Bards of music were evolutions when they flags flying from every flagstaff, and every-where, presented a gala-day appearance, the of entire city the dripping umbrellas and the spite the all-prevailing THE FIRST TO ARRIVE. The Cleveland Guards, a handsomely-uniformed company not belonging to the National Guard Organisation, were the first military company to step off at the dopot.

They were accompanied by the Emmett Guards, also of Cleveland, an fine-appearing body of men, and their misequally escort Lieutenant-Governor Fitch from don was to his home to the Capital. They came by special train, reaching here at night, and were quartered at Ambos' Hall. The Urbana Guards 1 and Lawrence Cadets, the latter from Betlefontaine, came in on the early morning train from Indianapolis, and were met at the depot by the Columbus Cadets and escorted to the armory of the latter, where they were quartered during the day. The third troop of cavalry from Shelby, Company of the Seventh Regiment, from Mechanicaburg, and Company of the Fourteeuth Regiment, from Marysville, were met at the depot at nine o'clock. Company G.

Seventeenth Regiment, from Newark, Company Seventh Regiment, from Springfield, and Company Seventh Regiment, from South Charleston, came in soon after and were escorted up town to the mfisle of three banta. After them came the Circleville Guards, Company Seventeenth Regiment, from Zanesville, and Company Seventeenth Regiment, from New When the noon train came in from Springfleld it bought the Duquesne Blues, a colored company, independent, from the Champion City. THE CINCINNATI BOYS Didn't get in until one o'clock, and the city was fairly alive with military companies before they got here. The Lytle Greys came in by the regular Pen-Handle train with three field pieces, which they took out to the east front of the depot and dred several funds as the civilians got off the cars and proceeded lup town. On the same train as the Lytie Greys Companies and Cof the Fourth Regiment, from Dayton; Company of the mme regiment, from Middletown: Company mine regiment, from Xenia, These last mentioned companies had been taken up at Xenia.

The train, londed as it was with soldiers and officers, and milItary frappings, served to remind one of the busy times the war, when divisions of the army were transferred from West to East or from East to West in trains or cars. an extra train came a Deputation from the Municipal Government of Cincinnati, accompanied by a large detachment of police. The Governor's Guard and the Columbus Cadets, both of them independent military organizations of this city, acted as hosts to the military, and escorted them from the depot to their quarters, and looked after their comfort while here. THE PROCESSION IMPOSSIBLE. to the miserable weather it was utterly imp.ssible to hold the inauguration ceremonies on the east terrace the Capitol, and so the proposed procession civic and military organizations WAS abandoned at the last moment, though the Lytle Greys, the two Cleveland companies, one of the companies, and one or two others paraded the streets with flags flying and bands pisging during the afternoon.

THE ROTUNDA OF THE STATE-HOUSE Had been decided upon as the place to hold the bi ceremonies when the out-door place was given up, and a platform had been erected for this purpose at the north-east side, directly under the picture of Perry's Victory. The Inanguration Itself Was a simple Heretofore, in pleasant wether the Governors have taken the oath of office oti the eist portico of the Capitol. There it was that the assembled thousands of the Democracy of the state with joyful hearts saw William Allen sworn as Governor. Two years ago, when Rutherford B. Hayes was sworn in for the third thine as Governor of the State, the weather was so inclement that the cesemony was performed in the Rotunda of the State-House.

There it was performed 10-day, though it would have been much more wat sfactory had an adjournment been made to the mote public place, as at the time the weather, though threatening, was not absolutely rainy, and thousands, who had traveled hundreds of miles to lee a Democratic Governor installed into office, were deprived of the pleasure because they could Dot gain admission into the actual scene of the ceremony, under the picture of Right Perry's Victory a platform about twenty feet square was erected, and it was on the platform that "Uncle Dick" took the outh of office. Surrounding it were a large number of chairs aud benches, upon which were seated the Governor's immediate family, his children, their children, and large number of his intimate friends and prominent persons generally. Though the time fixed for the inauguration was half-past two o'clock, yet for reasons fully set forth elsewhere It was long after three o'clock before Mr. actually made his appearance, and became Bishop the Governor in reality. Meanwhile the Rotunda so crowded with people that it was feared became for a while panic might break out which would endanger life.

Among the mass who filled the great circle was a latice number of rude and boisterous rumens, who and jostled with all their might, until the pushed mighty immense swayed back and forth like some concourse dissolution. headed monster in an the attempt throos was of made to have the proceedings come off on the by portion, Mr. but that the change of venue was opposed their kiusbip, Bishop's gotten reiatives, good positions, having, did by not virtue care of to From chances out among the common herd. take mu gallery leading to the statrways that comviewed icate the with the inauguration; Rotunda your correspondent and he must state that, 15. taken as a whole, more complete case of mummery he never saw.

After the crowd had pushed and surged and packed itself so firmly that it looked like a solid body, a flutter of excitement was observed to pass through it, and the next moment the cause of the flutter was seen to be the mounting of the platform by Governor Young, closely followed by R. M. Bishop, Governor-elect, and Jabes Fiteh, LieuGovernor Young was well received, but when the tall, manly figure of Uncle Dick was seen on the platform, the crowd could no longer contain itself, but broke forth in loud spplause. All three gentlemen were scrupulously dressed in the nobbiest of well-fitting black broadcloth. Governor Young wore dark kids, while those that incased the hands of the incoming Governor were dark steel gray.

Mr. Fitch wore his hands in puribus naturalibus. Mr. Bishop let Governor Young have the center of the platform, where there was a desk, and took his seat alongside his son-in-law, Rev. W.

T. Moore, of Cincinnati. After a pause of a few moments, Mr. Bishop arose and divested himself of his overcont, displaying as he did 50 an elegant silk bandkerchief projecting jauntily from the side-pocket of his frock coat. A8 800n 88 comparative order was obtained, Governor Young arose, and, in clear, resonant voice, introduced Mr.

Bishop in the following words: FELLOW CITIZENS: I have the honor to introduce to you the Governor-elect, the Hon R. M. Bishop, who now appears before you to take the oath of office and to enter upon the discharge of his responsible duties. His history as a citizen is a guarantee that be will do his best to execute the laws, and caretully use the high powers vested in him by the Constitution of the As soon as he sat down Mr. Bishop arose, and, taking from his pocket a number of printed slips, read from them his inaugural address.

I say he rend it. It would be much more correct to say that he attempted to read, for what with the noise and confusion, and the fact that his voice is none of the strongest, be was unable to make himself heard ten feet from the stand. Once he paused as if he contemplated abandoning the reading, and asking for time, to print his remarks; but he took a drink of water, and it gave him fresh heart, though he skipped one or two slips before he began again. Again he was compelled to pause, and this time man with stentorian lungs mounted on chair and shouted at the top of his voice on behalf of order. He might as well have talked to the winds.

Finally the inaugural was finished, and Mr. Bishop held up his right band and was sworn in by Chief-Justice White as Governor of the great State of Ohio, whereat the crowd cheered, whistled, cat-called and shouted Itself hoarse. Friends thronged around the new-made Governor to congratulate him: but I noticed that the first person to grasp him by the hand was Ex-Governor Young. In a few moments the crowd began to disperse, and in half an hour all but three or four hundred of its members had left the chamber. Governor Bishop's Inaugural Address.

GENTLEMEN OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY: In accordance with the usual custom, it becomes my duty, as the Governor-elect of this Commonwealth. to appear before you and in your presence to take the oath of office. And it becomes my duty also to call your attention to such matters as I may deem important to the best Interests of the State you represent. Happily, my distinguished predecessor has left me very little to do in this last respect. At the opening of your session, in his annual message, he submitted to you a comprehensive statement of the condition of the several Executive Departments of the Goverument, aud, consequently, all that is necessary for me to do now is to urge upon your attention those matters only which 1 deem of such grave Importance as to deserve very special mention.

Among the first and most imperative things demanding your attention is the present Guancial distress of the country. I am not unmindful that this is generally regarded as a National question, and consequently some may consider any discussion of it here a- quite out of place. Bat 8 little reflection may help us to see that this very view of the matter contributes largely to the distress of which we complain. It is a very common habit to refer our grievances to or uses as far from home as possible, and consequently our willingness to hold our National Congress entirely responsible for the present di ancial condition of the country is precisely what might be expected. But it may be worth while to seriously ask the question, Is this view consistent with the facts in the case? I certainly do not wish you to understand me as apologizing on behalf of our National Congress for any unwise or injudicious legislation, or even failure to give the legi-lation that is needed.

What I mean to say is, that our real and permanent help must come from economical living and judicious legislation at home. We must begin the work of reform in our own State Government. Hence I would earnestly call your attention to the importance of such enactments as will secure an honest administration and rigid economy in all the departmenta of our State service. In a republican governmentall civil reform must, for the most part; be the outgrowth of a virtuous and economical people- being, in fact, composed of the people's own immediate representatives -it should be your constant aim to set an example in the character of your legislation, such as will be worthy to be imitated by our National Representatires. When we heve secured for ourselves the right kind of record at home we can then hope that our influence will be potent in the higher councils of the Nation, in securing for the whole people that "retrenchment and reform" which, I am tho oughly convinced, must ante-date any permanently healthful condition of our financial affairs.

I do not wish to convey the idea that you will be able to successfully overcome all the evils of which the people complain, This I know is impossible; for the wisest legislation is at best but an expedient, and often tails far short of meeting the public need. Still, if this be true of the wisest, then it must be apparent to all, that inconsiderate and unwise legislation will only make matters worse instead of better. Hence. while I would urge upon your attention the importance of such legislation as will help to restore confidence in financial affairs, and bring activity and energy again to our business circles, I would at the same time warn you that this relief, must come mainly by instituting vigorous reforms, rather than by high sounding statutory enactments. Closely related to the matters already considered, is what is usually called the Labor Question, and which has recently been forced upon our attention with very decided emphasis.

In your deliberations you can not safely ignore this question. Hence hope it will receive most thorough and candid consideration. The proper adjustment of capital and labor has long occupied the most thoughtful attention of some of the wisest state and profoundest philosophers. And in a country like ours, where prosperity depend, so much upon thisadjustment, it is not strange that every ear est patriot should feel anxious to reach the wisest conclu-ions in reference to this important matter. It should be purpose, as far R8 possible, to avoid all distinctively class legi-lation; for, as a general rule.

this kind of legislation is ruinous to the best interests of the country. In fact, too much of it is one of the evils witn which we are at present cursed: hence you can not be too careful when dealing with such subjects A8 the relation of capital and labor; for no legislation that attempts to build up one of these at the expense of the other can possibly be productive of any substantial good to the people. And should the suggestion already submitted in reference to economy be carried out in your deliberations, then I am satisfied that very little, if any, legislation will be needed to restore harmony between capital and labor, and make them what they ought to be, and what they really must be if either is successful, hearty co-operants in af that relates to the material growth and prosperity of the country. I do not wish to consume your time on the present occasion in particularizing, since it will be my pleasure from time to time, with should I deem it necessary, to communicate you in special messages concerning matters which I can not now even hint at. But I feel that there are some things which ought to receive your immediate attention, and I therefore deem it proper to specify few of them.

The present condition of the Public Works should be carefully and thoroughly investigated. Recently there has been considerable of excitement growing out of the fret that the lessees these works have virtually repudiated their contract with the State. The matter has been submitted to the Courts for adjudication, and though a decision be reached day, still the whole submay ject is of such vital importance that you should not fail to give it full and candid investigation; not only us regards the contract referred to, but as regards what shall be done with these works for the future. Our State has rightfully given great prominence to the building and support of public lustitutions. In this respect we stand among the foremost; and of this enterprise in good works we have a right to be proud.

Still, all this has cost us immense outlays of moneys. But where judiciously expended these outlays ought not, to be regretted. But my information is such as to lead me to believe that, both in the building and management of these institutions, much might be saved to the public treasury. I certainly do not wish to restrain the public enterprise and benevolence which prompt the building and sustenance of these institutions, but I would, at the same time, heavily restrain that tendency to extravagance and waste which often accompanies the most generous and useful undertakings. In building houses for the institutions, I think a those proper intended discrimination for the should be made between poor and unfortuate and those which are for criminals.

It is certain right and proper to surround the unfortunate, as far as possible, with respectability and ewnfort; but it is very questionable poiito say the least, to offer a premium of these All cy, blessings to those who are criminally wicked. of sone be of these institutions would be better served should properly provided for; but the purposes if they were conducted upon the principles of more rigid economy than has. hereto fore characterised them. At any rate, I am satisfied that a close investigation, on your part, will discover the fact that in the future much can be saved to the public treasury without, In any way, detracting from the best interests of those persons committed to their charge. In reference to the prison system of the State, would call your attention to an important suggestion made by the Board of State Charities in its recent annual report.

The report recommends that another State Pris be immediately erected, with the capacity for not exceeding six hundred prisoners. This prison is to be a reformatory, in which the younger prisoners, and those not confirmed in the habit of crime, are to be treated with a view to their reformation. It is also recommended that District Work-houses, where every convicted criminal shall be compelled to work and earn his living, should be added to the prison system. These suggestions are worthy of serious considerI ations, and, if carried out, will test what has long TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15. 1878.

The improvement of the navigation of the Ohio River is properly the business of the General Government: nevertheless, it is a matter in which the it citizens of our State are deeply interested, been your habit to give some attention to it, as you should, during your present session, give such It is certainly consideration as its importance may demand. cable relations between the recently distracted ama cause for congratulation that portions of our country seem to be now entirely restored.

The people of this State cau not be indifferent to whatever will tend to preserve these relations and promote commercial intercourse with the Southern States. It is believed that the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, which bids fair to soon be completed, will prove an efficient agent in both of these respects, It should, therefore, receive your hearty encouragement, not only because of the high publie spirit which it represents, but also for the reason that it will assist, by bands of steel, to unite more closely ties of sympathy which now hold together the North and the South. The Registration Law, as passed by the last Legislature, proved to be not only inconvenient and troublesome, bus extremely expensive. It shonid, therefore, either be repealed, or so amended as to make it more acceptable to the people. There are as least three public grievances which should receive refer from to you the same preliminary therefore, treatment.

General Fitch is justly proud of the fine send-off which his friends and neighbors gave him. By the way, he made a very happy speech upon the occasion of his taking the Speaker's chair in the Senate this afternoon.

THE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION, By eight o'clock in the evening the Senate Chamber was filled with the beauty and chivalry of Ohio to welcome the new Governor. He was introduced to the people by Hon. Geo. L. Converse, who conversed in a very pleasant way concerning the qualifications of Governor Bishop for the high office to which be had been called.

He seemed to think that a benign Providence had reared Mr. Bishop for the express purpose of appointing Notaries Public and ornamenting, with hisstriking signature, the pardons of Penitentiary convicts. Governor Bishop then stepped forward and was wildly cheered. He made a brief but feeling speech, thanking the citizens of Columbus and surrounding country for the enthusiastic welcome he had received. He had expected something of a tropical nature in his greeting, but this exceeded his most sanguinary expectations.

Then an adjournment was bad to the rotunda, where an opportunity was afforded the people of shaking hands with the Governor, which they embraced. It was easy to locate many of the country people by the peculiar manner in which they shook hands with the Governor. A Hocking or Perry County man gave him an iron grip; Delaware County gave him Delaware grapevine twist; Licking, the great sheep growing county, gave the timid shake of 8 lamb's tail, while gentlemen of the purely agricultural counties grabbed hold of the Governor's hand as though it had been a plow -handle. The reception was a complete success. THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB RECEPTION TO THE GOVERNOR.

Between the hours of seven and nine reception was given to Governor Bishop by the Young Men's Democratic Club in the House of Representatives. This part of the evening's entertainment was presided over by John T. Gale, the President of the Club, while Governor Bishop and his family occupied a row of seats in front. Hon. George L.

Converse, who had been chosen to deliver the address of welcome, spoke as follow: "Governor Bishop, I am commissioned by the ION R. M. BISHOP timony, both oral and documentary, 80 as to ob- main a full and authentic knowledge of the facts; and after duly considering any and all plans that may be suggested, to report, by bill or otherwise, such amendments to existing laws as will cure existing evils This plan will furnish what the Legislature has not yet had before it, A thorough knowledge of the facts, and this knowledge, it seems to me, is all important before any legislation should be attempted on subjects of such vital consequence. I am especially solicitous that something shall be done in this direction to provide against the evils of our present system of Municipal Government. Our cities are becoming, more and more every day, great centers of social, commercial and politieal influence, and 89 they continue to grow in power and importance, the problein of their proper government challenges the greatest consider tion of the most enlightened statesmanship.

And not the least difficult feature of the problem is how to reach the best results without endangering the right of self-government? This, I believe, should be faithfully guarded, for no other benefit, however valuable, could possibly compensate for any material loss of this right. In concluding these brief suggestions, I wish to urge upon you the importance of making your session a short one. Go to work in earnest, give close and constant attention to the In tters with which you are intrusted. work faithfully for the best interests of your State and country. Pass such laws as are necessary, and avoid all superfluous legislation.

Let all you do be characterized by wisdom and prudence. And when you have accomplished your work, you can go home to your constituents who will honor you for your faithfulness and reward you for the manner in which you have maintained their best interests. And now I have only to add that I desire to press my sincere thanks to the people of the State for the distinguished honor they have conterred upon me in calling me to that high and important office, the responsibilities of which I this day assume. Believing as I do in your patriotism, and assured as I am that I shall have the hearty co-operation of your body in all my efforts to omote good government; and trusting to the guidance of an allwise and beneficent Providence, I enter upon my work not without hope that our mutual labors may result beneficially to the people we respectively represent. IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.

The Senate conrened at four o'clock, and Lieutenant-Governor Fitch was sworn into office in the Senate Chamber, after Governor Bishop had been inaugurated in the rotunda below. Judge White, of the Supreme Bench, administered the oath, in presence of the Senate. After taxing the oath he spoke as follows: GENTLEMEN OP THE SENATE: Having been called by the people to preside over your deliberations, I enter upon the discharge of my duties with some degree of diffidence. Having no experience in parliamentary deliberations, I shall ask for your kind co-operation and assistance. 1 shall endeavor 10 discharge the duties with fidelity and impartiality, hoping that the results of your deliberations may be for the best interests of the great State you rep- resent.

The Senate will now come to order and proceed with its business. THE OTHER OFFICIALS INSTALLED. The formal transfer of the Treasury took place at the Treasurer's office at one. o'clock. Major Millikin, the retiring Treasurer, accompanied by Mr.

Anthony Howells, the Treasurer-elect, proceeded to the office, where the books, cash and securities were handed over. The books show the accounts to stand as follows: General Revenue Fund, 838 85; Asylum, $112,999 30; Sinking Fund, 581 53; School Fund, $90,269 99. Total, $503,689 67. Cash on hand, $206.689 67; Auditor's drafts, $297,000. Total, $503,689 67.

The Attorney-General, Hon. Isaiah Pillars, was inducted into office by the retiring one, Hon. John Little, without any formality; while School Commissioner Burns went into the occupancy of his new office, being int oduced there by his courteous predecessor, Hon. C. L.

Smart. Fanning, the new Clerk of the Supreme Court, having been Deputy in that office, nee no introduction to its duties by his predecessor. Arnold Green was present to formally resign its duties. This ended the installation of the State officers, the only remaining one who was elected being Judge Okey, of the Supreme Bench, who doesn't take his seat till next month. SCENES IN THE EVENING.

The hotels and the streets in their vicinity were thronged with people in the evening; music floated upon the air from the various bands that bad remained over; many ladies were promenading with or without e-cort, and the bright and dashing uniforms of our citizen soldiers flitted here and there among the moving throng. A citizen soldier, BAy about nineteen years old, with an incipient mustache, and in a uniform that fits him, is one of the proudest institutions of which America can boast: and the more remote we get from the war that showed what soldering really is the more radiant our citizen soldier shines forth. About eight o'clock High street raw another sight. It was a conglomerate collection of soldiers, citizens and gentlemen of the brass band, armed mostly with tin horns, who went tooting along the sidewalks on serenading tour. They serenaded the Ex-Governor, 10m Young, who thanked them warmly from the balcony of the American House, tendering to each one of them the appointment of Commissioner to the Paris Exposition, subject.

of course, to the approval of his friend, Governor Bishop. Then they serenaded the State Journal office, and blew their horns so lustily at the front door that they blew Andy Francisco through the rear window before he could open his mouth to respond. I afterward saw them in the Capitol grounds, marching around the Capitol as though it was a modern Jericho that they had a contract to make tumble to the racket. The happiest man that I met during the evening wan Lieutenant Jaber W. Fitch, at the Nell This gentleman came down from Cleveland last night, accompanied by his friends, PRICE FIVE CENTS.

were invited into the house, where a fine been prepared for them. The boys were unbounded in their praise of Mr. Converse's hospitality. THE STORY GOES That General Durbin Ward, who was Bishop's most formidable opponent in the Convention when he was nominated, was intentionally snubbed by the managers of the Inaugural ball, and his friends are justly indignant thereat. Certain it is that he is still here, and furthermore that be was not in receipt of any invitation to take part in the festivities of the eveaing.

Whether he WAS intentionally slighted or not it is difficult to ascertain, but in either case the omission of his name from the list of honored guests was a most unfortuate blunder on the part of somebody, who had the job of making up the list. COMPLIMENTS TO GOVERNOR YOUNG. The Republican members of the Legislature presented the following memorial to-day to Governor Young: Hon. Thomas L. Young: WHEREAS, Your term of office has just expired, and as you declined to let your name be used before the last State Repablican Convention, where your party would have shown its appreciation of you by an expression in some measure adequate to your public services; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Republican members of the Sixty-third General Assembly of Ohio, feel it an agreeable duty to tender you, in the name of the Republicans of Ohio, this expression of our appreciation of your conduct as a public officer.

Elected as Lieutenant-Governor, your were discharged with a promptness permitting no public interest to suffer, and with an impartiality that won the respect of all parties. When called to the higher position of Governor of Ohio, the same statesmanlike ability, undivided attention to the duties of your office, and entire devotion to the public interests, have stood forth as the prominent traits of your official career. When the riots of July, 1877, convulsed the country, when alarm and distrust filled every bosom, you arose to the importance of the situation, giving your personal attention to all parts of the State where trouble might be expected, dealing with the grave situation with such prudence and wisdom that the storm rolled onward and refused to strike in this State. Your words: "I will not call for United States troops until every able-bodied man in Ohio has been whipped," inspired the people of the State with confidence that their Governor was master of the situation, We regret the expiration of your term. While knowing that your own tastes as well your interests incine you to the walks of private life, yet we can not but feel that your continuation there would be a public loss.

As members of your party from all sections of Ohio, we tender you our best wishes, and hope soon to know that your talents are again exerted in public duties. JOHN C. COVERT, Representative from Cuyahoga, CHARLES TOWNSEND, GEORGE W. WILSON, Gentlemen, I thank you." The Inauguration Ball. Senators sleventh Governor Young replied: "'Gentlemen, I can only shake your hands, and say I am profoundly gratifed for this expression of, sympathy from the Republican members of the Sixty-third General Assembly.

And while my heart is too full to say much, yet this much I must say: I shall treasure this document, not only for myself but for my children, as we shall feel proud to know that my Administration has been such as to meet your indorsement. The festivities wound up with a grand ball at the City Hall, which had been magnificently decorated for the occasion. The floor was covered with white muslin, which, though of course vastly inferior to a waxed floor, was still better than the ordinary one, as it tended to preserve the purity of the ladies' skirts and dresses. The stage was masked in thee large arches, formed of National shields, each one bearing a band on which was inseribed the name of a 8t te. Surmounting the center arch was a real American eagle, holding on his beak a shield and two American flags.

Over the eagle was the legend, and beneath it. half-curtained of large American flags, was a full-length portrait of Governor Bishop, bearing in his right hand a scroll supposed to be his instructions to the Senators as to the disposition they should make of Chauncey Newton, present Commissioner of Railroads and Telegraphs. At the back of the stage were more American flags. The stage itself was occupied by the Governor's Guards Band, which only numbered sixteen performers it should have had forty. From the ceiling of the hall depended immense festoons of red, white and blue, and the windows on the sides of the ball were curtained with more of the same patriotic colors.

Long loops of evergreens were artistically blended with the bunting. Between the windows were panels, each ornamented with a full length figure of a Muse; but as there were but eight of these panels it was at first thought that one of the tuneful nine must have gotten away from the artist, Phil Clover, but fortunately in the nick of time it was discovered that the portrait of Governor Dick was being made to do double duty, and stand for Terpsichore 88 well. The gallery-pillars were trimmed with evergreen, and red, white and blue; and the whole was lit up by five magnificent chandeliers and number of side-brackets. The tout ensemble was superb. and when the ball was filled by beautiful women and men it presented sight worth traveling a thousand miles to see.

THE TOILETS OF THE LADIES. At half-past nine the Governor's Guards were drawn up in two lines, just inside the door, and few moments later Governor Bishop and wife, escorted by Lieutenant L. R. Doty, entered. The "Hail guards saluted Chief" the Governor, the band playing to the as they passed by.

They followed by his son, W. T. Bishop, his wife and other friends. The Governor took up his position at the we-t side of the hall, where he held a levee, until all who wished were presented to him. and had an opportunity to take him by the hand.

As soon as the reception was over, the music struck up, and the ball began. It is still in progress, is acknowledged by all to be the largest and finest affair of the kind ever seen in Columbus. The attendance of richly-dressed ladies is simply remarkable. Among the most noteworthy of these were the following: Mrs. Senator W.

T. Forrest looked charming in a heavy cream-colored gros grain silk, cut Princess, long square train, trimmed with a shell flounce. The front of her dress was finished at the bottom with knife pleating, and a scarf edged with elegant silk fringe five inches deep; large bows on its sides, and cuffs on sleeves faced with pale blue satin; Duchesse lace at throat and wris; ornaments, dismonds and fresh flowers; white satin fan, painted in oil by Mr. Griffiths, of Cincinnati. Mrs.

Silas Hoffman, wife of the City Auditor of Cincinnati, was dressed in gros grain ashes of roses, trimmed with black velvet, vest and scarf edged with lace and deep fringe, and very becoming to her dark style of beauty; diamond ear-rings.

Sensational Stabbing Affray Chi-A Real Estate Dealer's Cowardly Assault Upon Senator Buehler. Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

CHICAGO, January morning, at fifteen minutes before ten o'clock, Senator Buehler, the well-known banker of Milwaukee avenue, was stabbed, it is feared fatally, in three places by Michael Marso, a real estate dealer, living at No. 906 North Wood street. The weapon used by the assassin was a hideous dirk, known as an "Arkansas toothpick." Marso met Buehler at the corner of Chicago and Milwaukee, avenues, whipped out his dirk, and, without a word, struck at his victim's temple, immediately over the left eye, inflicting an ugly gash. Buehler threw up his right arm, and also received the blade in the right arm, that member, being penetrated. In the tussle which ensued Marso plunged his weapon into the Senator's left groin to the hilt Station-keeper Schumann, of the West Chicago-avenue Station, came atonce upon the scene and arrested Marso while running across street.

Buehler was taken upstairs over his bank, where his son-in-law, Otto Peuser, resides. Drs. Schaller, Jacobs, Neve and Hessert were summoned, but they could give no encouragement as to, the probability of his recovery. Marso was locked up in the Chicago-avenue Station, but It was found necessary to take him through the back door to the -street Station, as threats of lyuching were many. The cause of the affair was the foreclosure of a mortgage.

Marso, it appears, borrowed a sum of money from Buehler three years ago, and mortgaged some property. Since that time Marso has never paid any interest. Buehler transferred the mortgage to a third party, and he foreclosed. This was considered sufficient provocation to Marso to kill Buehler. He says he went forth to kill him, stating to a reporter this afternoon that he ground his bowie-knife for this special purpose last night.

During the interview, when the reporter mentioned the fact to Marso that he and the wonnded man were about of equal age, he replied: "Is that so? We will make a good match yet; we have not had the end of it. As 8000 AS we get on the other side of Jordan, I will be up and after him again." During the interview Marso added that he had a wife and five small children: that when saw them going around in a poor condition, with the prospect of the house being sold over their heads, he became desperate. He had been trying to live an honest life, and when he found that he was to be sold out he thought that he would rather die than live. Marso was asked how be felt now over the matter of the stabbing. He got off of the bench where he had been sitting, walked nervously up and down the cell, and said that he did not know, and mumbled something more about hts not being able to see his home sold over the heads of his wife and children.

Marso is a Bohemian by birth. He is a stout, muscular man, of medium Leight. His face is not a bad one. He speaks English very well. Buehler is from Stuttgart, Germany, and came to Chicago in 1858.

He served several times in the City Council. In 1853 he became Secretary of the Union Insurance and Trust Company, and when this Company went out of business he bought the charter and continued as -a savings banker, in which bustness he had amassed a large fortune. Iu 1874 Mr. Buehler was clected to the State Senate upon the opposition ticket. After the dissolution of that party he again entered the Republican fold, where he has remained ever since.

HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO. The President Counsels the Colored People Against Emigration, Special Dispatch to the Enquirer.

The President embodied his views on the question in a brief letter to Mr. Sturks, of which the following is a copy: "EXECUTIVE MANSION, January 14, 1878.

"REV. MR. STURKS: Dear Sir- I have given some consideration to your question as to the emigration of colored people from Florida to San Domingo. I am not well informed as to the advantages offered by San Domingo to immigrants, but my 1m- pression is that your people should not be hasty in deciding to leave this country. The mere direrence in climate is a very serious objection to removal.

The first generation in all such removals suffer greatly. It is my opinion, also, that the evils which now affect you are likely steadily, and I hope rapidly, to diminish. My advice is, therefore, against the proposed emigration. Very truly, yours, R. B.

Kansas City, Missouri. KANSAS CITY, January terrible snowstorm has been raging out on the prairies, and passenger trains on the Santa Fe and Kansas Pacific bave been blockaded. Trains due in this city on Sunday were abandoned, but to-day the track is all clear, and trains are running on time. Young Men's Democratic Club, in their names and on behalf of the citizens of Columbus, without distinction of party, to extend to you and your family a most hearty welcome to our city. You will find them warm and generous friends.

All will seek to make your stay among us pleasant. In their names, then, embracing all classes of perple and all shades of political opinion, the Governor of Ohio- -who is not the Governor of a mere political party, but the Governor of all parties and all the people, and the Governor of the whole thrice welcome to our beautiful city. Little over half 8 century ago the place were Columbus stands was an unbroken wilderness. It nOW contains 50,000 people. Our population is almost three times as great as it was fifteen years ago We now have four separate railroad routes to tidewater- one by the Baltimore and Ohio, one by the Pan-Handle, one by the Erie and one by way of Cleveland and the New York Central.

In a few months we shall bave another road direct to the seaboard at Norfolk, Va. Our railroad connections with the great West, the South and with the lakes on the north. are equally good. Within easy reach of our iron arms, not fifty miles away, are the finest coal-fields in the world; and the deposits of aron-ore there furnish pig-iron at cheaper rates than it can be furnished any- else in the world. Our city is situated in the richest food-producing district on the Contiuent.

The examination of the statistics will show that the counties of Franklin, Pickaway and Ross produced more corn, wheat, pork and beef than any other equal area on the globe. Through the munificence of the State, in the erection of the Columbus Hospital for the Insane, we have the largest single building on the Continent, and I believe the second largest in the world, devoted to that use. Columbus is prosperous and happy-not SO much by reason of her five railroad connections, her proximity to the vast and profitable productions from the mine and farm, or the generous provisions the State has made for her punitive. reformatory, sanitary and educational institutitions; but it in mainly caused by her producers of wealth, her mechanics, her artisans, her skilled laborers and her enterprising business men, who have builded the city on a solid and enduring foundation. To them we look in the future for our prosperity and success.

In the name of these men with strong arms and warm hearts, I bid you welcome; and their sons and daughters, wives and sweethearts, have come here to-night, in their own proper persons, to give the welcome emphasis. I ask for them, so far as your convenience and time will permit, the honor of a. personal introduction and the privilege of toking you by the hand." Governor Bishop, in making his response, ascended to the speaker's stand. He said: "I thank you, and through you, sir, the Democratic Club and the citizens of Columbus, for the very hearty and cordial reception you have dered me. I have often heard of the liberality of -th people of Columbus, and have been here occasionally and visited you; and while I expected to be received in a cordial way, I must confess that this is more than I had any right to expect.

1 feel the responsibility of my position, and intend to discharge the duties of the office to the best -of my ability as Governor of whole people of Ohio. Let me, in conclusion, say to the ladies of Columbus that I am very much gratified with the cordial reception and courtesy extended to myself and family since our arrival in your The Governor WAS surrounded by his military staff, consisting Judge A Sam Hunt, Surgeon-General Burns, Aids-de-Camp Ralph K.

He said that he felt highly grateful to his friends; who had done so many gratifying things for him, for this additional evidence of their favor. He had known them so long, and been associated with them so intimately, that he felt the compliment all the more, coming from them. In their visit here they had done credit to the Capital City and honor to the Forest City, and he hoped they would hereafter be permitted to return on equally happy occasions. He would say no more at present, put merely introduce his friend, Hon. George H.

Pendleton. Mr. Pendleton, in response to the serenede, said: "My fellow-citizens of Clevel-nd: well understand that your presence here to-night is to pay compliment to Governor Fitch, whom we all know is so modest that he dislikes to take all of a compliment to himself.
