Ilis ac customed and anticipated reward is not now fo be reaped in his fields content with his limite ly submissive to the produced it, he should seek to alleviate the deficiency of the present and provide an abundance for tbe future, by summoning to his aid frugality and forecast. The exer cise of tlicso virtues, when united to indus try,. cannot fail to awaken bis gratitude, when lie feels that the wants of the mo ment are softened or supplied by the boun ties of the past. Who hits ever repined over a full gtan- i ary? Mas not a crowded cotton-house now i lost more than half of its clmrm? Ccrtaiu- I ly experience has painfully demonstrated j that the latter is and has ever been an in- | adequate substitute for the former. | In view of the depressed condition of the • agriculture of the State, I respectfully suh- : rnit to your consideration the propriety and ! necessity of adopting some plan which will ! give the promise of plenty in the laud. The first step will doubtless he to restore fer tility to tht! fields and procure grains and grasses adapted to the climate Every ex periment faithfully and fairly made, will re quire improved implements of husbandry ; and, if reliable as a guide for the future, a closeness and accuracy of observation which shall mark its progress and end. For this purpose I earnestly recommend tlmt an ap propriation of a limited stun he mutually cx- Stnte, and equalizing in mmc' measure the burthens' imposed, hy extending the listen taxable objects. Under the head of specific taxation Hbout one half of the required te venue will be raised, whilst the other hnlf will he produced according to the plan of valuation. Roth plans entbrnco about an equal number of tuxahle objects. It is therefore proposed tlmt the rate of taxation shall bo fixed on all of the enumerated ob jects mentioned in tbe Treasurer’s report, with the exception of reul estate and its improvements, which shall be valued by the oath of the freeholder, and tlmt the digest of the sevcrnl receivers shall he returned on the first of July, annually to the Comptroll er General, who shall be required to assess a ■ate not exceeding a fourth of one per cent, ui the valuation of such real estate mid its improvements, so ns to raise a given amount; and notify the several collectors oftlint rate, who shall be required to collect accordingly. Certainty in amount may, hy the plan proposed, bo always realized, so that the go- . eminent inuy be placed beyond contingency ,f wnut, to which it lias been exposed by the fluctuating amount of tuxes. The frec- iiold-iutercsl is required to supply u contin gent deficiency; yet even that is restricted mid limited tou rate less than any other of the entire list of taxable objects. Its con servative character over excessive appropri ations may be presumed, because the free hold-interest is at all times fully represent- ,-d, and would he careful to check extrava gance. It will be seen Mint a reduction of sixteen per cent, of the present fixed rates on sever al important objects is ptoposed, and that this inuy lie safely made without public de triment il the integiity of the scheme he pre served. Whether the proposed system l>e adopted or the present one retained, 1 respectfully suggest the propriety of requiring every per son fully to perform his duty in this regnr I. Representations have been made that there have been evasions of the existing law, in making full returns of taxuble property. The remedy for this default is to he found in a legal enquiry accompanied by un appropri ale penalty. The subject of changing by a reduction of the rate of interest in the State is rospcctful- | ly suggested for your consideintion. A dis- | cession us to tbe abstract right to puss us- I ury laws may be waived, by considering the fact that in this age Christian tuitions have I concurred in their propriety or necessity, i mid their best defence inuy he found in the arguments of the heart, which, if less clear, : are quite as cogent us those of the head. Money, like every other marketable arti- | cle, is relative in its value, und influenced | hy its scarcity or abundance. The large | amount of money which icccutly flowed into I the Treasury arising from investments in the i reverted lands of the State, indicates a sur- j plus beyond the wuuts of the debtor class of the community. The large sums on iu- j dividual deposite in several hanks of tjie ' Stute disclose the fact that safe or satisfuc- | lory investments cannot ho made hy capi talists. As a consequence of this excess of hold These evil*, perhaps, are Hot now greater ihnn might have been expected from the in herent and radicul dc'fcct* of tho piescnt system. 1‘iobahly they have increased only with the numerical increase ofthe Judges being in the proportion of eleven to three. Moreover the tuilwoys which are already in operation ill the State pass through eight of the eleven judicial districts. Upon them Executions have been issued against the Bank of Hilledgerille and the Commercial Bunk of Macon for the Tax on their respec tive capital stock, and have been suspended in consequence of a reduction of their cut), itnls hy loss or otherwise. It is proper to stale that llicse banks have paid the Tux line on their stock which is actual and oper- lated oil. The question which was ptescut- arc product transported one third of the marketable ed to my mind when these executions were luctitnis ofthc State. The value of the ordered to he issued, was in relation tutho merchandise carried by them would swell , capacity ofthc stockholdci * lo reduce at the value of property to ut least six mil pleasure their capital stock. The corelmivo lions of doll.tis annually. This property should he under tho protection ol llte sun. uniform law in its transit Irom one point t another. We have mot cover bylheexten sion ofthe State railway to the YV cst, and b our improved facilities ot transportation an mat ket, invited the citizens of adjoining an other States to come into our midst und brin with them their productions. The guard right to increusc it could only exist |,v legal permission. It is believed tlmt the right , to reduce the capitals of Bunks Ims iipjicr- 1 1nined exclusively totlie Legislature, and has i not been conceded in any instance in grant- jingii charter. The converse of this propo- sition is not true, as authority is frequently given which permits un ineieasc of capital stock. In cases of loss of capital jt j, law uniformly administered should lie voucl. j equitable that the tax should not he collect- safed to both. With it this scheme of soct j ed. Like other perishable property the legal nl and commercial intercourse may he rn| | exemption should be extended to it. Asa idly advanced, and, without it, retarded It check upon the expansion and contraction distrust. Every interest, at home t of Banking capital, it is recommended flint abroad, pleads fur a controlling corrective t a law be passed which will pcimiuicntly litn- the discordant and conflicting decisions the inferior j idicatories. In adjusting th details of iliu Court, prudence would sng gest tlmt the defects of the old system nr only to be remedied. Delay nntl heavy ex peases are to be avoided. Like other fre institutions, its existence und strength sltotil repose in public confidence. It must be confessed that the present sys tern of free schools has not diffused the hies sings that were anticipated hy its benevolcn and patriotic projectors. Its failure may In mainly ascribed to the irregular aid derivei- from the State, tho unfortunate udministrn lion of its funds and a general popular in difference to the subject. The Four School Fund amounting once to half a million o dollars, is now ieduced to two thousand six hundred and thirty shares ofthe capital stocl- of the Banks of the State of Georgia and Augusta. Until the lust session of the Le gislature it formed a part of the capital o the Central Bank, and during two years o this period no dividend was declared und dis tributed for educational purposes. More over it is now stated as an illustration o. general indifference on litis subject, that du ring llte (tast year, only fifty-three of the ninety-three counties of the State made ap plications nt the Treasury for their allot ments of the Poor School Fund, mid when too the penalty for default wus known to he an absolute forfeiture of claim. The numerous acts of the Legislature, which have been as only so many innovations upon the system, have related principally to the administration of the funds in the hands it the citpitul stock of each Bank t» the amount which shttll he returned as liable to | taxation. This restiiction nitty not interfere i with the rights secured under existing cltar- i teis, as it will present the alternative prop- osition either to pay the tax on the max imum of capital heretofore reported, or re duce their capital without the power of here after increasing it. Such Banks ns have been legally authorised to reduce their cap itals, of course arc excluded from the opera tion of the proposed law. The great increase of the inmates ofthc Lunatic Asylum imposes the necessity (fen- larging the comforts of the institution. The number, as reported by the Trustees, is six ty-three— a huge majority of whom are re cipients of the bounty secuied by nit act of the last Legislature to this indigent ttitil af flicted class of oitr population. That act re lieved the counties of heavy buithens created hy tin.- legal obligation of suppoiting their poor. This item of their expenses would be greatly increased, when it is considered that to the duly of providing food and rai ment for these indigouts, may he sttpetndded that of furnishing the curative means tothuse mentally afflicted. In respect to the expen ditures necessary to the bodily comforts of the insane poor, it would seem equitable that this charge should he home hy the counties from which each is sent, whilst the Itenling process ofthe mind should devolve its u gra”- tuity und a duty on the State. A moiety of the amount usually allowed as n support of each snne indigent person would be adequate to the maintenance of an insane pauper in of public officers, and have been frequently the Asylum—or ot least would in some tie- passed under the allegation of its actual or grec relieve the Treasury of this biirtlion, Iii Columbus on the 9th mstuiit, Julia Rebecca ilntifilileruf Allied F. end Maty Aim Brannon, at Un 1 U vcmth 7 iimnthft and 2 da>* The decemied pomt*s«cd a character nl more than ordinary lo»eliiie*».

WVcnn hut weep over this sad uffiiction—just twenty years old. in the enjoyment nf every comfort that a f .ml husband, no alL eii inate mother,sister and brothers could bestow, yet she was cnlled nwuy in the midst of all her huppinevs and blight prospects for the future. Let others remember, that I <1 it ion tlmt the receiver would erect machine ry for the muiiufacturc qf Iter iron ore.— Since tlmt period large expenditure* have been made on her rivers and roads—but it. ntary impulse, has been enhanced in value, : Individual capital Ims in some measure sup- I planted that of banking corporations, several of which have recently reduced their capitals. ; lit the proposed reduction, our position in reference to that of adjoining States und their ^ legislation is to be also considered. Any ex- j truordinary difference between our nttd their : standards of interest, might have the effect <>f diverting, in some degree, capital from one Stute to another ; though it is believed i ii regard to loans, the confidence reposed in : the borrower by the meritorious lender is the printury inducement, whilst the iismcr kooks to an extravagant per centum as cov ering the profits and perils of his contraband i contracts. Nor should an ancient rule he rashly innovated upon. In nil cases, when time and expel ience have imparted their gc- nnil influence, extreme counsels or extreme measures arc to he avoided. It is therefore recommended that the present rate of inter est ofthe Stair! he icduccd to seven pcrccnt- uin per annum, and that a fixed standard he let nined so that any conventional agree ment between the contracting parties may he legally excluded. Legislation in relation to contracts which may not lie obnoxious to a constitutional objection, should ho prospec tive. The efl'ect of u law such us is now proposed, oil existing conti acts which shull he hereafter enforced hy legal process, may he safely left to the Judiciury, when organ ized according to thu constitution uf the Stute. In relation to the establishment of a .Su preme Court for the correction ofthe eriors of the inferior judicatories, the legislation of Georgia bus been peculiar and it recon cilable. Tea years ago two amendments of the Constitution were finally passed hy supposed misapplication. As a remedy for these evils it is respect fully proposed for your consideration, that the system he changed so as lo infuse into it more of public cure hy combining with it public responsibility. This end it is thought may lie accomplished hy immediately distri buting the Poor School Fund among the sev eral comities upon u basis similar to the one hy which dividends are now declared—giv ing to the Grand Juries the approval nr dis approval of the direction and application ot’ the fund—holding each county liable for the principal amount received, and in case of loss or diminution of the some, from any cause whatsoever, the deficiency to be replaced by an extra tax levied hy order of the Inferior Court, on the representation of any Grand Jury, and in its delimit then to be collected hy a mandate ot the Superior Court of llte county. in making distrilaitjou according to the foregoing plan, it will be necessary to make provision tlmt as the shares ofthe Bank stock constituting tho Poor School Fund are in amounts ol one hundred dollnis each, fract ional sums inuy occur which may hcadvanc- w'hiclt, under the operation of the poor-laws should he sustained hy the counties, nccord- to the number of lunatics each may send to tho Asylum. Y'iewed only as a pecuniary question it would he more advantageous to the counties that their paupers were all in sane, as thereby an entire suspension ofthc beneficent laws for the protection tiiitl care of the poor would he produced. Whatever may he your conclusion us to this equitable claim—tlmt each county should provide at till times personal comforts for its poor—the obligation ol the State to minister to the diseased mind is now too imperative to he over looked or avoided. Tho usefulness of the institution will be promoted hy the completion of Hie unfinished building which was originally intended for the reception and care of male patients. As thu sahuies of its ullicursuic placed in th<* discietinn of the Trustees and Executive, il is iccomiiicmled that they, as in other cuses, be fixed by law, und increased in propoition to services ren dered. The incurring of debt hy States or individ uals may he accomplished when the object is pursued pcrseveringly. Its ieduction or ed from the Treasury without iucoiiv nicuce, payment is a more painful task, arising as an cquul amount in the undistributed shares i doubt less from the contrunent motives tnllii- of stock would necessarily he retained and I cueing the two transactions. Tl which, when soldwiththe accumulating divi dends, would soon reimburse the State. It is proper tlmt I state that this reinunut of public bounty under an act for the educa tion of the poor, passed by the last Legisla ture, was transferred from the Central Bank to the Treasury, where 1 hope it will remain untouched unless for the specific object to which it was ortginullv dedicated. Be the dividends huge or small, one desirable ob ject will he tit tniued, that of certainty in a fund reliable fur some amount. It will give the assurance that the plan of general edu cation, commended to our cure hy every po litical and social consideration, is not aban doned. The amount received front the luad during the last year und subject toilisti i- bution wus $2,2g5. The estimated amount of the current year will he $18 000.
