- Tho opening of the legislature this
morning was the occasion of unusual

from the lowest clerkship to that

At precisely 10 o’clock Mr. Eugene

powers proceeded to organize it.
The roll of members was called,
and in response to their names the
representatives-elect advanced to the
speaker’s desk and there took the
oath of office, which was adminip»
tered by Judge Wm. Gibson, of the

Conferred upon me. I trust that in

the duties of this office I shall not

which has prompted you to lay those
duties upon me.
The work of this house must neces
sarily be tedious and difficult to an
unusual degree. Besides t he ordinary
legislation always required by the
changing conditions and wants of the
state, a new constitution is in force,
and to this must be adapted the entire
statute law ot tbe state. This con
stitution is novel in some of its
features; it is complicated in many
respects. New laws must be origin
ated on untried subjects, mid old laws
must be conformed to the changes in
tbe organic law.

perfections uo one will contend, but

The following nominations were

mid have chosen us tor the special
duty of framing laws which shall- putt
into thorough and practical operation
'fevery provision of the instrument.
That it is our duty to execute this
solemn trust fully and faithfully, with
out evasion or intentional omission,
cannot admit of a question.
No more difficult task can be im
posed upon the legislature than that
of framing a body of laws under a
new and complicated constitution.
To accomplish it properly must neces
sarily require time, care and labor.
It is impossible for it to be done
hastily, carelessly or easily. It is of
the utmost' importance that the laws
enacted under tbe new constitution
should be free from the errors and
imperfections which characterize
much of our previous legislation,
hurriedly trained as it has necessarily
been, in the limited time allowed for
their consideration. It is not proba
ble that another constitution will bo
framed in Georgia for several genera
tions to come. In the absence of
revolution, it is reasonable to antich
pate that this constitution, amended
and perfected in some respects, will
remain the fundamental law of the
state for half a century. And'the
laws now to be framed by us will if
properly considered control and de
termine in many matters the material
and personal interests of the citizens
for this period of time. If this is so,
these laws should be niature in sub
stance and symihetriefll and accurate
in construction.
To insure this will not only require
time and patient labor on our gart,
but will demand also'for us tbe moral
support of tbe people at large, as well
as the active counsel and assistance
of tho best intellects of the state;
and I know that I represent you in

Mr. B. H. Miller was declared

The members then withdrew from

drawn out the members of tHe county
called came io and selected their
