Inaugural Address of Gov.
• I’ovvell Clayton.
Fellow Citizens: I congratulate you, ami
the whole people upon the restoration of
the bonds of relationship between this
state and the federal government, which
were so violently torn asunder seven years
ago ; and upon the progress tfiade in the
great work of re-building the edifice of
(Jivil Government, which, at the same
time, was so ruthlessly torn down and de
stroyed. The delegates of the people,
who met here in January last, guided
undoubtedly by the Great Architect of
the Universe, wisely agreed upon the
plan, aud laid upon the eternal rocks of
truth and justice the foundation. The
people of this State and the representa
tives of the people of the nntion, have
each successively inspected the work, and
pronounced it good. And now, gentlemen
of the various departments of the State,
into your hands and mine is confided the
duty of raising up the super-structure.
If we would have this work well done, we
must labor together with harmony and
unity—with energy aad circumspection—
paying due regard to the value of time,
and the exigencies of the public service ;
and yet avoiding that superficial haste
which might require others to pull down
and rebuild that which we have erected
at so much expense. The duties and res
ponsibilities of the office that I have been
eailed upon to administer, have been con
sidered, in ordinary times, urduous and
difficult. Under the trying circumstances
of the present, my mind is filled with
sentiments of the d'eepcst solicitude The
solemn and binding oath which I am
about to take in your presence, will consu
matc the act, which places in my keeping,
to a great extent, the vital and varied in
tcrests ot over tour hundred thousand let
low creatures. Deeply impressed with
this truth and conscious of my inexper
ience, I implore the Supreme Ruler to
endow me, and all other officers of the
state, with those qualities which arc essen
tial for the wise and efficient administra
tion of public affairs. And I earnestly
solicit the counsel and aid of the officers
of the co-ordinate branches of the State
government, and the indulgence and
hearty co-operation of the entire people.
In return for the confidence reposed in,
and the honor conferred upon me, I can
only offer my humble services, which
shall, to the best of my ability, be devoted
to the public welfare.
It is proper for me, at this time, to re
view briefly the situation of affairs, and
foreshadow the course I expect to pursue
in the service of the State ; this however,
will greatly depend upon events as they
arc unfolded by the future.
We have a State, surpassing all others,
in tiie richness and variety of its natural
gifts. Ilcre nearly every branch of indus
try may find a quick and rich return.
Wo ought to be a groat and prosperous
people. Rut owing to that blind policy'
of the past, which sought to build up a
non-producing aristocracy based upon the
involuntary and unremunerated labor of a
class of the community, directed almost
entirely to the cultivation of a single pro
duct, every interest has lain idle and
undeveloped. And by reason of those
untoward events with which all arc pain
fully familiar, the wealth of the community
has been worse than wasted, and the best
energies of the people expended in vain.
A large part of the community, still grasp
ing at the shadow of dead and buried
slavery, seem unwilling to accept the
situation, and witli poverty and bank
ruptcy staring many in the face, disregard
that irrevocable law, which says, “In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou cat bread.'’
The hours that should be devoted to
honest industry, “arc too often expended
in idle invective against what is termed
“A tyrannical government,” or in denun
ciation of that class of the community,
who have been lately enfranchised, and
who constitute to-day our producing class.
The condition of affairs growing out of,
ami incident to the war, have been such
as to permit wicked and evil-disposed per
sons to practice their nefarious designs in
comparative security. And notwithstan
ding the earnest efforts to preserve law and
order upon the part of my worthy prede
cessor, and the patriotic and efficient
officer w ho has commanded this sub-district
with such admirable discretion, their
limited menus, and uncertain powers have
bceu entirely inadequte : hence, in many
localities a state of lawlessness and crime
exists bordering upon terrorism. When
the rebellion closed, it was fondly hoped
by many that such of the people as en
gaged therein, had submitted everything
of a political nature to the arbitrament of
the sword, would accept the result, and
return in good faith to their allegiance.
Sucli hopes have not bceu realized to any
great extent; hut, upon the contrary,
every effort at conciliation conforming to
principle, and every overture upon the
part of a victorious nation which would
not surrender the dearly bought fruits of
the war, have been misconstrued by the
leaders of the rebellion, and scornfully re
jected. The four years of civil war was
of course favorable to the growtli of the
wildest passions, and the three years
which followed, and which should have
lieon devoted to their allavmcnt. and to
the pacification ol'the masses, were con
Mimed in persistent and determined
efforts to elevate treason to tiio highest
niche of honor, ami make loyalty but an
other name for infiuny. As it was found
nceossajy, during that period known as
“the war,” to give up all efforts at concilia
tion, and crush with sheer force, tbnt
rebellion which would not be appeased, so
1 believe it will be found necessary at
this period of covert resistance to- lay
nsido all present efforts to satisfy that part
of the commnuity who seem determined j
not to be satisfied, and march straight for-!
ward in the path of duty, of justice and
of right, to the cod, that the fruits of the I
war may he secured, a permanent peace ;
established, and a civil government erec
ted which shall afford shelter to every!
class of the community, and rise in such
grand proportions as to beeome the pride
and glory of the whole people.
To establish law and order throughout
the State, to protect every individual in (
his constitutional rights, and to correct as ;
rapidly as possible the evils which I have !
too feebly portrayed, will command my
immediate and earnest efforts. ] will, as
soon as practicable, fill the various offices j
made appointable by law with men of fideli
ty, courage, firmness and honesty ; and 1
whilst I indulge the hope that these ofti- i
cers, together with those chosen directly i
by the people, may be enabled to carry on
successfully the departments ot the govern- I
ment without military aid, as soon as the
proper legislative action is taken, 1 shall
proceed to organize an efficient ami well
disciplined militia, which will, if necessa
ry, b« made to reach out its rigorous ami ,
searching arm into every part of the State,
and crush out any spooler- of lawlessness
and resistance against which the civil i
authorities maybe unable to cope.
'I hi c 'abii hincut f a vi c system of
I Jig' it ion m b ,i> i. ■ m lupin1 1 bv our •
'admirable Constitution; the encourgo
mcnt of Immigration, of Industry, of
1 Home productions ami Home manufac
tures; the development of our Agricul
tural and Mineral resources, the further
nace of our Ilailroad interests and Public
| Improvements, and the restoration ar.d
preservation of our State credit, being all
measures of great importance, shall receive
my earnest attention and active support.
In conclusion, permit me to express the
hope, that ought of the dark and gloomy
past, a brighter nnd better era is drawing
| upon our State and common country—one
that will excito the admiration of the
: future historian, ns he hands down to all
j proeceeding ages the glorious record of a
j people who, through much suffering and
I great sacrifice, made every institution con
I form strictly to the great principles of
: Liberty and Justice—an era that shall he
marked with a degree of intelligence,
i refinement nnd prosperity not equaled by
' any preceding age. That it may please
Hint who holds the destinies of nations in
his hands to permit these expectations to
be realized, is my humble supplication.
POWELL CLAYTON.
Military l'jrrtlon of IJovernor
Humphrey!*.
From the Vicksburg Times, 124th.]
The gallant nnd incorruptible old sol
dier whom the people of Mississippi chose
for their Governor, Benjamin G. Hum
phreys, returned to the capital last Satur
day night. Upon being officially inform
ed by General Ames of his removal from
office, be prcvplly refused to surrender
the seal and archives of the State, or to
retire from his position as the legal and
constitutional Chief Magistrate of Missis
sippi! The information of his refusal
was at once communicated to the head
quarters of Gen. McDowell, and orders
were immediately transmitted to Col.
Biddle, commandant of the Post at Jack
son, to eject the Governor from his offer
by military force! Upon receipt of the
order Col. Biddle called upon Governor
Humphreys and demanded possession of
the executive office, which was again re
fused. Col. Biddle then arrested the
Governor! with armed men took posses
sion of the executive office, and now holds
it! Gov. Humphreys was subsequently
1 released from arrest.
This simple recital needs no words
fiom us to add to the enormity of the
crime that has been perpetrated, or to stir
the indignation that must swell the heart
of every man that was born free ! The
foul outrage has been consummated; and
the chosen chief of the people of Missis
sippi has been stricken down in his high
place. The capitol of the State has been
polluted by armed soldiers, and the person
of its Chief Magistrate outraged. Com
ment is unnecessary. This last act of
wrong and oppression will rouse the whole
nation, for if the Governor of Mississippi
may be driven from office to-day by
bayonets what shall prevent the same
outrage from being perpetrated on New
York to-morrow f The people of this city
will have an opportunity of passing sen
tence on this act of tyranny tomorrow,
and we are greatly mistaken if every
honest man in our midst, black as well as
white, docs not utter such a condemna
tion as will make tyrants tremble.

In the campaign from the llapidan to
the James Grant had three soldiers to
Lee’s one and 12,000 over. 222,000 to
70,000.
Grant used up six times as many men
ns Lee and 3,000 over 117,000 to 10,000.
Grant used up as many men rs all Lee
had, and 12,000 more than half as many
again, 117,000 to 70,000.
Grant used up 53 per cent, of his en
tire force. Lee used up but 27 per cent,
of his force.
This wasteful butchery being finished,
Grant was still far from conquering his
antagonist. They had yet to meet in
front of Petersburg and Richmond, where
the deadly game of swopping off six
Northern soldiers for one Southern sol
dier proceeded till Lec's inferior force
was used up. Would that be generalship

shine always as she does of anight, and
from his being obliged to keep such a

feminine, because she is constantly

A new feature will soon be added by pub

The political complexion of the Citizen
is white—opposed to negro suffrage and n

opposing them shall advocate the principle
that white men Bhould rule white men.
In times of great political danger ever)

than probable that the present year will
witness more political excitement and ex
