The work of this house must neces sarily be tedious and difficult to an unusual degree.

Culpepper, of Meriwether. 1 The ballot resulted as fellows; B. 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as well as the active counsel and assistance of tho best intellects of the state; and I know that I represent you in withdrawn, Mr. B. H. Miller was declared elected, and took the oath of office. The election for messenger of the house was next had. The following were tbe nominations: 4 J. 1^. Smith, of Coffee; L. B.

Adopted. Mr. MqiyhPrter.wf Greene offered a resolution that the senate be in formed 'of the organization df the House. Adopted. A message from the Senate an nouncing that it was organized was here received.' Mr. Mynatt, of Fulton, offered a resolution that a committee of three bo appointed from tho House to co operate with a coremittee from the Senate to inform the Governor that the General Assembly was organized and ready for business. Adopted. The committee on the part .of the House were Messrs. Mynat, Gray and Burch. * Mr. (fox offered n resolution that the members of the House proceed to drawTor seats. Adopted. The members then withdrew from the hall. The names of tho counties were put into a hat, and as they were drawn out the members of tHe county called came io and selected their seats. After the members had drawn their seats Bader, of Camden, and Rogers, of McIntosh, the only two negroes in the House, appeared and were sworn in* A message was received from Gov ernor Colquitt, stating that the fol lowing seats were contested: Lanier contests the seat of W. C. Sheffield, of Earfy; W. J. Janes contests the seat of E. P. Miller* of liberty; J. S. Atkinson contests the seat of Buticfr, of Camden. The Speaker announced that these contests would be referred as soon as the proper oommittee was appointed. The House then adjourned to meet at 10 o’clock Thursday morning.
