MMcW© ffeorgia Argus W. F. SMITH, - EDITOR _■ , , TfaDRSDAY MOKKIKO OCT 6 1881. SPEAKER BACON’S ADDRESS ON THE ADJOURNMENT. Speaker Bacon addressed the house as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Represen* tatives: Our official duties have ended . an(l our record is made up. Our labors have been exceedingly arduous and wea- No house of representatives within my experience has had so great <an amount of yfork imposed upon it. Besides the numerous elections to prop erly deal with which would require the time of an ordinary session, the amount ,o. legislative matter acted upon has bean immense Over twelve hundred hills have been considered in this house The large majority of these have not originated with us but with the peopl e at homo. They have considered these measures important to the interests, and in the exercise of their guaranteed con stitutional right to appeal to the gov ernment they have asked us to enact them as laws; and we, as the law-mak ing powers would have been false to our luty and recreant to our trust if we had refused to examine into their requests and to supply their proper needs. This has been n hardworking, industrious legislature. During all the summer heat jn the midst of great personal discomfort and to many at much inconvenience, the members in the halls, and-in their com mittee rooms, have labored unceasingly night and day with this mountain of leg sladon ; and if my judgment is of any value, I wish to say here that no body of men of equal size and restricted to the samo methods of procedure could have properly disposed ot the work in loss time. No idling has been hero; little or no unnecessary discussion has been hero; but there hag been a great deal of hard, steadily work. In the difficulty of reconciling conflicting opinions some important measures have failed, and lome measures supported by decided majorities have been lost because of the Constitutional provision which requires eighty-eight affirmative votes in this house and twouty- three affirmative votes in the son-to ‘for the passage of a bill. But in spito of all failures, that which has been accomplished will contribute much to fcho progress and development of the state. To me personally this is the close of a long legislative service, I cannot with sever an official relation which lias xisted for so long a tjme that n lias UGcome as it were a part of my ev ry-daybfe. For .me there cluster in liis bell tbo of twelve ses sions. Since thpiy began what a change has been wrought jn the condition of the state. Then all was (Joubt, distrust and uncertainty; but iep by step at each succeeding session'those measures were adopted which have brought order, con fidence and a superb public credit, I know that it is common thing to depre cfate the office and the work of a state legislator; but it is a depreciation which flows from a mistaken and an inconsider ate judgment, for lie deals with measures which most nearly concern the dearest interest of the person and property of the citizen. And in this—which is probably jhe last word that I shall over utter as a inember of the general assembly of this slate—l desire to say that while I claim no peculiar credit to myself in the ac complishment of this great work, I shall ever cherish and prize the reccollection that it was my fortune to assist those who lifted the state from the depths cf her adversity and trial to her present proud position of prominence among her sister stales. And during tlfeso past few days, when tha realization lias pressed home upon mo that my services here was drawing to a final close, my memory has been busy in recalling the many scenes through which here have passed, and die many hundreds >.' those with whom I have come in and gone out in the dis charge of public duty. Most of them have return, ,o tbo honored stations of private life, somo having been transferr ed to more prominent if not more use ful positions in pul lie life, while others of them have crossed the waters of the r iver, Bat gentlemen, I trespass upon the timoof this final hour. With it will practically cense ouv connections with fellow-legislators. The calls of our bus bies* interests, raid t-hcry earnings for the home greetings that await us to begone; but believe me that amidst the business and pleasures of home there will come the quiet ho -s in w. ioh our thoughts will reel rr 10 ; icse scenes, and memo ry will again people this hall with the forms of those whom we have been so actively associated. Then will we know v hat wo now to rap arfectly realize, the strength and t ndernass of the attach ments which irvo here been formed. The noise of die contention will then have been hushed and the divisions and rivalries will have ceased and in the heart and memory will survive the friendships which have her* had birth and development. Gentleman, I hesitate to pronounce the final word, for that word will finally •ever the official relation that hinds me to you, -IPoov -confidenee, yonr wuppruf and your forbeance have made this rela tion a very pleasant one to me. During all the years there will remain the re collection of your unvarying kindness, and while the official tie must be sever ed, I trust that there may never be bro ken the golden links of friendship which bind us together. Gentlemen I thank you most sincerely for your generous con fidence and for your unnumbered acts of official personal favor and kindness, and wishing to each of you all I bid you farewell. I now declare the house ad journed without a day.
