with "the people Over the Speakers
stand were five United States flags some
what battle-soiled, stranger to the pro
cecdings, after seeing and hearing all that
afterwards took place, would have con
cluded that these flags were trophies cap
tured from the enemy. In q few minutes,
music from the band announced that
the Governor and Governor elect We're
at the bar of the House. They were es-
corted to the Speakers stand by the Com
mttee of Arrangements. Gen. Brown
was accompanied by his brother, Neill s.,
and Judge Pete Turney. DR. Hoyt prayed
an appropriate prayer wherein he COM

its peacefulness, and prayed obedience to
law, peace, harmony, and good will.
Dixie" followed from the band in such
style rs to show that was their forte.
The Governor read written speech (the
substance we have given. He was as vio-
lent in d2nuneiation of the Republican
party as though making stump speech
He declared that he would execute the law
without fear or favor and dwelt long and
pathetcally on our wrongs
II was observed that Brown in his speech
called the Democratic party 1.-THE people"
Judge =. Turney administered the oath of
office, and-Tennessee had a new Govern

and appropriate prayer, and the ceremo-
nes ended. ..
At the conclusion of the prayer, the band
played, Listen to the Mocking Bird.h
The band tried to play national air or so,
but was 50 unused to playing loyal tunes

played with gusto and JUNCTION, -

J Speaker Vaughn introduced into the SEN

NASHVILLE, Oct. II, ISL
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The Senate this
morning adopted House joint resolution of
sympathy for the city of
CHICAGO.
A resolution to appropriate 5000 for her
relief was defeated in the House. In this
city there is very considerable interest
manifested ia the misfortune Of the DOOM
ed city.
Many of the members of both Houses
feel considerably
- DISAPPOINTED
! At the. action of the various committees.
| Every man who comes to the Legislature
! has his hobby, which he at once introduces
| in the shape OF bill, expecting the whole
Legislature at once to rise up and do him
homage. But some matter-of-tact fellow
moves that the bill be referred to some
committees the committee recommends its
/ rejection; their recommendation is en-
dorsed by the House, and the hobby IL
dead. The member scratches his head,
! rubs his eyes, looks around TO see if any
one is watching him, and finally solaces

PRINTING FRAUDS
Commenced their labors to-day, and will
continue them from day to day This
committee seem earnest, and determined
to sift the matter thoroughly. The bill to
let out the public printing to the
lowest bidder was defeated in the Senate
to-day by small majority. The secret of
this can readily be found in the fact that the
"Rings,' who are seeking to be elected
Public Printers, want 70 make all the
money out of the State they can, But
Senator Mcconnell to-day introduced Il
bill to reduce the compensation Of Public
Printers To what II was before the war.
This bill, or some other of like effect Will
probably pass,
seem 10 be- quite popular With the GEM
cral Assembly; and % may be safely SET
down that the taxes viii be materially re-
duccd. In the Senaie on Yesterday, res
outiOu looking To- tIejr reduction was, al
ter considerable discussion, passed with
but one negative No,e. the Seuator iioh
Hawkins.
