Cortina then VeUnsed • Kniz and rein*latod Jiim as Governor.— ntnt.ng tho people and fail to realize the rerenues needed by the Government du ring tho war, nml* lead to certain re pudiation afterwards. Tha plan is Impracticable. There is not specie in tho country to pay $00,<XXV- 000 intercut annually to tho holders of the bonds: The argument that tin lax » oujd he puid hy tho iutol\uit Coupoi.s is spe cious and uoiatisfactorv. The people genemlly will not hold the coupons; only the capitalists and moftey-nviking men oj tl»oday would hold them JIow are the payer* genornliy to detain them? Hy buying them from tho bolder* «*f the hoiid.N? This would ho imposing udouhU upon the people, and ineroH-.ii»g two- luld tho per uentnge of tha bond h- lders.; for the latter, knowing tlm necessities of tho tax payers, would put a specio price upon orory bond »ohl. Kxtortion it their Kutlion now, ntid they would hardly forego it when they !l*d thugre it tint -- of o community ftutire'y at their pjorcy. But it i* urged that the tav payers shoulddhotnselvi.s take the hos.t!* in such lunnlities that thoir own coup«m* \v.»:ltl suffice to pay their tnxc». J^et u# .>ee how lina would work. As tho whole unt of tho tax projiosod is sixty mil- * of dollar*, and as h large portion of territory is overrun by the enemy, we tuny assume that Uoorgia'.- qi '.a wouhl l»«> about twelve millions of ti.illnts. We see that tho Legialuturo of Georgia, in order to ratow a State tax of seven mil lion* and a half, fix** tho rate at o«m per COOt. on the taxable property ol ih- 1 peo ple of tho Stale. Tho Cpnfddei .ito lax to pay intorrftt on tho bonds would not, then, bu leas ihftiione and a half per cent. Tho planter of mod crate means, owning property to tho amount of ten thousand di.llar* (*ay nsmall (arm and tlireo or four negroes} would have to pay a lax ih »pccMsor its uquivt>Imit of §bVJ, and to provide tliu meins to do thi», lie mit«l purchaao lioml* yielding that Hiiio'uut ol into'cst. The rate propu*od being six per cent., he would hnvo to in volt <2,oOd in bond*. It is hardly nocemry for us to arraytlguro* or argument* to show that a farming capital of $10,00.) will - not ena ble him to do this—especially i ho hu« conducted himself us un honest mm and a patriot during tho war. to t trued over to the tender mercies the Sbyiock* who hold tho bonds for ! intcfust coupon* to puy his tux, uu. God help him I—they would hold th ■t h price that would tuko tho half of little property tho first year to turn him with tho kind of fun Is d inand Planters of lurgor means would bo < i t ly embarrassed, for of tho in more wot ho required, in proportion to thoir s> stance; while those of smaller me would bo devoured at a gulp tho financial sharks, ns a school of ul'L fishes ii takon !n hy u equally Mjpncioiis monster of lbs deep. This would bo tho offuOt of tho plan ii carried but. But it i* hardly rgasontd'h' to Ftipposa that the (iovi n in * nt, s »>« in • dto dlstroa* and injustice it wa« working throughout tho land, would continue it execution. What than? Must tho tiuv- orniu.cnt itsolf pay the interest hyaiiotlier issue of Treasury not#«?

Which of thp*o two system* will prevail is yor uncertain. The spaohil order for to-day was tho hill to restrict Ilia planting of cotton to one ucro. Tho hill was road, and Air. Hill, of Dougherty, moved to postpone •tho bill indefinitely—Yea* fri, 24ay* fit). Motion lost. The bill stood, on it* pas- aage, open for discussion. Air. Adams, of Clark, supported tho bill, with an ap propriate speech. Mr. Leonard spoke In Cavor of tho bill. Mr. Boll, of Randolph, opposed tho bill. Mr. Carswell, of J of fer Aon, and Mr. Hill, of Dougherty, op posed it. Air. Jones, of Burko, and Ha zard, of Fulton, supported tho hill, with logical and sensible speeches. Air, Tram moll in the chair, Mr. llardo- uisin spoke at length against the bill; op posed it on constitutional grounds.' Hi* reasoning was clear and hi* argument* forcible. At tho eloso of hi* speech the House adjourned till :J p. m. At tho afternoon session, tho lion. J. .1. 11 all, of Butts, obtained tho floor, and urged in a forcible manner constitutional objections to tho bill. Hi? speech on this occasion deserve* mure than an ordinary pa-dug remark.
