Ths IIolisej having gotten away with
the liquor bill two or three lanes and
having finished up al bnsin,ss in the way
of ACCOUNTS, at, l. ,45, sent the Clerk O.
the Senate with the infurma,ion tla. tue
Hoise was ready to adjourn on the min
hte. The Senate vas not. There had
been a good many bills Of inihri,nporl
snce which the Senator'S did not care to
Bass-7liye stock acts, property transfers
and the, like-rand WHICH bad to be dis
posed II ~ some way, and the Senators
we're kept right busy. The bill Tor
finding the State debt also constned
much tiine. u After taking recess Of
thirty minutes, at 10 O'Clock, the House
again met ant consumed considerable
time over unimpoftaHt matters.
Presently IA resolution Of thanks, to
the Speaker, was presented and Mr.. Hall
supplemented il with some well chosen
and eloquent remarks. He fist alluded

officer of the House, had ever been kind,

ability and clear discripnatiop he had
presided to theo satisfactonIef all. Mr..
Hall Then went on to speak Of the high
sense Of estimation III which the Speaker
was held by all the iilembers of the
House Of Representatives,, and said that
on the present OCCASION there Was not
even the Least shadow of doubt ,In his
mind, that bis words were re-etlioed iii
the healts of his colleagues. .-s.Ne may

Mr. Cochran next took the floor. On
this occasion of parting, he Said, he ex-
perienced deep emotion. The ties that
had bound together the members OF the
Legislature of 1S7S-79, were about to be
cut in twain by the RELENTLESS blade Of
necessity, and he for Que would ever look
back and recall the pleasant associations
OF the past ifPee Imonths with feelings of
satiyfac, ION. I 1t was impossible. in this
world OF vicissitudes and rapid changes
for any one to have his desires all the
time, and this was one OF the trials. Their
CONNECTIONS as members Of The Legisla-
ture, while not at all uifriendly, had at
times been slightly clouded by differences
bHt there was not one, in this ball, with
which he could not clasp hands in the
most firm friendship. He concluded his
remarks with a warm tribute TO Mr..
Speaker Chandler. +! tf.-I..-u. If,-
Mr.. Dean followed in a feeling and
conciliatory strain, in which he gave ex-
preston to sentiments that were none
the less earnest and frankly spoken than
those of The two gehlemeir who had
preceded him! He felt like parting. with
loved friends for the last time. There
were many here who would never per-
haps meet in this capacity again, and he
considered himself one of them. Per-
haps a. goodly humber would shake hands
with each other for the last time. He
also. ,cpnplimented the Speaker IN terms
unmistakable in their sincerity and ear
nestness. @~7-t =" +'--t ',fp- I't

Of Kent, who in low and winning tones,
told of the warm friendship that had
