Speech of Hon. W. w Miller, Speaker
of the House on the Re.assembling
of the Legislature.
Gentlemen ofhe House Of Delegates
It affords me pleasure to welcome you
again to your duties
| congratulate you upon the favorable
circumstances under which you rc-asscm.
bic.
The work assigned you Of adapting The
State legislation to the new constitution
vas pushed forward with such vigor al
your last session, that its dual completion
need occasion neither difficulty nor delay
Most Of the laws which have already
been put iu operation, have received the
hearty sanction of the people
Others, with such amendments as could
only be suggested By their practical opera
ten, can soon DC made to satisfy the mos
ezac,ing demands.
The legislation yet demanded under the
new constitution, was at an advanced stage
at your adjournment and nov needs only
to be taken up aud malured in order that
your work may be at an end,
Your recent mingIing with the people
and tho results which attended the practi.
cal operation Of your legislation, will fnciIi
tate your labors by advising you at once
what is desired aud Of the meansb by which
il can be attained.
1t seems my duty'to remind you that
the people are now taking a deeper inter
est III the public service than at any past
period Of our history,
Our constituents expect that on the part
Of their representatives there shall be
neither want Of fidelity nor careleSSness Of
public interests
A constant attention to business, the
prompt passage Of needed legislation aud
a speedy adjournment will fully satisfy
their reasonable expectations
1t is not expected that the Legislature
will encourage or sanction any wastcful-
ness of public time or treasure
More than ever it is incumbent upon
US to enforce the most rigid PncOnomy III
the government, aud to exact the strictesl
accountability from those intrustcd Will
the public funds.
Aud while it is no part Of our duty tC
sanction scsnialous accusations which are
backed by no sense of duty, aud whose per.
secution, with the responsibility therefor
may be sought to be thrown upon us, with
no credtablc motives; We should at the
same time be ready to see thatIbo moneys
collected and appropriated for the maintcn'
anco Of the government, are honestly cx'
pended for which they are set apart.
trust that some of the causes of diVis
ion aud dissensiou which marked your last
session will be found to have disappeared
beneath the sOftoning hand of time; anc
with better understanding Of each other
and the work to which we are called We
may now devote our best energies to the
service Of the people.
Reminding you that one Of your frs
acts viii probably be to revoke the suspen
sion Of the rules existing at the time 0
your adjournment, | will dctain you NJ
further
The House is now ready for business
