Cornell were performed in the assembly chamber of the new capitol at Albany on New Year's day. We take the fol- lowing facts from the Press «nd Knick erbocker: The program for the ceremony stipu- lated that both outgoing and the incom- governor should meet in the executive chamber, old capitol, at about 11:80 a. m., with the respective staffs in full uniform, Accordingly, at that hour, all were promptly present. Meanwhile a constant stream of people-ladies and gentlemen-was passing toward the new capitol to. obtain seats while they were obtainable. All haviug assembled at the executive chamber, a line was formed, with the two governors at its head, followed by Secratary of State Carr and his deputy, Col. Wood, and two staff officers, which marched to the new capitol, and entered the assembly cham- ber at about twelve o'clock. The cham- ber was packed with citizens, many ladies occupying chairs on the floor and others in the galleries, This magnifi- cent chamber never presented a more strikingly beautiful appearance. The changes made since last year were the subject of praise on all hands, The desks of the speaker and clerk, which have been raised, especially elicited many re- marks of approval and admiration. While the audience was engaged in admiring the many points of beauty in this elegant chamber, the eastern doors were thrown open, and the gubernato- rial procession entered marching down the middle aisle. Gov. Robinson leaned upon the arm of Gov. Cornell ; Gen. Carr, secretary of state, and Col. Wood, his deputy, followed, and after them came the two staffs in full uniform. Reaching the area, in front of the clerk's desk, Gov. Robinson filed off to the right and Gov. Cornell to the left, followed by their fespective staffs, and met face to face on the platform occupied by the speaker's desk. Secretary of State Carr stepped for- ward, and, taking position in front of Gov. Cornell,\ in full view of the vast audience, administered the oath of office. The intallation of governor of this great state was comprised in this simple act- simple on its face, but momentous in its import. Here it could have ended, but it did not. The out-going governor, Hon. Lucius Robinson, then stepped for- ward, and bowing gracefully to the in- coming governor, addresssed him as fol- lows : GovERNOR CORNELL : Under the con- stitution and laws you have been chosen governor of this state for the term of three years.

'I now welcome you to your high office, and sincerely hope that the reward of which I have spoken may be yours, and that your administration may be such as to increase your own honor and confer enduring benefit upon the people of the whole state. - [ Applause.] Gov. Cornell bowed his acknowledg- ments to the ex-governor, and responded as follows : Governor Robinson-For twenty years you have occupied an influential posi- tion in the councils of the state. Chosen repeatedly to the legislature, and for several terms elected comptrol- ler, you served with such stead'ast abil- ity as to win promotion to the executive office by art unprecedented vote. As chief magistrate you have vigorously and fearless exercised your official per- ogatives andigiven your administeration high rank with those which have pre- ceded it. Permit melto congratulate you upon the honorable record you have made for yourself in the annals of the state, and to express my cordial wish for your con- tinued health and prosperity. My friends, you have assembled to witness the transfer ofthe executive authority of the state, from an official who has contpleted his term of service, to a successor chosen under the oppera- tion of the cognstitution and the laws. Our great btate, already in the second century of her constitutional govern- ment, has in the past been fortunate in the character and abilty of her execu- tives. In the present instance, a veter- an in the service of the state surrenders his authority to one called from private life with limited experience in public affairs. It has given me pecular pleasure to avail myself of the present occassion to bear testimony to the conspicuous fidel- ity with which my honored predecessor has discharged his official responsibility For a long time it has seemed to me that we are quick to find fault with pub- lic men, but careless in expressing our appreciation of faithful service. Per- haps more careful discrimination in this regard would contribute quite as much to elevate our public service as som other remedies which have been sug- gested for present evile. It should be remembered that great prizes are offered to men of ability in other pursuits, which go far beyond anything realized in official life. The learned professions, the management of corporations, and other great business enterprises, afford opportunities for com- pensation and distinction which lessen the attractions of the public service and and induce many of our best men to neglect affairs of government. My friends, looking back over the past year, we have great cause for gratitude to the Divine Being for manyillessings bestowed upon our people. Renewed FrosPeritfl' general good health and pub- ic order have prevailed in a marked de- gree. Plenteous harvests and generous markets have rewarded agriculture. Employment and liberal wages have a- waited industrious hinds. Restored val- ues and improved credits have encour- aged the business classes, Dark clouds which so long cast their shadows over the business affairs of the country have broken away, and the new year opens in in the bright sunlight of prosperity. In entering upon the duties that await me, grateful acknowledgment is due the to my keeping is accepted with a pro- THE RECEPTION, The line was then reformed, and Taken all-in-all, the inauguration was The new governor bore himself gal- toric city, which has so long heen the[legislators and state officers, as well as other distinguished citizens, were alsoer.
