Uomnor Uiilloi-U's Letter to
the loiipressioiml Kit Klux
Committee.
\Ve have had on our table for a few
days, (through the politeness of Ilis
Excellency,) a copy of Governor liul-
lock's reply to certain inquiries iiiude
of him by the “Joint Select Comiuil-
too” of Congress, to “inquire into the
condition of the lab' Insurrectionary
States.”
This Committee asked the Govern
or to furnish it, with “Statements of
the debts and the rates and amounts
of taxation,” “at the present time,
and to furnish copies of the laws crea-
tiug said debts, and fixing said rates
of taxation also “copies of the elec
tion laws now in force, and those
which hare been in force * * *
since the adoption of the present
Constitution.”
The chairman (lion. John Scott)
in transmitting the foregoing requests
of tho committee to Gov. Bullock,
further requested of him a “statement
of the amount of the debt” of Geor
gia at the time the ordinance of seces
sion was passed, and the “ amount,
rates, and subjects, of taxation,” prior
to that time, “and the subjects of tax
ation now, as well as the rate and
amount.”
The Governor replies in u Icnglhty
lettor—making a pamphlet of twenty-
four pages—which is dated the 5th
inst. Our pressing engagements
hnvo prevented an earlier notice.
The Governor opens with some very
sound doctrine, taking high State
Rights ground, and denies the right
or authority of Congress to inquire or
examine into such matters, ns they
“are solely within the control and
subject to the supeervision” of State
authority. Ho denies that “there is
anything in the fact of her “late in
surrectionary condition which would
authorise Congress” to older proceed
ings toward Georgia, which would not
equally apply to other States, and asks
how such action can he justified to
ward her, which,“if attempted against
New York or Massachusetts would
be spurned by au indignant peoplo.”
lie further quotes from President
Jefferson’s first Inaugural, which is a
sound exposition of tho doctrine of
State Rights, which asserts that “the
support of the State Governments in
all their rights” is the “surest bul
wark against anti-republican tenden
cies.”
After taking this ground and pro
testing that his notion may not here
after lie set up ns a precedent, he com
plies with the requests of the com
mittee and its chairman.
Georgia's financial condition.
He proceeds to give his statements,
from which we make the following
extracts—premising the sumo with
this paragraph :
THWARTING ms EFFORTS.
By tho active exertions of a small po
litical clique, in opposition to the present
administration, aided and supported by
tlio State Trousurcr and n powerful rail
road corporation, which seeks to strangle
or absorb evory other railroad enterprise
in thoHtate, willful, malicious,unfounded,
aud unfair statements have been scattered
broadcast through tho press, tor tho
purposo of injuring, to os great nil extent
as possible, tho credit of tho State, aud
thoroby prevent tho marketing of such of
her seenritios as I liavo been authorized
and instructed to issue, and to render
leas valuable tho State's indorsement on
bonds of railroad companies. For per
sonal reasons, thcrofore, 1 am gratified
that an opportunity is given mu, by this
request, to uoko known, semi-ofBciully,
The debt of tlio State, as ]>er Comp
trailer General's report of that year, was
$3,0.18,750. The report of tho Comp
troller General, after the war-October
1C, 1865—states tbo debt at that time, of
bonds issued (anil muhorued to be is
sue-/ before the war, to bo $3,015,250; of
this amount about one million moli.uih
were issued during the war.
Bonds of the State were authorized
and issued during tlio administration of
my predecessor, Gov. Jenkins, to the
amount of Focn millions fitk hcndhkd
thousand dollars, bo tliut tho bonded
debt of the State, upon my coming into
oflico in 1308, was represented by $6,541,-
500, and tliie was tbo amount January 1,
1871.
Want of space prevents us from
making further extracts, or giving
the substance of his remarks upon
the matter of taxation, tho election
laws, anil other important matters,
which we will present to our readers
hereafter. We will only add the fol
lowing closing paragraph, in relation
to Gov. Bullock:
PERSONALLY.
X trust that I will bo cxcased the ap
parent egotism of saving of myself that
I was a citizen and slaveholder in Geor
gia long before tlio war, aud up to tho
lime of my election was actively and suc-
ces“Jully engaged in business pursuits.—
I resigned the position of President of
the Macon it Augusta Railroad Company
to ococpt tbo'oflico that I now bold. I
have no political aspiration or ambition
beyond n successful performance of my
oflloial duties i\imug this term of office.
My personal comfort and pecuniary in
terests would have been greatly increased
bail I never consented to participate in
the effort to carry out tlio Congressional
policy of reconstruction; but behoving
our interests ns a peoplo would bo for
warded by acquiescing in the inevitably
I have given my best endeavors in that
direction. I have no fault to lind, or re
grets to express, except that gentlemen
claiming high position in tho Republican
party North lack tho moral cotirago to
sustain the results of their own acts.
Respectfully,
Rufus B. Bullock,
Governor of Georgia.

It seems Ions unfortunate that the

Dr, lileilsoe’s Address—Social
Promenade, Etc.
July 20.
At 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon an
immense concourse assembled at the
village church to hear the crowning
effort of tho occasion, Dr. Bledsoe’s
address before the Few and Phi Gam
ma Societies. A number of persons
knowing of his reputation as a phil
osopher, critic and metaphysical es
sayist, expected an elegant, inspired,
profoundly logical, unattractive dis
quisition on government, such ns
could not lie appreciated by the ’or
polloi. Blit imagine the surprise and
pleasure of every person, when with
the profoundest philosophy, he chain
ed the attention and won the np-
pluiiieof that mixed audience. The
Doctor’s subject was
PLATO AND ARISTOTLE
os the representatives of their respec
tive philosophies, Spiritualism and
Materialism; Spiritualism as synony
mous with Radicalism or visionary
speculations, and Materialism as sy
nonymous with material science as
founded on direct experiments, the ex-
pcriencc of ages, and close observation
and study of mankind. The South,
he said, vvaB to-day writhing and
groaning under the desolating errors
of Platoism.
He reviewed the philosophy of
Plato and his disciple, Rousseau, and
compared it with Unit of Aristotle
and liis disciple, Montesquieu, showed
the deficiencies of both, and demon
strated that only that, system of gov
ernment was perfect which combined
the excellencies of both, lie said
that the great defect iu the polities of
Jefferson and Rousseau was the utter
repudiation of tlio teachings of Chris
tianity as a part of a political system.
The Doctor spoke of Aristotle as
the forerunner of Christ in the sphere
of social relations and duties, and
that Christ in his Christian philos
ophy was the only one who combined
the speculations of l’luto, and the ex
perimental philosophy of Aristotl
into one perfect system, a source from
which all good governments draw
their laws and constitution.
Tho effort was considered by many
ns a masterly production of a master
mind, and by President Smith was
pronounced the ablest of the kind he
nnd ever heard.
Dr. Bledsoe will publish the ad
dress at an early day in the Soulhcrn
Review, of which ho is editor.
In the evening all the young ladies
and gentlemen proceeded to the Soci
ety Halls, where they indulged in a
social promonade. It was a magnifi
cent assembly of lovers, beautiful in
tlieir disorder, blest in their fascina
tion, and forgetful of all save them
selves (and one more) and the para
dise of which they were the happy
inhabitants.
Wo talked nil night
’Till broad daylight,
and went home with the gir(s in the

consequently had some leisure for ob

cultivated and refined people. They

learning, refinement and Christian
piotv. To them all, and particularly
to the honored l’resincut of tho Cof-
lege, wo return our sincere acknowl
edgments for their kind attention du

tor of the evening was Mr. J. O. An

.1 Rat fit of Balltroael Talk.
The following is famished by a well-
posted railroad man: The Texas Pacific
Railroad Company has adopted tho three
foot guage, subject to tbo approval of tho
Secretary of the Interior, who must de-
cido whether that guago is a first-class
rood. Tho controlling advocate of this
guage is Thomas A. Scott, of the Penn
sylvania Central, who is building the
Deuver k El Paso road. If the Texas
Pacific adopts the three foot guage, then
all the business from the Pacific coast
will naturally branch off at El Paso, across
to Denver and over Scott’s road, and on
to tho Union Pacific, which road will
soon be in the hands of tho Pennsylvania
Central
This is a sharp manoeuvre of Railroad
King, Scott, os it makes him, with tho
Union Pacific and Pennsylvania Central,
independent of the Central Pacific, which,
while Hunnington lives cannot be ab
sorbed by the Pennsylvania Central.
The movement is not likely to meet
with favor in Texas, as it virtually takes
away from the Jin o all the through busi
ness of tho Southern Pacific; besides, it
is seriously questioned whether a three
foot guago is wide enough to economi
cally and conveniently carry the light,
bulky cotton freights of tho South and
tho stock of Texas. It is generally con
ceded that the present guage of roads in
this country is too wide, but “is not three
foot ex*r»*ino the other way,” is asked.
Colonel Mann, who is building the
Mobilo and Northwestern Railroad, ad
vocates a four foot guago for all roads
South, ns adapted for the demands, and
as combining cheapness in construction
and operation. He says light rails and
rolling stock can bo used on that guage
as well as on the three foot, and greater
room aud rpend can be secured.

system. Tho Lords were deeply moved,
hut decorous.
Iu tho Houso of Commons the aston
ishmont, anger and uncertainty were ill-
concealed. Tho Tories were confounded,
and their lenders puzzled to suggest what
action should bo takeu. It was an event
they were hardly prepared for, uotwith
standing obscure foreshadowings in tbo
Standard of yesterday and to-day. The
opinion of all is that the action of tho
Ministry is bold and oven desperate, and
popular feeling is led to anticipate far-
reaching consequences in a democratic
sense.
A passenger express train from Mon
chcBtcr for London ran off the track and
seriously injured several persons.

Paiub, July 20,—Gambctta, daring
For tlio Atlanta Daily Sun.
Got. Bullock's Comparison of
the Expenditures of his Ad
ministration with that of Gov.
Jenkins,
E ono its Daily Sun: In his letter
to the Ku-Klux Committee, Gov.
Bullock attempts to make a showing
in liis own favor by instituting a com
parison between Gov. Jenkins’ ad
ministration and his own. In this
lie utterly fails when tho facts are
presented in their true light.
Separating the two years, tho ac
count stands thus:
Uullock’B expeudituro. for IS60 $1,837,825 08
Jenkins’ expenditures for tho last ton
months of hid admiaistration 271,115 50
Bullock’s average expenditures per mouth 154,818 83
Jenkins’ average expenditures per mouth 27,114 55
Bullock’s monthly average moro than
Jenkins’ 327,704 28
Which shows Bullock’s average ex
penditures per month over six times
greater than Oov. Jenkins.’
The other period of comparison is
equally fatal to Bullock when the
whole truth is told. In this period
Jenkins paid on account of pub
lic debt alone, being for State bonds
that fell due during the war, $1,290,-
264 84. Gov. Bullock paid on ac
count of public debt only $495,C07 75.
Furthermore, tho State Road was
nearly ruined during the war; bridges
and depots were burned, and the track
and rolling stock were in very bad
order. For repairing, putting in or
der, equipping tho road, and build
ing depots and bridges, Governor
Jenkins had to make provision out of
the Stato Treasury, which enter into
the account that Governor Bullock
charges against him. Jenkins also
had to purchase corn for the “ desti
tute of tho State.” Bullock had to
provide for none of these things out
of the State Treasury.
Bullock docs not oharge to liis ac
count any of the six million dollars
($6,009,000) new State bonds lie had
engraved in 1870.
Bullock says, “ I resigned the po
sition of President of tho Macon and
Augusta Railroad Company to accept
the office I now hold.” The truth of
that affair is this: Bullock was anx
ious to get said position, and represent
ed to tho Stockholders aud Directors
of the road, that if they would elect
him President, his position as Ex
press Superintendent, would enable
him to make superior financial ar
rangements for the road in raising
funds in New York. He was elected,
made the effort to raise the money
and totally failed to raise the first
dollar. This is why ho “resigned."
