Nearly the entire day was consumed in

Adjourned.
Midland County, San Angela and the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe.
Austin, March 6.— Governor Ireland
yesterday signed the bill creating Midland
county out of a portion of Tom Green
county. This has only been accomplished
after a stubborn fight in the legislature
between the friends of Midland and the
friends of San Angela, Who wish to hold
Tom Green county intact.
Now, that this matter is settled, both
towns will pull together in harmony, and
work for the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe
extension from .Lampasas west, 100 miles
of which is already provided for. It is
thought by those in a position to know
that the Santa Fe people have these towns
in view, and with a proper effort on their
part, the road will go through by this
route.

T.1 IE J AC K SONVILLE INTELLIG ENCEE.
Retained by GrdVer.
Washington, Mar. 5.—One of President
Cleveland’s first acts in connection with
his official household was his decision to
retain O. O. Pruden as assistant to private
secretary Lamonte. Pruden was appoint-
ed by Gen. Grant as bearef of presidential
communications to the lower house of
Congress, and during so many administra-
tions has become a familiar figure to all
who are connected wit offices at the Capi-
tol. His retention is heartily commended
by members of both parties and by repre-i
sentatives of the press.
Senatorial Caucuses.
Washington, Mar. 5.—There were short
senatorial caucusses of both parties after
adjournment of rhe session to-day. The
democrats effected organization by elect-
ing Mr. Beck chairman and Mr. Rennet
secretary. The chairman was authorized
to appoint a committee of nine to arrange
the minority membership of the commit-’
tees. A resolution was adopted thanking
senators Pendleton and Jones for their
courtesy and efficiency in the discharge of
their duties as chairman and secretary^
respectively, of the democratic caucus.
The republicans are reticent about their
proceedings. It is understood some dis-
cussion took place about the liability of
caucus secrets to become public, and that
organization of the committee was post-
poned to a future caucus, to be called
when the preference of senators shall
have become better Ifnowm
Riddlebergei1 Objects to fiayafd.
Washington, Mar 5.—When the cabinet
nominations were taken up in executive
session, Mr. Riddleberger objected to the
immediate consideration of the nomina*
tion of Mr. Bayard, stating briefly that he
did so because of Bayard’s attitude upon
the Irish question. Riddleberger thought
him more English than American. Bay-
ard's name being first on the list, consid-
eration of all wrent over under the rules
of the Senate for a day.
Sccrctary*^Teller’s East Act.
Washington, Mar. 5.—One of the last
acts of Secretary Teller was to issue pa*
tents for lands in Louisiana, granted to aid
in the construction of the New Orleans &
Pacific Railway. These landsembracing
about 700,000 acres, are comprised in what
is commonly known as the “back-bone
gran.t”
Sympathy from San Antonio.
San Antonio, March G.—One hundred
and fifty employes of the Galveston, Har-
risburg and San Antonio railway, com-
prising mechanics, laborers, etc., met to-
night, and in view of the present strike
on the Gould system, passed resolutions
strongly expressing sympathy, condemn-
ing the tyrannical Gould management
and offering assistance if needed. The
engineers were fully in sympathy, and
some were heard to offer their month’s
wages to further the cause. They state
they have no grievances against their own
roads. The resolutions are signed by the
most prominent workers here, and will be
forwarded to the various strike localities.
A New Drawing Made.
Austin, March. 6.—Gen. Walker, super-
intendent of construction of the capital,
has made a drawing of several sections of
the walls of the building as it would ap-
pear if changed in architectural style, to
accommodate it to granite. It apparently
is greatly improved over the more elabor-
ate design first adopted. There is a suffi-
ciency of ornamental work retained for
the character of the building, and it is
rendered more graceful and more impos-
ing. Meritricious ornaments, which would
provide bats and mud swallows with
nests, are omitted, and the porticos are
retained and made even more attractive
than in the first drawings. To.night the
committee have about formulated the
measure which is expected to authorize
the executive department to make the
contract for granite.
Disposition of British Troojrs.
Korti, March 7.—During the summer
the main body of British troops remain in
camp near here, with headquarters at
Dongola. The murdir of Dongola's army
will remain at Merawi with Gen. Buller’s
contingent. Two movable colums under
Generals Dormer and Brackenbury will
be stationed between, Debbeh and Handak.
in constant readiness for action. The wind
now blows like a furnace.
The “Gordon Free State.”
London, March 7.—The Pall Mall Ga-
zette urges the best testimony possible to
make for General Gordon would be the
formation of the “Gordon Free State,”
upon the plan of the Congo Free State,
formed by the International African asso-
ciation, the new state to embrace the Nile
country, and its object to be the holding
of that waterway in behalf of trade aud
civilization. The Gazette things the for-
mation of the proposed “Gordon Free
State” could easily be effected after the
construction of the Suakim and Berber
railway.

The Big Springs Pantagraph prints this
paragraph :
The man who writes, and writes in verse
Is seldom worth a tinker’s curse.
The man who plays the violin,
Is always lazier than sin.
The man who thinks he knows it all,
Displays a mighty sight of gall.
The man who thinks himself the best,
Is he whom we should all detest.
But he who pays, the printer is

Bayard, of Delaware, secretary of state;
Daniel Manning, of New York, secretary
of the treasury; William C. Endicott, of
Massachusets, secretary of war; William

sippi, secretary of the interior; William

al ; Augustus II. Garland, of Arkansas,
attorney-general.
Called on the Presidesst*
Washington, March 6.—The crowd of
callers at the White House to-day was
even greater than yesterday. They began
to arrive before the doors opened, and
continued coming in large numbers all
day. The president received some of
them in the library and others in the east
room—just as it happened to be conven-
ient. This arrangement kept him busy
running up and down stairs. The major-
ity of callers consisted of delegations from
different states. Among the later callers
were Representatives Randall, Hancock,
Fielder and Curtin ; Senator Pugh, A. K<
McClure, Postmaster-general Hatton, the
Bandall club of Pittsburg, the Governor’s
guard of Columbia, S. C., Col. O. Payne,
of Ohio, and Mrs. Tyler, widow of ex-
President Tyler.
Miss Cleveland’s Reception.
Washington, March 7.—Miss Cleveland
held the first Saturday afternoon recep-
tion at the White House to-day. The
callers, both ladies and gentlemen, num-
bered several hundred, a majority being
strangers.
Made a Popular Selection.
Washington, March 7.—The correspond-
ence sent by the associated press from here
announcing the appointment of General
Black as commissioner of patents, has de-
veloped the fact that President Cleveland
has made a popular selection. The ap-
pointment is well received in all quarters,
and it is said the general will be asked ta
assume the duties of the office at an early
day.
Secretary Eamar’,* Course to be Very
Conservative.
Washington, March 7—Secretary Lamar
received a great number of congratulatory
calls to-day. The commissioner-general
of the land office, commissioner of Indian
affairs and commissioner of pensions had
prepared their resignations, but at the
secretary’s request they deferred present-
ing them until Monday. One of Secretary
Lamar’s first official acts was to reinstate
Mr. Hanna as private secretary to the
secretary of the interior, which position
he held under Secretarys Schurz and Tel-
ler. From remarks that have been made
by the new secretary, it is evident his in-
tention is to adopt a very conservative
course.
Grover
Of the Proceedings o the Nlnteenth
Legislature.
Precisely at 12: 30 the head of the pro-
cession appeared coming out of the main
east door of the capitol. President Ar-
thur stepped to the front of the platform
followed by the president-elect, Chief Jus-
tice Waite and the sergeant-at-arms of the
senate. All Uncovered as they stood fac-
ing the crowd, and the vast assemblage
cheered again and again for several min-
utes.
It was in the following order : Marshal
of the District of Columbia, marshal of
the Supreme Court, ex-presidents and ex-
vice presidents, Supreme Court, sergeant-
at-arms of the senate, cominitteee of ar-
rangements, president and president-elect,
vice president and secretary of the senate,
members of the senate, diplomatic corps,
heads of departments, retired generals of
the army, the admiral of the navy and
officers of the army and navy, who, by
by name, have received the thanks of con-
gress, members of the house and mem-
bers-eleet, governors and ex-governors of
state, officers of the senate and officers of
the house, all other persons who have
been admitted to the floor of the senate
chamber, followed by those who have
been admitted to the galleries.
The stand on which the president was to
deliver the inaugural address was erected
almost on a level with the floors of the
senate and house, and directly in front of
the middle entrance to the capitol. It is
about 100 feet square, the largest ever be-
fore erected for an inauguration, and cov-
ered by 2000 chairs. These were occupied
by senators, members of the diplomatic
corps, judges of the supreme court and
members of the house and press represen-
tatives.
Before the president left the senate
chamber the crowd in front of the stand
had increased until it became one solid
mass of humanity for nearly 400 feet in
front of the stand, and more than 1000
feet on either Side. The crowd continued
less solid in tbe rear. The trees in the
great lawns were filled, and tbe roofs of
surrounding dwellings were covered, and
on the roof of the capitol some 200 men
and boys had congregated.
When the persons who were to assist in
the ceremonies were seated, President-
elect Cleveland began his inaugural ad-
dress. He was dressed in a full suit of
black, Prince Albert coat, high old fash-
ioned standing collar and black tie. In
speaking he had his left hand closed well
behind him, and emphasized by gestures
his right. He spoke without manuscript,
but occasionally consulted small prepared
notes. ' His voice was clear and resonant,
and he slowly enunciated his words, and
occasionally turned about at pauses as if
to notice the effect of his remarks. Fol-
lowing is his
Inausural Address.
“Fellow-citizens:—In the presence of
this vast assemblage of my countrymen. I
am about to supplement andsealby oath
which I shall take, the manifestation of
tbe will of a great and free people. In the
exercise of their power and right of self-
government, they have committed to one
of their fellow-citizens a supreme and sa-
cred trust, and be here consecrates himself
to their service. This impressive ceremo-
ny adds little to the responsibility with
which 1 contemplate the duty I owe to
the people of this land. Nothing can
relieve me from anxiety lest by any act of
mine their interests may suffer, and noth-
ing is needed to strengthen my resolution
to engage every faculty and effort in the
promotion of their welfare. Amid the din
of party strife the people’s choice was
made, but its attendant circumstances
have demonstrated a new strength and
safety of government by tbe people. In
each succeeding year it more clearly ap-
pears that our democratic principle needs
no apology, and that in its fearless and
faithful application is to be found the
surest guaranty of good government. But
the best results in the operation of the
government wherein every citizen has a
share, largely depend upon the proper
limitation of purely partisan zeal and
effort, and a correct appreciation of tbe
time when partizanshfp should be merged
into the patriotism of the citizen.
“To-day the executive branch of the
government is transferred to new keep-
ing; but this is still the government of
all the people, and it should be none the
less the object of their affectionate solici-
tude. At this hour the animosity of po-
litical strife, the bitterness of partisan de-
feat and exultation of partistn triumph
should be supplanted by ungrudging ac-
quiescence to the popular will, and by
conscientious concern for the general
weal. Moreover, if from this hour we
cheerfully and honestly abandon all sec-
tional prejudice and distrust, and deter-
mine, with manly confidence in one an-
other, to work out harmoniously the
achievements of our national destiny, we
shall deserve to realize all the benefits
which our happy form of government can
bestow.
“On this auspicious occasion we may
well renew the pledge of our devotion to
the conssitution which was launched by
the founders of the republic and conse-
crated by their prayers and public devo-
tion, and which has for almost a century
borne the hopes and aspirations of a great
people through prosperity and peace, and
through the shock of foreign conflicts,
and the perils of domestic strife and vicis-
situdes. By the father of his country our
constitution was commended for adoption
as the ‘result of a spirit of amity and mu-
tual concession.’ In that same spirit it
should be administered, in order to pro-
mote the lasting welfare of the country
and to secure' the full measure of the price-
less benefits to us and those who will suc-
ceed to the blessings of our national life.
“The large variety of diverse and com-
peting interests subject to federal control,
persistently seeking the recognition of
their claims, need give us no fear that
‘the greatest good to the greatest number’ •
will fail to be accomplished. If, in the
halls of national legislation, that spirit of
amity and mutual concession shall pre-
vail in which the constitution had its birth;
if this involves the surrender or postpone-
ment of private interests} and the aban-
donment of advantages, remuneration
may be found in the thought that a com-
mon interest is subserved and general
welfare advanced.
“In the discharge of my official duty I
shall endeavor to be guided by a just and
unstrained construction of tbe constitu-
tion, a careful observance of the distinc-
tion between the powers granted to the
the federal government and those reserved
to the states or to the people, and by a
cautious appreciation of these functions,
which, by the constitution and laws, have
been especially assigned to the executive
branch of the goverdment; but he who
takes the oath to-day to preserve, protect
and defend the constitution of the United
States only assuines the solemn obligation
which every patriotic citizen, on the farm,
in the workshop, the busy marts of trade,
and everywhere, should share with him.
“The constitution which prescribes his
oath, my countrymen, is yours; the gov-
ernment you have chosen him to adminis-
ter for a time is yours; the suffrage which
executes the will of freemen is yours; the
laws and entire scheme of our civil rule,
from the town meeting to the state Capi-
tols and the national capitol, are yours.
Your every voter, as surely as every chief
magistrate, under his high sanction,
though in a different sphere, exercises a
public trust. Nor is this all. Every citi-
zen owes to the country a vigilant watch
and close scrutiny of its public servants,
and a fair and reasonable portion of their
fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the peo-
ple’s will impressed upon the whole frame-
work of our civil policy—municipal, state
and federal—and this is the price of our
liberty and inspiration of our faith in our
republic.
“It is the duty of those serving the peo-
ple in public place to closely limit public
expenditure to the actual needs of govern-
ment, economically administered, because
this bounds the right of the government
to exact tribute from the earnings of labor
or property of citizens, and because public
extravagance begets extravagance also
among the people. We should never be
ashamed of the simplicity and prudential
economies which are best suited to the op-
eration of a republican form of government
and most compatible with the mission of
the American people. Those who are se-
lected for a limited time to manage public
affairs are still of the people, and may do
much by their example to encourage—
consistently with the dignity of their offi-
cial functions—that plain way of life
which among their fellow-citizens aids
integrity and promotes thrift and pros-
perity. *
“The genius of our institutions, the
needs of our people in their home-life,
the attention which is demanded for the
settlement and development of tbe re-
sources of your vast territory, dictate tbe
scrupulous" avoidance of any departure
from the foreign policy commended by
the history, the tradition and the prosper-
ity of our republic. It is the policy of in-
dependence favored by our position and
defended by o.ur known love of justice
and by our power. It is the policy of
peace suitable to our interests. It is the
policy of neutrality, regarding any share
in foreign broils and ambitions upon oth-
er continents, and repelling their intrusion
here. It was the policy of Monroe, and
Washington, and Jefferson. Peace, com-
merce and honest friendship with all na-
tions ; entangling alliances with none.
“A due regai d for the interests and pros-
perity of all people demands that our
business shall be estalished upon such a
sound and sensible basis as shall secure
safety and confidence of business inter-
ests, and make the wages of labor sure
and steady, and that our system of reve-
nue shall be so adjusted as to relieve the
people from unnecessary taxation, having
a due regard to the interests of capital in-
vested and workingmen employed; and
avoiding tbe accumulation of a surplus in
the treasury to tempt extravagance and
waste. Care for the property of the na-
tion and for the needs of future settlers
require that the public domain should be
protected from purloining schemes and
unlawful occupations.
“The conscience of the people demands
that the Indians without our boundaries
shall be fairly and honestly treated as
wards of the government, and their edu-
cation and civilization promoted with a
view to their ultimate citizenship; and
that polygamy in the territories, destruc-
tive of the family relationship, and offen-
sive to the moral sense of the civilized
w< rid, shall be n pressed.
“The laws should be rigidly enforced
which prohibit the immigration of a ser-
vile class to compete with American
lai or, with no intention of acquiring citi-
zenship, and bringing with them the re-
taining habits and customs so repugnant
to o ir civilization.
“The people demand reform in tbe ad-
ministration of the government and the
application of business principles to pub-
lic affairs. As a means to this end civil
service reform should be in good faith en-
forced. Our citizens have the right to
protection from the incompetency of pub-
lic employes who hold their places solely
as the reward of partisan service, and from
the corrupting influence of those who
promise, and the vicious methods of those
who expect such rewards ; and those who
worthily seek public employment have
thought fit to insist that merit and compe-
tency shall be recognized instead of party
subserviency or the surrender of honest
political belief, in the administration of a
government pledged to do equal and ex-
act-justice to all men.
“There should be no pretext for anxiety
touching the protection of freedmen in
their rights or their security in the enjoy-
ment of the privileges under the constitu-
tion and its amendments. All discussion
as to their fitness for the place, accorded
to them as American citizens, is idle and
unprofitable, except as it suggests the
necessity for their improvement. The
fact that they are citizens entitles them
to all the rights due to the relation, and
charges them with all its duties, obliga-
tions and responsibilities. These topics
and the constant and ever varying wants
of an active and enterprising population
may well receive the attention and the pa-
triotic endeavors of all-who make and ex-
ecute the federal law.
“Our duties are practical, and call for
industrious application and intelligent
perception of the claim of public office—
and. above all. a firm determination, by
united action, to secure to all people of
the land tbe full benefits of the best form
of government ever vouchsafed to man.
And let us not trust to human effort alone,
but humbly acknowledge the power and
goodness of Almighty. God, who presides
over the destiny of nations, and who has
at all times been revealed in.our country’s i
history. Let us invoke His aid and His i
blessing upon our labors.” I
