wbioh we publish this morning, is char
acterized by great simplicity and consid
erable brevity. The lateness of the hour
at which the document reached us last
evening will not admit of any criticism
at our hands. A portion of the message
appears a little ambiguous, and if there
be one fault greater than another in the
document, it is the sin of omission, not
commission. Evils of magnitude exist,
which must soonor or later be abolishe ,
but Gov. Johnson forbears suggesting any
means for their abatement.

prosperity upon which she is bound to
enter. The Governor speaks flatter
ingly of thef present condition of the
Western and Atlantio Railroad, and the
energy and fidelity of its agents. The
proposition of the Governor to take
the control of this great railroad artery
out of the hands of the Executive, and
have a Commissioner appointed to man
age it, who shall be elected by the peo
ple, we consider a good one. The sug
gestion is timely, and we trust will be
acted upon by the Legislature.
We ate sure our people will feel grati
fied at the Governor’s eloquent allusion
to that noble institution of learning,
the State University—the pride of Geor
gia. The appeal in behalf of the Uni
versity should find a response in the
heart of every well-wisher of our State,
and we shall wait with no little anxiety
to hear the action of the Legislature on
this matter.
The necessity for a change and modifi
cation in many of the old State laws is
pointed out. The Governor alludes m
emphatic style to the pemicions habit of
procrastination in administering justice
in the Circuit_Courts.
The Governor also strongly recom
mends the restoring and beautifying of
our State Capitol at Milledgeville, and
where there is so much need of im
provement no-doubt prompt action will
be taken to carry out this most laudable
suggestion.
By far the most important section "of
the message is the one advocating the
passage of the Constitutional Amendment
prohibiting involuntary servitude.
The orompt ratification of this amend
ment is now a nolens volens condition to

cheerfully complying with the desire of
Government to have this matter Lilly and

Books cannot give us mother-wit; bat though
it be the cunt of the hoar to.depreciate learn
ing, we cannot give ourselves too man/ ad
vantages. There are books on which the fata
of nations has turned. How many revolutions
have grown out of onr Bible—how many mar
tyrdoms, crusades, bloody wars—aad not less
commerce, arts, the planting of nations, and
public and private greatness. There are
books of dry chronicles that cannot be praised;
there are books upon books that are weariness;
there are worthless books that defraud us of
onr time. Only genuine books, written from
the life of the author, are tolerable. The
poorest poem is better than the best criticism
made npon it. The great day of the feast of life
is the awakening of the imagination. It is as
if one opened the doors of the day and revealed
new horizons. And this power of poetry is the
first lesson of literature.
