LccNIiUtp Expenses.
OoTemar’s Message.
To the General Assembly of
Georgia.
We arc glad to see that the Legisla
tor" is Itcginning the work of retrench-
n.uat by a rcd.iciiou of the pay of its
own members; a bill to pay each Sen
ator aud Representative $240 a year,
and actual traveling expenses, having,
we believe, passed tbe House.
In tbe matter of Clerks the reform
is only partial—the number proposed
for each house being twelve. There is
no need of more than eight in the
House and six in the Senate, until near
the close of each session, when for n
week some extra force is required.—
We know by experience that two clerks
each in the enrolling and engrossing
departments, (besides, of course, the
chief clerks, his assistant, and tbe jour
nalizing clerk), ran do all the work re
quired the first month of the session.—
We have known one expci t to do all
t’n> engrossing and enrolling in the
ticmt.o for weeks! Wlvit need then
of twelve. Apply the pruning knife
n little closer, Messeurs Legislators.—
Tbe times demand it.

Atlanta, Ua., November4,1671.
7b the Smote and Houst of Repre
sent! :—
The unexpected resignation of
his Excellency Governor Bullock,
has devolved upon me, as President
of the Senate, the exercise of tbe
functions pertaining to the Execu*
tive Department.
In entering upon the discharge
of this laborious and responsible
task at this exciting period in our
history, I can but express the diffi
dence which I feel in assuming this
weighty responsibility. T enter
upon the discharge of these duties,
however, with the fixed purpose
th it I will, during the limited peri
od of my official term, do all in iny
power to promote peace, harmony,
! most cheerfully give all the aid of
the Executive branch of the gov*
eminent, so as to have this impor
tant subject fully and clearly uns
derstood.
EXECUTIN'* OF TOE LAWS.
It is well kuowu to the General
Assembly that violations of the
law, growing, in a great measure, no
doubt, out of the demoralization which
always follows from a war of the mag
nitude of that through which we heave
just passed, have been alarmingly fre
quent in this State; and it is certain-
the duty of every public officer and
every good citizen to do everything in
K wer to discountenance and check
sness and crime of every charac
ter. So long as popular sentiment Is
not decided upon this question, and
criminals can feel that they have popu
lar countenance, we can expect but
little improvement. It therefore be
comes the (lu
islativc and
our people,
sst interests
Tin: Sr\TK Printing.—We ob
serve that Mr. Lester, of Chatham,
lias introduced a bill to give tbe State
Printing to the lowe.-t bidder. This is
a movement in tbe right direction.—
Tli<* practice of allowing th ■ Printer a
jier cent on the cost of the work, is a
standing encouragement to wasteful
ness and extravagance and has cost the
State thousands of dollars. Under
this rule the printer may employ an
unnecessary nunilier of hands by tbe
week, and tbe larger wages be pays
tbe larger per cent, be receives. Tffc
more be pays for pajicr and press work
the greater bis profits. So of binding,
and everything connected with tbe
work. Tbe economical and proper
way to have the printing done is to let
it to a responsible bidder, as proposed
by Mr. lister’s bill—requiring ample
bond for the faithful execution of the
work
The Legislature can no more effec
tively apply themselves to retrench
ment, than by the passage of Mr. Les
ter’s bill.
Gov. Conley’s Message.—We
present the message of Gov. Conley in
this issue of the Banner. While we dis
sent from some of his allusions to what
may lie termed tbe rebel spirit of our
people, there can lie littlo fault found
with tbe leading points of tbe message,
and if the acting Executive shall cor
dially co-operate with the friends of
law and order, and of retrenchment
and reform in public expenditure, he
may do the State incalculable service.
A Slander Nailed.—Wc
surprised to learn that sonic one report
ed to the Democratic Senntoi ial caucus
(lieforc which Col. J. B. Estes was a
candidate for Secretary of the Senate)
that Col. E. had presided over a Radi
cal meeting in Franklin county. Col.
Estes denounces the chnrgc as totally
untrue. Wc have known Col. Estes
intimately for ten years, and know
that there never has liccn a drop of
radical blood in him. He is, and al
ways has been, a true blue wool-hat
Democrat, and nothing shorter.
and good will anion
and to advance tbe
of the State.
While it is well known to you
and the people of Georgia that I
have been, and am now, a consis
tent and unyielding Republican, I
shall not, in the discharge of my
Executive duties, permit politics
to have anything to do with my
conduct While in my present of
fice, I am Governor of t ie people
of the wide State, without regard
to party distinctions; and I invite
all, without reference to race, color,
or party alliance, who may have
business connected with my depart
ment, to approach me freely, and
make known their wishes at any
time, with tue assurance that I will
d<» all in my power to promote the
interests of each, in every matter
p-.taning to n.y • ffi.-ial duties, to
the extent of my ability.
It seems to me that wc have had
enough of wrangling and strife, and
crimination and recrimination. The
country needs repose and quiet
will- h can never he promoted by
continually fomenting political
strifer. We have had experience
enough to demonstraiien that noth
ing has been gained to the people
of the South by the adoption of a
leliant an l boisterous course, while
the power rests in the Government
hacked by a vast majority of the
people of the Union. Under the
circumstances, it is my sincere wish
that every department of the gov
ernment of this State, and every
class of people, may so shape theii
conduct that there may be no reason
for any declaration of martial law
any suspension of the writ of habe>
as corpus, or any further reconstruc
ion. If the people of the South
will be law abiding and law enforc
ing, and lay aside all extreme meas
ures, iny opinion is that the (lay
is not far distant when the Congress
of the United States will proclaim
by act universal amnesty, thereby
restoring every citizen of the South
to the full measure of citizenship,
with nil the rights pertaining to the
same. This is a consummation
devoutly to he hoped for at the
earliest day possible.
FINANCES.
A very large proportion of the
property of the people of this State
was destroyed by the late unfortu
nate war, leaving our people great-,
ly impoverished, and very much
discouraged. They have struggled
however with an energy aud zeal
that are highly commendable. We
see around us on every hand the
signs of returning prosjierity, which
js very gratifying to the heart of
every patriot. But the heavy bur
dens of the government have a very
were depressing effect. The taxes are
much higher than they were before
the war, while the property owned
by the people of the Suite, upon
which taxes arc to be paid, is infi
nitely less. Under these circum
stance it is a question well worthy
the attention of every department
of the government how we may so
administer the affairs of the State
as to impose the lightest burdens
uixm ilie people, and secure the
greatest efficiency in the adminis
tration of public affairs. In my opin
ion, it is tlic imperative duty of the
Lcgislativ and Executive Depart
incuts of the Government, to do
everything that can be done con
sistently with reason and an enlight
ened policy to reduce luxation and
remove the burdens under which
our people now groan. To this
upon the discharge
tions, I have had r
of Executive fuuc-
no time to examine
necessity that we develop, to the high
est extent, the minds of our sons and
daughters. We have vast physical re
sources, probably unsurpassed by any
State in the Union, but they can nev
er he fully developed until we have incut of the pre.-'ent indebtedness of the
first developed the meutal resources of j State.

ons, and to administer the affairs of

princip les of the strictest -conmny,
not expending a single dollar un
less it is actually necessary to do
s<*. In this matter I trust and be-
live I shall have the hearty co*op-
peration of the General Assembly,
and that you will so shape your leg
islation as to satisfy the people of
the State that the government is in
the Inin Is of those who have regard
for their interest, and who are de
termined to remove from than
every burden which is not absolut
ely necessary to be lmrne. And in
this connection, I beg to stale in
of the Executi ve, Lcg-
udicul Departments of
the Government to take a firm and de
cided stand in favor of law and order
and to punish crime wherever it may
be legally shown to exist, no matter
whether the perpetrator may be high
or low, rich or poor. To this end, the
General Assembly should enact such
laws, if there be any defect in our pres
ent system, as are necessary to give
the courts the full power over subject,
and the couits and the juries should
take hold of this matter with decision
and energy, and teach criminals that
the law cannot be violated with impu
nity. And it will be a source of pride
and pleasure to me, while exercising
the Executive functions of the govern
ment, to aid in every possible manner
in the execution of the laws, both civil
aud criminal. When a court and jury
have investigated a casecal’ny and dis
passionately, and the law has been ad
ministered impartially, the c-ase wifi
have to lie an extreme one, having
some features of mitigation that abso
lutely eaJ fir executive action, lieforc
hall interfere and arrest the execu
tion of the criminal laws. The safety,
peace and prosperity of all depend up
on the prompt and vigorous execution
of the criminal laws in the present de
ranged condition of our society. In
this matter, I shall carefully cooperate
with the other departments of the gov
ernment in all r-icasures intended to
promote the public good, and to re
store confidence and quite; and l re-
peetlully solicit the aid of all good
citizens in every portion of the State,
without regard to party affinities, race
or color, in support of the government
in this important work. Lit us, hv
our conduct, show to the world that wc
arc still capable of self-government,
and that there is virtue, intelligence,
and integrity enough among our peo
ple, to secure all the ends for which
government is instituted and maintain
ed. If we will take this course, we
will relieve much of the apprehension
which exists nt the present day, and
will do much to restore confidence am
ong our people, and secure immigra
tion, the influx of capital, and the gen
eral development of the resources of
the State, and will thereby remove all
possible pretext for Federal interfer
ence of any character in our local af
fairs.
POPULAR EDUCATION.
The General Assembly at its last
session enacted a law providing for
public schools in this State, which, in
the main, meets ray hearty co-opera
tion. The act, as is the case in the
inauguration of every new system,
probably has some defects which a
year’s reflection aud practice may have
suggested to those who arc now entrus
ted with the responsible duty of repre
senting the people. But I trust a sys
tem of popular education may meet
with general favor, and commend it
self to all. It is very important that
we give our people the advantage of a
lberal education in all cases where we
have the means to do so, and that we
should place within the reach of ever}*
citizen the means of acquiring the ru
diments of a common English educa
tion. Our republican institutions est
upon the virtue and intelligence of the
people, and it seems to me to he a
patriotic duty to encourage the general
diffusion of knowledge by every means
within our power.
In every country where a wise sys
tem of popular education has been
adopted, the results have becu such os
to demonstrate the wiidom of the jioli-
cy. Take, as an illustration, the King
dom of Prussia, which was overrun
and trampled under foot by Napoleon
the Great. That then small, second
grate power, after the storm of revol
ution had swept over Europe, adopted
the most liberal and extensive system
of popular education of any other (low
er upon that continent The educa
tion of the children of Prussia was
made compulsory. Parents were not
jiennitted to bring uptheir children in
ignorance. In France, where the arts and
sciences have been encouraged, anil the
higher hrauchesof education have been
carried to an extent scarcely equalled by
any other country, popular education
has been greatly neglected, and the re
sult has been that in a little over half
a century the dejected and down trod
den kingdom of Prusia has risen to the
magnitude of a first class power, aud
has humbled the mighty Empire or
France at her feet. It is not neces
sary for me to consume time by citiug
In and Greek, and other studies con
nected with the old college curriculum,
are taught. Under our present sys
tem, we need not only educated law
yers, doctors, and divines, but we need
educated farmers, mechanics, ' and
chemists, and educated men in every
department of life, and we need ap in
stitution in our own State, where tbe
young men of Georgia can be prepared
for these various departments. In
other words, we need a university
where those who are studying for the
laws or for the ministry, maybe taught
Latan and Greek and all the branches
necessary to accomplish them in the
pursuit which they have chosen. But
connected with this we need a school
of medicine where a young man desir
ing, after he has graduated in college,
to make the practice of medicine his
vocation, can completely prepare him
self for that field of usefulness. This
might be connected with the Univer
sityor one or more of our present medi
cal colleges. We already have »law
school connected witli the University.
We need
also a department wherA civil
engmeenng can be tau&ht tS greater
be able to
advantage than we arc now
teach it. We need a department where
applied chemistry and applied mathe
matics can be taught as fully as in any
other institution, so that a young man
who desires to make himself a practical
chemist, can get his education at home,
or, if he desires to make himself a mas
ter mechanic, he can he educated for
that department; or, if he desires o
become an architect, he can be accom
plished for that department; and so
with every useful branch of knowledge.
In this way, the State of Georgia would
lie able to educate all her sons at home,
and to draw within her liosom, to re
ceive a liberal education, hundreds and
even thousands of the youth of other
Southern States. The endowment for
this purpose should lie a liberal one,
which might well he made by Issuing
bonds of the State haveing fitty or an
hundred years to run, payable to the
University, the interest only to be paid
annually, and the amount should he
large enough to endow every professor
ship necessary to make the University
such an one as Georgia might well be
proud of.
In connection with this, a system
I cannot too strongly impress upon you
the convictions of my own mind as to
the importance of maintaining the pub
lic faith inviolate. No State in the
Union has maintained a higher or more
unsullied character for integrity and
the faithful performance of her obliga
tions in connection with all financial
matters than our own beloved Georgia
And what may be the burdens to
which we are now subject, and wheth
er wisely or unwisely incurred, we
should meet them with that spirit of
integrity and honor which has always
characterized the jieople of Georgia,
and their representatives who have
been our predecessors, and which will,
I trust, always continue to be a sub
ject of just pride. Whatever may be
our misfortunes, or our depressed con
dition, let it never he said that the
State of Georgia has violated her
plighted faith or failed to regard as sa
cred and meet promptly all her legal
and moral obligations.
In concluding this communication,
I desire again to urge upon you the
importance of moderation, wise cau
tion, and harmony in all our official
action ; and sincerely invoke the bles
sing of Almighty God upon our belov
ed State. Benjamin Conley,
Governor.

of moss halls orothenvise, which would
afford board to the students at the
University at the lowest possible rate,
and in all the practical departments of
the University, not taught in the other
colleges of the State, tuition should be
made free so as to enable the sons of
the poorest men in the State, who have
intellect and capacity, to enjoy all the
advantages necessary to fit them for a
high degree of usefulness. Under our
old system, the advantages of a colle
giate and even a liberal education,
were confined almost exclusively to the
sons of the wealthy. Many of the sons
of the poorer class are every way their
equal in jioint of intellect aud moral
worth, and there is no just reason why
they should be excluded from these
important advantages. It therefore
becomes the duty of the State to see to
it that those who are bright, intelli
gent, promising boys, who would make
men of future usefulness, have the ad
vantages of a liberal education at the
public expense. Their course in after
life would soon demonstrate that the
money was well expended, and it
would be paid br ok to the State in the
developement of her resources and the
advancement of her interest, with
hundred fold added.
In my judgment, there is no possible
way in which half a million, or even a
million of dollars could he invested,
which would redouud so much to the
future glory, grandeur and greatness
of our noble old State. I especially
commend this matter to the earnest
and serious consideration of this Gen
end Assembly.
In recommending the endowment of
the State University, I intend nothing
unfriendly to the denominational col
leges. They have done much to cle-
:ite the standard of education in Geor
gia, aud have been, and still are insti
tutions of which not only the denomi
nations to which they belong, but the
hole people of the State may be justly
proud. I would say, therefore, to our
jieople, patronize them much more lib
erally than heretofore. Let them go
forward in their career of usefulness.
But when they have turned out
young man as a graduate who desires to
enter upon any profession or calling
for which his education there has not
fully fitted him, let the University of
our own State be open to him that he
may go there an 1 complete his educa
tion. In this manner the whole sys
tem may be harmonized and all of our
colleges work together with a good un-
dearstandiug, each aiding the other in
its noble work.

If the Legislature should thiujz prop-
■ to endow the University liberally in
the manner proposed, it would then, in
t, he go
my judgment, be good policy to turn
over to the State Agricultural Society
the land scrip which has been gener
ously donated by the Congress of the
it said So-
United States, and to perm:
of the St
of
ciety, as the trustee of the State, to en
dow an Agricultural College at Mill-
edgc\-ille, ivith a branch at Dalilonega,
where all that pertains to a practical
agricultural education may lie obtained
by the youth of our State. In this
manner all conflict upon this question
will he reconciled, and all conflicting
interests served in a manner that would
tend to the future growth and prosper
ity of the State.
Before dismissing this subject,
Avould further remark that justice de
mands an endowment of the Atlanta
University for the colored population
of our State, which will be sufficient to
provide for all their wants at their
present stage of advancement. By
making reasonable provision for them
aud building up their college in this
State, we forever settle the vexed ques
tion, which would become a very trou
blesome one, if tliev should seek ad
mittance into the University of the
State, and carry out tbe good under
standing Avliich has already been in
augurated between the two races—that
not only their schools, but their colleges,
are to be kept perpetually s.paretc and
distiuct from each other.
