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.

Hon. Joseph E. Bsown—Dear Sir:—The under, signed, members of the Legislature of Georgia, re. spectrally ask your opinion in writing as to the legis lation which is proper, under existing circumstances, relative to the ft-eedmen of this State. An early re ply, with privilege of publication, is respectfully so licited. We are very truly. See., E. A. T. Bidlet, , F. A. Fbost, D. E. Bdtleb, John D. Stewart, Jesse A. Glenn. 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. Messrs. R. A. T. Ridley, F. A. Frost, H. R. Casey, D. E. Butler, John D. Stewart, Jesse A. Glenn. 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. RespectfuUy, your obedient servant, W. W.
