leave without expressing the deep obligation I am under to each of you for that deference with which you have always bowed to my rulings; and for that respect and courtesy exhibited toward the chair at all times, even when political asperity and party rancor seemed to hold sway in the chamber. I thank you to a far greater extent than I can find words to express, and in parting can truly say that I am possessed of no feeling other than that of the kindliest nature toward each and every member and employe of this body, and shall carry with me through life the most pleasing recollections of our associations, and hope that, without regard to political proclivities, I may count each of you my personal friend. The final adjournment of a legislative body is to me always an occasion of solemnity. Despite myself the thought will flash upon my mind that these tongues that have been so animated in debate will, in a few short years, be stilled forever. Yes, Senators, we will all soon have to answer the roll call that will come from over the dark, deep, wide river to meet in that silent assembly that sits on its other farther shore, where Democrat, Republican and National occupy seats side by side, free from political asperity and party hate ; an assembly that never adjourns, the members of which answer the call of the roll but once. If my life shall be spared I hope to be here in January, 1881, to convene this Senate, and when I shall order the call of the roll may every Senator holding over be here in health to answer to his name. I thank you all for your many acts of kindness and partiality, and wish that many years of prosperity, health and happiness may be vouchsafed to each of you. The question is on the motion of the Senator from Marion, that the Senate adjourn sine die. As many as favor the motion will say "aye," those of a contrary opinion "no." It is carried. And the Senate was adjourned sine die. (Approved.) ISAAC P. GRAY, President of the Senate.. Senate Bills Nos. 35, 54, 60, 134, 213, 220, 247, 250, 283, 302, 326, 354, 440.. House Bills Nos. 340, 486.
