Governor John Peter Richardson was duly inaugurated oil 'uesday the :k0th alt., in the Opera louse at Columbia. After taking the oath of oflice. Governor Richardson iade his inaugural address, as follows: Gentlemen of the Senate and house of Itepresentatives: 1 is with a deep sense of the responsibility and obliga tion 1 assumel that I lave just taken in this solemn presence the constitutional oath of ofilcc as Gjovernor of South Car olina. With no ordinary emotion, and with a heart full of gratitude to the people of this State, through whose partial kind ness I am the rcipient of this exalted honor, 1 this day enter upon the dis charge of its high duties, to the faithful, hvnest, vigilant and p-atriotie execution of which 1 pledge the honor of a devoted son of Carolina. Sincerely distrustful of my own abili ties, I contidently rely upon you, their chosen represenatives, for such wise, liberal and conservative action as will reider the progress of the State in material prosperity rapid and the execu tive administration of her affairs easy. To the most unobservant and indiffer eut it must be apparent that these are times fruitful of vast and pressing problems, social, industrial and econoni ie, both in State and national aflairs, which demand for their solution the ablest talent and most unselfish patriotisi. Notwithstanding the dual nature of our institutions and government, investing the citizen, as it. does, with varied duties and interests, the peculiar condition of dur State, socially and politically, during the dark days of reconstruction, rigidly cronfined the attention of our people to the seemingly hopeless and Herculean task of wresting from a chaos of cor ruption and venality in all their hideous forms, and of -universal malfeasance i official life, such as had never before dis graded the annais of a -:ivilized coinmu nity, order and good government. . How successfully, how marvelously, this has been accomplished, need I at tempt to describe? Surely, it can never be possible that the deep. soul-burning humiliations, the cruhing tyrannv. the iuinous taxation we so long endured, the bold effrontery of loathsome vice in high places that stalked in open daylight throuh the streets of this beautiful apitz, have so soon passed out of mind and been forgotten like the idle terrors of a dream, amidst the quieting, restful surroundings of the renewed peace, order aid good government we now so bounti fully enjoy. To the people of Carolina, I verily believe, one of the greatest mis fortunes that could occur would be an oblivious disregard of a former experi 'ence that, upon the least cessation of vigilance on their part, might, and would almost surely, again become a terrible possibility. The same elements of evil are here, the same forces present, though latent; but to this generation, who are the witnesses of and the sufferers from certaily' the most anomalous and ex traordinary condition of political and social life under which a people ever lived, I do not think there can ever come any deluge of Lethean waters so over whelming as to sink into oblivion the bit ter memories of the past. Sad, indeed, would be the sure results of crimainal for getfulness of a lesson so roughly taught, so heroically learned! No, this can never be. We are again in the house of our fathers, as masters and rulers, and we are here to stay as such for all time; but to stay inspired by the true instinets of libet' and animated solely by a high and natmotic purpose to wspense even handied justice,. to maintain the purity of our institutions, and to secure to all classes and conditions of our citizens every legal, constitutional and inherent right of nia. With the inestimable advantages of good and honest government once more surrounding us, hike a life-givmng atmnos phere, how bright the prospect for a rapid advance in all the arts of peace and in the accumulation of the wealth to which our wonderful resources of soil and climate so justly entitle us! True, vwe are just at this time in a condition of great business depression, common to every interest of the whole world, and in no way peculiar to ourselves, save, per haps, m complications arising from the transition phase through which our agricultural industry is now passing. To this great interest we should certainly give promptly that attention which its importance to the general welfare so im peratively demands. We should ap-. p~roach its con'sideration with that calm ness of judgment and freedom from pas-. sion so essential to reaching wise conclu ;io'ns. The D~epartment of Agriculture, to whose eharge its interests have been intrusted, and whose development has been the object of such earnest, faithful and suc'cessful efforts, should be sus tained and fostered. All laws upon our statute books tending to the retardation of its developmen.t, or calculated to direct its energies into unprofita'ble channels, shoul be at once repealed, and such measures- only as are absolutely needed for its proper encouragement -hould be enacted. Perfect freedom of action and judg ment is the most efficient incentive to successful exertion i all the occupations of life. This it is the duty of any govern ment to insure to any citzen, whether walking in the paths of commerce, fol lowing the professions, or gathering the wealth of nature from our teeming for ests and causing our fruit' ul fields to yield their abundan t increase. I speak as a farmer, who loves his calling with an ardor inherited from ancestors devoted solely to the tillage of the soil, and whose instincts, affnities and sympathies are, therefore, naturally and warmly en-. listed in the successful furtherance of that first, grandest and noblest of par suits. A fair tield, untrammeled oppor tunities, exact justice, freedom iromi discriminating legislation, and such en couragement as is entirely within the legitimate sphere of government, is all. the American citizen asks or. ne' (s, and constitute the very fundamental princi pes of the liberty~ for which Washmgt~on fought and conquered, and in defense of which our heroes crimsoned the count less hills and valleys of the Sunny South. May the genius of libe~rty pr1eside for~ ever over our destiny and direct all our efl .rts to the accomaplishmen:t of so glori ous a triumph in govermental seience. Amidst the 1audant causes for .oui gatulation, we certabuy piossess one in the restored credit and improved finane7:. of the State, brought to renewed life, as it were, fionm a condition of ahiuost abso lute decay and death. We shouldnt forget to scan closely the expenditures of the government, and restrict them within the limits of a wise and liberal economy. This is but simple justice to the taxpayv er. who, however cheerfully and uncom plainingly he may pa~y his <iuota of er burdens than the necessities of gov ernment imperatively demand. Uut it should also be remembered that the smallest and fewest appropriations are not always the wisest economy. Govern ment is business, and, like any other business, requires for its successful con duet the use of money; such, fur in stance, as for the adequate compensation of oicials, the proper maintenance of charitable and penal institutions, the pronipt payment of all public obliga tiols, the liberal support 01 common seliools and higher institutions of learn ing, the necessary expenses of legislation itseli, and the nuierous other incidental purposes that foot up no inconsiderable amount. We have already achieved much in the way of economy. having reduced ex pcnhitures to a point that places the g'v ermnient of this State among the cheap est, if not the very cheapest. of the States of the Union. A comparison of our expenditures with those of any other State will, I an sure, fully justify this assertion. While looking, then. with continued care to the exercise of this cardinal virtue of econony in the admin istration of our alfairs, especial attentiin should be paid to maintaining the credit of the State. now at a point of excellence never before reached in the history of her finances. If this credit is fully sus tained the opportunity will s'on be pre sented, by the early maturity of our se curities, i refunding them at a much reduced rate of interest, and thus re lieving the taxpayers, by a single trans action, of an annual burden of perhaps one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This surely will prove a measure of econoir y- that wt.uld be sensibly felt as a relief to every industry ant occupa tion, and should enlist, therefore, for its accomplishment, the active sympathies and Co-operation of all. A practical test of the feasibility of this project must soon be made inthe case of our deticiencv bonds and stocks, which mature as early as Julv. 1888, for the refunding of which timely provision, will have, of necessity, to be made. But however rigid the ideas enter tained upon this subject, however great the appaient necessity for retrenchment and reform, there is one direction in which they cannot te exercised without stilling the young life of the people and sapping the very sources if tr material and intellectual strength. 1 alh:de to oir public schools and the system of Colleges we call the University. The one is the essential complement of the ther, and neither cal accompli-sh the f all measure of its usefulness without its necessary Coadjutor in the grand work of education. In the common -chools are to be laid the broad foundations, and in the institutions of higher learning are be reared the beautiful and lofty structures of intellectual development that render a people prosperous, happy, g-eat and respected among the nations of the earth. Applhmse.] Such insti tutions are not like mushrooms-the growth of anight. Theyrequirelong years , patient sacrifice, of unceasing patriotic efort, of liberal and unstinted support, to attain their full stature and grand proportions, where their pinuacles, reach ing to the sky. will shed a beam of transeendant bligitness over the land, vivifying industry and warming into active life every dormant energy. In the matter of education we caunt it afford to contract. The true poliey s1ho 'uld b. t)to broadent, to deepen anud to wi;d.en, as the resources of the State I ir 1it. until the. last vestigte of mental dariness is swept from our borders, :md ..verv child in the State shall become the recipient ot thet benignant influences of tir'ough instruction. The aecompldish m.t of this gtreat work, with us, can oil e gradual, for none but the wtill fuli- blhind can fail to see andit feel the ire'vailing em'ibarrassmient, so widespread ad' universal. But, at least, lit step b akward shoul be taken. The ma~rchi um~ist be ever ouward, with the steadyv dj-terminationl not to be outstiptped in th rSac by ouirsister State~sof the Union, wholt are 'bending every energy to the n:ost complete and perfct developiment of their edueational systems. South Carolina, among if net. the first to estalish a syste'n of free schools, imp' erfect though it was, has the added incentive of a noble amnbitio n to main an ber- ancient proud position anion" thec most advanced and lpro gressive of the States. Nor will the fruits of such a liberal policy be either mieagr-e or de-s tiute of a certain and abiundant eomi pensationt.
