Inauguration of Gen. Mcclellan as Gov.
ernOr of New Jersey.

Gen. George B. Mcclellan was inau-
gurated Governor of New Jersey at
Trenton, last Tuesday, with imposing
ceremonies. Fifteen thousand persons
from various parts of the State and ad-
joining States, including number of
civic and military organizations, partic-
ipated. The city was lively with ban
ners and music, and the procession from
the Generals residence to the capitol was
very fine, and the shouts of the people
as the General passed were tremendous.
A salute of 100 guns was fired. Ex-
Governor Bedle and others escorted the
General int the capitol while band
played "Hail to the Chief" Chief JUS
tice Bearsley administered the oath and
ex-Gov. Bedle presented the great seal
If the State. Gen. Mcclellan then de-
livered his inaugural address, which
was frequently applauded. At the ex-
.cutive mansion afterwards there was a
reception, when the Veteran Association
of Philadelphia presented an address to
Gen. Mcclellan signed by 2,0S6 mem
| bers, and also silver medal made of
| half dollar picked up on the field of
| Antietam.
| Gov. Mcclellan, in his inaugural, ex-
presses himself as regarding the exist
ing settlement of the Southern question
as final, and insists that no selfish inter-
est of individuals or mistaken policy OF
party shall be allowed to revive a sub
ject which honor and interest alike re-
quire to be buried forever among the
dead issues of the irrevocable past.
| Gov. Mcclellan also refers to the late
presidential election dispute, claiming
that majority of the people of the
country feel that great wrong was
done, and that perhaps even civil wal
was averted by the patriotic spirit Of
that party which undoubtedly cast the
majority of votes at that election. He
suggests that Congress should enact such
laws as will forever prevent renewal
of such condition of affairs.
The Governor urges that the regular
: army of the United States should never
be called upon to suppress riots and dis
turbances, except as last resort, and il
is the duty of every State to provide thu
: means of keeping the peace within its
D own territory this can be best done by
maintaining we'll organized and well
s disciplined national guard of moderate
strength, and declared that he would
! foster the militia system to the best OF
J. his ability. .

EMIGRATION OF CoLORED NJ E N
VIEWS OF PRESIDENT HAVEs.-The
colored people of Florida have given
considerable attention to the subject of
improving their condition by emigrating
from the country. An organization OF
five thousand has been effected, and
Rev. Mr.. Sturks has been sent by them
to investigate the advantages of Hayti
and San Domingo. He has obtained a
great deal of information, but has been
undecided as to what was best for the
colored men to do. He had an inter
view with President Hayes on Monday
and laid the situation before him. The
President embodied his views on the
question in brief letter to Mr.. Sturks,
in which he says:
II have given some consideration to
your question as to the emigration OF
colored people of Florida to San Domin-
90. L am not well informed as to the
advantages offered by San Domingo to
immigrants, but my impression is that
your people should not be hasty in de-
Gliding to leave this country. The mere
difference in climate is a very serious
objection to removal. The first genera
ton, in such removals., suffer greatly
1t is my opinion, also, that the evils
which now affect you are likely, and,
hope, rapidly, to diminish. My advice
is, therefore, against the proposed emil
