Mr.. SHAW rose and said:
Mr.. SEcRETARY-The hour has arrived
when our la bors as Senators at this board are
about to close. Whether our action here has
been characterized by wisdom is not for me
to say. l only hope it may be viewed dis
, creetly and in spirit of fairness and justice
by the people of the State. In extending the
parting hand, it gives ME pleasure to say that
the associations and friendships have formed
here, have been of the most pleasant charac.
ter, aud will | trust be as lasting as they have
been agreeable. | beg to tender to the oti-
GERS of the Senate, one and ALL and to every
Senator at this board, my grateful acknowl-
edgements for the uniform courtesy extended
to me during the session now about to close.
In conclusion allow me to present the follow
ing resolve
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the Senate
be rendered to the Hon. John +. Butler, for
the very able and impartial manner in which
he has discharged the duties of presiding otii-
Ger of the Senate during the present session.
Mr.. EMERY said
Mr.. SEcRETARY-I beg the indulgence OF
the Senate, that may add a word. The ses-
sion has been in the main, calm and dispas-
sionate. There have been no acrimonious
discussions, and no i'll feeling can have been
engendered. Senators have evidently voted
from clear convictions, and while l have
often been in the minority, can very readi-
ly defer to the judgment of the majority. We
have done the State no harm, | trust, but
possibly some good. The transaction of bus
mess has been much facilitated by the Presi-
dents alertness and knowledge of parliament
) tary law. For that he is entitled to the COM
pliment of this resolution. bid Senator'S and
: officers, a cordial good bye.
Mr.. ARNOLD said
Mr.. SEcRETARY-I heartily concur in the
sentiments expressed in support of this reso-
luton My relations with this, and the form
er Senate have been, on my part, of the most
pleasing and friendly character. Our county,
owing to its peculiar situation, requires per-
haps more legislation in small matters than
other counties. So much so that as the acts
and resolves relating to Aroost0ok county
have had their several readings, l have often
observed your kindly glances directed
towards me. For all acts of kindness to me
personally l thank you, and when Aroostook
- no futu hal ha cd at
board by her two and perhaps three Senators,
l feel safe in pledging you her active cooper
alton, in the fostering and endowmen. of our
public institutions, and all those judcious
measures which tend to develop the resources
of our State. And now, Mr.. Secretary, and
to each officer and member of this Senate,
wish to express my desire for your prosperity
and happiness, and in bidding you good bye
can do so with hearty God bless you.
Mr.. CRANDON said:
MIR. SEcRETARY-I cannot leave the SEN
ate at this closing hour of its session without
expressing the gratitude so heartily feel, to
the President for the just, impartial and hand
some manner in which he has presided over
this body, and desire to express my thanks
to Senators, with all of whom have passed
the session so pleasantly, for the uniform and
unexceptional kindness and courtesy, which
have received at their hands. While the
commands OF business ana the attractlons OF
home, urge me, as they do all of you, away, it
is with feeling of sadness, that l leave the
associations which have here formed in the
course of the two winters past. They will be
in the future am sure among the happiest of
my recollections. l should be pleased to re-
ceive you one and all at my home. bid you
all farewell.
Mr.. MARTIN said:
Mr.. SEcRETARY-1 desire to express my
cordial assent to the resolution of the Senator
from Penobscot. / also wish to say word
to fellow Senators before we finally 60 forth
from this chamber. Oar associations here
have been pleasant and profitable to ourselves
and hope they have not been hurtful to the
State. The acquaintance formed here have
served to give us all better idea of our whole
State and its people. Oxford joins hands
with Aroostook and Washington, ir forming
commonwealth of mutual respect and affec-
ton. l feel deeply at this final parting with
friends, whom ! may never meet again. l
wish you all every happiness, and every good.
l return to the President, and to you, Mr..
Secretary, and to all the Senate officers, my
grateful thanks for your kindness and good
