1866.] OF THE SENATE. 7
The period seems to render it appropriate, and in making
any allusion to national and State topics I could hardly have
said less.
Before taking my seat you will allow me, Senators, to" ex-
press the great pleasure I have in again meeting you, face to
face, within these venerable walls. The pleasant remem-
brances of agreeable intercourse, one year ago, but deepen the
anticipations of coming enjoyment. I can express no higher
hope than that our future interviews may be marked by the
same gentlemanly bearing and friendly sentiment which dis-
tinguished the session of eighteen hundred and sixty-five.
Here I am reminded that since the close of the last sessions
death has made vacant one place in our circle. The Senator
from Kent, who was accustomed to occupy yonder seat, has
been called hence to a loftier theatre of action. We recall
his bland and courteous manner, his quiet, unobtrusive dis-
position, the cautious, conscientious and discreet part he took
in legislation. It will be for the Senate to take special notice
of his demise, and for other tongues than mine to rehearse
his virtues.
Soliciting your indulgent support in the discharge of my
official duties, and invoking the blessing of Heaven upon our
deliberations, I now declare the Senate open for the transac-
tion of business.
On motion of Mr. Turner,
Two thousand copies of the President's address were order-
ed to be printed, three hundred of which in the German lan-
guage.
Mr. Ohr submitted the following Message:
BY THE SENATE,
January 10th, 1866.
Gentlemen of the House of Delegates:
A quorum of the Senate has assembled in pursuance of the
proclamation of his Excellency the Governor, and is now
ready to proceed to business. We- propose with the concur-
rence of your Honorable Body, the appointment of a joint
Committee of three Members of the House, and two on the
part of the Senate, to wait on his Excellency the Governor,
and inform him that the Legislature is prepared to receive
any communication he may be pleased to make. We have
appointed on the part of the Senate Messrs. Ohr of Alle-
gany and Vickers of Kent.
By order,
C. HARWOOD,
Secretary.
Which was read, assented to and sent to the House of Dele-
gates.
