General Chalmers, late of this State,
now of Memphis, writes a letter to
Reverdy Johnson, in which, while he
admits the unconstitutionality of the
Military, Government bill, faYors its
acceptance by the South. The terms
offered by the President himself, he
argues, were unconstitutional, yet the
South accepted of this proposition.
The General, therefore, sees no sacri-
fee of principle in accepting from
Congress measure which is no more
Objectionable on the ground of its
being unconstitutional than were the
terms of reconstruction prescribed by
the Presidunt himself <...e
He states that he never believed the
action of the President in his effort to
reconstruct the Union was right; but
he supported him, and supported his
plan,5 because it was more liberal than
the Congressional plan; but that since
the President cannot carry out his
plan, since the Supreme Court cannot
afford us adequate protection and may
soon be changed so as to be hostile to
us. and since confiscatton and general
disfranchisement Of fall.but the negro,
and the white man who lay hid in the
sWamps or fed. to the enemy's camp

we act now, he is for closing the con CO..

Organization OF ,he State Legislature.
The organization of the legislature was
completed yesterday according to the pro-
gramme adopted by the Republican caueuses
Tuesday night. Indeed Republican caucus
at Augusta this winter is strikingy like
the parliamentary fiction known as a COM
mittee Of the whole. The thirty-one mem
bers of the Senate are unanimously Repubii-
can, and of the one hundred and fifty-one
Representatives only thirteen would be ex-
Guided from Republican caucus. The de-
cisions of the caucuses were therefore final
The President of the Senate, Hon. N. A.
Burpee, of Rockland, has had The experience
OF three sessions in the Senate, and has the
ability to discharge well the duties of his po-
sition. In point oflegislative experience, Mr..
Burpee had the advantage of lis competitor
before the caucus. Another reason for taking
the President from some other county than
Penobscot arose from the certainty that Hon.
Lewis Barker, of Stetson, would be
nominated and elected Speaker OF the House.
Mr.. Barker has been two years In the Senate
and two in the House. and in both bod
les has acquitted himself with much credit,
The Speaker is so called, it has been observed,
because he is the only man in the House who
is not expected to speak; but we apprehend
that if anything very interesting turns up, Mr..
Barker will have something to say.
The Secretary OF the Senate, Mr.. Cleaves,
and Clerk OF the House, Mr.. Drew, have both
been conversant heretofore with the duties of
their several offices, and are practically quail
fled for the ready resumption OF them. The
House has done well in choosing for assistant
messengers tive disabled soldiers. ls4l
