rUULIC DEBT.
It will bo soon by reference to the last message
of my predecessor, that the public debt at that
time was $1,679,875 <»0. (This sum exceeded
the true amount as has been since ascertained,
$1,000.) At the session of 1847, $375,000 00
were appropriate for tho completion of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad, and $22,222 22 for the
payment of the claim of Peter Trczevant—making
the entire public debt and the liabilities incurred
by the acts of 1817, $1,08(5,097 82 on tho 1st
day of January, 1818.
’The Ronds directed to bo issued for the com
pletion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and
for the payment of the claim of Peter Trczevant,
were prepared with as little delay as possible ; the
former were placed in the hands of tho Chief
Engineer, from time to time, to he applied to the
construction of the railway from Dalton to Chat
tanooga, and the latter paid over to the Agent of
Trczevant in discharge of his claim against the
Slate. In addition to the Ronds referred to, be
fore t lie close of tho last session of the General
Assembly, it was found necessary to make provi
sion for the discharge of sundry obligations, en
tered into by Gov. Crawford and tho late Chief
Engineer of tho Western and Atlantic Railroad,
(Mr. Garnett,) with certain Ranks and individu
als, seemed by the hypothecation of the State’s 6
per cent. Bonds,amounting to the aggregate sum
of $183,500 00. This class of bonds was made
to draw interest at tho rate of 7 per cent, per an
num. From the neat stylo in which they were
gotten up, the facilities extended to the holders in
collecting the interest, as-it falls due, at conveni
ent commercial points, an additional value was
imparted to those securities, that enabled me to
effect a satisfactory arrangement with this class
of tho public creditors, by the substitution of the
new issue of 7 per cent, for the hypothecated
bonds of an equal amount, and also lo redeem
the obligations of tho late Governor and Chief
Engineer, although, in a lew instances, past due.
In consummating tliis arrangement, it is grati
fying to state, that no additional burden was im
posed upon the Treasury, except the small ex
pense incurred in preparing the bonds, conducting
the negotiations, and tho difference between the
rate of interest of the bonds hypothecated and the
issue substituted under the act of 1847. Under
nil act, passed nt the last session, for the relief of
the Central Rank, bonds to the amount of $225,-
000 were issued in 1848, and $237,000 in the
present year, to meet the accruing liabilities fall
ing due in the same period.
At the close of tho fiscal year 1817, the bonded
debt of the Rank wan $500,452 80—it is now re
ported to me by tho Cashier, to he $ 117,000. Tho
$500,452 80 were drawing 8 per cent, interest,
the present amount 7 per cent. By the sale of
of Bug- j dn> bonds issued in 1848 and 1849, there has been
j a saving to tin* Rank on the interest account of
j about $0,370. This lias been effected without the
! slightest shock lo the credit of the Rank, or the

ROBERT CARTER.
least one. roar 11 men t upon private rights. A reg
istry of till tilt? bonds issued under the authority
of the different acts passed in 1847. has been care
fully kept in this Department, which shews tho
number, date, when and where redeemable, the
rate of interest and when payable, and every ma
terial fact descriptive of the bonds and the coupons
thereto attached.
Measures wore taken, at an early day, to en
gage the services of a reliable House in London,
to whom remittances could ho made to meet tho
interest, as it falls due, on the foreign debt, which
is now reduced to Xl5,()0Q—the entire balance
of the sterling bonds held by Messrs. Reid, Irving
Co., amounting to XI5,130 6, with interest and
commissions, having been paid early in 1848. Tho
act of the 22d Dec. 1843 having provided a fund
for the discharge ol the Ileid, Irving &. Co. debt
only, and not a permanent sinking fund, the inqui
ry naturally arose, at the close of the last year,
as to what application should he made of a bal
ance, which, it was then ascertained, would he in
the Treasury, at the close of the present year.—
Relieving it to he my duty, not to permit a largo
sum of the puhl'o money to remain in the Treas
ury, idle and unproductive, and being sustained in
this view, by the Financial Committee appointed at
the close of the fiscal year 1818, I adopted tho
suggestion contained in their report, herewith
transmitted, and redeemed of the bonds issued
under the act of 1817 for the completion of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, the sum of $75,-
009.
As a part of the inducement for the selection
of these in preference to other securities, I might
mention that a most advantageous contract had
been made by the Railroad contractors with tho
Coalbrookdale Company, of Great Britain, for tho
delivery in Savannah of tho iron necessary to tho
completion of the railway. The iron, to the
value of $75,000, under the arrangement, was
pledged to tho State, making it her property at a
price below its market value at that time, as an
additional security. In any event tho interest of
the State was abundantly protected, and hy it the
completion of the Road will he accomplished at
an earlier day than could have been anticipated
without this assistance. Tho step is also deemed
defensible on the ground, that bunds at 7 percent,
interest, amounting to more than six hundred thou
sand dollars, for* the relief of the Central Bank
and the redemption of the hypothecated bonds al
ready referred to, had been thrown upon the mar
ket, and were preferred securities by purchasers—
and consequently expelled the six per cent. Rail
road bonds, or forced the holders to submit to a
reduction equivalent to the difference of interest
in the two securities. This inequality in tho value
of the bonds, produced by the different rates of in
terest, was embarrassing, and threatened serious
delay in the completion of the Road; it was, how
ever, in some measure, overcome by the policy
adopted, and the necessary funds to prosecute the
work of extension, were obtained.
Serious inconvenience results to the holders of
our State securities issued previous to the year
1848—from tho necessity imposed of having to
present them at the board of the Treasury, for the
coupons to be detached in the presence of tho
Treasurer, b loro payment is had, or to obtain the
signature ot that officer on the back of each cou
pon payable during his term of office. The sole
object of this requirement was to prevent frauds
upon the Vi* i>ury. It it could be relied on above
all other means lor ihuobject, it might be defended
with propriety: hut this is not bemved to be tho
c.ut*. lt is thought • nt the plan adopted, in the
issuing of h«»* 'I- d iriiigihe last and present years,
t :. r .) . I f .J , f. V ,.J
I dated, and a correct register of tho same kept, it
the most reliable mode of detecting any imposi
tion that may be attempted on the Treasury.
No good reason is seen why all of our bond
holders should not be placed on the same footing;
and certainly our early creditors are entitled to as
high consideration, and should have as many fa
cilities afforded them for collecting their interest,
as those of a later period. As an additional rea
son, it may well he considered whether the obtain
ing of a register of all the bonds issued by the
State, which is not now the case, would not justify
tho expense and labor of preparing new bonds,

THE FINANCES.
The Reports for the financial years 1848 and
1849, of the Treasurer and Comptroller General,
are herewith transmitted. By law it is made the
duty of the Treasurer, lo submit to the General
Assembly, estimates of the probable receipts and
expenditures of the Government for the next two
years.
This officer, from the very nature and character
of his duties, is made the authoritative medium by
which you, and the country, are informed, at the
opening of each session, of the amount of income
received from all sources, and the actual expendi
tures for tho two preceding years—and the esti
mated receipts and expenditures for the two suc
ceeding years, for your guidance and direction.—
My attention, on first entering upon the duties of
the Executive Office, was turned to the Treasurer’s
Report submitted to the Legislature of 1817, and
more especially, as the reliability of that Report
was virtually endorsed in tho late Governor's com
munication, by adopting it as tho basis of tho fi
nancial measures recommended by him to the
Legislature for adoption.
By comparing die estimates submitted to tho
General Assembly in 1847, of probable receipts
and expenditures for the political years 1848 and
1849, with actual receipts and expenditures for
the same period, the result will not fail to convince
you how little reliance is to be placed upon all es
timates of income and expenditure, made under
the present tax act. What is true of the two last
years, will be'found to be also true of the two pre
vious years.
This comparison is not invited with tho remot
est view of reflecting upon the capacity or integ
rity of the Officers in charge of the Treasury at
the periods referred to; but my object is higher—
it is to shew first, that the fault is not with the
officer at the head of the Treasury, but with our
whole system for collecting revenue; and that as
long as it is maintained, results are, and will con
tinue to be, exposed to great fluctuations: and,
secondly, to expose tho unreliable data, upon which
I felt it to be my duty to reject the tax act of tho
last session, among other reasons, because of its
apparent insufficiency to raise adequate income
to meet all charges upon tho Treasury.
It will ho seen that the sum of $67,354 52 was
the total available balance in the Treasury at the
lose of the present financial year; from this sum
are $25,172 21 of undrawn appropriations, $15,-
99 30 of the tax for the year 1850 collected, and
$9,625 60 dividends on “Education Fund,” to be
ledneted, leaving a surplus at the close of the fis
cal year just ended, of $17,53151. Of the un
drawn appropriations, it is probable that $3,000
will revert to the Treasury—making the actual
surplus about $20,534 50—subject to any future
appropriations the Legislature may make. It is
not believed that a higher rate of tax will bo re
quired if the present system he continued; nor do
I feel at liberty to recommend any reduction. This
must depend, in a great measure, upon the appro
priations, ordinary and extraordinary, of the pres-
nt session, and tho sum that may bo finally estab
lished by law as an annual sinkingt'imd—a meas
ure that should claim your early attention.
The public debt is now $1,828,472 22. Of this
in less than $23,000 are payable in January,
1858, and 10,000 in July, 1853. The balance of
our bonds are payable from 1863 to 1874—making
tlie entire public debt redeemable in twenty-live
years.
To provide a sinking lurid for this object in equal
annual installments would require loss than $74,-
000.
If the balance of the debt contracted for the ex-
ision of tho Western and Atlantic Railroad, of
$300,000, he deducted in your estimates, you I
should then make provision for one million and a
half i:i round numbers, and consequently reduce
your sinking fund to $60,000 per annum.
This amount, at least, should be provided by
law a permanent annual sinking fund; and in ad
dition it is recommended, that authority be given
to apply to the same object any surplus that may
he in the Treasury at the close of each fiscal
year.
By the adoption of tho policy suggested, the
public debt can bo fully discharged at or before
the respective periods, at which our bonds fall due,
by a process certain to sustain the par value of our
securities, and hy imposing on the people a burden
so light as to produce no derangement in business
transactions or discontent in the public mind.
In the foregoing statement, no estimate is made
for the ultimate liability of tho State on account of
the Central Rank—which, though not yet ascer
tained, it is believed will not fall short of 200,000
—and for tho payment of this amount, when it
becomes due, provision should now be made.
SYSTEM OF FINANCE.
Among tho interesting subjects that will claim
your attention during the present session, is the
adoption of a system of finance, equal in its bur
dens upon all interests, and, nt the same lime ade
quate to the wants the .State. I entertain, the
opinion that the true policy of the State in rais
ing revenue from its citizens, is never to demand
more than its necessities require, on the one
hand, or fail iu exacting an adequate sum for
that purpose, on the other. It lias long been a
source of regret and surprise that a system of fi
nance accomplishing this object has never been
adopted. In reviewing our logislationon the sub
ject, it will not fail to occur to you that interest
ing as it is, and involving ns it does, the essential
principles of good faith iu every monetary trans
action hy the Government, as well as the most del
icate of all relations between the represetative and
constituent, it has shared most sparingly ot the care
and deliberation of those to whom it has been here
tofore committed. Since the year 1804, but little
has been done in the way of improvement to the
system then adopted. Did this proceed from the
conviction resting on the public mind that the sys
tem was just and equal, or that it was reliable for
its certainty in bringing an adequate supply to the
Treasury ? Or did it originate from the moral
firmness, or industry to investigate, expose and re
form a system wrong in itself, because of some
imaginary dread of the constituent'? If the latter,
he assured that the representative has nothing to
tear from his constituents, if his measurusare just
evuul to all. The people are honest; they are
just, and expect ol you the adoption of measures
in strict unison with those noble principles which
will ever receivo their cordial greeting.
W hatever, therefore, may he the wants of the
State, created by proper legislation, having due
regard to economy, every right minded man will
cheerfully contribute his quota. lMace your tax
act upon the plain principles of equality ot burdens
and equality of benefits, and the people will sus
tain you. Viewing as an evil of no ordinary mag
nitude tho present system of specific taxation,
with odious discriminations in reference to proper
ty and persons, I feel it to bo an imperative duly,
most respectfully but earnestly to urge upon
you its repeal, und the adoption of un ad valorem
tax.
In offering some of the reasons that should in
duce the change, I would not bo understood as re
garding slightly others that will readily suggest
themselves to you as worthy of consideration-
much less will (he limit I have prescribed for my-
•elf, permit me to say all I could desire on this im-
pt run* quest'on; nine!* is, therefore, t onlil d to
the representatives chosen by the People, in guard
ing and protecting their interests in respect to this
as well as oilier subjects. Two considerations, in
the adoption of a system of finance, should be kept
prominently in view : first, tho certainty of obtain
ing the requisite amount to meet all the exigencies
of Government and no more—and, secondly, so to
equalize and discriminate, if you please, between
tho different objects of taxation as to make the
available or poductive property of tho State bear
its equal and just proportion of the burdens of
Government.
Upon the first branch of the subject, it may lie
safely assumed that the income from taxes, under
tho present system, cannot be estimated with cer
tainty, or an approach to it.
The truth of this position is fully shewn by ref-
renco to the amount of income received under
the presont tax act for the last several years. Al
though the amount received has increased annual
ly, it is apparent that causes, not remote or im
probable in their occurrence, may intervene vary
ing the income to an amount not anticipated, and
bringing in its train disasters highly prejudicial, if
not absolutely ruinous to State credit. If your ex
penditures are baaed upon any given amount of
income, under the present mode of levying and
collecting taxes, you must take the hazard of a
redundant Treasury, which is grossly unjust to
the People, or if possible, the still more perilous
hazard of failing to provide a sum adequate to meet
the commands upon the Treasuty. It may ho no
difficult matter to ascertain the amount required to
meet the current expenses of the State, but none
would have the hardihood to assert what ia to be
the income from specific taxation under the present
act, or any other based upon the same principle.
From the very nature of the property assessed, the
fluctuations in its value, the elasticity of con
science, or change of opinion, as often exhibited in
regard to the qualities of real estate, a degree of
uncertainty and doubt must ever attend the pres
ent mode of raising revenue. The evil of the pres
ent system does not atop here, but is felt by the
Slate in every business transaction: we have a
public debt, small it is true compared with our
abundant resources and known good faith of (lie
Slate, yet it is not to be disguised that capitalists
in seeking investments iu State securities, scruti
nize witii vigilant and searching minuteness, ev
ery feature of the financial system upon which the
State throws its securities into the market; and
if uncertainty iu providing adequate mean3to meet
all demands, is believed to be even a remote pos
sibility, to that extent at least, your credit is de
preciated aud the character of the Slate thus inju
riously affected. If, therefore, for no other rea
son than the remote possibility of the mortification
all would feel at the depreciation of State credit,
growing out of state of things here alluded to, it
seems to me timely and wise measures should be
adopted at this session to put an end to all such
fears.
If it be said that years of experience, under the
existing system, have demonstrated its adequacy
and reliability, and therefore no change is demand
ed, let me remind you that one of the prolific sour
ces of income, receipts from lands, which hitherto so
opportunely supplied all deficiencies, can no longer
he relied upon; that source is exhausted, and we
are now forced to fall back entirely upon taxes,
income from bank stock, and tho receipts of the
State Road—all of which are involved in too much
doubt, perhaps to form the basis of reliable esti
mates. But if nett income from the Railroad and
Bank Stock, should swell the amount of our re
ceipts a quarter or half a million annually, or any
other sum, it would but strengthen the argument
—as in that event, it would bo necessary only to
raiso by taxation a sum sufficient to supply the de-
I ciency from other sources.
But the subject remains to be considered in an
other aspect—one that must commend itself
to the head and heart of any candid mind. The
present system, it must be admitted, rests upon no
fixed principle of either specific or ad valorem taxa
tion ; it presents the singular enough aspect of
patchwork—of a capricious, ill-digested, and mise
rable expedient, that may answer its purpose for
the brief period of two years prescribed for its du
ration, and then bo thrown aside to give place to
something else of like duration, with no higher
claims to public confidence than that which prece
ded it.
Rut the objection is not confined to tho tempo-
| rary character of our tax laws, or consquent ne
cessity of biennial legislation upon the subject,
leaving the public minu agitated and in doubt, but
to the inherent difficulty, if not iinpossbility, of es
tablishing a durable and permanent system of fi
nance upon erroneous and unjust principles.
No system of taxation which does not bear
equally upon the property of the whole people,
can he just. Tue property of every citizen is
equally protected by law, and therefore, natural
justice would seem to demand that it should con-
libute equally to the support of tho Government.
The maxim that Equality is Equity, is peculiarly
true in raising an income for tho State; and though
a wise discrimination in somo instances in fuvor
of specific property, with a view of stimulating
production in which tho public at large may have
an interest equivalent to the surrender of its due
portion of taxes, may be tolerated as an excep
tion to the rule to bo continued fora season, yet
these exceptions do not impair the essential just
and endearing principle of ad valorem taxation.
Individual or political rights arc equal with the poor
and the rich; iu this re«|>ect there ran be no difference ;
and, therefore, if it poll-tux is iumosed at all, it should be
wst apart and applied lo objects oletl
have an equal interest, whatever ih
But os regards pro|»criy, this equal iiy is not found to ex*
i*t; and as Government is as much bound to protect and
defend the citizen's right of property, as it is liis personal
or political rights, so in the same ratio as the aggregate
property ot one citizen exceeds that of another, should
your system of finance exact contributions of ‘
over the other for the support of Government.
With these principles kept in view, it rema....
seen whether the present system of specific taxation falls
unequally upon different interests, and therefore unjust
ly, and whether the ad valorem system would remedy
the evils now supposed to exist. In reference to the grow
and palpable inequality of the present tax law. it ia so
universally understood and acknowledged, that it might
be regarded as a useless waste uf time to enter into any
detailed statement on the subject. If the objects of tax
ation lie considered in reference to Agriculture, “
raerce or Manufactures, the inequality is striking.
The classification of lands operates unjustly. Lands
of equal value, situated in different sections of the State,
aud in some instances in the same county, are subject
to a different rate of taxation: nor is it believed that any
classification of real estate can be made that will reme
dy Inis defect.
The same remark is true of slaves, on all of whom ia
imposed a specific tax irrespective of their true value—
making the tax on a slave worth one hundred dollar*
the same as iqion one w orth a thousand. Not only does
this inequality exist iu regard to the agricultural in us rest
but wlieu it is contrasted with the commercial, we are
again astonished at an inequality as impolitic in princi
ple, as unwarrantable in its discrimination. IfCommerc*
is injurious to the State, strike at it boldly; but if it ia
essential lo the well being of the people, conducive to
xble in its aims and object, ab*
discriminations against it. Instanoe*

sufficient has been said, it is hoped, to insure your pa

myself to doubt. The benefits resulting fnnn the aub-
stitution of ilie ad valorem principle over the specific,
would be to invigorate and stimulate every branch of
productive industry; to give quiet and exmfidenoe to the
different interests by equalizing the burdens of Govern
ment ; to secure to your Treasury, at all times and un
der all circumstances, adequate means to meet all the
exigencies of the State; to diminish the taxes by raising
no more money than is needed, relieving the poor by
throwing the burden of taxation upon the property of the

Can it be believed that the people, ao deeply interacted
in this measure, will not give it their warm Jtnd dbidial

their intelligence, and to doubt their devotion to the best
interests of the 8tate; such an opinion others may r~

This work being finished, tho duty will devtflve upon
you of enacting such laws, constituting an ornanued
and authoritative system, for its government, which thi3
new state ol things may, in your judgment, require.—
Heretofore, it has been the policy of Georgia to make
the Executive the head and responsible functionary to
the people, for the management pf'your Asylums, your
Penitentiary, and lately you» Public Works; The ac
cumulation of labor, mental and physical, to my nothing

ality in proportion as you reduce the number with whom
responsibility is to be divided; Amohg the objections to

want of unity of action—the total absence of that spirit-
from the division of responsibility.
Whether it is safe and proper to trust so great an in
terest in the hands of one man, it does not become me to
say. It is to be expected thalyour attention will be di
rected to the subject, with the nope thpt it Vfill undergo
a thorough investigation, and such change be mhde for
its government, as will best advance lie interests. Con
nected with the adjustment of a system fbr the govern
ment of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, may he
considered the propriety of detailing a portion of the
convicts, and placing them at Atlanta, or souk conven
ient and suitable point on the Road, for the purpose of
by law for the construction, at the point selected, of
suitable buildings for workshops and cells for confine
ment. While it is conceded that the adoption of the
scheme suggested would involve a consUerable expend
iture, it is believed, if it be the policy of the State to work
convict labor on its own account, a move judicious and
E rofitable application of it could not be made. Having
riefly alluded to some of the considerations deserving
your notice in reference to the government of the Road,
there remain to be presented others of equal, I ‘
er, magnitude. It was believed to be a duty
two^
creasing the public burdens, or creating the necessity
for increased taxation. The act of 1847, appropriating
three hundred and seventy-five thousand doUaka.of the
bonds of the State, for the completion of the extension
from Dalton to the terminus in Tennessee, contains an
express provision that the net incomfe. after extinguishing
all existing liens on the Rued, which amounted to the
sum of one hundred and thirty thousand dollais, should
be applied to the payment oi said debt Believing then,
a-* now, if by loaning the credit of the Stale, in the form
of its securities payable at a future day, the'completion
of tho Road could be accomplished, that the increased
receipts thereby recuted, would not only nlirr. tho
