as follows:
Robt. H. Chambers, Gwiunett county,
retailing spirituous liquors; sentenced to
three months. Pardoned because he had
already been confined five months before
trial, and his health had betn so impaired
in jail as to render him unable to labor.
John Keagh, convicted of vagrancy in
8umter county. Pardoned because he is a
citizen of Wilkes county with sutfleient
property to support himself, and being of
unsound mind he had wandered off in
.Sumtercouuty and been convicted before
his whereabouts were ascertained by his
friends. These facts were unknown to the
judge upon his trial.
Themas Lyman, convicted in 1871, in
Cobb county, of assault with intent to
murder; the evidence showed that while
technically guilty there was no express
malice, and the injury to the party assault
ed was very slight. He had bee.i imprisoned
five years, and the party assaulted with
.many others had joined in the petition for
his pardon.
R. F. Whidden, convicted of larceny :
Usabilities removed because of youth and
subsequent good conduct.
Mary PuckeLt, convicted of arson in
Walton county in 187(i; pardoned because
shBGiad Served at hard labor for ten years.

Inaugural Pro erf dim,--.
At 12 o’clock the senate entered the

journal providing for the joint session and
inaugural ceremonies were read.

nounced the presence of the joint cprnmit-
tee and the governor-elect, the gallant
-John B. Gordon. They entered. Governor
AJordon upon the arin of the chairman of
the senate committee, Governor McDaniel
upon the arm of the chairman of the house
-committee, and the others in accordance
with the programme already published.
The inaugural ceremonies were begun
with prayer by Rev. John Jones, chaplain
of the senate, in which he eloquently
asked the blessing and guidance of God
upon the new administration. The presi
dent of the senate introduced the Hon.
John B. Gordon, who spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
Friends and Fellow-citizens: The constitu
tion of Georgia rightfully declares that
“public officers are the trustees and serv
ants of the people.” Custom, which has
ripened into an unwritten law, requires a
brief address from me, as one of these
servants at the inauguration of this new
administration. Called ■ by the people to
act as chief executive of this state forAhe
two ensuing years, I submit some thoughts
which seem to me worthy the most serious
consideration.
Tlie discussion will be confined mainly
to one suggestion, both because of its per
tinence and its commanding importanoe.
That suggestion is this: The time has
come in our progress as a nation when
greater interest should be centered in the
state governments. My belief is that in
the not remote future there are grave
problems confronting us which will sub
ject to the severest test our American
svstem. My object will be to point out
some of these dangers and to suggest that
our greatest safety lies in the earnest sup
port and upbuilding of our state govern
ments.
In the early history of the republic,
federal and not state government was
necessarily the object of supi erne popular
concern. At that period the question was
one of national existence. The federal
government at that time required the best
services which the combined statesman
ship of the country could furnish
in order to insure our stability as an inde
pendent nation. At that time the federal
government ueeded to be strengthened m
the affections and esteem of the American
people, as well as in the confidence and
respect of other nations. At that time the
federal government required the command
of the country’s resources—its mind and
muscle, its commerce and its revenues. At
that time a liberal construction of all dele
gated powers was essential in order to
make the federal government what
Jefferson termed it, “The sheet anchor
of our peace at home _ and safety
abroad.” But happily there is no longer
any room for concern as to tiie stability
and power of that government. Our inde
pendence as a nation lias become so se
curely established that with a permanent
union between the states and a general
concord among the people, all the com
bined powers of the earth could scarcely
compass our national destruction. There
is not upon this globe a civilized people
among whom the American republic is
not known and esteemed. There is not a
civilized nation where her power and in
fluence are not fell and respected. There
is not a corner of the earth, on land or sea,
where the flag of this mighty nation is not
potential to protect the rights and redress
tion’s good, os we trust, those sectional
dissensions which wertT Inevitable from
dissimilar and conflicting institutions
Providentially established on this conti
nent. From political contusion, angry
controversies and bloody conflicts have
coinn l national union more enduring,
Bvury I,noughtful citizen in all tils coun
try rauai reuliz. : hat the federal govern
ment has not only been preserved in all
i'.s constitutional vig r us the “sheet
anohor of our puacu at home and safety
abroad,”, but has been aeeordod powers
not originally designed in the fetruuturo of
the government. So that I he essentials of
national safety as avowed by Jefferson I
have been more than realized.
But 1 invoke you to remember that Mr.
Jefferson proclaimed at the same time an
other truth no less essential to free gov- •
erument in this country. That truth was
that “the surest bulwark against anti- 1
republican tendencies is the support of the
state governments in all their rights.” I
This support of the states involves no dis
loyalty to the general government or to
any of its rights. There is no where in !
this republic either disloyal citizens or dis- !
loyal sentiments. But everywhere all |
hearts, voices and arms are ready for the |
preservation of the general government in I
all its constitutional vigor as the pledge of j
osr peace and safety. But the time has
some when all patriotic hearts and voices !
should also unite to support the states in j
all their rights. The necessity has arisen
for q.ectiug some "bulwark against anti- j
republican tendencies.” This foundation |
doctrine proclaimed by Jefferson calls now, j
and calls imperatively, for renewed inter- j
ost in all the state governments.
As long as national existence was a ques
tion; ns long as civil war threatened dis
memberment; as long as the status of a
newly emancipated race was undeter- |
mined; so long might necessity be pleaded !
as reason for abatement of special interest '
in the states, and for increasing solicitude j
for the federal government, and possibly I
for supporting it, if need be, by action 1
“outside tha constitution.” But, as has 1
already been shown, these considerations
have no longer weight or pertinence, and I
cannot be used as plausible arguments for
still further increase of federal power. 1 !
repeat that, for the defense against the I
outside world, our nation is sinfply omni- I
potent; that our union is to- be as lasting as '
time, and that race freedom among us ,
is everywhere established and defended. '
There is no room for apprehension, there- ■
fore, that the genernl government will j
ever lose its constitutional vigor or power j
of self-preservation. The danger is that I
the states may lose theirs—not by speedy, i
sudden or violent revolution and usurpa- '
tion, but by gradual accretions to federal j
power and imperceptible absorption of |
state factions.
An illustration of this danger is furnished
in the fact that under the “general wel- j
fare” clause of the federal constitution, ,
legislation has been attempted and a con
struction given which was never contem- !
plated by the'framers of that sacred instru
ment.
Another illustration is found in the his- !
torical fact that the momentous events of j
our recent hiatory have served to dwarf, !
in the estimation of the people, the im- j
portance of the states, which originally or- |
dnined that government.
Still another illustration may be seen in |
the transparent purpose of certain leaders j
of public opinion to curtail the legitimate '
congressional representation ,of some of
the states upon tine unjust and untruthful
assumption that large bodies of citizens !
are debarred the right and freedom of the j
elective franchise.
But an infinitely greater danger to the ;
future is yet to be mentioned. The great
est of alt dangers lurks in the silent but j
certain growth of a sentiment for stronger
central government. It is a sentiment
which not only acquiesces in the diminu
tion of state powers, but demands a strong
er and yet stronger government at, Wash
ington in proportion to our material ad- |
vancement; the multiplication of states;
the increase of population and the birth of
new and perplexing problems.
The danger from this sentiment is in- j
creased by the very plausibility of the de- !
mand. The conviction that the mostseri- j
ous issues confront us will be fixed and
deepened by a thoughtful contemplation i
of our future.
There are those who hoar me whose '
children will see this great country with l
perhaps half a hundred states and two !
hundred millions qf people. Upon its j
vast domain, densely populated, will
spring multiplied industries, with diverse i
claims and conflicting interests. The Pacific j
states, the Atlantic states, the gulf states, j
the middle states, the eastern states and |
tlie great west will demand through their |
respective representatives i and with in- I
creased earnestness, legislation at Wash- |
ington friendly to their respective inter- |
ests and consonant with their varied ,
theories. Great social, economic and class
problems, which even now fill with anxious '
forebodings the patriotic and thoughtful
mind of the country, will press forsolution
with resistless urgency.
These dangers, I repeat, are not remote. |
Already moving in the womb of our imine- ;
diate future are giant problems struggling
for birth ami throbbing with a life and
vigor prophetic of impending peril. Al
ready has this young republic, stretching I
her maternal arms to welcome the op- |
pressed of every nation, found clasped to
her bosom that socialistic spirit which has j
cursed other nations with discord, blood- ;
shed and Are. Already can we lay our fin
gers upon the pulse of tlie coming century
and feel the swelling current rushing j
ihvough its distended veins and gathering j
momentum with each passing decarle. !
Into that century’s life is to be gathered \
the mingled Wood of the two hundred mil
lions of people representing all the races,
all the colors, all the zones, all tlie counter I
currents of thought and conflicting creeds, j
interests, purposes and theories of govern- ■
ment.
It is neither patriotic nor prudent to
ignore these future dangers and trust to i
temporary devices when the emergencies j
are upon iis. The wise man seeth the evil
and provideth against it. Prescience and '
prudence are potent factors in securing j
success in the ordinary affairs of life. They !
are rudimental in that most difficult of
human undertakings—the science of free j
government. j
It is but natural, therefore, that thought
ful men should lie profoundly concerned |
about the future of this republic, Per- |
haps it is also natural that some minds
should turn to the strong arm of federal;
power for protection against these eon- I
tein plated dangers. And if the problem |
were narrowed to the simple duty oi en- |
forcing the public peace, protecting pri- ■
rate property and preserving the national ;
life -the ready solution would he found in ,
a vigorous, consolidated, central adminis- |
tration. It would, perhaps, be a task of
easy accomplishment should the people ,
consent thereto to govern this country for j
100 or ‘200 years to come, as England i
governs Ireland or Russia governs Poland, j
But that is not the problem before us. In |
our effort to preserve peace, properly, and i
national life, are also involved the integri-
tv of states, the life of the republic, and |
the existence of citizen freedom. The work ■
before us in the future is the most stupen
dous task ever imposed upon the states
manship of any age. It is to save liberty ,
and yet govern a country with two hun- ■
dred millions of people; with its vast area; j
with its varied needs and conflicting de- |
mauds; with its capital to protect and its
Inbor to encourage; with its socialistic
problems to solve, and yet to leave its citi
zens free; with its gigantic corporations
and mammoth monopolies measuring arms
with the people themselves—in a word It
is to survive the certain perils of the future
and still to live after them at once a united
nation and vet a republic of states, sover
eign ,in their spheres, independent, equal
aud free.
This, I repeat, is the great problem of
our futuru—to secure stability amidst new
and great perils and yet have liberty. Two
roads are open, one toward centralization,
tlie other toward local adjustments. Which
will you take? The one or the other will
be cnosen bv the people, and must be
chosen quickly.
Let it be again ndmitted in the argument
that the plan of increased central power at
Washington would give stable government,
vigorous social institutions aud public or
der. But let it also be remembered that
these are less than half I Ik: blessings prom
ised by the founders of this republic: Sta
bility is essential, but stability through
progressive accretions to federal power, os
exigencies arise, numt end al last in abso
lutism or centralization. Stability thus
secured is.tbe death ol our duplex system.
It is the destruction of state independence.
It is tlie doom of free government in
America. There is one way, and one way
only, to secure in .our momentous
future both stability and liberty. That
way is to depend, as perils increase, more
and more up m ltic status mid to trust more
to local adjustment. Whatever may have
been the wisest policy in the past, it is cer
tain, I think, that in the future our great
est. safety, progress, permanence and free
dom lie in tile direction of enlarged local
administration. Tlie frees* government
is that which is controlled by homogeneous
communities; and the strongest govern
ment for u. country like ours is that which
devolves upon states the largest responsi
bilities. As population becomes dense; as
industries multiply; us interests conflict; us
creeds clash and the discord of jarring
theories increases over this widely extend
ed country, the more and more difficult
will become the problem of government
through central administration at Wash
ington; and the greater will bo tho necessi
ty for entrusting to the states all questions
with which they may constitutionally deal.
Such a policy as I have sought to indi
cate would make stronger instead of weak
er the general government in the confi
dence and affections of the people. It
would aid the solution of problems, which
the general government can never solve to
the satisfaction of communities with con
flicting interests. It would make secure
forever the rights of the smaller and weak-.
er states. It would make Rhode Island as
secure as Texas, Connecticut as Ohio, Flor
ida as Now York.
Nor do the increased duties,which would
thus devolve upon the local governments
transcend in any measure the magnitude,
dignity and importance of those already
entrusted to the states. There is scarcely
aright of person or of property; scarcely
a relationship to family, church or society
that is not now denned mid protected
by state luws and state courts.
There is seareelv a barrier against
crime or a law for the defense of home, of
reputation, of life or of freedom that is not
erected or enucted by your state govern
ments. There is scarcely one of that great
body of rights extorted at Ruiniemede or
in the “petition of rights” by parliament,
or one for which Hampden died or Crom
well conquered that are not now secured
to the American people by their local gov
ernments.
To aid them in preparing the states for
the still broader and more general duties
of the future becomes a commanding obli
gation upon all patriotic citizens. Yielding
to the federal government the most loyal
devotion; earnestly supporting it in all its
constitutional vigor as the “sheet anchor”
of peace and safety, let Georgians resolve
that this state at least shall be prepared
for whatever the future may have in store
for it. Let the broadest and most prac
tical education of her children be
an object of universal concern. Lot
her rich mental capabilities, her varied
mineral and manufacturing resources and
all her transportation facilities be assidu
ously developed. Let her agriculture,
which is the foundation of her prosperity
aiid upon which depends her progress in
every direction, belan object of peculiar
and absorbing interest and be encouraged
and promoted by every legitimate sup- j
port. Let her high credit be sustained at ,
its present honorable and enviable stand- I
ard. Let the most, capable of her sons re- !
alize that in the service of their state, in j
making her laws, shaping her policies,
and advancing her material interests, are
great honors arid fertile fields for useful
ness. Lei. the wise care of her Christian
charities; the reformation of her prisons
and the still higher elevation of public
morals enhance the just pride and augment
the self-respect of her people and add new
glories to the already splendid history of
our beloved state.
At the conclusion of the splendid ad
dress of General Gordon he signified his
readiness to take the oath, and Chief Jus
tice Jackson, advancing to the front of the
speaker’s desk, extended the Holy Bible
and spoke as follows:
“You, John B. Gordon, do solemnly
swear that you will fait hfully execute the
office of governor of the state of Georgia,
and will, to the best of your ability, pre
serve, protect, and defend the constitu
tion thereof, aud the constitution of the
United States of America.”
The great seal of state was then handed
to President Davidson by the secretary of
state aud passed by him to Governor Gor
don, who in hir. turn again entrusted it to
the keeping of the secretary of state.
President Davidson then declared John
B. Gordon, of DuKalb county, duly elect
ed governor and commander in chief of
the army and navy of Georgia for the en
suing term.
Benediction by the chaplain of the
house.

ALL HANDS AT WORK.
Augusta Evening News.'
Just as Committeeman Wright snid on
the evening of his settlement of the mill
troubles, just, so the operatives acted, obe
diently, willingly, cheerfully, and the
wheels of all the mills t urned again this
morning.
This statement about covers the ground
for to-day, for all tlie mills opened with
about their usual Monday morning lists.
The Augusta and Sibley mills had a large
number less than the old rolls, because
during the past three months many oper
atives have left the city and strayed oil'to
other work. All the mills have absentees
on this and other accounts, like sickness,
and the usual happenings about the mills
and operatives’ houses, but the opening of
all the mills was about as usual before the
trouble.
At the Augusta factory 400 went to work
and were assigned places by Superintend
ent Crombe, and about 40 or 50 were told
to come back Wednesday, when work
would be ready for them. The mill has
been closed long and worked irregularly,
and it will take several days to get the
whole mill in operation. The former op
eratives numbered 1KKJ, and sometimes 050
were on tne pay rod. so there will lie
plenty ot room for all applicants. There
were 145 hands.already at work in tlie fac
tory. but so many of the former hands are
out of town that there will be no difficulty
in providing work for all comers.
The Sibley started up all right, though
there were a number of absentees for the
same cause, aud all the other milts will
he furnishing work for applicants as they
come in.
The King and Enterprise and the Alger
non, Shamrock and Riverside began with
nearly their old forces in their same posi
tions, and the prospects for the mills are
very bright. The operatives are all happy
on their return to work and are moving
the mi chines with willing hands.
The Sibley mill has neveroperated all its
machinery as yet, but with an addition of
about twenty five hAnds, which the com
pany expects to put to work in a few days,
the entire machinery of tills giant mill
will he in operation. A few of those who
applied to day were told to wait, until work
was provided, but there will tie room for
all.
COMMITTEEMAN WRIGHT.
Committeeman Wright is still in the
city, and will remain until he has settled
the indebtedness of.the order with the
merchants. He has hud much trouble with
demands for rents from parties and for
medicines, etc., ohiefly from a member of
t.ho executive committee of the local
Knights. Dr. Salty, who lias been drawing
a salary from the Knights for medical ser
vice and medicineswben the city furnishes
■a city physician and free medicines at the
dispensary. All such tillla Mr. Weight, will
tint he responsible for, but he will settle
all audited accounts.
Its has inadu n strong and favorable im
pression with all whom he has met, and
the presentation of a handsome walking
stick by Mayor May, in behal f of the t-iti
zei'.a, and his acceptance. Inis added to the
popularity of Mr. Wright in Augusta.
IDl.KRS AND DEADHEADS OUT.
“The beauty of the settlement and the
return to work is that idlers aud dead
heads are out of a job. The leaders did
not know how to manage the order mid
they really did not know how much they
were in debt.”
Thus sooke a prominent sympathizer of
the Knights in the fifth ward to the
Evening News to-day.
