RARE LEGISLATION.

The Radical Convention Of Georgia
incorporated a "repudiation" clause in,
the State Constitution and Congress
"expunged" it. The Relief measure of
the Georgia Legislature as effectually
iinpairs "thc obligation of contracts" as
the clause cxpungcd from the Constitu-
ton, and in addition to this, it is in di-
rect conflict with the new Constitution
of the State in authorizing Juries to
grade DEGREES or judgments obtained
since 1861, which the Constitution de-
clares "shall be held inviolate by the
Courts of the State"
The House on the 18th passed the
"Relicf," Senate bill. One Of the mem.
bcrs, O'Neal, who was in favor O
straight out fraud upon creditors, puts
the following estimate upon the bill al
passed He said:
ale contcnded that tho Senate bIl
was rcpugnant to the Constitution of the
United States, as it proposed to reduce
the amount Of old claims sued on, which
will be reputation prordnto. That il
fact it would result in no relief even if il
was constitutional, as each party is
made competent witness in his owr
case, and entitled to show tho loss o.
property by each, whereby the losses
and equities will be cqualized and no re
lief given. 1t is really nothing but {
dodge by those who are at heart oppos
ed to relief, ana harvest for lawyers
His substitute was not reputation. II
only denied remedy in our courts"

The corn will show for itself: If it continues to
rain it has done good Judges have estimated il to

speech in Ohio, gives qualified en-
dorsemcnt to the programme of BLAIR
and pronounces his mode of upsetting
the negro governments of the South, "a

REvERDY JOHNSON

Our Minister to England, Maryland
or and Southern man, uttered senti-
mcnts at his reception by the Cutters
Company at Sheffield, England, which,
few years ago, would have aligned him
with Greeley and John Brown, but
which, now that slavery is extinct, is
silently received in the South. |: is
well. 1t is useless to argue how far At
rican Slavery was at once blessing and
acurse; but we deny now and the future
will deny that the blood and treasure OF
the late civil war was "well spent" in
getting rid Of it. That is false. 1t was
a horrible-needlcs sacrifice to accom-
plish that which calm reason and fra
ternal feeling might have reached with
out any sacrifice at all.
Mr.. johnson said
sThe troubles to which | have refer
red, great as they were, and heart-rend-
ing as they have been, have been at
tended by one compensation. We had
an institution, not Indigenous to US, but
brought to us from q common ancestor
human slavery. Hear, hear.l -Four
millions of people were in that condition;
how to abolish it without dangers even
worse than those which followed from its
existence was problem. Our domestic
strife has solved that problem. Slavery,
thank God, is now extinct loud cheers
and no footprints are to be found on the
soil of the United States but those of a
freeman. [ChccrS. Dreadful! as the
havoc has been; prevailing as the
slaughter was, literally miriag almost
every battlefield with blood in future
times it will be said that all was well
spent in getting rid Of the blot-not of
our creation, but Of that blot which tarn-
isbcd the fair fame of the United States
and gave the lie to the Declaration of
Independence, by which We claimed our
right to freedom and liberty. Cheers.

munications from the Governor in refer
ence to the Riot at Camilla in Mitchell
county, an event greatly to be deplored
by every one who consults the welfare
of the South. The Governor and Maj
Howard put the cause Of the difficulty
upon the ground that the citizens of Ca

white radicals hold public meeting in
the town and that their persistence in
the right to do SO brought on the trouble

The Committee Of the Senate on the
Riot rcported-and the report was
adopted--"that they find that the evil
dence referred to by His Excellcncy is
not sustained by the evidence produced
before the committee, and which is here
with returned. They have come to the
conclusion that the whole difficulty occur
red and originated from determination
of the parties referred to in his Exccllen-
cy's message, to-wit: Pierce, Murphy,
and Putncy, to enter the town of Camil-
la at the head ofan armed company of
freedmen, which right was disputed by
the Sheriff of the county. The persist
encc of the one and the determination
of the other caused the disturbance
They find that the civil authorities have
shown themselves able to execute the
law, and there is no necessity for any
military interference"
We have also the sworn statement of
the best citizens of Mitchell County
headed by the Sheriff, that handbllls had
been issued calling upon the negroes to
como to the meeting armed, that they
did come armed and were met and told
by the Sheriff as peace officer that If
they would leave their arms they would
not be molostcd in their meeting
These arc doubtless the facts, and we
trust that the lesson will not be lost up
on our people. If we must have politi
cal gatherings, we hope our people will
in future meet as peaceful and law-abid-
ing citizens.
The following embraces all Of inter
est in the proceedings of the House:
The Committee appointed to invcsti
gate the recent riot in Mitchell county,
asked to report. They report that the
evidence does not sustain the Cover
nor's message. Mr.. Bethune handed in

Mr.. Hall, of Glynn, moved to lay the
minority report of Mr.. Bethunc on the
