will be burdensome, but
thinks the people will not suffer. His ad
dress concludes with, “ May God help us
all!”
At the close of the address, Provisional
Governor Johnson handed the great seal ot
the State of Georgia to Mr. Jeukins, the oath
of office was taken and Charles J. Jenkins
was declared by the President of the Senate
to be the Governor of the State of Georgia.
The sentiments of the iut ugural address

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY,

Which was adopted.
Resolved, That the Joint Committee of the

to-morrow morning.
House—Monday.
Millledqeville, Dec. 11, 1865.
At the close of tbe reading of tbe Journal
and after tbe transaction of some unimportant
business, Mr. Kirby, of Chattanooga, moved
to suspend tbe rules to take up the resolu
tion bringing on the election of United States
Senators.
Mr. Dubose, of Hancock, was opposed to
going into an election at this time. It was
important that the legislation in reference to
freedmen should be perfected at as early a
day as possible. Under existing circumstan
ces we could very well defer the election of
Senators until after tbe inauguration of the
Governor. By that time we may be able to
avail ourselves of the services of a distin
guished citizen whom tbe people of Georgia
delight to honor, and whom we feel confident
would receive the almost unanimous vote of
(be General Assembly for a position which
be is so eminently qualified to fill to the
advantage and honor of tbe State and coun
try. The impediments at present existing in
tbe way of his accepting the position would,
it was hoped by that time, be removed.
Mr. Kirby insisted upon taking up the res
olution. He thought if the people could see
the action of tbe House in this matter, they
would stand aghast at our delay. The
President had intimated that he desired
a speedy organization of the State
Government and tbe election of Senators and
Representatives. The people desired the
same thing. So far as they were concerned,
they bad acted promptly. They had elect
ed a Convention and a Legislature, and they
expected the members ot this body to elect
Senators and other officers, and to proceed
with the legislation so much needed [a the
present unsettled condition of the country.
There was another reason. He desired to
hold these elections at once, so that th& Can
didates might go home and no longer occu
py the attention of members. He saw no
propriety iq further postponement in the ex
pectation that the distinguished gentleman
alluded to would accept the position of Sen
ator. He understood from what he consid
ered good authority, that that gentleman
had put himself in communication with tbe
President* and that the President had ad
vised against bis becoming a candidate for
that office.
Mr. Pottle, of Warren, was prepared to
state that the declaration ot the Speaker
was unauthorized. No such intimation of
the President’s wishes iD regtyjd to the Sen
atorship had been given. HP (Mr. P.) be
lieved that in due time the disabilities
of the distinguished gentleman alluded
to wonld be removed, when the
State and country might have the
benefit of his commanding talents and
ripe Statesmanship. There were no good rea
sons why these elections should be brougt on
now, white there were many reasons why
they should be deferred. If the President
had expressed any desire in his message that
Senators and Representatives should be sent
immediately to Washington, it had entirely
escaped bis observation. On the contrary,
he bad given as reasons for believing that be
did not so desire. The Provisional Governor
had been instructed not to grant certificates
of election to our Representatives elect. How
do we know but that reasons of State exist
for treating our Senators in the same man
ner. He hoped the elections would not be
pressed at this time.
The motion to suspend the rules to take up
the resolution tb bring on the election of
Senators, the ayes and nays being called,
was lost, ayes 6C, nays 93.
Mr. Qartrell, of Cobb, offered a resolution,
under the suspension of the rules, that the
members of both branches of thh General
Assembly convene in tbe Hall of the House
of Representatives, at 11 o'clock, on the
ot —and proceed to the election of two
United Slates Senators, &c.
Mr. Qartrell suid he did not desire to pre
cipitate the elections,-but he wished to fix
some certain day sooner or later ou which
they should lake place. The House might
fill the blanks with what day they pleased.
He would be satisfied with their pleasure in
the matter, and the questlou would be at
rest.
Tito House refused to fill the blanks and
the resolution was laid on the table.
A message was received from the Prov.
Uqyernor transmitting the report* of the Fi
nance Committee and of the Superintendent
ol the Western A Atlantic Railroad, which
were properly referred.
The resolution to bring on the election of
Stale Printer was laid on the table for lb*
pre* eat.
Mr McWhorter, ot Greene, offered a re*
olutioo that whereas the late Convention had
eutheriimd the Provisional Governor to bor
row an amount of mousy for the use of the
biel* on certain condition#, sud having tall
*4 in obtain the money on the term* pi a

and l ietween freedmen and whi.e persons,
where the amount involved is not over S2O,
aso in settle all disputes about labor per
formed, when the amount claimed does not
exceed S2O. House then adjourned til 3
o’clock P. M.
afternoon session-
The House met at 3 o'clock The tlisi
business taken up was a resolution fixing the
per diem and mileage of officers and members
of the General Assembly. The /*r diem pay
was fixed as follows: The President of the
Senate and Speaker ot the House to receive
each sl2 per day ; the members oi eafh
House $9 per day; the Secretary of the Sen
ate and Clerk of the House, each $lO per day;
the other Clerks $9 per day ; tbe Doorkeep
ers and Messengers each $» per day and
mileage. The mileage of members the same
as prescribed by the Code, the distance to be
computed by the nearest practicable mail
route. .
Because, perhaps, this was the most in
teresting subject up today, the action ot the
House was remarkably prompt. There was
some opposition to the increase of pay, but
the call for the ayes and nays, was on each
occasion voted down, for the' simple reason,
no doubt, that it would occupy too much
time.
The call of the counties was resumed, and
Mr. J. J. Jones, of Burke, introduced a bill
to prohibit white persons from buying wheat,
corn, cotton, rye, tobacco, &c. from negroes
without a permit from the persons by whom
they are employed. The bill allows negroes
to sell baskets, brooms, mats, collars, and
other articles of their own manufacture with
out a permit.
Mr. of Bibb—A bill for the re
lief of securities on criminal bonds.
Mr. J. J. Jones, ol Burke—A bill to amend

Also, a resolution to appoint a joint stand

Railroad.
Mr. Yahu, of Dougherty—A bill to facili

Mr. Morrow, of Columbia—A bill to com

Also, a bill to prevent the galloping of

concubinage among negroes, and to compel
their marriage in certain cases.
Mr. Stallings, of Coweta—A bill to prevent
the sale to negroes of guns, pistols, dirks,
sword canes, slung shots, bowie knives and
other deadly weapons.
Also, a bill to exempt from taxation the
property of the widows ol soldiers, when
such property does not exceed SOOO.
Mr. Rogers, of Dade—A bill to incorporate
the Lookout Valley Miniug Company.
Before concluding the call of counties the
House adjourned until tomorrow morning, 9
o'clock.
RUMOR AND OPINION.
There was a rumor this morning that the
Provisional Governor had sent a communica
tion to the -President requesting to be reliev
ed, and representing that matters here were
moving along satisfactory, and that Mr.
Jenkins, the Governor elect, was a man of
patriotic and conservative views, in whose
hands the Executive power of the State
might be safely entrusted. It was also stated
that a despatch had beeu received from
the President of a gratifying and encourag
ing character. The first reports I have
reason to believe is true. It is'also probable
that there is some foundation for the latter.
The rumor, together with the tone of the
President’s Message, which reached here in
the newspapers received yesterday I have no
doubt influenced tbe action of the House this
morning in refusing to go into an election
for United States Senators, and also to-set a
particular day for the election. It is the pre
vailing belief among tbe members that when
the action of the General Assembly is known
by the President, and that it is the wish of a
very large majority of both Houses that Hon.
A. H. Stephens shall represent the State in
the United States Senate, he will be induced
to remove tbe disabilities which at present
stand in the way of his accepting that posi
tion. It is in this hope that the majority are
anxious to defer the Senatorial election until
after the inauguration of the Governor.
Some are ot opinion that tbe President
will authorize tbe inauguration immediately,
and that it may come off before the recess,
which will in all probability take place on
Friday next. Should this be the case, and
Mr. Stephens receives his pardon, he will
most certainly be elected Senator by almost
a unanimous vote. In that case I think Hot.
Joshua Hill will without doubt ,be his collea
gue. •"
All eyes are now anxiously directed to
wards Washington, and while some are dis
trustful and apprehensive, the majority are
hopeful that President Johnson will be able
to resist the pressure of the radicals, and that
he will lose no time in recognizing our re
organized State Government, giving to it
prompt admission into the Union in accord
ance with bis plan of reconstruction and re
conciliation. There is reason in this expecta
tion, since the Legislature has confirmed its
action to all his requirements, and has done
and is doing what should convince even the
radicals themselves that our people have ac
cepted the results of tbe late unhappy war
in good faith, if not with as good grace as the
most arrogant and relentless of them might
desire.
A LITTLE EPISODE.
A little affair occurred here on Saturday
afternoon, which caused quite an excitement
at tbe lime, and promised to result in serious
consequences. There being no session in
the afternoon, a considerable number of mem
bers were gathered in and about the portico of
the Milledgeville Hotel. In the street wasan
old countryman, the proprietor of an ox-cart
which was standing by. Tbe old gentleman
had been indulging in whiskey rather too free
ly, and was in that condition usually denomi
nated, tight. Some of his friends were en
deavoring to put him in Ids cart in order that
he might start for home, which he stoutly
resisted. The fun had attracted a large
nnndier of noeroca who wero enjoying the
fustic Itetween the drunken man and bis
friends, when a Federal soldier came up and
bade Ilium in let ins more emphatic than re
spectful,lodisperse. that they had no business
there. Borne moved off at hi* biddiug, while
others obstinately refused to leave. Approach
ing a darky who was standing oo the sidewalk,
the soldier seized him by the collar, jerked
him into tbe street, and {gave him a kick or
two, when tbe fellow made flight. The blu*
coat got tba citizen of African a> scant down,
and was in the act of pummlltng him, wheu
a stalwart yellow fellow by the name
of Albert, who will ha remembered by the

and is sustained by such authority, as to de
mand serious attention at once.
