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 ted President, te reform tbo national 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 paper out West has the follow ing notice: “All notices of marringe where no bride cake is sent will be set up in small type, and poked off in an outlandish corner of the paper. Where a handsome piece of the cake is sent, the notice will be pat con spicuously in large letter*; with gloves or other bridal favors are add ed a peice of illnstraded poetry will be given in addition’ When how ever, the editor attends the oeremo ny in person, kisses the bride, it will have especial notice —very large type, and the most appropriate poetry that can be begged, borrowed or stolen. \fon. A. H. Htephens had a hemor rhago on Fri day last. 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. J)c you pay ior this paper or do you borrow it ?
