Our burdens are already great and our strength greatly diminished. The assump tion of such a debt will still add to our provisions be made to meet them prompt- j weakness, impair our credit, increase our ' taxes, deter immigration, prevent capital from seeking an investment among us and will embarrass us in a variety of ways for years to come. To transfer this great question to the Legislature will be considered a quasi en dorsement of its justice. The Legislature will have its own peculiar burdens to bear, and will be pressed with business beyound thot of any one that has assem bled in our day. It will be charged with framing and passing tax laws, police laws, penal laws relating to contracts, and to three to four dollars—not enough to get decent shelter and food. In some places a woman has been known to get$l3.00 and $G.50; but she was reckoned “an extra pearance of an attempt to sustain and up-J smart worker.” From all that can be ly. Since our last election for members to the Congress of the United States, a new apportionment of Representatives has been made under the Census returns of I860; and by that appointment the oam ber alotted to the State of Georgia, is re duced to seven. It being desirable that Representatives should be elected at as early a day as practicable, it will be prop er that the Conventioa shall, by resolution or otherwise, divide the State into the re quisite number of Districts aud order that learned on the subject, the “sewing ma chine.” and “ type setting” pay best. Oil the former “ smart workers” can earn from $8 to $10 per week and on the latter $15 per week is sometimes earned, the work being by the piece. How poor girls caa live on the smaller amounts quoted abovo is a matter of mere conjecture. Indeed, many sink into degradation, being unable to support life on the scanty wages al lowed for sixty-six hours work a week; , and until employers begin to cultivate a conscience, the same story of suffering, want and infamy will be told to the end of the chapter.—[^T. ¥.
