Also, the Western and Atlantic Railroad (value not
to be put upon the game by the Comptroller or Trea
surer). However, the books of this office show that
this road paid in the Treasury, as net earnings, In
1869, $420,000; 1860, $450,000; 1861. $438,000; 1862,
$440,000; 1863, $1,650,000.
All the above “assets” may be considered as good,
and almost at par in United States currency, except
tbe bank stock. But as no returns have been made
to this office by the banks for the year 1866, there is
no data upon which I can make a correct estimate of.
its value. Considering the large amount of State
bonds held by the b«nks, which were repudiated by
the Convention, together with loesea in Confederate
securities and bonds, the estimate of assets in bank
stock must be at a low valuation. The report of D.
Macdonald, the able and efficient Treasurer of the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad, shows that the people of
Georgia, by whom most of the stock oi this road ia
owned, have not lost faith in its ultimate success. The
losses of the road during the last two or three years
have been very heavy, but by the good management
and energy of its officers, most of its former lines of
communication have been reopened, and the road pat
in good running order. Also, an important breach
of thirty miles has been built, openiug communica
tions with the richest portion of Florida, end with a
line of Gulf steamers from Mew Orleans, thereby con
necting the East aud the South wosL This road has
already added much to the real wealth of the southern
portion of Georgia, and doubtless will 1m a greet
thoroughfare of travel between Mew York and Mew
Orleans. The further extension of the road will be
continued, and its early completion to Alabama is
now anticipated. A sufficiency of tbo stock having
been taken, as required by law, the State has br*eu
called upon and has paid her thirteenth instalment,
amounting to $134,5iiU; and we have every reason to
hope that the road will soon become a source of reve
nue to the State. Owing to the very heavy losses sus
tained by the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from the
destruction'of its track, ro ling stock, bridges, depots,
etc., by the Confederate and United S aids armies, no
revenue has been derived from this source for tile
fiscal year 1866, the road having paid into the Treasury
only $75,000, and drawn thereiroui $383 724 40, for
completion of repairs; showing a balance aga.nst the
road of $308,724.40. While the future prosperity of
this road cannot be doubted, it seems to me that there
are no substantial grounds to justify tbe estimate that
the same amount of revenue oan be anticipated from
this source as accrued to tbe State prior to the late
war, for at least one or two years. There ia no doubt,
however, that with propitious seasons and a few abun
dant harvests, tue business of the road, in tbe course
of time, will be increased, and as large, or larger
monthly net earnings declared than at any time here
tofore. . Other lines of railroads, which are dee lined to
be feeder* of the Western A Atlantic Railroad,will,it ia
confidently believed, be completed at an early day,and
add a new species of business, by opeuing a ready
market to the inexhaustible si te quarries of the west
ern portion of the State. We nave but to wait patient
ly the developments of a few years to see our fondest
hopes fully realized, when this road will again become
the chief element of the financial operations of the
State.
PUBLIC DEBT.
The following statement of the public debt of the
State, in bonds, has been kindly furnished by OoL

Section 8th of an a*'t approved March 12, 1866, pro-
rides that the following bonds, together with coupons
past due, are to be founded in mortgage bonds:

Of the entire bonded debt of cLe State, amount-
lag to $5,706,600.00, $2,676,500.00 is in old
b ,nds, the first of which fall dne in 1868, and
annually thereafter up to 1872, in such amounts
as render the payment quite easy. It would
be well to note that in 1872, |$721,800.00 of thue
bonds fall dne, and unless some arrangement is P"** 1 *
ously made to meet this heavy demand, there ^iU be
some trouble; this being disposed of, our dwedebt
can be easily managed. Since, to meet tW* debt, ana
to pay interest on the same, the State which
may be safely eetimated at $1,000,001*60,also the west
ern aud Atlantic Railroad, which aejerjl years
paid an interest of over 6 per c<“£ “to the Treasury
on £7 000.000 00, and was vali*** by a committee ap-
polntedbyihe Legislature *n 1862 at *7,849.224.68

over $200,000,000.00 exclusive of Railnad, Banking,

lfnnir that ^ the tace of repudiation by the Conven
tion of a of*® Patt of the State’a indebtedness, that
h.r cr-nt ia almost unimpaired, and her new bonds,
—hiai only a few months since were selling at ninety
,ynta, are now bringing ninety-seven and a hall, and
rill doubtless be at par in a short time. Even with
our heavy losses of property, with a moderate tax. If
favored with a few propitious seasons and good crops,
by curtailing our expeditors# and adopting a oinking
fund sufficient to pay the interest, and a small part of
the principal annually, we can pay the State debt with
out feeling tbe least pressure. The financial affitlrs of
Georgia have been, and may atili.be so
to enable our people to say *’ that they pay a
tax tban those of any other State in the Uuton.

It will tbits bo aeeu that only a auiall margin ia left
for oxtra appropriations after the ordinary expendi
tures of 1867 have been paid, and new sources if
revenue ehould be opened before suy such should be
made, Sound policy dictates that-the receipts and
disbursements should be so arranged as to enable
the State, Instead of increasing, to reduce her in
debtedness annually. To do this, either strict econo

The returns, aa exhibited iu the above "Abstract
from the Tax Digest of 1866,’’ are, it must be admit
ted, at exceedingly low figures, and, 1 am compelled
10 believe, not at stair valuation; but oontadaring the
unsettled condition of the country, and especially th.
ohange of labor lrom aiave to free, I do not doubt that,
in moat instances, tbe people have made tbeir returns
in good faith. Every effort was made to ensure full
and correct returns: but owing to tlie want of mail
facilities, and the inexperience of Tax Receiver.-, f
lee! that I have been partially successful. Aa re
quired by law, every "Tax Digest" has been care,
fully examined, and number of errors corrected,
most of which being of minor importance, the actual
a.turns have been affected not little. From some
ae, which I am 0—">» *» discover, the "Tax Di-
ts’* of Up —unties of McIntosh, Rebuu, aud Ware
not been received, though several letters oi
inquiry to tbe Receivers representing the aforesaid
counties bars been received. Therefore, all of my
estimates have been made independent of those coun
ties, tbe returns of which would not have affected the
general result but to a small extent, as they would nut
have exceeded one milliou of dollars, in my opinion.
Should our people be left undisturbed, an increase in
tbe returns of the ensuing year over those of this
may be confidently expected throughout tbe whole
btate.
STATISTICAL XABLSS.
Accompanying this Report, are a number of tables
giving tbe values of the different items of proparty,
together with other items of interest, aa returned on
the ‘’Digests” of 1660 and 1866, showing the increase
or doer ease for each county, and ia the State, since
1860, of which the fallowing synopsis is given:
Mr. Tuwer also offered ite following re
solutions:, ..
Whereas, since the laff session of tbe
General Assembly unforeseen occurrences
have transpired in the disptnaation ot an all
wise Providence, in that be has parched oar
fields and blighted our crops, aud the honest
and never more honest effogsof the husband -
man have been very unsuccessful; and where
as, the people of the State iave been in great
fear lest creditors should, w*h the strong arm
of the law, seize the little pioperty remaining
since the disastgys of tbe war; and whereas,
further, this fear has cause! the people of
many counties to assemble it relief meetings
to give expression to their wishes and incli
nations, and also to instruct their legislators
in regard to their desires and necessities,
which is eminently legitimate. Be it therefore
Resolved, by the General Assembly, That
the unfortunate condition ef the people is
fully appreciated by their representatives.
Resolved, secondly. That it is the sense of
the Legislature that the rights and interests of
both debtor and creditor shoald be equally pro
tected, and that while the debtor should
keep sacred his contracts, the creditor shoald
not in the present impoverished condition of
the country force to sell the property of poor
but honest men, and earnestly recommend
that both classes of citizens act in the spirit
of the golden role, of “Doing to others as
they would wish that others under eimiler
circumstances should do to them.”
Resolved, thirdly, That the General Aa-
sombly mold MopMitfnlly point to th# ex
ample of the Northern merchant, magnanim
ously adjusting his claims with the Southern
debtor, as worthy of tbe emulation of South
ern people in compromising tbeir own
and that such an equitable compromise ran
be effected more satisfactorily by the debtors
and creditors themselves than by legislative
action.
Resolved, fourthly, That we atill hare an
abiding confidence in tne integrity of tbe
people of tbe State of Georgia, and that they
are determined to maintain unsullied their
good name at home and abroad, if they am
permitted so to do.
Mr. Van Duzer—A bill to facilitate and
render less costly the effecting service of
bills in equity.
A bill to amend the law in regard to. at
tachments and baiL
Mr, Daley—A bill to abolish County
Courts.
