IN AUG DEAL ADDRESS OF [GOVERNOR A. H. COLQUITT. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives : In accordance with the constitution and laws of the State, I appear before you to take the oath of office as Governor of Georgia for the next four years, No edict ol an autocrat con venes us in this ball to-day : no coersion, wheth er it comes from a master or the exigencies of a faction, or the peril of the State—has forced us to assemble for this ceremony. But, self-mar shalled, we are here to witness the peaceful change of public administration; the dutiful and dignified surrender of power by one public servant, and the assumption of official responsi bility by another. The custom of prtdece sors, as well H3 my deep sense of gratitude to A people, dert nd from me a few words expressive of that grati tude, and indicating, in general terms, the policy which the times seem to demand. The unprecedented majority which called me here, overwhelms me with thankfulness. Lan guage fail- me iri the attempt to give it adequate expression, it shall be my effort to prove the depth of my gratitude by a complete devotion to the public interests committed to me, and by an unt emitting care tit at neither the t honor nor the welfare of this beloved commonwealth shall suffer bv the confidence you have reposed ii: me as the servant of the State. The execu tive government of a free, great and prosperous commonwealth iiko Georgia, with its million and a quartet of intelligent inhabitants, affords for the exercise of patriotic statesmanship, a sphere of honorable public service as exalted arid comprehensive as the amhi'ion of .iy man could desire. Diffident of niv ability, and distrusting my own capacity for this high and holy service, whilst 1 solicit ycuir counsels and co-operation, 1 shall reverently invoke the aid of Divine Prov idence to enable me to fuiiill the solemn obliga tions which I am now to assume. The allusion to the large majority by which I was elected—the largest ever before given in the State on a similar occasion—has been made, not in any vain spirit of personal triumph, but to deduce from the magnitude of that majority two important public lessons. It. exhibited the intense and univer-a! interest felt by the masses of our people in this State, in securing at the ballot-box, the victory of those who are con tending for the liberty and rights of the citizen and the limitations of the constitution. Never before i„ Georgia has there been a more pro found conception of the true principals of con stitutional government, a more wide-,-oread.-cc-- sibility to the dangers threatening our free in stitutions, or a more ardent and conscientious sympathy with the friends of the constitutional union. This noble devotion of our peoph to a republic of liberty and lav.-, bas pervaded .ill sections of the State and animated all classe of our population. It has given such an ex pression of sincetv confidence iu the legitimate methods of lawful election, as lames no doubi of out- fidelity io our constitutional modes of giving them utterance asd effect. lu the grand popular majority of the recent gubernatorial election, is to be read Ihe o\er \vhriming interest that Georgians ia me great issues r.c.v convulsing the country, and their determined purpose lo keep in alignment 1 1 1 (he :■ ii ioti: millions "i oui not friend® who arc seeking, by the peaceful ir.itru mentalitj f lawful sufi to i good government, uuder the ur.dispi.-tcd supre macy of I lie federal Constitution 1 but speak my own deep-felt sentiment, arid echo the public voice of Georgia, whan I say il-.ai in ail tbe complications of national poliUc-, now so replete with fevered interest, we stand j in immovable sympathy with the elected expo- j neut ef constitutional liberty retrenchment and j reform. We will adhere to him aud his co-la- i borers, with the fidelity dueto the -hv.nipion of a i righteous cause, in every patriotic endeavor they may make to secure the honest and tin mi;-, takabie will of a large majority of the American pi ople, constitute nally ex| ess i t tbe j 1 refer with especial pleasure to the second lesson of our gratifying and unprecedented mn jority in the gul lernatorial contest repeated no j less decisively in th idcntiul election in our state. As the benefits’of local self-government have been experienced, and the baleful influence of malicious interference has be-n withdrawn, the colored people have recognized that our own home folks are their true friends, and hence they have fraternized and acted with us politic ally. Large numbers voted with us, and swelled the Gubernatorial and Presidential majorities beyond all nrecedent. They have witnessed in all material interests the effects of a good home government, administered by people wed ded with them to the same soil, and whose in terests are all interwoven with their own. Of no right has the humblest of them been depriv ed. The advancement of the race in knowledge and civilization has been, and shall continue to j be, a special trust ind solemn duty. Hence, cordial relations, so natural and so accessory both to them and to Lbe whites, are being rapid- ; ly and permanently established, and quiet and | peace and sympathy between the races pervade ; the entire State. The people of this entire country have but to look, and they cannot fail to see how the more , powerful race, when left to its own sense ot . right and policy, will treat the colored citizen . and how, when thus fiee to act, the ra<-es feel for each other a mutual interest, pursue a com mon course, and enjoy a reciprocal prosperity. How wise were the lathers when the , rested the Constitution upon the solid, pillars ol local -'elf government in the States i Georgia, gentlemen, is the home of all Geor gians, of every race, color and condition ; her local government is the government of us ail; one future for weal or woe awaits us and our families, and the nobier feeling of our na*ure, as well as the haul common sense of the self interest oi all, demand the united political ac tion of all. But to pass to other matters of domestic policy wherein all Georgians have a common anu a vital interest. Not only were Constitutional and political liberty talismanic words of power in the late great contest, but retrenchment and reform shone conspicuously on all the banners that heralded the victory of the freiuds of Con stitutional liberty at the polls. The eyes of a'i Americans look with confidence to the great re former just elected President, to reform the na tional administration. Let us, gentlemen, look at home, and whilst my own immediate predecessor and your indi vidual predecessors, have not been unmindful of their duty, let U3 remember that times have changed, and values of all kinds lia\ e shrunk and are still shrinking. We must further retrench— we must reform yet more. It is our impe ative duty to lighten the public burdens. Twenty years ago the taxable property iu Georgia was „ver five hundred millions of dollars. To-day it is a million and a quarter. With less than ' half the property, wo have nearly three times the taxation. With properly thus J ated id < ntinuinj; 1 lej ret iate a -.if las lone f r the las' two or three years, it is clear that our revenues will diminish in the same proportion, and our income will not meet our obligations. These obligations, gentlemen, are sacred. The interest on our debt, uow about eleven millions, must and will ’be paid, and our credit at any and every sacrifice must be maintained. The current expenses of the State government must be promptly met. Our charitable institutions ip. In this exigency we are driven to'two alternatives—retrenchment or in , reasc j x io . Ihe 1 ttei mi st be avoided, if possible. I invite your earnest attention to the former, and now engage that in alt methods which your experience and wi -dem may devise for saving the people from increased burdens, I will most cordially co-operate with you. Let us not wait for grand occasions, or for instances of prodigion: waste in which to begin our re forming economy. If we cannot save large sums, ict us sec io it that the smallest leaks, which are wasting the public treasure, if there b< e neb ill be st ed. In dearth and fioancts! pressure a? we are no a* ex periencing, a system embracing small economies is not to be despised or neglectc-d. Rigidly honest expenditure in the public administration, State policy demands. Rut, besides thi.-, i moral effect a ill In- secured by it. which will be of incalculable benefit. While we give the whole financial world the fullest guarantee of our;solveney by such a policy, we, at the same time, place before every household in the State an example worthy of all imitation. We rebuke, by this example, a wasteful. nd ostentations expend iture among our p<v pie. which us surely wrecks the substance and of the home as ,t destroys the more imposing structure called the public credit. The counties and municipalities of the State will catch the inspiration, and tv c will again ;ce the universal rule, and taxation never draw another dollar front the producers’ pocket to be wasted or misappropriated. Our work is before us. gentlemen, and a grand achievement is within our grasp. That work is the restoration of a vast heritage, which a sad fortune has solely wasted and damaged. It is to evoke a thousand splendid resources, now unutilized. It is to maintain the proudest and noblest tradiiions—an honor unsullied—the status of as worthy and respectable a constitu ency as exists, and its position by the side of the nos* advanced of commonwealths. This labor, vast as it is, exacts no impossible thing at our hands. With the blessing of Heaven and the agencies of clear and heads pure hearts, it may be accomplished. Again solemnly invoking the divine aid upon our efforts io serve our beloved Slate, 1 now take tltc oath of office The President of ,'he Senate then declared General A. H. Colquitt Governor of Georgia for the next four years. - - <**.• GOV. SMITH ON FEDERAL RELATIONS. Oar retiring Governor closes Lis mes sage with the following emphatic lan guage in relation to the present political complications: Before closing this, my last annual communication to tho General Assem bly. I cannot forbear a brief reference to tbo grave circumstances which now sur round us, and seem lo threaten the ex istence of the liberties of the people. On a given day, over eight millions of freemen, representing nearly forty five millions of people, came forth from - ■ .bluing places and quietly proceeded to the ballot box, for the purpose of choos ing their rulers for the next four years. Chi ■ grave proceeding was characterized by the utmost good order, notwithstand ing the pvesenco, in many places, of the military forces of the government, sent thither to overawe the we . and igno rant, and to secure the election of par ticutar candidates. The law pointed out the mode of selecting the President and Vice President of the United States. The question as to who should hit these high offices had been referred to the ballot box. The true result of that ref erence no candid mind can doubt. The election was held in pursuance of the laws of the United States and of the seveial States. Itwas peaceable and- j derly, and free from intimidation and vi olence. And yet. immediately after tho election, wo find a few adventurers, act ing under the direction of ambitious leaders at the Federal capital, and back ed by tho military forces of the govern ment, attempting, by fraud and chicane, to set aside the eminent statesmen chos en by the people, and to force into their places persons whom the people, after a fair trail, had refused to elect. The question arises here: Shall the candidates fairly and legally elected by the people be placed in office, or shall persons rejected at the ballot box be ele vated to power ? Shall law and order prevail, or shall fraud and violence have the mastery? Shall the people of the United States choose their own riders, or shall political cheats and swindlers be permitted to perform that vital office for them ? Wt have appealed to the bal lot box ; shall the result of this appeal stand, or shall it be- set aside by force and fraud ? If the latter, then our free institutions are already at an end, and constitutional liberty on tho American continent has received its final blow. The right of the people to choose their own rulers is the corner stone of a free Democratic republic; and when they voluntarily abdicate this invaluable privilege, or allow it to be wrenched from them, they have already obtained their own consent to become slaves. No more sacred cause can engage the patriotic efforts of a nation, than the firm maintenance of the fundamental right in all free Governments to say who shall rule over it. This right the people of Georgia and, I trust oi’ every other State in our Federal Union, will never willingly abandon. No division of the dirty spoils of ofiice, no promise of personal advancement, no engagement to withhold the iron hand of power can ever compensate the people for the surrender of a right at once so dear to themselves, so vital to the very exis tence of constitutional liberty. The people of .the United States are thus brought face to face with a most mo mentous responsibility. What shall be done? What shall we do ? The motto of our noble State furnishes the safe guide for our own action in tiiia solemn emer gency: ‘‘Wisdom, Justice, Moderation " It is not for us to lead, cr even to suggest, hut io follow. It is the plain duty of Congress, Ly adhering to law and estab lished precedent, to give effect to the clearly and legally expressed will of the people. But if Congress should, un happily, fail to do this, then it is believ ed that the proper determination of the grave questions now confronting us can, in the last resort, be safely left to the sober judgment of the right minded poo pie in the Northern States. If it can not, tiaeu wo are powerless, and they, as well as'cur selves, will have lost the it; estimable right of freemen —the right of Sfclf-govemmcv.it. When they shall have decided what is proper to bo done for rvation of tl 3 right, i but little to say that tire people of Geor gia will be found ready to co-operate with them, and to do their whole duty, under any and all circumstances. EILL ARP Oil THE SITUATION. Ton must excuse me, but it is impos sible to suppress myself altogether at this time. I feel like a little crow in’ will open the pores and help digestion, and do me good generally. And didn’t we lick ’em ; and did you say his name was Hayes ? And is he the man who said ho didn’t mind it himself, but his heart bled for the poor nigger ? Priests and Invites of Jericaho ! how much will he bleed ids pocket. Why, bless your soul, the nig ger is free. He can go to Ohio if ho wants to. We havn’t got 'em penned up If Hayes, or whatever his nm s, w ill cajl ’em, they’ll come. Atnd _t curious the darkies don’t go io ili.ar friends ? Ain’t it curious their .onus don’t come down to see th if they are soever lastin’ sorry ■ Maybe they are intimid ated. Tl truth is, Mr. YVattorson, them Radicals give the nigger suffrage to Lam ble us and out-vote us, but they never counted on it givin’ us 30 more votes in makin’ a President. The nigger voted for Hayes, if that’s his name, and elected Mr. Tilden. Hurray for the nigger. Next thing you hear of these Radicals will be tryin’ to take away his vote, or colonize him in some fun-in’ land. But it’s too late—the dog is dead. They may talk about intimidation aud countin' out and boldin’ on, but it can’t be did. Knaves don’t take kings in this game. They stocked the cards and had the shuffle and deal, and we won it, and the stakes wo arc bound to have. We’li fight on it, sur. Yes, sur ; if the worst comes to the worst we’ll whip ’em agin. Two hundred and fifty thousand major ity has settled this question. As Gen era! Gordon said : “Stand up, my conn trymen, stand up; don’t wilt nor wither;’’ we have met the enemy anti they are ours that is if we can keep ’em. I know they are as siickery as eels, but we must hold ’em The iji'u of the nation depends on it. Liberty and free speech and ha beas corpus are aii in peril. Four more years of Radical rule and this country will be as lifeless as an Egyptian mum my. They must not be allowed to steer the old ship any longer. Its agin natur. Its agin the law of .Moses, aud Revela lion, and the Shorter Catechism, and the long-meter doxology. My wife says if the fight must come, the women ought to take a hand this time, and site is ready to tare hair with old mother Hayes, if that's her name, or any other jpvoman who is mournin’ for the nigger. Mr. Watterson, sur, we have patiently bided our time. We saw this galorious event a cornin’. If it wasn’t a star in the East it was a roarin’ borealis in the North. Wo knovved there was justice and generosity in tho bosoms of North ern Democrats. For a long time we've been listenin’ to the rumblin’ thunder of their indignation. Ever and anon it has vibrated upon the air like the shake of a young earthquake, and we’ve lived in hope and defied despair until at last tho pent-up storm came down upon ’em like an Alpine avalanche, or a simoon in the desert, or a typhoon of the tropics, or a cvclone of tbe raging seas. Oh! it was terrible, terrible! Excuse me for growin’ eloquent, if you please, for it seems to me 1 still hear the mighty voices of three millions cf honest Democrats exclaimin’ with trumpet tongues, “Get out of these Augean stables and let us turn the Potomac in. The stencil of your corruption has overspread tlm land. Ye have made the rich rioner aud the poor poorer. Ye have smothered hon esty, garoted industry and sown discord among kindred. Yc have put your Southern brethren in a pit an 1 dyed their shirts in pokeberry juice, and called it blood to deceive the people, but like Joseph of old, they will vet be put in power and save the land from ruin and destruction. J oseph a brethren repent ed in tears and sorrow, but ye will not re pent. They did not steal his silver cup, but ye will steal and carry away in your carpet-bags not only the cups, but the saucers and the spoons. ” Why, sur, the first official advertise ment Mr. Tilden wiR put into the Wash ington paper will be fixin’ a day of thanksgiven’, and callin’ for eefo. i pro posals for a penitentiary big enough to accommodate 30,000 Radical theivos w ho have stolen a thousand million of dollars from- the national treasury. Mr. Watterson, sur, Uncle Sammy Til den is going to take his seat in that cheer —if ho lives. There’s doubts about a heap of things in this subloonary world, but there ain't no doubt about that. Let ’em rip and roar and snort and cavort like a dyin’ aligator if they want to. but Mol. Y.-No. 30. my private opinion is a heap of ’em had better be marshallin’ their assets for trasportation to some iun-in and un known clime. Intimidation! Or. my j country ! A? iazin impudence l Who hat j been intimidated for the last ten years ? Haven’t they kept us under bayonets all the lime ? Haven’t they divided the army about half-and-half between us and the Injuas ? Let 'em hunt for in timidation nearer home. Why, sur, there was thousands of humble Demo crats in Ohio and Pennsylvania who wanted to vote for Mv. Tilden, but their bread and meat depended oh not doing it- How about all the ■■ >Tkm nin the shops, mills, factories, that belonged to the Radical;-; who made iin.iv bio.; foil i n-- tunes out of the late war • There was no intimidation of course, bat i.im boss call- them all up and a : “You vote us you please, but if you don’t vote for Hayes (didn't you say that was his r a:m\) you can come to the eapbdn ofdoe and settle, and get your wr,ikin' papers. ' The tiuth is, Mr. Walterson, those Radical cowards hate been afraid of us so long that tb-y have got intimidation on the brain. Ben Butler was invited to go to Now Orleans to help count, but lit; . idn’t go: ho replied by it pv.ph— "Great spoons ! I can’t go. I .feel in timidated.” Now the worst case I have heard of is Jack Allen’s. Ho had three I hundred negroes on Lis sugar plantation, j and bein’ p nod for labor he offered every d-V .ey who stayed at Lome an ,x --trado ..r in silver, anti they stay id. The shine ci the coin intimidated 'em, and -o Louisiana is to be sot down for—did you say his name was Hayes ? Ni . forth otb v side of the picture. These Radical rascals made the poor nig gers believe that if Mr. Tilden was elect ed they would all be put on the block and sold into slavery. They were made to believe a lie and put in fear of losin’ their liberty, and that wasn’t intimida tion was it 1 Why. sur, in the last ton days 17 of ’em have axed me io buy ’em wncu the sale comes oil, but I’m af erd to do it. They lmvo follered these Rad icals so long I’m afeerd they would steal everything I’ve got. Sur, if there was some high and mighty arbiter of these issues who would speak to ns from the clouds—some great and supreme judge a settiu’ on the top most peak of the Rocky mountains a lookin’ down with majestic wisdom upon this bedeviled and bewildered Lind, he would throw out every nigger vote that such intimidation carried to Hayes, which they say is his name. Bur, the intimidation was all on the other side. Even the carpet baggers and scalawags who roost around us like buzzards watch in’ a sick horse, would have voted for Uncle Bern if they hadn’t be#n af< rd if loosin’ ir offie were intimidated, and now they are la men tin’ they didn’t do like Saru Bard, and flee from the wrath to come before it was too late, and make themselves unanimous. Sur, I know that ail of us, move or less, ere livin’ under a measure ol intim idation. The fear of the la-:;, the fear of society, the fear of the devil, or some other fear keeps us all intimidated. There are some men I would lick if I wasn’t ufeared they would lick mo.— There’s mighty few men living in a state of perfect freedom. Our domestic and commercial relations give the lie to it every day. You know Low it is your self; but are all these relations to be busted up on that account ? No sur— by no means. A reasonable quantity of intimidation is a wholesome thing for beast and man. No, let ’em count us out if they dare to. I know they can beat tho almanac and the multiplication’ table and the devil himself on a count when they want to. Their only chance to get out of his kingdom whan he gets, ’em is to fool him on the count some evening at dress parade. But we’ve got some long heads a watchin’ of ’em. and they’ll be caught at their rascality. Joe Brow; and Bam Bard have gone to Florida, and Toe is a whale. He’s some on a count himself. He’s counted votes before, and imint for got the lick. Whether he learned from Bullock or Bmlock learned from him J don’t, know -, but Joe didn’t jine Gideon’s band for nothing. • He slipped in aud glided out just as easy, and nobody knew when it was done. Sam Bard doesn’t do that wav. He tumbles in ami tumbles out with a regular sommerset, and makes as much noise in doin’ it as a school boy jumpin’ into a mill pond. But Joseph is all right now, and our folks are bettin’ on him. One thing is shore and certain—wo are not going to. have that other feller to rule over us—and did you say his name was Hayes ? Yours jubilantly, Bru, Arp. At a recent Nunday-school reunion the surperintendent proposed* that they form a lino and march to the song, “Hold the Fort.” Accordingly the line v.-u-s formed with Deacon L. at tbe bead. All went beautiful until they came to the second verse: “See the might, host advancing, Satan leading on,” when they were all so impressed with the exceeding appropriateness of tbo thing, that singing, marching, decorum and all solemn feelings were knocked in to pi by a general roar of laughter at the expense of Deacon B. ♦££* The National Democratict Committee will probably not favor any unusual par tv demonstrations ut this time. From the Index and Baptist.] OOSN-PIBLD PREACHER L From fiio spirit of the times, and the - cm : tendency of things, it appears .hat corn-held preachers are fast giv- Ir.g an ay to those who are unwilling to do anything for a living outside of the ministry, if we look at this in its true light, we see that if there are none to preach except these who devote all their lime to the work, there will bo many churches without pastors, and many preachers without churches. I think the plan followed by many good preachers and live churches is very good: the church pays what it can ; and tbo preacher preaches some, and plows some, and thus he lives very well wnl tlie churches arc not money rais ing. The idea that a preacher must not work at all, but study all the time, is erroneous, and leads many young preacher: in the wrong way. I honestly believe that some of the best sermons that havo ever been preached, were studied up between the plow-handles, when tho sky was blue and the fields green, and the birds singing sweetly in the forest, when all nature seemed favorable for study. Under such in fluences the preacher is able to preach soundly and vigorously, not feebly and spiritless. Again, I see that those country preachers baptize more than others; ; hoy have less trouble in their churches ami fewer exclusions, aud very few departures from tho faith; but few agents visil them, and but few things are said about them in tho papers, yet they are busy at work, praying, and 1 tidying, and toiling, aud thinking of a, La:.; 1 of Rest and of the redeemed tin ,n., that will bo there, and of the love t) o> have for Jesus. Labor makes t swud here, and they love to labor for Cod. Many of these men are better educated than many are willing to admit; real self-made men, able to comp: ..fiend tho truths of the Bible aud they hold to them, not running off aft, r the whims, isms and notions of tho day. i'liey arc not “open conimu liionistV’but hold on to the truo priu. ciples of the Gospel. My memory takes me back to tho day that sire pleasant to remember, when these old-fashioned preachers were more common than now, I well remember their interest and zeal for their churches. I love them now, though they are long since dead and gone, and I am glad that we have some of the same sort still left, who, like them are ever laboring to be of some U3o to those with whom they live. HYDROPHOBIA'S HORRORS. Albert Klomp, of Jersey City, was bit ton by a Spitz dog some days ago. YouiiV, Klomp frequently said that ho was not well’ and one Sunday morning experienced a constantly increasing dif ficulty in breathing. When ho began vo eat and dlink ho swallowed laboredly. At midnight a spasm shook him violent ly. His mouth began to fill with saliva almost as white and thick as cotton. This ho spat in every direction so strongly that it reached the ceiling and Em walls. In tho endeavor to clear his ng saliva ho uttered sound • that to hi horror stricken rela tive; seemed like the growl of a small . -•E l,; the t.nat of a faro cions dog, and at four o’clock on Mon day afternoon he died. “Young Klomp,” said Dr. Gilman, “died hydrophobia. When I first with itreat difficul- Sftliva, resulting Eon the E lurking effect of the hydro phobic poison upon the nervation of tho mouth, called oat that tho doors must be kept shut, and had spasms closely following each other. Excepting when raked by a spasm, ho was conscious. He . no fever. His pulse was settled at 150, and In perspired so as to moisten hfo clothing. As soon as we learned that ho had be in bitten by a dog, we de cided to use woorara. Wo injected it beneath the skin of tne loft arm. At once lie said he felt, better. Mo repeat ed tho injection, and he said that he felt still more improved. Had ho been a lad of much vital force, and had the woorara been injected in season, it is probable that ho might have lived. But lie was of slight build—unusually slight for his age—and of little force. There fore the racking of the spasms soon ex hausted what he had. TO KILL A TOWN, To kill a town in two years, closely and promptly ob,servo the following rules : Ist, Rut, up no more buildings than von are obliged to occupy yourself. 2d If you should have an empty building to rent demand three times its value. 3d. Look sour at every new comer and give tho cold shoulder to every merchant or merebanic who desires to come among you. Go abroad for your goods and wares; by no means purchase from vonr own own merchants and manufac turers even at the same price or less. sth. Don’t contribute one cent to the cause of religion or education. Finally, put a thorough finish to your work of vandalism by killing your local newspapers, by refusing to subscribe or advertise, so that persons at a distance will not know that any business is lining clone in your town. Death of Mr. F. Bowmen Phinizy.— At last this estimable young merchant has departed. He died last week, aft< r an illness of ten days, of typhoid pneu monia, at his residence in this city.
