Wednesday, Jan. 10.-In the Senate, the
business transacted was merely the routine of
bills and resolutions. none of which were of
special interest, until 1870 P. NJ, when the
Inauguration of the Governor took place. At
that hour the members of the House entered
the Senate chamber to participate in the cere-
monies. Governor Whyte was formally pre-
sented by Governor Bowie, and then deliver
ed the following address:
Senator's and Gentlemen otfthe
House Of Delegates
In obedience to the mandates of the people,
| offer myself ready to take the oath prescrib
ed by the Constitution, before shall assume
the office of Governor of Maryland. The dis
tinguished citizen who this day retires from
the Executive Department has, in fuliment
of constitutional requirements, made known
to you the general condition of the State, and
the report of the Comptroller furnishes the
amplest information in regard to its finances
and indebtedness. Tsese circumstances ac-
quit me from entering, at this time, into
discussion of our local affairs and relieve you
of the tedium of a twice-t told tale. Recognz-
ing also the fact that for the first time since
the adoption of the present Constitution diff
ferent shades of political opinion are repre-
sented 10 the General Assembly, | am not dis
posed to heighten the rancor of party spirit
by unnecessary animadversiou upon the Leg
relation of Congress, therefore | shall not de-
tain you by the delivery OF an inaugural adj
dress, although come to this resolve with No
little hesitation, for it is the inlraction of a
custom rendered almost imperative by the
impressive example of so many of my illus
trious predecessors, yet can see nothing Of
practical utility to be accomplished by its OBJ
servance. Moreover, standing as do in the
luminous shadow of the immortal Washing
ton, recalling the scene which has consecrated
for all time this hallowed chamber and re-
Numbering the few and simple words with
which, after incalculable service to his coun-
try, he could perform the browning act of his
military life, / feel that with me silence is
more appropriate than speech. Conscious OF
my imperfections. enter upon the duties of
this office with little self-reliance, yet with All
abiding faith in Him who will not leave nor
forsake me, but will supply my weakness
with His almighty strength.
The oath of Office was then administered by
Governor Bowie and Chief Justice Bartol, and
soon afterwards, the Senate being called to
order, adjsarned.
In the House, large number of petitions
and bills of merely local Importance were
presented Messrs. Bond, Sasscer and Cotton,
of st. Mary's, Steele and Feig were appointed
as committee to examine the Tobacco Ware
houses of Baltimore city. the House, after
participating in the inaugural ceremonies as
above stated, returned to its hall, and soon
after adjourned.
