Inauguration of Gov. Jewell.
q HARTFORD, May 10.

HARTFORD, May 10,
The weather has been fine for the inau'
guration. The ceremonies and military
display were quite imposing. The streets
were thrOnged with thousands OF people
to witness the parade. Governor Clafin
and staff, Of Massachusetts, Governor
Perham and staff Of Maine, and Governor
Fairchild, Of Wisconsin, rode in the pro-
ceSsion In carriages, escorted by n body OF
mounted Connecticut officers, commanded
by General Hawley. The legislature as
assembled at $50 o'clock. Governor
Jewell took the oath Of office, and read
the inaugural message.
GOV. JEWELS MESSAGE.
Gov Jewell in his message delivered
this morning TO the Connecticut Legisla'
turc, reviews the financial condition oI
the State and recommends many reforms
the State debt has been reduced about
100000 during the fiscal year; part oil
this reduction Is due to the large amount
Of money collected for arrears in taxes on
Mutual Life Insurance Companies and
Railroads which have been under litigation
forseveral years. The Governor commends
the work Of the School Commissioners
and says that the school fund, 81 600, ,00C
Is unimpaired and well invested. The
Saving Banks have beenincreased during
the year md number sixty.six, with an
aggregate deposit of over tifty.fve
millions The Governor recommends
additional legislation to prevent frauds al
elections also In relation to railroads
and makes some important suggestions In
relation to the right Of married women tC
hold property, and Of the laws OF divorce
OF the first he says, as he did two years
ago, that tho laws should be amended, So
as TO mike the rights Of the wife TO lIeI
property in all respects equal to those o.
her husband in his, and that the same IN
terest be secured 10 either survivor in the
property Of the other. OF the second he
asserts that the system of divorce is worse
than that in Indiana, and Is bringing the
State into disreputc In 1870 the number
Of divorces granted was 400, many o.
which wero without reasonable cause
The evil has grown so that people come
from other States where tho laws nro more
strict, TO avail themselves of the loOsC
laws Of Connecticut. IIo wants radical
change.
