Boston, Jan. 4.
To the Savannah Herald :
Tbc getting of One Governor out and another
in, in Massachusetts is quite a complicated
piece of business. Numerous forms and cus
toms have been handed down from the old
colony times, and there are others of mod
ern origin. The first day of the session is
occupied by the organization of the two
Houses and the annual sermon. After the
two Houses are organized, the Governor, the
Legislature, preceded by the Sergeaut-at-
Anns, and the various departments of the
State Governmpnt are escoried by the Inde
pendent Corps of Cadets to the Old South
Church, where the annual sermon has beeu
preached from time immemorial. The dis
course on the occasion usually partakes
somewhat of a political character, and is
accepted as a part of the gospel to govern
the legislation of the session. This year
the preacher was Rev. A H. Quint, who
war chaplain ot one of the Massachusetts
regiments during the war. The text was
from Deuteronomy, 4: 33. “Did ever
people hear the voice ot God speaking out ot
the midst of the tire, as thou hast heard, and
live?" The general lesson deduced was that
the people would control the work of recon
struction as they had controlled the war. In
the evening the cadets sat down to the an
nual dinner provided for them by the State
as a compensation tor their arduous duties
during the day. The guests included quite
a number of officers of the United States
Army, among whom was Generals Beuharn,
Wilde and Underwood. By the way. the
Cadets' dinner was the subject of an interest
ing inquiry iu the Legislature oflast year.
The tables were bountifully supplied with
that article of “creature comforts" prohibited
by tltc stern morality of onr laws, and the
inquiry was whether the State provided the
liquor in defiance of its owu laws. It was
made quite a subject for discussion, but after
thorough ventilation the subject was allowed
to d.'op, on account of some technicality
which the radical temperance men could not
see through.
In the organization of the Legislature there
was a sharp contest for Speaker, on local
issues, the successful candidate being the
representative of teetotalisin, Hoosac Tunnel,
and anti-Metropoiitan Railroad. The
Speaker, James M. Stone, is classed ns a
radical. He was a rival of Gen. Banks for
the place of United States Representative iu
the last election, but the “Bobbin Boy” was
too many guns for him. A returned soldier,
C'iipt. Edward J. Jones, who commanded a
battery during the war. was elected Sergeunt-
al-Arms. jj
On the first day of the session Governor
Andrew sent in a special message, with ac
companying reports, on the state of the mili
tia, Stale Constabulary, &c , the whole oc
cupying about one hundred pages. On the
second day he delivered a valedictory ad
dress, in which, instead of reviewing the
acts of his administration he entered into a
voluminous discussion of reconstruction. 1
will not enter into an abstract, as you will
see the whole address. It is not what is
called a radical paper hereabouts. Governor
Andrew is in favor of admitting all of the
while men of the South to their former
rights, though he would have certain guar
antees, substantially the same as required by
President Johnson ot the several States.
Negro suffrage he does not insist upon, lie
does not doubt the right of Congress to pre
scribe that as one of the conditions of resto
ration, but looks upon it as a matter of policy.
He believes that the idea of busing represen
tation on yoters instead of the total popula
tion is delusive and ineffective for good. Oa
the whole, the Governor stands much neanr
President Johnson’s ground than many who
used to call him a radical, and many of his
old political triends and admirers mourn over
his demoralization.
On the third day of the session, to-morrow,
the Incoming Governor, Hon. Alex- II. Bui
lock, of Worcester, delivers his inaugural
address and assumes the duties of his office.
He has been kept waiting at the door of the
Governor’s room two days, while Governor
Andrew has been making the most of his la-t
hours of office.
The idea of a valedictory address was con
ceived by Governor Banks, and it gave rise
to i o little scandal amoDg his friendly ene
mies—that is the men of his party who did
not belive in him ; hut as the example has
been followed by Governor Andrew, I sup
pose it will be continued as a permanent
leatuie ol' the programme of change of gov
ernment. Governors die hard in the Old
Commonwealth, and evidently are deter
mined to keep their memories green.
The new Legislature is understood to be
as radical (or a little more so) as the old.
It believes that the earth belongs to the saints,
aud that “we are the saints.” Men of liberal
ideas iu regard to their own way of living
have little to hope from it.
The Maine Legislature also assembles this
week, but as the Governor of Maine holds
over, and the customs of the Old Baystate
were not adopted in that State, I find noth -
i ng in the way of events of general interest.
The Governor believes iu Andy Johnson's
plan.
j oe Republican State Convention of New
Hampshire assembled yesterday. Governor
Smyth, of Manchester, whose administrate n
during the last year has been able, faithful
and popular, was renominated. The resolu
tions expressed confidence in President John
son in very warm terms.
One of those social events for which the
capilal of New' Hampshire is famous, oc
ean led lastMonday evening, Jan. 1. It was a
gland ball, given under the auspices of the
Association of New Hampshire Officers in
the U. S- Army- It was gotten up on the
scale, and took the place of the Governor’s
Horse Guard Sail, which have been for sev
eral years the most enjoyable affairs—in fact
the great social events ol the season. All
parts of the State were represented by i s
“beauty and chivalry,” and all were so much
delighted, that arrangements were made for
the annual recurrence of the reunion. Adju
tant General Natl, Head is the permanent
Chairman of the Committee, and that is a
sufficient guaranty that everything will go off
in good order.
New Year's Day was observed in this city
by a partial suspension of business, a parade
<>i the Police Department, over two hundred
stalwart and fine looking men being in line,
salutes in various parts of the city and on
the old Revolutionary battle-fields of the
ffiate to celebrate Emancipation—the parade
of a colored military company, the organiza
tion of various city governments, including
Boston, Cliarlc3town, Roxbury, Chelsea and
Cambridge; good resolutions, and numerous
“drinks between drinks.” In the evening
the new Continental theatre was opened un
der favorable auspices. The theatre is owned
by Morris Bros., Pell & Trowbridge. Lou
Morris is the Manager. It is one of the
cosiest theatres in the city.

Washington. Jan. 2d.—In the Supremo
Court of the United States, to-day, Justice
Clifford delivered an opinion in a case of ap
peal from the District Court of Wisconsin, in
which the Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad
was respondent. It appears that certain
mortgaged premises were several times of
fered for sale, but were not sold, and that
the appellant claimed concession ou the
ground that he was the highest bidder ; but
the Supreme Court holds that biddings at
auction are mere offers, and that there Is no
binding obligation until the consent of both
parties is given- In other words, there must
be a mutual understanding to a definite agre
ment. As the auctioneer may refuse to strike
off the property to the highest bidder, so
the bid may be withdrawn before the ham ■
mer falls. The court says that justice has
11een done, and that all parties ate satisfied
but the appellant, and that the decree of the
District Court is affirmed, with costs.
A Beactipol Peroration.—Hon. Revtidy
Johnson, on December 18tb, concluded his
argument in favor of R. H. Garland, before
the Supreme Court, as follows:
“Will the Court indulge me with a word
or two more? Every right minded man who
has within his bosom a heart capable of hu
man sympathy—who is not dead to all the
kinder aud nobler feelings of our nature—
who is not the slave of his own dishonor—
ol low, degraded passions, of hatred of his
countrymen, or political partisanship, solely
bent on its wretched triumph—reckless <>l
the nation’s welfare, must wish, must
make it the subject of his daily thought aud
of his prayers to God, that the hour may
come, and come at once, when ali the Slates
shall be again within the protecting embrace
and shelter of the Uuiou, enjoviug alike its
benefits—and greater were never vouchsafed
to man—contented aud prosperous, sharing
iu its duties, aud participating iu its own re'
nown; and when the people throughout
onr almost boundless domain may be seeu
coming together as brothers with one lovoof
country and one hope of a common destiny
—of safety, welfare and uational glory—with
one determination to achieve by united ef
forts—in former differences lorgotten, and
nothing remembered but their aucieut con
cord aud the equal title they have to share
in tne glories ol the past, and to labor to
gether tor the even greater glories of the lu-
iurc.
And may I not with the truth assure your
Honors that this result will be expedited by
the bringing within these temples—the Court
of the United States—a class of men who
are uow excluded, who by education and
character, and profession, are especially
qualified by their examples to influence the
public sentiment of their respective States,
and to bring them, if any doubt yet exists,to
the conviction which it is believed tuey un
animously entertain, that to defend the Con
stitution of the United States and the Gov
ernment constituted bv it, in ail rightful au
thority, is not only essential to their people’s
happiness and freedom, but is a solemn du.y
to their country and their God.
May it please your Honors, depend upon
it, that in that event they will be seen ga
thering around the altar of the Union, re
solved to support it under every exigency
and at all hazards, as one man; and with one
voice be heard invoking the biessiugs of
heaven for its maintenance and preservation,
till ime itself shall be no more.”
