GOVERNOR PATTISoN.
PenBSy I,ania's New Executive Takes
His Seat.

HAERISBURG, Pa, January l6.-Mr. Pat
tiSon took up his residence at the Execu'
tive mansion this morning. His refusal
to permit himself to be made the subject
of Ostentation or display had the effect to
diminish the usual crowds upon the streets,
but there was a large number OF strangers
in the city and the inaugural ceremonies
were witnessed by a large and interested
sSsembnge. IL was expected that Pattison
would accept the escort OF the Americas
Club, OF Philadelphia, froufthe mansion to
the Capital but he refused, and accom-
panied by the Joint Legislative Committee
and Governor Hoyt, walked to the Capital
a few minutes before - o'clock, where had
already assembled the members OF the
Legislature. The oath of office was ad-
ministed 70 the GovernOr-elect by Justice
Trnnkey, when the new Governor dehv-
cred his inaugural address.
Gov. PattisOn in his message says in part:
l adopt, as OF direct application to the pres
ent time, a sentence from President Jack
sons first inaugural, in which he says:
The recent demonstration Of public senti-
ment iuscribes on list of executive duties
in characters too legible to be overlooked,

This task clearly set before him, the

to fulfill. Happily for him there can be no
doubt OF the particular subjects as to which
public anxiety for improvement has mani
tested ilselt. These are we'll defined. The
/ method oil accomplishment is q question
ior legislative wisdom ultimately to deter
mine. 50 lar as limits of address like this
VIII permit, let me briefly state few sub
Jec's OF needed reform. The people demand
the abolition Of needless offices, the fixing
OF oihclal compensation at sums commen-
Surate with service rendered by salaries
Hehnltely ascertained, rigid accountability
IN expenditure OF public moneys and rails
ing OF the efficiency Of civil service by
MAKING htneSs and integrity alone tests for
appointment. The people demand strict
economy IN the expenditure of their
moneys, simple and business-like conduct
OF the affairs OF government and the repeal
oI ali laws creating avenues for the needless
spending oil public funds at the discretion
OI oIhcials. The people demand that the
burdens as well as benefits Of the govern.
ihent snail be distributed with fairness,

uniformity and simplicity in taxation and
us G'Strloutlon IN such manner as that
%hile all shall bear their Just share OF

considerable speculation has been in
dused in as to the probabilities OF an extra
ssssion Of Congress, and as matters now
stand there seems reason TO believe that
the House may get along without 1t.
HThsre is, however, every likelihood OF
anextra session Of the Senate. In the past
ouarter OF century the President has not
falIed to call an extra session at the end OF
q Congress, and it is not at all unlikely
that this precedent will be adhered to.
The new Senators, whose terms begin
March 5, will, Of course, give the Republi-
cans majority in the Senate, and enable
then to elect their officers, but an extra
ssssion will be necessary.

are here for a meeting of the supervising
inspectors of steam vessels, which takes

berof Pittsburgh pilots will be prese nted
against a continuation of q rule adopted
two years ago, providing that on the Ohio
river and tributaries the descending boats
should give the first signal whistle
and selecting which side of the channel it
will take instead OF permitting the up
river boat to give the first whistle, express
sing its preference for a particular side OF
the channel, which could afterwards be
oyerruled by the signal OF the down river
steamer. General Dumont is in favor Of
maintaining the present rule as more ef-
fective and safer than the old one. Capt.
Brown said the river men and coal opera
tors desire to annul the present system
and return TO the old rule. This is the
first time Capt. Brown has been here since

Boston Preacher. ON Their Governor.

nounced. The Rev. DIR. Bartol analyzed
and criticized the message very severely.
He STYLES the Governor the supercargo OF
The ship Of State, and declared that the escu.
chetion OF Massachusetts, cannot be clean
ed with dirty sponge. Several preachers
present ted statistics 70 show that the Cover
nor's charges OF mismanagement OF the
States charitable institutions were false,
and nearly all charged him with gross ex-
asgeration and Misrepresentation.
