The present session of tbc General Assembly, now within a few days of its close, does not afford the time And opportunity necessary for the consideration ' and discussion of the many and complicated sub- i . jects -which must properly arise in the prepara tion of such a code. The sudden change in the condition of the negro from blavery to freedom, ; renders it difficult properly to' devise and pre pare a code that will be .best suited to protect their interests, and to promote their welfare. Time and thought are necessary to this end. The experience and action also of bur sister States may be bVougbt to us in a few weeks, and may shed much light upon, the subject to guide and support us.

It is but due to say that some of them were pre vented from attendance by sickness or other un avoidable cause. Your committee are there fore unable to say with eertainty,' what are the precise terms of the contracts alluded to; but from the evidence before the committee, they are of opinion that certain contracts-have been entered upon, or are about to be, between cer tain Railroads in this State, and Adams & Com pany's or as it is sometimes styled the Southern Express Company, whereby the said Express Company is to have exclusive privileges and preferments in the transportation of all Express freight over said roads, thus creating a monopo ly.

Maffitt has been acquitted by the court which tried him at Queenstown. i. Washington, Dec.10. It is generally be lieved here that the radicals have resolved to play a desperate game, but the precise dodge agreed upon has not been divulged. Some be lieve that, failing to carry out the proposed joint resolution, mid thereby paving the way for keeping all the ' Southern States out of the Union until after another Presidential election, they will undertake to change the basis of repre sentation from population, as now provided for in the Constitution, to that of representation 'accord ing to the number of voters. This would entail a change of the Constitution,, but the radicals would unquestionably vote as one man to keep all those States out of Congress -until this con stitutional amendment was passed by them re spectively.

The Boston Post of the 4th has the fol lowing dispatch m Washington : "The Tennessee Congressional delegation made a call upon the President on Saturday and were most cordially received. In conversa tion Mr Johnson expressed his confidence in the existence of a proper spirit in the South to justify a generous treatment from the adminis tration, . and said he thought every Southern member ought to be admitted who can take the test oath. lie is particularly desirous for the admission of the delegation from bis own State. The interview was a short one, but highly grati fying to the Tennesseeans." . Exports of Cotton.

The receipts of cotton at all the Southern ports since September 1st are put down at 750,000 bales. The Mayor of Mobile has prohibited the rail roads and steamers from "importing" negroes into that city. There are more now than will work for a livelihood, and thieving has become so common that persons who have property at all exposed are obliged to put guards over it to keep the uegroes from carrying it off bodily. We learn from the (Hqntsville) Alabama Advocate, that all the property of C. C. Clay, Jr., now a prisoner, has been put in process of confiscation by the United States District At torney. The Legislature of that State has petitioned the President to release him on his parole.
