1 THE ENQUIRER. CINCINNATI TUESDAY JANUARY 10, 1882. in the case he was then considering," brought Judge Porter to his feet with an indignant reply that the charge was false. Scoville retorted his opinion of a man who' sat on the same Bench with a Barnard and a Cardoza should not be received with much consideration. Judge Porter, with even more vehemence, reiterated that the charge of the counsel was absolutely false; that Judge Davis never eat ou the Bench with either of the gentlemen named.

"If an honorable member of the Federal Judiciary is to be pat upon trial here, I demand," said Judge Porter, "that the record be produced here apon which this base charge is made." Seville insisted suited that when Police a Court style of were proceedings best troduced here by the prosecution, be should comment upon them an deemed Atting. He should not be frightened by the tragic utter. ances of Judge Porter. He had heard the same notes years ago from owls at night in the woods of Ohio. Guitean laughed, and called out sneeringly, "That's a very fine speech, Mr.

Porter." Davidge protested that not five minutes had been devoted to the proper scope the ment, and the Court warned the counsel that they must abstain from personalities. Scoville concluded his argument at ten o'clock, and, in conclusion, desired to make a few remarks of a personal character. Allude 1ug to his controversies with Judge Porter, he disclaimed any intention to transgress the bounds of propriety or the rules of practice but be should criticise the conduct of counsel when it merited criticism, and the threats of the prosecution would not intimidate him. Citini the custom of counsel upon the other side of bowing to the jury upon entering, ville said: "Sometimes it is three bows ail around, sometimes more -never less than three. It has never been done by counsel upon this side, and I do not hesitate to criticite the propriety of it." Judge Porter- -The gentleman is simply instancing his lack of politeness.

If he has no apology to offer, I shall certainly not apologize for Recess. After recess Corkhill stated that he bad not expected to speak on the legal points, relying apon the assurance of the defense that the question of jurisdiction would not be raised, but us the last two prayers of the defense distinctly made that issue, he felt it. his duty, as prosecuting officer of the Government, to address the Court upon a question to which he had devoted much carefal consideration. He then proceeded to read from printed -slips su exhaustive argument upon the subject of jurisdiction. The argument occupied the attention of the Court one hour.

Davidge then addressed the Court upon the general propositions contained in the prayers. "I do not deem it necessary," he began, -to advert to the question of jurisdiction at this time." wise decision," piped in the prisoner. which he said, in its legal sense, Davidge then discussed the question of meant the intentional doing of a wrongful act. Mr. Davidge discussed seriatim the prayers of the defense, and pointed out "the sophistries and inconsistencies." object of the prosecution." he said, "is to obtain from Your Honor a plain, clear and direct ruling upon four distinct propositions, The apparent object of the defense has been to befog all that may be clear in this care, in the vain hope that they may get to the jury with some 1211- certainty attached in some way on the case upon which to build a plea for acquittal.

Why. Your Honor; in the course of titirty years' practice I have never seen such A prager as this one offered by the defense. It Das no justification; it has no excuse. We don't want obscurity in this matter--we want light. We don't mean to let this prisoner escape in a cloud, but we want from Your Ronor a clear and perspicuous ruling, so that tweive average men, sitting upon the jury can not possibly go astray." Davidge severely handled the eleventh and tweifth prayers of defense, and characterized them as mean attempts to cast aspersions upon the experts who had testified for the prosecution, and upon counsel for the prosecation themselves.

The prisoner followed the argument with the closest attention. and indulged in frequent and noisy comments. Duvidge concluded his argument at five minutes to three o'clock. Court then adjourned until to- morrow morning, and Judge Porter will make the concluding argument immediately upon the opening of Court. after which Judge Cox will render his decision.

Bismarck left the chamber while Rechter was speaking. The rescript excited much comment in the lobby, where it was regarded as a signal either of tinpending dissolution of the Reichstag. or the introduction of disciplinary measures against public officials. The Reichstag will reassemble in the spring, when it will discuss the tobacco monopoly.

His Second Inauguration as Governor An Event Which Did Not Come Up to Expectations, Pen- of the Chief Executive at the Age of Fifty Years, Together With His Career as a Politician and an Organizer. Columbus Mud of Extra Quality Interferes With the Proceedings, And Renders the Day a Sorry One for the Boys in Blue.

The Inaugural Address, the Oath of Office and the Prayer. General Andy Hickenlooper Makes Room For Lieutenant- Governor RichardsOther New Officials. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. COLUMBUS, OHIO, January Foster has entered upon his second term as Governor of Ohio. In point of popular demonstration the inauguration has been the tamest affair of the kind since the war.

The day was made in heaven, for the angels in charge of the weather department swept the sky clear of clouds, and the sun shone as warmly as in early April, but the mud used on this occasion was made in 'Columbus, and the Capital of Ohio and its Street Department challenge the most primitive village in the world to enter upon competition as to the quantity and quality of mad. It is strained in either particular. A large crowd was anticipated, but the people failed to come. The Democrats did not come because they never like to attend politdeal funerals, and the Republicans did not come, possibly, because their party is undergoing the agony of reconstruction, with the Ohio man left out and the Stalwart on top, and the camp-followers hardly know which sun to worship. The early morning trains brought very few people beside the militia.

During the day there were not five hundred strange people in town outside of the gorgeous militiaman. The indifference of the people at the organization of the Legislature, and at the Installation of the officers that guide their judicial affairs and guard their treasury, is. hard to explain. The demonstration of the militia was. made a separate show, and as a result, the inauguration of the Governor was a very sinall side-show to the big entertainment.

One marked feature of the general indifference manifested was the almost unanimous absence of members of the Legislature. Outside of the members of the Inauguration Committee there were not twenty members present. The Judges of the Supreme Court, with their wives, and the members of the Curtis Press Club, disguised the platform with respectability and encouraged the Governor with their presence. A number of carringes had to stand half an hour in front of the Capitol while members were drummed up to proceed to the Governor's Mansion and escort His Excellency to the State House. The Democratic members of the Legislature, who are too scarce to hurt, but are useful for filling in, volunteered to martyr themselves, and even then several carriages wentaway empty.

General Andy Hickenlooper tells a good one on Speaker Hodge that ought not to be lost. Governor Foster saw that Hodge was drifting on to the rocks in making up his Committees, and sent for the Speaker for a consultation about the Committees of the House. He urged the Speaker not to jeopardize the foture of the party by ignoring and puuishing Dr. Scott. Speaker Hodge is credited with mlidly informing Governor Foster that he knew his own business, and probably could attend to his duties as Speaker if would attend to his as Governor.

The drst carriage contained Lieutenant Governor Hickenlooper, Lieutenant Governor-elect Richards and Speaker Hodge, and 8 seat was reserved tire Governor. A negro on horseback followed this carriage out state street. When it are rived at the Goveroor's Mansion, the old Judge Swayne house, the three gentlemen went in and notified the Governor. While he was putting his coat on, Speaker Hodge satd: Governor, we were followed out here by a very mysterious man on horseback, and I am Hot sure bat that he means 10 assassinale yon." With a merry twinkle in his eye, the Governor said: Speaker, from what I have heard and seen in the last few days, think you are the man the assassin is looking for." A hearty peal of laughter greeted this sally, and Hodge looked like the chief mourner at a funeral during the rest of the day. When Senator Palmer, as Chairman of the Inauguration Committee, got behind 1 badge that looked like a banner of a secret Society and opened the exercises, the rotanda was far from being full.

A thousand people would cover the number present. There was prayer, bat with the miserable of the rotuuda, praying, however eloquently, But was like casting pearis before swine. as the minister might have been praying to God instead of the audience. it probably got find through full all the right. Those interested can it in in ENQUIRER.

The Governor, without although a man apparently made up nerves, seemed a littie nervous. He is fifty and in the prime of life, and in the flower of his vigor and mental powers. He is perhaps five feet ten inches high, solid and massively built, weighing may be one hundred and eighty pounds. He looks like a good feeder, a good sieepet and a man of temperate organs, with 'habits -I glass mean of a claret man and whose digestive a a Mumm's at a meal, would set joyously to the work of disposing of a big dinner. His hair is as black us jet and a little thin on top.

A aark and handsome beard surrounds the portion of his face, and his countenance, with the flashing and eyes, has 8 frank and pleasing expression. As he stood there I could not but recall his successful career in was politics. Twelve outside years ago Charles Foster known of Dis county? Defeated for Senator in those rock-ribbed counties of Democracy, Seneca, Wyandot and Crawford, wus his introduction into polities. Nothing daunted by defeat, he made politics a business, carried the details of organization into his own canvass and twice carried Democratic district for Congress when few of his friends felt there was the slightest chance of success. He forced Hayes to take the Governorship to keep him from running for Congress, and thus opened up the way to the White House for Hayes and fraud.

At Cincinnati the cross-roads merchant defeated the great jurist and. Ex-Attorney-General, Judge Taft, for Governor by organization and two votes. Twice elected and inaugurated Governor, nothing but a Democratic majority in Obioand nothing now seems more improbablewill keep Foster from being the next Senator to inee on succeed the ticket Pendleton, with or the Blaine in Republican 1884. nom- During these years of marvelous political activity he bas been actively engaged in numerous business transactions, and has been generally successful. His ambition bas grown with his success, antil this calico-trader, who once would bave been satisfied with a seat in the Ohio Legislature, now dreams of political greatness in the night, and can arise and look the bright and dazzling sun of the Presidency full in the face without winking an eye.

Thas is success the meat that feeds and fattens the Ohio man's vanities, hopes and ambitions. The Governor's Inaugural Address Was brie and dry, He never ventures far from the ground in his attempts at oratory, and therefore never bas far to fall. He read it hastily from a. proof, and in a voice that but Yew could hear. His laudation of his own Administration was hardly in good taste, and after having denounced and reprimanded a portion week of the State officials in his Message, justo old, he might have omitted that paragraph congratulating the people on the honesty and Vigilance with which every State official was doing his duty.

With one lying in jail, on his way to the Penitentiary. and others being believe investigated, the people will hardly all the Governor's inaugural congratulations are honest. It was notable that the little applause that rippled through the corridors was started by ine Democrats. The oath of office was administered by Chiet-Justice Okey, the last lingering Democrat in the State-house. As the tall figure advanced, and his solemn tones were heard pronouncing the oath, a train of reflections crowded upon the mind.

Here was the Chief- of the third State in the Union administering the oath of office to three millions of people, and descendant of a man who less than three centuries since stood apon a scaffold in London to answer with his life for the death of a King, and refused a last speech by the roll of drums. John Okey, the The regicide, was an lived ancestor of Judge family have in this State since the birth of: Ohio, in Monroe County, and three generations have prodaced sons distinguished in the land. After the Inauguration of the Governor the chief interest centered in the Senate Chamber, where Lieutenant-Governor Hickenlooper, after two years' arduous laber, retired, beloved by all, and was succeeded by Lieutenant-Governor Richards, who twenty years ago came from Wales, a friendless and unknown boy. He has seen eight years of honorable service in both branches of the Legislature, and will make a good President of the Senate. His speech on assuming the gavel, in rebuking absenteeism, is courageous.

It will find approval in the people's hearts, who will ery Governor amen to its manly sentiments. Foster has been extensively advertised to appear on 8 cream-colored horse, and the people crowded the streets to see this gorgeous spectacle, but he did not ride a horse. He took a back, Colonel thanks to the herculean exertione of Charles Moore, who early discovered a conspiracy to dismount the Governor, and thus humiliate him. There are numbers of Stalwart Republicans in Columbus who bitterly dislike Governor Foster, and they concocted the scheme to discomfort His Excellenes, The cream -colored Horse belongs to Theo. Comstock.

The groom who has the horse in charge was bribed with a twentydollar gold-piece to ginger the horse, or fix him so he wouid pace violently and walk on his front Insurance legs, Fortunately Colonel Moore, this Commissioner, discovered conspiracy, and saved the Governor with carriage. PICKAWAY, OUR REGULAR SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE COLUMBUS, ONIO, January -The Inauguration of Charies Foster for his second term as Governor of Ohio took place to-day under the most favorable circumstances. There was not the usual interest taken in the proceedings of the day, and the attendance. of visitors, cluding the military and all other organizations, WAS less than afteen thousand, while it was two or three times that two years ago. At Foster's drst inauguration the weather was exceedingly inclement, but the people were out en masse all parts of the State.

It may be that the omen of to-day is better for His Excelfrom lency. His first term has been characterized with contests and trouble that were foreboded in the storms on the day of his induction into office. There was then a change in the political complexions of the State administrations, and in making new appointments for the whole machinery of the State the Governor made many enemies, who have since the breezes of opposition. In that kept up which came in with storm and Administration, freezing, coldness, he failed in the contest for the United States Senatorship, and in his fall aspirations there was." This morning the for Cabinet position, "what sun a came out with as clear a radiance over the Capital City as ever it did on of the inaugura- brightest summer's morn. In the history in Ohio a more pleasant day, was never tions known for the occasion.

It was the more appreciated as the past bad, four days have been very Inclement and disagreeable weather was expected. It the nature, destiny of therefore, has any thing to do with under Calico Charlie, he starts out this time far more favorable auspices than he did two years ago. The gods have smiled on him at the very time that the Temperance Republicans wanted him rebuked. It is noticed in the record of Ohio inaugurations that little interest is ever taken when a Governor is sworn in for his second term. He is then no rising sun.

There is no change whatever in the personal or political complexion of the Administration, and the ceremonies are gone through with as a matter of form, without any significance whatever. During the night the city authorities had cleaned the streets along the line of march, and it was pleasant both under foot and over head. In the morning hours martial music was beard about the streets as the local companies did escort duty from the depot on the arrival of visiting organizations. These compaules were escorted to their respective headquarters and did nothing till they had their dinner and got ready to take part in the afternoon parade. The military display was far short of what was expected.

The heroes of the Ohio National Guard remembered how they waded about in the snow and slush here two years ago, were nearly frozen to death. and had only three courses for their bills of fare; and they do not care to expose themselves to the great danger of the elements again. Then they participated in the Garfleld obsequies at Cleveland last September, where they had to endure exposure to the rain and weather; and more than one service to the State per year is too much for the militia. What the parade lacked in numbers and length, however, it made up for in style and good order, and those who did participate deserve the more credit. The Fourteenth Regiment has its head-quarters in this city, and it was not out in full.

The company at Delaware is less than an hour's ride from the city, and it was pot here, and so with other companies outside the city. It is said that on Saturday night when the organizations took their fual vote about coming the rain was pouring down, and the boys thougbt it would last till Monday, and that it would not pay to take the chances on the weather. Cleveland turned out well with a splendidly equipped battery of artillery. the Cincinnati did nothing. Colonel Hunt.

of First Regiment, came up with his deld staff, but no troops, and they paraded brilliant uniforms and glittering oruamenisoniy. Oneof the first displays of the official cortege was long line of carriages in front of the Capitol in the morning, which conveyed the Committee on Arrangements to the Governor's residence, at the head of Oak street, and then escorted His Excellency to the Capitol for the inauguration. The carriage which bore the Governor was drawn by four black steeds, profusely arrayed with decorations, and the carriage was elaborately arrayed in clusters of bunting. on arriving at the Capitol, this party was at once escorted to the Senate Chamber, where the members of the General Assembly, State officers, Judges of the Supreme Court and others were in waiting. The different functionaries and prominent guests then fell into line and proceeded to the large platform in the east niche of the rotunda.

Among the ladies on the platform were; Mrs. Justice Lougworth, Mrs. Justice Johnson, Mrs. Justice MeIlvaine, Mrs. Justice White and daughter, Mrs.

Lieutenant-Governor Richards, and the wives of Senators and Representatives. The' Legislative Committee ou Arrangements, consisting of Senators Palmer and Hagan. Representatives Snyder, Graham and Hopkins, occupied front seats, with Governor Foster in the center, Lieutenant-Governor Hickenlooper on one side and Lieutenant-Governor-elect Richards on the other. 'The rest of the platform was occupied by Judges of the Supreme Bench, State officers, members of the General Assembly, ladies, members of the press and others. The front part of the platform facing the rotunda was profusely decorated with buntipg in various designs, coatsof-arms of the State and of the Union, groups of battie-flags of Ohio regiments.

Was the first inauguration that has taken place in the rotunda since the portraits of the Governors had been hung in that open space, and these made the occasion very impressive. There were the faces of all the men who had been.in the Chief Exectave's chair in Onio. Directly opposite and looking down into the platform were the traits of William Alien, Thomas L. Young and R. M.

Bishop. To the right of this Was a pyramid of old Governors, all of whom are dead, and beneath the pyramid stood the broken floral column that rested on the Garfield catafalque at Cleveland. Between the Bishop and Young portraits was another pyramid of portraits of old Governors who are gone, and among then Was that of Tom Corwin, whose eloquent voice was heard once upon Inauguration Day. On the right hand of the stage WaS the Jones statuary of the surrender at Vicksburg, with the portraits of Dennison, Tod and Brough, the three War Governors, hanging about large shield that was taken from the Garfield catafalque. On the left was the Powell painting of Perry's Victory on Lake Erie.

The old hero of the sinking ship seemed to be pointing his finger at those who were speaking from the stage. The surroundings were very impressive to the large crowd that filled the rotunda, the corridors and the stairways, but dull to those cooped up on the rear part of the stage. General Hickenlooper was as composed as could be as he surveyed the large throug, and no doubt called to mind the day when he had his effects packed up last March to come here and assume the duties of Governor; but the lamented Prestdent did not dnd it convenient to make the General as lucky as Tom Young WAS four years ago. Richards sat there looking at the of Charlie Anderson, Tom Young and other lucky ones, but he could see no Senatorial election or Cabinet contingency ahead for next two years, and, therefore. had little hope that a portrait of his pleasant face would ever adorn those walls.

The old dome of the Capitol seemed grander and nearer the skies than usual, and to be conscions of solemnity and importance of the occasion over which it spread shelter. The place, with its thousands of faces, presented a different appearance from that which is seen by the daily visitors who come to look at pictures and beauty of architecture. While the attendance of the day generally WAS not equal to former occasions, still there was jam everywhere. The State-house WaS crowded all day, and when the parade wastinade in the afternoon it was found that there were thou- sands of people on band after all. The pleasant weather, however, brought the people of the city out from their homes en masse.

Senator Palmer, of Cleveland, was master of the ceremonies, and first introduced Rev. A. U. Hirst, pastor of Town-street M. E.

Church, who made a fervent and eloquent supplication, as follows: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, the heaven is Thy throne and the earth is Thy footstool. From evelasting 10 everlasting Thou art unchangeable in all Thine attributes of King, wisdom, justice, goodness and truth. In Thy supreme power Thon hast ruled the Nations in the ages past, and crowned the lives of Thy creatures with Thy loving favor. To them that trust in Thee Thou art a sun and a shield, withholding no good from them that walk uprightiy. Accept our sacrifice of and thanksgiving at this hour.

We praise Thee for the manifestations of Thy infinite love in our individual lives. We thank Thee that we enjoy in the blessings of civil and religious liberty this land of freedom, our birth, home and -place. We gratefully acknowledge that under the shield of Thine omnipotent power we have been protected as nation; that under Thy fatherly care and wisdom we have been safely guided through the years that have been full -freighted with sorrow and traced with the scarlet paragraphs of blood. "Great God, our guardian, guide and friend, 0 still Thy sheltering arm extend; Preserved by Thee for ages past, For ages let Thy kindness last." We trustfully invoke Thy blessing upon us at this hour. As citizens of this great Commonwealth we have come to join in the inaugural services of the For the prosperity herein of our State and the advantages afforded through the educational and religions agencies, we offer Thee the gratitude of our hearts.

We thank Thee that Thou hast preserved the life of Thy servant, the State's Chief Executive, until this hour. We thank Thee for the peace and harmohy that have prevailed during his term of office. In reassuming these duties and responsibilities we pray Thee to guide him by Thy truth, sustain him by Thy grace, that under his wise administration our State may throb with new life and new power, such as will culture manhood and womanhood for a blessed eternity with Thee. Give him favor in Thy sight and in the sight of the people. Graciously direct all who are associated with him and to-day by solemn oath assume the duties of their offices.

Mercifully guide those who are now assembled to legisiate for the state. May wisdom and right prevail in all their plans and decisions. May the legislative voice of this State boldly challenge vice and intemperance: way legislative power banish them fully until purity, and righteousness shall prevail in all our borders. These favors we ask for Christ's sake. Amen.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Governor Foster was introduced and received with loud applause and hearty cheers. His address was short, and would have been far more impressive had it been delivered, but he read it from manuscript. It was grand occasion for an orator. There were people every- Where about the speaker.

in the passage ways, on the stair-wlys, points of the building, and the silver word of perched here and there about the elevted eloquence would have sounded with ten -bld impressiveness. The occasion was almost enough to resurrect Tom The Corwin Governor, from bow- the dead colors of the artist. ever, read well, and spoke as follows: GENTLEMEN OF THE GENERAL ASSEMEY: Called people, I for the appear second before you to take the 4th time by the favor ofthe of office and to enter upon the dischare of the duties of the Chief Executive of the State. Though saddened has and befallen afflicted the by the Amertan torible calamity that I people in the foul and brutal assassination of the President, we are not unmindful ofthe fact that, under the Providence of Almigty God, we meet at a time when all of our and in: dastries, agricultural, manufacturing mechanical, and business highly enterprise graity- of all are in ing ity: when our mineral resources now condition of activity and properimportant and of profitable transportation development; when ceptibly labor is in increased demand with inimproved, increased and cheapeled; creased compensation; when our publi institutions are intelligently and economially. administered; when the officers charged vita.

conducting the affairs of the State are apable, faithful and economical; when our pore than three and quarter millions of pople are prosperous and contented, and, in heir respect for and obedience to the laws, nake our State the peer to any on earth. This is but a faint outline of the pleasant picture of the condition of our people -acondition which is the natural outgrowth of the system of free government upon which our grand civilization founded. The Sixty-fifth General Assembly begiis its labors under these most favorable auspices, and I doubt not that public expectationwill be met by the intelligent and promu discharge of the important trusts confidedto its care. Having within the past few days preented in my annual message such subjects a were deemed especially important, it is uutecessary now to subinit any further suggeitions for your consideration. Enlightened by the experience of thepast, with a better comprehension of the olligations, responsibilities and duties of the office of Governor, 1 shall enter upon the disclarge of them, in the trust newly confided me, not the more confident of my ability fill the full measure of all that may be required, but with the purpose of devoting myself althfully to the obligations I am about to asume.

The usual oath of office was adminisered by Chief Justice Okey, of the Supreme Hench, after which those on the stage congratilated the Governor, and the audience dispirsed. Those on the stage, however, at ouce required to the Senate Chamber, whither a large (rowd followed. street parade was the event of the afternoon, and it was a great success atte all. The procession was well strung out, miking a line nearly a mile long, but there were about twelve hundred men in line. Owing lo the late arrival of some of the troops it was bared earlier in the day that this part of tie exercises would be a failure, bat it turned put to be one of finest displays of kind ever given in the city.

Along the line of narch there was some display of flags, but no elaborate decorations. The procession formed on Friend street, and it was three o'clock before it moved The companies all carried their banners, and every color that could be raised was displayed. There was a very liberal scattering of bands and drum corps through the line, and the march was made with much blaster. coming down High street in the following order: Platoon of police.

Adams. of the United States Army, stationed at Washington, were among those that stood by the Governor on the Grand Stand in the Statehouse grounds during the review.

The briglit suulight added much to the brilliancy of the The uniforms were all fresh and clean, and, whlle the display was not the largest ever given here, yet it was greatly admired and gave general satisfaction. Much of the success of this part of the programme is due to Colonel Axline, Assistant Adjutant-General, who took special interest in the arrangemenis for the procession. THE LIEUTENANT Early in the morning both branches of the Legislature assembled as usual. The House did nothing but 'read its journal and adjourned till to-morrow.

The Senate did likewise, but took a recess till after the inauguration of the Governor, when they were to assemble for the purpose of inaugurating the new When the party of officials returned to the Senate Chamber, Governor Foster was seated on one side of the prestaing officer. General Hickenlooper, and the Lieutenaut-Governorelect, Mr. Richards, on the other. The Senators and members of the House were inside the bar, while the lobby was crowded. The Prestient, Lieutenant-Governor Hickenlooper, called the Senate to order, and said: SENATORS: The time has now arrived for She introduction of my successor.

I thank the Senate for its uniform kindness and sideration toward me while in the discharge of my duties as its presiding officer. I congratulate ID successor, Mr. Richards, the and I congratulute the Senate upon being about to have such an excellent, able and experienced President. Mr. Richards was then sworn in by Judge White.

of the Supreme Mr. Hollingsworth offered the following resolution, which was adopted. Yeas, 21; nays, none. Resolved. That the thanks of the Senators to the present General Assembly are due, and are hereby tendered to Governor Hickenlooper for the kind, courteous, impartial and able manner in which he has presided over their deliberations.

The Lieutenant-Governor, Hon. Rees G. Richards, then delivered the following inaugural address: ADDRESS TO SENATORS. SENATORS: It devolves upon me by virtue of the Constitution and law of the State to preside over the deliberations of your functions honorable body. In assuming the and responsibilities of the office, encouragement may I not of confidently anticipate the your generous support and the exertion on forbearance your part of so much of patience and as will compensate in some degree for the shortcomings of the Chair? It shall be my henest endeavor to merit your approval in the performance of any offcial duty, and to win by sincerity of purpose your confidence and respect.

You have, I. learn, adopted certain rules for the government of this body. Allow me to suggest that each Senator acquaint himself with the requirements of the rules, so that of we may which have a reasonably strict observance them, will aid muteriatly in the proper trunsaction and dispatch of business, and will secure Senntors in the exercise of equal rights and privileges upon this floor. As it is the of evident all purpose and certainly the plain duty interests- us to serve the State time and care call for her attention to what, -per- in mit me at this to opinion, is the great and principal source of needlessly protracted sessions of the Genmy eral Assembly, and of much haste and 111- digested legislation. I refer to absenteeism of members of the General Assembly.

An examination of the records of will past disclose General the fact that a large per cent. of the members of Assemblies for many years both branches during the session spend little more than one-half of the time in their places within these halls, being present only two or three days of each week. It has become rather the rule than the exception that but a few more than a quorum of members are present for the transaction of business on other days than Tuesday, In the mean Wednesday time and Thursday of each week. a few apparently unimportant measures are passed and routine work is accomplished until the time rolls around for the absent ones to return, and a sufficient number are present so that bill can be risked upon its passage. Then comes undue baste for the three days mentioned; bills are crowded through, rules are suspended, and every barrier against hasty legislation 18 persistently removed.

'The chronic absentee generally has two or three "little bills" that be must put on their passage at once. That done, and Friday morning comes; private business is again in great jeopardy at home or elsewhere, and he must go, but will be back. on the following Tuesday; and so on week after week and month after month, and the teneral Assembly adjourns in one hundred and ten or one bundred and twenty days, having accomplished what might have been better done in two-thirds of the time. The expenses to the State thus unnecessarily incurred, and a decent respect for the rights of others, should be sufficient reasons for correcting the evil of absenteeism. Senators, as to the subject calling for legislative action at this time, it is not my province to The Governor's excellent message da full of valuable and timely, suggestions, that with the guidance of your own wisdom and patriotism I doubt not will accom plish that which will meet with the approval of the people.

I am now ready to proceed with the bustness of the session. Senator O'Hagan, from the Committee on Inauguration, announced that the Committen. with a 3ndze of the Supreme court, would at once repair to the office of the State Treasurer to swear in that officer: thence to the office of the Attorney-General 10 administer the oath to him. The Senato then adjourned until to-morrow. OTHERS SWORN IN.

The oath of fice was administered by Chief- Justice Okey.

The office was crowded at the time. The crowd" next appeared at the office of the Treasurer of State, but it was found that Mr. Turney had filed his bond, been commissioned and sworn in some time. ago; so no ceremony took place there, and Justice White. who was assigned this part, had nothing to no.

Justice Nicholus Longworth is now serving out the unexpired term of Justice Boynton, and will take the oath of office for his term of five years February 9th; Mr. George Paul, member-elect of the Board of Public Works, will on the same date qualify as his own successor. With these two exceptions, both of whom are in their respective offices any way, the new State Adninistration is now in full blast. NOTES.
