What need of a Legislature.

A correspondent Of the Charleston

members whose terms Of office will soon
expire; and assigns as a reason why such
elections should be held, that in the even,
the reconstruction Acts Of Congress he
declared unconstitutional, and the pres
ent State Governments declared legal, We
would ba withoat an organized Leesls

anarchy. The Mercury endorses his cor
respondents Suggestions but We infer
from the following extract from an edito

subject OF new Tax law, that the Gov

without the aid Of Legislature. To be
