Govtrnor Wilson and Rt.

Rev. Bishop Kain aded the column; Judge Johnston and Governor Jackson came next, and then the heads of the various State departments, Judges of the courts, city officials and members of Council followed, filling the balcony and extending back through the east corridor to the foot of the main stairway. When all had found places, Rt Rev. Bishop Kam stepped to the front of the balcony. looking out on thn large crowd of zees who had assembled despite the cold, and offered the following IRAYfcR.

"Altrigh Father in heaven, look down in mercy and abiding grace upon these, Thy servants, who put their trust in Thee. This day the country at large and this cou mon wealth invoke Thy special benediction Thanks to Thy mercy and goodness, 0 God, we are a Christian people, and as such recognize Thy greatness. and see Thy guiding hand in the diversity of our pnwperty. Thoa it is, 0 God, who ruleth all the kingdoms of the earth; from Thee cometh all power that supports them, and thus it is that upon this auspicious day we bow ourselves before Thee and invoke Thy Grant, 0 God, that they whom their countrymen in the past have honored rvtire to private life bearing with them the blessings of the people, and the knowledge that they have used to the best of their ability the powers eut rusted them, and may their successors in office bless the country by a wise administration of its laws, and the continuation of the great blessings ot religious and political freedom. We prav Thee especially, God, to bless tbe Governor of this State and the officers who have been selected to administer the government under him.

May they be enabled to discharge the duties of their various offices with integrity and fidelity. Bleis all the officers throughout the land, and may the country be continued in peace and prosperity uuder their direction. "These things, and thy blessing and guidance, we ask through oar Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen." When the prayer was ended. Governor Wilson came forward to the balcony rail, and in a clear voice read his inaugural ad! dress, as follows: IS AVOIR AL ADDRESS.

Fellow Citizins: That West Virginia is destined in the near fatare, to the prosperity and power ot a great State, is no longer problematical. It but requires that we be alive to our public and private dunes, prompt in the protection of our own interests, and true to ourselves. The kind band of nature has le't her mountains, hills and valleys, teeming with the most and valuable elements of wealth. Witnin no State or Territory of this no other area of 21,000 square miles, upon which the fcot of civilized man has ever to be tound such varied and exhaustless I natural resources as here harbinger the dawning of brighter and better days. Incomparable in these, she stands without a rival.

COAL. In the very heart ot the 58,550 square miles of the Appalachian Coal Field, we have 16,000 square miles within our own borders. Its many seams, King above water level, and exposed in the mountain sides in of places, can be mined cheaper than in anj other portion of thu matchless coal tract Recognized as superior to any other coals in America, with the exception of anthracite, they are of every variety necessary to the arts and manufactures. Although from causes, not now of difficult of solution, this unmeasnrable basis of wealth has, until the past few years, invited in vain the active energies of capital and labor. Yet breasting every obstacle with a steady and rapid progrets.

we not only rank, to-day, amongst the largest of the coal pro ducing bot, the employment of 6,400 persona in and about the and a production of 2,805,500 tons of coal for the tear 1883 being an of neativ 33 per over the next preceding year, the cheering and unmistakable assurance of the prosperity awaiting in this important business, if our people hat move with a firm and steady step tor their own protection and industrial safety. In ewry county throughout the range of this weadetlul coal farmatioQ art thoje iron "which belong to and are found ia the Appalachian coal ateaaom, consisting of brown oxidea, and black bands, and ia some places, nodular red while the whole tier ot counties lying east of the coal section, and along the entire eastern border ot the State, is within tha immense brown and red hematite belt of the Atlantic Commonwealths. TIXBKB. Near! two thirds of the State's surface is vet covered with the original forest, com- I posed in the main of hard woods of magaif- 1 cent growth and oak, poplar, walnut, cheny, sycamore, ash, chestnut and a size unsurpassed east of the Rocky mountains. SALT.

Dr. John P. Hale, probably the best authority in the State upon the subject, says: Rich as is West Virginia in coal, iron, timber, Ac she is scarcely less rich in that indispensable necessity to human health and comfort, and to animal fait. or rock salt has net been found in the State, but salt brines of greater or lets strength and in greater or less abun- dance, are tound by artesian borings, at greater or less depth, throughout the Ap- palathian coal held, which underlies the greater portion of our Add to these the agricultural, stock rais- I ing and wool growing advantages ot a geneiods soil and mild and healthful climate, and West Virginia offers the absolute guarantee of a fair and profitable return for brain, brawn and capital But why is it that, possessing all these splendid resources and natural advantages, located within easy distance of the Atlantic sea board, and surrounded by populous and thrifty States, our development has been so limited and retarded is it that capital, avoiding, bas turned irom us to seek investment in regions more distant and less favored? Why is it, that the tide of immigration has swept over and beyond us to a more western locality, to engage in the upbuilding of great and prosperous States Why is it that there are so few lateral railroads connecting with our trunk lines and reaching back into the interior of the State, to those fields of untold, yet, undeveloped wealth. There is a reason ior mese uuugs jusi certain as there is a cause for every effect.

Is it because we have not invited und pro tected capital The history of our legislation demonstrates the reverse. Is it because the immigrant has been offered no encouragement to choose his home amongst us? 1 he hand of a generous and hospitable people has ever been extended. Is it because ot uniriendlv railroad legislation? In no State of the I'nion can there be found such liberal, and even prodigal, as our statutes present, upon this subject. Ot the half dozen trunk line railways controll ing the internal commerce of the United States, between the East and West, two of Baltimore and Ohio, and the Chtsapeake and through our State. The one for nearly half a century and the other lor fifteen years, have traversed our domain.

With a full appreciation ot the extent of the statement, 1 declare here that the constant and unrelenting practice of these two com panics, by rebates, drawbacks and special contracts, in discriminating against our peop'e, in freight and passenger charges, in the interest of the Western States and Ter monts, tas done more to discourage immi aranrn, the investment of capital, the construction of lateral railroads into the interior, and the development of the State's resources, than all other causes combined, I assert, furthermore, that had they, in the I exercise of the franchises and privileges con- I terrtd upon them by the munificence of our law-makicg power, dealt with our people with simple even-handed justice, the State i of West Virginia would this day, be one of the most prominent of the States in populaI tion, wealth and material prosperity. hat encouragement do they offer to agricnlture in exacting from us from 25 to 50 per cent, more for carrying a car load ot grain from West Virginia to the Kastern market than from a Western State? What to the stock raiser in charging, for in stance, 10 for a ear load of cattle from i Ohio and $60 from West Virginia, to the same market? What to the manufacturer, with the same character of discrimination against him both Hast and What to the immigrant, when, added to these disad! vantages of location, he assertains the fact that immigrant tickets are not sold nor immigrant trains run for West Virginia, and if lie desire to stop there, on his journey from an eastern city, he is required to pay more than is required to convey him hundreds of miles still further West What to the capitalist's, who may desire to invest his funds in the construction of a lateral rail! road into the interior of this State from one ot these through lines, when he knows that, besides all these em! bargoes, the business of his road, if con' must continually be subservient to the will of the truuk lines, in the capricious or avaricious arrangement of freignt rates and charges'' Not only are these ruinous discriminaI tions made as against our whole people, in the interest of States east and west, but the same methods are applied to particular lo calities and particular persons, within our State, thus controlling, at will, the I entire business and industrial interests of the State. The turnpike has long ago ceased to be than a road for local travel and traffic railroads have become the real arteritseml highways ot State and continental I ixn-mfice. Thev occupy a position far joi.d the boundaries of mere private enter jiise hnd every consideration of public pol icy und the general welfare demands their rfgulation and control by just and reasonable laws. it is no longer a question wnetner tne State has the power to remedy these hurtful and pernicious evils.

The judicial mind bas reached forth and grasped the problem, in all its bearings, and declared, in unmistakable terms, that railroad corporations are created tor public purposes; that they are the servants of the people; that their roads are public highways, and that the right to control them and regulate their freight and passenger charges within, and in the absence of Congressional legislation, from points within to points without, and I from points without to points within, the I State, is a necessary sovereign power of government thu can neither be bartered I nor given away by State legislation. We may be told to wait for Congress to act. We have already waited many years, and relief is still denied. The House of Representatives, following the lead of the broad-minded, noble I and intrepid Texan, has again and again passed reasonable, just and salutary measures, only to suffer defeat in the 1 Senatorial end of the capitol, where the demands ot the public are seldom heard and corporate monopoly reigns supreme. This is no new subject to our people: they passed directly upon it in 1872, when by their vote I they declared by their constitution that I "railroads heretofore constructed or that 1 may hereafter be constructed in this are hereby declared pnblic highways, and shall be free to all persons for the transporI tation of their persons and property thereon, under such regulations as shall be prescribed bylaw; and the Legislature shall from time to time pass laws applicable to all railroad corporations in the State, establishing reasonable maximum rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freights, and providing for tbe correction of abuses, the prevention of unjnst discriminations between through and local or way freight and passenger and for the protection of tne just rights of the public; and enforce such laws by adequate penalties." Many have similar constitutional provisions, and have applied the statutory remedy without hesitation or evasion.

None need it so sorely aa we, as none are discriminated against so mercilessly. I stand by I his constitutional command in. its every line and syllable, and shall in the future, as I have in the past, give freely whatever assistance I can that it may be obeyed in letter and spirit We assure most iully every protection to railroad corporations that we secure tr ourselves; we would not them injustice in one single pacficuiar, nor place one obstade in the way of their legitimate sac- Of we will ever be encourage artist them in thtsir lawful undertakings, but, having given them corparate existence with all their powers and privi leges, for the our own citizens, we demand that our lands shall no longer be used as a meie pathway for the commerce of the that tbeir franchises shall not be applied as so many instruments to hinder our development and delay our prosperity; that our people shall receive the same consideration and fair deal'ng accorded to those of neighboring States; that there shall be no greater charges for freight or paraenger, for a shorter than a longer distance, in the same direction; and that for ail persons there shall be the same facilities, and the same price for like service, by the abolition and prevention of every species of I extortion and discrimination. We shall insist, triso, in common justice to all tax aying persons, natural and corporate, that the unlawful evasion of taxes by the Chesapeake ard Ohio and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad companies, so long and eo successfully practiced in the past, shall not be repeated, and that they shall pay tbeir taxes for the support of Government, State, county and fully and without compromise, just the same as all others are required to do. It is to be hoped, too, that our Legislature will enact such laws as necessary to effectually prohibit the distribution of railroad passes to public officers, and members of political conventions, concerning which this State has not escaped experience of an exceeding ly instructive nature.

FEDKRAL RELATIONS. But, fellow-citizens, weighty as are all the interesting questions relating directly to the material development and financial prosperity of the State, it is of vastly more importance to the great body of the people that our political institutions be preserved in all purity, simplicity, strength and vigor; aud, to this end, that we shall ever hold in view the self evident truths that "free government and the blessings of liberty can be preserved to any people only by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality and virtue, and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles;" and that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," as truly ana certainly in times of peace as when the lowering cloudB of war are obscuring the sunlight of freedom, the passions of man run mad, and civil authority has been subordinated to the iron hand of military power. Possessed as we are of the best form and system of government ever devised by the wisdom of man, or consecrated by patriot blood, so rests upon us the grandest responsibility ever assumed by any people to preserve inviolate the priceless inheritance, that it may pass from our hands as it came from the fathers, a blessing to posterity in ages yet to come. A reaerai uovernuieui iur rnjnai puiposes and State for home in unitj, by written organic law, all those specifically delegated powers of the respective States, indispensable in our dealings and intercourse with foreign nations, ami such other limited powers only, as for the general welfare are necessary to be exercised internally, the acme of the science of free government has been attained in creating the United States of grandest political organization upon tuce of the re to the people and to the re guaranteed against the dangers of centralization and consolidation, the inestimable and exclusive right of local sslf government. From the earliest days of colonial history until the present hour, the liberty-loving American, with an unchanging and unswerving fidelity, has maintained this re served right of local self goversment as the true, if not the only reliable and perfect safeguard to the institutions of our country.

It was for this that thirteen independent colo tiiep, with the free-offering pledge of life, cf fortune and of sacred honor, united in one common cause to resist a common danger, repel a common enemy, and establish the independence of these States, it was because of its jealous regard that the old articles of confederation were but "a rope of sand" and the constitution of the United States lay hopelessly stranded upon public dis favor, until the guarantee had come from almost every State from Massachusetts to the Carolinas (a guarantee that was prompt ly fulfilled by the adoption of the first ten amendments), that the omission of a bill of rights should be supplied, and all undelegated powers reserved by atlirmative declaration. The creation, by organic law, of three departments of judicial and as a bar rier against encroachment, providing that they should be separate, distinct and coordinate, was an immense advance over all other forms and experiments for the security and perpetuation of free government; but for afurtheraEdmore potential security, through the wisdom, the patriot ism and the love of human freedom that actuated, moved and directed the founders of the Republic, that vast residuum of undelegated power was carefully reserved to the States and to the people. That the Federal Government, con ceived, fashioned and created in and by delegated powers alone, should remain entirely within the sphere of its political action, as prescribed by the of the United States, is as vitally essential to the preser ration of our governmental system as thai ibeStahs should refrain from attempting a reclamation of those powers delegated and surrendered by the adoption of that instru irent. Upon this furdamental principle of local self aoverijirent rests the entire fabric of American institutions. Once destroyed, whether through the violence of civil com motion, or, possibly, the yet more dangerous, though insidious encroachments of legislative and judicial implications, and free upon this continent will cease to be, as as ambition is still aggressive; as surely as the history of recorded time presents no democratic or republican form of government that has sur vived the invasions of a single, central making power.

Imbedded in our constitutional history, and standing out in bold relief through the stern letter of the law, it was the plain object and parpose of the founders that there should oe a anion of States for the protection of States. io an American patriotism, as broad and deep as the love of human liberty, we C8n believe, with an unshaken and unfaltering confidence, that in the onward march of coming centuries, when star after star oi equal magnitude and of equal glory shall have been received into the radiant constellation, beaming forth in transcendent splendor trom the blue field oi the banner of the Republic, and millions upon millions more snail bave joined the expanding population of this broad laad, that there snail still be standing in imposing grandeur, this bulwark against monarchy and imperishable Union of imperishable a free press, free rprech, free conscience and a free people, under the blessings and guidance of the great Ruler of the Universe, shall have advanced the conquering ensign of human civilization to the uttermost possibilities of physical, mental, moral and religions achievement In such a trust, "Tbou, too, sail ou, of State Sail on, Union and great Humanity, with all its fears, With all the of future years, la baafing breathless on thy fate. And now, Mr. President, contemplating with unfeigned solicitude the duties and responsibilities of the high position to which I have been called, I am ready to take upon myself tbe oath of office Jndge Okey Johnston, President of the Supreme Conrt of Appeals, then stepped forward and administered TDK OATH OF OFKICR to the Governor, as follows: "Yon, E. Willis WiUon, do solemnly swear that yon will support the Constitution of the United States and of West Virginia, and von, E.

Willis Wilson, do further solemnly swear that yon will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor of West Virginia to the best of vonr ability, help you God." The new Governor was greeted with a dteer as the administration of the of office was concluded, and citizens flocked to the centre of tbe balcony from all sides lo shake him br the hand. Hie members of tbe retiring administration, beaded by ex Governor Jackaon, were the first to offer ihtir And for ten minutai an informal reception and general (-baking took place, which waa ended by thf Govt mi and attendant officials their way alowlv into the buildini I and alorg the corridors to tbe private apartment of the Executive, in (he northeast corner of the bnildiog. Entering tbe rooms to be occupied bj the Executive during the atay of the State Government in this city, the distinguished party, followed by several scores of State, county and city officials, a number of ladies, prominent citizens and representatives of the press, made its way to the Governor's office, where was to occur an event none the less pleasant because NOT rrox TUE PROGRAMME of the (Jay. The party having distributed themselves about the room, ex-Governor Jeckton was sent for, and on making his appearance Dennis O'Keefle, Eiq, ap proacbcd him and spoke as follows 'Governor me to beg your attention for a moment until I discbarge. a commission which affords me great pleasure to perform, and which, I hope, will afford you an equal pleasure.

It is a custom as old as civilization to attest our regard for a friend by presenting him with some memento or token. To this gift, from one of the warmest of your friends and admirers, there attaches a peculiar value. On one of the battle fields of Vir- ginia, in the straggle which tbe men of this generation alone remember, there shone a particular son of Virginia whom West Virginia particularly honors. It is fortunate that toe recollection of that strife has almost passed out of mind, and that we only remember the brave men and heroic leaders who took a part in it. These men will ever hold a green place in our memory, and among them is the son of Virginia to whom I referred.

From the comparatively hum ble home in which that heroic leader was born, the friend whom it is my pleasure to represent took a piece of t'mber, and from that piece of timber has been made the testimonial to be presented to you to-day. You have made many friends "during the years ol you administration, and among them there is no one who has a higher regard for your conduct, both in office and in private than the donor of this gift. "This is a most appropriate day on which to present this gift. It is the day on which the Democratic party takes charge of the general Government, and the day, also, which terminates your official career. Therefore, it will a peculiar historical interest in after years.

I take great pleasure, therefore, in presenting to you, from the Janitor of this Capitol, this token of his esteem and friendship." Mr. O'Keefle stepped forward and placed in Governor Jackson's hands a magnificent gold beaded cane, bearing the following inscription: "GOVERNOR J. B. JACKSON, "A Man Who Dares to Right, "from Janitor. "18(f5." Taking the cane in his hand, Governor responded as follows: Ladies and cannot accept the present bestowed upon me in such Mattering terms without a reference to the obligation that I feel towards the gentleman who has presented it, and to the high personal regard I have for the donor.

I have been associated with the latter gentlemen for the past four years, and an hear testimony that he has been a faithful and efficient officer, always ready to discharge his duties with promptness and thoroughness. My relations with him and the other state officers have uniformly been kind and pleasant, and in parting from him and them 1 hepe that whenever they may go from these walls in the pursuit of private business they may be prosperous and happy. I have now closed my official career, I have gone in and out among the people of Wheeling for four years, and I desire to here and now extend to them my most profound acknowledgment for their uniform kindness and courtesy. I will not only remember the donor, but the people among whom I have had the pleasure of living so long. Vou have said, sir, that this is a portion of the roof tree under which my distinguished relative vas born.

I had the lortuna to know him in my early days, and I can testify to his high character and Christian morality. He has gone, but his name will be remembered when mine has been totally forgotten. I will carry this cane to my home, and cherish it as one of the chief mementos of my official career. Again, I thank you." The cane, which is a very beautiful one was ordered from Ilebrank and was made in Philadelphia. While pleasing event was in progress the various heads of departments had been sworn in in their various offices, and the inaugural ceremonies came to a close amid general congratulations from all present.

The various officials soon after re-entered their carriages, passing, as on entering the building, betweeu the open ranks of the Jefferson Club, and were driven to their hotels, and the large crowd which had braved the keen March wind for over an hour rapidly dispersed. SKETC OK GOV. LIKE. Governor E. Willis Wilson, whose inau jural ceremonies are above detailed, is a oative of Harper's Ferry, Jefferson county, W.

Va. He followed his trade as a mechanic in early life and was employed in the Harrier's Ferry armory when a boy. He received a common school and commercial college education. In 1866 he 'ook op the various branches of a liberal education and the stndy of law at home, without an instructor, and was admitted tothe Jefferson couniy bar in 1869, where he continued to practice until his removal to Kanawha county, in 1874, Mr. tooK an active part in tne organization of the Democratic party in this State in and has since assisted in every canvass in the State.

He was a member of the House of Delegates in 1871, from Jefferson county. The Democrats having for the first time gotten control of the Legislature, set about removing the burdens of Republican test oaths and other prescriptive legislation. Mr. Wilson believed that there should a new deal all Constitution made in time of peace, all of the officers elected anew instead of waiting for the expiration of the terms of officers then holding and who had been elected when fifteen thousand citizens were disfranchised. Mr.

Wilson took an active part in the passage of Senate Bill No. 79, entitled: "A bill to protect persons who aided in the late war between the government of the United States and a port of the people thereof." He also showed a lively intereat in all the remedial legislation of this session to rid the State of the prescriptive legislation of previous Republican Legislatures. He was elected to the State Senate from Je fl ergon, Berkeley and Morgan counties and served in the session of 1872, commencing in January. At this session the bill to revive the James River and Kanawha Canal Company, whose property, franchises and privileges had forfeited to the States of Virginia and West Virginia, after having passed the House, was defeated on its third reading, the last day of the session, by Mr. Wilson getting the floor and speaking the session out.

'1 his saved the Kanawha rirer to improvement by Federal Government, and over a milion and a half of dollars have already been appropriated for that purpose. Having removed to Kanawha, Mr. Wilson was elected to represent that coantv in the House of of 1877. At session be offered a resolution requiring the Judiciary Committee to report a bill to protect miners in the tall value of their labor and the free ose of their wages, against the merchandise check This bill was reported and passed.
