Clews a Co. Again.
We had not room yesterday tor the let
ter of Henry Clews k Co., addressed to
the editors of the Comtitulion, but pub
lish it to-day.
We invite pubiie attention to the docu
ment It is worthy of study. The more
it is considered, the more it excites in
dignatioo, and the more its venal charac
ter appears.
Clews k Co. ssy that they favored ob
literating “the sectional feeling of en
niity” growing out of the war; that they
favored the “material development of the
Southern States;’* that their “attention”
was directed “to the State of Georgia in
especial,” to “take the lead in the tide of
progress,” and that to “promote" these
objects, they “endeavored to aid the ef
forts which were making to establish a
railway system throughout the State,’
Ac., Are.
Very praiseworthy—such disinterested,
benevolent designs! not at all actuated
by self interest! never once thought of
joining a King to plunder the State and
people whom they so loved and sympa
thised with! never for a moment intend
ed to aid public robbers, or participate in
their spoils! Very patriotic! very philan
thropic indeed!
As we stated yosterday, Henry Clows
Ac Co. could not but know that the
Brnnswiok and Albany Railroad was a
swindling concern, and they could not
but know that, in selling the indorsed
bonds of that Company, or tho State
bouds issued in exchange for their sec
ond mortgage, they were aiding, cither
in defrauding tho peoplo of Georgia, or
the purchasers of the bonds. It U a re
flection on tlieir intelligence to suggest
that they did not know all this.
But we showed oonduaively that they
wsre among the chief members of the
swindling King, aud, therefore, aro parti
ceps criminis in whatever of fraud that
has resulted. We showed that there
was no truth in the statement made by
them with uutdushiug effrontery, that
they hod HO inter est in the sale of these
bonds beyond makiog an honest commis
sion I
Their patriotic pretentious, and pro
fessions of sympathy and disinterested
hooevahmee, remind us of a wolf that
would uurso and fondle a lamb till it
would be of sufficient Km to afford
meal aud glut his savage maw.
The law required the offlcrs of the
ftofcl to execute and deliver to the Treas
urer of the State its second mortgage
bonds to the amount of 93,800,000, before
any qf the State bomb in exchange should
be delivered to the Road} Clews knew
this, also; yet, knowingly, he received
for negotiation and sale $880,000 ex
change gold bonds of the State, when
only $055,000 of the bonds of the Rood,
had been deposited with the Treasurer.
He afterwards reoeivod, for negotiation
and sale, $1,880,000 of these exchange
gold bonds of vhe State before another
dollar's worth of the bonds of the Road
bad been deposited with the State Tress
urer—all this knowingly. Hia handsome
pretensions have not the And characteris
tic of truth or sincerity.
We have Already given sufficient foots
to show that the whole Brunswick and
Albany Railroad enterprise wee an inten
tional swindle—a huge fraud designedly
perpetrated for no other purpose than that
• of plundering our people that tlioeo on
gnged in the work might fatten upon the
spoils. Henry Clews was a member and
an officer of the company, and a partici
pant in whatever may have been the
plaua, hopes and designs of the oomp&ny
He was a member el the Ring, and no
doubt played lot hi* share of the plun
der.
Henry Clews is a young man a Bedi
cal pet—a lucky stock gambler, who* it is
fluid, acquired his peslUen by being in
tensely loyal and betting on gold during
the war, and kept out of the Northern
army because bn was an ummturaliiad
foreigner. He has ainoe been fcneemed
in such swindling enterprises as the
Rnmnuiek k Albany, and Oartsmille k
Van Wert railroads. Oar readers will all
recollect the frightful acoount they bad
against the State. It seems that they
have also had, to some extent, the nknf
1 pelakng of a lot of currency bonds of the
e SkMiOf Georgia, which were paid off, and
culpable in this matter, we do not say,
but there is a black history connected
with it
In tlie face of all this, Henry Clews k
Co. have the impudence to read a lecture
to the people of Georgia upon morals,
and tho "infamy” of disowning our ob
ligations! The devil quoting Scripture,
ora fallen angel angel teaching virtue!—
Tho people of Qeorgia are able to take
care of their own honor, and will do fo
without being advised thereto by any
•uoh person us Henry Clews.
In tuia.ounection, we call attention to
the fact that our State Treasurer, Dr.
Angior, has made provision to fully re
deem the bonds of the State failing due
the 1st day of January next They will be
paid on presentation, either at the Treasu
ry, or at the Fourth National Bunk in New
York, and all the honest indebtedness of
the State will be looked after and met at
maturity, without any impertinent sug
gestions from those who can’t escape the
o<Hnm of assisting in defrauding ns.
Henry Clews k Co. hud better take care
of their own honor. They had better
free themselves from suspicion, before
lecturing os upon the preservation of our
honor.
From the Constitution of tho 27th Inst.
belter from Henry Clews & Co.
New York, December 20.
Editor,f Constitution: Various articles
which have appeared from time to time
in your pa per, relating to bouds of the
State of Georgia, with which we have
been more or less directly connected, lead
us to ask the privilege of your columns,
for a brief word in relation to onr asso
ciation with the Common* .'tilth.
Immediately after the close of the late
civil war, it was our conviction that the
sectional feeling of enmity arising out of
the strife, could be best obliterated by
linking the North and South in identical
interests, for the material development oi
the Southern Stutes. From that time to
the present, our efforts and our means
have alike been turned in this direction,
and we have given what aid has been in
our power to movements tending to the
end which wc believed profitable alike to
the individual interests involved and to
the country at largo. To the State of
Georgia in especial, our attention was
directed, fitted by geographical position
and natural advautuges to take the lead
in tho tide of progress, and to bo the
centre of distribution for all Southern
products; and as the ohief means to pro
mote this end we liavo endeavored to uid
efforts which were making to establish a
railway system throughout the State,suit
able to control a business which, before
many years must prove of vast mogui
tude, comprising trans-continental travel
over at least one line of Pacifio Railway,
and a largo proportion of traffic in the
products of the Western States, which
must naturally seek the shortest route to
the seaboard.
We were solicited by tho contractors
of the Brnnswiok and Albany Railroad
Company, among other concerns, to un
dertake the negotiation of their securities,
and deeming the enterprise one of great
intrinsic merit, we undertook the nego
tiation, and soul for them about $2,500,
000 of their first mortgage indorsed bonds,
and about $500,000 of State gold bonds
issued iu aid of the enterprise. In deal
ing in these securities, we felt the utmost
Confidence that we were recommending
to our olients and friends a bond of un
questionable worth, kuowing the high
credit previously enjoyed by the State,
aud the wealth aud character of tho peo
ple. The best legal talent of our city ex
amined tho laws and methods of issue of
the bonds and pronounced everything
order and valid. Tho seal of the State
aud the signatures ot its officers proved
that all forms had been complied with ia
regard to registry aud other requirements
of tho statute. Wo had no interest in the
securities different from what we have in
all similar business submitted to our care,
viz: that our recommendation should be
justified by the result to investors, aud
our just commissions fairly earned.
Alter we had successfully placed the
greater portion of the railroad bonds we
wero desired by tho late Governor to
undertake the negotiation of a loan in
behalf of tho State of Georgia, the au
thority for which was showu to our coun
sel, aud which appeared to have been
sanctioned, not only by legislative
enactments, but by popular need. We,
therefore, readily undertook the business.
The proceeds of $1,850,000 bonds wero
placed to the crodjt of tho State, repre
sented by its Executive, from whom we
hod received the securities. A certificate
of tho registry of the bonds At tho Comp
troller's office and report to .ho Treasu
rer by him for reoord was duly furnished
os before undertaking the negotiation.
The proceeds of the bonds, we were in
formed, wero devoted to expenses attend
ing the removal of the capitol of the
Btate to the new seat of Govi-rmneat, to
redemption of past due bouds, and pay.
ing Hunting obligations of the State—
purposes which seemed most titling and
needful tor the public. The remunera
tion received by us for all our negotia
tions above referred to wj . such only ai
is commonly paid iu like transactions,
aud such as we had dai y Applications to
undertake.
The above is a full history of our con
nectiou with the White. We have been
actuated throughout by a feeling of
friendliuoss towards the South at large,
and by a desire in particular to assist ir
furnishing the means essential to estab
lish the Btate of Georgia in the positiou
of the Empire State of the South. The
securities which we have sold are dis
tributed in numberless hands throughout
Europe and this country, who, like our
selves, have based thoir faith upon the
seal and signature of the State. Any
dishonor to its obligations on the part of
the State, such os the counsels of some of
the leuisiators would seem to indicate,
must mil very widely on parties who have
trusted to the reputation of tho State,
unblemished heretofore in the financial
world, aud who have known nothing, or
cared for nothing, about political and
sectional strifes, confiding in the belief
that the financial interests of the Com
monwealth must he cared for by what
ever party predominated.
Should Georgia disown obligations thus
iaooraed, lb# infamy must extend
through every pert of the financial world,
And will result not only in shutting off
the State from help in all future applica
tions which may be made for loans, but
also must close the avenues of capital to
municipalities, corporations, and individ
uals in a large measure throughout tho
borders of the Btate. The experience of
ether portions of the Un.oo is sufficient
guide as to the evil policy of a Btate dis
regarding its obligations. Least of all
can Georgia afford to place itself among
those few Btates which have in an evS
hour repudiated their honest debts, just
as capital and population are beginning
to turn toward it. The money which has
already been introduced in its borders,
even though, perhaps, not expended with
care as designed in the statute, as is now
able property, aud
rnent.
resources for future
development. Let Georgia honestly sus
tain debts honestly contracted on the
part of tho lenders, and in the future it
can command in the moneyed world
whatever means it may need. *Let it dis
own its obligations, and henceforth its
progress is checked; the tide of wealth
is turned ia other directions, and every
individual throughout its boundaries is
dishonored.
Wo offer these counsels at the dicta
tion, not of any penonsl interest, but
solely from a desire to urge upon the
legislators of Georgia not to rashly and
blindly incur consequences from which
they cannot in all time escape. Very re
spectfully, your obedient servonts,
