loe’s Island, which was unveiled
with such grand ceremonies two
weeks ago. has not been lighted for

ness for lack of fund-. Govern
ment has no funds available for
lighting the goddess, though over a
million dollars were spent in its
erection, unveiling and enthusiasm.

Considerable oi-tuss on is going
on in ihe Protestant Episcopal
Church on the proposition of a la ge
faction in t e church to change its
name to the Catholic Church of

Cause alarm aim its opponents.

one of the most noted Episcopalian
clergymen opposes the change and
preached a sermon recently in which

ca c dated to re ult in great harm to

PRISON REFORM.
The .National Prison Congress has
been in session in Atlanta during
the week and is attended by
a Jarge number of very Quotable
people and officers of prisons
in the country. The object
of the Congress is to effect a reform
in the treatment of the unfortunate?
who may be consigned to imprison
ment so that when they leave pris
on there will he moie likelihood of
their returning to a life of useful
ness than of continuing in the
course that caused their downfall.
There is no doubt that great go id
would resi.lt by rectifying the
abuses that are practiced in sotm
prisons, and the first step towards
establishing a reform would be to
get rid of some the brutal keepers,
who are ofte > as great criminals as
t.ie prisoners, though not convicted.
If the Congress shall by its deliber
ations succeed in creating a public
sentiment which while demanding
the ste m punishment according io
law of all offenders, will at the same
time have it done in a spirit of hu
manity, its labors will not have
been in vain.
INA UG ERA TION OF GOVERN
OR GORDON.
On Tuesday last the 9th ii stant
the new < hiel Executive of Georgia
was inaugurated. The Genetai As
sembly met in joint session for the
purpose in accordance with the cus
tom for such an occasion. General
Gordon was escorted into the hall
bv a number of distinguished ge i
tlemen, Among the noted persons
present were ex-President R. B.
H lyas, Senators Brown and Col
quitt, and Prof. Whaley of Yale,
• x -Lieutenant Governor of Connec
ticut. The oath of office was admin
istered by Chief Justice Jackson
who handed him the great seal of
the State. The Governors inaugu
ral was delivered in his usual elo
quent style, its main features being
a strong plea for the State Rights
doctrine, while conceding the ne
cessity for a strong national govern
in'. Lt, nod th <t“our independence as
a ti it ion has become so surely es-
tablished that with a permanent
union between the States and a
general concord among the people,
all the combined powers of the
earth could scarcely compass our
national destruction. There is not
upon this globe a civilized people
among whom the American Repub
lic is not known and esteemed.
There is not a civilized nation
where her power and influence is
not felt and respected. There is
not a corner cf the earth on land or
sea, where the flag of this mighty
nation is not potential to protect the
rights and red re-s the wrongs of its
humblest citizen, yet the tendency
and growing sentiment for a
stronger central government was to
be viewed with alarm as tending to
the abso ption of the States.” The
Governor concluded his address in
the following language:
“To aid them in preparing the
States for the still broader and
more general duties of the future
becomes a commanding obligation
upon all patriotic citizens. Yield
ing to the Federal government the
most loyal devoiion; earnestly sup
porting it in all its constitutional
vigor as the “sheet anchor” of peace
and safety, let Georgians resolve
that this State at least shall be pre
pared for whatever the future may
have in store for it. Let the broad
est and most practical education of
her children bean object of univer
sal concern. Let her rich mental
capabilities, her varied mineral and
manufacturing resources and all her
transportation facilities be assidu
ously developed. Let her agricul
ture, which is the foundation of her
prosperity and upon which < e >ends
tier pr< gress, in every direction be
an ouject, of peculiar and absorbing
interest, and be encouraged and
promoted by every legitimate sup
port. Let tier high credit be sus
tained at its present honorable and
enviable standard. Let the most
capable of her sons realize that in
i he service of their State, in making
her laws, shaping her policits and
advancing her material interests,
are great honors and fertile fields
fur usefulness. Let the wise care of
her Christian charities, and the re
torraa ion of her prisons and the
-till higher elevation of pu die
morals enhance the just pride and
augment the self-respect of her
people and add new glories to the
already splendid history of oi r b< -
loved State.
