Gentlemea Of The Senate and House cf Dele
gates
The communication now made to you in
obedience 10 the requirements Of the Con.
stitution, reviewing the condition OF the
State, and making recommendations Of
such measures as are deemed expedient
for the Legislature to consider, contains
nothing which marks the past year as ex-
ceptional. = A.a
The peace Of the State has been main.
tanned I'VE have been blest with bountiiul
harvests, and all our industries are in a
satisfactory condition. 81
The vast amount of mineral wealth in
our State, hitherto undeveloped, has invit-
ed capital from abroad seeking profit
able investment, aud resulted in pro-
ecting several lines OF railroad,
some OF which are, now in pro.
gress OF construction. and others confident
tIy expected to be constructed in the near
future. The roads nov constructing pass
through interior counties, rich in minerals
and timber, rand when completed will add
largely 10 our material wealth and pros.
perity.
The heads OF the several departments Of
the State Government, and boards Of your
several State institutions, have laid before
you their biennial reports, containing full
details oitheir operations during the past

future.
AS these reports are full upon all the
heads 10 which they relate, l can not hope
to add anything new or OF special interest
to them, but presenta brief summary Of
matters Of Importance contained in them.
