Executive Dxp't, St a; ■ or Alabama, )
Montgomery, November, 1874.)
To tike Senate and Iluuee of Hepresent/i-
tises of the Stats of Alabama:
Gentlemen—No preparation is so fit
ting for tbo proper discharge of the im
portant daties for which you have assem
bled in your annual session, as an humblo
thankfulness to God for his kind super
vision during the past year. Our beloved
State has been free from pestilence, floods,
and extensive disaster to labor, and from
financial convulsions, which threw such
gloom over us twelve months siuco.
And it is sincerely hoped tbat causes aro
operating which may avert calamities
which the apprehensions of somo deemed
imminent.
The operations of tbo financial Depart*
meut of the State in her present crip
pled condition are so simple, and aro so
clearly shown in the reports of the
Auditor And the Treasurer, acccotn-
panying this message, that a reca
pitulation of their contents is deemed
unnecessary by me. It is proper to state,
however, in this connection that the
amount stated in the Treasurer’s report as
total receipts for the year is exclusive of
the amount set apart for common school
purposes, which, by the act approved
April 10, 1873, entitled an aot “to keep
in each county of this State a proportion
ate share of the public school money,” is
paid by tho Tax Collector to the Treasurer
of each county respectively, and not
passing into the State Treasury, does not
appear upon the books of that deport
ment.
The Mobile Hegister calls attention to
the fact that the question of Judge Du-
rell’a impeachment will Come before Con
gress next winter, upon a report adverse
to him by the Judiciary Committee, which
censured his conduct in the judicial pro
ceedings sanctioning tho Kellogg usurpa
tion. The Register wonders how Mr:
Stephons will meet this question.
The Brunswick Appeal of Saturday
says (hat James R. Lee, who was shot
more than a month ago by Mr. Willis, a
conductor on the Macon aud Brunswick
Railroad, died Wednesday afternoon. Mr
Willis, we learn, canuot bo found,
was admitted to bail at the time of
tho shooting in tho paltry sum
four hundred dollars. It will bo re
membered that Willis claimed that the
shooting was accidental.;
We give up much space to-day to the
message of Gov. Lewis of Alabama, which
contains much inforumtiou in reference
t? tho finances and institutions of that
State, presented in as favorable a light as
possible for tho retiriug Governor’s party
and still a very unsatisfactory exhibit.
The Governor’s concluding remarks aro
ill-natured and greatly out of date. But
nobody could expeet him to be in a good
humor, and we can therefore excuse this
exhibition of weakness aud spleen.
Two corrections of previous election
reports aro rnado by late dispatches,
the Second Congressional District of Vir
ginia, amended returns from three coun
ties show the election of John Goode,
Conservative, instead of J. II. Platt, Re
publican. Previous reports gave Mr.
Platt a majority of 2!>4 votes. Kentucky
is now reported to have elootod one Re
publican to Congress—John D. White, in
the Niuth District. Previous accounts
claimed for the Democrats an undivided
Congressional delegation from Kentucky.

Alabama l^lalaturr!
Tuesday, \ltfi. — I u tho Senate, tho
committee to whom tho matter had been
referred made a favorable report on tho
certificates of tho four new Senators
elect, and they were qualified aud took
their seats. Among them was Mr. Harris,
of Lee. Tho Senate completed its organ
ization by tho election of tho following
officers: 8. K. Brewer, Secretary; W. V.
Chordavoyne, Assistant Secretary; ‘Pat
Doran, Doorkooper. These were nil nom
inated by Democrats. A joint committee
was appointed to wait ou tho Governor
and inform him of the organization of the
two Houses, aud he Bout in a message,
which we copy elsewhere.
Iu the House, sovcrul additional mem
bers presented themselves aud were sworu
in. Mr. T oannelid, from a select com
mittee to investigate us to what officers
were needed, reported : That in tho opin
ion of tho committee ono assistant clerk,
one on grossing clerk, one assistant door
keeper, two pages, and the employment
by the doorkeeper of one fireman, would
be sufficient to meot the demands
of the House. A negro mem
ber objected to the report, contend
ing that tho Ho use would need more help
than the resolutions contemplated. But
the report was adopted, with a resolution
to begin with a small number and increase
the force if found ueoossary. The House
eleoted Cicil Whiteman Assistant Clerk,
Elmore Garrett Engrossing Clerk, and
Mr. Kuight of Lee Aasiasant Doorkeeper.
Messrs. J. E. Crows, W. Andrews aud J.
8. E*py, Democratic Representatives eloot
from Barbour county, made a claim for
tbeir Boats, and n resolution was offered
referring tho matter to n special commit
tee to exauiiuo tbo returns of the Supervi-

Act to maintain the credit of Alabnina,”
authorized tbo issuing, and negotiation,
of one and one half million of bonds of
the Htate for tho liquidation of tho exist
ing indebtedness of the State. The fifth
Rection of this act provides “that no
bonds other than those therein authorized
and those yet unsold of the issue of De
cember 15th, 1871, shall be issued or sold
for the liquidation of tho present indebt
edness of the State, or for any other pur
pose, unless ordered by subsequent legis
lation. ”
My special message of February 3d,
1873, in response to which this act was
passed, informed the General Assembly
tbat no bonds had beeu or would be
issued by me under tho act of tho Gen
oral Assembly, approved December 21st,
18754, entitled “An Act to maintain the
credit of Alabama,” for reasons well
known.
Of the bonds issued under tho act ap
proved 25th February, 1873, one hundred
and oighty-flve have been sold to pay
debts owing by the State on liabilities
contracted by my predecessor iu office.
Tho State has now bonds of tho issues of
1872 and 1873 to the amount of oue mil
lion seven hundred thouaaud dollars, in
the bauds of the following depositaries :
IIonry Clews A Co., of tho city of New
York, the sum of six hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; Giudrut mid Bailey, as
assignees in bankruptcy of the Alabama
aud Chattanooga Railroad, Montgomery,
Alabama, the sum of two hundred and
seventy thousand dollars; Now York Guar
antee and Indemnity Company, New
York city, the sum of oue lmudrod and
thirty thousand dollars; aud in the hands
of Judah Morris, of the city of Montgom
ery, Alabama, the sum of six hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. These bonds are
hold for money advanced or owing by the
Hta’e of Alabama to these several deposi
taries, excopt the bonds held by Jusiali
Morris. Those last are held by him to he

rond ou tho compliunoo of Adnu Batch and
associates with the terms of n contract
entored into by them with the State of
Alabama, for the sale and purchase of
certain rights aud property of the State
in tho said railroad. In the event of non-
compliance of said Batch and associates
with said contract tho trusts on which
said bonds aro held ceaso, and their cus
tody remitted to the Stalp. No bonds
have been issued by me trailer (ho act ap
proved 17tli March, 1871, entitled an act
“to provide for the prompt payment of
the suras now authorized by law, for tho
support of tho indigent and iusnuo of the
Alabama Insane Asylum, and for the
maintenance of the deaf, dumb nrud blind
asylum.
No arrangements having been comple
ted for the unnexatiou of West Florida to
tho State of Alabama, with the assent of
tho State of Florida under the provisions
of an act of tho General Assembly ap
proved 27th March, 1873, the bonds an
thorized by that act have not been issued.
Under tho act “to authorize the pur
chase of lands and mules for the State of
Alabama, to be used in connection with
the penitentiary,” approved 29th March,
1873, bond* of the State to the amount of
fifty thousand dollars havo been issued to
Thomas WilliumH for the purposes con
templated by that act, in accordance with
the terms and peculiar provisions of the
ruuio.

of the domestic debt of tho State, ap

of the 8tate of Alabama to the amount of

semi-annual interest has beeu paid us pro

PENITENTIARY.
The condition of tho inmates of the
pouitoutiary confined within tho walls is
satisfactory. Every care and comfort’are
extended to them consistent with tho
security necessary and proper in thoir
jwnal coufluoment. Tho reports cou-
noctod with tbo workings of the institu
tion will bo laid before you with this
message.
INSANE ASYLUM.
The Insane Asylum is in unexoeption^
ally good condition. It is full of inmates,
aud more room is needed to meet tho ap
plications made for admission.
CURRENCY.
Oar depreciated curreucy is n great
drawback to all tho functions of tho
State Government.
The aorvants of the Htato are made to
bear a loss that is enormous to them,
while this loss ill no respect exonerates
the Treasury. The fluctuations of tho
currency aro uot sought to be diminished
by speculators, as their profits depond ou
the margiu of the suuie. But tlio worst
feature oonueoted with this depreciated
currency is. that «n the bulk of the State
tux is collected in the same, there is a
standing temptation for officials who col
lect aud handlo the same, to deal illegally
or wrongfully with it, to thoir profit and
to the diminution of the receipt of legal
tenders in the Treasury And to specula
tion on the tax payers.
How carefully soever a law may *l»o
guarded, experience shows that the puri
ty of the administration of the laws is
beat secured by the most careful avoid
ance of opportunity aud temptation to
commit wrong.

work has been completed and I have the
honor to lay tho aauie before your honor
able body, together with their report
therein. Tho examination which I have
been able to give the same has not been
so thorongh as I desire. There seems to
be a full, careful aud laborions compli
ance by the commissioners with the di
rections of the act. I recommend its
oarefnl consideration by the General As
sembly and the adoption of the same.
As the statute laws -are the subject of
changes at each session of the Legisla
ture the question under this act is to ob
tain a faithful copy of the public aud gen
eral acts in existence, arranged und codi
fied, iu pursnauce of the provisions of the
act, leaving imperfection in the law of
correction in subsequent legislation.
Iu accordance with tho direction of the
8th sectiou of the act in question, I re
commend that tho commissioners be al
lowed the sum of three thousand dollars
each as a compensation for their labor.
The depreciated currency in which they
are paid renders this, in my judgment, a
reasonable compensation for the painful
and careful labor, which none but loaruud
lawyers could properly perform.
I have the honor to submit to yon a
communication from the Treasury De
partment of the United States, asking the
pass ige of a general law’ by you, ceding
to the United Slates jurisdiction iu all
cases of sites of light houses and other
aids to navigation*, built on submerged
foundations, and where the land under
tho water is owned by the State, provid
ing for the cession to the United States
of the land also. The form of a law sup
posed to cover all such cases, accompanies
tbo communication. The Name is here
with respectfully submitted for your con
sideration and action.
The present condition of the Alabama
•and Chattanooga Railroad is of the great
est importance to the credit of our State,
in her liability for the oudorsed debt of
that corporation is the only obstacle to the
resumption of the payment of interest on
our debt. Tho liability of tho State a*
endorser uuder tho nets of tho General
Assembly of Alabama for $4,720,000 of
the bonds of that oorporutiou has never
been questioned by any department of tho
8tute. On that liability the State paid,
during tho administration of my immedi
ate predecessor, in interest, the sum »>f
about eight hundred and thirty-four
thousand dollars ($834,000) and there are
now in arrears the sum of nine hundred
aud thirty-four thousand dollars ($034,-
000) as iu intoront—and it is believed this
is short by ono hundred aud ton thousand
dollars ($110,000). Tho State also be
came responsible for the stun of three
hnndrod and twelve thousand dollars
($312,000) ns purchase money bid by
Governor Lindsay at bankrupt sale—and
has paid large sums its fees to attorneys—
one bundled and forty thousand dollars
have been paid to the employees of the
road, under the receivership of tho State,
when first seized by Governor Lindsay.
Besides, there are quite a number of suits
now pending against tho State for dama
ges to person and property, happening du
ring tho holding of tho road by that re
ceiver.
Ou the 30th day of May, 1873, the trus
tees of holders of the first mortgage bonds
tiled thoir bill on the chancery side of tho
Circuit Court of the Unitod Statu*, hold
in Afobile, rejiroseuting, aud being tho
only parties who can, in a court of chan
cery, represent the said boud-holders, on
which s>»id court, by decree, authorized
Receivers therein appointed to issue cer
tificates to the amount of ono million two
huudred thousand dollars to be used in
repairing and equipping said railroad, in
order to prevent its deterioration and ul
timate total loss, which said certificates
by said decree, aro declared to he n prior
lien to tho first mortgage bonds, en
dorsed by the Stale. It does not yet ap
pear what amount of said certificates have
been used by said Receivers. But it is
well kuowu that tho condition of said road
was not thereby improved.
By a decree of August 24th, 1871, of the
same court, the said road was placed iu
tho hands of the Trustees of the holders
of tho mortgage bonds of said road, who
now control and manage tho same, under
the said decree.
The South and North Alubiina Railroad
has complied with tho Act of the General
Assembly, approved April 21st, 1873, and
has surrendered her endorsed bonds to
tbo amount of $3,3515,000 (three million
six hundred and thirty-five thousand dol
lars^, aud received from tho State bonds
to the amount of threo hundred and forty-
one thousand dollars ($5141,000.00) under
said aot of tho Legislature.
Tho Savannah and Memphis Railroad
has made no default in paymontof bor in
terest, and has completed twenty (20)
miles of additional road, for tho examina
tion of which Commissioners have been
appointed, but have uot yet reported.
Tho other railroads for whom tho State
has endorsed bonds are in default in the
payment of interest on thoir bonds, and
thoso whiob are incomplete, are doing
nothing iu the construction of thoir roads
It is to be hoped that the impatience
ami rostiveuoss of many of our people
uudor the operation of reconstruction
will abate into patriotic submission tb
law. It is believed that this reluctant
recognition of the national authority docs
not penetrate tho hearts of the masses.
They uatnrally dosiro peace and quiet,
that they may reap tho frnitiou of labor
and thrift iu the education and ooiufort of
their families. This dianffection is cher
ished and pronounced by u cIorh a politi
cal speculators, who imugiuo that profit
may be developed from alarm and chaos.
The good sonso aud benevolent courage
of the masses of the people, in demand
ing a cessation of these alarms, which are
as unprofitable as they are unpatriotic,
conRtituto tho only remedy for this chron
ic evil.
A calm retrospect of tho acts of tho
political leaders of the States Rights
party in the South for the last fourteen
years show that they have only brought
disappointments to their adherents and
disaster ou tho whole country ; ninl every
effort to build up what they torm the
rights of (he States has only consolidated
aud crystalized the national authority.
The* war which they inaugurated, be
cause of embarrassments to tho asserted
rights of carrying slavery in the Territo
ries, caused in tho order of Frovidcuoe its
destruction in tho States. Their persist
ent refusal to accept tho results of the
appeals to arms, manifested iu their re
pugnance to the amendments of tho Con
stitution of the United States, seriatim ;
tho unjust and illjudged legislation of sev
eral of the State* regulating labor-con
tracts and vagrancy; and the association-
al hostility to the rights of citizens, have
all resulted in the exercise of national au
thority, both legislative aud judicial, which
tho situation naturally suggested as essen
tial to vindicate the paramount law of tho
land. While we may naturally regret that
these issues, with thoir attendant disas
ters, were thrust upon this generation, we
yet have just reason to rejoice that the
national authority has been vindicated,

that the contest will be a successful one.

Montgomery Blaxb.—This gentleman
war an original Republican, and was Air.
Lincoln’s Postmaster General during the
war. His “loyalty,” therefore, cannot bo
questioned. But he talks most disloyally
and impudently about the nation’s wards,
and shows that he kuows a good deal
about them, as witness the following ex-
tract from his remarks in a late interview
with tho reporter of a New York Radical
paper:
“Now,” said Mr. Blair, with the opin-
ateineKB of Baillie Nichol Jarvis, “you
needn’t tell me anything about niggers.
As the Kentucky Congressman said he
knew all about bogs because he was
brought up amongst ’em, I know all about
niggers. They have just learned to sell
out their votes, and for the remainder of
the history of tho country the negro will
be up for sale. He’ll get that forty acres
and a mule out of trading his vote. You
have jmt put n solid chunk of everlasting
corruption in tho Southern States, and os
tho whito natives are picking up a littlo
money there now, they have the means to
buy that black mass to the end of days.
It’ll be just the same in Mississippi as in
Maryland. Consequently the Southern
States aro lost forever to the Republicans
by the very measuro they relied on to
hold them. What do you think of a race
that never lifted a hand for themselves in
a war for their freedom four years long ?”
