not likely to lessen IN a hurry, when
we consider the wide province of de-
bate which they have opened for them
selves. We limited to that body more
than once the propriety of forbearing
any atsmpt, in the reformation of
the State Constitution, to go beyond
the simple necessity imposed by the
acquisitions of the conque~ing power.
They had one certain thing to do,
and, having resolved to obey the de-
cree which required this to be done,
they should have forborne everything
besides, if for no other reason than
simply to show to the world the ma
ture and kind of necessity under
which they had mot. There would
have been time enough, at the close
of the present decade, to decide upon
other reforms, especially as. the pro-
priety of these reforms will necessa-
rily depend upon the necessity of a
new census, and the better deter.
mined condition of the people of the
State for taxation. The external pres
sure upon the State has been rather
too eagerly seized upon by the reform
ers, whose zeal has beentoo great for
the exercise of much magnanimity.
But, regarding the problem of the
next five years of the future as likely
to be soluble only in the confounding
of large class of Legislators, we are
content with anything that may be
done. We shall be quite satisfied
with the future commentary of pre-
sent legislators on present action,
especially as we conceive it possible
that they may all be found then on
the anxious behches of politicS-social
repentance We are not so sure that,
even now, some Of our legislation may

The Savannah ReppbLican ssys for some
eight or ten months past, an Organization
hss been in existence in Southwest Geor-
gis, styled HUnion 1ssgue," and have
been heretofore compelled to hold their
meetings secretly in order TO evRde the
military in that section. Some six weeks
ago one of the members turned traitor,
and gave notice of R-eontemplsted meet
ing and the place where it was to convene,
when a body of come forty or fifty cavalry
and battalion of infantry, started for the
place OF rendezvous TO capture the assem-
blsge. The League, however, having the
approaches watched, got the alarm Of the
advent Of the cavalry coming down upon
them, awaited with double baIreled guns,
and when near enough poured 3 vOlley
into tnem which emptied nearly every
saddle. The result was the infantry 4,
which was slow in coming up, fund it
