Coiuuibua. Georgia, <
FBIDAY MA KOH 6 1885. J
CHiKuas children, according to the I
Supreme Court decision of OanrornU I
are entitled to admittance to tue pun- '
Uc schools. This will wipe out the !
sand lot legislation.
It la aaid that General Grunt is <
better. It may be an. It wag eaid 1
that President Gar held was better.
We wanted to believe so. It war said
that Senator Hill was better, and we 1
all hoped bo. Yet.where are they?
Im the whole U nlted States the mat I
aervioe io only ten Staten pays lie ,
way. while in twenty-eight States it
falls to do so by amounts varying
from 11,600, in Alaska, to $8*5,000 in
Ohio. Georgia falls short by $133,000.
The largest eicosa of receipts over
expenditures is in New York, and it
is over $3,300,000.
Lr a Georgia farmer waute a thou
sand bales of cotton —more or less
in New York next October, he cun
contract now for their delivery to
him at that time, at less than eleven
cents—equal to say ten here.
When it can be bought so cheap wny
not buy it, and raise something good
to eat and to live on at home?
Mkat, wheat and corn will continue
at the present, or go to lower figures.
The receipts at Uuicago are heavier
than they were last year, and the
general consumption of the country,
and the shipping demand, will not
require so much. The outlook to
Southern meat and corn buyers in
more favorable than It has been for
several years.
Ma. Abthub'h very last official act
was to nominate General Grant to be
general on the retired list of the army
with full pay and rank, TiieHenate
unanimously confirmed the nomina
tion. The moment for euch a propo
sition was propitious, for the whole
Senate was io an amiable mood, and
many, who, under other circum
stances would have objected, yielded
assent, and let the General take his
place in dignified retirement.
THKNKW CABI.NHF.
President Cleveland’s Working Staff.
We publish the following dispatch
which will inform our readers of the
material of which Mr. Cleveland hat
formed the working force of his Cabi
net, Doubtless it is a very proper
board of gentlemen to constitute the
heads of several departments of the
government, but some of them are
quite unknown in this section of ibe
country. Our people know but little
of Mr. Manning, Mr. Wnttney, Mr.
Endicott, or Mr. Vilas ae statesmen
of more than ordinary prominence,
but Mr. Bayard, Mr. Garland and
Mr. Lamar are of national reputation
and are known from.Matne to Texas.
Bo the full degree of wisdom exer
cised by Mr. Cleveland in this selec
tion is yet to be developed. But,
while this is strictly true, it does not
follow that any distrust la felt by the
public:
By Southern Telegraph 00.
Wabuisotom, D. 0., March s.—Pres
ident Cleveland sent bis Cabinet to
the Senate this morning:
Thomas F Bayard, of Delaware,
Secretary of State.
Daniel Manning, of New York, Sec
retary of the Treasury.
Wm. 0. Whitney, of New York,
Secretary of the Navy.
Wm. O. Endicott, of Massachu
setts, Secretary of War.
L. Q, O. Lamar, of Mississippi, Sec
retary of the Interior.
Wm. H. Vilas, of Wisconsin, Post
master General,
A. H. Garland, of Arkansas, At
torney General.
PHEMIOKNT CLKVBI.ANU'S INAVOU
.KAI. AUUKKSM.
In another place will be found the
Inaugural address of our new Presi
dent. It is not long and may be read
by all without fatigue, and by thou
sands with pleasure. It is a plain
common sense document, and point
edly addressed to the common sense
and patriotic people of the country.
Mr. Cleveland seemed fully impress
ed with the full weight of the new
duties that have devolved on him,
but he showed no distrust of bis
ability to perform them and to meet
public expectations in his adminis
tration. He told the country that
every man in It has an
interest as citizen and patriot that
imposes on him, a share of the re
sponsibility that he was taking on
himself as Chief Magistrate. Mr.
Cleveland wants economy in expend
iture and honesty and efficiency In
office. He does not want the masses
corrupted in their tastes by the ex
travagance and profusion of the rich.
The new President is in favor of the
Monroe doctrine and of the Washing,
ton policy of avoiding entangling al
liances with the powers of other
continents. He is opposed to Mor*
monism and will do what be can to
suppress It; he is opposed to the
free immigration of Chinese laborers
he favors sound finance, but avoids
the Silver Coinage question and
leaves the tariff to the future. We
especially approve of his purpose to
protect the public lands of the
United States from lavish appropria
tions and unlawful settlements; he
wants them preserved for future
settlers. He wants the Indian tribes
protected in their rights and educated
for the duties of cit zenship. The
negro question will be fairlv treated
by him, and the negro being a citizen
with a citizen’s responsibilities, will
have a citizen’s protection.
The above is only Intended as a
short statement of what we regard
the most important points made by
Mr. Cleveland, and feeling that the
address will be carefully read, we
leave it here tor each reader to con
for himself.
THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. | <
Words of Wisdom Briefly Spoken. 1
Atl2:4op, m. Trial lenl-jlect Oieve- '
land arose and began bis inaugural
address. He was clad in a full suit
of biack, Prince Albert coat, high
oldtushloned standing collar, and
black tie. In six-aklng he held hie ,
left bund closed behind him and em
phasized his speech by jesturiug with 1
ilgbtnaud. lit- spoke without manu
script, but occasionally consulted a
small piece of paper bearing notes of
the heads. His discourse was clear
and resonant and be slowly enunci
ated bis words and occasionally 1
turned about at pluses, as if to note
the effect ot hiß remarks. He spoke 1
,ih follows:
jfeilow-citiz ns: In the present'-
ot ibis vast assemblage of my coun
trymen 1 am about to supplement,
and seal oy the oath which I shall
take, the manifestation of the will
ota great and free people. In the
exercise of their power and right of
self government they have com
mitted to one ot their fellow-citizeus
u supreme and sacred trust, and be
here cousecrates bicnselt to their
service. This impressive cetemouy
adds no little to the solemn sense of
responsibility with which I oontem
piste the duty I owe to ail the people
of th.-land. Nothing cun relieve me
from anxiety lest by an act of mine
their interests may euffir, and noth
ing is needed to strengthen my reso
iution to engage every faculty and
effort in the promotion of their wel
fare. Amid the din of ptrty strife
the people’s choice was made, but its
attendant circumstances have
ietnonstruted anew the
strength and safety of
A OOVZIINMZNT nr tue people.
In each succeeding year it more
clearly appears that our Democratic
principles need no apology and that
its fearless and faithful application is
to be found the surest guaranty oi
good government. But the bust re
sults in the operation of a govern
meat, wherein every citizen has a
snare, largely depend upon a proper
limitation Os purely partisan zeal
and effort and a correct appreciation
of the time whi n the heat of the par
tisan should bo merged in the pa
triotism of the citizen. To-day the
Executive branch of the government
is transferred to new keeping, but
this is still the government of ail
the people and it should be none the
less an object of tneir affectionate
1 sollcilu le. At this hour the animosi
ties of political strife, the bitterness
of partisan defeat and the exultation
of partisan triumph should be sup
1 planted by an uugru Ig.ug ucquioe
ceuce in the popular win and a sober,
conscientious concern for the general
weal. Moreover, if. from thia hour,
we cheerfully and honestly abandon
ail sectional prejudice and distLUs.
and determine with m .nly confidence
in one another to work out harmony
in the achievement of our national
destiny, we shall deserve to realize
all the benefits which
OUK HAPPY FOBM OT OOVEKNMKNT
can bestow. Ou this conspicuous oc
casion wo may well renew the pledge
of our devotion to the Uoustitutlou
Which, launched by the founders ot
the republic and cousucrated by their
prayers and patriotic devotion, has
lor almost a century borne the hopes
and the aspirations of a great people
through prosperity aud peace, and
through the shock of foreign con
flicts and the perils of domestic strife
and vicissitudes. By the father of
his country our Constitution was
commended for adoption as "the re
sell of ar pirn of amity and mutual
000008810:1.’' la that same spirit it
Should be administered, in order to
promote the lusting welfare of the
country and to secure the full meas
ure of its priceless benefits to us, aud
to those who will succeed to the
blessings of our national life. The
large variety of diverse aud compet
ing interests subject to federtl con
trol, persistently seeking the recogni
tion of their claims, need give us no
fear that the
"aaEATEHT GOOD TO THE OHEATEST
HUMBKK.”
will fail to be accomplished if in the
bails of national legislation that spirit
of amity and mutual concession shall
previl in which the constitution had
its uirth. if this involves the surren
der or postponement of private inter
sets or the abandonment of local ad
vantages, compensation will be found
in the assurance that thus the com
mon interest is subserved aud the
general welfare advanced. In the
discharge of
MY OFFICIAL DUTT
1 shall endeavor to be guided by a
just and unstrained const!action of
the constitution, a careful observance
of the distinction between the powers
granted to the Federal Government
and those reserved to the Blates, or
to the people, and by a cautious ap
' preciation of those functions w- ich,
by the constitutions and laws, have
been especially assigned to the exec
utive branch ot the government. But
he who takes tue oath to-day to pre
serve. protect aud defend the oousti
tution.ot the United States, only as
sumes the solemn obligation which
every patriotic citizen, on the farm,
in the workshop, in tne busy marts
of trade, aud everywhere, str >u d

which prescribes this oath, my Coun
trymen, is yours The government

reasonable estimate of their fidelity

of Monroe, and of Washington, and

A due regard for the interna s and

that our financ* a shall be HHtabliehid

as shall e cure the safety and confi

ing the accumuladon of a surplus In

and waste.
Care for the property of the nation
and for the neeue of future settlers,
require that the public domain should
be protected from periling schemes
and unlawful occupation. The con
t'Cienoe of the people demands that
the Indians within our boundaries
shall be fairly and honestly treated
as wards of the government, and
their education and civilization pro
moted with a view to their ultimate
citizenship, and that polygamy in the
territories, destructive of the family
relation and offensive to the moral
sense of the civilized world, shall oe
tupressed. The laws should bo rig
idly enforced which prohibits the
immigration of a servile class to com
pote with American labor, with no
intention ot acquiring citizenship,
and bringing with them ana retain
Ing customs and habits repugnant to
oar civilization. The people demand
reform in the administration of the
government and the application ot
business principles to public affairs.
As a means to this end
CIVIL SBUVICE REFORM
should be in good faith enforced.
Our citizens have the right to protec
tion from the incompetency of public
emoloys who hold their places solely
as the reward of partisan service,
and from the corrupting influence of
those who promise the vicious
methods of those who expect such
rewards.and those who worthily seek
