Inauguration of Gov. TngersoIl.

HARTFORD, Conn, April Z.
Governor Ingersoll, after reviewing
the troops to-day, took the oath of office
at the State House and delivered his in
augural address. The Governor recon-
mends the calling of a convention for
the purpose of revising the constitution.
During the past year the State debt was
reduced 1866, 1882, and the total debt
at present is $6,095, 300, with $738, G78
cash in the treasury. In consequence of
the repeal of the usury laws, last year,
several savings and trust institutions
raised their rates of interest, a move
ment which is condemned by the Gov
ernor, who recommends that the tax be
taken off from such portion of the de-
posts as is loaned on real estate. A
guarded recommendation of the restora-
ton of the usury laws is made, although
the usury abuses are attributed to the ir-
redeemable paper currency of the ma
ton. The message concludes with a rec
concentration for the collection of labor
statistics and general denunciation of
official corruption.

TIE DISTURBED STATE HOW MATTERS
sTAND-NO FIGHTING.
New ORLEANS, May 7.
There were no Metropolitans on the
beats last night those remaining in the
city being concentrated at the stations
It is understood that those who refuse to
take rifles are allowed to resign. Several
members have left the force, declaring
that they would not take up arms against
the people of the State. Mudges gun
store was broken into by a mob during
the night, and almost its entire contents
were carried off, there being no police
men present to protect the property. 1t
is understood that an arrangement has
been made between the federal officials
and Gov. Kellogg, by which, under the
plea of enforcing civil processes against
Col. De Blanche and other leading tax
resisters, United States troops will to-
day go to the relief of the Metropolitans
at St. Martinsville De Blanche reports
is Gov. McEnery that he holds the
Metropolitans in check. No general en-
gagement had taken place at last ac-
counts.

BRONCHITIS

This is an irritation or inflammation of
the bronchial tubes which carry the air
we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises from
cold settled in the throat. from catarrh
extending to these parts, from scrofulous
affections, and from severe use OF the
voice The Irritation from this latter cause
commences in the larYnX and CLOTHS,
which are the organs of the voIca, and, ex-
tending downwards, produces hoarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous matter,
sometimes mixed with blood. 1t is chief
ly dangerous from its tendency to spread
into the lungs, and terminate i'll consump-
ton. 1t is in the cure of severe and obsti-
nate cases of this disease that Or. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery has achieved
unparalleled success, and won the loadest
praise from all who have used it. 1t is
sold by all respectable druggists. Glib

The western Congressman.

ST.. Louis, May 7.
A meeting of the executive committee
having the Congressional Convention
matters in charge was held yesterday af-
ternoon. Seventy-flve Congressman have
accepted an invitation SO far. Some diff
ference of opinion having been express
ed by Congressman as to whether they
would be expected to discuss questions
brought before the Conference, it was
decided that the third session should be
given up to them, to be used as they
might determine. A committee was APP
pointed to reply to Parson Brownlow's
letter of declension, printed in the Knox
vile Chronicle, it being believed that he
totally misapprehended the objects of
the convention

ANOTHER REcREANT HUSBAND. On
Monday, a woman with young child
entered police station in Troy, looking
for lodgings. She was sent to Captain
Cary, and to him she told pitiful story
of love and desertion. She stated her
name to be Mrs. Mary Clark, and said
that until recently she had lived III Rut-
land. About one year ago she married,
ut Rutland, man named Clark, a car
penter, and with him she lived, not,
however to the knowledge of her pa
rents. A short time ago Clark left Rut-
land, to get work at Chicago, promising
his faithful and confding wife to soon
return, and at any rate to send her mo-
ney. Since Clark's disappearance his
wife has heard nothing from him until
about two weeks since, when he agreed
to meet her at Schenectady. Leaving
home she went to the letter place and re-
NAMED there until yesterday, faithfully
awaiting his arrival While there she
gave birth to a child, and decided to
90 to Troy and earn livelihood for her
self and child, rather than let her parents
know her condition The Troy Press
says that Captain Cary kindly provided
her with lodgings at the station house.
The woman realizes her painful situation,
and does not wish to return to her pa
rents. She is refined in appearance and
gives every evidence of having been well
brought up. She was sent to Rutland
on Tuesday.

The American Department at the
Vienna Expos ton.

hONDoN, May
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily News, in letter to that journal
ridicules the American department of
the exhibition, and gives the following
as the correct list of the articles to be
seen in the section assigned to the United
States Two cases Colts firearms three
binnacles one stuffed Eagle; two salt
cellars; dentists chair, and six bottles
of water taken from the Mississippi
river. The explanation of this meagre
display is found in former mismanage-
ment of the American section, and it is
confidently hoped now that the new
commissioners and exhibitors have gone
actively to work to repair the evil effects,
and that the goods from America will
be speedily unpacked, and the exhibition
from that country will come up to the
standard expected.

A PLEASANT REUNION. Twenty-sev-
en- years ago, says the Troy Times, the
present Bishop Peck, who presided SO
ably at the last session of the Troy Con-
ference, was principal of the Troy Con-
ference at Ponltney, Rev. J. Z. Bow
en-. presiding elder of the Troy district,
Rev. C. F. Burdick, of the Albany dis
trict, and Rev. Lorezo Marshall, of the
Saratoga district, were then students at
the academy; and now, after the lapse
of these years, they meet again-the
principal n Bishop and the three students
occupying the three highest positions In
the Conference. 1t must have been
pleasant reunion, especially for the
Bishop to meet three of his old pupils in
his cabinet, as the presiding elders are
termed at the sessions of the Confer
ence. These gentlemen are all men OF
eminent piety and of real ability, and
are loved not alone by their own denom-
nation but by all others who appreciate
worth and character in the christian
ministry. Mr.. Bowen, the presiding
elder of the Troy district, has often
been returned the second term-tWice al
Plattsburgh, twice at Bennington, twice
at Fort Edward, and has been presiding
elder of two districts His reappolnt-

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION N
NEW YORK.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION IN
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, April z.
The National American Cheap Trans
portation Convention met at the Aston
House at 10. 80 this morning, r. II. Fer
guson, of Troy, in the chair The com
mittee on credentials reported that the
following organizations were allowed
representation
Boston Autobiography League, Ma
tional Agricultural Congress, Milwaukee
Mechanics and Manufacturers Associ-
alton, Illinois Farmers Association, Du-
buque Board of Trade, Humboldt Col
lege, Council of the American Fedora
ton of Workingmen, New York Work
ingmen's Lyceum, New York Farmers
Club, New York State Labor Associ-
alton, Council of Cosmopolitan Confer
ence, New York, New York Native
Workingmen's Association, New York
Mercantile and Grocers' Exchange.
THE CONSTITUTION.
A constitution and bylaws was then
reported by the committee appointed to
draft them. The constitution provides
that the organization, shall be known as
the National American Cheap Trans
portation Association, whose object shall
be the cheapening and equalization of
railroad transportation rates throughout
the United States. 1t provides for sub
ordinate associations in each State, and
regulates various matters for the guild
ance and government of national and
State associations.
THE OFFICERS.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported the following officers (;
President, Josiah Quincy, Boston; sec
rotary, H. r. Ferguson, Troy, with a
vice-president from each State represent
ed The report of the committee was
approved.
TIE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Hon. Josiah Quincy addressed the
convention on taking the chair. He said
he had spert large portion of his life
in building railroads, and he felt very
keenly the danger growing out of Amer
lean railroad monopolies. He appreciat-
ed their great benefits, but was aware of
their danger to the people. The great
graneries of Illinois held enough to sup
ply the East with food, but it depends
upon one or two men to say what shall
be paid for food when delivered in the
Eastern States. He thought something
might be done to take this power out OF
the ha2ds of few men. 1t was mat
ter that deeply interested the whole
country, and should not be controlled
by few, and the object of this associ-
alton was to counterfeit this great evil.
Railroads can bride legislatures, and
will continue to control laws until the
people shall have come together and as
sert their rights. The rights of the rail-
road shareholders arc not to be infringed
upon, but the paramount rights of the
whole people to cheap transportation,
must be asserted and secured.
On reassembling after recess, several
parties were admitted as delegates. A
letter was read from Governor Smith of
Georgia, representing the Importance OF
reduced rates of transportation, to ena-
BILE the East and South to profit by the
products of the great West.
