The power is conferred therein to build dams across tho Chattahoocbs* river, ten in number, with fofk* and gates, and to collect from, every bout parsing said locks, a stated amount of toil for each article of freight and for wrory pasffiHiger. Ifpou a cursory vfcw of tho matter, we are in clined to think that the grant of power contained tu the bill is unoonatiuitionnl. It teems to us to bo an mterierope* with tho power which tho Bute* have redud W the General Government, to-wit; tho power to regulate oomrnorce. In the *ae, wc believe, of Gibbons vs Fulton, the Supreme Court of the United B'ales ifocidod that a Mate had no right to interfere wiifTthe free navigation of navigable waters within its limit*. It would be well, them, for our J<ogislators L> examine thi* question.

There is such a contrariety of opinion—there are ao many tuombors who are more in tores led in oth er projects than in the questiou of reduction— there arc so many who fear the roaponsibility which attaches to their position, so many who love tho honor of representing their eonstitasntu, not to say anything of the limited time allowed for tbo Legislative term, that tho probability is that Hurtling will bo done. Tho people are too much interested in this question to excuse their members, for defeating every project proposed.- We endorse the following from Air. Holt of Mus cogee, who said— Mr. President, every one must be convinced tbnt whatever time is taken up now wilh the dis cussion of the subject will ho wasted. Tho man ilesUition which ha* been made upon this floor bus satisfied me beyond the possibility of a doubt that, while We all concur in tho propriety of the reduction of tho mom bore of (ho Legislature, wo shall not agree upon any plan to accomplish this object. TJxen why make the effort?
