Advertisements for Fire Companies and Churches,
The Albany News has been an apolo
gist and a very warm defender of Mr.
Kimball, and his enterprises, from first
to last. That paper of the 10th instant
contains a long article, which is a heavy,
up-hill, struggle, to make out a good case
for the Brunswick and Albany Railroad,
and to shield Mr. KimbolL
It rejoices that the Road is completed
from Brunswick to Albany; that it is
“accomplished,” even if “under a cloud”
and still ‘-'within the coils of adverse in
terests and complicated embarrassments.”
It puts in this plea:
The legitimate obligations of the State
for tho construction and equipment of
the road, though they cover theentire.cost,
onght not, and, in my judgment, cannot,
impair her creditor increase her taxation.
When relieved of its present embarrass
ments, * * it is our solemn conviction
that it will prove a profitable investment
and save the State from loss.
* * We base our convictions npon
the square proposition that the State is
bound for nothing beyond the letter of
the law and actual expenditures. Geor
gia will not assume indebtedness created
by fraud, or recognize boudsissued with
out authority. The Road and its bonded
debt must stand upon their merits. The
Road is an accomplished fact, and cannot
be disturbed—somebody will operate it;
and, so far as the people and commerce
are concerned, it were all one that John
Doe instead of Richard Roe shall own
and run it. * * * *
If the runaway Governor lias trans-
scended his powers and issued bonds not
authorized by law, or in a way, or faster
thnn prescribed by the statute, it is the
misfortune of the unwary purchasers, for
we apprehend no sane man will say that
the State is bound by such obligations.
A forged note may be honorably resisted
in the hands of an innocent holder, by
an individual. May not a State also
honorably resist obligations conceived by
her Executive in fraud, and uttered by
forgery? She may resist, and none but
fools and knaves will name repudiation.
All of which leaves the main—the
vital question—entirely out of view.
Of course, the. State is not bound
for bonds issued in excess of the
amount due by law for the actual
itentiary for it.
If such be the case, it is not simply
“Bullock’s and the bondholders’ quar
rel,” but is a clear case of receiving and
uttering forgeries, and is equivalent to
receiving and dealing in stolen goods—
Tcnowing them to be such ! We are aston
ished at the immoral pleadings of the
News.
We have no objection to the people of
Southern Georgia having the road and
reaping all its benefits and advantages.
We [only object to the people of the
whole Stale being so heavily taxed for
local accommodation. This is all.
.GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
ELEVENTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
number of miles completed, and no
one will have the hardihood tS contend
that it is: nay, it is the solemn convic
tion of those who have carefully investi
gated the matter, that the State is not le
gally or honorably bound for a single cent
of any of these bonds, for they have all
been issued contrary to, and in violation
of law; and, if we mistake not, this point
has already been judicially established in
“ATLANTA WEEKLY SUN,” | Georgia!
But upon the hypothesis that tho State
is bound for its I indorsement npon that
portion of tho road whiih is completed,
the loss of the people of Georgia cannot
fall short of $2,000,000. The road will
never pay its liabilities; it will never
It will not only fail
to pay its bonds, bat will not be able to
pay the interest on them, as it falls due.
When this event occurs, the State must
take possession of it and sell it When
sold, it will not bring the half of the
amount of the State indorsement on its
bonds. Those bonds are payable in gold,
and the State lias indorsed for the road
When
tho road is sold, it will not bring $10,000
per mile—such, at least, is our opinion.
We venture that prediction. The re
mainder of the bonds must be paid by
the people, for which they must, all over
the State, be taxed alike—the citizens of
Rabun and Walker counties paying the
same taxes to satisfy these indorsed bonds
that the people of Albany and Bruns
wick will.
Here is the injustice to which we ob-

ceedings. Th« Capitol, sun-stroke*. Tiio pub-1 such projects, and no amount of special
pleading can sweep away this stern fact.
We are opposed to State indorsements.
Adminis-1 They ■** wrong in principle.
The News puts in this plea for Mr.
Kimball:
As to Mr. H. I. Kimball, we still have
faith iu his integrity and the honesty of
his purposes. This confidence is bused
on nearly four years of personal iutim*cy
and personal friendship
Aud after giving the Chicago fire, and
other things, as the causes of his failure,
adds:
Whether] Mr. Kimball has received
more bonds than the number of miles of
completed road calls for, as currently re
ported and generally believed, we have
uo means of knowing, and care but little,
as that is Bullock’s and the bondholders'
quarrel, not ours. We believe Mr. Kim
ball intended in good faith to accomplish
all he undertook, and had no thought of
overreaching Bullock or of plundering
Georgia. Till the contrary is clearly
shown, we shall give no credence to de
famatory rumors, and entertain no sus
picion of his complicity with schemes to
rob our people. We have reason to hope
that he will yet recover, pay off his lia
bilities and go on with the Brunswick
aud Albany Railroad.
All of which is charitable toward him
but we do nob see how such charity can
be entertained and pleaded for him pub
licly, if it be a fact, as “currently report
ed and generally believed,” that “Mr.
Kimball has received more bonds than
the number of miles of completed road
calls for!” If he has “received" bonds
in this way, he certainly has had tho

Monday, November 13.
The Senate met at 10 a. m., President
Tbahmell in the chair. Prayer by Rev.
Mr. Ketchum. The roll was called, and
the journal read and approved. •
The resolutions rescinding the resolu
tions passed at the lust session in relation
to the payment of Executive warrants,
and the 20th section of the appropriation
act, being the unfinished business of Sat
urday, was then taken up.
Senator Campbell resumed his re
marks in opposition to the resolutions.
Mr. Candler opposed the resolutions
because they are unconstitutional, as re
lating to more than one subject matter;
aud that a resolution is not of sufficient
solemnity to suspend or repeal an exist
ing law.
Mr. Reese maintained that the resolu
tion rescinded, and the 20th section of
the Appropriation Act repealed by the
resolutions are substantially the same,
and argued from the Constitution that a
resolution can have the effecc of law, if
so intended.
Mr. Brown opposed the resolutions on
the ground that the operation of a law
could not be suspended iu that way.
Mr. Hinton claimed that the resolu
tions are warranted by precedent, and
such precedents have been sustained by
the Courts; that they do not violate the
Constitution, and in the necessity for
immediate action, ought to be adopted.
Mr. Reese moved to refer the resolu
tions to the Judiciary Committee; car
ried.
Mr. Htllyeb offered a resolution to
provide temporarily for the printing of
the Senate and directing the Secretary
to make a suitable arrangement therefor:
