Stephens said that tho South always required a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court, although three-fourths of all the business done in it came Irorn the free States. He said they required this in order (Aai the decisions upon Constitutional questions might be in our favor. And they always were in favor of the slave interest ( during the generation preceding the war. They culminated in the Dred Scott decision. That was in the old time. The Constitu tion provides that Congress shall make regulations lor the Supreme Court. The movement to do so greatly disturbs the very men who have always made the Supreme Court a political machine. From our Special Correspondent.] State Constitutional Convention Ati.asta, January 28, 1868. The Convention to-day was wholly occu pied in the consideration of the relief question. It had been moved yesterday to substitute the report of the Minority Committee on Relief, which merely proposed to petition Congress for an equalization of the United States Bankrupt Law, and a cheapening of the proceedings in Bankruptcy, for the Majority Report, which in effect repudiated all debts made previous to June Ist, 1865. This proposition brought up tho discussion of the whole question. Mr. Akermax concluded his remarks— having the floor at the adjournment yester day—and was followed by Mr. McCat, of Sumter, in an excellent speech in favor of relief. He did not advocate ihe wholesale repudiation proposed by the Majority Re port, but professed himself favorable to such an extension of time to debtors as would enable them to compromise with creditors, or by industry and economy free themselves from their burdens. After the conclusion of his remarks, tho majority report was laid on the table, and Mr. Conley moved that the majority report be recommitted,and that Mr. McCay and Mr. Stanford be added (o the Committee, After some disoussion, Mr. Conley's motion was carried. The Committoe will probably be ready to report to-morrow morning, when the subject will be resumed. The manner in which Mr. McCay's re marks weie received, indicates that the Convention are determined to adopt some measure of relief, and the readiness with which the majority report was sent back to bo reconsidered by the Committee proves that the measure reported was con sidered too sweeping, and that the Conven tion were in'favor of some more moderate measure. There is a great anxiety to get rid of this perplexing question, and to resume work upon the Constitution. It is not improbable that the discussion may take up a day or two more, but after it is closed it is to be hoped the Convention may make more speed in its appropriate work.
