General Assembly.—On Saturday it will be seen, that the first step in the great duty devolved on the present Legislature, of reorganizing the Government, was taken in the reference of the whole subject of the judiciary, to the Committee of Courts of Justice: a Committee that includes much of the legal wisdom and talent of the House, and appointed no doubt with a special view to the most weighty and important duty of digesting a system of judicature.

Mr. Garland's resolutions form a matter of subordinate, but considerable interest. It remains to be seen, if the Legislature, in the idea that they are discharging a debt of gratitude to the conquerors of national Independence, are prepared to place immense sums of money on the pockets of men who never saw an enemy, or heard the sound of hostile cannon, or rendered any service to the country. Such are the men, whom the voice of rumor designates as the general holders of these claims: and not the real soldiers of the Revolution, or their descendants. Millions if necessary, to the real soldier or his posterity, but not a stiver to the speculator upon his ignorance or his necessities.
