A STOCKHOLDER.
From thn Republican. Uth IwL
he City Council of Savannah, at their laqt
:tinr, passed a resolution concerning tho alTuirs
our Company, which douiand* your serious
consideratiunt TJiey Apply to the Legislature or
Gceggbto alter the Male of voting prescribed in
yonr charter.
Under the charter, the scale of voting is as fol
lows: “for one share, ono vote;for two shore* nnd
not excel d .ig Cri, two vote*/provided flint no
person or body 1 politic shall be entitled to more
than 60 votes.” Thus, J00 share* glvo SI votes.
The resolution of Council neoka an amendment
to authorize tho Mayor and Aldermen, to vote
SO rote# on each 100 share* after the first 100, of
the Corporation Stock, that is to vote 1,000 votes.
This application is baaed upon tho ground timt
it is the opinion of many judicious persons timt
tho City of Savannah is not fairly represented
“according to her interest and representative ca
pacity," in comparison with other Stockholders,
in the appointment of tiie Directors and “necessary
agents to manage the affairs of the Company”
I propose to discus* the merits of this proposi
tion with duo respect to the public body which is
the author of it
Tho uuuibor of shares of Capital stock, known
as tho old Stock, isJ-20,510. Thejnumber of shares
of hew stock is 5,000.
Tho old stock (20,510 shares) is hold os follows:
by the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah 5,000
shares; by resident citizen*, property holders of
Savannah, 8,GG1 share*; and by person* roaiding
out of the city 6,549 shares.
The new stock is held a* follows: by norsons re
siding in Savannah 3,315 shares, and by persons
mi., nfll.fi nil.l 1 AlK .lln.na
residing out of tho city 1,685 shnircs.
Tlio uOOO shares of stock standing in tho name
of tite Mayor and Aldermen belong to the proper
ty holders of the city. The property in tho city is
taxed to pay the annual interest of tho debt created
to purchase the stock; and certain property is
pledged to pay tho principal.
The resident citizens, then, who own near three-
fourths of the capital stock of the Company, aru
at the same time chief owners of the C0)0 shades of
the Corporation stock. It follows, conclusively
as it appears to me, that tho interests of Savannah,
ns a Corporation, aro' identical with tho interests
of the individual residont stockholders. Tho lust
mentioned persons constitute at the sanio time, a
large and iniluentio! body of the constituents of
the Mayor and Aldermen.
The combined interest of tho eorplfralion and
the individual resident shareholders, bus always
controlled and does now control the direction und
management of the Company.
How then can it, truly, be said that tho city of
8avannahis not fnirly represented in cumpurixou
with other Stockholders 7
But the Mayor and Aldermen think they ought
to have more control in the appointment of “7)1-
rectors and necessary Agent to manage the affairs
of,the Company.’’ to what good end would tho
grout ofsnch additional control operate 7 Would
it operate in favor of tho interest of tho resident
individual Shareholders? Then the grant is en
tirely unnecessary, for these individuals already
have tho power in their hands. Would it oporutu
against tiie interest of these individuals? Then
the grant ought not to be asked by the May or and
Aldermen, because these individuals are chief reul
owners of the Stock represented by the Mayor
audAldonnen.. Or would itoporate ngaiust the
interests of non-resident Shareholders? If that
would be the effect, it is curtuinly, unfuirto the
latter Shareholders to grant tho additional power
—because, already, the poweris manifestly ou the
“side of Savannah.
The application of the Mayor and Aldermen is
unreasonable, moreover, iu this—thoy ask timt
they shall have additional votes, end yet do not ask
timt individuals owning over 300 shares be allowed
the tame privilege. There are two persous hold
ers of old stock who owu 19SG shores. Why aro
they to be so utterly disregarded? Why are seve
ral other individuals who aro restricted to 60 votes
as well a* tho Mayor aud Aldermen, to bo like
wise neglected, Do the Mayor and Aldermen
seek undue control over the Compnuy7
The Stockholders and all persous interested
may bo sure that if tho Legislature ever undertakes
to alter the churter, it will never commit an act of
so gross injustice as to alloie the right to the Mayor
ana Aldermen to vote 20 vote* ou euch hundred
shares of stock, and to deny tho same right to in
dividuals who aro or may become proprietors of
over 300 shores. I apprehend this exclusive featuro
of the application was overlooked by the Mayor
aud Aldermen.
I have asked to what good eud would the grant
ofthis additional control to tho Mayor and Alder
men operate, aud havo endeavored to answer tho
enquiry. I now usk the Stockholders of the
Company generally, but especially thoso who
hold property in the city, and also all property-hold
ers who are not StoekholtUrs, will you run no risk
by the grout of this requost ofthe Mayor and Aider-
men ?
The propcrty-holdersarc tho persons bound for
the'naymoiitof tho city debt. But the property-
holders are nottbe only constituent* ofthe Mayor
and Aldermen. It is not tho possession of proper
ty, but tiie paymont of a poll tax which gives tho
privilege to vote. Might not this now power,
then, especially in times of political excitement,
prove to be tho power oftliose voters who own no
property, against the true interests of tiie holders
of property? This is a question which a dema
gogue might fear to put aud fear to nuswer, but it
Mono of great import to you. I leuvo it for your
own answer. •
Tho prohibition to vote over 60 votes was in
troduced into the charter upon mature reflection,
by those who originally subscribed for stock in
tho Company. The (then) Mayor of tiie City

been made to engraft upon tills war question,
another, the discussion of which must exasperate
a considerable portion of tho Union, end the de

to moke them subservient to his own ambitious

Thoy have met together anil will conliuuo to meet,

the gatherings ofthe American people.
Such being the case it is full timo that tho voice

full time thftt tho majority which placed Mr. Polk
in the Presidential chair, increased as it has been

I have the hppor to transmit to the General
Rscmbly a Resolution of tty* Legislature ofthe
State ofTennessoo, adopted .at their present see-
nr The New-Orloans papers of the 9th, due
last evening, failed to nrrive.
I3P* It will bo soen by tho call in our column*
this morning,that tho Democrats of Chatham aro
preparing to send a representation to tho Con
vention in Millodgovillo, called by tbo Democrat
ic mouther* of tho Legislature. We hope that
the same courso will bo pursued by tho party in
tho neighboring counties where our political
friends uro in tiie minority. It is all important that
tho Stuto should bo fully represented in this con
vention. Lot tho couvention be largely attended,
and expressive by it* nuuibors ns well as its
spirit, of the deep interest which is taken by tho
Democratic party of Georgia iu the great ques
tions timt are now before the country, aud in
sustaining tho puro policy and triumphant meas
ures of tho present Democratic administration.
£3** We learn that the Lot with the edifice ou
Court House square, known as tho Unitarian
Church, bus been purchased for tho Second Bap
tist CIiurch,by the members of tiie latter congre
gation, for the sum of $6,500.

during all his life, though belonging to (but poli
tical party which was iu tlio ascondunt, maintain
ed the propriety of tiiis prohibition. The prohi
bition wo* intended to prevent a politicul body
from controlling tlio ufluirs of tlio Company—to
prevent it from appointing all “ tiie necessary
Agents" to miuingo it* affair*. But it was in
tended to do more. It was dosigned to provunt
large capitalists whose interests might happen to
be adverse to Snvaqnah from purchasing up stock
to control tiie operations of tho Company. Let
the scale bf voting he altered, and let every hun
dred share* of stock give 20 votes, und where is
the security against tiie introduction here of cup.
i ai from another and a rival State, enough to buy
the cobtroi ofthe Itoud and to destroy our city?
The Jute actiou of the Mayor and Aldormcn is
gratuitous ou their part—'although it inay hnvo
sprang from a siucero desire to promote tho in
terests ofthe city. They were, not moved to it
by any call of tlio persons who own the stock
standing in their name. They could not havo
been tnovod by any personal interest, for all tho
members of Council togothor hold but 12 shares
of stock in tiie Company. Why then has the
movement been made at this time ? Do they
EOtePtyin dfiuty mismanagement of tho Cmnpn-
ay’s business ? Such compluiut, if there be any,
.would seem strange, since the present Mayor of

The Clay nnd Anti-War Meetings,
Among the intelligent peoplo of our own
country who will regard theso meetings simply
as the mnvoment* of a reckless and desperate
faction, headod by a reckless and desperate man,
whoso ambition, so long indulged and pampered,
has nearly reached tho verge of insanity, they
can only excito emotions of patriotic indignation
and profound disgust. But will not their moral
iuflueiico ami effect upon foreign nations be
most prejudicial to our character, most injurious
to our grentness, most lamontablo in rcforcnco to
our existing rclutions with Mexico ? Can any
patriot, (wo speak regardless of party) can any
patriot contemplate this effect without a feeling
of unonsiucss for his country, of unmitigated
indignation against those who are disposed to stab
her to the heart ?
In the midst of war, anti-war meetings nre held
in the most populous aud controlling portions of
tlio country. They aro represented in the pub
lic journals of the times as being large, respecta
ble and enthusiastic. They nre called together to
respond to tlio views aud sontiment* of a man
who has filled u lurge space in tho world’s oye
whp is known to havo been for years a prominent
light umong American statesman { who was a
warm supporter of tho lust war with England,
who was born in a Southern und resides in
slave-holding Stuto, aud whoso former history,
full of tho narrative of tlio high-toned, fervid olo-
quonco of an earlier day, oro dark ambition had
corrupted tlio fountains of fooling iu bis heart,
still holds out tlio pretensions of u patriot for him.
Thu expressions of thoso mootings nre most violent
against tho policy of our own government, most
abusive and insulting to tho President of the na-
—not the country's war. The sovereign people
nro doclarad to be opposed to tho war; and the
idea.is hold out to the world that the people will
oxertthoir power, and bring a corrupt, unjust and
ruinous war to a speedy closo. The great ques
tion, which it is believed by foreign tiations will
fiually destroy our Union, bus boon rudely ap
proachod nnd handled. The Southorn institu
tion of slavery, so completely interwoven with
the destining of a largo portion of tho nation, that
uo human eye can di.scern in the future any
change in tho relations of tho master and the
slave, which must not inevitably result in tlio
ruin and misery of both, is pronounced a curse,
a.wroug, a reproach, a disgrace, and tho most in-
suiting allusion* nro publicly made, aud vocifer
ously applauded, in reference to the tyrnnuical
conduct mid customs of tho slave-holder. These
allusions nro uindoix response to tho soutimenN
nnd opinions expressed by tlio citizen of a slavo-
holding Stnto. The constitutional rights of that
portion ofthe Union are to be wrested from them,
by mun who claim to be tho suppqrters of tlio
Constitution.
Ay ell may wo nsk, with an emotion of appre
hension, what is to be tho effect of tiiese mani
festations of fooling upon tho views aud opinions
ofthe other nations of the world ? Not .before,
in tiie history of tlio war with Mexico, havo they
reached such mi extrema as now. True tlio lead
ing Whig journals of tliin country have been noi-
#y and nbusivo of the Government, deuuneiatoiy
ofthe war, and prophetic of its speedy, and to us
dishonorable cluso. Senators and representa
tives in Congross have indulgod thonuelves in
the most violent language of vituperatiob against
the Administration aud of heart-felt sympathy for
Mexico. ’These editorials and speeches have

A Change of Opinion most Extraordinary.
What a recommendation must it be in a Whig
paper,(the days of Whig consistency like the days
of Burke's chivalry being over,) to be possessed
of that chameleon-like facility of change, which
can adapt itself to any party contingency 1 Not
three months had elapsed between tho 25th Sept
last, aud the 14th of this month. During that
time it is true that strange occurrences have taken
place iu the political world, but wo do not know
that our government has been revolutionized, or
the great principles upon which it is based; yet
during thut period a most remarkable "change
has come over tiie spirit" of our neighbors'
dream, upon a most important subject. We
chronicle it for the bonfit of posterity:

The Army,
Hon. W. L. Maroy, Secretary of War, in his
report, of 2nd inst., again recommends a retired
list of oificers of the Army, who, by age or iufirin-
ities have become unablo to perform active duties.
The experience of tho past year, he justly remarks,
has added force to the considerations in favor of
such a measure.
The Secretary also concurs in the acting Sur
geon General’s recommendation of an army asy
lum or retreat for tho soldiers, who, after faithful
service, will retire from the army, worn out in
service, disabled by wounds, or permanently im
paired in health, by exposure andhardships, with
out tiie means of comfortable support or the abil
ity to earn it
Wehope to seo Congress promptly acting after
such suggestions.
Hospital Surgeons.
Secretary Marcy recommend* six hospital Sur
geons to be appointed to bo continued, in office
only to tiie end of the present war.
Further Operations,
Sccrotary Marcy, in his Report, remorks :—
Our further operations must, in my opinion,
be conducted in ono of tho three following
tnodas:—“first, to take and hold an indemnity
line ; to recede from all places and positions now
occupied in advance ofit, and >cease from all ag-
gressivo operations beyond timt lino; second
to overrun tho whole country, and hold all tho
principal places in it by permanent garrisons;
and, third, to return what wo now possess, open
tlio linos of communication into the interior, and
extend our operations to other important places,
as our means and the prospect of advantages shall
indicate—keeping a disposable force always
ready, within approachable limits, to annoy the
enemy, to seize supplies, enforce contributions,
aud frustrate bis efforts to collect means and as*
soluble troops for the purpose of protracting the
war."
After discussing their respective merits, tiie
Secrctaiy declares his preference as follows :—
“The third mode presented is, in my judgment,
preferable to tho others. Beyond certain limits,
it admits of expansion and contraction; but as a
fixed condition, all now held is to be retained,
and no part surrendered, but in compliance with
treaty stipulations. This plan also contemplates
further acquisitions extending to other important
points, more or less numerous, as circumstances
may warrant."

not been all received. In forty counties the votes

that tlio vote would be nearly equally divided,
The result therefore, is quite doubtftil.

Atlantic Rail Road. In view of tills pledge, the
Legislature of Tennessee, doubtless, passed nu
act on the 24th of January 1838, entitled “an act
to authorize tiie State of Georgia to extend her
Western and Atlantic Rail Rond from tlio Georgia
line to some p6int on the Eastern margin of the
Tennessee River—which act doclares, that the
State of Georgia shall be entitled to all the privi
leges, rights and immunities,(except tho subscrip
tion on the part ofTennossee) and be subject to
the same restrictions, as far as they are applicable,
os are granted, made, and prescribed, for the
benefit government nnd direction ofthe 'Hiwas-
see Rail Road Company.’ By the 3d Section
ofthe act referred to, it is provided,, that the fore
going rights-and privileges are conferred upon
the State of Georgia, on condition, that whenev
er application is made, she will grant and con
cede similar ones, and to ns great an extent
to the Stato of Tennessee, or her incorporated
authorities."
It is obvious flint tlio extent ofthe grant to Geor
gia, under the act referred to, is to be ascertained
alone by reference to an net of tho General As
sembly of the State of Tennessee, entitled “an
act to incorporate the Hiwasseo Railroad Com
pany," which act, it is proper toremnrk, from the
copy herewith transmitted, does not appear to
have the usual credence of having passed the Le
gislature ofthis State, although attested by the
Speaker ofthe Senate and House. In addition
It will bo remembered that the validity of our
graut is defended upon granting like privileges to
the State.of TeimoHsee, orcompaniesincorporat-
ed under tlio authority of that State, whenover ap
plication is made to this Stato, far that purpose.
This application is now made tinder the author
ity ofthe resolution to which I havo called your
attention. I apprehend tlio Legislature will most
cheerfully carry out by suitable legislation, these
principles of reciprocity in regard to tho public
works ofTenuessoo in tho process of completion,
or such other works as may from time to time bo
found desirable to afford suitable facilities to the
citizens of tlio two States whose interests nro so
closely connected. It becomes, however, desira
ble to determine, os it is now believed to lie the
settled polioy of Tennessee os well as of our owu
Stato, to connect Nashville with tlio Atlantic by
moans of a continuous Railway, what additioual
legislation on tiie. part of either is necessary, to
secure that object. In the accomplisluneut of an
enterprise of so much magnitude, evory minor
consideration involving no principle or surrend
er of sovereignty dangerous to the State, should
be yielded by each to tne other on terms of perfect
reciprocity, and even liberality; nothing Icbs than
this m becoming the character of Georgia to offer
or to accept. Under existing laws it will be seen
that that portion of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road from tho State line to Chuttanooga, is ex
empt from taxation fortwonty years after com
pletion— a similar provision will be expected in
(iivorofthe Railroads of Tonnosseo,running over
any portion of our territory. If exemption from
taxation for a period of twentyyears was desira
ble to Georgia, as a protection of that portion of
our road in the State of Tennessee while in the
process of construction, is is not quite ns desira
ble, that after completion, in order effectually to
S uard tlio interest* of this Stnto, that Tennessee
iould grant an exemption from taxution, to con
tinue as long as the road may be used as a railway,
Unlesstliisfiberal policy is adopted in rcforcnco
to tlio public works ortho two States within the
territory of the other, there may arise, froui tho
taxing ^powers upon the property and road of
cither State within the limits of tiie other, serious
misunderstandings, destructive of tlio harmony
necessary for tho buccoss of their respective
works, tot not the improbability of tho abuse
of power, at a distant period, deter us from
guarding against, it now, and especially as tiie
Treasury of this State, may alwuys oxpect to
enrich itsolf, as much by yielding up tho right to
tax Roil Road proporty belonging to Tennessee
or its citizens, ns it will by the exercise of this
right, provided we (secure the like immunity for
our Rail Roud, nnd other property attached,
within the limits of tho State of Tennessee. I
would therefore very respectfully suggest, that
the Legislature offer to tho Stato of Tennessee,
total exemption from all taxes on Rail Hoads char
tered by that Stato. and terminating in Georgia,
or passing over any portion of our territory,
niuf connecting with tho Western & Atlantic
Rail Rond, upon tho condition that our Rail Rond
nnd proporty attached, in that State, lie in like
manner exempted. I avail myself of this occa
sion to recommend to tho General Assembly, in
{ [ranting to tho Nashville and Chattanooga Ruil
toad tlio right of way through the county of
Dado, to prescribe, ns a condition, that four years
bo allowed this Stato to complete thut portion of
tho Western and Atlantic Rail Road from the
Stato lino to Chattanooga, instead of tlio time
uow prescribed, und in directtorms.all tiie rights,
privileges, und securitie, to tho Western & At
lantic ltnil Rond, granted by tlii* Stato to tho
Nashville & Chattanogn Rail Road. Believing
it may boncceptible, I trdusinit a copy ofthe act
ofthe General Assembly of Tennessee,entitled an
“act to incorparate tlio lliwasseo Rail Road Com
pany," aud also the uct passed Dec lltli, 1845, to
incorporate tho Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
Roud. GEORGE W. TOWNS.
Tho House has taken up the special order of
tlio day, being tho bill to remove tiie Seat of Gov
ernment to Atlanta. Mr. Harris of Baldwin is

or something abovo 11 percent per annum. Com
plete this road to tlio ChataUooohee River, a few
miles farther, and its profits will be immense, as
it will necessarily become the great thoroughfare
forthe Atlantic travel of the United States and the
great mail. New commercial relations will bo
established, and social intercourse will be happily
promoted, not only benefitting the agricultural in
terest of Southwestern Georgia, by developing
its resources and increasing its population, but
would facilitate tlio accomplishment of a high na
tional purpose, in connecting the Gulf and the At
lantic,Ocean, thereby avoiding the dangerous nav
igation around the Florida point. Tho Pensaco
la Company, now freed from its embarrasments,
and having already fifty miles of their road grad
ed,wilt diverge iu a direction to connect with tliin
road: and thore can be uo doubt timt this Peusu-
cola road will uow be built. The General Gov
ernment will grant to that Company the right of
way through tiie public lands in Florida and Ala
bama, with liberal grunts as a donation, urged to
do so from the great increase iu value which the
road will give to tlio romaining lands, as also from
the fact that Pensacola is the great naval depot on
the Gulf, and Savannah is tho most western At
lantic port. Thus by encouraging tlio comple
tion ot this route, to connect wall tiie Southwest
ern Railroad, these two points will be brought
within thirty hours of each other; uffording con
veniences to tho General Government, the bono-
fits and utility of which are so ovident to overy
one, that comment is unnecessary. '
Your Committeo have boendeoply impressed
with the advantages the South-western Railroad
would give to tho State of Georgin, tho almost
unbounded profits that would result from it, and
the lateral branches that would diverge from and
connect with it, and its almost' certain extension
to far distant points. Columbus will find it to be
her interest to connect with it. Eufaula will cer-
tainly do so (< bringing with it the largo trado oftlio

Minority Report of tlio Coimnlttco on Internal
Improvement.
The Minority Committee on Agriculture and
Internal Improvement, to whom was referred
tiie petition of sundry citizens asking assistance
from the State to aid iu completing the South
western Railroad, having had tho same under
consideration, beg leave to i>resent the following
Report:
Four Committee cannot doubt tho permanent
utility of a Railroad through the Southwest coun
ties of Georgia. Thoy stand isolated from the
benefits that spring from our system of Internal
Improvements. Whilst nature,hus denied to that
highly fertile section of Goorgia fine navigable
streams, and in consideration of the distance from
any place of Commercial importance, it cannot
bo otherwise than apparent to every reflecting
miud, that the want of a proper outlet to market
has greatly hindered the development of its re
sources, as a few statistical facta will sufficiently
illustrate. The white population ofthe counties
through which a road would run, or necessarily
bo tributary thereto, to wit: Dooly, Houston,
Macon, Marion, Sumter, Stewart, Randolph,
Leo, Baker, Early and Decatur, was, in 1845, 56,
209, whilst tlio number of blacks was, 37,602. r
The increaao in the white popnlation, from 1840
to 1845. was at the rate of a little over 15 per
cent, whilst that ofthe black population was about
37 per cent, for thn five years. In the counties
most convenient to a market, the inurease in the
black popiilation has boon at the rate of 75 per
cent, whilst in the couhtibs more remote from
market, though having the advantage of a more
fertile soil, better adapted to the cultivation of
ootton, the inereaso has not oxceeded from 10 to
25 per cent
The cotton crop of 1840, in the above named
counties, was estimated, by the Amoricus Con
vention, at near 100,000 bales; and it woald not
be an extravagant calculation to put tho amount
capable of being produced In these counties, and
which would be nnnually raised iu cnusequeuce
oCtho increase ofpopulation, particularly that of
the blacks, and the extended agricultural interest
that would follow tiie completion of the South
western Railroad, at 200,000 bales. Thoir pro-
ducts, now great, would bo doubled, trebled, and
quadrupled, iu A very few yenra after this work
must and will connect with it. A route from Mo
bile to tho mouth oftlio Ohio rivor is uow being
surveyed, and tho stock nonrly taken up, author
ising the belief that the road will oro long bo built;
and Georgia will be tho recipient of tne almost
incalculable benefits that will result from the
trade and travel through this connection with tlio
Gulf aud all that vast region that is washed by its
waters, tho West Indies, Texus, Mexico, and
South America—aud also from the connection
with the rich valley of the Mississippi and tlio
Great West. And this can bo effected, on the
part of tlio citizens of Georgia with an expense a
little over a million of dollurs, about a third of
what the Western aud Atlantic Railroad has al
ready cost.
Iu view of thoso considerations, and the ndvnn-
tages that inevitably inure to tiie State of Georgia
from the completion of the Southwestern Rail-
roud, in tlio opinion of your Committee, tho Leg
islature ought to render such uid to tho citizens of
Southwestern Georgia, with restrictions sufficient
to secure the State from loss, as will ennblo them
to complete tho road. To doubt the willingness
ofthe Legislature to graut to tlio people of that
section of the Stato the assistance asked for, is to
impugn its liberality and justice. Georgia has
spent threo millions and a half of dollars in im
provements necessury to dovelopo tho resources
of tho Cherokee rogiun of tho state. Not one
cent has ever beou giveu to any projeet which
cau uid even reinotmy tho Southwestern coun
ties, to relievo them ofthe commercial and agri
cultural difficulties with which they are environ
ed. During this profusb outlay of money, they
havo nobly submitted to overy sacrifice which has
been deemed necessury for the public good.—
Taxation has been increased to compFeto the
great works of internal improvements carried on
by the Stato. Yet not one word of dissatis
faction or disaffection hns over been heard
from the people of that section ofthe State in op
position to tho policy of the Logislaturo. With
opon purses, they have inetevery demand neces
sary to sustain the good fuith and advunco the
E rosporitv ofthe State. For many years they
ave paid into the Treasury ofthe Stato as large a
proportion of taxes as any other given number of
counties in tho State, without having derived any
advantage or profit from its profuse expenditure
in works of internal improvement. ’They therefore
feel that they havo a right to ask, trusting that their
appeul will not ho iuvnin, for assistance uccussu-
ry to enable them to complete this road, so im
portant to their interest, and ho advantageous to
tho prosperity ofthu Stuto of Georgia.
In consideration ofthe uhovo facts, your Com
mittee would recommend tiie pussnge of tlio fol
lowing Bill.
