HON. J. D. CAMERON
The reelection of Hon. J. Donald Cam
eron, as a Senator from Pennsylvania, on
Tuesday last, by such a handsome majority,
was a just tribute to a worthy and careful
public servant, and with the Harrisburg
Telegraph we believe that the people of
Pennsylvania will never have cause to
regret it. Ile has served just long enough
in the Senate to establish his high quali
fications as a legislator, his broad capacity
as a statesman, an 1 his fidelity to every
trust confided to him as the upholder of
certain well defined political principles.
On questions involving Republican princi
ples, Senator Cameron's convictions are
deeply rooted, and his resolves inflexible
He is not a Republican from policy, but
from conscientious convictions of right
founded on duty. This is the Republi
canism for which we have ever contended,
and this is the principle in our party in
whose success the State and the country
will always be benefited. And on ques
tions relating to Pennsylvania interests—
her vast material resources, her internal
commerce as this ramifies through the
other States, her foreign commerce and
her manufactures, Senator Cameron is
second to no man. in the State in his knowl
edge and grasp of their importance. It is
such men taut we need in the highest
councils of the nation, and while the Re-
publican party seeks such men for its
highest hoo and trusts it will be able
to win just such victories as will make
Tuesday's events so glorious in the history
of the Keystone State.
Following is the vote for Senator in de

Immediately after the vote was an

members and citizen , , waited upon the
new Mark Sopttor and congratulated him
upon his sucetss. lie replied as follows :
GENTLEMEN : I thank you for this
compliment and for the spirit which im
pels you to pay it. You are here to
day to crown a glorious victory, won
through the agency of a strong organiza
tion, and to inaugurate as Governor of
this State the gentleman of your choice,
whose election was secured by your devo
tion to the principles of the Republican
party he so ably represents. By an ac
cident of time you have on the same day
witnessed the inauguration of a Governor
and the election of a Senator to represent
you in the Congress of the United States.'
Your representatives have chosen me for
that position, and I desire to thank them
fcr it and you for your cordial approval of
their choice. But I especially desire to
impress upon you the necessity of keeping ,
up your organization to carry the State
for the Republican candidate for the Pres
idency in 1880—whoever he may be—re
membering always that the late contest
was but a skirmish to prepare you for the
more vital and commanding struggle to
time. To win that victory we must stand
shoulder to shoulder. Each member of
our organization must be prepared to
yield at all times a point for the securing
of general strength and harmony. Again
I thank you very sincerely for your kind
ness, and hope to meet you hereafter to
celebrate ot*; er vietories, won by your de
votion, your activity and your impregna
ble discipline. [Applause].

THE INAUGURATION OF GOVER
NOR HOYT.
The inaoguration of Henry Hoyt,
at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last, as the
eighteenth Governor of Pennsylvania, is
repotted to have been the pran,l24 affair
of.the kind ever witneased ill ti,;; State.
The military display was uttignifi :cut be
yond description, while the tiumereus civic
societies added inuell to tho appearance of
the plrele and•helped to swell the ranks
of the thousatrls who turned out to do
honor to the in-cowing Governor. It is
estimated that there were not less than five
thousands troops in line, and about three
thousand citizens, After the proceSsion
had passed over the advertised route it was
marched to Capitol Hill, where the oath of
office was administered by Justice Wood
ward of the Supreme Court, when Gover
nor Hoyt spoke as follows :
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives, and Fellow-Citizens : We
are associated, to-day, in observance of a
time honored custom. To you, the occa
sion which convenes us is mere:y cerento
nial in its character. And yet not only to
you who are gathered immediately within
the sound of my voice, but to all the citi
zens of the State it is an occasion of serious
import. You and they are to witness a
change in the Chief Magistracy of your
Commonwealth. To myself, it is more
significant. While I gratefully accept my
share of the pleasure incident to a pageant
like this, it is suggestive of delicate duties
and grave respensiblitiea. Elected to be
Chief Magistrate of the State, my official
life begins here and now.
You have witnessed in my assumption
of the oath of office, a sacred appeal to Al
mighty God and a solemn Vedgeof fidelity
in the discharge of my official obligations.
"The Supreme Executive power shall he
vested in the Governor, whc shall take
care that the laws be faithfully ()sweated "
This is the language of our State Consi
tution. It briefly, simply and adequately
defines my principal duty. I fully under
stand these words—l fully comprehend
the oath I have just taken. The people
of Pennsylvania expect me to keep that
oath. By the help of their prayers, and
by the favor of Divine Providence, I ex
pect to keep it.
It will be a common pleasure to us to
be exempted from giving special attention,
at this time, to matters of public business.
The conspicuous ability, and the long and
varied experience of my distinguished pre
decessor, has permitted nothing to escape
his attention which concerned the public
good, or was of sufficient importance to be
commended to the special action of the
General Assembly, or which might chal
lenge the consideration of the people His
last Annual Message is a document at once
so judicious, timely and comprehensive in
its review of public affairs and its recom
mendations, as to relieve me, for the present,
from all care in respect to that branch of
the executive duty. I may, therefore, re
gard myself-as at liberty to glance at some
topics, not inappropriate to the occasion,
in whir all good citizens feel a deep con-
cern.
The question uppermost in the mind of
titexountry relates to the revival of busi
ness. The last five years will be memora
ble in our National history as a period of
industrial depression and consequent social
distress. These five years have disclosed
the causes of our troubles, and their ex
perience should lead. us up to the true
methods of recovery. They will be found
to lie in the moral forces of society and not
in legislative enactments or executive in.
terference. I shall offer you no discourse
upon the financial theories which have
vexed us during these years. We have
come, with great unanimity, to recognize
the actual facts which lie at the bottom of
this whole subject. A. generation of
younger business men had came upon the
stage at a period of excitement, following
the war, and of speculation, fairly reaching
the degree of gambling. The vastly ex
panded credit which men gave one to an
other, in all forms of business, the result
of an inflated currency, led to unnatural
values, as measured in such currency. The
temptations fur contracting debts were
great and not easily resisted We spent
more than we earned; we forgot that . "the
extravagance of the rich was not the gain
of the poor"—"that profusion and waste
were not for the good of trade"—and that
everything consumed and destroyed was so
much lost iu the labor which had produced
it. Circulating capital was locked up in
fixed property The wages fund was im
paired. We abandoned the maxims of ex
periettee and the simplest truths in political
ec t411:. 1 . We measured values by a
at rd not common to the civilized world
with whom we were in daily and necessary
commercial intercourse. We . failed to re
member that the issue of paper money,
whether greenbacks, National bank notes,
bills of exchange or checks, did not add a
dollar to the wealth of the nation, and that
while indispensable as a circulating medium
it could only have a representative value.
W did not advert sufficiently to the present
sical and financial fact, that by the
tacit agreement of the nations, the precious
metals are the only standard of -value, the
only "current money with the merchant."
We did not seem to know that the instincts
of a practical, shrewd and enterprising na.
tion of' business men must finally and for
ever reject the use of an irredeemable cur
rency. At the last, pay day came, as it
always must, and bankruptcy came with it,
as it always will under like causes. Our
capacity to consume was destroyed. The
producer was without buyers for his mer
chandise. Debtor and creditor alike had
to pause for the day of settlement. A sys
tem of economy and saving was forced
upon us, aed it was the one process to re
store us. It cost us a hard struggle, self
denial and suffering, but the result was
health, moral and financial. The virtues
of sobriety and industry, renewed in prac
tice, give us discipline and strength. They
widened and deepened our manhood and
womanhood. Discarding the cheap de
vices of mere theorists, the dishonest pro
posals of mere agitators, and the charla
tanry of a politic:ll economy which under.
took to teach us how to create wealth with
out labor, we are now ready to go forward.
Henceforth we are to produce and ex
change actual thing', and not gamble in
merely fictitious values. Resumption has
taken place, confidence is restored, and
business will gow in healthy channels so
long as values are stable and their measure
honest. Pennsylvania is an empire in its
resources, and her people in the past have
developed and used them only by the
' virtues of labor and economy. For the
future we took except the same conditions.
It is possible, that, within our borders,
there may be required some readjustment
of our population to the centres of Industry
—some ruditribution of labor and capital.
Your Bu r eau of Labor and Statistics, when
adequately orgtinized and administered,
will furnish, abundant datj upon which the
intelligeoce of the people will ant.
I desire here to bespeak the freest and
fullest co operation of the people with their
Chief Magist It is equally their
' privilege and thetr duty to make their in
tunas and their vrish'es .known through
their legislative representatives, by corn
mittee, by writing , or by direct personal
interview with th e Executive. Such care
ful, special, intelligent, unreserved expres
sion upon the part of the people, would
enable both the Legislative and Executive
branches of their government to act with
a eleater appreei-Ition of their necessities.
I speak no.w for myself alone, but I am at
the same time confident that I express the
sentiments of every gentleman who is offs
cially ritited to the State administration.
We are renewing, in part, the personnel
of our State government, at a period of
inomenkpus interest in our national affairs.
The one great question yet to be solved is:
Shall government by the ballot he main
tained in this country, with equA
rights fur all legal voters. Pennsylvania's
attitude on that question is known wherever
her name is known. That she will insist
on the enforcement of the authority of the
National Constitution, in every State of
the National Union, is as certain as that
her mountain peaks point toward heaven,
and her rivers roll to the sea. Under no
circumstances can she ever recede from
this position. Strong in herself, stronger
in virtue of the constitutional relationship
to her sister States, she will be magnani
moue, conciliating and patient. But justice,
in the end, must, with her, be paramount.
Upon this high ground she will demand
that the provisions of a constitution 'nude
for all, shall be conformed to by all. This
question goes not only to her political con
victions, to her estimate of the worth of
our civilization, but to the elnsciences of
her pipulation. Pennsylvania bows in un
alterable devotion to the grand ideas of
the supremacy, perpetuity and glory of the
nation.
I have detained you, fellow citizens, be
yond my intention, and will therefore
claim your indulgence but a moment longer
fir a personal allusion. I should be guilty
of insincerity if I affected indifference to
the Imamr of the trust your suffrages have
confided to me. I am incapable of ex
pressing my heartfelt sense of its value T or
the strength of my purpose to prove that
it has not been misplaced. So much, in
brief, to those to whom I directly owe my
election.
One word to my fellow citizens who pre
ferred and supprted my honorable corn
petitors. It is worthy of a free people
that they bear tbetnselvcs with propriety
and self-control, through the contentions
and excitements of a general election. It
is gratifying to myself, and doubtless
equally so to all who were actively en.
gaged in the late canvass, that there was
so little manife.tation of bitterness. The
great debate was conducted with calmness,
as it was also with earnestness. For the
kindness and courtesy extended to me by
my political adversaries, I have to .say
that if they bad voted for the from the
same sense of duty which gave their bal
lots to my opponents, I could not be m-)re
firmly resolved than I am, to be impartial
and faithful in discharging the obligations
I owe to them as Chief Executive of the
Commonwealth. My political views and
convictions will and ought, unquestiona
ably, to influence and shape some of my
official recommendations; but in protect
ing the constitutional and legal rights of
the citizen, no party distinction can ever
for one moment be recognized.
In eunclusion. fellow citizens, permit
me to remind you of the individual re
sponsibility of each citizen, for the aggre
gate well being of the community. Each
of us owes the highest measure of fidelity
to the justice, the power and the right em
bodied in the State. Under the peace
and protection it secures all our traffic is
prosecuted and all our prosperity is shield
ed. Under it the social principle is al
lowed scope to found asylums, lodges, sem
inaries and churches, and to perfect the
Commonwealth itself
There can be no right citizenship with
out an intelligent understanding of the
principles' which the government organizes
and of the ideas which it represents. Each
citizen should be able n his own infor.
oration and not depending on any inter.
ested jobber or meddler to tell when there
is a departure from rectitude, where a
wrong tendency sets in, and where a peril
confronts us It is a cardinal principle
underlying the political creeds of all self.
governing people, which affirms each cit
inn to be as fully responsible for the wel
fare of the State as he is for his own per
sonal safety and happiness. Private citi
zen and magistrate are equally under this
fundamental law of the republic.
As you have heard me bound by an
oath to obey the laws of the Common
wealth, so have I, in turn, the c.-relative
right to bear the voice of the thousands
of freemen in pledging themselves.to obey
the laws which they themselves have
made. No strength of soldiery, no wealth
of farms and factories, of railroads and
coals, no protection of goverment;l me

Hosts of People are Martyrs
To sick headache, that infallible symptom o
a disordered stomach, liver and bowels. Many
suffer from it as many as three or four times
a week. They do so needlessly, for Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, by toning the digestive
organs and regulating the bowels and liver,
removes the cause, and dispels the painful
symptom. The intimate sympathy between
the brain and the abdominal region causes
the slightest disorder affecting the latter to be
reflected, as it were, in the organ of thought.
The reform instituted by the Bitters when the
digestive, secretive and evacuative functions
are in a state of chaos, has other and more
beneficial results, viz., the complete nutrition
of the whole physical economy, the restoration
of appetite and repose, and an increase in the
power of tl►e system to resist diseases of a
malarial type. [jan. 10-1 M.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.
A COMPLETE POLITICAL. COMMERCIAL,
L I TER A R Y and FAMIL Y JO URNA L.
General Sews Department —As heretofore, Tug
WEEKLY PRESS will publish the latest Associated
press despatches from all parts of the world, and,
in addition, will contain special telegraphic news
from our own correspondents in all sections of the
Union.
State News Department —Our State Department,
which has attracted so much attention, and been
so warmly received during the past year, wilt be
greatly improved for 1879, and all events of im
portance will be faithfully chronicled by corres
pondents in every city, town and hamlet in this
Commonwealth. This feature will be fully ap
preciated not only by Pennsylvania readers but
by others who formerly resided in this State.
Oar Currespondenee.—Arrangements have been
completed for the receipt of weekly letters from
New York, Boston, Washington, and other cities,
and our numerous correspondents in the West and
on the Pacific Cost will continue their interesting
contributions. Our regular European letters will
also be a prominent feature of Taft WaeKLY Pness
for the coming year, several distinguished writers
have recently been added to our already large
staff.
Incidents of City Life.—This always interesting
department will be greatly extended, and is to in
clude, in addition to the regular local news, spe
cial articles to be furnished by the best descrip
tive writers on the city staff. All phases of life
in a great metropolis will be reflected in this de
partment, and should prove both entertaining and
instructive.
___
Literary and Mi. cellaneo Ise Department.—The
Literary Department of THE WEEKLY PRESS will
he under the control of DR. E SIIELLTON MAC
KENZIE, Literary Critic of THE Pizzas, who will
be aided in the miscellaneous selections by exper
ienced members of the editorial corps. Our aim
will be to furnish the very best original and selec
ted matter that can be obtainoa, such as stories,
poems, sketches, etc., etc., thus giving many col
umns of matter of interest to all classes of readers.
The Agricultural Department.—Mß. THOMAS
MEEHAN, the editor of this well-known and very
valuable Department of THE WEEKLY PRESS, will
remain in charge during the coming year, and the
mere statement of this fact will be sufficient to
commend this journal to all who are engaged in
Agricultural pursuits.
Financial and commercial Department.—Nearly
all classes of readers will find our Financial and
Comulercial reports of inestimable value in their
business relations, for this news can always be
relied upon as unbiased and-authoritative. The
farmer, the mannfaoturer and the merchant can
not afford to be in igneranoe of events constantly
occurring in the business world, and to them the
information given by TOE WEEKLY PRESS is a
necessity. Oar quo'ations are always the very
latest that can be obtained, and are telegraphed
from all the business centres of the globe.
Our Little Anple —Since this department was
started we have received many letters of congrat
ulations from both parents and children, and in
the future this feature will be made even more
prominent titan the past. It is to be placed in
a
charge of talented lady, whose love for the little
folks cannot fail to guide her hand aright in the
selection of their weekly feast. The Pessler's
Realm, which has proved so popular, will remain
in charge of its well-known editor, MR. WM. H.
GRAFFAM, of West Scarboro, Maine.
The Editorial Department.—lt will be seen that
not only one page, but the entire paper will to
carefully edited, and nothing that could possibly
add to the value of the journal will be omitted.
The editorial page, proper, will include leading
articles on all the current topics of the hour, and
though THE PRESS is Republican in principle, it
will be found that in great questions its influence
will over be cast in favor of the right, irrespective
of partisan or other influence.
TWO DOLLARS PER YEAR (Postage Paid).
New subscribers sending Two Dollars now will
be credited with the paper until January 1, 1879.

1879-THE NEW YEAR-1879
In enterirg upon a new twelvemonth, which
begins with every sign auspicious for all the ac
tive, literary and artistic interests of the country
with every indication of an immediate future as
favorable to the advance of liberal enterprise as
the immediate past has been adverse; the pro
prietor of the
THE NEW YORK MERCURY
repo.% to have a new life, as it were, infused
into this so long representative metropolitan
weekly repository of Literature, Dramatic and
Musical specialities and general news. Always
a pungently original and endlessly varied epitome
of the most attractive literary novelties, artistic
information, social saliencies, choieest regular con
tributions and brighest journalistic department
of the day, it is intended that it shall be made
yet brighter and more comprehensive in general
,by the addition of striking new features and the
aid of an increased force of first-class writers.
Any current number of the paper now will serve
to show the progress of these invigorating and re
juvenating improvements, at once recalling to
thousands of readers the most brilliant past epochs
of their favorite weekly's veteran career and
eclipsing all precedents therein. The New YORK
MERCURY for the year 1879 will be far stronger
than ever in its great standard specialities,
SPLENDID SERIALS,
OFFICIAL DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE,
COMPLETE STORIES AND POEMS,
STRIKING SOCIAL NEWS,
and its usual unrivaled array of the best of con
tributions and fresh ideas in every line of inter
elting reading ; and it is designed that inimita
ble new specialities in
ORIGINAL HUMOR,
THE ROYEAN.CE OF REAL LIFE.
SOCIETY'S WIT AND SPARKLE,
LITERATURE'S NATIVE STRENGTH,
and the grandest work that liberal inducements
can obtain from the most celebrated f•-reign, as
well as native, pens, shall be among the future
characteristics, of the paper. Better times seems
to have come, indeed, at last, to encourage fresh
outlay in the interests of publio instruction and
amusement, and the New Yoae MIRCURV will be
found
FOREMOST IN THE VAN
of institutions recognizing and acting upon every
encouragement to fresh and generous enterprise
that the New Year promises to afford. A goodly,
loyal army of old friends and new arc already
subscribers, in every part of the Union and in
many parts of Europe; but an even greator con
stituency yet needs just such a combination of all
the choicest Literary and Artistic attractions of
the whole newspaper world in one great weekly,
as they may find in the
New York Mercury for 1579.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The NEW YORK MERCURY, with its fifty-six col
umns of sterling, original matter, will continue
to be issued at Eight Cents a copy, and sold by ail
