Duaii Wilson : At the close of liic lii.it u?wl>
of the Session, sufficient prngrcsj has scarcely
yet been m.tiio in t'.ie bu&ities.*, to determine iU
prohnblu length or tl?>i character of tin?
lntion likely to bo ? ?!. 'J'lio members arc
generally here al a Faerifiec ?>f th'-it ,.?tu::iary
interest*, and aiv anxious todi.-patch t!i? work
of Legislation m promptly as is compatible
with the public weal. A resolution waa adopt
cd ny the senate on Saturday last to adjourn
on next Tuesday wcclc, the lS'.h nisi., nnd it is
not probable thai the Scs.-ioiul will exlen b?yond
that time.
Resolutions have boon introduced inlo both
Houses, limiting the subjects of legislation, to
tlie hiattcrs embraced in the (lovernor's message,
ar.d though they wci c rejectc 1, it was
fioiii a conviction of the fertility of nil si:oh
resolutions, rather than from any indisposition
to carry out fully their spirit. The subjects
embraced in lh<; M.ssage. a:c in themselves
comprehensive and important enough to fur nish
matter of legislation for a protract cl
Session, and which would require something
more than a Solomau's wIkiIoui to adjust satisfactorily
to the country.
The iiioil important an-1 j rotuisc-t.l place in
Message is occupied by tlie reefiiitnei.dations
on the sul ject of tl:o District Courts, and thu
nf. of tl*. < > fVIrr.itiiil 1 u? (in il
nil jects thtee vt elaborate bills pivpmvd by
Uie distinguished author of tlie Coda n !"|>. cl
at the lust Session, have be?-n introduced into
the ffonaic by Mr. Tliom>o;i, mil together
villi ilie suggestions of llio Message lmvc been
before the Judiciary Committee. Similar bills
were introduced into the llousc by Mr. Pair.
In the IIou3t?( no action lias yet been taken
by tbe Committee, but in the Senate, tlw C'>tnmittec
have reported a short and comprehensive
tncns'irc, denning the right3 of persons of
color, which er-Sraces substantiiilly tlie provisions
of the Georgia Code on the subject?
abolishes all civil discriminations between the
two races, conurs upon the blacks all the
rights of person and property, and fully empowers
them to sue and bo sued, ami to tesiifv
in all cases and in all th-3 Courts. ThU Dill
or rotne very similar measure will likely pnr-3
\otli Iluusca. The Committees have not yet
reported upon (lie Disti ict Court Bill, but there
ia no doubt but^thnt very material alterations'
will be made in the existing lay, pcrhnp3 i:i
accordance with the Governors'^ recommends
lions?conferring upon theso inferior courts,
jurisdiction in all cases of misdemeanors and
felonies not capita), ami perhaps limiting the
terms of the court, to quarterly sessions. A
very radical reduction in the number 01 there
Courts, we have hoard recommended ou the
pcore of economy, but we doubt whether any
such change will be made at the present Setsi
on.
The recommendations of the message on the
? r>? --<
vi u x cuiwiuiury were reierreu 10 a
special Committee of both Houses, who have
not yet reported, but who will no doubt adopt
nnd act upon thn suggestions of tlie Governor.
The necessity of such no institution is clearly
set forth in the Message, and is generally conceded.
LJpon the all-importaul subject of extending
relief io the Debtors of the Country hns
jib jet received no Legislative notion. The following
resolutions introduced into the House
hy Mr. Gnrlington were made the,special order
for Saturday lust, pnd after receiving an
niiimated discussion were continued over until
to-day. "?
Resolved, That tlic condition of the people of
tliis Slate, resulting from their indebtedness us
affected by tho issues of tlio war, demands remedial
legislation in the following particular*,
viz:
1st. A revision and amendment of the laws
in relation to insolvent debtors, so as to prevent
voluntary bankruptcy, and to reenre the
discharge of debtors from all debt.*, upon a full
nnd complete surrender of their property and
effects.
2d. Abolition of imprisonment for debt*
cither on mesne or final process, and an en largement
of exemptions of property from levy
and sale.
3d. The postponement of remedial process
jor mo coiiecuou 01 deuis, bo lar as not to conflict
with tho Constitution of this State, nor of
the United States.
4th. That these resolutions bs referred to a
Special Committee, to be composed of ? members,
with instructions to report suclj legislation
as may be necessary to carry tlio same
into efFect.
The oliject of these resolutions is lo elicit ct
once tbe sense of tho House on the mode and
measure of relief, lipid lo instruct tbe C'ommiti**

by Mr. Towncs, of Greenville, which sopjiih

setsions of the Courts in tho spring of each

The i-fl'eet of (lie bill woulJ bo to lay an emburgo
upon tho issue of wi its until tho spring

of imparlances would prevent tho obtaining
of judgment until the October Term. This |
measure would a fiord all tho relief to debtors, i
which can now be extended, and would prob- !
ubly be sufficiently aeeeplab'e to I'm' elms, as j
to all.iy fie general discontent. Such at least 1
is the opinion of several who come from <li?- '
triets where there h.w been the most feeling on '

The Congress of the United Stales, on llio
I 2*1 day of July, ISC'i, pj3*t*d an Act, entitled
j "An Act donating public lauds to the several
States and Territories which tnuy provide colleges
for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic
nits." By this Act, 30,0(>0 rteres of
land was apportioned to each Stete, for each
Senator and Representative, by tho apportionment
under tho census of 1800. Where no
public lands are situated in An}* State, then the
quota of iiueh States thai! be paid in luud scrip,
which fhall bfl sold, and tho proceeds applied
to the uses and purposes nreiicribe.l in ?!>?
Act.
All the expenses connected with the securing
and gelling of the Bcrip nro to be |>ni<l by the
Stale, bo that the gross proceeds of the sale
eliull be appropriated as aforesaid ; the proceeds
to bo invested iu stocks yielding not le.<s
than five per cent, iniercst; the interest alone
to bo used in maintaining one college, "where
the leading object shall be, without excluding
other scientific studies, and including military
tactics, to tcacli such branches of learning as
are rclatod to agriculture and the mechanic arte,
in euch manner as the States may respectively
r..wv..?i, ... umgi iu |muiiiuiu Miu nuorni ana
practical education of tho industrial clashes in
the several pursuits and professions in lifo."
Other condition!) aro annexed, one of which
requires a college to bo in complete operation
within five years from the passage of the Act;
otherwise, tho grant to thp Slate ceases; and
another, '-that no State shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Act, unless it shall express its
acceptance thereof, by hi Legislature, within
two years from the dato of its approval by the
President." On the -14th April, 1864, the time
