Yates ofinfantry, s11, instead Of SIC per month,
a. now allowed to both of these classes. On
this question, the Paymaster- Genera! thinks
that the present rates of pay should DO allowed
until the end OF the current enlistment at
least, while General Sherman says in note
that he.does not believe that Congress wishes
to reduce the pay of priyates, and recommends
that Congress be asked to pass joint resolu-
ton extending the time for tho reduction OF
pay for one or two years longer.
The Washington correspondents say that
the Georgia Governor Bullock deliberately pro-
cured the Senate of his State to reject the flf-
teenth amendment, in order that no ralght use
that rejection as an argument for the expul-
sion of the State from the Union; and ne Is
now cantinc the result Of his own work as q
reason wbv his State should he handed over
AGAIN to the boys in blue and the negroes.
This is all understood to be a dodge on Kul-
lock,s part to be continued in as Governor by
act of Congress, knowing that he would be de-
feated if ever vote could be had. He is will
ing to degrade State by exalting himself.
General Grant is known to have a very strong
aversion to this Georgia crowd, from Bullock
up, and to have declared that as Georgia is in
the Union she cannot be put out, but that all
deficiencies in her case must be remedied with
in the Union and with her still in it. A first
veto may, with reason, be expected upon this
Georgia grab-game, if it goes through the
Congress-

lutely nothing, but quite as much as they
looked for.
In one particular, at least, the Legisla-
ture has bargained without its host The
members knew absolutely nothing of what
they were doing. They hacked and hewed,
slashed and slew. Old laws were repealed
and new ones enacted, proviso was heaped
upon proviso, resolution upon resolution;
until there is hardly a man in the State
who knows what the law is, where it be-
gins, and where it comes to an end. Already
the Homestead Law, and the Ordinance can
ceiling negro bonds, have been pronounced
unconstitutional. The bill to declare and
make valid the Charleston election is now
before the courts as being unconstitutional
from beginning to end. There is scarcely
an act passed which may not be success
fully attacked because of some flaw or IT.
regularity. How many bills and resolutions
fatty violate Section 20, Article 2, Of the
State Constitution, which declares that
every act or resolution having the force
"of law shall relate to but one subject, and
"that shall be expressed in the title 2" The
whole judicial system is in muddle, and
when the lawyers get fairly to work the
courts will have their hands full, perhaps
for years to come This is no e1aggeration;
for it, as O'Connell said, q coach and four
could be driven through an act of Parlia-
ment, whole railroad train might be driven
through the Acts of the present Legislature
of South Carolina.
After all it is comfort that the General
Assembly has adjourned, and that the pc
culiarly favored and peculiarly favored
senator's and representatives will not re-
main in Columbia to ve1 us during the
warm summer weather. OF course, they
will meet again in the fall but we feel that
by that time there may be influences at
work which will make them less violent,
less injurious and less costly, than during
the last two sessions.
