to put it in ordor. Therefore, I have no
hc-Hitaucjr iu hsyiug that it will never
be returned in a* bud condition as we re
ceived it.
In view of these facts, I have never,
for n moment, doubted thnt as a lessee I
am rendering to the people of Georgia
ry best service which I could render,
Tbat the Htate has mode a “good thing"
by tho lease, is apparent from the fact
that tho monthly routal of #25,000 a
month—#500,000 a year -is promptly
paid, whereas tho Htnto derived nothing
from tho road under Blodgett's adminis
tration, but on the contrary waft involved
in debt on account of it; uud tho iucomo
derived from his predocosuors of late
yeura wus always precarious, sometimes
outirely minus, and never adequate or
reliable. A rental of #200,000 a year will
in 20 years pay into tho Htuto Treasury
$6,000,000, or more than the road is
worth, aud the loHseesaro bound to return
it to the Htate, at tho cud of that time, in
as good condition un when they took it.
Computing tho $6,000,000 in yearly pay
ments to bo equal to only $5,000,000 rush
still that is probably more than tho Htate
could now realize from tho salo of the
road for cash or on short tirno.
Taking this practical, “dollar and cents'
viow of tho lease as it exits, wo are not in
favor of its distuibunoe hy the Leyislature.
Whatovor rights the Hoago company, or
other third partien may have, tho oourts
can pass upon ; uud if corruption can bo
proved, as betweou the late Htate officials
and the lessees, the Legislature can as
well expose aud punish it without uuuul-
ing tho lease as by disturbing it.

lieve. in all tho people <le<#iie, and I must
be tt.ai.sAsd of the contrary before I sh»U
either fear the clamors or yeld to the p«r-
sccutiona of the political ring, who, with
out curing what becomes of tha road in
tho future, seek to perpetuate strife upon
this question. It tbe present General
Assembly, who were not elected upon
tt.u question, but wore really elected be
fore the lease was made, hhould think
proper, in violatio^^f the wishes of their
constituent*, cithuBb attempt to set aside
the lease or involve the Htate or company
in litigation, I ahall expect to make the
quest ion before their constituents iu a
tangible form and let it be decided by the
voters and tax-payer*, whether they de
sire cither a disturbance of Che presont
arrangement, that is working well, or the
return of tho road iuto tho political vor
tex that will destroy its future incomes
and iuvulve tbe Stato in hoavy liability
on its account. Of coarse if they ap
prove of litigation or diaturbance of tbe
present arrangement, the people will re
elect their present agents; if they do not,
they will drive from power those who
have attempted to put in jeopardy their
best iuteHust*, for the purpose of serving
private ends in the nse of this great
Statu work.
Ah a member of the Goneral Assembly
you have doubtless considered tbe expense
of this undertaking. At the time wa
took eburgo of the road, $500,000. was
sriked for by the then Superintendent, out
of the State treasury, to put it in repair,
and we have found, by experience, that it
was not au over estimate; indeed, we
have already expended more than that
amount in the purchase of new engines
anil new cars, iu the rebuilding and re
construction of those that we found upon
the roud, und in the purchase of new iron;
and we have not yet brought the road np
to flrat-clafta condition. We have incur
red a heavy debt iu bringing it ap to a
where it now is, aud you will very
priutions must be made to tiuatatb It U Re
side, the Htate and Federal Courts in T«b~
uoAHee might not see lha propriety of Al>-
poiutiug such a receiver. Yon wtu Man

iu tho way of the revolutionists who atn-
attempting to tear down the lease in defi
ance of otir rights and the popular wish. ^
A word tn referenda to tbe futnre of the
road. My hope has been from tbe start,*
that after appropriating tbe taeomes ot *
few years of tha first part of the lease, to
tbe re-building, repairs and Moonitriefioa
of it, the lessees would ultimately be aMn
to uirtke a reasonable profit for tbeir risk,
toil aud expenws. I still hope so, but
from my knowledge of the affairs connec
ted with tho roud, I see no pitoepnct at
l.*rgo ret uri a to the lessees in ffitniw.
Tho computing line# that are springing up
arouud uh will ultimately greatly damage
the Western aud Atlantic Railroad prop
erty. Efforts are put forth, under the
leaho by railroad ineu of experience to
extend long linen into tha West and con
trol freights for this route. It ia very im
portant to maintain a through Hue be
tween the city of Ht. Louis and the city of
Atlanta, controlled by those in the inter
est of Atlanta and of the Georgia lines of

W. Road, which connects the two last
named roads running from the city of
Nashville to tbe Miasisaippl river, and -
completes our ooutrol of the whole line
between Atlanta and Ht. Louie, has been
purchased by those who are friendly to
snd connected with tha lessees of the

were favorable to tbo company who made

readily see, if we should snrrender the
road, that you bare no right to the new
eugiues or the new cars, or new iron, that
have been bought with oar money. Ail
that you have a right to demand is that
we return it in jnst such condition OS we
found it on the 27th day of December,
187u. What will be tb* result? Yon
must at one* appropriate from tb* Treas
ury of th* Stato at least ffSOO,MJO to pot
the road up into such working eooditton
as we now have it. and whan you torn it
over again into tbe hands of politicians it
will not be long until yen will bo Tory
likely to have to appropriate another
$500,000, unless yon plate a man at tb*
head of affairs in th* Htate who would
manage it in sooh a mount r as to mok* it
a success. I believe I may s*y, withoot
boasting, that 1* wo* my good fortune in

truthfully, that I have paid into th*
traasnry th* rental promptly every month
since I have ran it a* a lees**, bnt it can
not be said tbat tbs same is trna anda*

therefore, make up yout mind, when you

ohonees for monthly payments into tb*

Again, a porfion of the Isaaasa and

known an the Knoxville and Kentucky

out to Coni Greek coal mines, iay forty
miles, with a charter running through to

map for a moment, must aaa that tha
building of a road from Wallialia, H. 0.,

to Cincinnati, would cat off from the
Htuto Road aud tba Georgia Road, and
the other roads connected with thia Una,
