liY JAMRS GARDNER. AT(tUsta, ga. TUESDAY MORNINJ. DECEMBER 19. Inaugural Address of Gov. James H. Adams. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: I appear before you to tak-; the oath and as sume the responsibilities ot the office to which you have elected me. To be deemed by the Representatives of South Carolina worthy to oc cupy the elevated position of Chief Magistrate ol the State, and to have had conferred on me so marked a manifestation of your confidence and esteem not only enhances the honor and jespon sibility attached to the position, but excites with in me mingled emotions of gratitude and pride which I should in vain attemp to express. Hold ing nr service to be sq honorable as that of my I native State, and seeing within her confines am ple scope tor the exercise of all my patriotism, I r obey with cheerfulness, but unfeigned distrust, your summons to the post of honor and of duty. 1 know that 1 do not possess the ability to illus trate the station, but I am sure that 1 bring to the service of the State a heart that ha« never felt a pulsation inconsistent with her best in terest and her highest honor. That interest and that honor you are now about to commission me for a brief period to watch over and defend. It is a high and sacred trust. I leel to the fullest extent all its respon sibility. 1 can only promise you, that with the aid ot Providence, 1 shall iaber most earnestly to discharge my duty without *‘fear, lavor, or affec tion.Noneol us are exempt trorri the (railties of humanity, and no one feels more sensibiy this truth than myself. The errors I shall commit, I am sure your geneiosity will incline you to as cribe to their Hue origin*. 1 shall rely with con-* fidence on your intelligence aad patriotism to sustain me in all pioper efforts to uphold the in.nor and advance the piosperity of the Com monwealib, whose destiny, for the time being, has been committed *o our j >int care and keep c ing. With these remaiks, were Ito consult my ■ own inclination, i would here close, but the | usage of the occasion w ould seem to require ■ something more from me. The powers with which the Constitution in- I vests the Executive a<e few in number, simple , [ in their character, and apparently not difficult of } | execution. In ordinary times, tbe most impor ! tant of these, that with which the well being of f I the Common-wealth is more deeply concerned, I than with any other, is the power of repiieve and pardon. The impossibility of framing laws to meet the endless vaiiety of circumstances under which crime may be committed, suggest ed the necessity of lodging this power some where. Its legitimate application was only in tended to reach those peculiar cases, wherein the law. by reason ot its univeisality, mightoperate harshly or cruelly. Under this construction ot the Constitution, it woul 1 he unwise to laydown any precise rule by which 1 shall be governed. 1 c.-.u only indica'e in general terms the course I shall pursue. Our criminal code was instituted for the securi ty ot society, and 1 believe, it laithtully admin istered, and lirmJy executed, that it will be found to be fully adequate to that end. An inconsider ate exercise ot the paidoning power is, in my judgment, not only a mockery of publ'c justice, but a crime against society itself, and would, 1 fear, increase the number of those in our State who are ready tor the establishment ot the Peni tentiary system. 1 am free to contess that I have more faith iu the piesent sanctions of our crimi nal code, and should deeply regret to see them superseded by such a system. I see nothing in the statistics of crime in the States where this novel mode of punishment has been adopted, to commend the example to our imitation. Nosys tem, however severe in its penalties, and rigid in enforcement, has yet been devised, equal to the legitimate end ot all punishment—the suppres sion of crime. In one section of the Union, men stab and kill each other, in hot blood, to revenge an insult or an injury. In the other they lie in ambush on the highway, or steal under cover ol night into the peaceful domicil, and murder for gain. Neither capital punishment, nor incarceration, has been able to suppress crime. So long, then, as the Penitentiaries of our neighbors are crowd ed, and, in some instances, demand enlargement, and our own jails gre comparatively tenantless, let us adhere to our existing code, and faithfully execute its provisions. My own observation authorizes the assertion, that juries rarely, if ever, convict the innocent, while the guilty are too ' often permitted to escape the punishment due to their offences. 1 tiust, for the peace and good order ot society, that during mv administration, ( the application for Executive clemency may be ' few, for it will be only under such circumstances as are demanded by the public good, tnat I shall ! feel at liberty to exercise it. The control and supervision of the military or- gemizaliori of the State are especially confined to s the Executive. Our present system is the re sult ol a well founded conviction of its impor- ' tance and necessity. I shall endeavor to foster | and keepalive that degree of military pride and < enthusiasm so essential to its preservation and efficiency. If its practical operation shall be found to bear haidly upon that portion of our fel- ] low-citizens least able to sustain the burden, it , , will be duty to remedy the defect. I lear, however, that much of the clamor recently rais- , ed against the system, emanates from that class i j who owe most to the Commonwealth, and i should be the last to murmur at the saciifice in- j volved. It is a bad omen when the owners ol j j slaves grudge to the State the troub'e and ex pense incuiied m a few days devoted to training and the use of the musket. If any people on earth are deeply interested in preserving a com plete anU thorough military organization, it is the people of the Southern S ates. The Constitution imposes the luitberduty on the Executive, to collect and lay before you such 1 information in relation to the condition of the State as he may deem impoitant. Upon you it devolves the higher duty, w ith a knowledge ol tiie wants and necessities of the people, to pro v.de the required legislation. The legislation of the State heretolore has been imbued with the conservative character ot our people. Thus far South Carolina has been exempt from the bale ful influence of that wild spirit of progressive de mocracy. w hich has run riot over the North, ig noring all the lessons of experience, and setting ta defiance the clearest dictates of reason. It is the offspring of an impatient, restless principle at the hunaao breas f , which, unrestrained and unenlightened, is at war w ith man’s best inter ests, both in his individual and social capacity, it lies at the bottom of those vagaries, w hich in these modern days seek to uproot the founda tions of society, and to blur and destroy ail that is symmetrical and useful in weii organized go vernment. Rebuked by the words of inspira tion, in madness it mocks them to scorn; and “ because there is a spot on the lace of the sun, would strike it down from -the heavet s.” This desire for change, this lestless spirit of in novation, is spreading over the country. In the Southern portion of the Confederacy it has main- . ly developed itself in fiequent calls of Coven tions to alter and remodel Constitutions, under the delusive idea that a .change in government would re t edy the “ills that flesh is heir to.” Our State has not, as yet been materially injur ed by its influence. Let us shut it out as we would the “pestilence that walketh in darkness,” eDd the “destiuction that wa»teth at noon-day.” It is the Motoch which, asking a morsel at the outset, will in the end demand the Constitution of the State, that it may devour it also. It is a mistake to suppose that to the extent you arm rr.an with untrammelled power, you contribute to bis prosperity and happiness. The possession of unchecked power by the many, is as objec tionable anil dangerous, as its absorption in the hands of the tew. . Out ancestors were no bunglers in the matter of organizing government. They drew theii lessons of liberty and constitutional la w' trem a country ol checks and balances. Their devotion to i-opular rights v ill hardly be questioned, and it certainly was subjected to a severer practical test than that of the liluminati «i the present day They thought the surest guarantee far pop ular rights was to be found in sucb a distribution The Daily Constitutionalist and Republic and limitation of the powers of government as would disarm the lew* of the power to oppress, and at the same time curb tbe licentiousness of the many. The abs< lute rule of the majority constituted no part of their political creed, and time has fully vindicated the faith that was in them. They sought to secure for themselves arid their posterity tbe b'essing of weLl regulated liberty, and our present system of internal polity is a monument of their wisdom and sagacity. It protected them and it protects us—protects us in life, character and property. It has been found equal to our past, and if honestly admin* estered will prove adequate to our future wants as a people. Under its stable influence, we have made sure and steady progress. None ot our neighbors, how ever in advance of us in the march of progressive democracy, have outstripped us in the race of true greatness and solid prosperity. In proportion to our area, iu works of Public Improvement, we have accomplished as much lor the development of our interna] resources as any one of our South ern sisters, and this has been mainly done by the individual energy and enterprise of the peo ple. Public justice is nowheie more honestly or more ably administered, and as an organized community, we exhibit the noble spectacle of a law-loving and law-abiding people. Our efforts in the casue of popular education, if not com mensurate with our wants, evince a deep seated conviction of its vital importance, and it is to be hoped, that in tbe fullness of time they may be crowned with their legitimate fruits. Our liv ing statesmen will not suffer by comparison with those ot our neighbors ; and if you unroll the scroll of the past, no State has inscribed on it sterner patriots, abler statesmen or more gifted orators. Weak in numbers aod small in territory, we have always exerted a commanding influence in the national councils. We owe it ail to our high intelligence and moral characteristics, and these have been preserved and kept alive by the con servative element at tbe foundation of our In stitutions. I appeal to you, then, by the glori ous recollections of the past and the encourag ing hopes ot the future, to stand by our ancient landmarks. Begin not the work of pulling down and patching up. The first step you take in that direction may be fatal. The watchword will be reform—the shout will be change until you have pulled down over your heads the best balanced system of government that the world has yet looked upon. Upon the subject of our relations with the general government, 1 have but little to say. I have no new opinions to announce, and go specific remedy to propose to meet the dangers which are before us. The signs of the times are as open to your vision as they are to mine. We tnay interpret them differently, but to my mind they indicate * settled purpose on the part of the Northern States to as*ail aod degrade or ruin the Southern States. How or when the South shall meet to redress the perils of her con dition, I will not venture to anticipate. Time will demonstra e whether our institutions tend to lift us up as a a people, promptly to protect our rights and perpetuate our liberties, or whether they wiil sink us down to the level ot degraded and reined provinces. And now with fervent piayer that Providence may guide ycur deliberations and bless your ef forts for common good, I am ready to take the oath prescribed by the constitution. South Carolina Legislature, The Blue Ridge Railroail Bill Passed by the House. Columbia Dec. 15-—Senats. —Various bills passed their first reading. Mr. Allen moved to indefinitely postponemo bill repealing the laws against usury. The mo tion, however, wa9 lost by a vote of 16 to 18. The bill to improve the free school system of the State was ordered for consideration to-mor row. The bill to incorporate the Merchants’ Mutual Insurance Company passed a second reading. The hill to pay the Legionaries ot Luxemburg $27,635 passed by a vote of 23 to I*2, The bill to alter the Constitution 90 as to have but one day tor the elections wls lost. The hill to aid the Charleston and Savannah Railroad passed without opposition. The Hon. A. P. Butler was re-elected U. S. Senator on joint ballot, having received ISO votes. Mr. McAliley submitted a resolution to the effect that the President of the Bank of the State be requested to inform the Senate whether any portiofi of the funded debt of the State has been purchased on account ol the sinking fund, in obedience to the requisitions of the Charter, and how much ot the sinking fund has been invested in Bonds, notes, &c., and whether the accounts of the sinking fund are kept in such a manner as always to show what particular bonds, notes, &c., belong to said fund. The resolution was adopted. , A resolution providing for the purchase of Werner’s Iron Palmetto Tree, which is now in front ot the Capitol, for an amount not exceeding SSOOO, was ordered for consideration to-mor row. Hocse of Representatives. —The Senate bill to relieve Ministers of the Gospel from patrol duty was ordered lor consideration to-morrow. The Committee on the Judiciary made a fa vorable report on the bill to alter the time of the sittings ol the Courts of Equity on the Second Circuit. The usual resolution was introduced to appoint a joint Committee, to examine the affairs ol tbe Bank oi the State and its Branches. The debate on the bill tograut, aid to the Brae Ridge Railroad was resumed, and continued until the House took a Recess. Evening Session. —Mr. Memminger made a powerful effort in favor of the Blue Ridge Rail road. After some further discussion pro and con the bill was passed by a vote of sixty-five to fifty two. The bill subscribes $1,000,000 and guar antees the same amount. Daring Robbery. —Several burglais entered the store of Messrs. T. M. Turner & Co., on Bay-street, on Friday niaht last, who are evident ly experienced in their profession, and go pre pared with implements for prompt execution. They entered the building Irotn the rear by means of a lalse key, and by raising tbe bar by which the door was doubly secured. They then went to work and manuiactured‘*a dark lantern out of a segar box which they found containing old checks. A slow* match was also made by wrap ping browm paper, with the necessary quantity of powder, around a string. A hole was drilled in the iron sate, and half pound of powder poured in; and thus they succeeded in hoisting the sate open, in which tiipy found a small sum of money, and would have found a larger amount, and been better paid for their trouble, had not the cashier, unintentionally, left the funds in a drawer of his desk instead of the sale. The canister contain ing the powder was left—it bad agbrand alto gether unknown amongst dealers in the article • in this city, and was enveloped probably in the same paper in which it was imported. The robbeis made good tfieir escape. Let the police be on the alert—Sat' Geo., nth intt. Another. —Last night a trusty servant was robbed of letters he was taking home from the Post office. Having seen the bearer place them jn hat, the robber relieved him, of the same and fled. He was pursued with the cry of ‘‘stop thief,’ 7 but succeed in evading his pursuers. Those who will commit such daring outrages, will ap ply the torch, or be guilty of any other depreda tion. We trust some of these gentry may be ar rested and dealt with according to their deserts. —lb. Cotton Below. —Some ten or twelve thous and baits cotton are hauled to the banks ot the Tennessee below, waiting for a tide in the river. When we can get water we shall have an un usual brisk season. Every body is delayed on this account, and business must remain ttatu quo until there is more rain. We hear of consider able produce to come iij when the means of trans portation are reachable. There is a slight pros pect of rain, —Chattanooga Gaxtttt, 16 th inti. AUGUSTA, GA. t TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1354 1 From the Washington Star , 14 th m#t.] • Congressional. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill ol Mr. Badger to increase the pay of members of Congress and the judges of the Supreme Court was referred. Mr. Jones,of Tennessee, introduced a bill to grant three years credit for the duties on laiiroad iron impoited by railroad companies lor their purposes And then, alter the transaction of routine business, they adjourned. In the House, Mr. Murray reported from the Committee on Printing a resolution to print|ls - 000 extra copies of the Seventh Census in octavo form, not to exceed three hundred pages. This resolution was debated by Messrs. Jones, of New York, for it, and Messrs. Clingman and Jones, of Tennessee, against it. In the course of these proceedings, Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, said that he could see no possible necessity for the printing of these statistics. He supposed every physician knew how many; of his patients he had killed, and whether he ! had killed them scientifically or ignorantly ; and it would do them no good, he conceived, to know ! how many they had killed in the aggregate. Mr. Hunt replied, saying the gentleman had j censured the medical profession by talking about j physicians killing and keeping an account of their ■ own dead,andjjremarking that there is no necessi- j ty.of havir.gjvital statistics furnished at the hands j of the Houfct» He did uot impute to the gentle- t man an intention to do so. Perhaps the gentle- ! man spoke in ignorance ; but he did slander an j honorable profession, whatever his intention j might have been. 1 he gentleman said he wished to have noth ing to do with bullies. Was the gentleman so lalse to truth and honor as to impute to him [Mr. Hunt| that he would trespass on the feelings of any honable gentleman, and that he would wan tonly do wrong to any human being? If the gentlemann meant, by being a bully, that he (Mr. Hunt] had the courage of a gentleman.— Why did the gentleman talk ol bullying ? Had he any fear? Did he imagine that he [Mr. Hunt| desired to insult him ? He would rather cherish a good will towards all mankind ; and il he knew his own heart, he had Christianity enough to desire to live at peace with all the world. He had always liked the gentleman, and had met him on social and kind terms.— When he rose to vindicate an honorable prates- ' sion, he had no idea of testing the courage of the gentleman, or trampling on him. The resolution was then passed. On the motion of Mr. Perkins, of La., a reso- ; lution was adopted calling on the Postmaster I General for information whether the Mississippi ' river mails from New Orleans to Cairo and from Keokuk to Galena had gone into operation. Shortly afterwards they went into a Commit tee of the Whole, (Mr. Chandler in the chair,} on the Indian appropriation bill, when Mr. Mace made an anti-Nebraska speech, and was replied to by Mr. Oliver, of Mo. When the committee rose Mr. Stephens. of j Georgia had the flo r. The House then ad journed. December 14. In the Senate, the joint resolution to authorize a change in the plan of the new custom-house being built at New Orleans, was passed. This was the only public business transacted before i we went to preas. In the House, Mr. Wheeler presented the pe- j titijm from the New York Chamber of Com- ! meree asking Con.'ress to authorize the sending ! of a Government expedition in seaich of the i ! Aictic expedition of Dr. Kane. It was read for ! information, and referred to the Committee on i Naval Affairs. Various private bills, resolutions, reports from j committees, &c., of no public interest, were then ! i presented and referred, or otherwise disposed ot. j Mr. Houston moved the usual resolution to j close the debate on thp Indian appropriation bill i in two hours eftof it »Ro«id oc oont tau«n up in committee; agreed to. On motion of Mr. Houston, the House next went into committee on the Indian appropria tion bili, (Mr. Chandler in the chair.) when Mr. Stephens, of Ga., who was entitled to the floor, addressed the committee for an hour in re ply to the position assumed yesterday b}' Mr, Mace, that the recent Northern elections had de monstrated the unpopularity of the Nebraska bill. Mr. S. delivered a powerful speech, indeed, analyzing the various results in the different States, and contending that they involved no anti-Nebraska triumph. December 15. The Senate was not in session to-day. House of Representatives. —Mr. Houston, from the committee on ways and means, repor ted a bill making appropriations for the civil and diplomatic expenses of the government, for the June, 1856. Referred to the ' committee ot the whole on the state of the ' Uniou. Mr. Eddy introduced a bill making appropri ation lor continuing the piers and constructing a breakwater at Michigan city, Indiana,and other wise improving the harbor of said city. Referred to the committee on commerce. The House then went into committee of the whole and took up the private calendar. The first on the calendar was for extending the Colt patent. Mr. Edgerton moved that it be passed by, as the select committee on that subject is not ready to report. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee; thought the com mittee had better dispose oi it now, but Mr. Etl gerton’s motion was agieed to. The bill lor the reliet oi the children and heirs of Major General De Kalb was discussed, and amended by appropuating $60,000 for that pur pose. This bill, together with lour other private bills, was subsequently passed. Mr. Wallbridge presented the memorial of Benjamin Trice and others in favor of the home stead bill. The Houae then adjourned till Monday. Commmial.
