duction Of taxes and reform in the rave

deep earnestness in the subject and no little
disappointment at the necessity which e1-
listed for postponing the meeting.

THE CAeE OF GEORGIA.

Tie present controversy in Congress
upon the admission Of Georgia to repre-
sentAtion is one which ought never to
have arisen. The constitution Of Georgia
Was adopted and State Government
elected. and this government went into
operation July II. 1868. The military
commander thereupon turned over the
whole civil administration in that State to
the Governor. subsequently, the Legisla-
ture was guilty Of sonae very high-handca
proceedings. It expelled tho negro meu-
bers, and admitted to their seats the candi-
dates who had been defeated BY the enegroes.
Other proceedings took place which led to
such confusion that Congress, in December,
1869, directed the Governor to reconvene
the original Legislature, as first elected
Under this act, ths Governor (Bullock),
has since been riding on 3 very high horse.
When the Legislature met he appointed
ono Harris, not member, to preside
over the House Of Representatives., and
Harris, throughout the session, with the
assumption Of dictator, ruled, governed,
and directed the body. Harris and the

finds constant expression iii or'lina-
ry conversation, and too often IN the
public journals. There are some

mysteries, aud that ought to be held
exempt from levity and ridicule.

are some OF them. The first inyol-

Of other-solemn parts Of the great
