NEw-HAvEs. Wednesday. n


The newlv elected State officers were duly installed ID
their respective offices to-day with appropriate ceremonies
The morning opened inauspiciousy with high wind and
heavy rain but before noon clouds broke away and the
dav was ali that could desired for the celebration OF the
occasion. Soon after noon the parade commenced ana
upward of 1900 men under arms were reviewed on me
Green by Gen Uayley the Governor elect after when te
procession was formed and the Governor and state officers
we're escorted through the principal streets OF the city to
the State House where the oath m olce was administered
Gov Hawey then delivered his Inaugural Message before
the Senate and House of Representatives IN JOINT Con-
pcntion -----.----
The Message is short and dwells mostly on matters Of
State interest. He suggests tnat the SohsutulionAi
small class of citizens, who have been denied It, because
Of their color since the ?ear 1918 which amendment was
rejected last year. heagan submitted to the electors OF he
State IN a scasOnabe time.
With reference to Federal relations he remarked that the
heart of he nation ougs the day of restoration when
every all its parts shall be performing Its natural
functions the great system without external
restraint but lie adds that the country will never con-
sent that any but loyal men shall receive ITS favor or s
sm0ag its rulers that the nation has right to examine
fully INTO the new State organizations and to learn the
purns of the rulers and test their legislative action by
the security and happiness enjoyed by the unquestonaby
loyal smong their people. lie suggests that something
further may be needed forfy the future Of the Rcpub
lie and upon this be would the Legislative branch Of
the Federal Government decide speedily, but thoughtfny
and s0lndy the question OF universal sGnragc lie
says there will be immeiae and great inequalities and
certain PROMISE Of future agatons and commissions If
the entire population Of the lately lnsnrgent States
be incuded in the basis of Federal representation,
while 40O0 900 remain excluded from even the hope OF
becoming voters. lie claims that the nation should de.
mand the sodgmcnt that the war had destroyed
the doctrine of secession; and should immunity
any taxation for the payment OF The Rebel debts and
guarantee full protection everywhere for all persons of
whatever race color The nation, he says, has won
things They not indemnity for the past but
security for the future. They not for the party but
for mankind and essential to the aud glory o.
a ChistiEn and democratic government
New-York tribune., 1866-05-03

.ho ers, nlace. we assume it TO be an axiom that
,ho ,eope Of this City have no confidence whatever
-. borostv of the Common Council or OF the Board
&c s,,orvsors Both bodies are rotten and, il neces-
sorr We can prove it. They must be closely watched
and checked otherwise the wealth and resources oi
our people will be irttered away
The Board Of Revision was a measure calculated to
eecrre an honest and economical administration OF
municipal affairs. Ii was measure calculated also
to obtain large revenue from the property owned by
tbe City-tus greatly reducing the burdens Of taxa
ton. To prove our assertions, let the measure speak
for itself:
srcox usie it necessary for the Board Of Revision 70
Sad1ed sR fgs5 sHS y fS18G aon "D'' Tue ""0' ''
SIC 10 enacted bIt every contrac. not thus confirmed
SEC II enacted that no real OF easeho property belonging
to the City should be sold leased without the sale OF tease
being confirmed by the Board Of Revision. .
SIC ~ enacted that all contracts for purchasing or s
property for the City be confirmed by the Board OF lie
SIC IS enacted sat tho Boaric Revision should possess
All the sudr powers Of the Board OF Supervisors OF the
Common Counch and Of the Department Of Finance.
SIC II enac ed that the Board Of Revision should submit
proposed eIpepure for the ensuing year the purpose Of
carry ing on tie City and County Governments
These sections, the synopsis Of which we have
given above. comprise all the main features of a
measure which Tie Times. after its usual manner,
thinks proper to stigmatize as Vigilance Com
mitee;" and it is for opposing a measure so fraught
with good to the City Of New-York that it bestows
so many praises upon Senator Lent.
Wherein this measure partakes of the nature of
Vigilance Committee we cannot see. We confess
that Board OF Revision, with the powers conferred
by the above sections, would, no doubt, exercise
great vigilance in protecting the interest Of the tax
payers Of this City; and this is the very vigilance
would ourselves from the corruponiss and their
allies who rule Us
This =" Board of Revision was in fact nothing more
than an Auditing Board, similar to the Auditing
Board of the ate. Ii was intended to operate, aud
would have acted a check to the lavish reckless,
graced our City. And it is this good measure for
form that The Times calls Vigilance Committee"
and praises Senator Lent for opposing.
Ii is true that the " Board of Revision " found no
sympathy from Mr. Lent nor are we aware that any
other measure introduced into the Senate looking for
reform found in him a friend
If We are misnfOrmed, we are willing to have light
furnished u.s.
The only point is, would the Governor have ap-
pointed such men as manage to get elected in this
City
We know that the " Board of Revision" and the
" Board Of Public Works both good measures for
our City-met with no sympathy from Senator Lent,
and We trust City readers will recollect it here
after

CHARLES a.. CORNELL. SENATOR AND
STREET COMMIssIONER.

Mr.. Charles G. Cornell as the Street Commits
soner asked for an appropriation OF $4,000 for the
current year, for the purposes OF working the
Eighth-ave. from Observation-Disclosures to One
hundred-and fifty -ninth-sts., as country road"
Bal te Controller in his estimate, or financial budget
for 1896 cut down this amount to $25, 900: and last
March Mr. Charles G. Cornell as member of the
Senate Committee on Municipal Affairs, reported that
sum for that purpose in the Tax Levy for 1866, and
afterward Nil Charles G.. Cornell, sitting Senator,
voted for that appropriation to be made Now, as
there are about 1910 feet to be worked, this
appropriation gives five dollars per foot for the whole
distance This makes it about as expensive job to
work country road as was the making of the
Hudson River Railroad, with its rock excavations,
tunneling, bridging and grading! Last year,
s34 600, or seven dollars per foot, was spent OIL
this same road between the same limits. This
is nothing more nor less than vast swindle, for
which Mr.. Cornell is responsible. He is going to
work" the Eghth-aye., as he works everything else
to his own advantage, doubt. But perhaps another
little fact may explain Mr. Corners idea Of work
ing this job In another section Of the new law, the
Stree. Commissioner is empowered TO use the ap-
propratiou for any road" purpose, in and about any
contract for adwor be may make or may heretofore
have made. By virtue of this permission, no doubt
the So 900 appropriated to the Eighth-ave. will be
worked" into the pockets of contractors in dozen
other parts Of the City and the residents on the lire
of the country road will never see the elegant bonle-
ward which could be laid out for five dollars foot.
VIII this little job Of Mr.. COrnells be borne in mind
by Mayor Hoffman when the Office of Street Com
missioner becomes vacant next Fall, and when new
incumbent is to be appointed
It was currently stated by parties who had taken
some pains to inform themselves that this Mr. Cor
nell's Senatorial honors cost him SSO,OoO-and nc
doubt he feels to shift this burden as rapidly
as possible upon the taxpayers We shall ventilate
several more OF Mr.. Cornes philanthropic efforts to
serve his friends and himself at the same time.
