and am going to tell the silly story Of how it
happened and there is really not a conun-
drum in it from beginning to end.
Ned OMally was a good fellow, strong Of
limb and clear Of head, but as lazy boy as
ever met in all my born days. Give him
his understandable was educated at BONN
and let him hoist the lug-sail Of that boat Of
bis on fnc summer day, with the southeast
wind playing Oh his quarter, and be vas as
happy as a Prince.
Byron knew what joy that was; and it
was a JOY havo often shared with Ned
O'MalIey. Can you realize it yourself? that
west coas. Of Ireland-tho wide ocean before
you, calm and smooth in its terrific power
like a sleeping lion; and this glorious Amcri-
ca Of ours three thousand miles away. That
wide breadth Of ocean, as far as eye can stretch
on a summer afternoon, with the whitesaiIed
ships floating before you Ike shadows in .
dream, and the wonderful golden " line ofligbt
stealing away to where it meets the sun sink
ing into its bed ofclouds.
And l have been there with Ned. And
have held the tilIer-ropo and watched the lug
sail and as VIC went before the wind, have
felt as if VIC were not things of land and water,
and that every power Of Nature must shrink
and bow down before the immortal soul Of
man.

Tho boy who does a stroke and stops
VIII ne'er 4 great man be-:
IT'S the aggregate of single drops
That makes the sea, the sea.
The mountain was not at its birth,
4 mountain. so to speak;
The little atoms Of sand and earth
Have made its peak, peak.
Not all at once the morning str cams
The gold above the gray:
IT'S thousand little yellow CLEANS
That make the day, the day.
Not from the snowdrift May awakcs
In puppies, reds and greens;
Spring. whole bright retinue it takes
To make her queen Of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch 20 root,
And blossoms bloom and fade, witial,
Before the fruit Is fruit.
The farmer needs must sow and till,
And wait the wheaton bread,
Then cradle, thresh and 60 % mill
Before the bread is bread.
Swift heels may get the early shout
But, spite OF all tho din,
1t is the patience hoidiHg ont
That makes the winner win.
Make this your MOTTO, then, AZ start,
Twill help 90 smooth the way,
And steady up both hand and heart:

inaugural Address.
By Governor John j. Jacob.

Fdl9r- Citizens Of Hcsl Virginia:
BY the Constitution and laws Of the State, I
am charged with the performance Of duties
which more or less affect the interests and
well-bcing of all tho people. However light
these duties may seem, when compared with
those imposed upon the chief executive Off
GERS Of some Of cur larger sister States, yet
with respect TO the freedom and welfare Of our
own people they are most grave and import
ant. ! do not, therefore. enter into the Office
to which have been elected by your sulrages,
with that confidence in my ability to meet sue
cessfully all of its responsibilities, which one
with larger experience in public affairs might
rightfully claim nor, do look upon the Office
itself as an empty honor, simply TO be confer
red by the people Of the State upon ono Of her
citizens.
THE RIGHT OF ALL TO BE PROTECTED.
Though elected to Office by one Of the great
political parties Of the country, ! do not con-
ceive it to be my duty to regard the rights
and interests of that party alone. The views
and wishes. and may not also say, the lseju
dices to some extent Of all, must be regarded
and respected. The minority rs well as the
majority; the few as well as the many; have
rights which cannot be trampled upon, with
out giving shock 10 our whole political sys-
ten.
The blind unreasoning rule Of tho majority
over the minority is wholly at variance with
the spirit Of our republican institutions, and if
we ever loose our boasted freedom it will be
when we forget that others have rights as well
rs ourselves.
Our written Constitution, and the laws made
in pursuance thereof are intended 10 afford
ample protection to the rights Of all c:t1ens
alike and if it fail in this respect in the slight
est degree, surely all should consent to cor
rect the wrong by amending it. 1t is my pri-
mary duty TO see that the Constitution be pre-
served inviolate, aud that the laws he faithfully
executed. 1t is my province neither to make
laws nor to construe them, except SO far as au-
thorized to do 50.
The Legislative and Judicial Departments
of the Government have their well defined and
independent powers and limitations, and their
appropriate functions must not be invaded by
the Executive department.
ECONOMY AND LIGHT TAXATION.
The continued advancement Of our people Ia
wealth aud in tho arts Of civilized life demand
that as small proportion of their means shall
he withdrawn from the productive form Of in
dustry in the way Of taxes as is compatible
with the requirements Of well organized
Government. The position that heavy taxa
ton is ultimately no loss or injury to q people,
from tho fact that the money drawn from them
in this way is refunded by its expenditure
among them, is a dangerous fallaey. Every

SIX TO oHE---sueeEsrIvE.


Democratic Journals are again Mortified
at niger riotn at Meridian, Mississippi,
some account of which has appeared in
our dispatches. AS usual, the attempt has
been made to have it appear that the fault
is all with the negroes. They are the ag-
gressors, and their virtuous opponents
have done all they could to keep trouble
down. But the latest we have seen-a
special dispatchto the Nashville Union and
Anserican-tells significant story. 1t is
as follows:
information from jackson, Miss, states that
at the riot which occurred at Meridian, Miss,
yesterday, between negroes and whites, SIX ne
groes and one white man were killed."
''Sir negroes and one white man were
killed. Here we have the case in a nut
shell: Why is it that six negroes were
killed and. only one white man? If the
negroes were the aggressors, does it not
appear reasonable that they would have
been prepared for it? When emily one
white man was killed, 1t must appear that
the negroes had not premeditated any dis
turbance. The fact that six negroes were
killed shows very conclusively that the
whites were prepared TO do the killing
This is about the way these riots usually
result. The negroes are killed in about
the proportion of six to one, and yet 1t is
always attempted to be shown that the ne
groes are the aggressors.

The city is in fearful stew ever the failure of
Uncle Sam to permit the Kuklux to say how he
shall run his postroutes /; and prominent MEM
Der Of the House has boldly said if it comes to
a question between a negro mail agent and the
Kuklux, he is in favor of the latter. This same
gentleman, not long since, said he wished the
Ohio river was a river of fire, SO that any COM
munication between the North and South would
be impossible
The above from the Frankfort cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Gazette explains
the aninlus of the meanest class of the
Bourbon Democrats of Kentucky. It is
the emanation of mind so belittled and
embittered by pure partisanism as to make
him libel upon his species. No wonder
that Legislature that had such an en-
lightened CD member should refuse
charter to the Cincinnati and Chattanooga
Railroad, or refuse to rebuke band of
masked villains who defied the majesty of
the law, its creators and administrators by
riding into their very presence, and
wrenehing from the law officers of the
State a desperate, VIGOROUSLY guilty of a
brutal, cowardiy murder. This little-
souled creature is fit representative of the
Bourbon spirit of Kentucky Democracy,
and Kentucky Democracy is the legitimate
offspring of pure, lInadulterated hatred Of
the Federal Government.
