A Matter for the South.

! The New York Times, speak
ing Of the South and the Freed.
mems Bureau and the duty of the
South, says, ''there is no doubt
that the general operations of the
Freedmen's Bureau have been en-
inently favorable to the restora-
ton of order and labor in the
Southern States. The existence
of the Bureau was limited by act
OF Congress to one year after the
termination of the war, SO that
unless further special legislation is
taken by the coming Congress, it
will cease to exist next spring
In the meantime the Legislatures
of all the Southern States which
will be in session this winter-and
they will be in session except those
of Florida and Texas-should
promptly take up the question of
the freedmen's rights and relations,
and establish such laws and regu-
lations as are demanded by justice
and humanity. 1t would be much
better that the whole m after should
be in the hands of the Southern
people and the respective States !; !
Ind if they evince a purpose to
:reat the question as the circum-
stances demand, Congress will
cave it entirely to their jurisdic-
ion, by taking no measures for
the existence of the
Freedmen's Bureau" y

tible falling off and an easing down of prices
There seems to be feeling of distrust as to
what will be the action of the Legislature in
regard to the winding up of the bank. The
/ bill now before the House of Representatives
for that purpose makes provision for the re-
demption of the notes OF the bank where par
ties owe that institution, thus leaving other
holders without any chance of realizing on
their notes. This is regarded as amounting
almost to reputation. if it is not intend ed to be
that very thing. This has operated to de-

Legislation.

mark. The temper of our times
| in the opinion Of the radicals, call
for bold innovations and startlin
experiments upon the domain O
statute law; and in order to suppl,
the demand for this rash legisla
ton, we have developed a race oil
offce.holders whose principal oh
ject seems to be to please theil
friends. Our halls of Legislation
have been filed with a class of
men who lower the standard of
dignity which was formerly ex
pected in those who were called
upon to enact laws. Men of good
common sense-merchants, me
chanics, and farmers, who have
learned in the practical experience
of life what is likely to be benef-
cial to society-have been thrust
aside for briefess lawyers, seedy
literati, and a whole list Of id ct
omne genus, who have more smart
ness and volubility than good
judgment or discretion. So far
as our experience gees, we have
known greater number who could
not make a speech under any cir
cumstances, who were ten times
more worthy of being entrusted
to enact laws than those who
could talk all day. Our members
of the Legislature are proofs on
this point. The men at Nashville
who make the most noise are pre-
cisely those who are the least re-
liable. They contrive to keep the
country in agitation; but so far as
the accomplishment of any sub
stantial benz fit is concerned, they
amount to nothing. 1t is sad
thing to talk of the degeneracy of
the public men of a nation whose
history has not yet completed a
centennial cycle, yet the facts stare
us in the face.
Bills and resolutions succeed
each other upon the legislative
with remarkable celebrity.
There is nothing honest now-a-
