THE LEOtSLATTRE. - ffcta body baa perfected aa yet bat Terr little iniportant legislation, though it baa been In ara aion tor thirty-one daya. A ran) number of lo cal and private bills hare been introduced, and hare uonaumtd much of the time of the Legisla ture in their diar Marion and oorwidefatioB. Though theae Wlla are of no general conarqtience to the people of the State, many ol them are of great imitortanoe h certain lrjcalltlca. It is to la hoped that tllU Itin l nf legialadoh in pretty weft through with for the aemion, and that here after the two Houses will be able to derote themselves wholly to the great measurea of Icg . , ..... ,n njueu a consiaera- bk portion of lha time of lha Assembly was that of the per diem and mileage of its member. Thia question has been disposed of by the pas aagB of a law fixing the pa- diem at V, and mile age at 20 cents. We will not complain at thia act, though wo thought the par dim should hare bean filed at $4 and the mileage at 1 5 cents. The most important measure of the anwion, not even excepting that of impeachment, i that of calling a Convention. A bill to submit the question of a restricted 'on vent ion to the peo ple has been perfected by the Senate and passed its several reading in thai Ifouas. It is pre sumed that it will speedily pasa the other House and become a law. We will lay it before our reiders aa soon aa we can obtain a copy of it af ter its final paaaage. We hare given a very condensed report of the proceedings for several days, includinga portion of those on the impeachment of the Governor. We Wilj publish the article of impeachment, which ware not received in tide for thia week'a im in our next, and will keep our readers aa well posted aa w can. The Court of Impeach aunt will be organised on ip day, but the trial, w.e snpprjee, will not commence for several days ye. When it does commence it will engage the whole time of the Senate until it i conclu.- ,ded. 44 it is most sincerely to be hoped that that body will not again find time from its leg itimate business lo engage in the work of ma king pert platforms, unbsee it can do much bet- terlhB it did in the resolution on eutrVegc. atrhongh hi fee at the ratea flrcd rnQrht Isrfr- ly exceed that sum. It atoo restnmt the old stem of practice lcfor -lusticea of tba I'eace, and ia the tuurts, aa far aa it can bo restored under the present eon-iiioiimv. Notwithstanding the Inapiirunre of thia Mil. n.l the simiv nd nefwasarv reform it irots- ! to niaf the Senate refused to recognise the w-T7. t i j .i t i (sie i laaisawawwai o r ritrm w ,w,ii,n.. -eeivii a nrrmortal or MM from It. Por thb we hare no carwe of complaint agaiiaat the Sen ate. Hut when Senator J.ehmsn adopted the bibvimd litro4ool it a-lii o,f n, in tba axur elae of his undoubted fant-tlona aa a eV-nator, the rejection of it by the Senate cannot be defended. Thl latter eat by the Senate an only be ac counted for on the ground of partizaniam, pre judice or peaslon. The present ornate was elected by Use frieud of reform, and how it can justify ilael f to the people for the rejection of one of he beat reform bills that ha been, or will be, brought before it, simply on lire ground that It wa origiauA'y prepared by a commission which it did not cbooen kt recognise, w a are at a loas to know. In atotono af the oearae of the Senate we see that the 5nfiaef argues that a bill was passed at the last session of the legislature aMUking the Code Commission. In this the Sratiasf ia bvh takrn. The office of Code Commissioner is es tablished by the Constitution itself, and, there fore, cannot be abolished by llie Legislature. And if the Sentintl will examine the journals of the last seasion It will are that the bill to which it refer not only did not abolish the Code Com- mission, but did not even purport to do ao. The bill pasted at the lost session only purported to repeal the teatb auction of an ordinance of the Convention appointing Code Commissioners, which section provided for the payment of a salary of $200 per month co each of said C miaaionera. 1 on purported to be a bill to de prive tbfc Coi,raisiottcnuf their snlary. Whetb e; tlte legislature had the power, under the prin- ciule well settled in this .State in the case of Hoke r. Henderson. that office holders have vested rights in the office of which they cannot be derived while the office, or their tenure, con tinue, and under the prorVons of section 2 of Article IV of our present Constitution, to de prive thoCommisaioners of their salary entirely ia a question- that Wf will not discuss, but will le ive lo the parties concerned. Hut it isquite certain that it has no power to abolish the office of Code Commissioner, and it has not attempted to do ao. The office still exista and will con tinue toexiat until it is abolished by an amend ment to the Constitution. And we hope the San mini ii is Bnoitiincdjn (he only way that a emsnVuftoW office enn be abolished the fact of its existence may as well bs recognised. Hut, as we have already said, we will not quarrel with the Senate for refusing to recognize it. Hut it was bound to recognise Senator Leh man, mid it cannot justify it-elf in rejecting a hill offered by him which yrns not only unob jectionable in its character, but was highly im portant and neces- irv to accomplish much need- cd legislation simply because it had previously rejected il when oflared by the Code Commis sion. It may have been indelicate iu Mr. Leh man to adopt and otter the bill at the time he did, hut he had an undoubted rigid to do ao. And the exercise of an undoubted right by a Senator can never, it seems to us, be an indigni ty to the body of which h ia a member. PREPARING FOR THE DEFENSE. h- r4arlaa "aba" sb of the hoar?

W a-1 1 1. v., ton, Dec. 17, 1870. The debate on the amnesty bill, together witn the controversy between Senators Schnrs and Drake, how very clearlv that the Republican parte is threatened with serious divisions. It is a question with the leader bow they may be treated. Your correspondent learns from a soarce to be credited that some of the prominent mem hers of the partv are considering a plan bv which tin ir difficult ii s mav he harmonised. Tbeirchief object ia to get those who represent the high tar iff' interesta of New England and Pennsylvania to make concession tn the demand of lha W 111 the shape of a reduction there. It la un doubtedly the object of Si hiirz, Trumbull, and other aagaciotia politician, to make the Repub lican party a party of reform, and thus, by a bold polh-y, meet the demands of the popular will ; but il is ouite certain that this will be re sisted by Butler, Morton, and Cameron, who ran the Administration. The impression, therefore, among the best informed i that these disaen--ions must inevitably result in a split of the par- lJMmsnm'nT vd ate ol the peculiar interests of New England, but hb policy also has looked to the inter est of the bondholder and the appreciation of United States Idjfck For this purpose he has steadily pur-'iiid I i -idea gf c infract ing the public debt, which has been at the material expense of the nrodec ive IPaas -o,,l I South. The people of those sections demand s different policy, and the President, with a view io nu- succession, is-anxious to gain Js.pujn ril v by an aoijuiescence in their view. This alone, if oire were 1101 oilier points or itillerence, ia suf- ficient cause for Barnwell' retirement. It is only to be added that there is everv probability of his succeeding Henry Wilsort ns t'nited States Senator from Massachusetts a fact which give Wilson the moat profound apprehensions of a decay of hi own greatness.
