The New York Journal of Com merce has a correspondent who is traveling in the South. Its issue of the 6th instant, oontains a highly in teresting letter, written by this cor respondent from this city, from which we extract the following : THE FINANCE OF GEORGIA. This is the capital of the State, and here the Governor lives and the Legisla ture meets. The taxes flow to this center and the money is paid out here. Men who steal, steal here. As to the great inestiou of finances, only the ridiculous aspect is presented here. The finances are the taxes, and they are absorbed by the politicians. It will be remembered that the Ku- Klux committee requested the executive of each State to forward answers to cer tain questions touching their debt, taxa tion, election laws, Ac. In response to that request tbe Treasurer of the State of Georgia forwarded information, of hich I will make a brief abstract. Governor Bullock liad printed in New York and sent here State bonds amount ing to 80,000,000, 84,000,000 gold, and 82,000,000 currency, 8500,000 of tbe cur rency bouds were canceled in New York and returned here. He also had printed 82,700,000 State gold bonds under the act of 1870 granting subsidy to the Brunswick and Albany Railroad Compa ny. About $5,000,000 of all these bonds were sent to New York in January last. Iu addition to this large amounts of bonds have been promised “ in aid ” of railronuL. The indebtedness of the State at the commencement of the war was 82,114,- 500 ; at the close of the war it was the same, with the addition of accumulated interest of about 8000,000. The $3,900,- 000 issued in 1856 was to fund the ma tured State bonds and interest, and to put the State Raailroad in repair. A further amount of $600,000 of State bonds was issued in 1868, but not used by the Governor until last year. These with the bouds previously issued made the legitimate bonded debt of the State in January, 1870, 86,544,500. To this must be added, but which may not yet be sold, tbe new gold State bonds Currency bonds sent to New York State gold bonds under act granting aid to the Bruns wick & Albany Railroad.. 84,000,000 1.500.000 2.760.000 814,804,500 Terms of A-dvort lsli 9 00 ! 11 00 12 00 14 00 I 16 00 18 00 1 20 00 j 22 00 | 24 00 27 00 40 00 20 00 22 i/0 24 00 3 WKF.KH 1 MONTH. 38 00 40 00 43 00 47 00 Advertisement* In the Local Column marked with an asterisk, (•) will be charged 25 cents per line each insertion.

In order to make the best of it a law was passed adjourning the session over till next fall, so that the old Legislature might get the pickings and the new one, which is Democratic, might not assemble to undo what that Legislature did. A great cry has been raised through Georgia about repudiation. By that they mean repudiation of the subsidy bonds. Many gentlemen of financial note pro tested against a direct repudiation, be lieving it would be misunderstood, and damage the credit of the State. So they made up a case of tbe Supreme Court of the State on certain points, and it will be tested when the court meets about two weeks from to-day. The points are like this: First—The constitution of the State provides that the second session of a leg- islatute must adjourn on the fortieth day after its meeting, unless a vote of two- thirds of both houses shall extend tho time. Question ? Was the necessary two-thirds vote secured ? Plaintiffs say it was not, and that the body was organ ized in violation of law. Second—If the body was illegally in session, are not its acts illegal? It re quires no reasoning to r’iswer that ques tion. The decision of the first point will govern the second. It would therefore be a good thing for those who think of investing in the rail roads named, in expectation of the sub sidies, to wait a few days and be govern ed by tbe Supreme Court decision. My opinion, based on good grounds, is that the court will decide that all the acts of the session during which they were grant ed were unconstitutional, GOVERNOR BULLOCK AND HIS ECONOMY. Governor Bullock lives iu the best pri vate residence in Athuita. The Legisla ture paid 8100,000 of Suite funds for it. Governor Bullock i,* not as economical as he might be. Witness a comparison of expenses under his administration and those of his predecessors. Tho Bullock legislature, 4 rom its organization in July, 1868, to January, 1871,1 cost for its ex penses over 81,000,000 cash. From 1855 to 1862 (seven years) the entire cost was 8865,000. Last year the legislative ex penses were greater than for any five years before the war. The clerk hire ex- Jlucftt Ado About Nothin. The New York World advocated the nomination of (Jhase in 1868, and ever since it lias been, with great tact and industry, paving the fcay for his nomiuatiofi in 1872, or at least for organizing the Democratic party on a platform which would he but the eniliodiment of his principles. WhaU ver its feebler imitators aud folio# 1 * by its repeal; for they would Still be ers may claim, the World dtperves all the credit of the new departure in vention. It put the ball in motion, and tbe ‘*iu£ind petty spirits” that have since been trundling ht it deriv ed all their inspiration as well as their confidence from the great organ of Tam many. As |usual, the original utterance is far more distinct ana in telligible than any of its echoes. For instance, the World finds some of its disciples jumping at conclusions with a vim that Uneaten8 to take them clear over into the Radical position, and in its issue of Thursday last it gently Warns them thus: If the Radical interpretation of Amend ments XIII, XIV and XV were warrant ed, particularly that interpretation of Amendment XIV, which finds ground in it for the Ku-Klux act, then recognition of the validity of these amendments would be an acceptance of an accom plished revolution—a revolution which looked but time to blot out State Govern ments, to expunge tbe Federal Govern ment, to make prevail one coiiHolidated centralized Government. No such re volution in the structure of our institu- tions as tho Grant Republicans ore at tempting can the Democratic party be brought to “accept;” no such situation will they “recognize;” no such “new de parture” from tho doctrine h that are dearest to them will they validate with even the assent of silence. The Democratic party would cease to be Democratic; it would have begun to bo (not a Republican party, but) a Grant Radical party—the party of revolution— the party of imperialism—if for one in stant, if in one election, if in one Con gressional district of any State it sub mitted without indignant protest,without organized and determined re Stance to uuy aud every such intolerable interpre tation of the Constitution as it is. In discarding the three amendments from the issues of 1872, the Democratic party surrenders ilbt one single syllable last year -re f2 000 being two ^ .tKE.3 tta clerks for each three members of the sut<8 NorUlern DfIllocrate deny, as they have always denied, that At a very low estimate wo will place the bonds in dorsed as subsidy to build new or repair old rail roads, already made nec essary or issued at 6,923,000 Total 820,727,000 I do not much like the looks of the ac counts of the State of Georgia. They suggest broken promises. Here I find bonds due and unpaid, matured in 1859, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1868, 1869, 1870, amounting to about 8170,000, with a prospect of its being increased during 1871 by bonds maturing this year, amounting to $150,000. In 1868, ster ling bonds held in Europe, amounting to £15,000, and £3,000 interest, became due. They have not been paid. THAT AWFUL RAILROAD JOB. During the year 1870, the Legislature granted State aid, or what we would call in the North, subsidy, to railroads, which bear enumeration, for it may be of in terest to those who desire investing in the stocks. The aid granted was as fol- lows: . ^ Albany & Columbus Railroad, 812,000 per mile. Albany, Mobile & New Orleans Rail road, $12,000 per mile. Amerieus A Florence Railroad, 812,000 per mile.

K. JOUR SON, Superintendent. Legislature. The Legislative clerk hire from 1860 to 1863 was only $43,000, a-.d part of that was paid in Confederate mo ney. The cost of the entire Legislature, clerks and all, 1862, was only $6*2,849.— In 1870 the cost was sixteen times that amount. Governor Bullock’s incidental expen ses amounted up to Novembef last to $23,800; those of his predecessors $350 for fifteen months. Governor Bullock’s extra printing to November last footed up $76,000. His predecessors got along a year with $1,070 for that purpose.— Among other expenses of the present Governor are: $34,000 attorney’s fees for work the Attoruuy-Geueral should have performed ; $40,000 for executive clerks, fully four times what the law allows or has been customary at any time ; $300,- 000 for special service to bis predecessor’s $7,412, or in the ratio of forty to one.— He hired Mr. Conley to make nn analysis of tho State Constitution, and took $10,- 000 copies at $115 each. They arc worth probable 20 or possibly 25 cents each at retail. The State Road—tbe Western A Atlantic—paid to the State last year $45,- 000, but at the end of the year it was found that it accumulated a floating debt of $700,000, and the State was obliged to assume it. There must have been ele gant pickings for somebody in that trans action, because it is well known that the road, well equipped as it is, does a busi ness that pays handsomely. Before tbe war it paid a very large portion of all the State expenses. As the Congressional Ku-Klux Committee does not pay me for unearthing these evidences against the real Georgia Ku-Klnxes, I propose to stop. Every one seems to be talking of them, but I get my data from the books, cession is sncli a right; and Southern Democrats accept the situation that war has ended debate. But evejy other Htuto right defined or reserved in the Federal Constitution, asserted in Demo cratic platforms, affirmed bv the Sup reme Court of these United States—to these and all of them they cling! accept ing no revolution which womd melt them indistinguisliubly iuGrant’enmperial brazier. Thus the Democratic party oonld not and would not discard from tbe issues of 1872 tho three amendments if they justified those usurpations whiojuGraut and his party have cut the ties anoiaid rails for in the Ku-Klux act—usurpation of the State Rights of police, usurpation of the State right to have tho suspension of the habeas corpus writ kept williin the legislative discretion, and not delegated to a candidate for re-election to tho Pres idency. Usurpation of the State right to make and administer all criminal and property laws would be as well justified— for the gate is left wide open—if tbe XIVth Amendment conld justify the ac tual usurpations of the Ku-Klux act. But it justifies neither these nor those—not one of them. Now here we have the great leader of the now departure saying, as plain as words can make its meaning, that the Democratic party would cease to be Democratic ii it submitted to the amendments as construed by the Radicals. This whittles down to a very small point indeed the issue be tween th<*new departure and the old One side pro- Democratic position. o w I poses to accept the amendments and and there are plenty more where I left construe them out of sight, seeming off. very confident, that it ean be done; the last Ku-Klux outrage the other behoving that the amend- was the recent offer by Governor Bullock | monte were made aud the courts of largejrewards for the arrest and deliv-1 j )llit .ked to insure the Radical con- ery (not conviction) of alleged^Ku-Klux- gtructioh of them, proposes to eradi- ION-) AJH-LINE RAILSOAI) _ a arrives 4 :W g^ui^r PMseu^iT Trsin lesvos 7:30 U({ t> Line.

The World makes a long argument to prove that the Radical construc tion of the XVth Amendment is un tenable; but the World is neither the legislative, the executive, nor the ju ilicial department of our (iovern ment Unfortunately tho Supreme Court lias recently been packed for corrupt decisions where only sordid theft was the motive. How can we trust to weigh the glittering prize of i mnjro against the lilx-rtics of our people? If the Democrats wore in power We huve no fear that they would construe the amendments dangerously as the Radicals do. If wo could nave any assuranco that power would never again pass into the hands of consohdatioubts we should have no cause to fear the amendments. Ilut, until wo can have some such assurance, it is rain to expect that the Detnscratic heart will he reconciled tg the permanence of such startling innovations in the original scheme of our Government —sfveli mighty changes in the distri bution of power as must unsettle the ‘guilibrium of our system. Usurpa- ing in it to cause estrangement among honest Democrats. The great end in view is the same on both sides, and the only difference is as to the best way way of securing it The bitterest en emy of the amendments does not wish to disturb the Xlllth. He objeots to the XVth because suffrage should be left to the States entirely and not be- oause he would disfranchise the negro voters under, the Constitution of nearly every Southern State. His objections to the XIVth are precisely those innovations which the new de parture pledges itself to construe away. We said, and we sinoerely believe, that there is no cause here for es trangement between honest Demo crats who take different views as to the policy of the campaign we are to conduct together against the com mon enemy. But there is another class of new departure Democrats who stand in a very different relation to us. • They have gone into the move ment because they are indoctrina ted with Radical principles, aud are only restrained from joining the Radical party by the most sordid con siderations of selfish policy. It is easy to distinguish this class of Democratic papers from such as the World.— There are but three or four of them, and they may be known by the trucu lent and shameless malignity with which they unceasingly assail the Democratic party under the presence of attacking the “Bourbons.” It is from them that the North gets the Ku Klux alarms, its belief that the “Bourbons” want a new war to dis franchise the negro and reduce him again to slavery. It is from them that tiie North gets its opinion of Democratic government in Kentucky, as an organized system of lawless ness, eorruption and cruelty. It is from them, in short, that the Radical stumpers draw most of their campaign material. It is not at all strange that they aro known aud shun lied us political lepers. That there is no movement to kick them out of the party, aud out of their dis guise us Democrats, resnlts from the fact that their feeble sensationalism is not at all dangerous, and everybody knows that they will take themselves out of the party at the first favorable opportunity.—Louisville Ledger. From the Albany News, July 7th. Nearly a Unit* Three days after he issued his proo* famation he "commenced drawing war rants on the State Treasurer, amounting to $1,500 each. It would seem by this that Governor Bullock wants to raise a Ku-Klux Klau of his own, for the purpose of creating bogus outrages in order to secure the offered rewards. This is tho only or ganized Ku-Klux Klat in the State of Georgia. ► •-* —— „ From the Mobile Resistor, June 23. PRESIDENT DAVIS And the Franklin Society.

There is some dif ference as to the mode and manner ol conducting tho C,r'>+ too r- ; ■ but ',vc believe the True Georgian is the only Democratic paper iu the State that es2>o!ises the new policy doctrine, and embraces the harlot of dissension. The people of Georgia are not pro pared to surrender vital priuciplcs for temporary advantage, and of this there arc no surer indioee than the utterances of the press. They may be willing to remain outside of the national political cauldron, and calm ly wait the developments of the in cantation, hut will never conaeut that wrong is right, or that usuroatiou and central despotism shall forever control the destinies of this country. They “accept the situation” sC far as to recognize tho binding force of the constitutional amendments and the laws, aud their obligations of obedi- anco thereto; but tiiey do not, never will, and never ought to enter into a compact of eternal silonoo, or liarter awuy the inevitable opportunity to decentralize the government, re-es tablish constitutional balances and restore the rights of the States and the libert ies of the citisen. If the Northern Democrats who ac cept the 14th and 15th amendments as finalities are in earnest, and moan what they say, thon we can have no affiliation with them, for they agree to the centralization of the govern ment, the wiping out of tho State lines, the concentration of imperial power in the excoutive, the subordi nation of the judicial and legislative detriments of the government, and the* abandonment of the writ of habeas corpus. If they aro not in ear nest, aim are really only playing a game of “make believe” with the masses, the trick is too shallow and will recoil u|Kin them with crashing effect Therefore, in either case, our true policy, as well as our safety, argue trumpet-tongued against our ming ling in the muddle. If we hold aloof from the National Convention, and preserve harmony among ourselves, we shall be in a condition to save the country by the terms of our surrender. Let the Re publicans and the Democrats of the North make their own fight in their own way, and the shiuing of the sun is not more certain than that the Sonth, being a looker on, and holding her strength in solid unanimity, can make terms advantageous to herself and propitious for the weal of the whole country. Judse Chase m the New IV- part are. The Savannah News of the 30th of June says: We publish in another column what purports to be an inter view between a correspondent of tbe New York Herald and Chief Justice Chase, in which tho latter gives the country hi-vl. t’.e subject of the “New Iteparture,” the discontent prevailing in the ranks of the Radi cal party, the politioal indiscretions of Mr. Davis, Messrs. Stephens aud Toomb's lack of influence with the Southern people, and the prospeota of the Democratic party in the next Presidential election, provided they nominate “a good man, who will com mand the popular confidence, and place him on the ‘New Departure' jilatform.” The political views thus obtruded upon the public through tbe medium of a newspaper Bohemian, together With his recently published letter to Mr. Vnllandiglinm, and other facts which have come to our notice, in duce us to believe that the “New De nurture” initiated by Mr. Vullandig- uuin is nothing more nor less than a cunningly devised scheme for forcing Judge Chase on the Democratic party as their nominee for President in 1873. It is a well known fact that a heavy pressure was brought to bear upon tho Democratic National Con vention in 1868 to secure Judge Chase’s nomination, that the New York H’orW, as the reputed organ of the bond-holders, and other professed Democratic papers of doubtful integ rity, openly advocated bis nomina tion, aud that most prominent among his supporters in the Convention was Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, to whom the defeat of Mr. Pcndloton, the Western favorite, was mainly attrib utable. From published statements it appears that me “New Departure” was no new thing with Mr. Vallan digham. He hae been contemplating the moveinout for several months, and that ho acted with the knowl edge, and in (he political interoats of the Chaso faction, rather than from convictions of expediency or political necessity, we do not doubt. At no time since tho war was there so little necessity for snob an aban donment of principle ou the part of the Democrats. The passage of the “Bayonet Election law” and the “Ku- Klux act,” had aroused the appre hension of the friends of constitu tional government of all parties, while the “Sail Domingo job,” the Sumuor imbroglio, the treatment of Secretary Cox, and the admitted im becility and reeking corruption of the Grant Administration had driven thousands from its support in every section of the country. Tho Demo crats, meeting their opponents on the recognized issues of the dav, had overeomo the Renublioan majorities in several States, the defection in the Republican ranks was bccorainggen- eral North, East, South and West, while harmony and ooncord, aud re vived confidence prevailed among the Democrats from one extreme of the Union to the other. The prospect of a Democratic victory, and the tri umph of sound Democratic Republi can principles, was never brighter. There was then, no necessity for, really no expediency in such an aban donment of principles as iB sought to lie accomplished by tho so-called “New Departure.” But ic was desi rablo to prepare a steppiug-stone for Judge Clinso to tha Presidential nom ination, and to open the way for his Radical followers, who, foreseeing the oertain overthrow of their party, as pire to positions under the new re gime. The Democrats are to be forced to accept his principles, as em bodied in tho Xlvth and XVth Amendments, after which they cannot again refuse to ucccpt him as their nominee for President. It remains to bo seen whether tho plot for cheating the Democracy out of its almost assured victory will be successfully accomplished. We trust not. There is encouragement in thought that “the best laid plans o’ mice und man, gangaft nglcc.” Popular Tamils Sealing Xlbulpnco 435.00 Saved t *35.00 Saved!
