The Hon. WILLIAM A. WHEELER, President pro
tenn Of the Senate. and one Of the most substan-
tsl intelligent and clear-hesded men in that body,
closed the session with the following speech:
SENATORS: should DO injustice 10 my own feelings
were 10 forbesr 10 acknowledge the uniform courtesy
and kndress which have personally, snd So It's tenn
porafy presiding officer, received from the late snd
lie officers II legislative life has its snnoysnces and
disquets if 1t Occasionally sire inferior passions,
il has slfo the bright relief which the elevation OF the
better feelings Of the heart never fals TO engsnder.
For notwithstanding dfsretces Of opinion upon po-
ltica and other questions unavoidable after the
momensry storm of passion hiss subsidized the sunshine
Of manhood 10 sure TO CLEAN forth, dlspelng the
clouds and making Us men, in the highest sense Of
the term
In this portion of ife's great drama, We have now
played our part. The curtain Is about TO fall, and
actors and scs TO be left to the uds ment Of time and
our constituencies. | believe We shall not be deemed
arrogant ID saying that in our legislative action We
have been incied by honest desrs 10 advance the
interests Of the great State OF which the Rep
resentAtves For itz nc be charities and other lnsl-
tutious while We have not done all inst our hearts
dictated we have made such provisions the unfOr
tunate condition OF our finances would Justify. Appro
priations have been made 10 our public works which,
II is hoped will insure their esry completion, thereby
increasing their revenues, ana rendering them less
burdepsOue 70 the people.
In short we have endeavored TO contribute orr
measure 70 the onward march and upward progress
Of this our proud Commonwealth, and to Justify her
claim among all her sisters Of the great Coniederacy
TO the appellstjon Of the Empire State.
Like those who have occupied these seats before
us we are about TO vscate them probably never more
10 meet in collective capacity but to De separated
and tOssed by the changing gales upon the Storm
beaten ocean Of life. The din and hustle which hiss
perysded this chamber during s occupancy by us, is
about 10 lie superseded by solemn sleuce-6t pre-.
monitor of that stiffness which awaits The termination
Of life ffu fever. II may in truth be soon said OF
Us ss body:
" All ,c.it.red, al .undered by mountain snd wave,
And one III the silent embrace Of the grave
AMI now rendering to each member and officer of
this BODY ny sincere wish that the lights and shadows
of life may fall mildly upon his path and that when
earths mission ia eIded, he may enter into that rest
which crowns a virtuOus and gellspent life, pro.
nounce this Senate adjourned without Gay.
