On Tuesday laAt• was completed
the term of ollice of Governor JOlts
F. likwraA,.:rr, and his. successor,
iiENRr M. HOYT, was inaugurated
with a disp:ay.of militarf and pan
cal dubs, such as has never bUfore
been witnessed at the capital..
Governar Iltn - rn...3:FT has been,
contintionsl)%_pearly thirteen Years
in' the pu ' , tie service. From May
1864. to D,cember 1572, he wast Au
ditor Gel eral, and [ from . January
PM,. lie has served two terrns• of
three yearn., each as :Governor- ; .1:4-
der the new Constitution the term for
the GovertUtr is four years, and the
incumbent is not eligible for-thenext
succeeding term. . .
Daring the years Gov. Iltarn'Axrr
has occupied the executive °nice,
troublons times have come upon the
Commonwealth, . bringing : financial
- disaster . , and depression to alllbusi
nbss circles. With monetary depres
sion came the unlawful scenes Of vio
lence and mob rule fit the localities
most affected, calling for the 'exer-'
else' of calni judgment and courage
and decision on the part of. the an :.
thprities. That the exigencies: were ;
well and prudently met, is admitted'
by all, saving the disturbed portions .
of the State from anarchy and blood
shed, and restoring peace and'quiet.
The Pres pay:SA.6m a just • tribute
when it Bays that in the ordinary
',
rOutine of otheial duty. he has been
pure in . his grcat. office ; and lie
-hands it to his successor unstained
and without reproach. During his,
administration. the Commonwealth
has passed 'under the operation of a
new organic law ; ;he charities of the .
State have been 'largely extended ;
its reformatory and penal institutions
have been leularged , and improved;
its school system has been strength
ened ; in - the whole machinery of ad
ministration, abuses have been re
lomed, and 'careful consideration
ha", been given to others yet needed
fur . • the Safety of the people. On no
sul . vject has Governor lIAttraANFT
given an uncertain sound: Ile has
been 'faithful, anti - watchful, and hon
est; and .- deserves all the pleasure
wlndeli he can derive ,from the •con
scionsness of having the respect of ,
the people oi* the Commonwealth
which gave him birth and twice chose
him to its first office. . .
• Governor IforT takes the chair of
State under very favorable circum
stances, and with an army or friends
such as few yonng men possess. The
.magnetism of his personal presence
_ ..4
wris powerfully felt in the late cam
paign, and his intercourse with the
people, mionsed 'their enthusiasm and
established him firmly in the respect-
Ail friendship of all with . whom he
came in contact. In Imzerne county
Limn - hurt is known as the em
bodiment of all that is genial; bon-Ora
ble and manly. Ilia executive abili
ties are -admitted, as his integrity is
unquestioned, and he-brings to the
Exteutive chair more ofrthe elements
of popularity than any than who has
preceded him. That he may not dis
aPpoint.the high expectations - of his
friends requires the eXercise •of
,tin
hounded i:'ourae and tact, firmne,as
and decision—all of 'wklich we have
every confidence. will . be fOund in
him—and that at the end cif his term
of office, he will receive/the plaudits
of the people; and stand still higher
in their confidence and affections.

.—S. A . 1 - ./Tr.i of Wi!kes-l3arre, liar
sent Ili a circular intended to awaken
public interest as to the feasibility of
improving ili/e navigation of the riv
ers between/Nanticoke and
,Elmira,
so as to permit tie running of steam
boats. lie says that trips have been
made •by - the larg-st of the boats of
Willtes-Barr, as far up the river as
Tunkliannock.
I,n view of these firets , ,it is proposed .
by persons interested
,in steamboat
navigation the Susgtichanna and'
Chemung rivers., residing in Wilkes.
Barre, Pittston and elsewhere, to agi
tate the subjkt of improving the navi
gation of the. rivers between the Nan
ticoke dam and Elmira; a distance
of one hundred and thirtyMiles,"and
secure, if pOssible, an adequate ap
propriation'i from the NatiOnal Gov
ernment for ithis.purpose. Boats run
between Wilkes-Barre and 'Nanticoke
eight months in the year, with but
little ditlienity, and during the past
season haye carried upwards Of 50,-
COO 'passengers.
That the improVethent of these riv
ers would be a great public cbenefit
cannot be : doubted.. rivers
Would beeOme a thoroughfare, the
transportation of both frieight and
passengers ',would be increased, as
the produce of the upper Susquehan.:
na, designed for. constunption in the
vasY coal regionsi:,would be freighted,
at much leiss cost than at present;
and the cabins of the steamers/be
much wore comfortable and atZract
ive than the present railroad accom
modations.';
- According to the opinions of our
best engin'eers, thiS.work can be ac
complished at an expenditure of one
thousand dollars per mile.

THE Sukeine Court of the United
States has eonlrmed the decision ;;If
the lower court affirming the consti
tutionality of the law against polyga
my, and the " peculiar institution"
of Utah is without any - legal prop
whatever, and in open defiance of the
law of 'the land. The condition of
atralrs in however, is such as
to call for careful and judicious ac
tion on the part of the- government,
and is well calculated to awaken the
sympathy of all charitable men and
women. There arclundreds of fam
ilies in which polygamy exists,Where,'
if the law as it stands were executed;
women whO never meant to violate
in this respect the laws of Cod_or
man, would.' bec t ome helpless outcasts
and their children be declared ille
gitimate. It
.would seem more in
accord with Christian charity to en
force the law only against violations
in the future,
.and let the past be
treated as ometbing,for which there
is no adequate remedy, but the evils
of which clan be mitigated by kind
and careful treatment. .

read in executive session, and replied

Many of the charges, and took occa
sion to make some severe charges,
against the administration. Reports
MAW that a majority of the Senators
side with Mr. Co:UJUNG, and it is

Tne , Nr.w•PEsios -Thu.—Under
_the . House bill for the payment of
arrears of pensions, which have been
urged upon Congress for several years,
and which passed the house last ses
sion and the Senate Thursday, should
it be approved- by the President,. till .
pensions, whenever granted, will coin- ,
menee from the date of the death:or
disability of the claimant or the' sny t _
v iving rel ti Ves. Mr. INO 21. MS thinks
that the maximum sum require . d will
not exceed $20,000,053, which
be paid to the. wounded and disabled
soldiers and to the widows and or
phans of Those who fell in the service.
This bill will benefit directly not less,
than half a million people: The bill
now requires nothing but the signa
ture of the President to become a law.
No fees arc to be allowed to elaini
agents or attorneys for services in
collecting arrears.. All necessary in
formation and blanks will be , furnish
ed without charge upon application
to the Commissioner of Pensions. It
• might be added as evidence of the
military power in the United States
that but four .Senators voted against.
the bill.
Tun.course of the Republicans in
Congress on the resolutions to raise
the Potter Committee, was the best
that could have been taken and has•
been amply justified by the results
of the investigation. The Republi
cans from the first contended that Any
inquiry, after the Presidential dispute
was settled, that would have the ap
pearance of an. assault on the .Presi
dent's title, would be prejudicial to
the buSiness and governMent of the
country. - But the resolution was
adopted after the Republicans had'
exhausted eqr'y effort to defeat :t
anti the • comtnittee went to its work
only to resuscitate ; a erop• of liars
and' perjurers. After the Republi
oans have assumed this commendable
position they cannot change it when,
a proposition is made that the Potter
Committee shall investigate the Til
den ciphers. . T-ke ciphers have been
translated, published and a Verdict of
guilty - rendered against• Mr. Tilden
And the co-parcencis by the public.
Any investigation of the Potter Com
mittee can only be to break the•force
of Mr Tilden's disgrace, and in such
case it:being a purely pemocratic
funeral, the Republicans should stand
aloof, as they have done during_the
entire agitation:
. SOME of 'the .malcontents are fincl
ing fault because Mr. GROW is in fa
vor of sustaining the. caucus nominee
for 1:1. S. Senator c and decidedly re
fuses to lend himself to the factious•
parties who oppose. Senator , CAMER
ON'S re-election. Mr. Guow is too
wise a maa to be concerned in any
such scheme, and too good a Repub
lican to lend himself to the plotters
against the ineegrity of. the organiza,
tion. man in the State contribu
ted More to our brilliant saccmlilast
fall, than Mr. Guow, and no bone
knows better tliih he,-that the. vic
tory of the Rcpublicanswas - a decis
ion in favor of Senator CAMERON'S
re-election. ,enemies of the lat-.
ter forced the issue upon the people,
and as the triumph was Senator CA.3I
EROS'S, Mr. Gaow believes it - should
:be respected and carried out.

I -
the Senate, ou Thursday, several
bills were introduced, but were laid on
21rdtat:le,. there being -no committees to
'which they could be referred. :One of
these was a joint resolution by Senator
Lawrence, of Washington county, pro-
posing an amendment to thc 4 Constitution
having for its object the wiping out of the
Boa.i:d of Pardons. -This:court of last re
sort, as. the.pardon board is now called,
it is contended does not,iii any way sub
serve a good purpose in doing justice to
criminals, and that. the diriding of the re
•
sporisibilifyln granting pardons - has been
found not - to -work well. It is thought the
[ thought
proposition will be favorably entertained
I ,in both branches of the Legislattire.
A resolution was offered in the Senate
by Mr. Ernientrout, of Berks., and. in the
House by Mr. Sherwood, of Northumber
land, on Thursday, to limit the expenses
of the coming inatiguration to $l,OOO.
In the . absence of "standing committees
the resolution was laid en the' table. IM
the ureattimo the inauguration will go
on
,just tire same,. probably, as if the
aforesaid resolution hat! notbeen offered.

The old members of the LegiSlature
predict a long session, covi ring the 'full
constitutional limit. With an emi,ty
State Treasury, and large expenditures .
assured foF the present year, it will be'
the duty of tile Legislature to devise-some
scheme for replenishing the coffers. New
taxes it is claimed must be placed, and
Wirere to place them is the gne,stion. The,'
- shortest way out of the difficulty seems
to be a tax on petroleum in some shape ;
but this will arouse the united opposition
of the oil-producing interest, and occasion
a lively; fight, as well as along session.
There is still considerable talk about
the appointments of the new' Governor,
and while Mr. Quay is silent in regard to
giving up the .PhiludelPhia flecordership
for the positiOn of Secretary bf the Cora;
menwealth, it is thought by many that
iiis action at times betrays the fact that
he is not by any means settled as to his
future movements. Indeed,' there arc,
those pretending to know, who predict to
know that Qnay,will thke the Secretary
ship. It is alleged that hp is ambitious
to be a United States Senator at some fu
ture time, not too far off', and in order'to
gratify that ambition, he-is willing to
make any sacrifices.
