(Jov- Colquitt's Inniigral Address
Gentlemen of the Senate and house
of Representative*:
In accordance with the Constitu
tion and laws of the State, I appear
before yon to take the oath of offiee
a* Governor of Georgia for the next
four year*. No edit of an autocrat
convenes ns in this hall to-day; no
cocrrion—‘whether iioomes from a
master, or the exigencies of a faction
or the peril of the State—has foroed
us to assemble for this .ceremony.
But self-marshalled, we are here to
witness the peaceful change of pub
lic administration; the dutlfisl and
dignified surrender of power by one
public servant and the assumption of
official responsibility by another.
The custom of my predecessors, as
well aa my deep sense of gratitude to
(be people, demand from me a few
words expressive of ttMB fffttttnde
and indicating, in genan|Uermfk the
policy which the times seem to de
mand.
The unprecedented majority which
called me here overwhelms me with
thankfulness. Language fails me in
the attempt to give it adequate ex
pression. It shall be my effort .to
prove the depth of my gratitude by
a complete devotion to the public
interests committed to me, and by
au unremitting care that neither the
honor nor the welfare of this beloved
Commonwealth shall suffer by the
confidence you have reposed iu me
ss the servant of the State. The ex
ecutive Government ef a free, great
and prosperous Commonwealth Jike
Georgia, with its million and a
quarter ol intelligent inhabitants, af
fords for the exercise of patriotic
statesmanship, a sphere of honorable
public service as exalted and compre
hensive as the ambition of any man
could desire.
Diffident of my ability, and dis
trusting my own capacity for this
high and holy service, while I solicit
your counsels and co-operation,! shall
reverently invoke the aid of Divine
Providence to enable me to fulfill the
solemn obligations which lam now
to assume.
Tire allusion to tba largo majority
which I was elected —th# largest
ever before given on a similar occa
aion—lras been made, not in any vain
spirit of personal trinmph, bnt to de
duce from the magnitude of that ma
jority two important lasons. It ex
hibited the intonse and universal in
terest felt by the masse# of our people
in this State, in tecoring at the bal
lot box, the victory of those who ar*
contending for the liberty and rights
of the citizen and the limitation* of
th* Constitution. Never before in
Gcorijia 4iaa there been a more pro
found conception of the true princi
ple# of Constitutional Government,
a more wide-apread sensibility to tho
danger# threatening our frae institu
tions, or a more ardent and con
scientions sympathy with the lriends
of the Constitutional Union. This
noble devotion of onr people to a
true Republic of liberty and law,
has pervaded all sections of tho
State aud animated all clasies of our
population. It has given inch an ex
pression of sincere confidence in the
legitimate methods of lawful election
ae leave# no doubt of our fidelity to
onr constitutional modes of giving
them utterance and effect.
In the grand popular majority of
the recent gubernatorial election, is
to bo read tho overwhelming inter
est that Georgians feel in the great
issues now convulsing the country,
and their determined purpose to keep
in allignment with the patriotic mil
lions of our Northern friends who
ara seeking, by the peaceful instru
mentality of lawful suffrage, to re
establish good government under the
undie outed supremacy of th# Fed
eral GoQßtitution.
I but speak my own deep felt sen
timent, and tcbo the public voics of
Georgia, when I say that in all the
complications oil national politics,
bow so replete with fervered interest,
we stand in immovable sympathy
with the elected exponent of consti
tutional liberty, retrenchment and
reform. VV# will adhere tv him and
his co-laborers with the fidei.’tv due
to the champion of a righteous rause,
in every patriotic endearor they .may
make to secure tha honest and un
mistakable will of a Urge majority
of the American peoole, eonstitu,
tionally expressed at the polle.
I refer with eepecial pleasnre to
the second lesson of onr gratifying
ami unprecedented majority in the
gubernatorial contest, repeated bo
HAMILTON. HARRIS CO., GA., fRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1877
less decisively in tho Presidential
election in onr State,
As the benefits of local self-gov
eminent have been expressed, and
the baneful influence of malicious
interference has been withdrawn, the
colored people have recognised that
our hoiwefolks are their true friends
and lienee they have fraternised and
acted with us politically. Largo
numbers voted with us, and swelled
the Gubernatorial and Presidential
majorities beyond all precedent*
They hare witnessed in all their ma
terial interest the effVcts of good,
home government, administered by
people wedded with them to the same
soil, and whose interests are all in
terwoven, with their own.—
Of no right has the bnmblest
of them been deprived. The ad
vancement of the raee in Knowledge
and in civilization has been, and shall
continue to be, a special trust and
solemn duty. Hence, eordial, rela
tion*, so natural and so necessary
both to them and the whites, are
being rapidly and permanently estab
lished, and quiet and peace and #yra
patny between the raocs pervade
the entire Sta es,
The people of this entire country
have but to look, and they cannot
fail to se* bow the more poweiful
race, when left to its own sense of
right and policy, will treat the col
ored citizen; and how, when thus
free to act, the races tecl for each
other a matual interest, pursuo a
common course, nud enjoy a recip
rocal prosperity. How wise were
the fathers when they rested Consti
tution upon the solid pillars of local
■elf government in the State!
Georgia gentlemen is the home for
all Georgians, of every race and, color
and condition; her local government
ia the Govenmcnt of ns all; her fu.
ture for weal or woe awaits us and
our families, and the nobler feeling of
our nature, as weil as the hard com
mon sense of the in-terest of all, de
mand the united political action of
an.
Bnt to past to other mutters of do
mestic policy wherein oil Georgians
hare a common and vital interest.
Not only were constitationa) and po
litical liberty talismanic words of po
wer to the late great contest, but re
trenchment and reform shone con
spicuously on all tbo banners that
heralded the victory of the friends of
constitutional liberty at polls. The
eyes of all Americans look with great
confidence to the reformer just elec

Adminstr&lioo.
Lot u, gontlcmon, look at Dome,
and whilst my own immediate prede
cessor and your own individual pre
decessor, have not been unmindful of
their duty, let ns remember that
times |iave changed, and values of all
kinds have sunk and are still sinkmg.
We most farther, retrench—we must
refottn yet more. It is our impera
tive duty to lighten the public bur
dens. Twenty years ago the taxable
property in Georgia was over five
hundred millions of dollars Te day
it Is only two millions- Then the tsx
ation was a half'milhon— to day it is
a million and a quarter. With less
than half of the property, we have
nearly three times the taxation.
Wi th property thus depreciated aud
continuing to depreciate as it has
done for the last two or three years,
it is clear that our revonues will dim
inish in the same proportion, and onr
income will not meet our obligations.
These obligations, gcntlmen, aro sa
cred. The interest on our debt, now
about eleven millions, must and will
be paid, and our credit at any and
every sacrafice be maintained.
The currant expenses of the Btate
Government must be promptly met.
Our charitablo institutions must be
kept up. In the exigency, w# are driv
en to the alternatives—retrench
ment or incrased taxation. The lat.
ter must be avoided, if posible. I in
vite your earnest attention to tbo
former, and now engage that in all
methods which your experience and
wisdom may devise for saving the
people from increased burdens, I will
most cordially co -opperate with yon.
Lot ns not wait for grand occasions
or for instances of prodigious wast in
which to begin our reforming econ
omy. If we cannot save largo sums,
let us sec to it that the smallest leaks
which aro wosti n g tho treasure, if
tiiere be such, shall bo slopped. In
sucJi an industrial death and financial
pressure as wo are now experiencing
a system embracing small econemies
in not to bf -despised or neglected.
Rigidly honest expenditure ip the
pnblio administration, State polioy dc
dernanda. But, beside* thin, a mor
al effect will be scored by it which
will be of incalculable benefit. Wbile
we give tbe financial world tho ful
lest guarantee f our solvency by
snch policy, we, at the same lime,
place before onr fcousehold in the
State an example wnrthy of all; imit
ation. We rebuke ity the example a
wattftil mud ostentatious expendature
among our people, which aa sorely
wrecks the enbatenoe and prosperity
of the home as it destroy* tho more
imposing sirnctnre stalled the public
credit. The counties and municipal
ities of tbe State will catch lira inspi
ration, and will agaim see the day
when official probity will be the uni
versal rule, and taxation never draw
another dollar from the producer*
pocket to be wasted or misappropria
ted.
Our work is before n, gentlemen,
and a grand achievement is within onr
grap. The work is the restoration
of a vast heritage, which a fad for
tune has sorely wasted and damaged.
It is to avoke a thousand rplended
reaorcea now unutilized. It is to
maintain the proudest and noblest
tradition*—an honor unsullied —the
■talus of as worthy and seupehtable a
constituency as exists, and its posi
tion by the side of tbe moat advancad
of common wealths. This !%boK vast
as it is, exacts no imposibls tlfing at
our hands, With the blessing of
Heaven and the agencies off clear
head* and pure hearts, it may %a ac
complished. y
Again solemnly enrobing tbg Di
vine aid upon our efforts to nerve our
beloved Stale, I now take the oath of
office.
A Prophecy Fulfilled.
Twenty year# ago Denim. WHiwrtsH,
the great expounder of the constitu
tion, uttered those prophetic word#:
If lh infernal fanatics and aboli
tionists ever get cower in their hands
they will override the constitution*
set the Supreme Court at defiance,
change and make laws to suit them
selves, lay violent hands on those who
differ with them in their opinions or
dare question their infalibllity and
finallybankrnptthecountry and deluge
it with blood. —Daniel Webster,
March 1, 1850.
Let any man calmly, intelligently
and honestly review the history of
this country and the doings of the
party in power during the last fif
teen year# and at tho present limo,
and he'will see and admit that the
Biblo doe* not contain a clearer, bet
ter defined and better fulfilled proph
ecy between its lid# than this one
of Dakikl Wbhstkb’h. How very,
very true, every word, as it the scene
itself had passed before hi* eyes as he
painted it. Every man must at once
recognize the great prophecy and its
literal fulfillment.

A Canada Romance,
cuniou* cask or iii-takr# idhutitt.
One of the most singular ceaes of
mi*takn identity ever brought to
light in Gsnatla ha* just taken 'place
at Ottawa. Oil the afternoon of the
20th of September last a dying man
was found by a farmer living at Kd
wardsbnrg, lying OB the road*ide
about seven miles from I’rcscitt.
The farmer brought lum to the latter
place, where he died, evidently from
sheer starvation, having been lying
around the country aide wlthdot any
visible mean* of support lor several
daya. An inquest having bean hvhl
a verdict wa recorded in accordance
with the facts, and he was buried at
the public expenso. Meanwhile tho
prevailing opinion was that the un
ortunate man was a resident of Otta
wa, and many people there who had
friends from home, they knew not
where Isoated, grew anxious, and
compared the description given of
the deceased with that ofhim on
whoso account they were so uneasy.
Now Mr. Hughes, who resides o*l
Nicholas street, between Kideau and
St. I‘hul, in the city, had a husband
who left the city in July, 187 ft, that
is to say, fourteen month* before tbe
date of tbe end event, bnt *bO wee
morally certain, from the description
given iu the papers, that it waa her
husband who bad been buried in Pres
cot. Acting on ber apprehensions,
she started for that town on the fifth
day after the bnrial, end, after very
great difficulty, succeeded in having
the grave opened, the lid of the cot
fin taken off, and the body exhumed.
It was a disagreeable task, and Mr*,
ling mi was requested several times to
desist and rest aattiafied with tbe des
cription which had been given in the
Ottawa Times, but ehe persevered.
At length everything was ready for
inspection, and she found that so far
aa tho state of the body would per
mit, erery mark corersponded, even
to tbe most minute particular, with
those she knew to have been 00 her
husband. The height and apparent age
corresponded in a marked degree,
and as Hughes had served in the one
hundredth reigraent of Foot, Mrs.
Hughes brought his discharge with
her and the description of his person
therein given exactly corresponded
with the body lying before them
when in life. Such was the opinion
of all present at the examination. To
add to the proof of identity she men
tioned before the coffin was opened
all these particulars, and in addition
that ber husband wore a long black
coat, which, on -inspection, proved
to bo the case. Thoroughly aattisfi
cd that she wn# a widow in tbe
land, the relict of Mr. Hughes had
the body reiuterred, aud csuie back
to Ottawa, where, acting on the ad
vice of Major Buck/vy, she bad affi
davits prepared for her by Mr. J. J.
Kelioe, embodying the facta of the
case.
The days and weeks rolled on, end
the first grief waa beginmg to wear
off the edge of Mr*. Hughe*’ aorrow
for her lost husband, when to her as
tonishment’ amusement and delight
he, whom the thought *he had bu
ried under the earth, walked into her
presenco on Wednesday morning.
We pass over the first transports of
joy and the mutual explanations that
ensued, merley remarking that
Hughes was in profound ignorance
of all that happened, and had under
gone atrange reversoa of fortune
while away from Ottawa. He had
two very pretty little girls, and when
the eldest saw him enter yesterday
the exclaimed, *‘Ma, has I’a com* up
out of the ground?” All th* friends
of James Hughe*, except one, agree
ed with his wife that it was the bo
dy of her husband which was buried
in Prescott, and that one was his
mother, who, by some strange instinct
could never bo brought to believe it.
though why she conld not very well
explain. Hughes had had a very
narrow escape from death during his
sojourn at the other side. He was
ono of the sufferers by the oil train
taking fire in Pennsylvania, and caus
ing the death of seven and the injury
of about fifty. He was taken to the
hospital in a very bad slate, remain
ing there three months between life
and death, but ultimately recovered,
lie is by no means like a dead man at
present, not even like one who bad
been dead. He is hale and hearty as
any man in tho city of Ottawa. — St.
John (A. It.) Tlrgroph.
