INAUGURATION OF GOVERN
OR GEARY.
n Atinisnino, Jan. 18, 1870.
At noon the Speakers and members of
the Senate and House assembled upon a
platform erected, adjoining the south por
tico of the State Capitol. Mauy invited
guests were also present. The walks and
grounds surrounding the platform were
covered with at least three thousand peo
ple. At an earlier hour of the morning, a pro
cession had been formed in another por
tion of the city, which, after marching
through the prinoip 1 streets, reached the
Capitol.
The military and civic bodies formed in
line on either side of State street, .and be
tween their ranks the Governor, heads of
departments, legislative committees, and
invited guests were driven up to the plat
form. After this the brilliautly attired
soliicrs and visiting firemen, together with
the civilians, marched to a position near the
platlorm where they could hear the inau
gural addiess of the Governor. The tem
porary stand was decorated with battlo
flags of Pennsylvania regiments.
The procession, as it was originally de
signed and as it was intended to be formed,
included sevcu fire companies of -the city
of Harrisburg, who were assigned a posi
tion in the Sixth and Seventh divisions
Among the visiting soldiers were the "Ex.
celsior Reserves," a colored rcgimeut from
Philadelphia (about one hundied strong),
who were assigned a positiou in the First
division, in advauce of the firemen. Fur
some reason, either because the negroes
were given the preference in the line, or
because they objected to inarch in compa
ny with the colored men, the seven Har
risburg fire companies withdrew from the
procession, and refused to take part in the
proceedings. They, however, left a detail
of five men a an escort to the Good Wili
Engine and Good Will Hose Companies ot
Philadelphia. Theso two visiting compa
nies maintained their respective positions to
lUv cuvl,uul nuiu u,uwli ml in 1 1 .1
All the respective participants being in
readiness, prayer was offered by Bishop
Simpson.
George HamiEcrsly, Clerk of the Senate,
read, the certificate of the i-lucliuu of the
Governor.
Speaker Chailcs II. Stiuson.of the Sen
ate, then stepped forward and administered
the following oath to Gov. Geary:
"You do swear that you will support the
Constitution of the United States. So help
you God.
'You do also swear that you will support
the Constitution of Pennsylvania, aud that
you will porform your duty as Governor
with fidelity. So help you God."
The Governor then delivered his
INAUGURAL DDIIESS.
FtUow Citizens: laving boon honor
ed, a second time, by iho voluntary suffra
ges of my countrymen as their choice for
Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, L have, in the presence of
God, aud of this assembled multitude, re
newed the solemn and binding obligation
required of me by law, to support the
State and National Constitutions, and to
perform with fidelity the duties devolving
upon me as Governor. It shaH bo my con
stant aim and most earnest ellort to observe
the very letter as well as the full spirit,
meauing, aud intent, of the obligation I
have just taken.
Deeply impressed with the most pro
found gratitude, I can but express niymost
hearty thanks to the good citizens of this
Commonwealth for the generous confidence
anu partiality they have reposed iu mo by
re-election to the most houoruble and most
responsible position in their gift. But know
ing well their exactions and icquiremcuts
of one who occupies a position so exalted,
it is with extreme diffidence, 1 agaiu un
dertake responsibilities of such vast impor.
tance, which even the boldest aud most gif
ted might hesitate to assume. And how.
ever determined may be my endeavors to
realize the expectations of my friends in
support of the right, and to bat'.le against
whatever, in my judgment, may be wrong,
still I am conscious ot the ceceisity for
some sustaining power, and, therefore, I un
hesitatingly acknowledge my dependence
upon the enlightened support and patriot
ism of my fellow citizcus, and my firm re
liance upon the unerring wisdom and nev
er failing aid of Him who controls alike
the destinies of individual" and of natious.
The settlement of the vexed questions
growing out of the armed conflict with
treason, devolves a mighty responsibility on
the loyal men of the land. Armed rebel
lion was signally crushed by the lorce of
armed loyalty, and the Government has tri
umphantly established its ab'.lity success
fully to suppress domestic insurrection, how.
ever gigaotio. The war itself has served to
stimulate our people to frch energies, and
to the development of new enterprises.
Our manufactories have multiplied, plenty
has smiled upon our fields, and blessed the
labors of the husbandman. Peace has re
stored our people to their homes, and cheer,
ed our firesides. The rates of taxation have
been reduced, and are entirely abolished
upon real estate for thcu.e of the Common
wealth, Our State debt is being steadily
and surely liquidated. Immense sums have
been paid for pensions and ether charities.
The cause ot education has advanced, and
the institutions for the support and tuition
of the soldiers' orphans have been libeiuL
ly supplied. Railroads havo been construc
ted, and new material ri.'som ccs developed.
And thus our State aud nation are rapidly
progressing in. the attainment of those ele.
menU of greatness whir.h have already
placed our country in the foremost rank of
the Powers ot the earth. The great Rail
road which binds our State to the fur West,
and it in turn to the Oriental nations, has
been completed, and all our efforts to add to
our material -prosperity have been crowned
with unparalleled success.
It was my privilege to announce from
this stand three years ago the principles
which would guidu me iu the administra
tion of the office of Governor. At that
time I dwelt upon aud exptessed my views
in reference to all questions then occupy
ing a share of public attontiou. I have
since, from time to time, in iiie.,snges to the
Legislature, set forth the erudition ot the
State, recommended sueh mersure3 as 1
deemed expedient aud calculated to ad
vanee her interests, and expressed my views
upon the various topios of the day tha:
were of State or National importance. And
having fully reflected thereon, I urn the
more confirmed therein, and know of uo rea
son why I should not endorse and reiterate
them as fully on this occasion as if ag tin
promulgated, word for word. And now.
acknowledging my responsibility in its
broadest sense, as a representative to hiy
constituents, and considering the magnitude
of the interests which have again been com
mittcd to my charge, I feel it is due to Un
people, and iucuuibeut utun mytelt, to re.
fer them to the documents indicated for nn
outline of the general policy whioh is iu
ti-nded as a guide lor the incoming ndmin
istrution, rather than cncur.iber thus address
or unnecessarily delay this auJietiee with
their repetition. I have no new pledges to
make, but confi lently refer to the recoid ol
1113 past life as evidence, at least, to my zeal
and dovotiou to the best interests of my
State and country, and for the rectitude ol
my intentions. And although the ability
which I bring to tin discharge of such hih
duties may be limited, I (diall confidently
rely upou the kind indulgence of my fel
low citizeus and upon a conscientious effort
to uphold unblemished, and trar.s'uit uul:u
nUhcd to my suevessor in office, and to pos
terity, the fair fame and good name of our
luagnilieeut old Commonwealth.
Difficulties of no f iditiary eht.ractcr cou.
htuiitly suround your Executive olhi:ei in
the discharge of the many duties de.
volving upon him. concerning each of which
there m.iy be conflicting opinions. It be.
ing, therefore, impossible to satisfy all, his
ouly safeguaid is to adopt, aud act iu accor
dance with those sterling and beneficent
maxims to which the early fathers gave
utterance, which have been sanctioned by
wisdom, prosperity of our institutions, and
the liberty and, happiness of our people.
The constitution vests ''the supreme ex
ecutive power" of the State Governor, and
directs that "ho t-hall tuko care that the
laws be faithfully executed." The su
preme earthly authority recognized by us,
therefore, is the law the rightfully deter
mined will of the people. ".No citizen is so
exalted as to be above, and none so low
as to be beneath its power." The execu
tive is as much the subject of the laws cf
the State a the humblest individual wiih
d its borders. In pursuance of these prin
ciples, aud in the execution of the laws, 1
have endeavored during my term of office
faithfully to dieharga every official dutj
with a full refereuce to my sworn cbliga.
lion, and as I shall answer at the last great
day.
It should be our earnest effort to faith
fully discharge all our obligations, and re
sponsibilities, both as citizens and inagip
tratca. We thou'd cease to tolerate any
thing as "politically right t hut is morally
wrong," and actively proscribe the corrup
tion which too frequently aiarka the admin
istration ot public affiirs an evil to which
attention cannot too frequently or f ireihly
be invited. No sii;n more furcibly indi
cates the down tall of free institutions than
the indifference of the people to tho moral
depravity of those in authority. All hi.-tory
warns us to hold to our iutegi ity us we val
ue our nation il cxislauccs
Forcibly impressed with these ideas, I
cail upon all legislators, und upon all other
good citizeus. and especially upon the con
due-tors ot the public press the evcr.faith
ful sentinels of a roc people to ni l iu
giving that tone to public sentiment which
shall purify o;ir owe, and relieve her lr-'iii
the reproach of even countenancing those
who would make a tiafiic of their flieers
in violation of their obligations hook to it
well and closely, fellow-citizens and begin
at oneo to" teach your servants that the
"puViic will" uiu--t be obeyed, and that the
"public weal" is the first npject to be at
tained in a free government. If you per
mit speculators to enrich themselves out of
the public treasury, aud at the same time
to corrupt tho law-maki.ig branch of the
Government, you pave tho way to nuarchy,
you set the example which tempts to ciiine,
and offer to the world an evidence most
conclusive that self-govcnitiieuts is a fail
ure. ,
Owing to tho many efforts made on
the part of f'tec traders lor the abjlishmcn t
of tho natur.il aud wholesome protection
now afforded to our home industry and to
labui', I coiiMuer it a subject which claims
u parti. t) of our time and attention. If our
national iudu.it. -y and natural productions,
represented by thousand-! of factories, mine?
and othca?ou"cc3 of labor, are to be pre
served, there should be 110 reduction of
duties which bh.ill enable the underpaid and
overworked population of the Old World
to flood our States with the product of their
mines and workshops at the cost of our des.
ti uetioii. The articles thus admitted would
undersell the products of'uur artisans at our
very doors, and eur factories would be
closed, as heretofore, Dy similar causes.
This will throw out of employment thou
sands of industrious nun, and entail ruin
upou them and their families merely for the
betiifit and aggrandizement of furoiga man
ufacturers and caj.itaU.-M. As so"a as our
iti.'ius'ji.i! a: ;iis aie pav-ihjsvd ait I competi
tion is destroy, d, the monopolist can com
mand Lis own price, and it is thus clear that
the policy of free ti l l.- eati never pom mtly
bjiiefit any country that will sanction its.
adoption. Impelled by every f.eliug of
ii.t- rest, huui.tiiity, and j-i--.;ae for our a;ti.
sunn and laborers, we sl.on! 1 uuhe.-itatitmly
set cur faces against this heresy. Wo siio'd
then-fore, not ouly earnestly leg'slaie lor
the betic!it of capital, but for the tuilintr
sons and daughters of our country. It
should be our constant effort to improve
their social condition, to aJvauej their in
tellectual status, and, above all, to shield
them from the dstitution which is threat
ened by the eiicmici of protect! v.i lo our
industrial pursuits
In my several messages to tho hegialu-
tuve, I have taken occasion to refer to a
suljoct which I regnrd as of paramount ini
portar.eo to the prosperity, and evoii stabil
ity of our Government. No nation can long
csist that atfea.pts to violate any of its ob
ligations. The most prominent among these
is the faithful payment of all its indebted
ncss. No good roasou caa be given for the
repudiation of a piule farthing. I said ia
my message of January, lt:03, "Tho peo
pie of Pennsylvania, ever true to tie Union
and unswerving iu their determination to
preserve its hunoi, integrity, and perpetuity,
are 'proud and free to assert the sacred nes
of the national debt, and that its ui:iumtc
payment in full must be seemed. In my
tuSiigo of 18t9 I called attention to the
same sulj.-ct, in th'ese words: "The voice
of Pennsylvania, as well an that of the ma
jority of theStutt-s, lias at tho ballot-box
proclaimed to the world that all our national
itnlcbteduess, no matter how heavy the
buiJfn, will be paid according to the let
ter and spirit of the agreements ma le and
entered iuto at the time the bebt was con
traeted ; and that iu this , as in all o:her
respects, our individual and natioual hom r
must aud. shall be preserved." These
teutimei.ts, so cbarly expressed, 1 have
taken Ircqucnt occasion, tu reiterate, aud it
affords mo gteut fcatisfactiiou to observe
that many who hav.i heretofore been hohtile
to, or silent on this most important subject,
are becomiug wuriu iu their udvoeaoy of the
principles here enunciated.
Those who saved this Government from
the destruction designed by treason are
they who will perpetuato as a blessing for
future generations. All that is asked of
the people is to strengthen and uphold tho
hands of the men who have called to do tho
work of reconstuction, and when that work
is finished in the ppirit in which it has been
beg in by' the present Natioual Admistra
tiou. we will have a Government,, and a
country mighty in their munificence, glo
rious iu their prosperity.
The preservation of the peace and quiet
of our country, maintaining unsullied our
tiational honor and the harmony of tho
Union, arc among our highest duties, hot
us encourage every branch of homo indus
try, advance the true interests ot lioral,
physical, and intellectual labor, and, reach
ing forward to the prize of the manifest
destiny of our gloi'us Commonwealth, wo
may hope for her increasing prosperity,
nil d, above all, for the smile3 of an approv
ing Providence.
I earnestly invoke a contiuuance of tho
blessings and favors which we, a3 a people,
have bug enjoyed ; that Pennsylvania may
bs ever ready to extend her sypathits to
these strugling for liberty, to succor the
helpless exile, and, bs an asylum'' to the
persecuted and oppressed ;an l thus forever
ideu'.iiy herself with the cause of equal
rightsand with the interests of nuivtosnl
freedom, justice, and humanity. Then cau
we with truth and pride proclaim, "hong
live the eoni'.iiouweatlih," whose guiding
principles are found in the leutto of our
State, Virtue, hiberty, and Independence."
At the conclusion of the Governor's adi
dress, about thirty numbers of tho Scott hc
gion, headed by Colonel Reynolds, addres
sed the Governor iu a speech of congratu
lation. His reply touched upon old associ.'
atiocs connected with the Mexicau war, aud

A LA I) 1 IN THE WR ONG BA TU
A newly-mnrrie 1 couple recently arriv
ed in New Oileats. Jaded tired, they
would each have a bath before retiring.
11, ey found the baths at their hotel so sit
uated, that a lady and gentlem iu (especi
ally when the lady iu the genticniuu's
wife) can take 'heir baths iu adjoiniug it
aparttieuts. But, unfortunately for the
happiness of our couple, baths at the samo
time were ordered for other guests who
had just arrived, and by the most natural
mistake in the world, our bride got into tho
wrong bath.
It was at that moment of supreme enjoy,
meut when the warm water was coquettiug
