Inauguration of Governor and Lieu* tenant Governor. COI.UMMA, January IB.-Govornor William H. Ellorbo anti Lieutenant Govornor M. B. MoSwconey woro induotod into ofllco to-day. Tho coroinonics attonding tho chango of administration wero brief, not lasting over twouty minutes nltogothor. Thoro was nothing unexpooted or remarkable 'xbout tho exeroises. It would havo boon difficult to havo made tho ceremony moro formal pr brief. Several hundred, visitors, at most, witnessed tho swearing in of tho Governor. Tho young ladies from tho colleges were present in a body, also a number of Governor Ellerbeks friends in thc city. Ono of thc interested spectators was Mrs. Ellerbo, who was accompanied by her children and members of tho household. Thc procession was not over fivo minutes behind tho hour appointed for tho exercises. Sorgeant-at-arms Gaston, of thc ?Senate, with Sergeant* nt-nrms Stansoll, headed tho lino of march. Governor Ellerbo, who oamo in on the arm of Senator Mower, carno next. We woro a black frock coat and black craynt, and looked quito well. Following carno Lieu tenant Governor MoSweency with Mr. Magill, Judgo Ernest Gary with Senator Graydon, tho Rev. Mr. W. ll. Richardson with Mr. Montgom ery, Comptroller General Derham with Superintendent of Education McMahan, former ?djt. Gon. Watts with Adjt. Gen. elect Floyd, former Attorney General Barber with Attor ney General Bellinger and Mr. Sim kins with State Treasurer Timmer man. As soon as tho State officers, their escort and the Senators arrived in tho ??ouso and were seated, Mr. Scarborough, President of the Sen ate, announced the purpose of the joint assembly and that Rev. Mr. Richardson would deliver tho prayer. Mr. Richardson, of thc Washing ton Street Methodist church, deliv ered quite a long and fervent prayer. It was then announced that "thc Hon. Wm. II. Ellerbo, Governor elect, was present and ready to qual ify." Governor Ellerbo placed his hand on tho Bible and held it while Judgo Gary read thc oath, to which Governor ?llerbc gave concurrence. Governor Ellorbo wplkcd to the front of thc Speaker's stand and spoke as follows': "Fellow Citizens : Two years ago I was called by an almost unprece dented majority to the highest office within your gift. The reasons for my overwhelm: g victory aro not far to seek. Wo had just passed through four years of tho bitterest partisan warfnro that had over shaken the State. It hud arrayed brother against brother and friond against friend, lt lind engendered tho bit terest feelings between the different classes of our population. Town and country wero at war, instead of working harmoniously together for a common good. The Reform Move ment brought many substantial gains to the people; but, like every other social revolution, it brought with it concomitant, and inseparable ills of which I have spoken. The good remains ; tho evil in time disappears. Thc people, especially tho people of South Carolina, are generous, and in their hearts tho passions of partisan bato soon die out, self-consumed. " 'Twas thus, after four years of strife, tho people now, in mutual, well-bcseoroing ranks, inarched ali one way, no moro opposed against acquaintance, kindred and allies. Ignoring party lines, thoy turned with characteristic generosity to me ; not because of special worth or fitness on my part, for I had dono nothing to merit such rnnrkod esteem, but because they who know mo best believed that ns Governor I would servo no faction, but tho whole peo ple, and strive to bring in an era of peace and good fellowship. Thus was I enabled to launch the ship of State under favoring breezes. Knightly and generous souls carno forward with pledges of co-operation. Tho press, with scarcely an excep tion, promised support and prophe sied a happy voyage undor favorable skies. With many misgivings I undertook tho task to whioh I was called, scarcely daring to trust my ability to meet tho expectations of tho peoplo, Would that it had boon possible. Tho scant majority, however, recently accorded mo after a stubbornly fought light, is in sharp contrast with the overwhelming vic tory of two years ago, mid yot I have no ronson either to complain or whine. My duty ? havo performed to thc host of my ability. My mis takos I Bhall ne'thor attempt to con dono nor to shift their responsibility on otbors. With deep gratitude to tho friends who havo nover wavofed in their support, with malioe towards none and good-will towards ray fol low citizone, with a profound appre ciation o? ibo groat honor oouforred, I outer upon ray second torra ns Gov ernor ot this historio Commonwealth. To tho citizens, let rae repeat, whose votoB woro cast for mo, I can novor oxpross 'ny gratitude ) but, while dooply gratoful to ray friends, I shall ondcavor novor to forgot ray duty to tho. whole peoplo and to treat with fairness and consideration ovon tho bittorest of ray politioal onomies. 1 ropoat what was said two years ago : 'I assume this oflico untrammelled by a singlo promise inconsistent with tho welfare of tho people.' To dis charge my duties faithfully and woll, to win tho approval and to merit the conlidonco of all patriotic oitizons shall bo ray highest ambition. In my former inaugural was outlined a polioy whioh, in tho main, 1 shall still ondcavor to pursue. In conclu sion, ray countrymen, I bespeak for mysolf during tho two coming yoars, if my lifo bo spared, the 'utmoBt stretch' of your genorosity and char ity. All good citizens aro struggling, though over different roads, for tho same goal, tho highest wclfaro of our beloved Stato. Lot us vie with eaoh other, not to engender wrath and bitterness of speech, but to allay passion and prejudice and to enkindle in tho hcartn of tho rising generation a deeper love for our grand old State. With conlidonco in tho integ rity of our peoplo, with faith in fl God who favors and protects the righteous, I shall tako up tho burdon of this high trust with frosh hopo and strong courage." Thoro was applause at tho conclu sion of Governor Ellerbe's address. Lieutenant Governor McSweenoy was then presented and took tho oatl: of ollice, and, at tho conclusion ol tho ceremony, said : "Fellow Citizens and Gentlcmoi: of the General Assembly : It hos boen a time-honored custom for tho Lieu tenant Governor simply to thank thc peoplo for tho honor conferred am! to adjourn the joint assembly. 1 shall not deviate from that custom and simply desire to express to t'u peoplo of South Carolina my dcej appreciation of tho honor they have conferred in electing mo for a sccont time to preside over tho Senate Tw< years ago, when I assumed the dutioi of this ellice, I promised to 'presid? with fairness and impartiality-, simply renew that promise now U treat with courtesy and impartialit; every member of tho Senate and t< discharge th* duties of that ollie faithfully and to tho bcBt of mj ability.

In acoordarioo with notioe previ ously givon Mr. MoLaurin (S. C.) addrosBOd tho Ronato this afternoon in support of tho Vest resolution de claring tho polioy of aoquiriug terri I tory not intended to be Incorporated ' into Statos to bo unconstitutional. "Tho manifold and serious ques tions growing out of tho war with Spain aro now absorbing tho atten tion of tho Amoriean people," began Mr. MoLaurin. "I am satisfied that our notion in tho noxt month will settlo tho question of expansion. TheVe are at this timo iu tho Senate and nation at lnrgo two woll defined and distinot viows, ono a polioy of expansion, involving a now definition of our government and tho inaugura tion of a colonial system, with all tho perplexing problems inoidont to it. Tho other view opposes a polioy of imperialism, and is based upon tho governmental polioy of tho last cen tury, aud in my judgment is tho only position that is in harmony with tho Constitution and tho spirit and genius of republican institutions. KXrKHlKNCE OF THU SOUTH. Mr. MoLaurin folt that as a repre sentativo of South Coroliua ho was particularly qualified to speak on tho incorporation of a mongrol and semi barbarous population into our body politic. "Tho oxporionoo of the South for tho pnst thirty yoars with tho negro race," said he, "is pregnant with les sons of wisdom for our guidance in thc Philippines. It is passing strange th'it Senators who favored universal suffrage should now a?vooato impe rialism. There is a glaring inconsis tonoy in these positions. If thoy arc sinoere in thoir views as to tho Phil ippines thoy should propose at amendment to the Constitution whioli will put tho inferior races in tint country and tho inhabitants of thc Philippines upon an equality as tc thoir civil and political rights anti thus forovor Bottle tho voxed rac( and Huffrngo questions in this couti' try ns well ns in outlaying territories "How oan they consistently, jtistbj and, I might add, constitutionnlly advocate a polioy for outlaying tor ritorics, cmbraoing races so nearly akin to tho negro rnce, whioh (liffon so radically from tho polioy adoptee ns to that race in tho South ? Then can bo but ono answer to that quos tion, and that is that thoy substnnti nlly admit, in tho light of a third o a century's oxporienco, that univer snl suffrage is a mominiontal failun and that tho timo lins como for tin collection of this stupendous gov ornmcntal error. "Universal suffrngo in tho Soutl lung since degenerated into a rae question," continued Mr. MoLaurin "and as such lcd to tho praotion elimination of tho nogro from politic -a policy to-day wisely advoente? by tho groat leaders of tho raoo, lik Prof. Miller and Hooker Wnshing ton, and which in timo, without out sido interference, under tho guidano of tho best thought of both racoi will load to a just and mutually satia factory settlement of tho graves problems that havo ovor confronte any peoplo in modorn times. $ "It is indeed confronting to hen sonio of thoso who in tho past criti ciscd us, now that thc quostion i brought home, coniplotoly justify ou methods in providing a soborno c colonial government. "Tho Sonntor from Commotion hhs almost anqily vindicated th South, perhaps unintentionally, bil wo thank him tho moro hoartily fe his complete announcement of th divino right of tho Caucasian to go> ern tho inferior races." CONSTITUTION AI, ARGUMENT. Mr. MoLaurin thc? entered upon constitutional discussion of tho quoi tion presented by tho rosolutioi maintaining that all tho rights an powors of tho federal govornmoi aro enumerated specifically in tl Constitution, and such as woro ni thus specially defined did not exist. "Tho nation, as a nation," ho coi tended, "has no sovereign rights o: ccpt thoso oonforred by tho Const tution." Ho further contended that if tl sovereignty of tho nation is vcst( in tho Constitution, ns admitted I Mr. Platt (Conn.), it must bo oxo ciscd only in tho manner pointed 01 by the Constitution. Ho maintain! that thoro was essontial difieren betwoon tho sovoroignty oxoroisod 1 the United Stntcs and that oxoroisi by Groat Britain, for instanoo, thoro is a wide difference botwe the forms of government of tho t\ tintions. "I dony, thoroforo," sn ho, "that the Unitod States as a n tioii has a sovereign, inherent right and oontrol outside of tho grant of j suoh power in the constitution. This ' is not an essential element of nation ality so far as our nation is concerned, although it may bo in England or Russia, where the nationality. and sovereignty incident to it are not oreated and limited by a writton con stitution. "I do not, howovor, controvert the proposition that tho United States hf.? e the powor to acquire torritory by oonqucat, purohaso or otherwise, I and to govern the samo undor tho grant of powor contained in tho Con- ! stitution. I do, howevor, dony the ! proposition that torritory can bo ac quired and permanently hold as suoh by tho United Statos, of courso, sub jeo to tho oxooption of small traots aoquired for speoifio govornmeutal purposes, liko coaling stations and tho guano islands, uuder tho aot of i860. 1 think Hawaii comes undor tho ex jption of a military and com mercial necessity." NOT WORTH COLONIZING. After further dismissing tho con stitutional points of tho question Mr. MoLaurin * said it was idle to speak of Americanizing a tropical country 8,000 milcB away. Our pooplo would ' never consont that tho peoplo of that far-off land should havo a voit3 in tho affairs of this country. ..How evor," said he, "I beliovo tho timo ?B not far off when our flag will float over ovoy foot of North Atnorioan soil, but it must como naturally and peacefully by tho consont of tho gov erned, not by tho rudo hand of war." ?ovornmont by forco waa despotism, ho maintained, and if this country was u> establish a despotism it must bo propared to maintain a gront and onormouBly oxponsivo array and navy. It raoant a never ending strifo with tho nations of tho world. Mr. MoLaurin olaimod that tho commerce of tho Philippines was in significant, and ho thoroforo doubtod tho advantage of tho islands to thiB country from a financial view point, i "To become a colonizing powor," ho said, "wo must abandon our vo publioan institutions or bo paralyzed by thom. Tho oreation of offices, tho extravagant expenditure of money by ofiico holders, and tho ao tual corruption orcoping into any colonial system will soonor or later sap tho foundation of any govern ment." Discussing tho inhabitants of tho Philippines, Mr. MoLaurin said : "Of ono thing I am suro : Tho American peoplo will novor consont for those inforior races to flood our land and add another complication to tho labor problem. To ipermit cheap, Asiatic labor to como into competition with our jntelligont, well-paid labor will bo to degrado and lowor our civiliza tion. <;if wo embark in a colonial sys tom it means tho inauguration of a despotic powor in Washington. It moans a largo standing army, that will not only bo used to rulo outly ing torritorios with an iron hand, but that, soonor or lator, will bo used at homo to ovorawo and ovorrido tho popular will. Au imperialistic domooraoy, liko an athoistio roligion, is an impossible hybrid.

Then followed I a light to tho denth. Huntsingor found MoCroary, and without hesitating attaoked him. Knives wore freely used. It appears that tho husband, was somewhat worsted in his bout with MoCroary, and Mr. Oto Durham interforred.
