THE INAUGURATION.
The Inauguration Of Governor Porte
at twelve O'clock to-day was witnessed
by large number Of ladies and gentle
men. The legislature, with speaker
Paine In the chair, met in convention
Among the notables present were EX
President johnson, General Forrest
Ex-senator Haynes, Ex-Governor Neil
:. Brown, TX Governor Isham q.
Harris, and the judges of the supreme
court Of the State. The post band, en-
| gagged for the occasion, played an air,
/ after which the goveTnOr-elect, James
| ID. Porter, jr., entered, accompanied Ly
! Governor John {. Brown, Ex-Gover-
/ nOrS Neil s. Brown and Isham G..
! Harris. They were met by Speakers
/ Paine and Bond, who escorted them to
/ the speakers stand, about which soon
| gathered the judges of the supreme
/ court. A prayer was then offered by
| Rev Mr.. Nelson, of the Edgefield Bap-
tist church, who petitioned the blessings
on the outgoing and incoming officers.
Governor Brown then arose and said
he was here 10 relinquish sacred trust
cOufided to him two years ago by a
generous constituency. How he had
discharged the trust it was not for him
to say, but for the people 10 declare.
He yielded the trust more cheerfuliy
because be turns over to one elected by
great majority of the popular vote,
and woo brings with him experience
and wisdom from subordinate positions.
Without the cooperation Of the legisla-
ture he would not be able to WORK ef-
fectually. In dissolving his relations
he returned thanks to y generous peO-
pie, leaving il to heir verdict TO deter
mine how well he had been devoted to
the Interests Of the State, and in retir
ing TO private life he would be no idle
observer, but stood pledged to the veal
Of the State, whatever his station.
Governor Porter then approached,
when the oath OF office was admins.
tered by Judge Nicholson, OF the su-
preme court, after which he said:

ment Of the government Of the tate OF len.

Tonight the senatorial question has
cached fever heat, and the Maxwell
Iouse is crowded with people, all anx-
Gus to learn how the thing is gong
he candidates are nervous and uneasy,
nd the widest cOnjeCtures are indul led
q by their friends. / hear that John
on says he will be elected on the first
allOt. The opposition TO him is avow-
diy strong, but no candidate has con-
ented to withdraw for the good OF the
arty, so as to defeat him. His friends
ay they will stick to him. Should they
o so it will be very hard to beat him. {
