do not doubt that there are men in

In order to obtaiu a correct version of

the cause of sectional strife dead and the
lingering discord rapidly dying; with
peace and prosperity brightening and
cheering alike both Southern aud North
ern homes ; with the ties of social inter
course multiplying and strengthening;
with Southern products in the hands of
Southern consumers and Northern money
in Southern bonds, railroads, mills and
mines; with both material interests aud
political liberty at stake, how can we
doubt that condemnation by the great
conservative masses of our Northern coun
trymen would cause even the most incon
siderate of leaders to turn from the brink
of such a precipice?
Take courage, then, in the thought that
our interest is their interest, our prosper
ity their prosperity, our State freedom
their State freedom, and that whatever be
the demand of partisan leaders, the day
has long since passed when the American
people can calmly contemplate the de
struction of this Union by destroying the
equality of the States that compose it.
We owe it to ourselves and to our children;
we owe it to both races, whose interests
are linked by immutable decrees to a com
mon destiny; we otve it to each and all our
sister States; we owe it to the vital princi
ples of our free institutions, to renew our
vows of fidelity and unfaltering support
of a Union of equal and independent
States.
After this elegant address, which was
warmly applauded, the Governor took the
oath of office, and received from the
President the great seal of the State, which
he delivered into the keeping of Hon. N.
C. Barnett, the Secretary of State. Gov.
Gordon and those who accompanied him
then withdrew from the hall, and the
Kentucky and Secretary Endicott. During
the conversation that followed I asked Mr.
Cleveland what he thought of the chances
of his re-election. He replied that he did
not thiuk, in the existing state ot affairs in
New York, that it was possible for nim to
be re-elected. When I questioned him for
an explanation he directed iny attention
to the state of affairs in New York and de
clared that his defeat was inevitable and
would be the result of trading in New
; York city.

election impossible. He does not like me

In the House of Commons, inthe debates
on the estimates in connection with the
Supreme Court of Jurisdiction, Louis J.
Jennings, Conservative, moved to reduce
the appr ipriatious by a considerable sum.
Lord Randolph Churchill approved the
proposed reduction. He said the money
squandered on court officials was a public
scandal and a national disgrace, amount

justice recently added to the machinery
consisting of nothing but lawyers. It was
absolute brigandage on the tax payers.
Before the Government asked them to

Churchill’s excessive criticism as calcu

we have so earnestly labortd, augments
the gravity of tne responsibilities devolv- j

your actions and utterances will be char
actcrizcd by the “wisdom, justice and
moderation” emblaz >ued upon Georgia’s
shield: and that the courage, patience and j
fortitude of her people will, in the future ■
as in the past, be found equal to any ordeal j
through which they may oe c tiled to pass, j
1 do not for one moment doubt.
Without abating in any degree our in- i
terest in mi ional affairs, let us redouble
our energies for the fuller development of
the natural resources with which thisScate
is so richly endowed. No higher iuspira j
tion was ever vouchsafed to any people ,
than is atl >rded by your marvellous mate-
rial progress since you regained oossossion
of your State Government. You have re- j
established your railroad systems and i
added 212 per cent of mileage. Y >u have i
inaugurated a now era in cotton manufac
ture and increased your productions
in the tabries of your great staple ;
l\y 203 per centum. You have ;
revolutionized the iron industry of the
continent and found markets for your
products in the iron metropolis of Penn
sylvania. You have repeopled your de
serted homes, restored your wasted plan a-
tions. rebuilt your burnt cities and literally
created anew a great and prosperous coun
try within less than a quarter of a century.
All this amazing progress has been
achieved in the face of financial embarrass
ments ami peculiar difficulties greater and
more discouraging th *n ever before con
fronted and obstructed any civilized peo
ple. Both S ate and national statistics are
impartial and unimpeachable witnesses of
the wealth-producing capacities of our
unrivalled resources, and of the healtu-
securiug virtues of our uut quailed climate;
w hile the catnolic temper and proverbial
hospitality of our people conspire with
our God gtveu natural advantages in pre
senting inducements to our Northern
countrymen which can t>e oflered by no
other section of this great country.
But the question wuich is weighing upon
the heart aud mind of this people is this:
What is to be the political fuiure of tuts
and of her sister Southern States?
The responsibility of the States for ihe
character of Federal administrations is
greater than the average voter is proue to
admit. The respousibitity of each indi
vidual State, like that of the individual
citizen, is in proportion to prominence
and approach to leadership. Georgia
could not, if she would, nd herself of the
great responsibility’ which attscties to the
position which she has achieved aud w hich
is treely accorded her as one of the con
spicuous States ot the American l uion.
I will not undertake to predffct t he policy
that will be pursued toward tne S>uth
when the triumphant party shall ha\e
gathered into its bauds all ihe powers of
the Legislature and Executive depart
ments of the Govern ment, out neither
Georgia's duty to the general Government
nor the reciprocal rights of her people
under it, can justly be adjudged bv any
chauge in Federal administration. In this
connection my sense of obligation to this
generous and patriotic people compels me
to declare my profound conviction that no
overwhelming or crushing calamity will
or can befall them 1 cannot believe that
alienation aud strife is to be the lasting
heritage from our unhappy war, notwith
standing the mei&ncbolly fact that some
of the leaders of the successful! party with
great abilities and iu higu places sees
year by year to estrange the sections aud
embroil the races.
I do not believe that the return
of ihe Ilepuolieau party to power
in ®this era of prosperity aud
and peace means or cau meau tue enact
ment of force bills and the enslavement of
States. Iu this American Republic the
reigning political party proposes but the
sovereign people disposes. Passion may

Catches Eire and the Passengers Escape
with the Loss of Clothing. 4
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 13.—While cross
ing the mountains coming east, early this
morning, the Pullman sleeper “Aragon,”
of the New York express train No. 9, on
the Pennsylvania road, caught fire, and
before the flames could be sObdued ofie-
half of the car was consumed, together
with the clothing of a number of passen
gers. The fire was discovered about 4
o’clock, when the train was nearing Cone
maugh. The passengers were quiefcly
awakened, and half clad, they rushed, ]
panic-stricken,i from their berths to the i
adjoining car. Meanwhile the fire was
steadily gaining, and it was feared the ear j
would be consumed entirely. The porter, j
however, with the assistance of fire extin- I
guishers, soon had the flames under eon- I
trol. There were twenty passengers on
the car, but fortunately no one was in
jured. The passengers who had lost por
tions of their clo htng presented a demur
alized appearance wnen they arrived in
this citv this morning. It is supposed that
the lire caught from the stove. Loss not
known.
tice Hanner intimated that the court’s de
cision in the matter of the disclosure of
documents was that all documents which
the Times possessed, including even those
which the Times solicitor thought spuri
ous, should be disclosed, in order to assist
in the search for the truth.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Par-
nellites, stated that be had received sev
eral threatening letters.
Justice Hanner remarked that he, also,
and prooably others engaged iu the case,
had received similar letters. The intimi
dation of witnesses, he said, was certain,
and that precaution must be taken not to
allow the premature disclosure of their
names.
The taking of evidence in relation to the
outrages was then proceeded with. James
Minniouin, one of the witnesses called,
declared himself both a Fenian and a
member of tne National League. He said
he had taken part in several outrages, and
had gone on moonlight expeditions. He
kuew no moonlighter who was not also a
member of the League.
Peter Flaherty, a farmer of Galway, tea
tilled that he was a moonlighter and was
not ashamed to ackuowledge it. He was
perfectly ready to act with the moon
lighters again.
Edward Flannigan said that he had been

demanding attention were iu the nature
of protests, then contests; some person
or persons protesting against
what they considered tbe illegality
in tne appointment of delegates. Schil
