GOV. Weslon Inauguraied, /,

CONCORD, N. a., June 4-Goy. Weston
was inaugursted to-day. In his message
which he read to the Legislature, the
Governor discusses at some length the
subject Of temperance, and iAtimStes his
belief that entire prohibition Is against
public sentiment in New Hampshire, and
iavors the permission Of a license law Of
some form, which, he says, to be
effective must be in harmony with public
sentiment But this principle has
in q great degree been overlooked or dis.
regarded In our legiSlation on the subject
Of temperance, and the result has been
and Is, thus far the want ot proper
moral support from the public generally.
The laws can't be or viii not be enforced;
which ever OF these may be in fact, the
practical result Is the same. The total
receipts from the State tax and other
sources the past year, was $40 0G2, and
expenditures $4S4. .49l; the excess being
represented by cash on hand and the 70.
ducIion Of the state debt.

They were informed by the district

Hamilton without the approval of the

they would be arrested. This warrant,
he stated, must explain Hamilton's crime,
and the Governor OF Tamaulipas should
