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 ebare with him. The constitution which prescribes this oath, my Coun trymen, is yours The government you have chosen for a time layouts; thesuffiage wbicti executes the will oi freemen is youis; tile lows and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meeilug to the State capitals and tiie national capital, is voura. Your every voter, us surely as your chief magistrate, under tue same high sanction, though tn a different sphere, exercises a public truat. Nor is this all. Every citizen OWES TO TUB COUNTRY a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public seivants and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fidelity and useiulness. Tuis is the people’s will impiessed upon th, wholeframe work of our civil i oi tv— municipal, State and federal—and this is the price of our liberty aud the inspira tion ot our faitu in the B-public. It is the duty of thoeeservl: g the people in a public place to close y limi. put lie expenditures to the actual needs or the government economically admin istered, beefluse this bounds the right of the government to exact tribute from the earnings of labor or the property of the citizens, aud because public extravagance begets exravi gauce among the ;>eople.

It is the policy ot ptaev HUitable to our interests. It is the policy of neutrality rejecting any sttare In foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents and repelling tneir intrusions here.

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 public employment hav> the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recognized, instea 1 of patty subserviency or the i urreudor ot nonest political belief. In the administration of a govern meat pl dged to do equal and exact justice to ail men there should ben pretext for anxiety touching the pro tection of freedmen in their right or their security in the enjoyment ot the privileges under the constitution and its amendments.
