LegiiUtare, it. Uat Marion, pMMd Ike nguUi appropriation bill for tbeeamnt wtponMi of ike Government toe next jeer, on Mondaj tbe 11th inet Aattng Gov. Conley, retained it till Fri- dev, the 15th inat—tbe Uat day ol the ■mAh, when he nude tbe following in donement upon tbe bill: The following appropriation, mad. by thi. act, to-wit: Tha aeveral appropriations in the first section; the appropiiation for a printing fond in the second aeotion: tbe appro priation to pay tbe salary of the pnnei pa! beeper of tbe Penitentiaiy in the thirteenth section; the appropriation to pay the interest on tbe pnblio debt, cre ated prior to July 4, 1868, in the 14th section, (this appropriation being strick en ont for the reason that it discrimi nates nnjoatly between tbe creditor, of tbe State), and tbe appropriation to the *Clerk of the Supremo Court, in tbe ICtb section, are disapproved and stricken out. All other appropriations made by this act, and not specially set forth a, disapproved, are approved. December 15th, 1871. Benjamin Conner, Governor. It will be perceived that he goes through the form of vetoing several items in the bill, but gives his reasons for doing so in only one case—tbst of tbe interest on the Bonds created before the 4th of July, 1868—“ that it discriminates nnjustly between tbe creditor, of tbe Stale.'' The meaning of which it, that beoaose tha Legislature hat not provided for paying the interest on Bollock' fraudulent end illegal issues, he would not allow the interest to be paid on those that are known to be honestly due by the State, it he oonhl help It. This is tbe English of it, if vre understand it right ly, nnd,|if this be oorroct, be baa clearly identified himself with the interests the plundering Bond Bing. Tbe first section of the bill, which wholly vetoed, provides for the payment of the salaries of the Governor and State House olfioers, Judges of Supreme and Superior Courts, tee. The printing fund named in the section is $15,000. The 13th section appropriate $1,000 to the principal keeper of the penitentiary; and the 16th $800 to the Clerk of the Bnpremi Court for stationery, reoord books and binding Opinions. Wo have triod to n"n« til* rciia,m tnr valnlna thcae believe it is bocauso tho old law makes standing appropriation tor thee purpo se.!, at higher figure than thia bill pro vides. To illustrate: The printing fund which he vetoes is $15,000. The amount of thia fund under the old law is $35,000. Henry Clews fc Co., Write a Let ter. In the Constitution, at yesterday morn ing, we find a letter from Henry Clews A Co., addressed to tho editors of that pa per, whioh is one of tho curiosities of modern fiuanciul literature. In it they say they undertook to nego tiate the securities of the Brunswick and A'bany Railroad Company, “deeming tha enlarprise oaa of great intrinsic merit. This allegation does not speak well for their good sous". They ought to have known the geography, products and re sources of the country through whioh the rood was to paas. They could have known it if they had mode the effort, or had desired such knowledge. They ought to have known that an enterprise requi ring e State snbsidy or indorsement of 323,000 per mile to put it through oould not possibly be one of "great intrinsic merit,” and that if it possessed snob "in trinsis merit,” tbe snbsidy was not need ed; and that, in either cose, the State in dorsement of $33,000 per mile was ob tained by corruption and fraud. They, also, knew well, that the Governor and Legislature were of the carpet-bag scala wag stripe; and if they hod ordinary dis cernment, knew tho whole crew were aiming) to plunder us. They ought to have known that all this would be over hauled some day, and all fraud, swind ling and wrong-doing would he property dealt with. Mo; the probability is tliat they were but too glad of an opportunity to “ go in” with Uie Ring of plunderers, and as sist in fleeciug us while we were pinned to the earth with Grant's bayonets Bat they my: la war la UlM* McurtUca, ws Ml th. utmost oooStlMlc* that ws wars rceuaiau-udiug to our oU- eats so.

Mow, Clews A Co. eould not hare been i guarani at tha time that ws were being robbed and our substanoe devoured by theee very bonde and their koldere. They knew that whatever aeeistauce they gave in selling these bonds would be so much aid in a swindling scheme. They apnld not hat know lhaltheeeboala werejhet- der, and that the sale of them would be a fraud either upon the people of Georgia or the pnrehaaers of the bonds They knew, also, that Bullock bad issued these hoods oentrary to tha ptoviaioaa of law and the Cputitsition. They wen kept poOed on all these things; but, inotqpd of fbeedieg the facts laid before them, they aided the eehemes of Bullock and Henry Clews seems to have no more regard for truth than if the article w worthless, Slid doubtless it is, in hi, esti mation. Shortly sfter Bollock fled from justice Dr. Angier called upon him, ss the aguut of the State of Georgia, for information concerning the bund, of the tttate, which he, as Bullock's agent ought to have been able to give. Clews, in reply, as tbe readers of Tan Sow will recollect, denied being the agent of the State. Our readers, also, will reoolleot, that we pro duced Clews' own letters, written before that time, in which he claimed to be the agent of the State. When Mr. Crosby, Clews’ lawyer, was here, we had a conversation with him, and inquired why it was that Clews had made this denial in the face of his own avowals. He said Clews was the agent, bnt not ike financial agent of the State— thus drawing a distinction that seemed to ns quite ridiculous. In the letter of Clews A Co., published in the Constitution of yesterday, in speak ing of the Brunswick and Albany Rail road bonds, they use the following lan guage: We had no interest in the securities different from what we hayo in all simi lar knaiaess submitted to onr care, viz: tluktonr reoommendation sbonld be justi fied by the reenlt to investors, anil oar just commissions fairly earned. Here they seek to moke the impression that they did not belong to the plunder ing bond ring; that they were not in the conspiracy of Kimball, Bullock, Blodgett and others, to defraud the t.eoplo of Georgia out of millions of dollars. Thir is abont the coolest piece of impudenoe we have lately seen. Wlist will the peo ple think, when we tell them that Mr. Clews was then, and now is, a stock holder and on officer of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad! We have been permitted to examine s number of letters and telegrams addressed to Dr. Angier, conclusively establishing this fact On the 2d July, 1870, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company, held st its oifioe, Mo. 33 Wall street, New York, it was “unanimously resolved tbst Henry Clews, Esq., Treasurer, be and he is hereby appointed egent of this Com pany, to receive from the Treasurer of the State of Georgia the bonds guaran tied by the Btote," tea.

On the 4th August, 1870, Mr. Clews wrote Another letter to Dr. Angier, whioh he signetl as “Treasurer and Agent” of the Company. Telegraphic dispatches dated the 4th, 0th, 7th, 8th and 0th August, and othen besides, were addressed to Dr. A., aud signed by Clews as Treasurer of the Company. The oharter grautiug aid to the ltoad, requires the coiupuuy to execute a mort gage to the State upon the entire Rood and all its property and effects. This mortgage was cxeoutod on tho first day of October, 1869. It is signed by Chos. L. FfOflt, President, aud Henry Clews, JVvasurer. When Mr. Crosby was here he dis tinctly stated that it Wiu* tho purpose of Clews & Co., to pay off, without delay, all the indebtedness of the Brunswick & Albany Railroad, and the Cartcrsvillo aud Van Wert Railroad, as soon as tho same oould l>e definitely ascertained, aud press forward the work on both to completion, aud that their own interest in the said roads, cc mpellod them to teko charge of and complete tho biuuo without delay. These statements of Mr. Crosby were eagerly seized upon by a fow of the presses in the States which seem to be in the interest of the Ring, so far as to de fend and apologise for them on every Occasion, and loudly heralded as “good Rows!” And yet Clews A Co. have tho impu- donco to tell the public they had no in terest in those fraudulent, awindling bonds, different from other securities sold by them on commission! We are not yet douo with this letter. Clews A Co. cannot disconnect them selves from the plundering Bond Ring. They are among the original conspira tors and are still playing tho same hand. of Georgia, That there shall be a commit tee appointed of three, one by the Presi dent of the Henate, and two by the Speaker of the Honso of Representa tives, who shall have full power and au thority to examine and ascertain the number of bonds which have been is sued os hereinbefore recited in the pre amble of this act, and the aggregate amount thereof ; and so far os they have btcn sold or hypothecated, by whom s i.d, the amount of money paid, to whom paid, when paid, for what purpose nego tiated, and all other facts connected with tne history of said bonds, and to report the some to the General Assembly at its next session.
