[Reported specially for the Savannah Dally Herald.]
Mb. Spejlkeb :
The biU reported by a majority of the Special Com-
inittee, though better thar^ no bill at ail, does not meet
tha demands of the times. I propose to offer s series
of resolutions at the close of these remarkn, and ask
ttiat they, with the bill, be referred to the Committee on
Finance, that a bill may be perfected embodying the
suggestions of both.
I rise, sir, an advocate of no common cause. Liber
ty was its foundation—heroism and patriotism have
consecrated it. I speak in' behalf of the soldiers and
widows and orphans of soldiers of the State of Geor
gia who are in absolute want. Georgia soldiers re
sponded promptly to the unanimous call of Georgia,
and by their deeds of self-sacrifice and devotion have
illustrated the brightest pages in Georgia history. We
owe them a debt of gratitude which we never can re-
pay; we owe the disabled soldier in absolute want im
mediate relief; we owe the widow of the deceased soi-
di** in absolute want sustenance; we owe the children
of both classes maintenance now aud the means of an
education when we are better able to appropriate
money for that purpose. Shall we in a spirit of cold-
hearted parsimony turn them away from our doors ?
Shell we say to these children who are holding up
their tiny hands in many portions of the State and
asking us for bread, in the language of a representa
tive of Texas mahy years ago. “Though your fathers
served the State in life, though he fell amid the ranks
of those men whose namea history shall delight to
•hronicle and nations to honor; though the credit and
honor of Georgia are concerned in taking care of your
childhood and watching over your youth, in providing
for your happiness and respectability, yet for all this
we will suffer you to grow up in uncultured wildness,
in baneful ignorance, perchance in the foeted atmos
phere of vioe, rather than make an appropriation to
enable you to live now and render yourselves capable
of occupying that respectable, nay, enviable position
in life hereafter to which you are in a peculiar degree
entitled by all the thrilling circumstances of your situ
ations."
All Georgia has left her of the late contest is a glo
rious history and an unsullied honor. This should
not be now disfigured by such ingratitude.
Tt is stated of Napoleon that on an occasion when an
officer whom he loved was wounded, and from the
narrowness of the defile in which the conflict rsged,
was in danger of being crushed to death by the ieet
of contending friends and foes, while the emperor
looked on with deep anxiety for his fate, a female, an
humble follower of the army, with a babe in one arm
pressed through the melee to the wounded man, and
passing her other arm around him, conveyed him to
a place of comparative safety near the emperor; but
just as she turned away from the object of her benevo
lent aud daring undertaking, a ball struck her in the
breast and she fell dead at the feet of Napoleon. The
emperor taking the motherless babe in his arms called
a grenadier, and with that felicity of conception and
gracefulness of expression that has immortalized him
in history and so endeared him to his soldiery said,
“Bear this child to the rear, guard it carefully, and
see that it is well attended, for henceforth it is the
child of the Empire.” If the genius of Georgia could
be personified here to-day representatives and speak
to you, her words would be ‘ Guard the children of
my illustrious dead and disabled soldiers carefully,
see that they are well attended, for henceforth they
are the children of the State."
It has always impressed me, sir, as one of the most
pleasing manifestations of human nature, that in all
ages and in all countries it has been customary to
oommemorste the deeds of illustrious men and illus
trious events; that painting, poetry and sculpture
have been brought into requisition to perpetuate the
msmory^f great achievements and keep alive in the
hearts of the young a veneration for the distinguished
dead, and a love of country. But few years will elapse
before marble cannot be found white enough on which
to inscribe Georgia's inperishable roll of honor. The
most exquisite touches of the painter cannot exagge
rate on glowing canvas the battle scenes through
which they have passed, and a greater than Themis-
todes will be required to recount the glories that clus
ter around the memories of those who surpassed be
cause they so often repeated the valor of Greeks at Ma
rathon. Shall we who knew them and associated with
them so intimately in life—who live among the dis
abled soldiers and the widows and orphans of the de
ceased soldiers, turn away the indigent with a cold-
hearted parsimony when they and their husbands and
fathers are such cherished objects for history ?
If I felt that a sentiment so ignoble animated my
breast to-day I would fear that the reproachful shades
of Cobb, Bartow, Bemmes and that long catalogue of
illustrious dead who baptized a cause that Georgia
then held dear with their blood would haunt me in
my dreams this night. They shall never be turned
away by my vote as long Georgia has means to distri
bute. I have hoard it suggested that this is an unpro-
pitious time to move in this matter, as we should
avoid anything to excite the jealousy of the North;
that they believe that our soldiers fought in an unjust
and an unholy war, and that defeat lost them any title
to support from the public. The United States sol
diers will be provided lor, and generations yet unborn
of the whole people of the United States Will contri
bute to the bounty. The Georgia soldier and his rep
resentatives who are in absolute want have no place to
look except to then- dtute who called him into tue held;
and I do not believe that there is a ma^n mimoub
soldier of tho United States army, nor a philanthro
pist on earth, who, if he could fill your seats to-day,
with all his prejudices upon nun um wuulu support
this bill.
I sometimes imagine that I see a gleam of hope in
the future of our country. It is when the soldiers of
the north shall head a party at the north and lead it
ou to victory ; they will then be prepared by reason of
having shared common dangers, common sufferings
and common hardships—Which begets a common
sympathy among brave men though once enemies—
offer the hand of fellowship to the soldiers of the South
and when tendered there may be a snaking oi nanus
by those battle browned veterans on both sides over
the graves of their fallen comrades, and under the
banner of a grand national reunion* pabtt. They wdi
take this Government from the hands of radicals and
factionists hi both sections and carry it onward to
higher and wider circles of glory and greatness. Mr.
Bussell then proceeded to argue that the whole ques
tion was purely and simply a matter of finance ; that
if the State could not r&se the money tne argmucm
was exhausted. He knew of but three ways to raise
tne money already called for by the State, which would
amount to near two millions of dollars, before the ses
sion closed without any appropriation for the purposes
indicated by this bill.
First, by taxation; se&md, by loans ; third, by sell
ing the property of the State. He showed conclusive
ly by a formidable'array of statistics that taxation or
loans at this time was ruinous policy for the State, and
that an amount equal to the net income of the State
Road under public supervision for twenty years,
could be made in a few months by having it for that
time. He advocated the sale of the road as the best
policy both to met the demands of the country at this
time, as well as on principles of public policy for all
time.
He waa a State aid man and believed the State had
done a noble work in developing a lovely section of
country. But he thought that a State as a general rule
should not manage railroads or become banker; that
when a road is completed it should be sold out, and in
ordinary times the mofley applied to other public
enterprises, and in such times as the present should be
so applied as to relieve the people of taxation until
they begin to recover their faded fortunes; that con
solidating power in the hands of the executive was bad
policy. He referred not to the present nor the past;
but in republics alone demagogues could flourish, and
patronage was their stepping-stone, to power. Large
public works Uke the State road, on which there were at
least seven hundred employees, and each employer
had their numerous friends, l/iigbt be used in the
future by party cliques and combinations to perpetuate
bad men in office and corrupt the people. Jefterson s
idea of a simple government and not a magnificent one
was the true one; that same natural historian had
stated that but two classes of animals could attain the
height of the Egyptian pyramids—the eagle and the
serpent. So in the politics; but two classes of men
can attain the summit of political greatness—the dema
gogue and the statesman. The demagogue appro
priately compared to the serpent contorting its flexible
body into on hundred shapes in winding its slimy way
through the crevices and cavities oi the monu
ment until Its summit is attained, when hanging from
its lofty height it hisses at nobler men below. The
statesman compared to the eagle rising on expanded
wing and with a swoop of its broad pinions proudiy
perching there.
Take from the demagogue patronage and you take
away his power. Let the State follow its legitimate
business of making wise laws and leave its citizens to
plant, bank and run railroads. Private enterprise is
more sagacious and economical than public supervi
sion. Sough he would aid in developing the State,
when the particular work is done he would let indi
viduals buy it and manage it. By selling the State
Road at this time ten or twelve million of dollars could
be obtained for the treasury; not only so,but the Road
itself would be a subject of taxation to the. State for
all time. It never was estimated at more than seven
millions in gold before the war and probably will not
sell for more in gold hereafter. The National curren
cy though far below the specie bsoxs would answer the
State as well to pay its debts now as gold, because, if
the debt is delayed it must be paid in gold. We are
already called upon to raise two millions of dollars
this session to pay the part of the debt due and inter
est, and to repair the State load and for current ex
penses.
If we send our agent into the market in the present
unsettled state of the country, we will sell our bonds
at about seventy-live cents In the dollar In National
currency. Theee bonds would bear a rate of interest
much greater than necessary when the credit of the
State is restored and could not be retued sooner than
tn average of twenty year*. The State owed two and
ahalf million of dollars besides the two million reci
ted; this she could bow pay and save the difference
"between National currency and gold. These financial
operations would save nearly as much for the State in
a few months as the next twenty years’ profits of the
road will amount to in its present dilapidated condi
tion. If sold the people could be entirely relieved of
taxation for two or three years except for county pur
poses and a bountiful fond set asidefor the objects con
templated in ths bin. He advocated an educational fund
reserved for the poor of the State, which might be ap
plied hereafter to a system of free schools.
But if the State road is not sold no good reason can
be produced for not leasing it tor twenty years, as
he had shown nearly the profits for that time In Its
present condition could be realized in a few months
by obtaining money aud paying the debts outside of
appropriations for the objects of tills bill.
Wo have not done justice to the argument of Mr.
R. on the financial policy, but indicated the outline.
In conclusion, he offered a set of resolution! which
he moved to refer with the bill before the Honse to
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1866-
the Finance Committee, objecting to the feature in
the bill which lelt It to the grand Juries to recom
mend a tax lor the purpose. He said that in most
of the counties no recommendation at all wetfld be
made, and aa the beneficiaries were morextumerous
in some counties than iu others, and atThe grand
juries did not call the soldier into the field, but (lie
whole State, that the Slate should see that all fared
alike.
IN GENERAL.

Van Winkle, although it is well known in England as
well aa the United States that since his fight with the
gallant Tom Sayers ,now deceased, it was his intention
to retire forever from the prize-ring; but from the
many boasting and gasconadings of the above and
others that they are able to whip him, he has been
induced to alter hie mind. He will fight the said Henry
Van Winkle tor any sum, from five hundred dollars or
upwards, at auy time or place that may be agreed
upon."
—United States Commissioner Osborn, of New York,
has pronounced a decision in which he declares that

volunteer infantry was then called upon to put the
negr oes down, and the latter attacked them violently
With bricks and other missies. The ringleader ot the

knock his brains out with a stone, when the eergeant
shot him dead. Two other negroes were wounded.
After a severe struggle all the prisoners were secured
aud order waa once more restored.
—The Washington correspondent of the Philadel
phia Ledger says: “The news from South Carolina has
caused both surprise aud pleasure. Her delegation to
Congress. I am told, will be backed vigorously by the
President, no matter whether they can take the oath
or not, aud so will the Representatives of the other
States, when their Legislatures rally to the call of the

A Warning.
The New York E . ..uing Post, originally one of the
most radical of the war and abolition organs, is evi
dently d.sgruutied uy the ultra protective tariff policy
of the New Euglaho ilegeucy iu Washington, and ut
ters a note of warning in the following;
"The leading republicans will make a fatal error if
they imagine tuat class legislation, uujust discrimina
tion iu favor of certain interests, mismanagement of
the currency and the debt, and above ail, u mistaken
and unsuccessful policy ou the great question of recon-
siruetiou will be eudured by the country, even at their
hands.”
Relief for Mra. Da-vis and Family.
We find in the Milledgeville papers of this week the
following appeal from Gov. Jenkins, representing the
uuiies oi that city. We cheerfully yield to the plan
proposed, and hope the ladies of Chatham county, and
indeed every county in the State, will forthwith or
ganize an association, and commeuce the good werk:
"The ladies of MUledgeviile and vicinity have
formed au association, having for its object the raising
of s fund for the purpose of securing to Mrs. Jefferson
Davie and her children a permanent provision.
“Tho plan proposed is, that each lady in Georgia,
willing to promote the object, pay to the Ordinary of
the county of her residence one dollar; that he be
requested to receive the same and forward the stun
total, with a list of the contributors, to John Jones,
£sq., treasurer ot the State, at MilledgeviUe, by ex
press or other sate conveyance, when, in hie opinion,
contributions from his county shall have ceased; and
that the aaaociatiou, so soon as they have reason to
believe that all collections made have been received by
Mr. Jones, with his assistance, take measures to place
the aggregate in tbs hands of Mrs. Davis.
“ u is not proposed to make auy exciting appeal
ou a subject, the mere mention of which will arouse
the lively interest of oar noble women. The plan is
simple, the agents soggesp’d reliable, and eaaiiy ac
cessible to the ladies.
”'lhe officers of the association respectfully re
quest, 1st, that such newspapers of the State, as ate
iriendly to the movement, give this card a few in
sertions, ami call attention to it editorially.
"2d. That ministers of the Gospel, severally, read
it once to their respective congregations.
“3d. That Seutaors and Representatives, lu this
General Assembly, make some effort to give informa
tion of this proceeding to the ladies of their coun
ties.
•• Prompt action by the ladles and by the parties
whose kind aid is Invoked above, is earnestly de
sired.
•• Tne ladles appoluted officers of the association,
have requested me to present their object and plan
ul operations in this Tone to the public. 1 do so with
greuL pleasure, believing that it U a simple and effi
cient plan, which will recommend itself to the ladies
or Georgia, who delight iu good works, without per
sonal notoriety. (.'has. J. Jenkins.”
There are gratifying signs, says the National Intelli
gencer of the 25th, ihat careful second thoughts' are
getting some foothold in Congress. The remarks of
Mr. Fessenden were on the whole in most praisewor
thy contrast with the violent utterances of many whose
zeal, if honestly entertained, very far outruns practical
wisdom and sagacity. We hope sincerely with Mr.
Feseenden, that the party in power may do what is
right "at the earliest possible day.” The excellent
concluding remark of Mr. Fessenden is reported aa
follows;
“In conclusion, Mr. Fessenden said he desired a full
