MILLEDGEVILLE,
TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13,1871.
The Comptroller General’s Report for 1870.
As we intimated when wa acknowledg
ed the couitesy of Comptroller Madison
Bell in presenting us with this public
document, we sball now devote a small
space to its general make up, as well as
specially to arraign what we regard a
part of the positive wrongs and gross
malfeasances disclosed throughout its
pages, and which transpired with the
supposed supervision, if they were not
actually perpetrated, under and through
a secret connivance of the last Legisla
ture, or rather some of its subdivided
agencies—matters too, that demand and
must receive prompt investigation and
the most liberal retrenchment, if no more
can be effected—by their incoming suc
cessors.
The Kepoit in its mechanical con
struction exhibits (with some few ex
ceptions) as far as we have been euabled
to judge, a fair and concise statement of
the Finances of Georgia—the sources
whence derived—to whom paid out,
when, and for what; the balances re
maining to the different Funds; and
what debts are still due by the State.
Many of these items are the same, mu-
tads mutandis, as heretofore reported up
on—making the Credits and Debets of
one year—that of 1S70, the main features
for close investigation at this time; and
these are furthered down to the warrants
which were drawn by the Governor, evi
dently upon the Treasurer in favor of
members of both branches of the Legisla
ture and their doubled, tripled and quar-
tupled staff of Clerks—iu favor of the
Governor and his Secretaries and their
extra adjuncts—also of the heads of the
several Departments their regular Clerks
and auxiliary attendants—and of the
many, many Judges and Solicitors of the
Courts, and even their consulting breth
ren—with a host of sponging parasites,
interlopers, hangersonand supernumera
ries, thick as blackberries, who appear
to have got the pap-drippings for no oth
er reason than they were akin to mem
bers and had been promised situations
whenever vacancies occurred! Of all
these, we shall confine our present stric
tures to the ‘mileage’ paid each Senator
and Representative; remarking ‘luens a
non lucendo' that even Door Keepers
and Messengers with all the aforesaid
Clerks, participated in the rich picking*
Of all ways that are dark and tricks
that are stealthy, let the ‘mileage’ sys
tem or practice, as manipulated by patri
otic and ‘truly loyal’ Senators and Rep
resentatives of the Georgia Legislature
of 1S70, take pre-eminence, Whatever
charitable expediency might have sug
gested in the past, when travel was en
cumbered with bad roads, crooked and
long at that—vehicles few and cumber
some and money hard to obtain—its a-
doption was of doubtful propriety and
scrupulously adjusted to the simplest ne
cessities ; but now it has acquired such
utter disproportions to these, that it is
not only shamefully exorbitant but in
most of its details,'a swindle and hast
fraud! The term—its sole aim and scope,
as we take it, was intended to be under
stood and employed as a certain and fixed
rate for so many miles of the whole dis
tance from the seat of Government wher
ever it might be, to the several homes
of members; that is for every twenty
miles of this distance dollars should
be paid both in going to and returning
therefrom, as allowance for traveling
expenses. This was its original accepta
tion and use, when a day’s journey was
not much beyond twenty miles, and the
fixed rate of mileage was in accordance
with the supposed actual charges on the
roads. It was the custom when honor
and honesty prevailed over theft and
peculation, and Senators and Represen
tatives labored heartily to aid the public
interests. It was the custom whan the
village or county 6ite, its town or city or
center, was taken as the point from which
all distances were measured or estimated
to the Capital, by the most direct line
of the common road wagons; and when
a member once established and charged
for so many miles of that road, always
adhered to it as the unvarying true one.
We will give a few counties, and the
mileage to which we think Senators and
Representatives entitled under the law,
with the amounts which were paid to
them iu accordance with their ‘audited
accounts,’ but nevertheless in unaccount-
lie contrast with all law and custom
within our knowledge. Independently
of their being overpaid in nearly every
case, we are unable to comprehend how
they could fairly ‘figure up’ the amounts;
god why they varied bo materially in
chaiges for the same distances, and in
favor of the same persons—and what is
still more a riddle and a rebus, how the
same Senators and Representatives man
aged to increase their mileage for each
and every session of the same Legisla
ture ! These are such perfect enigmas
that we ask of same knowing one a com
mon sense solution.
We will begin* with Chatham, and
Savannah the County Site—distant from
Atlanta by dirt or Wagon Road proba
bly 257 miles—by Rail, 292. Now if
tbe members from this County had been
paid as they should have been, for the
most direct or wagon route, each would
have been entitled to about $126. If
on the contrary they were permitted to
prefer the roundabout or Rail, then they
should only have received about $146.
We do not aim at exactness but to ap
proximate amounts. Wbatdid they really
get ? For the 1st Session the Represent
atives drew each $150—for the 2d each
drew $153, for the 3d each $150, ‘while
as ‘expelled colored members’ two
drew, yet other instalments of $225,
each for mileage alone ! ! There
is some confusion and a want of clear
ness and fullness iu the report, as
to the accounts of the ‘expelled colored
members’; in as much as they are rep
resented as drawing their full per diem
and mileage for the time they were dis-
seated together with the full per diem
and mileage for the whole of the 3d Ses
sion—no mention beiug made of the
ousting members or the amounts they were
paid. We presume we comprehend the
probable facts, but even under such view?
there remains large discrepancies in the
mileage, as the exhibits of the report
show, these ‘expelled colored members’
were paid each and all of them, four dis
tinct aod full amounts, when far the larger
number received but three, excepting the
Senators, who came in for the shares of
the Executive Session, making four to
them—and five for two of the expelled
Senators.
Kota lene as to this Executive Session (
equally useless as it was expensive. It
was made to last 16 days ! The mile
age of one cute, colored, cuss, exceeded
his per diem by $9S.50 ! while that of sev
eral other Senators, were laregly in excess.
The ‘beauty spot,’ however, of Gov.
Bullock’s sham, consists in its having
only re-assembled the next day, or the
day thereafter or some very short peri
od from the final adjournment of the
Legislature, zeithout in all probability a
single Senator leaving Atlanta in the
inteival, yet they drew mileage as if
they really went and came again ! This
was construing law exceptionally, and
constructing journeys groundlessly !—
But how 6tands it with the Senator of
the 1st District, of which Chatham is a
portion ] Well, he took for the 1st Ses
sion, $147.50 ; for the 2d, $150 ; and
for the 3d, $450 ! each of which were
for mileage alone. The Executive Ses
sion mileage was $147.50. At first, wo
thought the 450 amount, must be a ty
pographical error—but, it is carried out,
and added to his per diem pay, making
the reqisite totality; besides, Mr. Bell
surely corrected the proof sheets of his
report, and would not have overlooked it
had any misrepresentation existed.—
Four hundred and fifty dollars mileage
from Savannah to Atlanta, at five dol
lars for every twenty miles simply stag
gers us !
We will next look into Liberty coun
ty the County Site of which, is Hines-
ville at an estimate distance from Atlan
ta 273 miles, which would call for $130
mileage, or if by Railroad (327 miles)
about $163./The Representative however
must live in three separate and widely
distant localities: The 1st Session he
drew $166.50—the 2d $16S ; and the
3d $192.50 ! while under the ‘expelled
colored members’ Table, he laid in his
bill at $252!
Next in order is the negro carpet-bag
Senator of the 2d district, the grand
magnate of Cathead, Darien and Doboy—
one Tunis G. Campbell “Esquire Jus
tice of the Peace an! Coram, Cust-alo-
rum and rataborum too !’’ Liberty, Mc
Intosh and Tattnall compose his baili
wick ; but he lives in McIntosh and has
his headquarters at Darien—always reck
oned 190 miles from Milledgeville—the
old Capital, and adding 93 miles to At
lanta, makes the latter place distant
from Darien 283 miles. ’Squire Camp
bell therefore, should have reoe ived as
his mileage by this, his nearest route
about $140 per Session. But doubtless
he traveled all round tbe circle of his
jurisdiction and went first by Steam
Boat to Savannah, which we will say is
120 mile9, altho' but 63 by laud from
his home, «o-called, th ence he Railed it
to Atlanta292 miles in all 412, at an
actual’cost of not more than $25, if that.
But allowing his right to make such a
roundabont journey and paying him
five dollars for every 20 miles going and
the same for returning, his mileage bill
would foot up $205 ! Does he charge
this sum in any of his amounts render
ed to the Senate’s auditing committee
and who aro presumed to know some
thing of that they pass upon, aud to cer
tify the correctness before payment can
be made 1 Not he. For the 1st Ses
sion, his mileage bill as paid, was $217.-
50 ; for the 2d $326, and for the 3d
$272 50 not one of which corresponds to
the true amount that ought to have been
paid him. Under the ‘Expelled colored j
members’ caption, it is »Uted fie get
$217.50. r or mileage, and for the Execu
tive Session $212 50 ! But more
strauge and equally inexplicable are
the charges made for mileage, by
Lis son, the Representative of Mc
Intosh county, ’Tunis G. Jr. and
residing as we imagine, in Darien also.
The 1st Session his mileage was $225.
For the 2d and 3J each 200. While his
bill, for going over the stme ground af*
ter he suffered expulsion, could not be
compromised for any thing lower than
$300 !
Upon what rule or ‘tariff of rates’
these mileage Bills were .fixed up, is al
together beyond comprehension : and
how they were made to vary and each
to contradict the others, all being fair—
is a secret known only to Radicals. No
formula appears to have governed the
Auditing Committees, but every mem
ber it seems charged what he thought
he eould get, and the Treasurer was no^
a Judicial power. In proof of this sup
position and to demonstrate that gross
ignorance, or inexcusable negligence, if
not willful connivance to defraud the
State, was inevitably chargable some
where, we will add the several mileage
sums paid to B. B. Hall, Esq., the Rep
resentative from Glynn county, and liv
ing in Brunswick, which is estimated to
be distant from Atlanta in nearly a di
rect line, at about 294 miles. For the
1st Session his mileage was $145; 2d
Session, $144, and same for the 3d !
Here is a member representing a class
charging what we consider rightfully
due him—yet how much under what the
Campbell’s (father and son) charged—
they living in a county between Atlanta
aud Brunswick, and considerably nearer
thau Mr. Hall!
But we will have more to say about
mileage, and will defer further examina
tion and comparisons until theu. Some
thing must be “rotten in Denmark”—
something that calls for the surgeon’s
scalpel.
Look at the Bright Side.
Notwithstanding the innumerable bles
sings with which a beneficent Provi
dence has strewn the pathway of man,
aod the fact that for about six thousand
years his wants have been supplied by
the same kind hand, yet we still find
those who doubt the continuation of His
bounties, and are always looking for*,
ward to some unseen calamity that is to
befall them individally, or which they
are to share in connection with the hu
man family at large. These characters
can sec nothing that is bright and beau
tiful—can hear nothing that is pleas
ing—can feel nothing that is gratifying.
They cannot see the bright sunshine
that bathes the flowery hills and vallies
in golden light. They cannot hear the
melodies of the birds—nature’s sweet
songsters—when they make forest and
fields vocal with warbling music—nor
feel the pleasure which a world of beau
ty ought to inspire. They can only see
the storm-cloud as it looms up over their
heads, threatening to sweep them and
theirs to destruction. They can hear on
ly the muttcrings of the deep-tor.ol thun
der and can feel only the stroke of the
dreaded lightning as in anticipation, it
blights and withers all their earthly
prospects. These doubtless always have
the dark side of every picture presented
to their mental visions. And though it
were painted by an angel with a pencil
dipped in light, yet will they only see it
of the same somber hue. Their fields
may be smiling with the bright promises
of a bountiful harvest, yet they will not
believe that blessings they have enjoyed
for so many years will be continued to
them.
Their families may he in perfect
health, and in other respects be all that
is calculated to gain the respect and es
teem of the world or awaken their own
pride ; yet they will torture themselves
with the fear that approaching sickness
will soon sweep their loved ones away,
or that some sad misfortune is to befall
them which is to bring shame upon their
now honored names. In this class of
people you will ever fiud willing and
credulous listeners when you recount
the darkest and sadest talcs of human
suffering or the most terrible and sicken
ing stories of human depravity. Tell
them of the virtues and praise-worthy
deeds of mankind and they will either
deny their deeds themselves or will at
tribute their performances to some im
proper motive. It is such as these that
would have us believe that they have
the gift of prophecy. But if so, they are
but half prophets, for they prophecy on
ly evil, tihould anything really bad
take place, it never rakes them by sur
prise, but their proudest triumph is to
tell every one tbeymeet, “I told yon so.”
Wars may come, with all their desola
tions ; pestilence may sweep like a besom
of destruction over tho land; famine,
like a gaunt spectre may stalk through
our fairest cities ; storms, fires and earth
quakes may come, but they are always
received by them with the same claim to
prophetic foresight of “I told you so.”
But is it not a little strange that, as
they told everybody yet nobody can
ever recollect of having heard of the
prediction. Most of these assertions are
about as truthful as that of the woman
whoso husband thinking to tel! her of
some disaster she bad not foreseen, made
tbe rather startling announcement that
the cow had eaten the grindstone, when
she promptly responded, “I told you bo,”
This disposition to always look at the
dark aide of every picture—tbe gloomy
side of every subject—tbe worst feature
in every landscape, ia all wrong; aod he
who is so little thankful for the bright
places in life., deserves to live only in the
dark gloom with which his own distort
ed fancy has painted the picture of life.
Why not look at tbe sonny sidef
Thorgh it is true there are dark lines
in every picture, yet they are intended
to make its beauties more apparent. The
beauty of the landscape may at first sight
appear to be marred by some unsightly
feature, but it will afterwards be found
that it is contrast that makes the love
liest of its scenes more pleasing.
There is no situation iu life in which
tbe cheerful and hopeful heart may not
find some green spot—some oasis—which,
though it be surrounded by tbe arid des
ert, is yet made verdant by tbe life-
giviug waters of Hope and Promise.
Tbe best kind of human philosopy is
to make the best of the circumstances
with which we are surrounded ; to think
the best we can of every misfortune, and
to place tbe moat charitable construction
wo can upon the acts of others of which
we cannot conscientiously approve. If
some unfortunate friend has fallen into
bad habits which hare lost him tbe high
place he ouce occupied among bis fel
lows, let us not give him up as forever
lost to us and to society, but let us cher*
ish the hope that be will soon be restor
ed to us, and that his departure for a
time from the path of right will but at
tach him more strongly to it when he
returns. God gave us the world as it is.
And shall we look only on its clouds
and never see the ‘‘silver lining” that
tells us that all is bright beyond ? Let
us remember that the longest and dark
est night will give place to the light of
the rising sun ; and so when our pros
pects are darkest and most unpromising,
let us not despair, but let us look forward
to the dawn of brighter hopes—the light
of a brighter day.
The earth is full of brightness and
beauty, why should we seek only its
glooms and deformities? It is full o
beautiful flowers, let us not “vainly stray
in search of its thorns.” Let us under
all circumstances be cheerful, and hope
ful, and happy, and then—
•‘Bright flowers shall bloom wherever we rove,
A voice divine shall talk in each stream;
The stars shall look like worlds of love,
Aud this earth be all one beautiful dream.”
Florida News.
The Water Fall in Florida.—A wea
ther king writes the Palatka Herald :
During the two weeks commencing on
the 12th ult. and ending on the 20tb the
amount of rain fall reached the enor
mous depth of over twenty-one inches—
21 19-100. This is equivolent in mea
sure to eighteen thousand one huudred
and three barrels per acre, and its weight
to two thousand three hundred and
eighty two tons for the same acre.—
More than half of this enormous amount
of water was precipitated in two days,
beginning the 17th and 18th, during the
prevalence of the cyclone or tornado.
The writer continues :
To get a clearer idea of the vastness of
this rain fall, let us assume that the St.
John’s river drains only six miles on ei
ther side from its mouth to Dunn’s creek,
and then include all between Dunn’s
lake and the Ocklawaha to Enterprise.
.This includes about uinety townships,
and is considerably less than one fourth
of the area actually drained by the St.
John’s ; but in this limited space the
amount of rain fell during the time
specified above was suficient to form a
lake forty miles long and fifty miles
wide, with a uniform depth of twenty-
eight feet four inches.
St. John’s River.—This noble river is
higher than it has been in thirty years,
and we see no evidence of abatement in
its waters. People who built at low wa
ter mark find themselves surrounded
with water. From all that we can learn
we are led to the belief that at least one
half of the cotton crop in this section
has been destroyed by the late gales.—
The planters have sustained very seri
ous damages in the loss of the potato
and corn crops, which must necessarily
bring much distress.
The Thomasville Enterprise reports as
follows, on the cotton prospect of that
section :
The Cotton Prosped.—Our farmers
report the prospect as anything but prom
ising in this section. The boll worm
continues its ravages, which in some lo
calities amount to almost a total destruc
tion of the young bolls. The storm al
so did considerable damage by blowing
down the stalks, whipping off the bolls
and forms, and muddying and scattering
the open cotton. Besides this the top
crop, Which promised well a month ago,
seems to be doing but little, and without
an improvement, with a favorable and
late fall, it will prove a failure. An in
telligent farmer told ns that he did not
believe the cotton crop of Thomas coun
ty would be more than half as great as
that of last year. Another, who is farm
ing npon the beat lands in this section,
planted for 150 bales, hat now hopes for
only 80. Upon the same lands last year,
with less artificial appliances, 125 bales
were realized.

Patented February 27tli, 1871, by FINDLAY & CRAIG. An ANTI-FRICTION SCREW-
A MECHANICAL WONDER. This wonderful mechanical achievement in point of RA
PIDITY and LIGHTNESS of DRAUGHT. STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL, and is des
tined at an early]day to supercede ALL OTHER Cotton Screws, be they fabricated of Wrought
or Cast Iron.
Since last fall, and before accenting Patent, we ad ed improvements and labor-saving con
veniences, rendering it PERFECT in every particular. The screw, or pin, has a pitch, as
fall, of 64 inches ; th it is, at every turn of the screw, follower block descends (or ascends, or
the case may be) t>4 inches. The device of the tube or nut in which the screw works,
is such as to materially reduce the friction, so great in the common screw ; thereby ren^
dering it an easy task for three hands to pack a bale of cotton in HALF THE TIME
of ANY OTHER Iron Screw Press by horse power. When desirable, an ordinary
