Spain will never end this war with victory to-lerself. “This is also the opinion of Consul! General Fitzhugh Lee, and he has here- before express.d it to Secretary Olney. He has told the Secretary of State that the insurrectionists, Whether soon or late, were bound to succeed.

They were received with manifesiations o{ applause. The oaths of office were ad- ministered by Chief Justice Faircloth. Mr. Chas. H. Mebane, the new Super- intendent cf Public Insvruction, was the first to take the oath. He was vis— : bly. very much embarrassed, and was 80 nervous that his hand shook when he appenaed his name to the oaths in the book kept for that purpose. The ~oabs were then administered to the other officers, each siguing his name in the book kept for that purpose, in the followi ig order : Hal. W. Ayer, State Auditor. Cyrus Thompson, Secretary of dtate. Wm. H. Worth, State Treasurer. Zeb. V. Walser, Attorney-General. Chas Reynolds, Lieutenant Gover- or. ie. : Daniel L. Russell, Governor. : GOV. RUSSELL SPEAKS. When Lieutenant-Governor Dough- ton introduced the new Governor, he was received with great applause. [is opening sentence, hurled from hi® mouth with a spirit that looked malev— olent, “There is retribution in history,” was received with a thunder of applause, jel by the negroes who swarmed in th® right gallery. His tace lit up with the culminating malice of twenty years, as he received: this endorsement from those whom he termed “savages,” and he turned his eyes up to the black gallery and give them some more-ot the spirit. of slander gt his State that was so conspicuous in his campaign. His denunciation of electicn frauds, which composed the next section of his preface cf venom ‘was alco joytully received in the gallery ‘Those who have studied the. electioa returns know that Judge Russell was ‘himself elected by fraud, and importa- tion and bribery, secured through a law of which he is the author.

But these attorneys were not happy long, for pretty soon the new Governor jumped on the lease ‘of the North Car- olina Railroad with both feet, and gave unanswerable reasons why it shouid be speedily annulled. . Warming up to his subject, he dropped his Manuseript as the perspiration rolled dowa tis face, and said: “ “yet me stop here and speak on the a impulse of the moment, but not without due deliberation, and a deep sense of its import and with all respect to you. If. this foreign corporation is not compelled | to pay for this property a sum commen- surate with their ueeds and its value to them, the fault will be with this Geueral Assembly.” There was some applause at tals ex- temporan¢ous declaration that if the lease is not revoked “the fault wiil be with this General Assembly,” Lut the aforesaid Republican Southern Railway attorneys, and other attorneys and poli. ticians who are down here on free passes, didn’t join in the applause. They were cold, pale, silent constrain- ed. They sat looking as if they had partakpn of something that did not egree with them until Governor Rus- sell got back to bis partisanship about ‘the solid South is broken,” and other such Republican stock-in—trade talk, and then these tellows joined the “sav- ages” and made the hall ring with their applause of partisanship when they were silent over their own Gover— nor’s vigorous attack upon the lease. Plenty of'cheers for narrow partisan- ship ; not a word for protecting the in- terests of the State ! The declaration in favor of fostering the University met with warm ap plause, led by C. A. Cook, of War- ren, and the close of the address, which had much more of the offensive spirit cheered, and when he finished the cheering was general aad continued. ered about the new Governor, who held an impromptu reception in the hall. SENATE. The Senate met at 10:30 pursuact to adjournment, Lieut-Gov. Doughton presiding. Prayer was offered by Rev. McNeill, Senator from Wilkes. The following bills and resolutions were then introduced and reterred to proper committees : By MeCaskey, a bill to establish a reformatory tor young crimina's.
