Great Western Canal,
The ostensible object of the meet
ing of the Governors of the South and
est in Atlanta during the past week
is in trie interests of the above great
enterprise. Our latest dates from the
city being before the convention had
met, we know nothing as yet as to
the success of the Convention or the
result of its action. Os course they
do not propose doing anything but
discuss the question oi cheap trans
portation between the West and
South, which is looming up as one of
the great questions of' the future.
But if this is done in the proper spirit,
the agitation of itself, will he worth
much practically,in giving prestige to
the great need of the South and West,
eo that future legislators will be im
pressed with public opinion favoring
it, and consequently trim their sails to
catch the popular breeze. There
is nothing like agitation to/)arry a
measure, and as this question of
cheap transportation is one which
touches the pockets of the Wes
tern farmers, we have no doubt but
that it will be agitated until Con
gressional aid is secured in its fa
vor. If we of the South were the only
parties affected, onr request for help
would not amount to much, but for
tunately our destinies and interests
are intimately linked with those of the
the thickly populated North West,
who will soon have the controlling
-voice in the national legislature.
For the benefit of our readers, who
may not be exactly posted as to the
proposed route of this Great Western
Canal, we will state that it commences
proper at Gunter’s Landing, a navi
gable point on the Tennessee river,
situated on its most Southern bend,
and extends across to Gadsden on the
Coosa. This latter river is navigable
to Rome and can be made so to a
point near Cartersville, where the Ca
nal will again commence, extending
across the country to Macon on the
Ocmulgee, and thence extending
down that stream to the Atlantic
Ocean, thus making a water communi
cation with the latter to the head
waters of the Mississippi. The esti
mated cost of transportation of grain
from St. Louis to Savannah by present
route is $14,40 per ton, while the
engineer's report gives the cost by the
proposed canal at $4,88 per ton, thus
making a saving of $9,52 upon each
ton of grain shipped from the West
to the South.
4©"* The assessed value of the prop
erty in Atlanta for the present year,
1873, is $13,009,640. For last year,
or the year 1872, it was $13,291,585.
The Herald claims that this falling:
off is not due to decline in real
tate, or a cessation of building and
improvement, but is owing to the fact
that the assessment was too large in
1872, and also the exemption from
taxation of all wool, cotton and iron
manufactories in the city, the present
year, the same not being exempted
last year.

'‘When the pay was $8 a day the most
eminent statesmen adorned Congress.
When $3,000 a year was substituted
they began to disappear. With
$5,000 a year, land grabbing, corrup
tion, corporations, and Credit Mobilier
have ruled. At this rate of progress
it is not difficult to predict what this
latest salary swindle will develop.”
The above from the New York Sun
expresses facts in regard to the in
crease of Congress men’s salaries,
which no fair minded man, can gain
say, or deny, and yet one of the chief
reasons given by the advocates of the
late increase, was that it would place
our representatives, above the bribery
and corruption of the lobbyist.

Editor Tikes :—To morrow is the
day appointed for the meeting of the
Great TV estern Canal Convention in
this city. It is expected that a great
many Governors, Congressmen May
ors and representative men generally
will be here, and extensive preparations
have been making and are now being
completed to do them honor; An
entertainment and a ball both of a
magnificent character are to be given
at the 11. I. Kimball House, and it is
understood that General Gartrell will
give an elegant reception at his resi
dence. Flags are to be displayed—a
national salute fired, and all the usual
paraphanalia of big occasions to be
put into requisition. The Governor
and his guests are to go from city to
city and give the people a chance to
look at the living great. Your corres
pondent hopes that the real object of
their assembling will not be forgot
ten by these worthies. To night the
Knight Templars open their new hali
and give a strawberry festival, which
will be a recherche affair. Well the
Gate City is now intensely interes
ted in a hydra headed quarrel going
on between Joe Brown President and
Gen. Mcßea superintendent of the W.
tfc A. R. R. Cos., Scofield of the Rolls
ingMill and all the newspapers, Joe
is backed to some extent by the Con
stitution and the Sun, while the Her
ald is pouring hot shot into his camps
with its usual energy. The lessees of
the Road meet to morrow, and many
conjectures are afloat as to their prob
able action under the circumstances
Many believe that the Ex-Gov. is
on his last Presidential legs while
others think Superintendent Mcßae
will have to go by. The charges
brought against Gov. Brown are nu
merous, but when sifted down amount
to intercepting or being in possession
of and reading an intercepted private
letter from Gov. Mcßae, to a relative,
and running the State Road in his
private interest and that of his family.
Os the merits of these charges your
correspondent knows nothing. True
the Ex Governor’s letter published in
two dailies yesterday amounts simply
to an argument showing that Scho
field’s opinion of castle Dock coal, has
changed and to an insinuation that
the Herald tried to blackmail him
during the winter, rather than to an
exculpation of himself from the
charges made against him. This in
sinuation meets a very positive re
sponse from the editors of the Journal
m question, and they get mad and
call Joe pet names. I think however
that no one need bo apprehensive of
bloodshed, as Joe’s life is too. valuable
to be risked on the field o-f honor more
than once in a life time, and all though
the Toombs’ affair failed, still it is
generally conceded that, that was
Robert’s fault. The Superior Court
will begin on the Criminal docket
nest Monday and the way the dry
bones are going to rattle will be a
caution. At least 100 true bills have
been found by the Grand Juries at this
terip. O’Neil will be executed in
private on the 13th of June. Well
hoping that my next letter will convey
the news of peace at home, I am

INTERESTING LETTER FROM GOVERNOR
SMITH TO COL. NUTTING ABOUT THEM.
Executive Department, and
State of Georgia, >
Atlanta, Ga, May 12, 1873. )
lion. C. A. Hutting, Jhcon, Ga.:
Dear Sir— Your lavor requesting a
particular statement of the debt of the
State has been received. Many oauses
unnecessary to be specially mentioned
have conspired to delay the prepara
tion of the desired statement-until
the present time. Great care has
been taken in preparing this exhibit
to have the same set forth correctly
the entire debt of the State.
The bonded debt of the State con
tracted [>rior to the commencement of
Gov. Bullock’s administration, as will
appear more particularly and at large,
by reference to the tabular statement
hereinafter given, is $4,988,000. Gov.
Bullock issued $3,000,000 of gold
bonds under authority of the act of
September 15, 1870. Os these $390,
000 have heen returned to the Treas
ury and cancelled, and $102,000 have
been declared void by legislative act,
approved August 23, 1872. The bal
ance of this series amounting to $2,-
598,000 are recognized as legal obli
gations of the Slate and constitute a
part of our public debt. By an act ot
the Legislature, passed at the session
of 1872, authority was given to issue
§700,000 seven per cent, twenty year
currency bonds, for the redemption of
our six per cent, bonds failing due in
the summer of 1872. The account of
j the agent of the State in New York,
showing the amount of the bonds dis
posed of, before the order issued with
drawing them from the market, has
not yet been fully rendered. It may
be approximately staled, however, at
$280,090. The amount of our past
due bonds, that fell due in the sum
mer of 1872, still out standing, may
be stated at $120,000. From this
statement it will appear that of the
$700,000 currency bonds issued as
stated, to redeem our old bonds
falling due in the summer of 1872, on
ly $280,000 have been disposed of;
and no more than this amount of the
said issue should be stated as part of
the debt of' the State. The unre
deemed portion of our boipls, which
matured in the summer of 1872, and
amounting as just stated, to $420,000,
still form a part ot the public debt.
1 have been thus particular because in
the reports of the Treasurer and
Comptroller General, made to the Leg
islature, at its late session, the whole
amount of said currency bonds was
included in the statement of our bond
ed debt. The six per cent, bonds in
exchange for which these were offered
were not embraced in either of said
statements. This inaccuracy was not
very material at the time these re
ports were submitted ; hut has be
come so since on account of the pro
visions of the act requiring the mine
gotiated balance of said currency
bonds to be withdrawn from the mar
ket.
The foregoing statement embraces
the whole of the bonded debt of the
State, admitted to be legal and
binding, and is particularly set forth
in the following table :
When issued. When due. Amount*
1812 and 1813 1873 $ 137,000
1844 ahd 1817 1874 251,500
1858 1878 100,000
1859 1879 200,000
1860 1880 200,000
1861 1881 100,000
1866 1886 3.600,000
1866 1886 134.500
1867 2887 265,500
1870 1890 2,598,000
*in various years 1872 420,000
1872 * 1872 280,000
Total bonded debt $8,286,500
To the total bonded debt of the
State should be added the amount due
from the State to Russell Sage, of
New York, say $375,000, exclusive of
an amount of interest which has not
yet been ascertained. There should
also be added past due interest upon
the gold bonds issued by Governor
Bullock in 1870. I have no means of
ascertaining exactly the amount of
this last issue, but am certain that it
does not exceed, to this datet‘s37s,ooo
Adding these items it will appear that
the debt of the State, exclusive of the
mere floating debt, and our accruing
interest account, may be stated as
follows :
Total bonded debt $3,286,500
Due Russell Sage 375,000
lineages of Interest 375,000
Tolal $9,036,500
The floating debt of the State, con
sisting principally of claims against
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is
not large—probably not exceeding
$50,000 at this time—and ample pro
vision has been made for the payment
of the same. For this reason it is not
included in the foregoing statement of
the public debts.
The whole amount of bonds of rail
road companies claimed by the hoi
ders of the same to have been indor
sed by the State is- $7,033,400* From
this should be deducted the amount
declared void by several acts of the
Legislature, viz: $3,875,000 —leaving
a balance of indorsements recognized
as a valid of $3,158,400, from which,
in my opinion, the State will never
suffer any considerable loss.
The property owned by the State,
other than her public buildings, is—
-Ist The Western and Atlantic
Railroad, valued at, say $7,000,000
2d. Ten thousand shares of stock
in the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, of the nominal value of 4,000,000
3rl. One hundred and eighty eight
shares of stock in the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company 18.800
Making an aggregate of $8,018,800
The taxable property of the State,
exclusive of railroads, of banking, ex
press and insurance companies, as re
turned by the owners thereof to the
tax receivers, amounts to $226,663,-
263, placing the in crease”’tor the pres
ent year at the same rates as that for
the past four years, makes the present
value of the taxable property of the
State $238,663,263. The’ receipts
from this source, at the low rate of
four and one-half tenths of one per
cent, would be $1,078,984 87. The
estimated receipts from railroads,
banking, express and insurance com
panies will be 30,000; one-halt rental
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
$150,000; receipts from convict labor
will be—say $20,000.
- TABULAR STATEMENT
From general taxation. $1,073,984 6<
S[>ecial tax «n railroads, etc 30,000 00
Half rental TTestern & At
lantic Railroad 130,000 00
Convict labor 20,000 00
i Miscellaneous sources say 5,000 00
Total $1,273 975 67
From the above estimate it appears
that without imposing 100 high a rate
I of taxation we may safely calculate up
on receiving into the treasury from
the ordinary source ofrevenue, $1,278,
984,67.
The usual and probable disburse
ments, including the legislative pay
roll, without underestimating the same,
may be stated at $600,000. Deduct
ing this amount from the receipts into
the Treasury, as above estimated, will
leave a balance to be applied to the
payment of interest of 678,984 67. —
The average rate of interest upon our
public debt, taking into the account the
eight per cent, rate upon the new
bonds, now being placed upon the mar
ket, may be stated at seven per cent. At
this rate the annual interest upon our
bonded debt is $632,555. According
to the above statement, alter paying
all the ordinary expenses of the govs
eminent and the annual interest upon
our entire bonded debt, a balance of
$46,429 67" will remain m the Treas
ure of the State.
In making the foregoing statement,
I have equally avoided an over-esti
mate of the amount of revenue which
will probably be received into the
Treasury, and an underestimate of the
probable amount of expenditures.—
The ability of the State to meet all
just demands upon its Treasury can
not be doubted; and there is every
reason to believe that, after the tem
porary pressure upon us shall have
been relieved, all such demands will
be met with promptness-.
The Legislature, at its late scission,
authorized and directed $1,200,000 of
eight per cent, bonds of the State tc
be issued and negotiated for the pur
pose of paying past due interest, and
for the redemption of past due bonds,
and such other bonds as may fall due
within the next three- years. The act
provides that the interest on these
bonds shall be payable in the city of
New York, semi-annually on the first
day of April and the first day of Octo
ber, in each year. The further pro
visions ot the act necessary to be here
noticed are, that the bonds are to be
made payable in the city of New York
on the first clay of April of each sue
cessive year, as follows : SIOO,OOO on
the first day of April, 1875, and SIOO,-
000 on the first day ol April of each
succeeding year untill the whole issue
■of bonds authorized by the act shall
be paid.
The Governor is authorized and di
reeled to increase the per cent age on
the taxes to be collected in the year
1874, and in every succeeding year,
until the whole of the bonds issued
under the act shall be paid, so that
the taxes to be collected in these years
shall exceed the amount otherwise au
thorized to be collected by the sum of
one hundred thousand dollars; and
lie is instructed by Ihe act to appro
priate this sum of SIOO,OOO annually
to payment of the bonds issued under
the act. The act pledges the faith of
the Slate that these instructions to
the Governor shall not be repealed,
and that this SIOO,OOO shall be annu
ally levied, collected, and applied to
the payment of the bonds authorized
by the act untill the whole amount
shall be paid. The act further de
clares that these bonds shall be ex
empt from State, county and muniei
pal taxation*
The bonds authorized by the act
have been prepared and are now be
ing offered for sale to the people of
the State. It- should be borne in mind
that these bonds are not intended to
increase the amount of the debt ot the
State, but, are required to be so dispo
sed of as to extinguish past due in
terest and redeem past due bonds fall
ing due within the next t’vee years.
The annually accruing interest upon
these bonds will be paid promptly, as
the same becomes due. The faith of
the State is pledged to raise by taxa
tion SIOO,OOO each year, to be applied
to the payment of the principal, until
the whole issue shall be redeemed.
Their exemption form taxation; the
high rate of interest they bear; the abil
ity of the State to meet the accruing
interest promptly, and the provisions
made for the redemption of the bends,
unite to make these securities not on
ly a safe, but in every respect the best
investment ever offered to the people
of Georgia. An opportunity is now
Offered to trustees for an investment
of the fimds in. their hands, which will
be at once safe and highly remunera
tive, and capitalists of all classes will
find it to their advantage to invest in
these securities. The rapidity with
which they are being disposed of ren
ders it quite certain that within a
short time the whole of them will be
placed at par, and affords most grati
fying evidence of the confidence re
posed by the people in the faith of
their State.
