meration of the different interests which the
State has, in other respects, dependent upon the
success of this important enterprise. Its impor
tance to the State will be readily comprehended
bv every intelligent citizen. I feel it niy duty,
however, to iulorm the General AssemWy, that
the freights paid to the State Hoad by this estab
lishment, and by other persons upon its produc
tions amount to about £25,000 per annum ; which
sum will be lost to the State, annually, m case the
work is suspended; which will be considerably
more than the interest on the bonds above men
tioned, were they issued to the company, and the
interest paid by the State, instead of being paid
by the company. This, it seems to me, is not,
therefore, the ordinary case of an unsuccessful
person, or applying to the State for
assistance. It is a case in which the State has a
large interest at stake; and in which, not only
sufficient security, but ample compensation for
the accommodation asked, is offered to the State.
I submit the question to enlightened legislators,
whether justice and sonnd policy do not dictate
that the necessary relief be granted.
DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.
The Cotton Planter’s Association of this State
is making laudable efforts to establish direct trade
with the contihent of Europe. Howeil Cobb, Esq.,
of Houston county, who was appointed Commis
sioner, by the Association, to visit Europe, and
collect information upon this question, and to
communicate to the authorities there such infor
mation as might tend to stimulate them to action,
h&3 fftvorcd me with copies of his report, which I
herewith transmit to the General Assembly. At
the Fair, soon to be held in Macon, many articles
of European manufacture, which have been di
rectly imported, will be exhibited.
I would suggest to the General Assembly the
propriety of spending a day at this exhibition.
The presence of the legislative authority of Geor
gia on such an occasion, would give encourage
ment to the movement; and it is not to be doubt
ed that valuable information upon the subject of
direct trade might there be obtained.
I recommend the passage of a law similar to
one enacted by the last Legislature of the State of
Alabama, exempting from all State, county, or
corporation tax, all goods, wares and merchan
dize, imported directly from any foreign country
into this State, through any of the porta of
the Southern States of the Union.
STATE LIBRARY.
1 beg leave again to call the attention of the
Genera) Assembly, to the condition of our State
Library. The Library room, in the capitol, is en
tirely too small. Many valuable books and doc
uments are kept in the basement rooms, because
thefc is no place for them in the library. These
basement rooms are damp in wet weather, and the
books are constantly exposed to injury. A few
thousand dollars would erect a good tire-proof
building on the public grounds near the State
House, in which the library could be safely kept
. and increased.
ASYLUMS.
The respective reports of the Principals in
charge of the Lunatic Asylum, the Academy for
the Blind, and the Institution for the education of
the Deaf and Dumb, are herewith transmitted, as
far as received, which will give the General As
sembly all the information in my possession in
reference to the condition and management of
those important Institutions; the erection and
maintainance of whish constitute a monument to
the benevolence and charity of our people.
Penitentiary.
Much sickness has prevailed in the Penitentiary
during the past summer ; several of the officers,
and a large portion of the convicts been af
flicted, and several have died. Gen. McConnell’
the Principal Keeper, has been compelled to re
sign his position, on account of ill-health. The
salesman, Capt. Polk, is dead; and Mr. Williams,
the Book Keeper, has been down with au attack
of fever for the last two months. These afflictions
have prevented the officers from making their
usual report. Col. James A. Green, the present
Principal Keeper, has been but a few days in
charge of the Institution. The officers will, how
ever, prepare the usual report as soon as possible;
and will afford to the Committee on the Peniten
tiary, every facility in their power for a full inves
tigation of its affairs.
.No appropriation having been made at the last
session of the legislature, for the completion of
the new workshops and other necessary buildings
connected with the Penitentiary, which were
commenced under the act of 1858, I directed the
Priucipul Keeper to have the buildings which
were regarded indispensable, completed with con
vict labor; which has been done. The increased
number of convicts rendered it absolutely neces
sary that the cell building and workshops be en
larged. The quantity of ground eucloued within
the walls is too small for convenience ; and it is
believed that much of thesickness of the convicts,
during the past summer, was caused by the crowd
ed condition of the Institution. I respectfully
recommend the appropriation of twenty thousand
dollars for the rebuilding of the walls, and the
enlargement of the enclosure. We now have two
hundred and forty-seven convicts, which is a
larger number than ever was reported at any pre
vious time.
It is to be regretted that crime increases
with the increase of our population. This, how
ever, has been the experience of other States ; and
we must not expect to be exempt from a common
misfortune. As legislators, it becomes our duty
to provide for the punishment of the criminal. It
is not to be expected that this can be done with
out expense to the State. The punishment of
crime has been a pecuniary burden to all civilized
nations, but the well being of society, and the
protection of life and property imperatively de
mand the exe’ utiou of the criminal laws, no mat
ter what may be the cost or inconvenience to the
State.
w. & a. railroad.
It will be seen upon an examination of the Re
port of Dr. John W. Lewis, the able and faithful
superintendent of tin/ State Road, that the Road
is ill excel.alt condition, in every department;
and that the net amount paid into the State
Treasury, for the past liscal year, is £450,000. —
This sum has been paid into the Treasury, after
deducting uli expenditures and makiug all ne
cessary repairs, and paying $22,040 of bonds and
coupons of the funded debt of the Road, which
fell due Ist January and July last; together with
over ten thousand dollars of other old claims,
which originated before the commencement of
my term in office, and which had been for years
in litigation. It affords me pleasure to add, that
the officers of the Road, in every department of
of its management, have generally been diligent
and attentive, and have acquitted themselves
with credit, during the past year.
The crop just matured in this and the adjoining
-States, i> Known to be a very short one; and great
demand for bread is anticipated during the ap
proaching season. With a view to affording all
the relief in my power to our people, I shall ex
ert ail the influence I may possess, in favor of a
through rate upon corn, wheat and other grain,
from the West, which will briug them into this
State at as low a late of freight as the different
Hoads can afford to carry them. This can be ef
fected only by concert of action among the au
thorities of all the ltuads, over which the uruiii
roust pass; and it is to be hoped that none will be
iound wanting in liberality, in this emergency.
It is true thut these low through freights will di
minish the amount of incomes from the Road
which might otherwise be paid into the Treasury
during the present.fiscal year, but our people will
be amply compensated by a cheaper supply of
bread.
I have considered of the propriety of bringing
grain, to be consumed in the State, ov.er the Road,
tree of charge; or at a figure that would pay only
the actual cost, of transportation, without any
profit. Were such a rate of freight adopted, lam
satistied that the result would be, that the compa
ny roads, which form links in the chain from the
West, would advance their rates of freight so as
to keep the cost of transporting grain over the
entire line, but little if any, below what it now is.
The result would be, that the price of grain would
be nothing less to the consumer, while the State
Road would lose her just proportion of the through
freights, which she receives under the present
schedule. Suppose, for instance, it costs twenty
live cents per bushel, to bring corn in this State
from the West, over the route byway oi Balti
more, or by way of New York.
The roads forming the route by way of Chatta
nooga, wiii not be likely to bring it for much less;
as the demand is here and must be supplied ; and
they will do the carrying if they keep but a cent
or tvvo, m the bushel, below the other routes. In
terest will prompt them to keep their freights as
high us they can, without losing them by compe
tition with other roads. Should the State Road
carry for nothing., as in the case supposed, the
other roads forming the line would still charge
twenty-three or four cents on the bushel; which
would he one or two cents less than the freight
charged on the other routes. This would secure
to them almost a3 complete a monopoly in the
business of carrying corn, as if they carried it for
half that sum. The State w r ou!d lose her part of
the freight, while company roads, mostly out of
the State, would divide it among themselves;
which would greatly increase their profits, lesseu
the incomes of the Road, and result in no material
benefit to consumers in the State.
Again, it would be impossible to determine wbat
grain, passing over the road, was intended for
consumption in this State, and what for other
States, or for exportation to other countries.
Speculators, baying to sell in other States, or for
exportation, shipping over this route, might re
port their grain for Georgia consumption, and
consign it to Atlanta, Macon, or Augusta, and
take the benefits of through routes over the line;
nnd of free transportation over the State Road.
T..ey could then arrange with the consignees at
tiiose points, to re-ship it to South Carolina, Ala
bama, or other destination beyond the limits of
tins State, tor consumption in which it w T as origi
nally mtended. 5
For the*e and other reasons, I am satisfied that
the free transportation of grain, or other bread
-BtUiiß, over the State lload, would result mainly
to the benefit of other railroads, and speculators
without material benefit to the consumer. I do
not, therefore, consider that it would be wise to
adopt that course ; but think it best that the au
thorities of the State Road act in concert with the
authorities of the other roads, and do all in their
power to procure, from the company roads, such
• rates of through freight as will afford grain to our
people at as low a price as possible. If the State
had the control of the other roads over which it
must pass, the case would be very different, as she
w ould then have the power in her own hands, to
regulate the price on all; hut it should be remem
bered, that the road over which the State hus
control is only one of the shortest links in the
cb f;.;i St the cause of alarm on account of the
scarcity of grain in the country, is much less than
many have supposed. My opinion is, that abuu
tia.il supplies can, and will be brought into the
State, and sold at prices nearly, or quite as low
as those paid during the past year. I shall con
tribute all in my power to the result; which I
consider of vital importance to our people. I will
cordially sanction any law which may be devised
by tbe wisdom of the legislature, for the assistance
of the afflicted, or more indigent and distressed
portion of the people. Asa tax-payer and a citi
zen, I will cheerfully contribute my part tow ards
the assistance of those who are in distress and are
unable to help themselves. I commend this sub
ject to the careful consideration of the legislature.
boundart line.
By the act passed and asseuted to, lfith Decem
ber last, a straight line from the mouth of the
Flint liiver to Ellicott’s Mound, was recognized as
the permanent boundary line between the States
of Georgia and Florida; and Georgia bound her
self to recognize the line then being run by the
joint surveyors of the two States, as the true
boundary line, provided Florida should by law do
the same ; aud provided that, at the eastern ter
minus, it did “ not depart exceeding one-fourth of
a mile from Ellicott’s Mound.” The surveyors re
port that the line, when run through, departed
only about twenty-four feet from the mound ;
leaving the mound that distance on the south. It
is said that Florida gave her assent to this propo
sition of Georgia, in refereuce to the first line run
by the surveyors then in the field, with the qualifi
cation that the line should not run south of the
line known as tbe McNeil line ; aud that Georgia
is not, therefore, bound by the line as run, w hich
did not precisely strike Ellicott’s Mound at its
eastern terminus. Admit the truth of this propo
sition, and it does not relieve Georgia from the
agreement of her late Executive, which was rati
fied by our Legislature of 1857, adopting the ter
minal points of the then recognized line, and pro
viding for a re-survey between those points ;
which re-survey the State of Florida demanded,
as she had a right to do, under the resolutiitns of
our Legislature.
The Act ot 1859 does not repudiate either this
agreement or the re-survey, but expressly recog
nizes both ; and provides that, if the Seate of
Florida shall fail to recognize the line then being
run by the surveyors, as the true and permanent
line, it will then be the duty of the surveyors to
run and re-run the line, until they shall strike a
straight line from the mouth of the Flint river to
Ellicott’a mound ; and that this line, thus desig
nated and marked by them, is recognised and de
clared to be, ihe permanent boundary line between
the two Status. Georgia is, therefore, fully com
mitted to a straight line between the terminal
points above mentioned, as tbe boundary line.
They surveyors who run the late line, are gentle
men of high character in their profession. They
report that the line was correctly run between tbe
two points; aud the fact that they departed from
the object aimed at, only twenty-four teet, in run
ning a line over one hundred and fifty-eight miles
in length, satisfies my mind that they made a very
Close approximation to correctness. I regret that
Georgia bus lost a strip of territory heretofore
claimed by her, and some valuable citizeus resi
ding upon it. This is no sufficient season, howev
er, why she should repudiate her solemn compact
w ith Florida. According to the report of the sur
veyors, the variation of the line, as run from a
straight line between the two terminal points
agreed upon, is too immeterial to be made the
subject ol future controversy or misunderstanding
between the tvvo sister States; as it is only a strip
of territory twenty-four feet wide at its eastern
end, converging to a point, at tbe western end.
Forthe purpese of putting this controversy for
ever at rest, I recommend the passage of a joint
resolution of the two Houses, recognising Hie
line, as run and ina r ked by said surveyors, as the
settled and permanent boundary line between the
two States.
reduction ok the number of legislators.
For the reasons contained in my last annual
message, I renew iny recommendation for the re
duction of the number of Senators and Represen
tatives composing the General Assembly, i think
the experience ot each member has convinced him
of the imperative necessity which exists for the
change. To say nothing of the unnecessary ex
pense of legislation, it is, I think, generally ad
mitted that both bodies are too large aud unwield
ly for practical efficiency.
inconsiderate legislation.
I also renew my recommendation of last year,
that hasty, inconsiderate, private and class legis
lation, be generally avoided. The larger portion
of the bill.-. introduced, are usually disposed of
within the last three or four days of the session,
when members areanxiousto leave for their homes
and business is dispatched in much haste, and of
ten amid considerable confusion. In this state of
things, many bills are passed which, doubtless,
would uot command the sanction of the Houses,
on more mature deliberation. In the confusion of
the last night of the session, it frequently happens
that bills of much merit, which ought to become
laws, and which have received the sanction of the
two Honses, are lost or mislaid, and are never en
rolled ; consequently they are not signed by the
President of the Senate and Speaker of tho House
of Representatives, and cannot receive the appro
val of the Governor.
state aid to railroads.
In my last annual message, I gave somewhat
in ‘detail, me reasons which infiuenced my judg
ment iu arriving at the conclusion that it would
be, not only sound and safe, but wise policy on
the part of the .State, to lend her aid, by allowing
the use of her credit, to such Railroad companies
iu the construction of their roads, as will accept
it upon the terms, and subject to the liabilities
and restrictions therein prescribed. My mind
has undergone no change upon this question.—
Observation and more mature reflection have
i fully confirmed my previous convictions. I
therefore, tor the reason given in said message,
renew the recommendation therein contained.
A reference to the past history of Htate Aid to
Railroads, in Georgia, is probably one of the
strongest arguments that can be adduced in its
favor, in the future. The State, by payments
from her Treasury and the use of her credit,
built the Western & Atlantic Railroad; which has
not only developed a rich section of her territory,
and added many millions to her wealth, aud thou
sands to her population, but is now paying into
the Treasury over ten per cent, per aunum, upon
the whole sum paid out of the Treasury and
raised by the sale of bonds, for the construction
of the Road ; besides affording the means of trims
porting into the State the supplies of gram at
present absolutely necessary io the support of
her people.
Georgia has not, therefore, been injured by her
first grant of State Aid in the construction of a
Railroad. The second instance was that of the
Milledgeville and Gordon Road, in which she took
$20,000 of stock. Upon this stock, she received
interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum,
while she owned it; and on the sixth day of June
last, under the provisions of the Act of 1859, she
sold it, at par, for cash, to the Central Railroad
and Banking Company ; with which it is now con
solidated. The third and last case of direct aid
by State appropriation, in the construction of a
Railroad, if ijp- Atlantic and Galt Road, in which
she bound herself to take $1,000,000 of stock.—
Ibis lioad is being rapidly constructed; and I
am infoimed that the State will have no difficulty
in disposing of her stock in it, at par, so soon as
the Road i-> completed. To do this, iu my opin
ion, would be good policy ; provided the money
is again in* ested in the construction of such other
Roads us will develop the resources of other sec
tioas.of the State.
I again v sited this Road in May last ; and found
that fifty-two miles of it had been completed since
my visit onejcar previous. There is probably
no Road iu the State so well built, upon which
more rigid ecouomy has been practiced. Its con
struction end management reflect great credit
upon its able and energetic president and other
officers. Tb i Road is developing a most interest
ing portion of our State ; and it is believed that
the increase in the value of the lands in the coun
ties through which it passes, from the day when it
was commenced to the day of its completion, will
be more .nan the entire cost of its construction.
SABBATH DAY.
For the purpose of preventing as far as possible
tbe deseuartion ofthe Sabbath clay in preparation
for electiuus ou the day previous to tbe time of
holdingtbem, at your last session, acts were passed
ehangiiut the time of bolding the election for Gov
ernor, members of Congress, members of the Gen
eral Assembly, Judges, Solicitors General, and all
county fiicers except Ordinaries, from Monday to
Wednesday, ihe Constitution fixes the election
of Ordinaries on Monday. I recommend such
change iu the Constitution, as will enable the legis
lature to fix tbe time of holding this election also,
on Wednesday, or other day of the week. The
Act above referred to in reference to county offi
cers, Judges and Solicitors General, provides that
these elections ”he held on the first Wednesdarin
January, in each and every year.” The inteution,
doubtless, tv us that they be held “each aud every
year” when the term expires; and not that the
election of-lie Judges, for instance, shall be an
nual, when the Constitution fixes the term of of
fice at four years. I recommend such change in
this statute, as will obviate auy difficulty that may
arise in its construction; otherwise it may become
an embarrassing question, whether allcountyoffi
ccrs, whose terms are not tlxed by the Constitu
tion, are not to be elected annually.
The step taken at your last Session for the pro
tection of the Sabbath against desecration, is
highly commendable and praiseworthy. Another
still more important remains to be taken. The
Railroad Companies of this State, are in the ha
bit of ruuuiug their regular passenger trains, on
the Saboath day. This is generally excused on
the supposed necessity of carrying the mails on
that day. Ido not think the excuse a sufficient
one ; nor do I think any great public necessity re
quires that mail service should be performed
the Saboath day. The mail facilities which we*
enjoy on the other days of the week, aro much
greater than they were a few years since ; and
are, in my opinion, quite sufficient for all the ac
tual necessities of the country. I have permitted
the mail trains to run on the State Road, ou the
Sabbath day, in conformity to the general usage
°k < v e Companies of this State, and in
obedience to the requirements of a contract with
the 1 ost Office Department which was made prior
to my term in office, and which continudd in exis
tence the greater portion of the time since I have
been charged with the management of the Road,
ihe practice of running trains on the Sabbath
should in my opinion, be prohibited by law. If
it is wrong for the government of the State, to
permit the trains to run on the State Road, on
that day, it is equally wrong to allow them to run
on auy company road iu the State. The General
Assembly have full power to prevent this practice
in future. I therefore recommend the enactment
of a law, subjecting the Superintendent of each
and every railroad iu this State, to iudictment for
misdeameauor, in tbe Superior Court of the
County iu which the offence is committed; and
on conviction, to fine or imprisonment, or both,
at the discretion of the Court, for each and every
engine, or train, which shall, with his knowledge
or consent, bo permitted to run upon the road un
der his eontrol, on the Sabbath day. “Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” is addressed
alike to the legislator and to the private citizen.
CODIFICATION of the laws.
The Commissioners appointed to codify the
laws of this State, and to condense and simplify
them, so as to bring them, as nearly as practica
ble, within the comprehension of all, after nearly
two years of incessaut labor, have completed the
work ;. and they are now ready to submit the Code
to the inspection of the General Assembly. The
joint committee appointed by the Senate and
House of Representatives, at the last session, for
the purpose of revising and fully examining said
Code, have, I am informed, also performed the
the duty assigned them : and they will, no doubt,
be ready to report at an early day. From the
short examination I have been able to give the
Code, which the codifiers have kindly permitted
me to inspect, I do not hesitate to say, that I
highly approve of the arrangement and general
plan of the work : and consider it a great improve
ment on our present Digests of the laws. My
time has been so occupied since its completion,
that it has not been in my power to examine the
work in detail. Possibly, 1 and each of you, up
on a critical examination, might find some things
iu the work to disapprove. Should this even be
the case, however, it is much better that we adopt
it, as a whole, and remedy by future legislation
any defect that may exist in it. I trust the Legis
lature may concur in this view of the subject, and
adopt the Code at an early day. The limited time
allowed for the session would not be sufficient,
should all other business be neglected, for a revi
sion and discussion of the entire Code by the
General Assembly, by whom it has been carefully
and critically examined.
In the event of its adoption, the printing will
be a very considerable job; and it will be necessa
ry that a larger sum than usual be appropriated
as a Printing Fund. Great accuracy in tbe exe
cution of the work will also be a matter of the
first importance.
To secure this, it will, iu my opinion, be neces
sary thaf the services of one of the Codifiers, who
is perfectly familiar with the whole work, be ob
tained to supervise its publication. The Code as
prepared has been deposited with me, and is sub
ject to the order of the General Assembly.
For the privileges which we enjoy as a people,
and for the boon of health and preservation of life
which have been vouchsafed to so great a propor
tion of the inhabitants of this State, during the
past year, we have abundant reason to return
thanks to the Almighty Ruler of the universe.
May He in future avert from the people of our be
loved State, and of our whole Country, the judg
ment merited by them ; aud continue them, as
were our lathers, under His protection, and smile
in mercy upon us all.

cold, I suppose ; at any rate, a severe diarrhea set in, which my
medical attendant fouud It impossible to arrest. This was fol
lowed by dysentery. My strength was all gone Everything
passed through me as I took it. A friend irom New York, Mr.
George Lewis, fortunately called on me, and advised Bran*
dreth's Pills, I thought in my weak condltloa, one pill would be
enough, but he administered four, and tbe next monging four
more. Much Impurity came from me, and, to my siFrgrise, the
soreness and pain diminished. One box cured me folly. I am
now hearty, with a good appetite.”

ty Brandreth’s Pills are growiug more In favor witff th
public. It Is now conceded they are the best purgative yet put
from the world of medicine, Tho time wld surely arrive
when they will supersede all other purgatives whatever. The
lngredieuts of which they are composed can scarcely be obtain
ed by druggists or the makers of other pills. Dr. Brandreth
has them grown and prepared without regard to tbe expense.
And thU care to make a popu ar purgative is appreciated, ,t
their sales Indicate. Other jjurgatlves are dragging a flickering
existence. And yet they may have some merit. But BRAN
DRETH’S PILLS are safe and sure—safe, because, they ope
rate solely on impure humors. No valuable fluid is touched;
only eflete or worn-out material, which, when tatoen out ofthe
body leaves it stronger.. They are as pleasant as a truly effec
tive medicine can be. To say that they will not sometime give
pain would not be crue, but the pain they give is only because
they remove those trude and bad humors from the blood which
are the occasion of disease. They open nature's avenues, and
this car not always be done pleasantly.

two objections that have operated against, their so full
a * hare of patronage as they might otherwise have done. The
first, that of leingtoo far down town; the second, that of
having a fully competent and practical man at the nead of our

ment of the business. We are thus i repared, from the central
position of our Shop on Jackson street, anu the one in the rear
of our Store on Broad street, to accommodate tjoth up and

aud shall be. prepared to execute any style of work known In

N. B.—We are not ambitious of occupying a “ loading posi

any “ new effort,” or trick of legerdemain to gain it, or to oust
otners from It, but shill try the old-fashioned way of getting a
living by doing goon work, at as cheap a rate as we can afford
it; and though we can’t claim much practical knowledge of the
business lu behalf of our “ senicr,” we do think we have the
right to claim with emphasis in behalf of our junior—he having
had 33 years of constant practical experience—2s of them In
this citv, and not suDlcct to a discount of 11 years spent in the
cot to i market. We are not disposed to boast of our “facilities”
to get goods so cheap as to make It Impossible to be “under
sold yet we teel very sure that If others sell cheaper, it will
hardly be “possible” that they will receive “ talr remunerative
prices.” As “ hope springs eternal In the human breast,” aud
as we are alsostlmulated by the lines learned In our school
days, “ Tall oaks from little acorns grow,” Arc., &e„ we shall
Indulge the hope that at some future day we may approximate
so near “ a lending position” in the trade of our cltv as to
make it a question not entlrelv “ beyond controversy” whether
it shall be retained and monopolized by those who so confident
ly appropriate its exclusive occupancy to themselves. We
trust ur friends will pardon its for entertaining such ambitious
hopes. octlS-dtf

NOTICE AND CACTiON.
THE “simple statement” of John K. Jackson, Esq., of th
3d Inst., requires from me a notice, which, from the state
of my health, must, at this time, be brief
Mr. Jackson Is now. aud has been for several years, a Direc
tor and the Attorney of the Union Bank of this city. He
knows all about the agreement which President Thomas pro-
Sosed, for he aided in drawing it up. lie knows that it was
uly executed by my late brother William and myself, and
that the Banks took advantage of our reliance on tneir good
faith, to carry the cases against ua on the docket to judgment,
Inst ad of dismissing them. The Attorney of the Union Bank
(his predecessor in office,) took the leud oh that occasion, as be
sail',by order of the Board of Directors. He was a member of
the Board, but in favor of complying with the agreement. The
Attorneys of the other Banks followed as a matter of course.
cashier Davies, oi the rank of Angus’a, Informed me that
President Thomas applied to that Bank to uube in appointing
John K. Jackson, Esq, their common Attorney, to take
charge of all the judgments in question. And after my
imprisonment in the jail of Richmond county, by virtue of a
ca sa. at the suit of the Bank of Augusta, the Cashier wrote to
me on the 14th September, 1808, that ’• the Bank gsve no order
for the is-ue of the ca. sa, but he presumes it was done by Mr.
Jackson for reasons which were de> med by Idm satisfactory.’’
The object in appointing a common Attorney, was, as the
event showed, to 1 ivy the executions on the property of the
heirs of Mrs. si ary Ann Harper—four of them orphans—for the
property of. & w. Harper had been sold, or rather sacrificed,
mere than two years before the latter lew was made. This
levy was the pretext for a compromise, which seems to have
been always in view of the plamtltfs’Attorneys, rather than a
trial by jury.
Mr. John B. Whitehead, representing all the heirs, was la
dlgnant at ihe n me of compromise, but was offended with me
for oppo-ingthe disgraceful one which he afterwards accepted.
The proposal for it, which Is .w, was in the handwr ting of the
common Attorney, John K. Jackson, Esq 1 must close for the
prese t. W JAMEs MARKER.
