The day set apart for the inauguration
qf ,a new- Governor came in cold, rainy
and thoroughly disagreeable. - This may
account in a large measure for the fact
that the crowd of out-of-town visitors
was much smaller than had been expected
by the managers!.of, the; occasion Still
there was- a fair, crowd in attendance, and
the streets of Uie busy city of Atlanta
for it time took on a holiday appearance.
The procession formed one Whitehall
•street, opposite Trinity church, about
10:30.and shortly after 11 o’clock, moved
down. Whitehall to Alabama, up Ala
bama to Broad, up Broad to Marietta,
down Marietta to Pryor, thence up to’
Peachtree- to the intersection of Forest '
avenue, where the infantry came to a
halt. The Governor’s Horse Guard, com
manded by Captain John Milledge, pro
ceeded out 'Peachtree to the. residence of
the late Walter S. . Gordon,, corner. of
' Peachtree ’street and Ponce Be Leon Cir
cle, where they"halted and. saluted Gov.;
Gordon as. he entered a carriage drawn by
four horses. Hon. W. Cl. Glenn, mem
ber of the House from Whitfield, and
■Senator Janies 8. James, of the' Thirty-
sixth district, occupied scats in the car
riage With Governor Gordon. The pro
cession then moved down Peachtree to
the capitol.
Arriving at the'capitol, the infantry
formed on Marietta,'opposite;'the build
ing; and the Governor’s carnage, followed
by ihe Confederate veterans, in command
of Col. Lovio.k P. Thomas, tlie Govern
ors- Horse Guard hud the Hill 'City
Cadfets of Rome,'Captain. Charles Coth
ran in command, Who arrived at II
o’clock, moved up Marietta street to the
entrance.
The streets were lined with people who
cheered lustily as the procession moved, ■
and Governor Gordon,: .ever and anon!:
rising in his carriage and lifting, his hat
in acknowledgement.
After the address Chief Justice Jack-
son admini-tere 1 the usual oath of office.
The President handed to the Governor
the great seal of the State,’ who in turn
entrusted it to the custody, of the Secre-‘
tary of State.
President Davidson then proclaimed
the Hon. John B. Gordon Governor and
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the State of Georgia for the,? en
suing- two years. 1 .
When the ceremony was over quite a
number of. distinguished personages
gathered around Governor Gordon and
expressed their congratulations. Con
spicuous among these: were ex-President
Haves, who shook him warmly -by the
hand and complimented the inaugral ad.-
dress.
Immediately the joint Session was dis
solved, and as soon, as the Senate retired,
the House adjourned.
.On the-putside,. on Marietta- street, be
tween the capitol and the custom house,,
a large crowd gathered to witness, the:
last of the military display. ' But they
were doomed, to disappointment,- The
rain had dispersed, the. military and driv-
en the band to. its:; quarters. Still the
crowd waited until 'the carriage, drawn
by four white horses,- which had been
standing for some time waiting for the
Governor, was _driveh rapidly-away, and
the. platoon of mounted police followed.
' The occasion came to an end without
display, and all went iioiue in the rain,
and with little ceremony. 1
The Governor’s Horse Guard scored of
grand success in the dining given by that
command to the local military ; and the
State troops who took part, in the inau-
gial exercises. ,
The dinner,was given-in one of the
stores in the Brown block, on Wall,
street, opposite the depot. The. three
floors of the store were used, and Tong
tables were, placefi in them. * The seating
capacity of the three floors was six hun
dred, and while the feast was in progress;
every chair had an occupant.
The grand military ball at the Kimball
house was one of the most brilliant af
fairs of the kind ever given in Atlanta.
The Kimball, at 0 o’clock, was in a
blaze of light. Every floor of the arcade
was illuminated. The ball room never
looked more beautiful.
The guests, who began to arrive at
9 :30 o’clock, were so numerous that they
not, only filled all the ball room,-but they
filled all the floors of the arcade and
many of the adjacent halls. The uni
forms of the soldiery added much to the
brilliancy of the scene, as also did tho
magnificent toilets of the ladies. It
looked as if everybody was present.
Hundreds of noted public men of Atlan
ta and other cities, mixed with the throng
and lightly whiled away the hours as if
no grave questions of state had ever
vexed,, them or would ever vex them
again. .*
^he military feature was not 'brilliant-
but .creditable, and the few military .or
ganizations winch acted as an escort ol
honor attracted attention and admiration.
The Goyernor-elect and his escort reach
ed the capitol at 12 o’clock.
Long before this time the galleries
were packed, the flair sex being present
iu large numbers. Many ladies occupied
seats on the floor of the House. Among
these were the. wives and daughters ol
State officials, ...
The doorkeeper announced . in a loud
and imposing voice that the-joint com
mittee and the Governor-elect awaited
the pleasure of Ihe General Assembly.
The president ordered that, they be ad
mitted. The party entered in the fol
lowing order:
General Gordon, . escorted hv Senator
James;; chairman: of,theSenate commit
tee.
Governor McDaniel,, escorted by Mr.
Glenn, of. Whitfield, chairman of | the
House committee.
Ex-President Rutherford B. Haves, es
corted by Senator Butts.
Prof. Francis. Whalev, of Yale,, ex-
Lieiiteuant-Govcrnor of Connecticut, es
corted by Hpn, Morgan RaWls, of Effing
ham.
Following these were the.State House
officials, United States Senators Joseph
E. Brown and Alfred 11. Colquitt, judges
of the Supreme Court,. of the , Superior
Court, and ©x-judges of both courts.
V Governor McDaniel and the ’Governor-
elect were seated to the right and left of
the President. ,«
The ceremony was opened by an elo
quent prayer. &g
President Davidson then said: “We
have assembled for the purpose of inau
gurating the Governor-elect of the State ;
of Georgia, the Hon, John B. Gordon,
of the county of DeKalb. I have the
pleasure and the honor of presenting tc
the General Assembly the Governor-elect,
Hon. John B. Gordon.”
General Gordon arose, and taking posi
tion just in front of the Speaker's desk,
facing the audience, delivered the inau-
snvral - address.

NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
THE SOUTHERN STATES
ENGRAVING AND PRINTING.
The Annual .Report of tlie Chief of the
Bureau.
Mr.: Graves, chief of the - Rational
burea,u of engraving and printing has
made ids report of the operations of the
bureau during the last fiscal year. There
were finished and delivered during the
year $26,655,496 sheets: of securities, 1 in
cluding $4,977,248 of United States
notes, certificates, bonds -and national
bank notes;, amounting in value-to $663,-
606,290.: Tlie expenses of the bureau
during the year were $703,208, or $201,-
987 less than for the preceding fiscal
year,, and less than any year since;, 1878,
The amount expended for salaries was
$6,483 less than - the appropriation, pud
the amount charged to the .appropriation
fo’r laboT and expenses was $176;36A. : -less
than the amount appropriated, making
the, aggregate . saving $182,785, which
will be returned to the - treasury unused.
A large share of the saving is due to a
decrease in the work produced, but at
least $123,000 may fairly be set down to
the credit of economies which hfiye been'
made in thCTnadagement

A Contraction of Flfty-Etelit Millions III-
evitalile.
It is stated on authority in Washington
that the opinion given by the attorney-
general as to the unavailability of the
called three per cent bonds as a basis of,
national bank circulation will make no
change in the attitude of the treasury de
partment, because this opinion only con
firmed the rule heretofore followed.
Banks have sho\vu considerable diligence
in acting under this rule, and in conse
quence of it they have withdrawn from
deposit and presented for redemption
nearly $40,000,000 of three per cent
bonds since the 12th qf August, the date
of the. first $10,000,000' call. At the
same rate hereafter, it is expected that
withdrawals will keep pace very fairly
with future calls.
Against the $40,000,000 three per cent
bonds withdrawn; there have only been
about $8,000,000 of other bonds deposit
ed,. so that the total bonds on deposit to
secure national bank circulation have
been .reduced by about $81,000,000,
which contracts the circulation by' about
$28,000,000. If these proportions are
preserved throughout the changes result
ing from future calls of three per cent
bdnSs, there may be further contraction
of about $58,000,000 by the time these
bonds are withdrawn. It is said at the
treasury that this contraction in the vol
ume of national bank circulation will not
be felt in the channels of 'trade, because
the national bank notes withdrawn from
circulation will be replaced by disburse- ,
mails from the treasury; and in addition;?
banks that surrender bonds and reduce
their circulation receive money for ten
per cent of the bonds redeemed, and five
per cent of the circulation surrendered,
making fourteen and a half per cent up
on the face of the bonds. On the 12th
of August the total amount of three per
cent bonds held by the banks, as a basis
for circulation, was a little more than
$108,000,000, so that when these bonds
are all paid their payment will put into
circulation fourteen and a half million
dollars more than the amount of Currency
then outstanding on these bonds. The
iedemption of national bank notes is a
a very slow process. The last" report of
the treasurer showed that he was holding
$60,000,000 lawful money for the re
demption of outstanding bank circula
tion, and of course a more rapid surren
der of -Circulation larger will be the
amount required to be held in the treas
ury until the people choose to send the
notes in and take lawful money instead.

SOUTHERN RATES-
.'iie Basse nger Fools Fixinfir the Brices of
Tickets.
The Southern passenger ; association
and representatives of lines in the Chica
go and Ohio river pool, have finished the
wintgr tourist rates to points in the
south. A resolution was passed to con
tinue the regular excursion rates from
Chicago and points in the northwest to
Florida and the southern winter resorts.
The rate to Jacksonville from Chicago
will Be $25.46.. Last year’s rate was
$30,35. Commissioner Slaughter, of the
Southern Passenger association, was au-
ihorized to designate what the rate to
the other southern points should be.
The question of making reduced rates
for a special excursion to meet the com
petition of the southern California lines
was discussed at some; length, but it was
finally decided to defer this subject for
future Consideration.
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO EXPRESS.
It 13 rumored that the Baltimore and
Ohio express' company has at last suc
ceeded in reaching into the. southern ter
ritory by a Contract made with the Queen
and Crescent route for me transporta
tion of its ears over the entire line of that
system. The Baltimore and' Ohio people
have for many years been making an ef
fort to reach* southern territory, but
failed until recently. The contract of
the Adams company with the Queen-and
Orescent road expired Rovember 1st,
and the Baltimore and Ohio people im
mediately made a bid for the franchise,"
If true, this scoop wilt prove an impor
tant piece of news for fruit growers in
this.: Section. It will give the growers
competitive rates for the transportation
of produce, and will especially enhance
the. value of the strawberry interests that
have recently grown so extensive.

construction of a new building to flank
the Smithsdnian' building on the west, as
the present building flanks it on the east.
The new structure is held to he an im
mediate and pressing necessity, in view
of the lack of room for exhibits already
on hand. The materials prepared for
display are packed in cases, jars and other
receptacles in cellars^ crypts and garrets,
and a small village of unsightly wooden
structures erected from linie to time for
special purposes is packed with rich ma
terials which.remain untouched. Proba
bly a hundred tons of exhibits inherited
from the centennial exposition* compris
ing artistic bronzes, tiles, porcelains and
a thousand Varieties of typical handiwork
of foreign countries, remain in the orig
inal boxes in which they were -shipped
from Philadelphia ten years ago. Were
the new building ready for occupancy
to-day, its entire space would be taken
up at once with selected objects already
prepared fob display, and .current acces
sions are sufficient it is said to fill a good
sized museum every year.

“Yes; dear, fairly well.”
“Didn’t find; a man under the bed
when you looked for him last night?”
“No, dear.” ^
“And -you didn’t hear any burglars
about the house?”
“Why, no, dear.”
I thought you didn’t,’;’; he replied,
with a sarcastic,, smile. “You didn’t
Avake me up once to go down stairs to

“I have them, my dear.” . . ’
