First-Class Fare *2.50 Per Day An “Old Virginia Welcome” by Hewitt. TDK GENERAL ASSEMBLY*. 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 seats were tendered Thomas Eason and A. G. McArthur. Representative Cloud affered a res olution that the hours of meeting be fixed at 9:30 a. m. and 2:30 P. M. and of adjournment at 12:30 p, m. and 4:30 p. m. On motion of Representative Walsh the resolution was indefinitely post poned. On motion of Representative Jor dan, of Hancock, 500 copies of the Governor’s message were ordered to be printed for the use of the house. Representative Candler offered a resolution to appoint a committee of two from the senate and three from the house to wait upon the governor elect, Gen. A. H. Colquitt, inform him of his election, and ascertain at what time it will suit his conven ience to be inaugurated ; which was agreed to. The Speaker appointed on the part of the house, Representotives Can dler, Carlton and Hood. The senate concurred in the resolu tion, and Senators Felton and Mattox were appointed on the part of the senate. A message was received from the senate announcing that they had passed a resolution to appoint a joint committee to notify Gov. Smith of Gov. Colquitt’s election, aud had ap pointed on the part of the senate, Senators McDaniel and Harkness. .Representative James moved to amend by adding that the committee have charge of the occasion, and that Gov. Smith be invited to be present, which was agreed to and the resolu tion concurred in. Representative Candler, from the special committee, reported the com mittee had waited on Gov. Colquitt, and that he had indicated Friday, (to-morrow) at 12 m. as tlie time for inauguration. Representative Candler offerer 1 a resolution that tiie senate and house assemble in the hall of representatives at 12 m. to-morrow to administer the oath of office to Gen. A. H. Colquitt, the governor-elect, which was agreed to. Representative Northen offered a resolution that the secretary of state, comptroller-general and treasurei re port the amount of salaries and fees of their several offices by to-morrow morning. Representative Janies moved to amend by striking out “to-morrow” and inserting “Monday,” which pre vailed, and the resolution, as amend ed, was agreed to. Representative James moved to take from the table his resolution, authorizing the speaker to appoint side doorkeepers and gallery keeper, which motion did not prevail. Representative Matthews, of Pike, offered a resolution that the house dispense with assistant doorkeeper and assistant messenger. Representative Moses oft'erred a substitute that the speaker appoint a committee of three to ascertain the number of assistants necessary and the most economical way of obtaiffipg them, which was agreed to, The speaker appointed as said com mittee Representatives Moses, Mat thew, of Pike, and Turnbull. Representatives Stewart, of Spald ing, called from the table the resolu tion to appoint a committee to revise the rules, and moved that the com mittee be increased to five, and that the speaker be chairman or the com mittee, which was agreed to.

I?iiSS6CI • Senator Reese, of the 29th, offered a resolution relative to the employment of clerical force, so as to prevent the employment of any clerk who is not competent to fill the position, and that said clerks shall not be employed unless the senate pass upon the mat ter and get its approval of the same. Adopted. The president appointed the fol lowing senators as a committee on enrollment: Senators Freeman, Bry an, Rutherford, Bush, Deadwyler, Shewmake and Graham. At the hour of 12 m. this body ad journed to the house of representa tives to be present at the inaugura tion of the governor. After the inauguration the senate met in their chamber, and on motion adjourned to meet to-morrow morn ing at the usual hour. HOUSE The house was called to order at 1U a. m. by Speaker Bacon. Prayer by Representative Jones, of McDuffie. W. C. Bacon, the member elect from Liberty, appeared and was sworn in. Representative Cochran offered a resolution that the seats in the gal lery in front of the speaker’s stand be reserved exclusively for the ladies, which was agreed to. Representative James offered a resolution that a joint committee of three from the senate and five frjm the house be appointed to consider and report what offices can be abol- ished and what salaries reduced in order to carry out the democratic principles of retrenchment and re form, which \\ as unanimously agreed to. Representative Moses, from the spiecial committee to consider the question of the appointment of as sistant doorkeepers and messengers, reported that the appoiatment of these officers was a wasteful expendi ture of the public money. The pres ent doorkeeper and messenger were fully competent to discharge all the duties, except cleaning up the rooms and attending to the water closets. They recommend the appointment of a gallery keeper and janitor, and that SIOO be appropriated for that purpose. By adopting this meas ure there will be a practical saving of SBO2 as compared with the expen ses of last session. The resolution by Representative Janies to authorise the speaker to ap point two side doorkeepers and one gallery keeper was taken up. Representative Turnbull offered an amendment inserting “one assistant doorkeeper.” Reuresentative Cox, of Troup, offered a substitute that the speaker appoint a gallery keeper and a jani to, and that no assistant messenger or doorkeeper be appointed, which was agreed to. A message was received from tlie Senate through W. A. Harris, it’s Secretary, announcing that the Sen ate had concurred into the resolution to appoint a joint committee on in augural ceremonies, with the follow ing amendment: “That the retiring Governor be invited to he present at the inauguration of his successor.” The amendment was concurred in. The committee on the part of the Senate are Senators Howell and Fur man, and on the part of the house of Representatives Price, and Keunon. The house took up the senate reso lution to bring on the election of tate officers on Saturday, the 13th inst. Representative Fry moved to amend by striking out Saturday, 13th and inserting Wednesday 24th. He said that he had prepared a bill re quiring these officers to pay all fees received by them into tlie state treasury, and in order to reap the fruits of that bill the election must be postponed. Representative Walsh moved to strike out “comptroller general” and that his election be set down for Tuesday 16 th. Representative Moses said that Representative Fry’s reasons were unanswerable and overpowering. He moved to lay the resolution and amendments on the table, which prevailed. Representative Richardson intro duced a resolution to appoint a joint committee of three from the house to consider what amendments to the constitution are demanded by the wants of the people and report by bill or otherwise. On motion of Representative Jor- Dan, of Hancock, the resolution was tabled. The house on motion of Represen tative Stewart, of Spalding took a recess for thirty minutes.

Upon entering the Governors were greeted with applause. Governor Colquitt then delivered his inaugural address occupying 25 minutes in its delivery. 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.)
