NO. 277
VERNOR HOUSTON’S
ugurAl AcftcftrosB.
Citizen*:—lu obedience to A
established cue tom, I appear before
yon to-day to take, in roar presence, the
oftafttl oath prescribed by the Conatitu-
flk of the State of Alabama for her chief
itajlltive officer, and to assnme the high
1D& respouhible dntiea of the exalted sta
tion, to which I have been ealled by the
Toiee of her people.
Notwithstanding the years of expert-
enoe in the public service, through which
<* v.. boeu U1 ^ f ortuue to p a88< f am f tee
to eon fens more than mere distrust of my
own ability, to discharge the many grave
and responsible duties of the offioe iuto
which I am now to be inducted. But
a firm determination to respeot and
ntain uiy oath of office, which shall bo
a1 to iny conscience, I unhesitatingly
deriske to perform such duties as it
poses, and I will regard it as one of my
gbest and most sacred obligations to
e that the laws “are faithfully executed"
nd the rigbtH of all citizens, “without
egard to race, color, or previous condi
tion," duly guarded and protected.
Let this occasion inspiro the conviction
that we live in a land of liberty, regulated
by law, without which the citizon would
have no security against domestic discord
or violence; and that our duty to pre
serve such laws, in their coustutional pu
rity and power, should not and cannot be
voided.
We have just passed through an aotive
ud intensely earnest political contest;
d while it is both an honor and a pleas-
e to me to congratulate you and tho
tin try upon the glorions and decisive
ctory achieved by iht good and true
oplo of this once more proud and noble
ate, yet in our congratulations and re-
icing we should be coutrolled by a wise
d patriotic sense of duty, both to the
untry at large and odr own immediate
llow-citizens.
Let us dismiss from our thoughts and
orget whatever acrimonies thero may
ave been engendered by tho severe con-
ict in which we have b^n so recently
engaged, and draw from it only lessons
of moderation and wisdom, which shall
be exercised for the improvement of tho
resent and for our guiaunce in the fa
re. We should understand our viotory,
id so employ it as to profit br its re
sult#. Our rejoicing should not be alone
.because of a triumph over a defeated ad-
A Ternary, but also because of the success of
l those great principles whioh we believe
" essential to the successful administration
of good government: and in the day of
our gladness we rnuut not forget our obliga
tions and responsibilities to the gtate, im-
►sod upon us by our suooess.
Alabama is embarrassed—her indebted-
great, and her people are itupov-
trished. Time will be neoesB&ry to cor-
ect errors in the past and establish con-
deuce in tho future. We must restore
ie credit of the State to its former high
td honorable position—preserve invio-
b her good faith, and at the same time
itect her people against excessive, un-
t and improper taxation. Wise legis-
ition ia required to aocompliah these
rads.
The expenses of tho administration of
inr State Government should be reduced
such nude and to such
as the wisdom of the legisla-
, iu view of proper ocouomy,
may suggest. We will not have dis
charged the high trust committed to us
by the people, if we fail to abolish every
uuuecessary office and prevent every uu
necessary expense.
All the departments of the State Gov
ernment are now to be placed in our
bauds, uud it is eminently our duty to
correct abuses, and introduce those uoc-
essary reforms, which, while they will
give greater efficiency to the administra
tion of tho State Government, will at the
same time curtail its expenses.
To you, Senators and gentlomen of the
House of Representatives, the country
will rightfully look, and I trust not in
vain, for that just and wise legislation
without which tho great interests of the
State and her people will languish and
ocotne paralyzed. Such laws faithfully
nd properly enforced oumuiand the re
peat and confidence of the people, and
ve assurance that security and protec-
ion are to be afforded to all classes of
nr. citizens.
In tho attainment of these desirable
nds I will regard it as my duty, as it will
: my pleasure, cordially to oo-operate
th tho .Legislative department of the
te Government. In our complex sys-
m of Government, Federal and State,
soineliineH occurs that powers not
anted by the Constitution are claimed
d exercised. Now, while it is not my
purpose on this oooasion to discuss ques
tions of Federal policy, or authority, yet
bh powers destructive of the liberties of
the people, have been claimed and exer
cised by ttio use of the bayonet in a time
of profound peace, I trust I may express
the confident hope, that as one of the
fruits of the recent political revolution,
our State has escaped the dangers that
seemed to threaten her existence as a
State of our common Union. We may
certainly hope that by a proper and just
administration of her State Government,
avoiding on our part any olaim of power
to which we are not clearly entitled thus
giving no pretence for snob dangerous
usurpation, Alabama may not in the
future have cause of apprehension, or
rounds of somplaint in this regard.
The preservation of the just rights of
e States, as well as those of the Federal
'vornment, is, iu my judgment, essen-
1 to iho maintenance of our Repuhli-
n system of Constitutional Goveru-
ent; and every departure from these
Inoiples, established by our fathers,
aliens the faith of the patriot and ex-
tes the fears of every friend of Amen-
n freedom.
Alabama iH destined, at a day not dis-
nt in the future, to beoome one of the
ost prosperous and wealthy States of
o grand sisterhood. She has uncounted
illions of wealth embedded in her
ountains and her valleys, as well as in
er agricultural fields of unsurpassed fer
tility, producing every variety of crop
known lo this lutitnde. The commer
cial, mechunioul aud other interests of
her citizens w ill, it is hoped, speedily
emerge from the depression that has for a
time retarded their prosperity.
Manufactories of all kinds are gradually
building up in all parts of the State,
which, turuing to aceoont this mineral
wealth and increasing the value of our ag
ricultural productions, must rapidly ad
vance tho State of Alabama to that high
rank among tho States to whioh her
vast natural advantages entitle her.
Immigration and capital are necessary
aids in the development of these different
interests. These aids may be invited and
encouraged by such prudent and wise leg
islation as will give just assurance that
Tho diffhsion of knowledge amongst
tho people promotes their prosperity and
happiness, os well ns'the success of tho
Government. The more universal end
thorough their education tho wiser and
more permanent will bo the Government.
Wo should therefore give such encourage
ment to Iho education of the children of
our State as may be consistent with her
other duties aud obligations.
Governments are wdde by the peop’e
to secure their happiness aud to protect
their rights, and it is the duty, of thoso
who may be selected,to administer them,
to do so with reference to tho attainment
of theso ends. So far as it may be in my
power as the Governor of the Stale of
Alabama, I hhail regard it as a sacred du
ty unceasingly, to use all proper means
for the accomplishment of these grand
purposes.
“With malice towards none, and Chari
ty for all," the citizens of Alabama truly
desire poaco and a perfect restoration of
fraterual relations betweon all sections of
our ooimuon country. They are loyal to
the Government of tho United States,and
will readily yield n cheerful obedience to
its authority aud laws: they only ask to
be permitted, under the Constitution and
laws of tho country, to exercise, secure
from unwarrantable interference, the
riulit of governing themselves at borne by
n jnst and wisely exercised right of local
self-government.
Fellow-citizens, I have thus briefly and
imperfectly indicated tho line of policy
which I, as tho chief Executive officer of
the State, will fee! it my duty to pursue
in the administration of tho Stato govern
ment.
It only remains for mo to reassure you
of my unalterable purpose firmly and
faithfully to discharge my duty towards
all the peoplo of the State; invoking in
this behalf the aid of au Allwise and kind
Providence.

Important Railroad Invention.
We learn that Messrs. W. C. Shearer &

railroad brake, which was tried on tho
Central Railroad a short time since, with
entire satisfaction. The Superintendent
of tho car works and the Maxtor Machin
ist were on tho trial trip made by a train
of two cars, and running at tho rate of
thirty miles an hour. At this speed the
application of the brake brought the train
to a stop in twenty-live seconds. It is
stated that a train of four or five cars
running at tho same rato of speed could
be stopped in from fifteen to eighteen
seconds. This brake, it is claimed by
the inventors, can be put on a car or eu-
gine for one-third the prioe of others, aud
can bo used at all times or at all stations.

Tuscumbxa, Ala., November 25.—The
storm Sunday evening was most disas
trous in its effect upon the surroundiug
oountry. Houses were unroofed, aud
fences blown down in every direction.
Large trees were torn from the gronud
and carried away many yard*, crushing
cabins and outhouses as they went. Af
ter the tornado left Tuscuinbia, it seemed
to huvo spent its force or risen above tho
honaewf then having apparently gained
uew strength, it came down upon tho farm
of Renj. Wilson, six miles from here, and
totally destroyed his residence, corn crib
aud gin house. It then passed up the
at ream known as Pond creek levelling
thousand* of forest trees. Some
miles further on tho farm houses and out
buildings of Wilkes Davidson, a well
kuow’ii citizen, were destroyed, as was
also the houso of Ira Jarman, an exten
sive farmer. Scores of negro oabins
were blown down, and two black men
killed. Several otheis were slightly
wounded.
The loss to Tuscumbia ia fully as much
as at first reported. Among the property
destroyed was two grist mills, which sup
plied the town with meal, and the want
of this article of food is beginning to be
seriously felt. Many of the houses that
were not blown entirely down have been
rendered unfit for habitation, and nearly
every building iu the place has been more
or less damaged. Provisions are giving
out.
Tho train which went over tho embauk-
rneut, at Spring creek, on the night of
the storm remains iu the samo position.
The broken bridge cannot be ropaired
for several days, aud all trains from Mem
phis are delayed several hours.
ilio baggage master and fireman who
went over tho embankment with the train
are now out of danger, but the condition
of the engineer iH critical.
All those who were wounded by the fall
ing buildings are doing well. Many of
the buildings which remain standing prove
upon examination to be in an unsafe con
dition, and several of thorn will have to
bo torn down.
Mayor Havemeyer, of New York, re
ceived a dispatch from the Mayor of Tns-
cumbia, yosterday, appealing for help for
tho destitute of that town. Havemeyer
promises to forward all subscriptions.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC B. B.
COMPLETED MILES, .*113 ; TO DUILD 1,(100—
GOVERNMENT ENDORSEMENT ASKED.
Washington, November 25.—Col. Thos.
A. Hcott, President of the Peunsylvania
Hailroad, was here to-day consulting with
Congressmen about a measure which it is
proposed to introduce at its coming' ses-
tiiou, to aid in completing the construc
tion of the Texas Pacific Hailroad. Col.
Scott says OUi miles of road have been
built, and 1,000 to build in order to reach
tho Pacific const. The bill whioh will
probably be offerod to Congress provides
that tho Government shall guarantee a
payment of interest on $70,000,000 of the
company’s bonds. To seouro the Gov
ernment against loss, the company pro
pose to give the first mortgage upon
the road and all its branches, rolling stock,
lands, etc. The bonds are to be forty
years, at five per cent, interest, payable
in gold. The bill provides that they be
issued to the company at tho rate of thir-
ty-fivo thousand dollars per mile, for all
except that part which crosses the
mountain, where it will be forty
thousand dollars per mile, upon
completion by tho company and accep
tance by the Government, upon eaoh sec
tion of twenty-miles. It is the opinion
of Col. Scott, that should Congress agree
to the pioposition of the company, the
Government never would be called upon
to pay a dollar of tho interest. Iu his
judgment, tho road, when built, would
not only bo self-sustaining, but would
soon earn money for its stockholders.
THE WEATHER.
Washington, Nov. 25.—Probabilities.—
For the South Atlantic States cool and
generally clear weather will prevail, with
north or west winds and a slight change
in the barometer. •
For tho Gulf States, Tennessee and
Ohio valley clear and fair woathor, vari
able winds backing to west and south,
slowly rising temperature and stationary
or falling barometer.
—Alexander U. Stephens called ou tho
President Monday to pay his respects, as
it has been hi* custom to do during his
membership of tho House. He was re
ceived most cordially by the President,
who detuiued him for some time iu friend
ly cun vernation. In regard to the organi
