AN ACT
To enable the Justices of the Inferior Court of the
several counties in the State of Georgia to raise a
fund sufficient to discharge the indebtedness of the
several counties, and for other purposes. J
Whereas, by reason of the repudiation of a large
portion of the State debt, and the unavaUability of tbe
Confederate notes ; in which two classes of indebted
ness, the assets of the several bounties are chiefly rep
resented, the said counties will therefore be without
funds until new taxes can be coUected, for remedy
thereof.
1st. Be it enacted, die., That from and after the pas
sage of this Act, the Justices of the Inferior Court of
any county may authorize the Treasurer to issue bonds
of said county in such sums as may be deemed advisa
ble, payable at a period not longer than three years
from the date thereof, bearing seven per cent, interest,
payable semi-annuaUy.
2d. That said bonds may be sold at such rate as may
be offered by the highest bidders after advertising the
same for thirty days, in some newspaper published at
the county seat, aud when there is no newspaper so
published, then such advertisement shaU be made in
the newspaper published nearest thereto.
3d. That the amount of bonds so issued shall be
more than sufficient to realize the nett amount which
may be required to pay off the existing indebtedness,
and the current expenses of the county so issuing
said bonds for the year4 866, according to the estimate
of the county Treasury when made under the provi
sions of Section 527, clause 7, of the code of Georgia.
4th. That the Justices of the Inferior Court of auy
county may authorize the county Treasury to receive
from any tax payer such sum of money in advance of
taxes as such tax payer may be willing to pay, and is
sue therefor the script of the county, payable to bearer
with such rate of interest as may be fixed by the Jus
tices of the Inferior Court of said county, such script
to be redeemable in taxes, and to be transferable by
delivery.
6th. That these advances shall be received until the
bidding of the bonds shaU have expired or for such
longer period as the Justices of the Inferior Court
may deem advisable, and the bonds authorized to be
issued by the first section of this Act shall only be
issued for such sums as may be necessary to discharge
the existing Indebtedness and pay off the current ex
penses after ascertaining the amount reaUzed from
the issuance of script under he provisions of the 4th
seepon of this Act, ~ -_i
6th. Be. it further enacted. &c., That in estimating
the existing indebtedness of the counties accepting
the benefits of this act, the indebtedness shall be set
tled on equitable principles, having regard to the
value of the consideration upon which such indebted
ness may have been created, and not to the nominal
amount of the same.

Construing the sixth section as a limitation upon the
amount of the proposed bonded debt, and not as a rule
prescribed for the scaling of the existing debt, to gov
ern the Judiciary; which latter object is not expressed
in the title, I approve the act, 6th February, 1866.

Hon. Joseph E. Bsown—Dear Sir:—The under,

spectrally ask your opinion in writing as to the legis
lation which is proper, under existing circumstances,

ply, with privilege of publication, is respectfully so
licited.
We are very truly. See.,

MiLEEDOEvnAE, Feb. 14,1866.
Gentlemen—Your note asking my opinion as to the
'legislation which is proper under existing circum
stances relative to the freedmen of this State,” is now
before me, and as I entertain no opinions which I wish
to withhold from my fellow-citizens, who may feel an
interest in knowing my views on this or any other
subject of public interest, I reply without ‘hesitation.
The actions of wise men are always more or less in
fluenced by the circumstances by which they are sur
rounded. Tbe late war has caused a complete revolu
tion in our labor system in the Southern States; and
an entire change in the relations which the white and
black races occupy towards each other. Action which
would have been wise under our late system would be
very un vise now, and much which' would have been
unwise then would be wiae now.
The fact is undeniable that those who were oar
slaves prior to the war, are now free and, so far as
legal rights are concerned, are placed upon terms of
equality with us. This is a fact which is mortifying to
our people, but it 'is none the less true on that ac
count. The sooner it is realized to its fullest extent,
the better for us. I do not say the negroes are
the equals of the white race. God did not makethen
so, and man can never change the status which the
Creator assigned to them. They are not our equals
intellectually or socially, and unless madness rules the
hour, they will neyer be plaoed upon a basis of politi
cal equality with us. AU intelligent men, who are
acquainted with the Mce, know that they are not com-
petent to tbe task of self-government, mn.t. Ism, to
aid in governing a great nation of white people But
they are now placed upon terms oMegaf equality with
us. If we desired to do so, we would not be permitted
by the government of the United States to- enact And
enforce one code of penal laws fbr the white race* and
another for the negro race, or ta establish one law of
contracts to govern them, and another for our own
government. 8o far as the laws of rights and remedies
in our courts are concerned, the two races will have to
be placed upon terms of perfect equality. While the
negro should not be allowed to occupy the jury box,
or to exercise the elective franchise at the ballot box,
he must have the same right to sue and be sued, and
to testify in all the courts of the State, which the white
man has.
The credibiUty of the testimony in either case, to be
determined by the jury, under the rules of evidence
which govemcourts and juries on that subject. He must
be made subject to the same penal enactments, and
suffer theaame punishment for crime, which is inflicted
upon the white map. In a word, his rights of life,
liberty and property, including the full and free en
joyment of the proceeds of his labor, must be amply
secured to him by,law/with all the guarantees neces
sary to their protection. And in the administration* of
the law, courts and juries must, see to It, that equal
and impartial justice is meted out to him. When this
is done, I have no doubt we will be relieved from the
jurisdiction of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and our own
courts allowed to take cognizance of aU cases in which
the negro as weU as the white race is concerned. Un-
tU it is done no one can reasonably expect any such a
result.
1 think it unwise and injudicious for the Legislature
to pass any Freedman's Code, or any other law that
discriminates between the races, so far as rights and
remedies in our courts are concerned. A short statute
extending the provisions of the penal code
of this State so as to embrace aU persons
African descent, and extending to them
the civil rights in our courts enjoyed by
white persons, except the right to sit in the jury box,
together with the same rights of marriage as between
persons of their own color, and the same rights of in
heritance, with the same laws of guardianship, ap
prenticeship, &c., is all the legislation relative^ them
which is expedient or proper.
Hoping that the Legislature may be guided by Di
vine wisdom in arriving at a wise conclusion, and that
■uch action may be had as will aid in restoring us to
our proper position as one of the States of the Union,
and in promoting the future peace, prosperity and
happiness of both races, I am, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, Joseph E. Brown.

Tlie Columbus Disorders.
Quiet has, through the exertions of leading citizens
and the officers in command of the negro troops, been
restored in Columbns, and measures are being adopt
ed which it is hoped will result in the Temoval of the
negro garrison. Resolutions having been adopted by
the Legislature requesting the Governor to send a
commissioner to Washington to urge upon the Presi
dent the withdrawal of aU the negro troops from the
South, we trust that erelong our people will be relieved
of this source of irritation and danger.
MiUedgeville correspondent of the Macon Mes
senger alluding to the late unfortunate disturbance in
Columbus, says :
“ I understand that Capt. Howard of the 176th N. Y.
Vols., says that there was a mistake in sending these
troops to Columbus, that only a small nuinbor—about
twenty only, were intended for that point, not for a
garrison, but on a special mission. By some means
the order was misunderstood, and the unwarrantable
transactions of Monday last were the consequences.”
The foUowing from the Columbus Sun of the 17th
is the latest information we have from that city in
reference to the matter *
RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE.
'From a most honorable and responsible gentleman,
we have learned something of the interview which
took place yesterday between the committee appointed
by Council and the Federal officers; Col. Bogart, the
Commandant of the District, was present. The offi
cers said they had no authority to withdraw the garri
son, but added that there was no probability that a
larger one would be ordered here, aud that the fewer
tbe difficulties, the shorter time would a force be sta
tioned in Columbus. They seemed to desire the ap
prehension of Messrs. Lindsay and Rutherford, in or
der that they might be carried to Macon, and there
await instructions from Gen. Brannan, who would
doubtless order a court martial to investigate the af
fair. They said court martials were courts of justice.
To this some members of the committee demurred,
stating that the people in this section believed they
could never get a lair sentence from one of those
courts, and, as the negro soldier shot* was off duty,
the case clearly belonged to the civU authorities, and
they believed Lindsay had the sense to keep himself
aloof from court martials, where one is considered
guilty until he is proved innocent. The officers be
sides wanted one or more other gentlemen bound over
for a civil trial, the case to be called up whenever they
choose. This conference with the officers, though
friendly, resulted in nothing. Col. Bogart remarked
that from accounts elsewhere he expected to find Col
umbus in turmoil and confusion, and that he would
be compelled to bring other troops here to protect
him sell to his office, and he was surprised to find
everything so quiet aud orderly.
“We understand the exaggerated report was carried
to Macon by several New York drummers, who were
so badly scared they hardly knew their own heads.
“After the officers had retired, the committee re
quested the Hon. James Johnson, who had spoken
warmly in favor of the withdrawal of the troops, to
represent the case to the President and the Secretai^ of
War, aq p ask in the name of the city that the negro sol
diers should be removed. He accepted the office, and as
he is shortly going to Washington on private business,
we hope he may be successful iu this mission. The
Governor stated to the committee that he had heard of
a report that he had asked for a garrison in Columbus.
Such a report he regarded as unworthy of denial. The
records oi the Executive Department would show that
he had used his best endeavors to have every shadow
ot military power—troops, Bureau and Treasury
Agents—removed from the State, and to have civil law
fuUy restored. He believed that he and his neighbors
could act justly by their former slaves, and that the
civil law was sufficiently powerful to protect every
man, both white and black, in the possession of every
legal right.
“We do not pretend to give language but the sub
stance of the report given us. The negro troops, it
seems, can only be removed by the President.”
Major Warner, who was shot while passing the bar
racks of the colored troops, has had his leg ampu~
tated about three and a half inches above the knee
joint, and at last accounts was doing well.
[From the Augusta Constitutionalist.]
“The Alleged Kidnapping of Negroei.
published Thursday morning an Associated
Press telegram, sent fl;6m New York to the press of
the country, to the effect that negroes were being kid
napped in Georgia, taken to Cuba and there sold into
slavery, and pronounced the statement to be a gratui
tous falsehood. The paragraph in question was origi
nated by the libeUous correspondent of the New York
Nation, in a letter written from Macon, Ga., for the
purpose of misrepresenting and defaming our people.
The following letter from General Tillson, in reference
to the report which we have already denounced to be
devoid of truth, proves the whole affair to be an un
warranted fabrication:
Bureau of R., F. and Abandoned Lands,
Qffice Act Ass’t Commies’nr State of G-a.,
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 16, 1866.
Editors of Constitutionalist, Augusta, Ga.:
Gentlemen—Attention has been called to an item in
your paper, which states that the slave trade between
Georgia and Cuba has been re-opened; that a large
number of freed people had passed down the Sa
vannah river, en route, and that one steamer had
taken a cargo direct to Cuba from this place. —
General Tillson authorizes, and requests you to con
tradict this statement, as careful investigation of
rumors of this kind shows" that there is no truth
in it. Only two or. three parties of freed people
have been sent down the river—one of these went on
tbe steamers t R. H. May and Union—neither of
which went to Cuba; the other parties all went to
plantations in Georgia, near the river, and this side of
Savannah.
