Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.
THE INAUGURATION.
Both Houses met in joint session,
in the House of Representatives, at
noon, to inaugurate the Governor,
at which hour Hon. Jas. M. Smith,
Governor elect, arm-in-arm with ex-
Governor Johnson, appeared at the
door of the House, and proceeded
to tho Speaker’s desk, followed by
the Judges of the Supreme and Su
perior Courts and a number of dis
tinguished citizen* among whom
were Generals Gordon and Ben rung,
Hons. B. H. Hill and Fielder. The
Hall and gallorios were crowded.
«ov. smith's inaugural address.
The following is the Governor’s
address :
of the. 'General Assembly:
Onco more liavo we met together
in obedience te the requirements of
the law and commands of our com
3uoii constituents. You have already
token the oath prescribed bv the
('.institution, and have entered upon
tin* discharge of the important, duties
mpiired at your braids. It now ro-
M-iiw# lav me also to take tli» oatL
of ullico, and ftunsmi
obligations which the law imposes
upon the bead of the Executive De
partment of the Government. Be-
Toiul this ceremony, the occasion
which brings us together culls for
little remark ; indeed, the times in
■which.we fox* deeds rather
than words —for pithienoe and *elf
•denial—for honest .Koal ki the public
,vn ice for personal economy and
habitual sell-conti<«#l ; for, after all,
•the happiness of States, hs well of
individuals, depends, under Provi
dence,* upon themselves, rather than
upon others.
Our coiflltry has just emerged from
t. a beat and excitement of a Presi
dential election, and it may be we
have not yet sufficiently recovered
•our equanimity to draw those les
sons of wisdom which an earnest
patriotism and practical statesman
ship \ould oduoe from the contest
-wn«l its consequences. It may be
affirmed, however, that there is noth
dug in the part we took for which vre
should reproach ourselves, and this,
whether vre regard the manner in
■which we deported ourselves, or the
candidates whom we supported. —
had failed on & former occasion,
'hen ws cast our united suffrage for
eminent citizens of the North, en
tertaining similar political senti
ments with ourselves, and it would
■win impossible that any candid and
intelligent mind could doubt that
the result would have been the same
"p had repeated the experiment,
anxious to do our whole duty
*nd to resume our place in the Union,
'•th spirits chastened by adversity
a firm purpose to obey the laws,
‘Hough we had no voice in making
we this time adopted as our
°»udidates men who had been con
*picuoriß in the past for their advo
cacy of those principles upon which
e present dominant party had gone
power. Recalling the example
°ur Great 'Chieftain at Appomut
tox > we again tendered the white
of submission and obedience to
'' ne l&ws, and, without approving,
* e yet unreservedly declared our
to submit to what had
Wu done, and to bear as best we
-"uld the heavy yoke that had been
placed upon our necks.
Having submitted to both sword
• ■ 1 i.iw, and having granted impar
suffrage to all elasses of
** 1 we hud bored that we
might claim in return universal am
nesty,. the right of local self-govern
ment, and that precious bulwark of
personal liberty, the great writ of
habeas corpus. The result is before
the world—the candidates of our
adoption were stricken down by their
own friends because they sought to
ameliorate our unhappy condition,
and one of them, distinguished alike
for his integrity and abilities, has
fallen a sacrifice to his efforts in the
cause of amnesty and the reconcilia
tion of his distracted country. We
have done only our duty, and all re
sponsibility for the further contin
uance of this deplorable condition of
the Southern States, must rest now,
and in history, upon those who will
neither forgive nor forget. We sub
mit that there is nothing in the pres
ent attitude of these States which
can justify the President in over
throwing local govern meats through
the assumed authority of a Federal
judiciary or by military power.
What further remains for us to do,
it is assuming but little to say, is
that the State of Georgia will con
tinue to perform her part in good
faith as a member of the Federal
Uuion, and that her people will dis
charge every obligation resting upon
them as citizens of a common coun
try. It is our duty, as well as our
interest, to send our wisest and most
discreet men to represent us in the
Federal Legislature, and to rely upon
the ballot and the peaceful weapons
of argument and reason, to correct j
the existing and prevent threatened
abuses. The sword of the conque
ror has written many sad changes in
our fundamental laws and institu
tions, and it is still uplifted over us,
and indeed over the whole country.
Perhaps it were expecting too much
that th& country should return at
wjk, in:.. .*
r ~nfl orftrr WO-gl'Cilt ft COllVlll
sion as our late civil war. We have
at least realized in all its bitterness
the truth that, in times of revolution,
•objects of weight and value sink to
the bottom, and are seen no more,
while tilings light and trifling are
rendered buoyant, and, by their own
rottenness, rise to the surface and
float in triumph before our eyes. —
But, thanks be to an All Wise and
All Good Providence, the evils
abroad, native and imported, and
spawned upon our State by retiring
armies, httve disappeared frog* our
high places, aud no longer flaunt
their ill-gotten wealth and power in
our down cast faces.
Returning to the rt-ate of Georgia
wo shall find much within our own
borders to engage the best efforts of
the patriot and the statesman. The
vast mineral wealth that sleeps in
virgin purity within our soil, our lan
uishing agriculture and manufac
tures, the confused state of our leg
islation, the public faith almost ship
wrecked by those who preceded us
in these halls, the unsettled condi
tion of our labor, and the moral and
mental darkness in which nearly
one-half of our population now
grope their uncertain way —all in
voke our earnest attention and call
for timely consideration. We have
climate and soil which, whether we
consider the variety and salubrity of
the one, on the fertility and adapta
bility of the other, are unsurpassed
by any similar extent of territory up
on the face of the globe. Our lot
has indeed been cast in pleasant pla
ces—let us then gird up our loins
and perform our parts like men,
turning our backs upon the sad
memories of the past, and abandon
ing despair to faore ignoble souls ;
let us reclaim our harps from the
willows, and looking hopefully to the
future, renew our songs of cheerful
industry and returning faith. When j
we shall have done this, we may .con- j
fidentialiy trust that He who sits up
on the circles of the heavens, and
makes the clouds His pavilion, will
i again send down upon our blasted
homes refreshing showers of His di
vine favor, and lead us once more
into the paths of pleasantness and
peace.

Governor took the oath of office be

BILLS INTRODUCED.
A bill was introduced in the Sen
ate to prohibit county officers buy
ing jury scrip at a discount.
A bill to provide for the return
and payment of taxes on wild lands.
A bill to take the list of voters in
each county.
A bill to change the rules of evi
dence as shown in section 4462 of
the Revised Code.
A bill to repeal the act relative to
fence laws and stock.
A resolution was adopted, appoint
ing a Joint Committee to considers
proposition from the owner’s of Stone
Mountain, looking to the employ
ment of convicts at that place.
MISCELLANEOUS.
After the inauguration both
Houses adjourned until to-morrow.
The House has taken three days
to organize and pass a few resolu
tions. The Legislature should now
go to work and transact business
promptly. This will be retrench
ment and economy.
There is a movement on hand to
take a recess till July, but this
would be making legislation a mat
ter of convenience to the members,
and would be trifling to a certain
extent with grave responsibilities.
The election of Secretary of State,
Treasurer, etc., will probably con
sume Saturday, as there are numer
ous candidates. In a personal in
terview with ex-Governor Johnson,
he desired yous correspondent to
state that he peremptorily declines
being a candidate for Congress from
the Eigth District. While not averse
to serving the State in any other ca
pacity, he would not upon any con
sideration serve in the Lower House
of Congress, and will not in any
event jeopardize Hon. Alex. H.
Stephens* claims for the Senate.

Necessity of Ventilation.
1 hold that the breathing of impure air
is a fruitful source of disease of the right
heart occurring after middle age. How
many people ignorantly favor its occur
rence by confining themselves to closely
shut, non-ventilated, hot, stifling rooms, in
which the carbonie acid has accumulated
two oi?three per cent, of the air they res
pire! How many are thus destroyed by
being compelled, through the exigencies of
life, to pass the greater part of their time
in pits and manufactories y. here ventila
tion is defective, or in which the air res
pired is poisoued by noxious fumes and
offensive emanations from the materials
undergoing the process of manufactui’e !
llow many are falling victims to the poi
sonous influence upon the heart of the at
mosphere of au underground railway! —
What do these facts suggest? How are
these evils to be prevented? The simple
answer is: Let the rooms in which you
live be effectually ventilated by an incom
ing current of air filtered from all adven
titioub impurities, and so divided that no
draught shall be felt; and by an outgoing
current which shall remftre from the apart
ments the carbonic acid, carbonic oxide,
sulphurous acid gas, sulphuretted hydro
gen, and other noxious compounds, as rap
idly as they are generated. Apply the
same principle to public buildings, thea
tres, schools, manufactories, pits, and to all
places in which people are accustomed to
congregate.—Popular Science Monthly.
Expected English ‘lmmigration. —We
are likely to have a large immigration to
the United States from tbe agricultural
districts of England. Very little of this
element has hitherto been added to our
population, and when the tide once sets
this way we shall expect to see many thou
sands of sturdy Englishmen turning their
faces Araericanward to better their for
tunes. A meeting has just been held in
London at which the miserable eondjfion
and low wages of the English farm labor
ers were fully discussed. The I/>ndon
dailies, with a single voice, advise the ill
paid farmers to emigrate, and undoubt
edly the advice will be taken by many.
Several companies are already forming, the
numbers being about equally divided for
Canada and the United States.
Gov. Scott of Kentucky. —While
he was Governor, some one sent him
a challenge to fight a duel, to which
he designed no reply. The challen
ger, after waiting for a time, sought
an interview, atid desired to know if
the General intended to accept
“I do not,” said he.
“Is it possible that General Scott,
brought up in the army, declines a
combat? said the gentleman.
“I do,” said the edd here.
u J hen the only means left me for
satisfaction, is to post you a coward!”
‘•Post me a coward 1 In so doing
you will post yourself a liar.” And
■ there the matter ended
for theitrom-jvmcE to all.

Gray Hair.— An English writer
has recently asserted that an undue
portion of lime in the system is the
cause of premature gray hair, and
advises to avoid hard water, either
for drinking pure or when conver
ted into tea, coffee, pr soup, as hard
water is always strongly impregtra
ted with lime. Hard water may be
softened by boiling; let it become
cold, and then use it as a beverage.
It is also stated that will cover the
human hair blay-, and not stain the
skin, may be made by taking one
part of bav rum, three parts of olive
oil, and one part of good brandy by
measure. The hair must be washed
with the mixture every morning, and
in a short time the use of it will
make the hair a beautiful black,
without injuring it in the least. The
article must be of the best quality
in a bottle, and always shake well
before applied
From Washington.
Washington, Jan. 10.— The Pres
ident to-day nominated O. H.
.eryj of North Carolina, to be Consul
■ at Oporto.
The friends of the cotton tax re
funding scheme are making power
ful, and what they think will prove
successful movement in furtherance
of their object. A circular accom
panied by figments of Judge B. R.
Curtis, Messrs; Hughes & Sharkey,
and • Ilerschell V. Johnson, as well
as memorials and resolutions of
nearly all the Southern States and
eitiei, have been signed by all the
.members from the cotton States.—
Tr present this circular—which, with
accompanying papers will be laid on
he desk of every member— is a dec
laration that they intend to press the
passage of the act at this session to
refund the tax collected by the Gen
eral Government after the close of
the late war.
They set forth that, in their belief,
the law imposing the cotton tax was
unconstitutional, that it was unjust
and oppressive in its operation, that
it fell essentially upon the producers,
and waa passed when their States
were wholly unrepresented, under a
mistaken idea that it would fall upon
consumers. They ask of Congress
i fair example of the arguments sub
mitted, which they claim, demon
itratcd the correctness of their de
mand.
It is stated that this paper is sign
<l unanimously by all the members
of the House of Representatives now’
pitsent from the cotton States, irre
spective of politics or color, and it is
exacted will have a powerful effect
and give dignity and force to the
movement.
Heroic Conduct of ABoy.
The recent rains that caused the “ big
flooJeTTtovne antT-w* AlAi
l , wui-auM, and caused two
creeks near the’town of liockmart, Polk
county, to overran their banks and sweep
off all before the surging stream. The two
creeks united near the junction, on the
farm of Col. Seborn Jones, was a small
wooden house inhabited by Mrs. Moo.’e, a
widow lady, aud her children. The house
was situated near the bank of the creek.
In the rear, and between the house and a
neighbor's, was an old slough, made by
some former rise in the creeks, but passa
ble on all ordinary occasions.
The water bove the confluence of the
wvo streams carried away several mill-dams,
and came down in a huge wave at night.
This noise made by the mail, roaring, foam
ing current aroused Mrs. Moore. On go
ing to the door to her astonishment she
found the water in the yard,'and appar
ently rising with great rapidity. Not
pausing to think, but dreading to be car
ried away in the house down stream-, she
sought safety in flight. But the slough
was tilled with a stream of water, pouring
down with great velocity. Over on the
other shore was the house of the neigh
bor. If she could reach that, she would
be safe. Her oldest boy, a lad of some 13
or 14 years of age, being an expert swim
mer, thought he could swim across and se
cure assistance for his terror stricken moth
er and children. He made the effort but
his little sister, w'bo did not wish to be lift
behind, clung to him- The brave boy es
sayed the bold aud dangerous task of try
ing to cross with his sister clinging tohira.
A gentleman on the other side shouted to
him to go back, that assistance would be
rendered. But the din of clashing waves
and roar of turbulent waters prevented the
heroic boy from heaiing the shouts. Ihe
current bore him down with frightful ve
locity, and in a few moments the spirits of
brother and sister emerged from tbeir
earthly caskets—to rise upborn on angels’
wings. The grief-stricken mother remain
ed, the waters soon subsided, and the bod
ies of brother and sister were found on the
bank clinging together.
Napoleon.
London, Jan. 10—Midnight.— A post
mortem examination on the remains of
Emperor Napoleen was concluded at Chis
elhurst this afternoon, and shows the im
mediate cause of death was the failure of
the action of the heart. The body will be
embalmed and put in state. The date and
place of tbe funeral has not been appoint
ed. It is probable, however, that the fun
eral ceremonies will take place in the Ro
man Catholic Church near the imperial
residence.
South Carolina has a clergyman
named Thomas who, when visited by
the Ku-Klux the other night, took an
ax and made hash of two and wound

Fatal Accident on tho Macon
and Western Railroad.
A fatal and, as w* hear it, inexcusable
accident happened early yesterday morn
ing, two miles above Bear Creek station,
on the Macon and Western Railroad, in
the oollision of the down train which left
Atlanta at 1.15 a. m.* with the up train
which left Macon at 10 o'clock p. m. ou
Wednesday night. Telegrams state that
the eugineer (Johnson) on the up tra*a
was drunk, andstartsd off frem Bear Crock
station, where, by schedule, he should pass
the down train, ahead of schedule lime,
and encountered the down train, which
was en time, about two miles Above the
station.
A coilkiow ensued, which disabled the
two engineers, shattered several cars, and
knocked six of them off the track. Ot
the resulting casualties, we hear that seven
negroes ou the up train were killed out
right ; but how many were wounded we
have at present no information. On the
down train no injury to life or limb is so
far reported ; but wo shall get fuller par
ticulars before going to press.
Conductor White, of the up train, is
reported to be in fault, in not observing
rules and uncoupling at once, when he
found his driver unmanageable and ahead
of time. Conductor Ilarkness of the up
train, was all right by schedule, and had
not the smallest reason to look for 'any ob
struction at that time, and ao near the
usual passing place of the trains.—Tele

ber of both Houses of Congress.
Thomas H. Benton is the only
man, who has held a seat in the U.

A Big Haul. —Many persons have
heard of the “Florida Fisheries/’
but few know the mine of wealth
there is in them. On the 9th of De

Who has for sometime been seining
on the Gulf at the St. Marks Light
House, caught at one haul with the
seine 20,836 mallet The “ strike”
was made about night, and the cap
tured fish were not taken ont until
the the following morning. Daring
the night, thousands must have
jumped, but the number mentioned
were taken out and saved. Averag
ing 276 fish to the barrel, which is a
big average, the haul was equal to
76 barrels, worth at least on the
coast $450. This is the largest haul
of mullet that has been made on the
Gulf within our recollection. Talla

Governor Dix, of New York, in

two great sections of our country
are gradually wearing away, and
that a liberal anti enlightened poli
cy on the part of Congress and the
eminent eitisen on whom the public
confidence has been thus signally
bestowed, will lead to an eventual

a mistake, purchased a ticket for
New York via the Kansas Pacific line,
when he wanted to go over the U»-

then, won’t you ?”
®"No, sir,” replied the agent ;
have your ticket, and I have the
money for it. and if you waufc a tick*

to buy it.”
Very quietly tho stranger twisted
his ticket into a small roll ; m y
serenely he drew from under htr

stuck the twisted ticket into she nup

the ugly-looking thing through tho
little square wiudow of the ticket
office, almost in the agent’s face, and
speaking in the tone that left no
doubt of his determination, lie said :
"Stranger, thur’s that ticket; taka
