there is great deal of time lost because
members do not know how to forward busi-
ness with promptitude and method After
few days of slow and confused progress
many grow inpatient. Some one saws the
only way to make things move is to fix near
day for adjournment, and joint resolution
is introduced for that purpose. Il it is in
troduced and adopted prematureIy, like a
cry of fire in crowded assembly, the incvi-
table effect is confusion, delay and injury
Ordinarily, before the set time draws near
some members become aware that unless the
day set can be deferred, it will be utterly
impossible to do what ought to be done and
be JUS, to the uublic and to individual inter
ests. y resolution to set the day farther is
OF course introduced, and debate springs
up. If the resolution prevails there is some
gam, if il fails there is an additional loss
Bye-and-bye the attempt Is renewed, per-
hsps to succeed, perhaps to fail second
time, and 50 the session struggles on, gaspiug
for breath till it dies IN reality, leaving half
of the proper business undone altorether, or
SO badly done that the whole work has to be
gone over again another year, perhaps with
a result not much better.
A JOINT resolution to adjourn ought never
TO be passed till the more important subjects
before the Legislature-thc which from
their natural relations mnst lake consider
able t:me-are disposed of. The adoption
of Joint resolution by the Legislature to
adjourn on Thursday, will surely prove to
have teen mistake An annual session of
only four weeks. from the hour Of assemb-
ling to the hour OF adjournment, Is unex-
nmlled for long time past. Ii Is too short
for useful legislation in these times.

REBEL DEBTS N GEoRGIA.-Pr,sidcnt
johnson evidently keeps an eye open to tie
progress Of affairs IN the rebel States. Those
who have hoped that the rebel debts will be
some time paid will not find much encour-
ae,H,nt in the following despatch, from
Millcjscyille, Ga, Nov. l.
The following highly important dispatch from
the President Of the United States has been
received here by Governor johnson
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, b. c. I
October IS 1895.
To James Johnson, Professional Gorernor,
.Hiiiefgerilie, Ga.
Your despatch has been received. The peo-
pie Of Georgia should not hesitate one single
moment in regulating every single dollar Of
debt created for the purpose Of aiding the rebel
lion against the government Of the United
States 1t will not DO to levy and collect taxes
from State and people that are loyal andiin tine
Union, 10 pay a debt that was created TO aid in
taking them out and subyerting the Consutu-
ton Of the United States.
l do not believe the great mas Of the people
of the State Of Georgia, when left uninfuenced,
will ever submit 10 the payment Of debt which
was the main cause Of bringing on their past
and present suffering, the result Of the rebel
lion.
Those who invest their capital in the creation
of this debt must meet their fate, and take It As
one Of the inevitable results Of tbs rebellion,
though it may seem hard 10 them.
Ii should al once be made known at home ami
abroad that no debt contracted for the purpose
Of dissolying the Union can, or ever will, be
paid by taxes levied On the people for such pur-
pose.

The State Of Arkansas appears to have got
fairly through the intermediate sta1e which
lies between a State in a condition of rebel
lion with all Its loyal relations broken up and
DESTROYED, and State which has by the act
of Its people repudiated all previous disloyal
acts, has adopted a new free State cOnstitu-
tion by an overpowering vote, has elected
loyal State officers. who alone are recognized
by the people as possessed Of authority-in
short, has put itself in position to be fully
recognized by the President, and by Congress
as now occupying its normal and regular rela
tions to the National Government.
The entire rebel authority in every shape
was repudiated; there is no conflict between
civil and military power. The new State
copstitution prohibits slavery and repuuiates
the confedcnte debts, and the Legislature
adopted the proposed Amendment of the
United States Constitution, abolishing slave
