Was iataugurated at Frankfort on the 1st
inst. In his Inaugural Address he contends
that the revolted States did not change their
status by rebeHing : that all that is necessary
for them to do is to return to their fealty, and
tslse-telfeir position States that the Rebel
lion did not remit them to territorial state.
He says we have now, and will have before
the esRebellion closes, the Identical Constitution
which extremists seek to destroy, the one by
innovation, the other by force. 1t is not re-
stored Union, not reconstructed Union that
Kentucky desires, butla preserved Union and
restored peace upon constitutional basis.
The Governor strongly objects to the arm
ing of negro regiments, and asks what is to be
done with such soldiers at the end of the war.
He points to the result of the recent election
as proof that Kentucky will not fraternize
with Rebellion5 either openorcovert, and de-
clares that Kentucky ever has been, and now
is, and always will be, loyal to the Govern
ment of our fathers.

GOV. Tod and, .he pratt. q


Whenithe call for 100000 drafted men was
made last year, the Governors of Pennsylva-
MIA, New Y FORK, Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut, applied for and got permission to i'll their
quotas by volunteer enlistments for nine
months, and at once organized alarge number
of nine mouths regiments. Gov. Tod, though
strenuorsly urged to adopt the same policy,
refused to do SO, but insisted on receiving no
volunteers for less than three years There
suit was, that of about $1,000 called for BY
the draft, all but about, IL 600 were raised for
three. years before the draft, and the balance
made up by three years substitutes, and vol
untary enliStlnents after the draft.
The policy Of the Governor in enforcing
the draft last fail created considerable dissasis-
faction at the time, and his policy in this re-
spect was frequently contrasted with that OF
the Governor of Pennsylvania, and other
States. Now, however, the wisdom Of Gov
Tods policy is seen, forowhile the nine months
troops from the East are going home, and the
government is making a new draft to fill theil
places, Ohio's quota is full of three years
men, and we are only called on for about
5000 men to fill up the waste, and these. car
be raised by volunteering, and thus We art
spared draft in Ohio this fall.
Will those who complained last fail, nov
give Gov. Tod credit for his policy 4 .,-1,a -o

will be some black men who can remember
