:. Governor HARRndAN, Of New Hampshire, was
inaugurated at Concord, on Friday and delivered
his inaugural message to the Legislature. Speak
ing of national affairs, he said reconstruction had
been stimulated by Congress, but retarded by
Executive folly. He concluded by saying that 'the
rightful authority has at last presented its uki-
matuu. The Executive cannot, the judiciary will
not, the South dare not evade its requirements.
The result is full Of promise for the early pacfca-
ton ofthe country Governor SMYTH's yaledictory
makes satisfactory exhibit Of the condition OF the
Stale Treasury. The receipts, Tor the year ending
June L, 1867 were So, O9s, ,s2S.s4. Tho disburse-
ments for the year amounted to So 038 So. Cash
in the treasury June /, 1867, $55 244o. The total
debt of the State on the 1st inst ,776.95.
The reduction in the debt the past year amounted

Hampshire for war purposes amounts to Sc, ,s5267S

General Government for war expenses 1897, ,122.
Coup DE soLEn by those unacquainted with
the variations OF our climate is usually considered
an accident peculiar to hot countries; and 30 in
deed, in certain sense it is. But the liability to
it. for some reason still unknown is greater in the
temperate climate and Northern latitude OF New
York than in our semi-tropical States. Thus We
have not yet heard Of single case OF sunstroke
here this season, while in New York we see by the
papers there were several cases, one OF them
fatal, last Wednesday.
THE WASHINGTON Chronicle says: ''The registra-
tion order issued by Major-General soHor1E1D is
heartily approved by Mr.. STANTON and General
GRANT, and the construction therein given to the
DISTINGUISHING clauses Of the Reconstruction Act
may be taken as the opinion Of the military branch
Of the Government as against Mr. STANsBERRY's
opinion. The order gave such satisfaction to
General GRANT that he sent a copy Of it imraedi-
ately to General ORD for his guidance"
