ce-sary business, from o truding out
sidersand scheming lobbyists.
The exiTesencies and defects here al
laded to. were in some insrances, tin
crimiiiai alterations ;.ud interpolations
ol interested or bribed experts, artful
ly and secretly employed—while in
odiers, they aiose from hasty am-
loose legislation, or neglect of the
necessary watchfulness and care usu
ady observed in Parliamentary enact
meiits; such, lor example, as might
occur in comparing the enrolled co
pies with the original Bills and Res
olutions—(an important part of the
required duties of the Committees oi
Enrollment—) and which in all prob
ability, is sometimes recklessly shuf
fled upon the shoulders of the super
fluous clerks—wlio, in turn, and as a
lull discharge^) of the confidence re
posed in them, barely follow the mum
bling readers, without seeing mere
than tuv thirds of what they pretend,
minutely and critically, to examine in
all their particulars of punctuation,
orthography and phraseology; thus
showing how opportunities to commit
frauds and serious injuries can be
readily supplied through failure oi
shirking of uuty. The committees of
Enrollment embrace responsibilities
that involve giave and highly impor
taut trusts, which ought never to be del-
'gated. Their Very nature forbids such
licence; aud the nature of their du
ties require no clerk!
Having alluded to committees, we
may as well delivei in this place as
elsewhere, a few of the objections we
have to their ‘free and easy’ connection
with the routine of Legislation—one,
i not the principal, being an indis
criminate, causeless redundancy iu num
ber, confusion ot labors, aud wasteful
ness ol time and money— pethora that
die i onstitutional power imy alone
check and reguia e by lonually defili
ng their character, number, duties,
'ght to clerk s, und pay uj same. It i.-*
ai.iuitied that in sev. ral respects, and
non. comprise about one-ha!/ of the
whole ! Now, both of these truths,
are no less conducive to highly inter
esting results, than their opportune oc
currence has been singularly sugges
tive in sustaining the propriety ot a
Convention. In the first place, an
appreciable reduction ot the Legislature
ts clearly indicated and demanded.
Will or can it be doubted that it one-
heilj of a power is capable of driving
machinery to the same extent and ad
vantage which its double or even one-
third less quantity, had barely effected
—-should or would the slight st obj^c
tion be made to a change from the su
perfluous and positively damaging ex
cess, to smaller proportions and large
ly increased profits ? Would it be
prudent in any undertaking we ask, to
keep a surplus ol operatives, paying
all alike, to do what one-half or two-
thirds could easily attend to, at te.
| hours laboring time each day l Or to
’ bring the plain gist of our argument
hrectly up to its issue—Should Geor
gia keep on her Legislative loll at
i^ast one-half more members, to kill
time in ektiug out full sessions, aud
voting extra days, thut the excresscent
—parasitical dead-heads may draw
their per diem salaries and mileages
and go home, really having done noth
mg? We think no establishment to
be found, would advise such a course
“I thank thee Jew, for teaching me
that word”—the deductions realize a
Happy interlude and the con lusions
which we hope further to eliminate
from them we dare say, will lead to
•.till stronger p ims. Iilusf-uti.ms
serve alike for reasons ami ex unples;
imi us one eminently pertim ut, we
will instance the labor and responsi-
■ilities that characterized the Joint
S amling Judiciary Committee ot the
hut session ot the General Assembly.
Who is there to question our belief that
nil ont-ha'f of the entire business ot
legislation was manipulated by the
ability, industry zeal and close appli
cation of this one body—this fraction
al mot elf—that consisted ot about
lifteen or twenty members ail told?
It is tiue. and worthy also is the fact,
chat other committees discharged liigu
crust and onerous duties—yet, compai-
itively speaking, not to the same
extent—while proportionally to the
number ot Committees, and especially
to the members who constituted the
Legislature—it was emphatically the
moving power— the driving engine and
pack horse to both Senate and House
•it IJepresentatives! It got io be the
fashion of the House, to refer almost
every measure to the legal scrutiny of
the Judiciary Committee; os if every
bush’ was charged with some fatul
enemy to the “Code,” or contained
something favorable to the treacherous
Constitution, tiiat might take root and
life, and gain a foothold where nothing
before was supposed to lurk; ail which
is within the bounds of reasonable
suspicion—for the constantly t.nkeriug
and re-tinkering of the Code, has near
ly made it like fcjir John Cutter’s immor
tal ‘stockings,’ patched and darned un
til no part ot the original material
could be distinguished ! The Consti
tution is equally susceptible—but tam
pering with its rotten ‘ribs’ is an over
dangerous expedient. Be this as it
may, the numerous reports which the
committee made to the two Houses,
evidenced its valuable properties iu
lacilituting and economising both time
aud labor,when and where men of abil-
tiy and industry were eutrusted with
the examination and direction ot af
fairs.
The Committee of Finance is an
other first-class, important aud indis-
pensible body—but its ‘role of power'
should be enlarged by reteirmg to it
much that is now scattered among
other committees such as the Auditin.
Committee, Public School and Educa
tion Committee, and thut of Banks if
any such an Institution claims a Direc
tor from the State—together with
all appropiiatious of whatever kind or
degree, in which the Slate may hold ot
exercise pecuniary interests aiid au
thority.—Great confusion would thus
oc saved.

why should double those numbers be
tolerated now for no other perceivable
reason than cus om or the high hand

as numerous and useless as performers
at a ‘Boston Peace Jamboree, and mi
leages not only disproportion^ and
extortiouous, but‘audited and voted’ to
almost every casual ‘hanger on’ and
insignificant ‘attache’ of the Legisla
tures? These excresseuces and re
dundant superfluities are apparently,
‘small naatters—little tilings’—but
let it be remembered that an atom has a
shadow, and they have bulk and weight
injurious in their frequency, which
multiplies according to geometrical
progression. The like congeners exist
in almost every’ Department. There is
excess or sub illusion of offices, but no
decrease iu salaries or officials. We
have County courts with jurisdiction
al powers scarcely inferior to superior
limitations, without diminishing the
circuits, or curtailing the salaries of
the latter.—Our Supreme court is
overburthened by’ appeals upon the
most frivolous questions caused by a
looseness in professional practice, or
looseness of legislation in an imperfect
organization of the court,either through
incompetent lawmakers or the undue
influence of lawyers in opening wide
their privilege to carry any and ail cast s
by bills of Exceptions, Error, &c., be
fore that Tribunal—even we might
charge, upon no grounds at all, or by
flying their Briefs in the face of cases
ivhose points have been over and often
adjudicated and published to the world
from the same Bench !
There is a remedy against all these
impolitic and haphazardobs imperfec
tions,if notshametu! abuses. Let us J mine
a Constitution and ha tea Code which shall
not only bud aud blossom, and be
allowed to mellow its own fruit, but
test its wholsomeness before its branch

tneir opinions—patient to luvestigare
and ot sound, moral toue ami impartial

pensman, but well informed, prompt
an i quick to discriminate; whose pay
should be regulated by the amount o'
laoor performed—and should also be
inserted in the appropriation Bill, unit
voted upon in committee ot the whole,
as a separate and independent item;
and not upon the recommendation ot
either the Committee ot Finance or
the Committee on Elections. It might
not be amiss for the salaries of other clerks
to be similarly controlled.

Committee and that ot commerce,

tobe‘wif»ed out’ as supererogatious
or untranslatable jargon !
Since Governor Smith has been in
office, the Lunatic Asylum and its
kindred Hospitals, as well as the Pen
itentiary, have been eo materially re
constructed or entirely chauged, that
any jtcrsonal inspection by fining com

nothing less than ridiculous hum bug

foot, is, w’lien it is Iree and the
lull weight rests upon it not less than
four inches broad. The average shoe
sole is nut more than three inches
bread, so that the difference between
the foot and the sole is an inch, that
is, there is uu inch of tout with no
sole to lest on. What generally hap
pens is this, that this inch is divided
between the stretch of the leather and
the squeeze of the foot, so that at eve
ry step the foot is not allowed to
spread out as wide as it would bv
halt an inch. Tiiis succession of
squeezes as we step is quite sufficient
to reduce ttie circulation enough to
to make the feet cold. Narrow soles
are responsible for more cold feet
than any other cause. It your sole
.when spread out is tor inches wide,
the sole of your shoe should be four
inches likewise.
We should amuse our evening hours
of life in cultivating the tender plunts,
and bringing them to perfection, before
they are transplanted to a happier
clime.
