to inquire into the New Orleans riots and the murder

Congress will undoubtedly pass the bill providing
that every Congress shall commence its sessions on
the first Monday in December. The object is openly
declared by tho Radicals to be: to have, in effect, a
permanent Congress; there is to be no recess, but au
adjournment over. In such case, according to this
programme, there would be no recess during which
the President could make appointments, as it requires
the confirmation of the Senate, according to the pres
ent law. Removals can be made during a session
until the successor of un incumbent shall be con
firmed.

of the Speaker at the opening of the session,
'‘that but little legislation was needed,” is
fully verified Dy the little petty bills which
have engaged tho attention of the two houses.
The stay law, the county court, State aid to
railroads, and the exemption hills, are the
only questions of any magnitude which have
engaged the time and attention of this Gene
ral Assembly. The constitutional amend
ment . was promptly, without argument, ex
citement or feeling, disposed of as all had a
right to /frxpect The great question of
State aid to railroads, which in years past
occupied days and almost weeks in its dis
cussion, elicited hut little debate in either
House, and was even passed in the Senate
without a call for the yeas and nays. The
stay law and county court bill have been
more elaborately discussed by the Senate,
and the former by ihe Honse, than any other
questions.
The repudiation of the State's indebted
ness by the late Convention has so demoral
ized public sentiment that the stay law is
looked upon as au absolute necessity. Last
session, the devastations of the war were
pleaded as the great argument for the passage
of the bill of that session ; uow the failure
of the crops is offered as the extenuating cir
cumstance tor putting off pay day anulher
twelve months. Next yeaT some other plea
will be the watchword for reliei, and thus
year after year will this law be re-enacted,
till at last out and out repudiation, in sub
stance and in fact, will be the rtsult. Such
is Ute tendency of the times ; such is the le
gitimate result of this species of legislation.
The homestead bill, passed by the Senate, is
in a great measure, repudiation. It affects
the remedies of creditors, puts out of the
way of levy and sale a larger amount of pro
perty than, was exempted prior lo tho
obligation entered into by the-debtor. Now
Ido not deny that there Isa great deal of Lost.

debt and suffering in the country, that tiro
enforcement at the present time of the
laws for collection of debts, and that some
measure of relief is absolutely needed ; but
while making laws for the benefit of one
class, are we not in danger of infringing
upon the rights of another class. - Compro
mise, conciliation, aud a due regard te the
interests of each by the other, strikes me as
inoat advisable, more equitable, and conse
quently more just. Tbe Northern merchants
have, as a general thing, been more consid-
erete and generous than our owu creditor
class. If the creditors amoug our own peo
ple, of our own ki<h - and kin, would take
them as examples, they might he benefitted.
While the Northern creditor has gladly of
fered and accepted compromise at from leu
to fifty cents on the dollar, our owu people
have exacted the last dollar, principal and
interest, and would take no abatement, but
the bond must be paid according to tbe
tenor; and if slay laws, year alter year,
coutiune to he found on our statute book,
and, ultimately, repudiation cf private con

but themselves.
Much time of the Legislature has beeu
spent in passing bills of relief; relieving Mrs.
for marrying another man while she had
a living husband, or Mr. for marrying a
second wife while the first was yet alive. One
ease cites in the preamble that a certain gen
tleman’s wife ran off with the Yankees and
her enraged husband married another. An
other’s wife proved unfaithful to the marital
rights of her soldier husband while he was
in the service, and he married another, aud
now he seeks relief. A large number of bills
having just such a foundation have been
passed by tbe House. Also, bills to make
men of minors; feme soles of women, as if
tbe war bad not made lone women enough;
bills to change county lines, Ac. Indeed, so
many are the subject of legislation, that the
immense number of 454 bills Lave been in
troduced into tbe House alone.
The indications are unmistakable that the
session will be prolonged beyond forty days.
