Conference which aimed to open up fields of labor for the Local Preachers and it shows what can tie accomplished in any neighborhood with proper effort The Advocates The Western and Northwestern Chris tian Advocates made their appearance last week in new dresses and enlarged forms presenting a very handsome ap pearance The old price of $250 per an num is still retained notwithstanding the enlargements These are well conducted religious papers and should find theirway into every Methodist family within The Governor's Message ailing to spread this document before our readers last week as has been onr cus tom we must now coutent ourselves with giving a running commentary of the vari ous topics of which it treats We cannot do this better than by copying the follow ing from the Columbus Journal omitting what is said about State and local finan ces which was noted in our paper last week The message by the was an excellent one being confined strictly to matters of State: The Governor recommends an appro priation of $5000 for fish culture he al ludes to the evils of fast freight lines and other railway grievances recommending State or National interference recom mends that the contract system for con vict labor be abolished and the State take charge of the business directly recom mends more accurate and circumscribed penalties for criminal offenses which shall secure greater uniformity of punish ment for like offenses discusses the ques tion of a State Militia ordinance supply from general government and war claims recommends prosecution of ihe two per cent claims which passed the lower House in Congress by an overwhelming majority and was defeated in the Senate by only one vote recommends encourage ment of the Centennial Exhibition by ap propriation of $5000 suggests that Con gress should take charge of Confederate graveyard near this city now owned by private parties or in the absence of such action that the State government provide for its care warmly commends the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College to the Legislature and suggests the chang ing of one or both the old State Universi ties to State Normal Schools recommends liberal measures for the completion of the State Geological Survey and the utiliza tion of labors already performed gives a good word to all the State Institutions urging specially the early completion of the Central and Northern Lunatic Asy lums and finally closes with an eloquent eulogy of Thomas Corwin whose grave is marked by only a bed of myrtle urging the erection of an appropriate monument to commemorate his name and fame Some ten or twelve years ago but few people dreamed that the colored race would be represented in our national Congress Indeed it was used as an argument against the emancipation of the race that it would lead to that result and cause trouble in the nation But in the progress of events that down trodden people have a respectable representation in Congress and the white members accept the situa tion with commendable grace Last week a scene occurred in the House of Repre sentatives of rare occurrence Mr Steph ens of Georgia made a speech in opposi tion to the Civil Rights Bill in which the colored race are deeply interested He was followed by Mr Elliott of South Car olina a former slave and as black as the ace of spades who at once commanded the undivided attention of the House by the brilliancy of his intellect and the power of his oratory Clothed in the dignity of a freeman he was more than a match for the late Vice President of the Southern Confederacy What must have been the feelings of Mr Stephens under the scath ing rebuke this colored representative ad minestered to him we leave our readers to judge for themselves The following ex tracts from the speech of Mr Elliott will give the reader some idea of its force and power: the bounds of their circulation If any of our Methodist friends have not yet sub scribed for the Western Advocate we would advise them to go to their Pastor and do so at once They aflbrd to do without it The 215th Cattle Bale took place at Lon don on the 6th inst The day was unpro pitious being rainy and sleety but there was a fair attendance of buyers and sellers and over 600 head of cattle Over 500 head were sold at quick sales the best ranging something ov er 5 cents These cattle sales are a big thing in Madison where consid erable attention is paid to stock raising All attempts to keep up regular monthly sales in other localities in this region have proved failures The Republicans of New Hampshire held their State Convention at Concord on the 7th inst and nominated Gen Luther McCutchins a farmer of New Lon don for Governor and GP Conn of Con cord for Railroad Commissioner Mr Mc Cutchens is a working farmer who milks his own cows and works in his fields and there can scarcely be a doubt of his tri umphant election on the 10th of The Democrats met in Convention next day and nominated James A Weston their old candidate President Baez of San Domingo lias been forced to abdicate by the revolution ists When they appeared before San Domingo Baez seeing resistance was use less entered into convention with Gen Gonzalas stipulating that he should be allowed to leave peacably and that his Iriends should be permiittd to remain in the country unmolested Baez left in a rench man of war and the revolution ists entered the capital amid the acelamu the people By the following dispatch it will lie seen that one of our late Railroad men is in trouble The affair looks bad for Mr Sloan but we hope he will be able to imw a brighter side in his official record Chicago Jan 10 This forenoon in the Superior Court the Cincinnati San dusky Cleveland Railroad Company petitioned for an attachment against im properly of Rusli Sloan in Sandusky on a claim of $50000 for moneys received by him when acting as agent for the com pany The nomination of Air Wahle as Post master at Cincinnati has been confirmed by the Senate All parties in the city are not satisfied With the nomination Lynch Law in On ri day night last about 12 a body of forty or fifty disguised men entered the town of Greenville Middleburg county Ky and in a quiet manner marched to the jail aroused the jailor and with guns presented to bis breast demanded the keys of the prison The official remonstrated but be was peremptorily ordered to yield to the wishes of the crowd and being completely overpowered he finally ad mltted them to the jail The mob then proceeded to the cell of Dudley White (colored) charged with murdering Jona than Gossett the Sunday previous took him by force to a neighboring woods where lie was found hanging next morn ing Mr Elis an old and Jiighly es teemed citizen of Dayton died Vt ry sud denly of appoplexy at the United Brethren Church in Miami City on Sabbath eve ning last In former years we had con siderable buaineas transactions with him in the paper business At one time he was very wealthy but getting diahoneet associates into business with him be faiipd and died a comparitively poor man On the 10th inst a fire broke out at Helena Montana Territory which ie stroyed the greater part of the town a heavy wind blowing at the time the fire leaped from street to street with great rapidity The total loss is set down at $S5U which was very nearly covered insurance he storm last week prevailed very gen erally all over the country and was very disastrous in its effects in many sections The telegraph wires were badly damaged hy the sleet and ice While the honorable gentleman con tented himself with harmless speculations in his study or in the columns of a news paper we might well smile at the impo tence of his elibrts to turn back the ad vancing tide of opinion and progress but when he comes again upon ttiis national arena and throws himself with all his power and influence across the path which leads to the full enfranchisement of my race I meet him only as an adversary nor shall age or any other consideration restrain me from saying that he now offers this government which he has done his utmost to destroy a very poor return for its magnanimous treatment to come here and seek to continue by the assertion of doctrines obnoxious to the true principles of our government the burdens and op pressions which rest upon five millions of nis' countynnen who never failed to lift their earnest prayers for the success of this government when the gentleman was seeking to break up the Union of these States and to blot the American republic from the galaxy of nations Loud applause Sir it is scarcely twelve years since that gentleman shocked the civilized world by announcing the birth of a government which rested on human slavery as its cor ner stone The progress of events has swept away that pseudo government which rested on greed pride and tyranny and the race whom he then ruthlessly spurned and trampled on are here to meet him in debate and to demand that the rights which are enjoyed by their former oppressors who vainly sought to over throw a government which they could not prostitute to the base use of slavery shall be accorded to those who even in the darkness of slavery kept their allegiance true to freedom and the Union tSir the gentleman from Georgia has learned much since 1861: but he is still a laggard Let him put away entirely the false and fatal theories which have so greatly marred an otherwise enviable record Let him ac cept in its fullness and beneficence the great doctrine that American citizenship carries with it every civil and political right which manliQofl can confer Let him lend his influence with all fils mas terly ability to complete the proud struct? ure of legislation which makes this nation worthy of the great declaration which its birth and he will have done that which will most nearly redeem his leputation ii tbe eyes ofthe world and best vindicate the wisdom of that policy which has permitted him to regain his seat upon this floor To the diatribe of the gentleman from Virginia Mr Harris who spoke yester day and who so far traq ceaded the limits of decency and propriety as to announce upon tills floor that his remarks were ad dressed to white men alone I shall make no word of reply Let him feel that a negro was not only too magnanimous to smite him in fils weakness but was even chari table enough to grant hirp the rpercy of his silence Laughter and applause on the floor and in tire galleries I shall sir leave to others less charitable the un enviable and fatiguing task of sifting out of that mass of chaff the few grains of sense that may perchance deserve notice Assuring the gentleman that the negro in this country aims at a higher degree of intellect than that exhibited by him iu this debato I cheerfully cqmmeqd him to tiie commiseration of all intelligent mpn i he world over black as well as white meh Mr Elliott closed his able and eloquent speech as follows: The Holy Scriptures tell us of an hum ble hand maiden who long faithfully and patiently gleaned in the rich fields of her wealthy kinsman and wp are told further that at last in spite of her humble antecedents she found complete favor in his sight or over two centurjes our race has down your The cries and woes which we have uttered have into the ears of the Lord of and We are at last politically free The last vestiture only is needed civil rights Haying gained this we may with hearts overflowing wjth gratitude and thankful that our prayer has been granted repeat the prayer of Ruth treat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee for whither thou goest I will go and where thou lodgest I will lodge thy people shall be my peo ple and thy God my God where thou diest will I die and there wil I be buied the Lord do so to me and more also it aught but death part thee and applause Tim Inauguration being over it is ex pected that the Legislature will now go to work earnestly amt iinish up the business before it The Democrats are responsible for the business of the present Iegisntjjre and if they ate wise they will ppt lose sight of that responsibility and carry out their promised reforms The Constitutional Convention refused to adjounj for the Inauguration ceremo nies a' Columbus on Monday It is said that some of the members who attended the InfcUgtlraUon got drunk and disgraced themselves iWW 1 it milil'ST The Inauguration Ceremoniescame off at Columbus on Monday according to programme The day was fine but rather cold for comfort the crowd large the city presenting a hol iday appearance Everything passed off quietly and pleasantly and is pronounced a grand success We have only room to day for the closing ceremonies and the brief but excellent Inaugural of Governor Allen who was INTRODUCED BY GOV NOYES Hou Edward Noyes the retiring Governor then introduced the Governor elect in the following words: fellow citizens: I have thehon or to introduce to you a gentleman long distinguished in the country history and now called by the sovereign voice of the people to preside over the interests of our State the Hou William Allen Gov ernor of Great applause THE OATH ADMINISTERED Governor Allen arose to his feet facing Chief Justice White of the Supreme Court who administered the oath of of fice The Governor bowed low at bis af firmative response to the oath proposed by the Chief Justice and turning to Die audience proceeded to deliver the follow ing his INAUGURAL ADDRESS Gentlemen of the General Assembly: The events of October have made it my duty to appear before you and in your presence to take the oath prescribed to the Chief Executive officer of the State I have taken the oath and shall earn estly seek to perform the promises it ex acts At the opening of your session my pre decessor in his annual message submit ted to you a general statement of the con dition of the several executive depart ments of the Government He likewise made such suggestions as seemed to him necessary and proper If at anytime during your session the public interests should in my judgement require me to do so I wjll submit to you some additional suggestions in the form of a special message The Constitutional Convention now in session will no doubt complete its impor tant labors and submit the result for rati fication by the people during ths current year Should such ratification be obtained your next session will be one of extraor dinary labor You will then be required to revise the whole body of the general laws of the State and by appropriate modifications adjust those laws to the re quirements of the new Constitution or these reasons you may deem it un necessary to alter in any very material particulars the existing laws at your present session But there are some legislative acts which will I believe attract your imme diate attention These are the acts by which taxes are imposed and appropria tions made Even if you were now con vened under ordinary circumstances you would I believe feel it to be your duty to reduce existing taxes and appropriations for it is evident to all men tiiat the in crease of taxes and public expenditures has for some years past been much beyond the actual and rational necessities of the public service But gentlemen you are not now con vened under ordinary circumstances A few mouths ago that (indefinable but tremendous power called a money panic imparted a violent shock to the whole in dustrial and property system of the coun try Ihe well considered plans and calcula tions of all men engaged in active busi ness or in the exertion of active labor were sudenly and thoroughly deranged In the universal business anarchy that ensued the minds of men became more or less bewildered so that few among them were able distinctly to see their way or know what to do or what to omit even through the brief futurity of a single week All values and all incomes were instantly and deeply depressed There was not a farmer a merchant a mechanic ora la borer who did not feel that he was less able to meet his engagements or pay his taxes than he had been before The distressful effect of this state of things was felt by all but it was more grievously felt by the great body of the laboring people because it touched them at the vital point of sub sistance Many of these men were unable to flna mat regular ana remunerative em ployment so essential to their well being whilst some of them especially in the large towns and cities would have suffered for the want of the nutriment upon which the continuance of life depends but for that prompt humanity and charity so characteristic of and so honorable to the whole American people It is in the midst of this condition of things that you are now convened and it is manifestly the duty of the Legislature of the State to afford the nly relief which it has the constitutional power to afford by the reduction oi the public taxes in proportion to the reduced ability of the people to pay Yet this cannot be done without at the same time reducing the expenditures of the State Government down to the very last dollar compatible with the mainten ance of the public credit of the State and the efficient working of the State Govern ment under the ever present sense of ne cessary economy I do not mean that vague and mere verbal economy which public men are so ready to profess with regard to public expenditures I mean that earnest and inexorable economy which proclaims its existence by accom plished facts In the prodigality of the past you will find abundant reason for frugallity in the future I close these brief observations by re turning my thanks to the people qf the State for that expr ssion of their good will and pleasure which brings me before you I titanic you gentlemen of the General Assembly and our fellow citizens here convened for the respectful attention with which I have beed heard and I thank my predecessor for the courtesy and urbanity which he has extended ward me since pry arrival in thia city when for the first time I had fie pleasure of makipg his personal acquaintance THE INAL There was a tremendous applause at the close of the address and loud calls for Governor Noyes followed The crowd in sisted and the ex Governor finally re sponded remarking that he was the retir ing sun and that the crowd had heard the rising sun He expressed his thanksand resumed his seat amid applause Mr Potter then directed the Senate to return to the chamber where Lieutenant Gov ernor Alphonso Hart wa sworn in Mr Aljen proceeded tq the office where he met many friends The other State officers were sworn in in their re spective offices and thus ended the final inauguration cermonies During the re mainder of the evening the streets re sounded with the music of the bands Business in Congress is moving along slowly since the holidays In the Senate on Monday the Salary bill being consid ered an amendment reducing the Pres salary to $25000 after March 3d 1877 and also reducing the annual appro priations for the Executive Mansion was rejected yeas 13 nays 39 A substitute for the House bill repealing all increase of salaries except that of the President and Supreme Court Judges and declaring that extra pay covered into the Treasury should become the absolute property of the United States the same as though never appropriated was passed yeas 50 nays 8 In the House Mr Kelley offered a resolution declaring that if extraordinary means are needed for the support of the gpvernhient they shall be by loan and not by increased taxes was lost A reso lution offered by Mr Holman declaring thete is no necessity to increase taxation or the public debt that there should be eponiqpy In piibljp expenditures and that tie House will reduce apjjropriations anti expenditures to the lowest possible limit wa adopted yeas 221 nays 32 These Votes show the spirit of (be Jlotise on the subject of eeonojuy Ou the House concurred 226 to 25 in the Senate bill repealing the salary ap( of last Congress except that part of It relating to the President nd Supreme Court Judges TRANSPORTATION A Grand Scheme Tlie Work to Cost $175000000! In the House on Monday last Mr Hurlbut of Illinois introduced a grand Railroad scheme for cheap Transportation the leading provisions of which are thus briefly stated in the Springfield Republic It provides for the construction of a double track freight railway from New York to Council Bluffs with branches to Chicago and St Louis the railway to be constructed and operated by a corporation under the auspices of the General Govern ment and controlled by a board of Gov ernment commissioners the rates for transportation on cereals to be fixed at five mills per ton per mile for any distance over 750 miles the entire length of road being 1500 miles or shorter distances than 750 miles the rates are to be a little more than five mills per ton per mile The road is to be operated exclusively as a freight road for cereals stock and other productions Trains will move at the quickest but most economical rate of speed which will be at least ten miles an hour The cost of the road is estimated at $175 000000 including the necessary roll ing stock The government aid suggested is a guarantee of five per cent interest on thirty million bonds The capacity of the road will be sixty thousand tons a day each way The commissioners are to fix various rates of transportation and make suitable provision for the care and safety of the freight carried When the road shall earn beyond what is necessary for the payment of the interest on the capital stock and eight per cent dividend the rates of freight originally established are to be reduced At this time when economy and re trenchment are the orders of the day Congress will scarcely be prepared to adopt such a gigantic railroad scheme for fraud and plunder Tbe Chief Justiceship On riday last the President sent to the Senate the name of Hon Caleb Cushing of Massachusetts for Chief Justice of the United States The nomination occasion ed much surprise in all quarters and as tonished Mr Cushing himself who was making arrangements to leave for Madrid as the successor of Gen Sickles at the Court of Spain The nomination was re ferred to the Judiciary Committee which at once assembled and after consultation made a favorable report After some dis cussion in the Senatethe matter was laid over until Monday Monday passed without any action on the part of the Senate on the nomination and it is now believed that the confirma tion of Mr Cushing is very doubtful as only three Republican Senators favor his confirmation The chief objections are the extreme age (74) and the political status of the nominee It is hard to conceive what motive prompted the President to make this nomination unless it was the opposition to Mr Williams on the ground of his inexperience in public life That objection be urged against Mr Cush ing as his public career has been coequal with the existence of the Democratic party On Tuesday case was speed ly disposed of A letter he wrote to Jeff Davis in 1861 was produced and did the business Ohio Constitutional Convention Cincinnati Jan 13 1874 Messrs I have been into the Constitutional Convention now laborin in the Spencer House and I confess it is a pleasant place to make a Constitution and whatever people may think to the con trary I believe they are doing their duty and will do it well I find the new and amended article in regard to the Legislative Department laid on the table of the members to day It has some changes from the present Con stitution let me mention them: senators atm rcepresentatives are to be elected biennially Senators lor four years Representatives for two years their term to commence on the first Monday of Jan uary next thereafter No person holding or interested in any government contract under authority of the State shall be eligible to or have a seat in the Legisla ture The veto power is conferred on the Gov ernor if he approves the bill it becomes a if he disapproves it will require the vote of three fifths of the members elected to tlie General Assembly to pass the bill into a law over the veto of the Governor And this veto power may be applied to all or to any items of an appropriation bilk It provides for annual sessions of tbe Legislature You may consider this as settled and I think wisely The Judicial proposition is now under consideration and I believe will be com pleted this week When that is out of the way it seems to me the business of the Convention will go on to a completion rapidly I think the people will be satisfi ed with the Convert ion when it shall have submitted the result of its labors to them The Convention may adjourn by the first ot March After all there were not a great many members of the Convention that went to Columbus to attenil the Inaugural The boys went hut I guess the old chaps did not go Peter The Constitutional Convention is mov ing along slowly or several days past the Judicial article has occupied the time of the Convention On riday a motion to strike the words of from the article was lost by a vote of 60 to 26 The effect of the motion would have bet to abolish such courts On Saturday another point was settled by the decisive vote of 75 to 10 viz: to appoint instead of elect the Judges A provision to extend the term of the Judges to ten years was stricken out Thp select Committee on emale Suf frage reported a section giving the ballot to citizens irrespective of sex and recom mended that the question be submitted to a separate vote of the people Read once and laid over The ladies will scarcely submit to this separate vote unless they are permitted to vote on the question State air The State Board of Agriculture have fixed the 7th of September as the time for holding the next State air The next meeting of the Board will be held on tbe 17th of ebruary at which time the place for bolding the exhibition will be decided on In the meantime the Secretary will advertise for propositions from four or five of tbe larger cities of the State so that In the possible event of Columbus not meeting the requirements of the Board the fair wtll not be left out in the cold The common understanding is that Co lumbus is to be the place and we appre hend that those who have the matter at heart will permit no failure The Board will ask for tbe free use of suitable grounds comprising fifty acres or more with an accessible supply of water for cookiug pur posses and stock and $50000 per year or in lieu of tbe latter( the flVU' up the groqqda in such a planner as shall be ac ceptable to (he Board Columbus Journal The Columbns Journal of Tuesday with its usual
