THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE. VOL. XIX. GOVERNOR M'MNIEL. HU Address upon hia Second Inaugura tion. Gov. Henry D. McDaniel wai was inaugurated in Atlanta last Saturday. The Hollowing is his inaugural ad dress: Gentlemen of the Genet al Assembly and Fellow-Citizens: The occasion of investing a citizen with the office of Governor of the State should remind us f the purpose of government. This is to preserve society and to seeuro its undisturbed pursuit of happiness. The principles are so simple, even under our com plex system ef Federal and Slate au ■ thority, that they have become famil iar maxims, embodied in fundamen tal law. Difficulties arise mainly in construction and administration. The people of the United State* have long differed among themselves as to the limits respectively of Federal and State powers and duties. These dif ferences among patriotic citizens re late merely to the best policy to attain the common end—good govsmnieul. As long as this is th i chief purpose of politic*! parties onr ininstitutions will bo safe. Experience will teach th# people the host policy, and patriotism will induce them to adopt it. But the harmonious and successful working of tho system requires that all the States of the Union shall share equal ly in the rights, privileges and duties of administration, as well as bear equally the burdens of the common government. In this respect the con dition of Georgia, when lister States of the South has long been anomalous, while subject to all the burdens, and discharging all th* duties of the citi zens of the Union, our people have been denied equal participation in the administration, privileges and bless ings of the government The section al bitterness which led to revoluuon and stripped them of nearly every thing save the ruins of thoir homes, their snlf-respect and honor, and their devotion to constitutional liberty, im posoil upon them terms which threa tened the existence of society. What ever the purpose, its effect was to sub ject intelligence and virtue and pro perty to the rule of ignorance led by rapacity. There were net wanting men who despaired of republican freedom, and looked for rolisf to em pire. The spirit ot our people roso to tb emergency. Impovished and meiign ed, the utmost they could do was tot secure their State governments from the control of alien*, and to devote their energies to the restoration of material prosperity and the readjust* nient of shattered social relations. No people of any age hare been con fronted with evils of such magnitude and non*, in so short a time, have ever accomplished at much to re-es tablish social order and prosperity. Their present condition is Ihe reward of gigantic labors, wisely directed and nobly performed. While confronting Ihese appalling dangers and difficulties at home, we were embrassed by the suspicion, jealously and hatred of the dominant political parly in the Union. The fact that the war bet ween the States was ended—that all the questions at issue in the struggle were setlled against us, and we had accepted the decision as final—that we were loyal to the Union and faithful to every duty of citizenship, did not avail to restore us to equality. Statutes were were directed against us, which were inoperative elsewhere, and which seemed to cripple our efforts to re store the losses and heal the wounds of war. It asserted that we did not understand our condition, and what was best for all classes of our people. Pretexts were invented to keep alive sectional hate and distrust between the raues, now living together in com parative harmony. Persistent mis representation has retarded immigra tiou to tUis sestion. and has rendered capital timid in seeking the rich re turns of Southern investment It was nothing to these unscrupulous parti sans that the entire country shared in the damage inflicted upon the pros perity of the south. Their sole pur pose was to retain political power. This lias bsen used for purely parti san and personal ends. Taxation has wrung hundreds or millions from the people beyond the necessities of eco nomical government. These vastjsnms have been need to enrich the leaders and favored classes of the dominant section, and to debauch the poU'.ics of the country until the fear that the WASHINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1884. result of National elections will de pend upon the amount of money ex pended is fast destroying confidence in the institutionsofthe country. Each successive election for Presi dent has awakened the hope that the era of misrepresentation, sectional animosity and bad government would be ended. This hope has been sooftcu disappointed that a people less schooled in adversity, loss brave in the presence of danger, less true to their own manhood and less loyal to American libery, would have despaired of the repub lic. Georgians ( can point with pride to the conduct of the State throughout these trials. Forgetting the disappointment, we have striven the more earnestly to perfect our State administration by the enactment and enforcement of utst and impartial laws; to prevent violence, suppress disorder and puu ish crime ;to provide for the educa tion of all children; to lighten the burden of taxation by Judicious econ omy in public expenditure; to reduce the debt and improve the credit ef the Stale; to foster every material in terest of the people to the extent of onr limited means, and to secure to every citizen, without distinction of rtce,color or previous condition, all the rights and priviligcs to which he is entitled. The record ofthe State in these en deavors, under conditions of suchdis uourageraent should banish from the minds of intelligent and impartial observers ail doubt that her people are liberal, just and progressive. Another Presidential election has offereu the people of tho Union an op portunity to express their judgment upon the policy and merits of the Fed eral administration, tho questions involved aro of vital interest to every patriot, whether or not there should oe reform of abuse, reduction in ex penditure, equality and uniformity in taxation, upholding in practice as well as in theory local self-govern ment throughout the Union, instead of further centralization of power in the Federal Government, the burial of sectional differences and animosi ties, and tiie turning ofthe attention ef the entire people to questions af fecting their wellare; these were the issues submitted to tho ballot. The result has not been ascertained and declared as provided in the con stitution, but there is reason to be lieve that the American people have demanded a change in the police of tho government, through a change of the administration. Should our an ticipations of the result be realized, thesntire country will experience re lief. It will be demonstrated that our system of government not only af fords ths largest litertv to the citizen, but the largest and readiest and most effectual means ever devised byliuman wisdom to correct tho abuses and re sit ain the encroachments of power. It will leach the lessen that public officials are public servants, amenable to the people from whom their powers are derived. It will furnish assur ance to mankind that our institutions will be perpetuated because the American people have not lost their virtue. And what is of permanent concern to Georgians it will be a rec ognition of their equality in the Un ion, and a word for the admirable temper displayed iu their endeavors to maintain good government. It will relieve them from the menace of Federal interference in local affairs, and demand of them renewed zeal and devotion in their assistance to solve the great economic questions upon which depend- the prosperity of all section* Of tho country. And t-bovc all other considerations, it will be the acceptance of our pant princi ples, that every right and privilege, now guaranteed to the humblest citi zen of the State, will be respected and maintained, and that whatever human endeavor can accomplish will be done to promote the welfare of ev ery citizen. I cannot doubt that a people who have turned the uses of adversity in to lessons of self-insprsvement will he equal to any rightful demand that can be made upon them. This is the arduousduty winch will devolve upon all who enact'laws or Interpret them or execute them, and upon the entire body of citizens. The responsibility of those who elect ru lers, for the resnlts of administra tion, it scarcely less than that #f the public servants to whom they entrust power. Jealous watchfulness an! judicious criticism of official conduct by the public at all times, and s\viit condemnation or hearty approval, whenever merited, will secure a fttith fttl discharge of duty. Were the responsibility for wise ad ministration upon the executive atone, it would warn mo to shrink from the duties which lam now to assume. The indulgence shown to my errors ot judgment, ami the assistance ren dered by all branches of tho public service, not only increases nty grati tude to the people for their confi dence. but embolden mo to hope for a continuance of the same encourage ment and support. United . effort alone by all citizens, in public or in private station, can secure, under the favor ot divine providence, tho wel fare of the commonwealth. I am now ready to take the oath of office. SWALLOWID AN A 18. CtUK DART Yoauff Albert Austin Becomes on Object ef Interest to New York Surgeons. (N .Y. Sun.) Albert Austin the twelro year old son of Tax Collector R. S. Aus tin. of Wallingford, Conn., was play ing witli a toy air gun on Sunday. September 7, and accidentally swat* lowed the dart, which waa made of a pin with worsted yarn wound round the head. He soughed violently for a time and then recovered without getting rid of the pin. Several local doctors tried to oxlract the pin and tailed, and six days later the boy was brought to the Mount Signal Hospital for treatment. When he reached the hospital he was in good bodily health and fell but little pain front tiio pin. Dr. Ells— berg looked down the lad's throat witli a larnygoscope,and after a min ute examination, decided that the pm had made it, way into the right lung. Dr. Wyeth, who wa* associated witli Hoase Surgeon Hitchcock, tliet> called in Dr. Learning, a socialist oil chest trouble, and by listening at the chest he delected a whistling noise iu the right lobe of the lung, reveal ing the location of the pin. Dr. Janeway and a dozen other physi cians were called to the hospital, and in their proienee, I)r. Wyeth cut open the wiudpipuas near the lung as was safe, and the wound was braced o|ien with silken thread, while the boy re mained tinder the influence of ether. Dr. Wyeth began to fish for the pin through the wonnd with a foacep. The search was continued for hours, and every forcep iu the hospital was tried without success. Orders were given for the manufacture of a special forcep over a foot long, and the wound was kept open by means of wads of gauze stuffed into the incision. Be,foro the instrument was made however, it became evident that the pin could not be extracted that way and Dr. Wyeth,mi the 25th, resolved tc send the bey borne, after fixing a silver tube in bis throat, deeming it likely that lie might after a time cough the pin out. The tube hud been in place but a short time, when the windpipe seemed to close sudden ly and the lad became blue in the face and began to cough with groat vio isnre. He coughed up the pin and is all right now. m s w HOW GOULD STANDS. A Washington special says: “Pri vate information readied hero to night from New York that Jay Goulds will, if Blaine’s defeated is as sured. not only lose hundreds of thousand which lie lias wagered on the result,but it is not at all improb able tint he will bo driven into iiopoloss insolvency. It is believed that he has been staggering under the load of his watered stocks, and liis only hope of relief was in Blaine’s election. It is understood that the bargain between him and Mr. Blaine included not only the withdrawal of suits against the Pacifid Railroads for the hundred million dollars owing by them to the government, but the promise to use the whole power and patronage of the Executive to saddle upon the government the Western Union telegraph at its inflated stock valuation of SiSO,OOO,OOO. Of course, lots of Mr. Blaine's particular friend would come in for nice Hcoa out of this.” ■ Prof. Harris' Pastile treatment for nervous debility lias cured thousands* The proprietors having confidence in its merit offer free trial.

Tho Olwlm That Waa Met In a Mysterious Way-A Prayer Thet Would Not Admit ef Defeat. “No,” said tho lawyer, *•! sha’n't press your claim against that man; you can get some ono else to take tho ease, or you can withdraw it, just, as you please." “Think there isn’t any money in it?” •‘There would probably be some money In it, but it would, as you know, come from tile sale of the littl* house the man occupies and calls •horn*;’but I don’t want to meddle witli tho matter,anyhow." “Got frightened out of it, elt ?" “No, I wasn’t frightened out of it." "I suppose likely the old follow beg ged hard to be let off?" “Well—yes. he did.” “And you caved, likely?” “No, I didn’t speak a word to him.” “Oh, lie did all the talking, did he?” '•Yes.” “And yeti never said a word ?" “Not a word.’’ “What in creation did you do ? ’ “I believe I shed a few tears.” “And the old fellow begged you hard, you say?” “Vo, I didn’t say so ; he didn’t speak a word to ms.” “Well, may I respectfully inquire whom lie did address in your ltear- Ing?” •God Almighty.” “Alt! he toox to praving, did he ?” “Not, for mv benefit, in the least. You see”—the lawyer crossed bis right toot over his left knee, and be gan stroking hit lower leg up and down, as if to help state his case con cisely—“you sec, I found the Utile house easily enough, and knocked on k tlie outer door which stood ajar, but nobody heard me, so I stopped into the the little bail, and saw • throagli the crack of another door just ns cozy a sitting-room as there ever was. “There on a bod, with her silver head wav up high on the pillows, was an old lady wito looked for all the woil.l just as my mother did the last time 1 ever saw her on earth, Well I was right on the point ef knocking, when she said as clearly as could be; “come, father, now begin. I’m all ready”—and down on bis knees by her side went an old white haired tnan, still older than his wife, I should judge; and I couldn’t have knocked then forthe life of me. Well lie began ; first lie reminded God they were still His submissive children, mother and he, and no matter what jio saw fit to bring upon them they shouldn't rebel at His will! of course’ ’twas going to be terrible hard for them to go out. homeless in their old age, specially with poor mother so sick and helpless, but still they’d seen sadder thing* than ever that would bo. He reminded God in the next place how different ail might have been if only ene oftlieir boys had been spared them ; then his voice kind of broko, and a thin, wlti'e hand stoic from under the coverlet and moved softly over Itis snowy lour; then he went on to repeat, that nothing could be so shat'p again us the parting with those three sous— unless mother and he should be separated. But sit last he fell tc comforting himself with the fact that the dear Lord, knew it was through no fault of his own that moth cr and lie were threatened with the less of their dear little home, which meant beggary and the almshouse, a place they prayed te be delivered from entering, if it could be consist ent with God's will; and then Its fell toquoting multitude of promises cott oerning the safety of tliftse who put their trust in the Lord; yes, I should say he begged hard; in fact it was th# most thrilling plea to which I ever lietoned; aod at last he prayed for God’* blessing on those who were about to demand justice”—the lawyer stroked hia lower limb in silence for ! a moment or two, then continued, 1 more slowly than ever: “And—l—believe—l’d ratlisr go to the pool-house my self, to-night, than to stain my heart and hands with the blood of such a prosecution as that.” “Little afraid to defeat the old man’s prayer, eh '< queried the client. “Ble s votn soul, man, you couldn’t del -a; it!" i■cn-ul 'tha lawyer. “It i! • •Im’i of defeat! I toll you ho left it all subject to tho will of God : blit lie left no doubt as to his wishes ir, the matter claimed, that wc were told to make known oiir desires unto God ; but of all the pleading I ever heard, that beat all. You see I was taught that kind of tiling myself in my childhood, and why I was sent to hear that prayer I’m sure I don’t know, but I hand the case over.” “I wish.” said the client, twisting uneasily, “yon hadn’t told mo about the old fellow’s prayer.” “Why so.” “Well I want the money confoun dedly the place would bring, but I was taught the Bible ail straight when I was a youngster, and I’d hate to run counter to such a haranguo as that you tell about. I wish you hadn’t heard a word ofit;and another time I wouldn’t listen to petitions not in tended for your ears.” Tho lawyer smiled. “My dear fellow,” lie said, you’re wrong again ; it was intended for my oars, and yours, too, and God Almigh ty intended it. My old mother used to sing about Gmt’s titering in a mys terious way, I remember.” “Well my mother used to sing it too,” said tho claimant, as lie twisted his claim-papers in his fingers. Yon can call in the morning, if you like and tsil mother and him tho claim has been ntot.” “In a mysterious way,” added the lawyer, smiling.— Mrs. Harriet A. Chcevcr, in Christian Uniou. HR PAID THR MORTGAGE. “Did I over tell you how I paid the mortgage uu tho old gout’s farm ?” ask ed the champion. “Never,” said we. “Well, 1 was fishing in the ereok on# cold day last winter, when I hooked on to what I thought was a whale, but what proved to bo an enor mous bass, that weighed ou tlie ion 350 lb*., and clinging to his tail was a smelt that woiglied ten pounds. I sent both immediately to tiie Smith sonian Institute at.Wasliington.and re ceived in return a chock for $2,000 and a request to catch more if possi ble.” “The bass was all right enough, per haps, but how do you account for the tsn-pound smelt clinging to the bass’ tail ?” “Oh,if tho bass was to goon exhibi tion ho wanted to go top,” replied the champion.—Courier-Journal.

What do you mean by flirting with the boys?” “Fa, we were not flirting. Bye O baby! Now gou go to sleep, dolly, like a good little girl. No, fattier, ours is no frivolous flii tation.” “I suppose,” said the father, giggling at the iiloa, “you are engaged; “No, wo aro not engaged; but, pa, yon might aid us in carrying out the desire of our young hearts.

Why the Millionaire Gave a half a Mil lion Dollars for a Benevolent Purpose. ... (New York Letter In the Albany Journal.) As nearly as I can ascertain, Van derbilt’s gift of $500,000 to the New York College of Physicians and Sur geons, all came from a small incident. Vanderbilt stopped at a wayside 'inn in upper New York, as it his cus tom ot an afternoon, to rest ids hor ses and take a glass of gin and water. The place is known to our horsemen as Barry’s, mid is commonplace enough, except for being the favorite stopping place for Vanderbilt, and for that reason a resort forthe chron ic roadsters. While he stood with his bnck to the bar, his elbow on it, and a glass of grog (“two fingers of Holland gin, two of hot water and a spoonful of sugar”), a pitiable cripple entered—a little boy, with mishappen legs and back awry. “How did yon get into such a shape, sonny ?” Vanderbilt asked. “I was ruuned over,” the urchin re plied. An accident on the road had spec ial interest for the questioner, and h* got the particulars. The little fellow had been overturned and trampled on by a fast horse. He was 100 poor to bo doctored at. home, and yet his mother had foolishly objected to his removal to a hospital where he might have received proper treatment, but he had been taken to the College of Physicians and Burgeons, where ap plicants get inadequate attention, or only such as will serve as illustra tions to the lessons which the stu dents are learning, the facilities being so limited as to preclude anything further. It chanced that Prof. Deremus, tho specialist in chemistry, dropped into the barroom at this juncture. In an swer to the King of Mammon’s ques tions, he Baid it waH a pity that this college, witli the most skillful of sur geons in its faculty and tho incentive to utilize injared persons at once to their own benefit and the teaching of students, was prevented from doing so by limited quarters and scant facil ities. He said that a big building would serve as good a purpose us ho knew of in the whole range of New York charity. From that directly came Vanderbilt’s unexpected $500,000. VANDERBILT TO CLEVELAND. Mr Dear Sir.— l congratulate you and the people of tho whole country upon your election to the Presidency of the United States. You owe your election, in my opinion, to the fact that tho people believe yeti to be al* honest man, and not to any particular efforts made by any faction of either democrat or republican parties. In dependent men, who care more for good government than for parlies or individuals have mado you their choice, because they were convinced tiiat your administration would not bo for tho benofit of any political or ganization of favored persons, but for tho interest of the whole people. Thi* is just tho result which is most de sired.
