First Session—Second Day’s Proceedings.
SENATE.
Atlanta, Jan. 11, 1877.
The Senate met at 10 o’clock. Pres
ident Lester in the chair.
After the reading of the journal,
the call of the roll for the introduction
of bills was read.
The senators were apparently not
quite ready for business, as only one
respond was made to the call, that
being—
Senator Rutherford, of the 23d, who
introduced a purely local bill touch
ing the collection of solvent costs due
the solicitor general in the county of
Crawford.
It is hoped from the above fact that
there is a very slight burden of legis
lation before the . enate,and that the
usual mass of business will be lacking
this session.
Upon call for motions, not a sena
tor rose to his feet, and —
The President, then despairing of
getting a spurt from the grave and
reserved body over which he presided,
announced that a debate was in or
der.
Even thi3 announcement which
! usually brings a dozen senators to
their feet, failed to provoke a single
respondent. The members sat quiet
ly in their scats, conversing softly,
and awaiting ihe arrival of the gov
ernor’s message. This was received
at 10:30 o’clock, and upon motion of
Senator McDaniel, was at once read.
During the reading of this message
a message was received from the
house, announcing that a resolution
had been passed by that body, asking
that the two houses of the general as
sembly of Georgia meet in joint ses
sion at 12 o’clock, to receive and
count the vote cast for Governor in
the October election of the present
year.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the message, Senator Black moved
that the Senate concur in the house
resolution.
Senator Felton amended by moving
that the house resolution be made
the special order immediately after
the reception of the votes cast for
tlie Governor.
Senator Godfrey, of the 28th mov
ed a joint resolution, making Satur
day, the 14th, be selected as the day
on which the election of State officers
shall take place. Passed unanimous
ly-
The President then placed in tlie
hands of the secretary a notice of con
test for the Senator Maddex, of the
4tli, filled by Daniel Butler, (color
ed.)
A message was then received from
the Governor, accompanied by the
votes cast for Governor in the late
election. The votes were brought in
a huge basket, borne by two colored
brothers. Jt was then moved, the
house concurring that the iwo houses
meet in joint session at 12, and that
the President and speaker unite in
counting and publishing the vote
cast, and declare the governor-elect,
and that the inauguration of the per
son declared elected take place on
Friday at 12.
Senator McDaniel moved to strike
out the time of inauguration until
consultation could be had with the
governor elect. Ordered as amend
ed.
Senator Cabaniss, of the 22d, moved
that the Governor’s message ue re
ferred to the proper committees, and
that 500 copies be printed for the use
of the Senate. Passed.
Senator Godfrey then amended his
motion concerning the election of
State officers by specifying in the
resolution the officers of comptroller
general, Secretary of State, State
Treasurer and State printer. Passed,
The Senate then went to the house
to witness the counting of the vote.
Upon the reassembling of the sen
ate a message from the house was re
ceived asking that a committee of
the Senate be appointed to act with
a similiar committee from the house
to wait upon the Governor, announce
his election and ascertain when it will
suit his convenience to be inaugura
ted. The motion was carried, and
Messrs. Felton and Maddox were
appointed.
The committee reported that Gov
ernor-elect Colquitt would like Fri
day, the 12th hist., at 12 a. m. as the
time of inauguration.
A joint resolution from the house
setting this time was agreed to.
Senate then adjourned.
TIIE VISIT TO THE GOVERNOR-ELECT.
The joint committee appointed to
wait on the Governor-elect found
that distinguished person in the room
of the speaker of the house.
Mr. Felton, chairman of the com
mittee, notified the governor of the
object of the call of the committee
and asked him if he had any objec
tion to the inauguration taking place
on to-day.
“None in the world,” he replied,
adding with a smile, “unless it is be
cause it is Friday.”
This remark seemed to arouse tlie
superstitious fears of Representative
Hood, and Randolph. This gentle
tleman most stoutly opposed com
mitting so important a matter as the
inauguration of a governor to this
day of bad repute. He voted steadi
ly for Saturday.
The committee finally agreed,how
ever, upon Friday and then adjourn
ed.
HOUSE.
The house was called to order at 10
a. in. by Speaker Bacon.
Prayer by Representative Stewart,
of Spalding.
Representative Hood moved to re
consider action on agreeing to a res
olution to appoint a committee on
rules, which motion prevailed.
Representative Fry offered the fol
lowing resolution:
Tbe term of his Excellency James
M. Smith as Governor of Georgia,
having expired by Jaw, and it being
a duly incumbent upon this general
assembly to open and publish the
election returns and inaugurate the
successor of Gov, Smith.
Resolved by the house of Repre
tatives, the Senate concurring, that
on Friday the 12th day of January,
at 12 am., the members of each
branch of the general assembly do
| convene in the representative hall
and the president of the Senate and
! the speaker of the House shall open
and publish in the presence of the
general assembly the election re
turns for governor, and the person
found to have received a majority of
the whole number of votes given
| shall be declared elected governor
of this State and shall be inaugurated
as such on to-morrow at 12 o’clock.
Representative James moved to
amend by counting the vote to-day
which was accepted, and the resolu
tion agreed to and transmitted to the
Senate,
Representative Walsh offered a
resolution that the speaker be author
ized to appoint four pages.
Representative Alfred objected to
the resolution. Pages were unknown
before the reign of Rufus the First.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1877.
He moved to strikeout four and in
-s(?rt two*
Representative Walsh favored
economy as much as any member.
But pages were a necessity, and he
considered it practical economy to
expedite the business of the house.
Representative Bloodworth op
posed the resolution. The Democrat
ic party was pledged to retrenchment
and reform. Before the war assis
tant doorkeepers, messenger and
pages were not known. Jesse Oslin,
a cripple man, discharged all the du
ties at $5 per diem. Why incur an
expense of $26 to S3O per day when
the country from Dade and Chatham
is groaning under taxation.
Representative Northern offered
an amendment that the speaker be
authorized to appoint four pages, and
their pay be fixed at $1,50 per diem.
Tne amendment was agreed to by
yeas 109, nays 30.
Representative Cox, of Troup,
moved to take from the table the
resolution authorizing the speaker to
appoint a chaplain.
Representative Black favored the
motion, and the resolution prevail
ed.
Representative Fry offered a sub
stitute that the speaker appoint a
committee of three to secure the ser
vices of a chaplain which substitute
din not prevail.
Representative Hood said that the
expenses of the last house did not
meet the approbation ol the people,
and if this house uid not reduce their
expences constituents would not he
satisfied. He did not come iiere
specially as a reformer. He did not
manage his own finances as success
fully as he might, and therefore did
not propose to manage the finances
ot the state.
He had been approached by min
isters electioneering for the chaplain
cy. lie considered this a desecra
tion of their holy office. He had no
objection to prayer, but rather liked
it. Ferhaps he had not prayed
enough Himself, and the prayer of
the chaplain might do him good,
he was more of a hard-shell Baptist,
and favored free grace. The prayer
of a man who prayed voluntarily and
without pay would have more effect
than one praying at five dollars per
diem. All these things are small
matters, separately considered, but
aggregate largely. We had better
pause and reflect.
Representative Mathews, of Talbot,
believed in retrenchment and reform;
but why commence at the foot of tlie
ladder. He didn’t want the repre
sentatives of the people to go begging
for prayers. The ministry must live,
and why demand that they shall
render service without charge, when
we demand pay for our own ? Shall
we compel the speaker every morn
ing to go about drumming for volun
teers to pray gratuitously ?
Representative Miller offered an
amendment that the chaplain be se
lected from the resident ministry of
Atlanta, and thG salary be fixed at
SIOO.
Representative McDonald said that
lie never ascended a ladder without
making the first step from the bot
tom. He believed in the prayers of
the righteous, but did not favor the
selection of a chaplain from any one
denomination, A committee could
secure the services of ministers from
all tlie denominations without pay.
Representative Hawes favored
paying a chaplain.
Representative Stanford Offered a
substitute, fixing the pay atjfe&O.
Representative Candler favored
paying the chaplain what has been
paid them before tlie war, and moved
to strike out SSO and insert $l5O,
which was lost by yeas, 56 ; nays, 74.
Representative Bloodworth said
before the war the messenger secured
the services of a chaplain free of
charge, without confining it to any
denomination.
Representative Fry moved to
strike out SSO and insert SIOO, which
prevailed, by yeas, 99; nays, 45.
Representative Richardson wished
to introduce as a compromise that a
committee of three be appointed to
secure the service of prayer for the
house from ministers of all denomi
nations in this city, to whom $l5O be
paid pro rata. Ruled out of order.
The substitute of Representative
Stanford was agreed to, and the reso
lution, as amended, agreed to.
Representative James offered a
resolution that the speaker be au
thorized to appoint, at His conven
ience, two side door keepers and one
gallery keeper, and that their pay be
fixed at $3 per diem.
On motion of Representative Hood,
it was temporarily tabled.
The annual message of Governor
Smith was transmitted to the house
through J, W, Warren, his secretary.
On motion, the message was taken
up and read.
On motion of Representative Aw
try, the message and documents were
referred to appropriate committees.
A messege was received from the
senate through its secretary, Hon.
W. A- Harris, announcing that tlie
senate had concurred in the resolu
tion to count the gubernatorial vote
with an amendment striking out all
relating to the inauguration of Gov.
Colquitt.
On motion the house concurred in
the amendment.
A message was received from the
senate through Hon. W. A. Harris,
its secretary, transmitting the elec
tion returns.
At 12 m. tne senate came into the
hall, the house rising to receive
them.
Hon. Rufus E. Lester, president of
the senate, on taking the speaker’s
chair, announced the object to be to
count and publish the vote for Gov
ernor, and read the clause of the con
stitution bearing on the subject. In
order to faciliate the counting, a
joint committee of two fiorn the sen
ate and three from the house would
be appointed to act as tellers.
President Lester anointed on the
part of the senate Senators Freeman
and Felton.
Speaker Bacon appointed on the
part of the house Representatives
Black, James and Turner.
Senator Howell inquired as to the
power ot that committee, whether
they could count out Gen. ColquLtt.
President Lester replied that the
president of the senate and speaker
of the house constituted the return
ing board.
The returns were opened:
The President announced that
144.839 votes were cast for governor.,
of which Colquitt received 111,297
and Norcross 33,444. He declared
General Colquitt duly elected.
The senate leturned to their cham
ber at 2:15 P. M.
On motion of Representative Hood
seats were rendered to W. D. Kid
doo, J. TANARUS, Flewellen and W. M.
Tumlin.
On motion of Representative Dog
ger a seat was tendered Prof. Beal,
of N. C.
On motion of Representative Fort

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR
A. H. COLQUITT.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:
In accordance with the constitution
and laws of the state, I appear before
you to take the oatli of office as Gov
ernor of Georgia for tiie next four
years. No edict of an autocrat con
venes us in this hall to-day; no coer
tion, whether it comes from a master
or the exigencies of an action, of the
peril of the State—has forced us to as
semble for this ceremony. But, self
marshaled, we are here to wtness
the peaceful change of public admin
istration; the dutiful and dignified
surrender of power by one public
servant and the assumption of offi
cial responsibility by another.
'ihe custom of predecessors,as well
as my d?ep sense of gratitude to the
people, demand from me a few words
expressive of the gratitude, and indi
cating, in general terms, the policy
which the times seem to demand.
The unprecedent maiority which
called me here, overwhelms me with
thankfulness. Language fails me in
the attempt to give it adequate ex
pression. It shall be in my effort to
prove the depth of my gratitude by
complete devotion to the pubilc inter
ests committed to me, and by an un
remitting care that neither the honor
nor the welfare of this beloved com
monwealth shall suffer by the confi
dence you have reposed in me as the
servant of the State. The executive
government of a free, great and pros
perous c mmonwealth like Georgia,
with its million and a quarter of in
telligent inhabitants, affords for the
exercise of patriotic statemanship, a
sphere of honorable public services
as exhalted and comprehensive as
the ambition of any man coaid de
sire.
Diffident of my ability, and dis
trusting my own capacity for this
high and noly service, whilst I solic
it your counsels and co-operation, I
shali reverently invoke the aid of Di
vine Providence to enable me to ful
fil the solemn obligations which lam
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 as personal tri
umph,but to deduce from themagni
tude of that majority two important
public lessons. It exhibited the in
tense and universal interests felt by
the masses of our people in this. State,
securing at the ballot-box, the victo
ry of those who are contending for
the liberty and rights of the citizen
and the limitations of the constitu
tion. Never before in Georgia has
there been a more profound concep
tion of the true principles of consti
tutional government, a more wide
spread sensiblity to the dangers
threatening our free institution, or a
more ardent and conscientious, sym
pathy with the friends of the consti
tutional nnion. This noble devotion
of our people to a true republic of
liberty and law, has pervaded all sec
tions of the State and animated ail
classes of our population. It has giv
en such an expression of (sincere con
fidence in the legitimate methods of
lawful election, as leaves no doupt of
our fidelity to our constitutional con
victions and the constitutional modes
(Concluded on Fourth Fage.)
