at P. NJ. in both Houses. Lieuten-
ant Governor Baker retired from the
Presidency of the Senate to assume
the duties Of Governor Hon. Will
Cumback was elected President of the
Senate and took the chair. The Sen
ate unanimously adopted a resolution
highly eulogistic Of Governor Baker.
A complimentary address, introduced
in the House by Judge Hughes, pro-
duced a long and acrimonious debate,
in the course of which Cory, of
Franklin, used abusive personalities.
A resolution to censure Cory was in
troduced, from which a lengthy dis
cussion ensued, after which a motion
prevailed to postpone action on Cory's
case for two weeks.

To the General assembly of The State
of Indidad: ~ rus S
Having been elected to the Office of
United States Senator, / desire to
express my deep sense of obligation
for this high mark of your confidence
and esteem. This election is more
precious to me as an endorsement of
my administration, extending through
nearly six years, than for the intrinsic
value of the office which it confers
to the large body of friends who
nobly sustained me through the diff
culties by which 4 was surrounded
during the dark and perilous hours of
the rebellion. | am bound by senti-
ments of affection and gratitude,
which will end only with my life, to
the officers and soldiers of Indiana,
whose devoted patriotism and heroic
valor have shed so much luster upon
the State and Nation. | return my
heartfelt thanks for their many mani
festations of confidence and regard.
My connection with them, in the or
ganization and support of the army,
will ever be the proudest period of
my life. May this people hold them
in grateful and affectionate remember
ance. Our beloved State has entered
upon new career of growth, pros
perity and honor. To your charge
her interests are committed, and you
will see to it, I am confident, that
they are carefully and wisely fostered,
and that no reproach shall be cast
upon her high character. Governor
Baker is able, patriotic and faithful;
having tried to do my duty, and with
earnest prayers for the prosperity and
happiness OF the people Of Indiana, L
hereby resign into his hands, under
the Constitution, the Office of Cover
nor.
