HIS FAREWELL SPEECH,

The following is full text of Leuten-
ant Governor testers closing speech in
the senate yesterday:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
The hour has arrived when the pre-
sent session of the Twenty fourth 'legisla-
ture must come to a close. Its acts will
be engrafted into and become a part of
the organic law of the State, and by these
acts it will be judged.
Assembled at q time when "a peculiar
state of unrest and discomfort pervaded
the people, caused largely by a wide dis
satisfaction over national issues, by the
low price, the lowest for 40 years, of our
chief product, cotton, by The disastrous
effects on the livestock interests of the
drought in the West. by an empty treas
ury, and a large deficiency, our path of
duty did not indeed lay in pleasant places.
However, this legislature has placed upon
our statutes al laws, and has considered
in committees 1859 bills, and while it
would be unreasonable to suppose that
every law necessary to the welfare of
this great State has been enacted during
this session, and that you have passed
some laws which it might have been the
better part of wisdom to have left I'M
passed, still a retrospective view of your
work as a whole can not fail to show that
you have labored faithfully. Probably the
most laborious, and certainly not the
least service that has been rendered the
State is in the many bills that have been
considered and defeated in committees,
and on the floor of the senate and house.
To my mind it is a serious error to sup
pose, as do some, that it is the duty of
every legislature to re-enact an entirely
new civil and criminal code at each SEES
sion. Existing laws that are satisfactory
and whose constitutionality has been pass
ed upon by the higher courts should not be
changed without good and sufficient cause

HAWKING WARRANTS ONCE
MORE.

Attorney General Crane yesterday de-
cided that both the general appropriation
bill and the deficiency bill went into i'm
mediate effect. This will certainly prove
disastrous to the treasury. There is now
not quite 100000 in the treasury to the
credit of the general revenue fund, and
this small amount will not liquidate the
deficiency bill let alone helping out any
on the appropriation bill. In view of this
fact the treasury will be bursted again in
less than 10 days. and the old business
of hawking State warrants will begin
once more.
