COMPLIMENTARY TO THE GOVERNOR.
Mr. CAUTHORN submitted the following, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That we heard with great pleasure the able and exhaustive message delivered in the presence of the two houses of this General Assembly, on Thursday, by His Excellency, Conrad Baker; and whilst there may not be perfect and entire unanimity upon all the recommendations therein contained, yet it commends itself to the judgment of this House as an able and reliable State paper
RESOLVED, That the allusion madeby His Excellency to Norman Eddy, late Secretary of State for Indiana, does credit to his past reputation as a Christian statesman, and meets with a hearty response and approval from this House; and so beautifully and feelingly is the allusion made that we are at a loss whether to admire more the sentiments expressed, or the emotional manner in which they found expression.
RESOLVED, That having experienced, during his administration, the disadvantages resulting from the parsimonious salary meted out to him, we appreciate more fully the unselfish spirit with which he endeavors to shield his successors in office, immediate and remote, from like impositions.
