DIRECT A Fcxv Thoughts for the Legislature The greatest difficulty the statesman has to encounter in the public service may be found in his efforta to impress great truths upon the minds of the people’s representa tives. Politico-economical questions form, by far, the most important subjects of legis lation. In their very nature they are abstruse to the general mind, and not readily compre hended by those who are unlearned in po litical science, and unskilled in the business f legislation. Wt find the proposition illustrated in the cctions we hear from many to the scheme r inaugurating a system of immigration rad t trade under the patronage of the State is not unusual to find opinions formed ong legislators upon the single, one-sided oLthe erpente—it will cost money when the State is in debt, and therefore should bo condemned. The idea seems to be that when s man is in debt he should never spend mon ey, even though it should be done in a way to relieve him of his embarrassment, or pre vent augmentation of his tronbla. Thought ful, well-informed minds take a different viewof the question. They weigh cause and effect, and l<^t to ultimate results. They can sec where a judicious investment of money, even in the midst of onei’a pecuniary troubles, may bring relief, rad even repair the for tunes that arc lost. The present condition of Georgia—her destitution of capital and rapidly diminiah- ing labor—presents one of the gravest prob lems that was ever submitted to Jtcr states men. Indeed, it is one that nothing short of true, energetic, and bold statesmanship can solve successfully. Should ignorance timidity prevail in her councils, we shall cer- inly eat the bitter fruits of our folly. Her oases within the year past, from emigrat ion _ linein production rad dept edition of taxable property, are alarm ing, and if not arrested in someway, we shall not only deteriorate as a political power, bnt sacrifice, in the elements of taxation, ten, if not a hundred times the amount it would I.■quire to apply the remedy, save the State from the effects of depopulation, rad put her again on the high road to prosperity. May we rise to the dignity of tbe occasion, rad shake off the old fogy shackles and preju dices of thejpast. A penny-wise rad peund- fooliah policy will do no better for States than it will for men. The emigration statistics of our railroads, for a few months past, are truly alarming. The data at hand are incomplete, but they are sufficient to afford sdffie conception of the rapidity with which the State ia being exhausted of its labor. One road alouc— the Western and Atlantic—took nearly twelve hundred blacks westward from Georgia farms daring the single month of Janauy, and the proportion for the present month, thus far, is even greater. It is safe to say that the loss of laborers throagh these channels, in the last sixty days, is upwards of three thousand. Add the extraordinaiy mortality with this class of our population, since the close of Ute late war, and the almost entire suspension of increase, and we have a picture that ia any thing but pleasant to the eye of the state m»n or political economist. And yet, still another item may be added: it is estimated that the white emigration from the State daring the year 1872reached fully ten thous and souls, every family taking more or tea of capital with them. These are startling exhibits, and should open the eyes of every man who feels an in terest in the prosperity of Georgia. They show that the State is fast declining in popu lation rad wealth, that lands are becoming next to worthless, that even the modicum of capital left her fencing diverted to other fields, end Sates! iwsse^effeetiTS remedy shall wisdom may suggest—which modifications I this bill carefully.

This is our view of the subject What is thus written is predicated upon the facta as stated in the article of our neigh bor, published above. A. II. 8. Atlanta Sun of yaterday. Wc are pleased to have the concurrence of our conscientious rad able contemporary in our views, as expressed in the article quoted. It will be seen that others besides The Con stitution are upon its “favorite line” of in vestigating matters carefully before coming to final conclusions on grave, weighty and complicated pnbiic questions. Also, that something of trust is due able, honest men of experience who are experts in a matler requiring pnbiic action. Mr. Stephens periiaps owes his great suc cess less to bis immense abilities than to his resolute habit of careful enquiry into all questions before taking position upon them. Men who gooff half-cocked,cither incorectly or deficiently posted on the facts, and taking aides at a tangent for popularity, will in the end find their proper eppre-iution. Time proves all things in its unerring crucible. Men, animated by a severe sense of right and conscientiously seeking the public good, may move more slowly than their less pains-taking neighbors on public matters, but as a general thing they will be found to gain in accuracy rad public good what they may lack in injurious precipitation. ^Public questions are often retarded from proper settlement by prejudice, ignorance, rad, particularly, false pnbiic clamor. False issues are made; false hues rad cries are raised to frighten men away from following the cool dictates of sound judgment. Bntthe time will come when the clamor will dis solve, the false issues be exploded, and preju dice subside. Then the truth will out, and the careful seeker for right be vindicated. There are questions of pnbiic policy con nected with these bond matters that moat be carefully rad intelligently settled. How they are to be settled a wise conscientious judgment must determine. There is a popu lar side of the matter. What we are after is to learn the right side of the matter, the side that will secure Georgia’s honor and interest. It is bootless to try to dragoon public sen timent The thinking men of the State are investigating and reflecting upon the subject The diversity of opinion is great This en sures discussion that properly conducted must bring out the real facts and do good. There are minds upon both sides of the ques tion that raise its discussion sbivc all possi ble suspicion of wrong. Such leading and able journals as tbe Sa vannah Republican, Advertiser, Macon Tele graph, Columbus Enquirer, and others, axe taking strong ground, rad r< fleeting a large sentiment in their bailiwicks. The Telegraph thus dispassionately writes No man can be so visionary and wrong headed as to donbt that credit and character are very essential to .the prosperity alike of States, communities and individuals, and that it is highly desirable to remove, if possible, every imputation upon them, even though these imputations may be founded more or less on injustice. *» Ills far more pithy an i smart than pracli catty round to say “ll the bonds are legal pay them—if not, compromise is fraud.” No man acta in that way except it may be in a clear case ottforyary. If there are forged notes or checks out he ia justified in refusing to meet them, but if he Hods obligations out contracted for him by his known agent, em ployed in his service, although the issue may be in violation of the terms of the grant of power—If this paper bears all tbe indicia of valid paper on the market; who would blame him as a business man, if he were ready to make some small concession to get that stuff out of the way ? Who would doubt that his efforts to that end were dictated by a reason able, sagacious ana honorable respect for his own mercantile standing and reputation ? Now we don’t mean to enter the lists in this matter and take a partisan position at alL Let the State do what it is best for her to do. We only exercise our usual liberty of holding and expressing an opinion in the premises. We are not in favor of any heavy or burden some sacrifice in retiring this illegal paper— nor of any step at all in the wsv of compro mise which docs not make a final end of the whole matter. It will not do to rush over this question rashly and hastily. But sound public policy requires it to be dotsly examined and jndi s e»»wljr decided. The receipts Ibis week are 120,000 ball 34,000 more than last year and 41.000 lvo» _ than two years since.

Let us say one word of Atlanta. It is dc- Washington, February 8,1873. The proceedings to-day before the Senate Committee in the Louisiana case excited the most intense interest. Warmoth rad McMillan threw a bombshell into tho camp Jof the Kellogg party, which has filled them with dismay, being nothing less than the full and complcto exposure, by their own agents, of the elaborate system of fraud and peijury on which the Kellogg Govern ment was constructed. At tho outset the Chairman calledfor the pretended returns and evidence on which the Lynch Board had based their official count. These, it appeared, had been balled for by the committee over 0 week ago, and it was charged that there was no intention to produce them. Lynch rad Bovee, the Kellogg Secretary of State rad a member of the Kellogg Returning Board, were closely questioned by Morton and Trumbull, rad neither Lynch nor Bovee gave a very satisfactory account of the papers on which the regularly elected government of Louisiana had been overthrown rad the Kel logg usurpation set up. Bovee answered repeatedly that ihe reason that he did not bring these papers under Ute subpoena dueei tecum was jbat “he did not consider them material;” rad again that “they did not amount to much.” Lynch stated that a part of these papers before their board were 1,314 affidavits from tbe parish of Plaquemines; that these papers did not come to them by the United States Supervisors of Elections, but were brought them by Mr. Jacquc3 and Mr. Syphcr, brother to the member—a fact which was found most strik ingly to dovetail with the astounding kevelations that soon followed. At this stage Governor Pinchbeck smilingly interposed the informa tion that Collector Casey and Marshal Pack ard were living on the much wanted papers; but had to confess immediately afterwards that Casey and Packard had nothing at all to do with them. Lougstreet’s name was also mixed up with these papers by this indiscreet rad unlucky barber. General Jackson, by rank Captain Jackson, was next sworn, a good-looking and youthful United States officer, who testified that he had been sum moned to New Orleans with two batteries of eigbly-six men, and had received orders to take military possession of the State House and hold it subject to the orders of Marshal Packard. He went at two o’clock in the morning rad took possession of the building, the police surrendering the premises on learn ing his orders rad purposes. The witness denied that he had seen ray one repulsed from the building; but as he had not stood at tho door where the sentries were posted could not well know to tho contrary. The object of introducing tho witness was to prove THE MILITARY OCCUPANCY OF THE STATE HOUSH. and thereby show that thc fusion Legislature, even if allowed to enter, would be acting nnder duress, and that thc United States Marshal had power to admit or exclude at his pleasure. Mr. Jacques was next called— a dark, sallow gentleman, with a bald head, apparently some fifty years of age. As Mr. Ray had not summoned this witness, who was known to be deep in the secrets of the Kellogg party, be readily divined that his presence meant mischief, and rose to object; bnt Mr. Morion decided that the witness must proceed, rad he was accordingly ex tm ined in turn by Governor Warmoth rad by the committee. Hib testimony is much the most important yet elicited. He deposed that he had acted as Deputy United States Marshal at the Mechanlq’rinstiiute when the Lcgisiataio was to meet; that Unlit*! giateg sentries were postca fet tbj door with Bar nets crossed, rad noil* wiV admitted mile the Deputy Marshal Said, ’Be was all right;” that many were excluded for about a week, but no Republicans or Colored people shut out. He was in Plaquemines parish before the election, acting as United States Super visor under Judge Dnrell, and was register in 1868 rad 1870. In the year 1870 he had is sued FIVE HUNDRED DUPLICATE REGISTRATION PAPERS, and 350 on the day of election to parties who all voted. At this stage Governor Morton seemed somewhat uneasy, bnt the witness was suf fered to proceed. He testified, further, that the total vote of Plaquemine was 1,500, of which 465 were fusion and 1,C>39 Republican. He had returned to Plaquemine by request of General Sypher, Member of Congress, to get the affidavits of all who had not voted, Sypher telling him to get all that he possibly could; that he needed 1,200. Witness went down in a “navy caunet,” got for him by Marshal Packard, in company with Judge Prescott, United States Commissioner, and found, in all,301 persons who had not voted, a good many of them saying that they did not care to vote and others being prevented by distance. Out of the 301 omy one man signed an affidavit, and Prescott was not then present, but signed 3,060 affidavits in blank at Jacques house in New Orleans. Jacques then stated with the utmost precision that he had filled up 1,313 of these affidavits, sig natures and all with the names obtained from the poll books of 1867 and 1868, many of them being “ men of straw,” and he “ did it all under We ran among the bare rocks of Lough Foyle/nntil a low black water sprite was seen approaching from the little port of MovilJe. It developed into a tender, whoso mission was to take off our Derry passengers.

Further on is thc isle of Bute; and in the afternoon, that delicious afternoon, wc come to THE FIRTH OP CLYDE, lined with villages, and watering places, and the elegant homes of Glasgow piopte. Thc vulgar passions of the table are forgotten; the be’.l rings for lunch in vain—there we stand, rarely conversing, feasting onr souls on thc delightful panorama that is passing before us. Tho loveliness of gentle hills, and tho triumphs of the landscape gardener greet us on thc one hand; on the other, we uve the redo grandeur of rock rad moun tain. tho sublimity of peaks and solitudes, amid which the story-tellers, either of real or imaginary yarns, have located many heroic incidents. We sail under the shadow —figuratively speaking—of Dumbarton Castic, in which Wallace was confined, and which is so very historic that I dare not ex plore. The Constitution is not big enough. Just past thc Castic, distant Ben Lomond looms grandly nn among the clouds—several of Bennie’s lesser relatives watching him as he does it Our bluff old Captain evidently knows a weakness of the American heart, for he points out the Marquis of Lome’s house. Perhaps I ought to say his castle, it being so much more romantic to live in a gloomy dungeon than in a comfortable habitation. Every glass of thc proud sovereigns from over the sea is levelled at it; yet neither he nor the >oor Princess, who had to take up with a darqnis, the family being large, seem to mind it much. Lorny appears to be well fixed; he has a wide front, and no doubt his lot runs back far enough to afford a garden latch in which he may probably fill up his cisure hours. The Clyde is very flue aesthetically, and so it is in an utilitarian sense. At Greenock wc begin to come to the ship-yards. Clyde-built ships may be found in every Bea, almost in every navigable water in the world. There is not a wooden vessel on thc slocks, whether it be a leviathan ship for thc great seas or a liltlo pleasure boat for quiet inland waters. What industry! What enterprise! The very stream we sail in was a shallow, tidal brook, that tho laddies of Glasgow could wade across until the dredging machines were set at work; rad now, three-thousand ton ships pass and repass with case. It is fast running to a point, however, and our marine journey will soon be ended. It really does terminate, so far as navigation is concerned, a few rods above the wharf that we stop'.at Her Majes ty’s officials search our baggage for tobacco, and then we arc permitted to set fool on thc Broomielaw—and, oh, thc joy of it! GLASGOW urea in the Kingdom. Its exterior is certainly gloomy enough to fill tho bill. Tho nave is very impressive, or rather'it impressed me strongly, for I had just embarked in the Ca- thredal business. It will take me some time to cipher out the different parts of those edi fice—the transepts, choir, crypts, etc.; but perseverance conquers all, according to the old Latin maxim. We had the good fortune to hear an excel lent sermon by its eloquent pastor, Rev. Mr. Boms. It will be borno in mind that the Presbyterian church is the established church of Scoltland, rad this building is a part of tho establishment The simple service did not lessen the effect of the lotty columns and vast spaces. Before the service we spent some time in the surrounding church-vard, reading the ancient inscriptions. Nearly the whole yard is paved with fiat-lying gravestones; ana not untrcquently the quaint sculpturings rad phraseology are badly worn away by the tread of feet Around the wall of the en closure are the graves of old families, enclos ed in iron cages—very much such ones as we would build if we owned a flock of Rocky Mountain bears. Tho corroding effects of time have nearly destroyed these monuments of the past The Necropolis forms a background for the old Cathedral, the Bridgoof Sighs over the little Molcndinar, connecting them. It is verv crowded with handsome granite mon uments. John Knox.is duly commemorated; and hero lie tho remains of the poets Wil liam Motherwell, Dugald Moore and Alexan der Rodger.

Morton and Carpenter com menced to badger this unwelcome witness, but the plain, damning story of fact went on. Bovee wrote him, “Bring down all the affida vits yon have got, as we arc{400 short.” Capt. Sypher also wrote him one or two letters to huny np the affidavi's, and Jacques accord ingly proceeded with his valuable testimony to the Lynch Returning Board, where he saw Captain Sypher, Bovee, Lynch, Longstreet, Herron rad others. He handed in the affida vits to Bovee, who remarked, “jAcquES, you’re a hell op a fellow !' To which witness replied, “Yes, George, and if you will w it till t»ia- rrow I will give yon 250 more." Subieq-eatly Bovee used to ask him “if Plaquemine was done voting yet?” General Sypher, on learning that there were 4,000 names on the registry books, told Jacques that he wanted 3,500 affidavits that the books onght to bear that. Aftcr a 1 was over Sypher told him “it was well done.’ It next appeared that this same business of manufacturing spurious affidavits was car ried on in the Rion River county, a Custom House officer going up for that purpose with $25,000 blanks, ana returning in double-quick time with tho precious spoil of 1,909 affida vits by nineteen hundred mythical ill used Africans All this business was the common talk in the Marshal’s office, and General Sypher had borne Jacques’ expenses, assoualiog to $105. Messrs. Morton, Logan and Carpenter were apparently much chafed at these extraor dinary disclosures; but the severity of thei respective^ cross-examinations did not shake a single fact stated by this witness. The Hon. Mr. Sjrpher came in with grand style, and commenced pnttiig questions to Jacques, but was soon silenced by thc state ment that he (Sypher) had been present when the ballot box wasstuffed to elect him to Con gress m 1870, and hod himself brought thc boxes for the purpose. Every effort was made by Carpenter to shov that the witness testified for a consideration; but i< appeared that he was not a volunteer witness, and that his reason for disclosi g thc truth now was A RESOLVE TO QUIT POLITICS FOR FARMING. Carpenter proved, however, by his unfor tunate cross-examination that ballot-box stuffing was a common thing with thc repub lican officials in Louisiana, rind the secret of their success. After thealturnato merriment and excitement produced by Jacques’ state ment had subsided, Mr. Baikrdale, another sgent of the Kellogg and cypher party, tes tified to having made a false report of intimi dation rad violence in respect to Tragipahoc Parish, upon which the Lynch board had displaced the fusion member and put in a man of their own. THE TESTIMONY OF THESE »WO WITNESSES was as much as Messrs. Morton and Carpen ter could stand in one day, and they conclu ded to go into secret session, but not before General Logan had gravely proposed to mu tilate the record by striking out everything relative to Sypher. The undisguised irrita tion of the committee to-day is significant as to the purpose with which, they undertook the inquiry. _ 0TA wifo of nearly ten years, having given her servant a holiday, was attending to cullinary matters herself, and, hearing her husband coming in the kitchen, thought she would surprise him as soon u ho entered thc door by throwing her hands over his eyes and imprinting a kiss on bis brow, as in the days of the honeymoon. Tho husband re turned the salute with interest, and asked, as disengaged her hand-, “Mary, Darling, where is your mistress?" The wife discharged “Mary, darling,” tbe ne$t day, and has adopted a new plan of “surprising” her hus- bsnd.—Ianwttr Xmrtit. Do not, for a moment, think that I intend to copy from thc musttei old tome wi thin my reach, thc amount of iron forged for her ship-yards, tho mortality list, the figures of her unde, or tLa extent of her diverse man ufactures. Nothing of the kind; I wish to state, simply, that it is a city of chimneys, rad consequently, of smoke. The town is constantly ■moilicraj in *- inwLy pall, wl.iu all around, tho air, fresh from thc sea or the highlands, is pure and clear. Amid tho countless stacks two quite outdo all thc rest —the one, known to fame as Tennant’s Stalk, being 450 feet high; the other, a new one, fifteen feet higher still—both carrying np among the innocent clouds thc had smells of chemical works. These chimneys mean manufactures, and the people in thc streets are corroborative proofs. Glasgow is a great busy hive of industry. I assume that you have heard about the solidity of Old-World towns. They are solidly built; and to appreciate Lite fact at its fullest one should leave our new, flimsy, mushroom towns and land in Scotland. Mind you, in Scotland, because her chief towns are built of stone, and further on you would be apt to strike streets of brick, which may be as solid, but do not look so. In this respect the town on the Clyde astonished me—no brick, no frame buildings, all con structed of a handsome sandstone, well cut and well laid. If one stays long enough abroad to get the solid character of European towns firmly fixed in the mind, he will come back almost believing that the little white frames, with green blinds, in our suburban districts, are toy houses. Years of smoke have stained the stone walls of Glasgow, hut we shall find the terraces of THE WEST-END very beautifuL It is the fashionable quar ter, and if we go out far enough, wc shall come to the West End Park. Tbe situation is very picturesque, one part being hilly in character and commanding a splendid pros pect of the city, while another part forms a finely wooded vale, stretching along the bank3 of the classic Kelvin. It is not large- only about forty acres—bnt a sweeter spot I did not find. Tbe magnificent University Buildings, not yet completed, overlook it from thc other side of tbe stream Let us cross the great stream—a long walk, it is true—and search out another park, THE GLASGOW OSEEN. On the way we may as well pass through the famous Saltmnrket, once thc abiding place of Bailie Nicol Jamie, and “many mair Bailies besides him; but alack-a day! *thow are the mighty fallen?” The civic splendor of former times is repheed by gin mills and old-clothes dealers. Thc street fairly swor.ned with the unhappy poor. It is a forerunner of Ilia large park on the Clyde. I went there on Sunday, and alas 1 the maimed, diseased, distressed bodies that lay on tho gross; the poor, ragged, dirty children, but children all the same, who know not a real home; the all-pervading senso of insurmountable poverty, intemper ance rad sin. The contrast between the ele gance of West-End and tho squalor on the Green—has class legislation anything to do with it ? So you find it over thc sea. THE FAIR While we are talking about the poor, let me mention a! subsequent stroll, thro' poverty- stricken Crownpomt and Gailowgatc, to a gathering that has no counterpart in our country. To use one of their own phrases, it is a holiday for “the working classes,” and generally last a week. Take a vacant square and fiil it with “.hows” of every de sorption, putting nround tbe outside rifle academies attended by women, penny thea tres in which fearful crimes of tbe fancy reign supreme, circuses, negro minstrels, pantomime, dwarfs and giants, wax works, fat women, animals with superfluous mem bers, and shouting cheap Jacks; in thc cen ter there shall be go-arounds, swings, weigh ing machines, galvanic batteries, and innu merable stands for the sale of cheap drinks and cheaper dishes; permeate these with a dense crowd of the weak, bad and depraved of a great city—and yon may get a faint idea of the scene. The combined side-shows of a hundred circuses would not equal it; I hope there is nothing in our favored land that would. The prices of admission rarely exc ed a penny. TUB GREAT WESTERN C30EINO DEPOTS. are a feature ot Glasgow. They are charita ble institutions, begun in 1869, and expand ing each year until now there are twenty- seven branches in full operation, visited by 10,000 pe sons daily. In company with a couple of gentlemen whom 1 met on tho steamer, I visited the one in Buchanan street. The first floor is for women; on thc next floor one may get a substantial breakfast for seven cents, and a dinner for ten cents. We went up another flight of stairs, and ordered pea soup, beefsteak, gravy rad potatoes, bread, cornflour pudding and a glass of milk—all good rad palatable except the milk which was a littio soar, rad a'lfor seventeen cents. The thoughtful observer will be sure to visit one of these public feeding- houses. I have not mentioned the great thorough fare of Scotland’s commercial metropolis— Argylc street, nor have I searched tbe guide books for descriptions of her banks, hospitals, etc.—and the more I think of it, thc more I think I will not.

Most of his living had been spent unavailingiy for medical advice and treatment rad death seemed inevitable. But in the hands of this eminent practi turner his restoration has been rapid rad complete and now he appears on the stand to tell the story of his unexpected rcsuircc- tion almost from the very jaws of thc grave. Dr. Jones is daily performing other won derful cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients even from the neighboring States. Yesterday he performed delicate and success ful operations upon two ladies for cross-eyes rad cataract, one of whom came from South Carolina to consult him. In diseases of the ear, too, he is equally skillful, and inserts tificial drums and tympanums, when that gau has been destroyed by concussion otherwise. These are very curiously and delicately framed of India rubber. Thc pub lic will be glad to learn that this distinguished physician has consented to remain a few days longer at his quarters at thc Brown House. The sick and Buffering would do well to lay their cases before him without delay. While there is life there is hope. Remarkable and Great Cure of Dia betes—(Sugar in the Urine)—By Du. J. A Jones—For nearly three years I was sick unto death with that dreadful disease dia betes—sugar in thc urine—during which time my futTeri-gs language could not describe. My disease was contracted in September, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in the employ of Col. Edmund Harrison in Mont- ? ornery, Ala., who knows of my case well. was treated by all the best physicians of the principal Southern cities; and nearly all of them gave up the case as incurable aftcr treat ing my case for weeks and months. I also tried the mountain airof Birmingham, Ala., and tried bitters and ail kinds of patent medi cines. Nothing reached my disease, or touched thc root of it, or changed my urine, which was white, and soon after being voided in the sun crystalized into sugar, had to get up every hour in the night to drink and void water. Every tbiug I ate and drank turned into sugary urine; and thus,.by ounces, I was wasted and reduced from a strong, healthy, stout man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton of 90 pounds. Forty- eight hours after I commenced Dr. Jones’ treatment, my urine changed to a natural color, with the natural odor, and in a few days my pains rad ills oil left me, and I feel as well as I ever did in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural and regular bow els, ana am c-nu:in" m, nns strength daily, but my teeth arc loose and discolored from the bad effects of the mercury, iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an ounce of medicine from Dr. Jones, and it was pleasant to take, and he never changed his remedy, and gave me but one small bottle of that, but it went to the very spot, and I and my wife bo'li saw that I was cured nud I both felt and saw it after the first twenty- four hours’ use of Dr. Jones’ medicine. I feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my bedaidc, and my disease was pro nounced incurable by so many physicians some of them staling that no person ever had been cured of diabetes.

Clarke, Ejffon Constitution : Dear Sirs—Your letter of thc 8lU instant was received this morning. On thc 0th instant, certain gentlemen of thc House addressed me a letter covering thc question propounded by you. You arc at liberty to give thc response already made to them, as also made lo you. Thc gentlemen alluded to arc Messrs. Nutting, Tutnlin, Cul ver, Felton and Duncan. With high regard, I am Yours, truly, B. H. Hill. Atlanta, February 5,1873. IIoiuB M.IHU: Sir—Upon the present Legislature of Georgia will, most probably, soon devolve the responsibility of setion in relation to some of the Bullock bonds not recognized by an act of tbe last Legislature. This actwas regard ed by tbc people of Georgia as float. Rumor has it, however, that some of our leading and best citizens arc seriously rad favorably con sidering offers which have been made in be- half.of a partial reinstatement of these bonds which we apprehend ii having its influence. Knowing, as we do, your independence of thought and speech, also your identity with Georgia and solicitude in behalf of her inter est and honor, also your thorough knowledge of this great rad vital question, iirompts us to so icit an expression of your views at as early a day as other demands on your lime will admit. Yours Truly, tA Nutting, Thomas Tumlin, Jno. L. Culver, L. M. Felton, J.T. Duncan. Atlanta, February 10,1873. Gekoleubn: Professional and other en gagements have delayed this answer to your letter of the 5:h instant, asking my views touebiug thc “Bul ock bonds not recognized by acts of tho last Legislature." In my opinion the people of Georgia havc never been under ray obligation, legal or moral, to recognize, redeem or pay any bond, debt or contract issued, authorized or entered into by what is known as the Bullock Gov ernment in Georgia. The basis of reconstruction, as declared by Congress in 186?, was that “no legal State S evern men is existed” in certain Southern tates including Georgia. The claim of anlhotrty was thitCcngrees alone hid power to provide these States with “legal State governments," rad llic purpose of reconstruction was to provide such legal State governments. Tho mesns adopted to provide such legal State Governments were thc calling of a con vention to frame a Constitution, and the (lec tion of a Provisional Legislature and Got- again ? Aud did they not take out millions more than they put in? I do not know that thc last Legislature, in recognizing a portion of Bullock’s bonds, intended thereby to recognize him as the agent cf the State. I will not decide. within six months aftcr the passage of this bill. Sec. S. Be it further provided, That thc provisions of this bill shall extend only to the purchasers of said road or tho owners j -- - - -- - v— —-— me purcuascrs ot said ro.au or mo owners thereof, at the time such bonds are presented admit that Bullock and bis Legislature were agents—acting by authority of tho will of the pcopie of Georcia.
