GOOD GOVERNOR || General Gordon, Georgia’s Gov 'fluor has demonstrated the wisdom I the people of the State in elect ing him as their chief executive, tie has shown on every occasion »ce his election that he looks after gjeir welfare constantly. In grati ing the desires of the honored JM upright who have endeavored show their appreciation of him, yet finds time to listen to the Kpeals for mercy from the poor Unfortunates, as well hs the low and iigraded convicts paying the pen* Jity of their crimes. ; tn a recent interview with a rep tentative of the Atlanta Consiitu Bin the Governor made some &tements in regard to the convicts I the penitentiary that is viewed I|th the greatest horror by the pod people of our State. One of if e statements was that there are j-ix er six hundred applications for ®rdon now awaiting bis consider*- ' >ns, and of these six hundred he not a shadow of a doubt that p ore than one in five ought to be i rdoned aud turned out. He called • tentiou to cases of men being i ’hfined for years who are innocent the crimes charged against them, ’idence having been brought to •ht since their conviction to es blish the fact of their innocence. Wants a Board of Pardons eated to assist him m examining p applications for pardons, and j?s it is a question which the ’ ople of Georgia shoxld consider f refully, and aid him in the desire > find some means to remedy these wrongs. ' This state of affairs does not eak well for toe past admiuistra n of justice in the Georgia mrts. The Governor in his firsf message the Legislature suggested needed forms in the penitentiary system t that body failed to act on bis .•geation. It is impossible for the lyernor to remedy the evils iDted out without assistance even he devoted the remainder of his rm to this matter alone, and the Ate commits an outrageous crime try day one of its citizens is justly deprived of his liberty, io people of Georgia are with the ivernor and they are practically aoimous in demanding th it the gislature take some action to as t him in removing the foul stigma kt overclouds their State.

New York. OORRKSFOHDEKOI. Law Orricz or a. h. Macdonbll) 118 Brvan Bt»*bt, V Bavannsh, Ga., March 23, 1887. ) To the Patter, Officer i ants Rembert of Bethel A M. E. Church. At the instance of your late Pas tor the Rev. C. P. Johnson, I make the following statement in regard to the financial affairs of your church in which I took a part. Understanding last fall that there were a number of small debts pressing upon the church, some of which were quite urgent and an noying to the pastor, and that it waa deemed bear to secure some loan which would pay off these debts and which could be repaid in easy installments. I advised him, as also did the Hon. Wm. 1). Harden, Judge of the City Court ot Savannah, that it would be necessa ry to have the church incorpora ted, as required by your discipline Accordingly, at the December term of the Superior Court, Bethel A. M. E. church was incorporated with the following named as incor porators: Lewis Hudgins, Francis McCants, Hardtime Pyatt. James Wills, P. H. Landreth, Frank Smoyer and Morris Tyson. The Southern Mutual Loan Asso- 1 ciation ot which Judge Harden is secretajy, was the only Association that would lend the money and at the request of Judge Harden. I prepared the necessary papers for the Association he being too much occupied in holding Coart to attend to the same- He requested me also to see that the church corporation was properly organized, and the requisite formalities attended to. With that view I was present at a meeting of your church confer ence in December 1886 at which, these matters were stated, discuss ed and harmoniously approved. At the same meeting the church hb a corporation was formally organized as required by law, under i*s char ter, and a resolution wan adopted directing its president and secretary to execute and sign the papers re quired by the Loan Association, I attended to these matters myself, read and explained the papers to the brethren present, and with one consent they unanimously approved the steps, and joined in it. At that time I never heard or knew that any man disapproved in any way of it.’ It was the united action ot the church, and ever}’ man present was responsible and is bound tor it. Io seek dow to shift the responsibili ty upon huv <»ne man Would be highly unjust. The loan was there fore effected, and at the request of the Loan Association. I peisunally attended to the disbursement of the monev raised and saw that the list jof dents furnished me by Major I Hardee Trea-nrer of the L an As I social on was paid off. A list ot those debts, together with receipts and vom-ber* was furnished by me to the officers of the church and is now in their hands. I am of the opinion that it was for the best interest of the church o have procured the loan and th t the debt of the church is so fixed that it can be easily met as it sale due, if the church will be true to its duty Respectfully yours A.
