Gov. Frazier's Inauguration.

The Inauguration of Gov. James
B. Frazier to-day was probably the
most elaborate in the recent history
of the state. There was more Ger.
emory and more of enthusiasm than
has been displayed on such occa-
sions ST late years. 1t was not the
pomp and parade that might have
characterized royal function, but
demonstration entirely in keeping
with the democratic character of the
occasion.
The hall of the House of Rep
resentatives had been most taste
fully and deliberately decorated.
There was profUsion of bunting in
the national colors, festoons of ever.
greens, palms, potted plants and
flowers in abundance. The Speak
er's desk and those Of the clerks were
mass of flowers, white and red car.
nations ntwined with smilax and
asparagus.
Possibly the unpropitious state OF
the weather dampened somewhat
the popular ardor that might other
wise have heen displayed, but if SO
it was not noticeable within the
precincts of the capitol. All who
could secure admission TO the hall
were present, and the character OF
the enthusiasm there displayed wa.
in no way in accord with the somber
cast of the skies outside.
The industrial School Band, seat.
ed in the south end gallery. rem
dered that familiar and inspiring
air, "Hail to the Chief, always
suited to such occasions, when Gov.
Frazier entered, and the enthusiastic
applause that followed demonstrated
the great popularity of the new Ex.
ecutive.
The retiring Governor was also
most graciously received, showing
the popular approval of his wise and
practical administration of the states
affairs during the two terms he has
filled the office.
The large attendance of the ladies
lent pleasingly to the spectacular ef-
feet of the-occasion and the scene
of beauty within the hall.
The entrance of the Justices of the
Supreme Court, the State officials
and other dignitaries, formally an
nounced at the bar of the House by
the Sergeant-at-Arms, mingled with
the enthusiasm, as one of impressive
solemnity in keeping with the i'm
portant character of the ceremonies.
Gov. Frazier has had a most au.
spicious installation into Office. He
has manlfestly the good will of the
people of the entire state. There
was large local representation in
the audience at the capitol, but
Nashville by no means supplied the
whole of those who took such warm
and appreciative interest in the in.
auguration proceedings. All parts
of the state were represented, and
all joined in doing honor to the man
who has been chosen to preside for
two years over the states destinies.
Gov. McMillin's intlmation that
his successor is to hold the office for
four years met liberal applause,
showing the approval of this antic-
ipatory remak.
Pellettieri's band played "Dixie''
al the conclusion of Gov. McMil.
Inns farewell address. That, of
course, served TO increase the en-.
thusiasm, and the applause was. not
only spontaneous, but both long and
loud when President Seay of the
Joint Committee introduced the new
Executive to begin his inaugural adj
dress.

"By the President

Congress on July 81, 1868,
passed legislation providing
for the distribution of the re-
ward offered by President

The first warrants drawn
on the treasury department
for the payment of the re-
ward were issued on Novem-
Der ID, 1868. There were
four of them and they called
for $4,000 each and were
made payable to Gen. Will

Capture of Jefferson Davis.

has had ample opportunities
to demonstrate to the world
that sectional feeling" is no
longer an issue in American
affairs, and that the men
from the North and their
Southern brothers are willing
to sacrifice their lives for tn e
Stars and Stripes and all the
sacred principles for which
this emblem stands. The
sectional issue" in political
campaigns is a dead factor
and the public press of today
scorns the idea of "waving
the bloody shirt in contro-
versies and discussions of any
kind. AS in all cases of a
similar nature, there always
remains an element Of irrecon-
cilables, either professionally
or sincerely so, but, FORUM
ately for the country at large
and for themselves, they are
in the small minority. Amer
lea today before the world
not only stands united, but is
stronger and weather. than
any nation of which history
ever recorded, and its inf1u-
ence is potent in the utmost
corners Of the world, and is
steadily and rapidly on the
increase.
REWARD OUTSTANDING.
Considering all these ire
futable evidences of unity
between the North and the
South, it cannot fail to sur
prise the general public that
the United States govern
ment is still offering a reward
for the capture of Jefferson
Davis, the late chieftain OF
the Confederacy; at least,
there is a sum, amounting to
81, 5O3.38 still available for
the purpose being the balance
of 500, originally appro-
priated by congress for the
Capture OF Jefferson Davis.
For the past thirteen years
this balance has remained un-
touched, all claims against it
seemingly having been salts
fled. Notwithstanding this,
however, the balance is car
ried forward each succeeding
year on the books of the war
department, which has charge
of passing on claims of this
particular nature, and in each
succeeding annual report of
the secretary of war there APP
pears in the statement of APP
preparations, subject to requi-
sition for the previous fiscal
year, under the caption, "War
Claims and Relief Acts" an
item which reads: Capture
of Jefferson Davis, 81 ,5O3.38. %
Ultimately this money, no
doubt, will be covered back
into the United States treas
ury, but before final DISPOSE
ton in this manner can be
maue, the officials of the war
department wish to be abso-
lutely certain that no merito-
rious claims against it re-
main unpaid.
The amount Of the original
reward for the capture of the
Confederate president was
500, 600. It was offered in
a proclamation issued on May
2, 1866, by President John
son, who took the oath of of

dent Lincoln. 1t was a time
