Gov. Smith’s Inaugural.—The in
teresting inaugural speech of Governor
Smith will be found in our columns to
day. It is an index to the character
of the man—plain, honest and directly
to the point. Gov. Smith is just such
a man as Georgia wants in the Execu
tive office at this time. There is much
fraud and rascality to be looked into—
many wrongs to be redressed, and many
things that will require wisdom and
courage to manage He possesses both
in an eminent degree. Whatever he
thinks is right, he has the nerve and
the honesty to do, and risk the conse
quences. Before the people of Georgia
are safe, the judiciary must be purified
—especially must the Supreme Court
be so organized that a majority of the
Court shall not be partisans, but
learned and honest judges. When that
is done a general thanksgiving and
Te Deum should be proclaimed.
THE SAVANNAH
Cirtatlj- Err
KEPT B 1.1 CAN
Nci-ip-
bj i)ol Kuoiving the
III rr*.
A writer in the Savannah Republican
of the ] 1 th inst., perpetrates the fol
lowing excuse for the thieving and
corruption practiced in Atlanta :
“The Federal Union is thanking
God like the Publican of old that Mii-
ledgeville is not like other cities who
are filled with rings and thieves, and
delicately suggests to the Legislature
to move the capital from Atlanta to
that place. The Union ought to rec
ollect that the evils he enumerates are
inevitable concomitants to Legislatures
these days, and that if the Capital was
moved to Milledgeville the move might
destroy its right to any more publican
prayers. But we hope and believe
that the present Legislature is proof
against any thievish or ring pressure.”
Now, we submit to the public that
the Republican has been guilty of an
egregious blunder. The Publican of
old did not thank God that he was riot
as other men, it was the Pharisee that
did that—the Publican merely smote
ou his breast and said, “God be mer
ciful to me a sinner.” But if the Rc-
fhblican had made the right quotation,
it would not have applied to us. The
Legislature has met and legislated in
Milledgeville for more than sixty years,
and in all that time there was not a
tenth part as much corruption and
thieving perpetrated as has been done
in one session in Atlanta ; so that the
Republican's logic is as false as his pre
tended Scripture. The experiment
has already been tried, and w T e know
the result. Whilst legislation was car
ried on in Milledgeville we had honest
and sound legislation. Since it has
been moved to Atlanta it has been one
scene of corruption and stealing. We
hope the present Legislature is a very
different body of men from the last;
but with the best Legislature that ev
er was elected, Atlanta is a bad place
to legislate. The outside pressure is
very troublesome, and the surroundings
are very demoralizing. No large city
is a suitable place for legislating ; to
be convinced of this, we have only to
observe the corruption in the local
governments of the cities of New York,
Philadelphia, New Orleans, &.c.
BEN. CONI.EY M FAI.E.
When, by Bullock’s flight and res
ignation the authority to perform the
functions of the Executive office fell
upon Conley, on account ol his office
as President of the Senate, the Legis
lature were deposed to be very kind
towards him, and treat him as a gen
tleman ; but they soon discovered that
the old vulgar proverb was true—that
it was impossible to make a silk purse
out of a sow’s ear; and they have
found out that it is utterly impossible
to make a gentleman or even an hon
est man out ot Ben Conley. We say
an honest man, because no honest man
would lend iiis authority to protect
thieves and robbeis. Conley says that
Bullock believed Blodgett to be inno
cent, and pe takes Bullock’s word
against the findings of the Grand Jury
whilst acting uuder oath. He takes
the word of a fugitive thief and a
partner in crime to clear one of his
associates before tne oaths of twelve
honest men. By this conduct Conley
gives strong reason for the suspicion
that he was an associate with Blodgett
and Bullock in the plunder of the
State Road. The protector of thieves
becomes an ally and an equal with
them. By his conduct in pardoning
villains, Conley has killed himself
politically', morally andsocially. Here
after he must be regarded as a rnora
leper, and shunned by ever}' hones
same act, I have sold the land for nine
ty cents per acre, the largest price ob
tained by any of the States. Fifty
thousand dollars of the purchase
mo'.ey will be paid to the fiscal agent
of the State—the Fourth National
Bank of New York—during the pres
ent week, and the balance as per con
tract within eighteen months. The
location and establishment of the ag
ricultural college, according to the
laws of the United States, to which I
respectfully refer your honorable body,
is now a subject for your serious con
sideration.”
We fear there is some mischief con
cealed under this sale of Georgia’s
land scrip, and placing it in the funds
in the Fourth National Batik of New
York. It will be remembered that this
bank was Bullock’s fiscal agent, and
probably it holds a large amount of
Bullock’s fraudulent bonds, and if the
money once gets into that bank it will
be hard getting it out. It is true it
may all be meal, but we fear there is a
cat concealed under it. We see the
Legislature has appointed a committee
to look into this affair and see by what
authority Conley has sold our land
scrip arid handed the money over to
Bullock’s agent.

thusiasm or regret on the part of the | by omission or commission, will b<

During the reading of the message
the galleries were crowded.
HILLYER, OF CAMDEN, BUBBLES TO THE
SURFACE.
Upon its conclusion, Hillyer, Radi
cal, from Camden county, who was
scathingly rebuked bv Speaker Smith
during the last session for taking too
much mileage, thought that the state
ment of Conley in regard to Bullock’s
bond issues was so conveniently cor
rect that he wanted the committee of
investigation upon Bullock’s official
misconduct to be disbanded. His res
olution to that effect went over amid
general sneers and laughter*
THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.
At 1:30 the Senate joined the House,
and, President Trammell piesiding the
General Assembly proceeded to count
the vote for Governor. Hon* James
M. Smith received 39,705 votes. He
was accordingly declared Governor
elect of Georgia for the unexpired
term of Bullock.

HOUSE—AFTERNOON SESSION.
Wednesday, Jan. 10.
The House was called to order at 4
p. m., and on motion ol Mr. Hudson,
went into the election of a Speaker.
Air. Pou nominated J. B. Gumming,
who received 135 votes.
On motion of Air. Bacon, a commit
tee was appointed to conduct Mr.
Cumming to the chair.
Air. Cumming, upon taking the chair
made a neat and appropriate speech in
which he thanked the House for the
compliment bestow’ed upon him, at the
same time paying a deserved tribute
to the w’orth of his competitor in tbe
caucus, Mr. W. D Anderson.
WHAT CONLEY SAYS.
Conley proclaims that while feeling
it is proper to lay these returns before
the General Assembly, his mind has
undergone no change as to the validity
of the election. He still holds to the
objections previously urged as conclu
sive that the act was in direct violation
of tbe Constitution of the Statp, and
further that no law* was provided which
authorizes the count of returns iu ques
tion.
HE GIVES UP.THE GUBERNATORIAL GHOST
After twitting the General Assem
bly with the small vote polled at the
special election for Governor, and in
the same breath expressing his reliance
on that body, to correct what he calls
an error, he reluctantly gives up the
Gubernatorial ghost in the following
paragraph :
“ Should the General Assembly,
however, declare that the Hon. James
AI. Smith is duly elected Governor of

SOME CASUAL ADVICE.
He complainingly pleads the want of
harmony and forbearance, urged in bis
former message, but thinks that it is
not yet too late to do good, and de
dares that he will not be a party to an
act to invoke Federal interference in
our domestic affairs. He calls the at
tention of the General Assemblyto the
necessity of prompt provision for the
payment of 8730,000, principal and
interest of the public debt contracted
prior to the late war, failing due dur
ing the present year, and urges the
payment of every debt legally contrac
ted by the constituted authorities of
the State.
THE BULLOCK BOND BUSINESS.
He professes to give a full and com
plete statement of the amount an
character ot all the bonds issued dur
ing Bullock’s administration. He says
that the only kind of bonds issued by
him (Bullock), that are now outstan
ding. and are claimed against the
State, are $3,000,000 in gold bonds,
issued under the act of September 15th,
1870, and SI,800,000 in gold bonds,
issued to the Brunswick aud Albany
Railroad, under the act of October,
17th, 1S70, which constitute the actu-
ion and

it may here be proclaimed that the
people of Georgia t ave no thought of
in a clear, distinct and unembarrassed repudiating any part of tbe indebted-
manner, eliciting repeated and pro
longed applause from the vast assem

THE IXAl’fil i!AL ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly :
• I appear in this presence to-day, in
obedience to the Constitution and
Laws, to take the oath of office and
assume the duties of Governor of Geor
gia. I come in response to the call of
the people of my native State—a peo
ple who, having been scourged with
fire and sword, have had their patience
still more sorely tried by want of in
tegrity in office, and by corruption in
high places. But after a long and
cheerless night of misrule, let u* unite
in indulging the hope that a brighter
day, bringing with it peace, happiness
and prosperity to our stricken people.]
is already dawning upon our beloved j
State.
The duties

ness of the State. On the contrary, it
is their purpose to ascertain the legal
obligations of the public, and to make
provision tor their payment, principal
and interest. It is their purpose to
respect vested rights, to obey the laws,
and suppress crime in their midst; to
require a faithful discharge of public
duty on the part of officials; to pro
tect and elevate the public faith and
credit ; to maintain order; to treat all
classes with justice and impartiality,
and to welcome and treat with hospi
tality ail men, from whatever quarter,
who come among them with the inten
tion oi performing the duties of good
citizens. We desire to live in peace,
to restore our w*aste places^ and to
bring back the government of our
State to the ancient landmarks of the
fathers.
