TUESDAY MORNING DEC. 3. 1861.
THE REDUCTION BIEL.
The bill reducing tint aalarh s of pub
lic officers has been vetoed by Gover
nor Brown. Both houses have since
passed it over the veto.
[communicated.)
F,d. Advocate —l see that you have
taken the correct view of 'degislalion
fur the benefit of the people” about to
be inaugurated l y our over patriotic
law makers. It will indeed be a sad
day f>r us, when onr Governor’s and
Legislator’s take upon themselves either
to enlarge or restrict trade ; to build tip
or destroy monopolies ; to increase sup
ply or diminish demand ; fur history
teaches ns that whenever or wherever
attempted, i' has failed of its pnrpos •,
and o|»erated to weaken the confidence
of the people in the government.
I understand dieobject of this strange.
I might say peculiar Georgia LegLdalion
is to destroy monopolies. If this be so
tin y should nol forgot, that in all com
mercial speculations as the purchaser
does not buy for bis own consumption
he proportions his purchases to what lie
expects to sell. Since then the quanti
ty he can sell depends on the price he
sells at he will buy less according ns
the price rises and more according uh
it falls ; this I may say is the univ trsal
law of trade as evidenced in every com
mercial con munity, and to vary it by
law is certain death to trade. In un
settled times objects of the commonest
use may exceed the means of the con
sumer, i <•., shoes may be cheap yet *.»u
of th reach of many, because leather
does ind fall '<> a level with the means
of the people. Ought the law making
power therefore to oblige me to go bare
foot, who am able to pay the prices
charged by the tanner, because my
neighbor happens to be poorer th in 1
am, by throwing around the manufac
turer such paines and penalties as will
close bis vats and stop his currying
knife. N<t so. Government was in
tituled to secure the citizen in the en
joyment of I oth political and personal
rights And whatever he m.iy acquire
by dint of superior intelligente indus
try and perseverance in the prosecution
of a legitimate busin ss or calling is
pecnlittriiy his, and any interferaucc on
the part of g vernment is destructive ol
these rights lessens Ins allcetion and
confidence in hi.-; rulers and p'-epares
him tor any change in government how
ever despi tic with a hope that under
it, personal and private rights inay+e
respected. The value ot an article is
what it wili tiring in the market. If
the. price of this article is fixed by law
below the charges of its production it
at once is discontinued, for no one is
willing to labor fur a loss, and he who
lived before by (he production ot this
article must of necessity perish.
’I h • establ slut.ent of fixed rates is a
suppression of a portion of production
and consumption, in other words a d -
iniinition of the jn’osperity of the com
munity which consists in production and
consumption. Let a scarcity of corn
L-ome, Ihe price rises in consequence,
yet the laborer or mechanic may by re
doubling his exertions or by increasing
his wages proeijre l)is accustomed sup
ply at tlje njarfecC price. In the mean
time the legislature fixes corn at h ill
its natural or market price, what fol*
lows? I who had supplied myself and
wojild have bqtjght no more had it re
mained at its market value out ot su
p< rtluonscantion, and to take advantage
of its cheapness, get the start of the la
borer and add to my own stoic what
the natural cotir-e of trade!
Itape goije to tire lab >rer. I have by op
eration oflaw.ii.d capacity to buy, taken )
:j (JmibL- {.h ire and leave the mechanic '
destitute. He then has to work for me |
at my prices, for labor, not corn, or jt-r- i
ish at his anvil. The sale is no longer j
regulated by Avimts and nivalis, but by i
superior activity ot trad mb. Under
this rule you Ibro- every m in to become i
a trader, who has means 11 this be ’
i
srue, fixed prices gives us a scarcity in
stead of plenty. I bold ibis to be true 1

nugatory and st rves only to alarm pre

I could but deem it un necessary to

“Ion,” the special Washington tors
respondent of the Baltimore Sian, wri
ting under date of the 22d inst., says;
The approaching sessicn of the Con
gress will no doubt be protracted in’o
the slimmer months m>: withstanding
the desire of members to spend their
time and wag-.-s at liotne and the cred -
it they might cl dm of a month's ser
vice already at the extra session. The
business of the session will be as im
portant as it will be novel. I will
open a new era in the history of thu
country, and pvrh.tjis determine its fate'
fur some time to come. Th'! extent of
the c; erations of the war will demand
much attention, and a number of inves
tig’ations into its incidents will be
necessary. Several committees ap
pointed at the I ite session will make
their reports, and others will be ap
pointed. I'orcign complications may
arise, and tequire attention. The char
acter ami objects of the war nt ty un
dergo an essential ch 11 ge, for ali -.tdy
there exists a large pa. ty that favor*
the prosecution ot the war lor the pur
pose of emancijtating slaves.
It is just four months since the bat-.
| tie of Bull Run, and llr-ught it is not
■ tu be signalized by an -advance, yet eve
Iry one seems to be convinced, by t.'io
sjdendi I review of the grand uriny of
the Potomac that the preparations re
quisite for a movement are complete.—
The rumor that the Confederate army
on the Potom ic wa.i disorganized ia
quickly followed by another that it - is
re-organ’zed. The two armies face'
each other and are ahi ost in sight.—
Which will move forward first is the
question, for neither will retreat.
As to winter quarters, the |-\dvrsd
troops on the other side of the Potom
ac have already much improved their
accorninodalions. Their tents are com
fortable by log and clay basements,
ami many of I em have .some eort of
a firc-[ lace. If, say some of lite offi.-crH
the iroops be inform edthat they me to
remain where they are, thev will soon
make their qn liters tolerable, with thu
means they 'lt tve tit hand, in logs,
brush wood, clay, empty tiarrchs, &c.
Complaints are made in some quar
ters of the project ot Senator Simmons
for furnishing the enemy with salt, su
gar, coflt.-e, &c., in exchange for cotton.
_it i< objected that the G overntm'nt
policy is to deprive lie C.mleder ites
of sm.h necessaries. There is no dan.
ger, however, at present, that much
cointne.ee will be opened with them.—
All the cotton that we obtain must be
taken by force, if, indeed, it can be
fore id in atty large quantity.
