The report, of the Commissioners of the
Macon and Brunswick Road, herewith sub
mitted. shows that lor the twenty-two months
beginning December 1, 1876, and ending
September 30. 1878 the total earnings were
$631,911 71). and the total expenses $554.-
302 47, leaving as net earnings for that pe
riod the sum of $77.5.VJ 32. Of this amount
$0.7.000 lias been paid into tlse State Treasu
ry. Of the expenses $37,035 74 were paid
cm matters not chargeable to current ex
penses. This, added to the net earnings,
would make the sum of $114.5:0 06 over the
actual cost of running the road. The road is
in good condition and the limited motive pow
er in fair order.
NORTH AND SOUTH, AND MHMPIIIS BRANCH
RAILROADS.
During the administration of Governor
Smith, the North and South, and the Mem
phis Branch Railroad Companies, having fail
ed to pay the interest upon their State in
dorsed bonds, said railroads, and all the pro
perty of said companies, were seized and
taken possession of by t3e Stale.
Under the discretion ve.ste i in the Govern
or by the' act granting aid to said companies,
and in pursuance of an executive order of
date July 26, I*FT. the North and South
Railroad was sold in tiie city of Columbus,
on the first Tuesday in September next there
after, for the sum of forty thousand live hun
dred dollars. The purchaser at sai 1 sale
failed to pay the amount of his hid : and hav
ing received an offer from Louis F. Garrard
and others of said city, to take said road and
other property for the sums so hid at said
sale, if time were allowed for the payment, I
deemed it for the best interest of the State to
accept the same.
Accordingly a deed has been executed by
the Governor in behalf of the Stale, convey
ing to the said Louis F. Garrard and his as
sociates all the property and franchises of
said North and South Railroad Company. In
consideration of said conveyance the ; nrehas
ers agree to pay to the State, on the Ist da}'
of January, 1884, the said sum of forty thou
sand five hundred dollars; and, also, to pay
to the Treasurer of Georgia, semi-annually in
advance, interest on said sum at the rate of
seven per cent, per annum until said princi
pal is paid. They further agree to expend
within twelve months from the date of sai 1
conveyance, the sum of twenty thousand dol
lars upon the extension and equipment of
said road.
Under the term-, of said deed the State
holds a prior lien upon the property convoyed,
and also upon all the property that may be
added thereto, and expressly reserves* the
right to seize and resume possession thereof
upon the failure of said pur Lasers to pay the
principal, or any part of said interest, within
days after the same may become due
In accordance with said agreement the sum
of $2,835 interest on the amount of said pur
chase up to January 1. 187:), has been paid
into the State Treasury.
In pursuance of an Executive order issued
June 6. 1877. tho property of the Memphis
Branch Railroad Company, except its fran
chise, road bed, and tbe bridge across the
Oostanr.ula river, was exposed for sale in the
city of Rome on the first Tuesday in August
next thereafter, and was bid off by the Maii
etta and North Georgia Railroad Company
lor the sum (if nine thousand dollars. Said
last named company being unable to pay the
amount of said bid in cash, I consented, in
behalf of the State, that payment of said sum
should be deferred until the first dav of Jan
uary, 1881—the company, in the meantime,
paying interest thereon, annually, at the rate
of seven per cent, per annum. Said sum of
nine thousand dollars will he retained l>v the
State from the proceeds of the hire of convicts
for the year 1830, which proceeds have been
annually loaned to said company' by an act
of the General Assembly approved February
21th, 1877.
NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD.
In January of the present year I gave the
State’s indorsement upon the first mortgage
bonds of the Northeastern Railroad to the'
amount of $260,000, this being $5,500 per
mile for forty miles. By act of the General
Assembly, approved October 27. 1870. the
State’s guaranty was pledged to this road
upon the completion of each continuous twen
ty miles to the amount of $15,000 per mile.
The act of the General Assembly, approved
February 25, 1874, repealing the acts grant
ing the right to such guarantees as this, ex
cepted all eases where the right had vested.
The same General Assembly that passed this
lepealing act, by express resolution, approved
March 3, 18 1 4, declared that the said repeal
ing act did not apply to the Northeastern
Railroad, its rigid having vested. A board
of skilled railroad commissioners, consisting
of John 11. Rowers, John A. Grant and Chas.
1. Wallace, was appointed by’ Gov. Smith,
oil application of the railroad company, to in
spect the road, and reported January 9, 1877,
That over forty miles of said road were com
pleted, equipped and in running orfler, and
tiie cost of said road was $541,200. more than
half of which amount was the investment of
private capital. They also reported the road
free from legal incuml ranees that would en
danger the security of the State.
Upon my installation in office the company
applied to ine for my indorsement of the
bonds of the road in conformity with the law.
While the company presented a stiong ease
lor indorsement, in view of the disasters con
nected with similar enterprises where State
aid was granted, and of my own opposition
to the policy of State aid, 1 used great de
liberation in my action. I advised the com
pany to bring the subject before the General
Assembly, then in session, but the session
was too near its close to permit its decisive
action. In the repealing act of 1874. seetion
2d has this provision, viz.: “Should any of
said companies claim that they have a vested
tight to such ai 1. and apply for the same to
tllue- Governor, any citizen of the State mav
interpose by oill to restrain the company, and
blue question of whether said vested right ex
ists shall be for the court to determine/’ 1
suggested to the company to have the right*
(if the company tested under this provision in
tiie courts, and in consequence a bill of in
junction was filed by William S. Morris to
restrain, the -company, the proceeding being
Instigated by the company. The Attorney
General was instructed to support the injunc
tion. The Supreme Court decided that it had
no jurisdiction in the ease, and referred the
matter to the Governor.
'SliQ'Stibjcet thus finally falling to niv de
cision, tgnvc-it thorough consideration. The
statements of the officers and leading mem
bers of the General Assembly of 1874, that
passed the State aid repealing act and decla
ratory resolution that tiie Northeastern Rail
road was excepted from the repeal, were ob
tained and referred to me. They declared
that it was the express and general intention
of the Legislature not to apply the provisions
of the repeal of State aid to the Northeastern
Railroad. Among those who thus wrote were
lion. L N. Trammell, President of the Sen*
| ate, lion. A. O. Bacon, Speaker of the House ;
lion. T. J. Simmons, Chairman (if Finance
Committee of the House ; Hon. G. F. Pierce,
Jr., Chairman of the House Judiciary Com
mittee; lion. George A. Mercer, pro tern.
Chairman of same committee, and the Hon.
Henry 1). McDaniel, of the Finance Commit
tee. In addition to this, the opinions of some
•of the ablest, lawyers were given the Governor,
notably among them Hon. Robert Toombs,
Gen. A. R. Lawton, and ex-Chief Justice Jos.
E. Brown, arguing the endorsement of the
bonds as a legal duty.
Even then, in the exercise of caution, I de
termined to defer action on the matter until
the meeting (if the present General Assembly,
if it could he done without a serious sacrifice
to the interests involved. it was represent
ed to me that, upon the pledge of the endorse
ment of its bonds by the State, the company
had incurred an indebtedness of $237,632 97.
It was further exhibited to me, by a tran
script of the record of Clarke Superior Court,
that this amount of claims was already in
suit against the road, and that judgment
therefor would be entered up at the February
term. 1873, of said court. I endeavored to
impress upon the attorneys and officers of the
company that they must not look to the State
for relief from their present embarrassment,
but that they should, by negotiating a loan < r
raising the money by some means, tide over
their trouble until t he Legislature could meet
and consider the matter. It was not until 1
had become fully satisfied that all hope of re
bel from other sources was abandoned, and
that the whole property of the company would
inevitably be sacrificed under the Sheriffs
hammer, that I decided, within two weeks of
the judgment term of the court, to inter
fere.
I was satisfied that the faith of the State
was pledged to the endorsement of the com
pany's bonds, and becoming further satisfied
that great and remediless injury would befall
the company if such indorsement were longer
withheld, my sense of official duty left me no
alternative but to give it.
As to the propriety of my conduct in this
matter, I invite the most rigid scrutiny of the
General Assembly.
The road is doing well, and there is every
prospect that it will meet its obligations and
save the State from any loss on account of
tlie guaranty of its bonds, while it will con
tribute largely in developing a fine portion of
the State.
In connection wjth this subject of State aid,
it may be proper to say that application was
made to me to ascertain whether the State’s
indorsement would he given to the bonds of
the Griffin. Monticello and Madison Railroad,
and it was urged that its right had vested
before t lie repeal of State aid. This road was
not specially excepted by the General As
sembly. nor was there any evidence that it
intended to except this road, nor was it ex
posed to immediate hazard, as was the case
with tl'.e Northeastern Railroad. I, there
fore, declined to give the State's guaranty,
and advised the reference of the matter to the
General Assembly. *
conclusion.
Upon a calm review of the condition of the
State—her credit abroad—her resources—
wonderful productive power—-the general sa
lubrity'of our climate—the almost limitless
range of our valuable staples, and the energy,
enterprise, admirable moral tone and intel
lectual balance of our people, we have the
strongest reasons for our hope of a grand
future for our beloved commonwealth. The
path for us to tread is, to my mind, mostdis
tinetly indicated, and, if faithfully’ followed,
; will lea 1 us inevitably to great happiness as
a people and controlling influence among the
States of tlio Union. Let. our home talent
and domestic virtues be given with patriotic
devotion and ungrudgingly to the service of
Georgia first, and, as far as anything human
and contingent can be assured, we are des
tined to be a rich, prosperous and powerful
community. Alfred 11. Colquitt.

In looking over the standing committees
of both Houses of the General Assembly, we
are gratified to find that some of the most im
portant have a goodly number of representa
tives from our section of the State. This is
as it should be, for Northeast Georgia, as a
whole’, has sent as fine and able a delegation
as that of any ot her portion of the State, and
we predict that they will take a leading part
ia the legislation of the session. We notice
that our own immediate representatives nre

The People’s Tribute to the Chief.
With the exception, probably, of James
Jackson, no United States Senator from Geor
gia was ever efiosen with the unanimity that
yesterday characterized the vote for General
John B. Gordon in the General Assembly.
Only five votes were east against his re elec
tion to a position which he has not only
worthily filled, but honored. We have not
now the time nor the material at hand to
write an accurate sketch of General Gordon’s
career, nor is such a sketch necessary. No
Georgian and no Southerner needs to he re
minded of the main facts in a career which
lias been so recent and so conspicuous. To
a greater extent probably than any other man
he has. since the war, illustrated all that is
chivalrous and all that is conservative in the
new life and in the history of the South.
Among those whose presence and influence
have contributed to give this seetion and this
State their proper place in the National coun
cils, General Gordon stand* pre-eminent, and
the tribute paid to him yesterday by the Gen
eral Assembly was well deserved. No Sena
tor more thoroughly represents his people in
all that is characteristic of their past and
hopeful in their future, and no Southerner
possesses in a more eminent degree those
peculiarities of temper and courage that may
he said to be illustrative of his sect km.:— At.

THE GOVERNOR S MESSAGE.
We hardly deem it necessary to apologize
for the amount of space that this important
document occupies in our columns this week,
to the exclusion oi matter of a more varied
character. We are sure that in no other way
could an\' one, in so short a space, learn so
much about the management and control of
our .State Government.
In this paper we have the acts and doings
of our State officers for the space of two years,
just past. It is true tiiat these various of
ficers have made and published their annual
reports, but then you would have to wade
through lots of figures, and other matter, in
order to cull the important parts, which arc
here laid before you in a nutshell.
Our financial standing, according to this
message, is evidently first-class, and, as a
State, we rank among the first. Our debt is
small, and cannot be increased in the future.
So, in a few years, we will have none worth
mentioning, and then the State will only tax
us for the running expenses of the govern
ment, which will be small.
Another important fact that we notice is,
that most of the Departments have been run
oil an economical plan, and have not exceed
ed the appropriations granted them by the
last Legislature. This is, of itself, an en
couragement. and strong proof that we have
good and prudent men at the helm of public
a flairs.
We are pleased to note the further fact that
the Agricultural Bureau pays its own ex
penses and leaves a handsome balance in the
Treasury. So we hope that, in the future,
there will lie no attempt by those actuated
by a spirit of false economy to abolish this,
one of the most important Departments of
our State Government. Heretofore the far
mers’ interests have received but scanty re
cognition from the legislator, and the estab
lishment of tliis office was but tardy justice
to the backbone of the country, and we are
sure that there will be no effort to deprive
them of the vast benefits to be gained from
this Department.
Wo have not the space to comment upon
the whole message, but will let it speak for
itself, which we think it can well do, and leave
you to make your own comparisons and form
your own conclusions of what we are doing
as a State. And we conclude by re-echoing
the sentiments of our noble Governor at the
close of this statesmanlike paper.
Legislative Summary.
While the Legislature has yet done little
that may he termed definite, it has. during the
past week, gotten into good working order
and accumulated the materials of abundant
business for the remainder of the session.
On Monday the Senate committee to con
sider the matter of reducing the number of.
Judicial Circi.i s in the State made two re
ports. A majority of the committee declared
that there is nothing in the Cos s" tution re
quiring such a reduction, and expressed the
opinion that at the present time it would he
impracticable and unnecessary.
The minority report, signed by Senators
Holcombe and Boyd, was in favor of a reduc
tion of the number of circuits from twenty t<
sixteen as a matter of economy. The re
ports were only read and the Senate received
a lot of bills on first reading.
In the House, nothing very definite was
done.
A long list of bills were put on first read
ing. Several of these were significant of the
spirit of the present Legislature. For in
stance, bills to regulate rates of railroad com
panies, bills to prevent usury, and bills to in
crease the taxon liquor, either directly or by
means of patent devices, such as the Moffett
register.
Tuesday.—The Judiciary Committee of the
Senate reported against the passage of a pro
posed bill on usury. Several bills amending
sections of the penal code as to vagrants and
the punishment of misdemeanors were put on
first reading. A bill to make slander a crime
was also introduced. A similar bill had pre
viously been introduced in the House. The
House had a short session Tuesday. The
committee on the reduction of Judicial Cir
cuits submitted two reports. The majority
favored the reduction from twenty to sixteen,
and offered an apportionment of the counties
to suit the new arrangement. The minority
submitted a report opposing any reduction of
the present number. The matter was recom
mitted, after some discussion, with instruc
tions that the committee draw a bill expres
sive of the majority.
Wednesday.—ln tho Senate, the debate on
the reduction of the number of Judicial Cir
cuits was continued, after which the Senate
came to a vote. By the decided vote of 22
to 15 the majority report was adopted. This
action will make the reduction of the number
of Circuits impracticable at this session, for
even if the House should pass a reducing bill
it is not likely that the Senate will agree to
it.
The House went ahead on new matter and
a host of bills were read the first time. Some
of these had a very important bearing on pop
ular elections. Mr. Gray, of Catoosa, intro
duced two bills, one to require a registration
of all voters in the State, and the other to es
tablish election precincts in every Militia
District. Both will probably pass, as it is
represented that there is great necessity for
both. Most of the other bills introduced were
of that class so common in our Legislature,
proposing unnecessary amendments to the
code and offering new experiments in Legis
lation, which are usually wisely declined.—
The committee on the reduction of the num
ber of Judicial Circuits, reported a bill em
bodying the recommendation of the majority.
It divides the State into sixteen circuits, to <
be known by numbers, and apportions the
counties between them. The bill was read
the first time and referred to the committee on
the Judiciary.
Thursday.—The Senate was fertile of bills
on first reading. Several bills were also read
the second time. The committee appointed
to ascertain what officers are to be elected by
the General Assembly, submitted a majority
and minority report. The minority report
differs from the majority in the opinion that
there is no vacancy in the Southwestern and
Atlantic Circuits. The majority’ report holds
that Judge Crisp and Judge Hiilyer are fill
ing vacancies and that their successors are
to be elected. The special order of the day
was the consideration of the report of the Ju
diciary Committee against the passage of a
bill regulatingthe rateof interest in this State.
A debate on the report was opened, by Mr.
Hodges, and the discussion continued until
the Sena'e adjourned.
The House reconsidered its action in re
ferring the bill to reduce the Judicial Cir
cuits to the Judiciary Commit*ee. and deter
mined to consider the bill in a committee of
the whole House.
Friday.—The Senate resumed the discus
sion on the report of the Judiciary Committee
against the passage of a bill “To regulate
rates of interest in the State and to make all
t itles to property growing out of an usurious
contract, to evade the laws of the State, void.”
After a long debate, in which several of the
leading men of that body participated, a vote
was had and the Senate killed the bill by sus
taining the adverse report, the yeas being 24
and the nays 17.
Saturday.—The Senate refused to recon
j sider its action in adopting the adverse re
! port on the usury bill. The action will prob
ably dispose of the matter for the session.—
The Judiciary Committee reported adversely
I on a bill offered by Mr. McLeod to adopt the
! Moffett register and to impose additional tax
on spirituous liquors. It was made the spe
cial order for next Wednesday.
A resolution asking of Congress the repeal
of the resumption act was referred to the com
mittee on the stale of the Republic. The
committee to whom was referred the ques
tion of an early adjournment of the present
session, reported in favor of an adjournment
on the 3(Jth of November, if not before, and
to reassemble on the 4th Wednesday in Jan
uary, 1870.
The House did nothing final yesterday.—
The number of new lulls introduced was quite
large, and a variety of subjects wore covered.
A bill taxing dogs 50 cents per head, the tax
to go to the school fund, was offered by Mr.
Alston, of DeKalb.
Another Moffett punch bill was offered by
Mr. Awtry, of Troup, while Mr. DeLoach, o!
Bullock, offered a bill taxing bar-rooms $2,000
per annum. Quite a number of local bills
were offered. —Atlanta Constitution.
