Governor of Georgia.

CARROLL COUNTY TIMES.
THAT “<>JIBKAT LETTER”
As Vie wrd by a Correspondent o
the Sparta Isltmaelite.
The governor’s “great letter,” of
the 21st inst., bears Henry Grady’s
ear marks unmistakably. ‘ The cu
rious ingenuity of its special plead
ing, vitalized by the inevitable
spirit of insincerity,, indicate Gra
dy, despite tbe oHicial slang which
crops out occasionally. The sever
al prefatory heads, “my position,”
“Mr. Norwood’s position,” “A dis
organizer in his own interest,”
“Mr. Norwood prevents a nomina.
tion,” “and retailing slanders, are
amusing for their ingenuity and
amazing for their audacity.
Under the head of “The North
eastern bonds,” the governor comes
: down to business, apparently. Yet
with infinite braggadocio, he dodges
the true issue, absolutely. He dis
cusses the legality of his signing
the bonds and winds up with “The
general assembly, after a full in
vestigation of the whole matter,
dechtrcd my motives pure and the
act a proper one.”
Not at all, governor. The gen
eral assembly declared no such
thing. They expressly pretermitted
any opinion as to the legality or
propriety of the act. Indeed, the
enquiry was limited by the gov
ernor's own words to the question,
“Did he get any of the Murphy
fee ?” [See Journal 11. of R. p
599.] The compromise report (the
only one adopted by the general
assembly) declared there was no
evidence that he got any of it, and
they believed his motives were
pure. That was the true case, and
sixty-eight members of the lower
house voted against that, whilst but
ninety-three voted against it.—
[See Journal H. of B. p787.] And
the governor calls this a “complete
vindication 1” “One more such
victory and I am undone,” said
Grecian Pyrrhus. Vindication, in
deed ! That same assembly made
such conduct as Murphy’s a felony,
and Colquitt approved it, though he
swore to the committee that he saw
no impropriety in Murphy’s act
There was the scandal that evoked
his blood and thunder demand for
investigation, and such its beggarly
conclusion. Vindication!
“The Alston fee” scandal is
charged as a great outrage upon
the governor, because it is called
the Alston fee, when others got
part of the “sugar.” Buthe“found
a long standing account of the
highest official authority,” when he
came into office—he did not make
the contract, but only paid the
money in good faith, etc. He
adds : “All the gentlemen (the at
torneys) concurred that the con
tract was that they should have
the full 25 percent." If the con
tract was on file and “by the high
est official authority,” why need he
appeal to the concurrence of those
gentlemen. But this is not the
question. The supreme court unan
imously decided that he had no
right to pay it without legislative
authority, which did not exist. He
swore to support the constitution
and laws. These forbid his paying
it. And he did pay it. The quib
bling about “attorney’s liens” is
mere bosh. His violation of the
constitution in that case is inevita
ble, as it is in many others.
The “convict question” he han
dles with characteristic unfairness.
He insists that the convict law and
every contract under it were made
under Governor Smith’s adminis
tration, without any agency of his!
He is not accused of making these,
but of neglecting to see that they
are faithfully executed. The birth
of twenty-five bastards in the con
vict camps proves the abuses charg
ed, and that he ought to have cor
rected. This odium he seeks to
cast upon Gov. Smith, and, won
derful to tell, he claims the credit
for the healthfulness of last year !
He makes no report on Nelms,
makes no inquisition into the law
less mismanagement of the camps,
but if Providence sends a healthful
season, and the mortality is dimin
ished, he. claims for himself, as
recklessly as he claims the fruits of
McDaniel’s R. R. tax law !
The “Jones settlement” the gov
ernor justifies largely on the ground
t’.iat “Mr. Grant was able to prove
that the bond he signed was intend
ed to be only temporary, but under
the technical rules of law was not
allowed to make the proof.” If
that be so, Mr. Grant did not owe
the State a dime, and what moral
right had “our Christian governor '
to take 835,000 of his money ?
What part of it did the attorneys
get ? If that be untrue, then
Georgia lost at least 800,000 after
judgment by the silly settlement.
Lame and impotent as the “great •
letter” is, relative to the matters
touched on, it utterly ignores many
grave charges against bis adminis
tration. Its spirit, alas, is the same
that applied the elegant epithets,
“liars and thieves,” to his opponents. 1
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 10, 1880.
THAT ALSTON CLAIM.
Tlie Supreme Court Say« that the
Whole of it was the Property of the
State and Should Have Been Paid
into the Treasury.
The court says:
This was an action brought by
the plantiff against the defendants
[ on a bond executed by them in the
sum of 810, 000, signed by Alston
as principal and by Walsh and
Adair as securities, conditioned for
the faithful preformance by Al
ston of the duties of public printer
lof the state. The alleged breach
of the bond is that Alston had re
, ceived 85,000 under a resolution
■of the ganeral assembly and had
failed to account for the same and
appropriated it to his own use, etc.,
and that Alston was further liable
in the sum of 83,000 as liquidated
damages. The securities pleaded
that the plaintiff, after the default
;of said Alston, had paid him 815,
i 000 without deducting said debt,
i with full knowledge of his insolven
cy, wherby the said securities be
came released, and farther that by
reason of the advance of the said
85,000 as before the same was due
to said Alston under his contract
i work done by him as public
printer, the risk of the defendants
[ and his securities were increased
’ and was thereby exposed to greater
liability to loss. Alston having
died pending the suit an order was
taken suggesting his death, and
that the cause proceed against The
other two defendants, thereupon
they pleaded to the jurisdiction
of the court on the ground that
' neither of them resided in the county
I of DeKalb in which the suit was insti
tuted. The plea was overruled.—
l The jury, under the charge of the
court, found a verdict for the plain
tiff for 82, 500 principal and 80-11.-
66 interest. A motion was made
for a new trial on numerous
! grounds which was overruled and
! the defendants excepted.
There was an error in annulling
the plea to the jurisdiction of the
t ' court. It appears from the re
' cord that Alston was elected pub
lic printer in January, 1875, and
was to enter on this discharge of
his duties the first day of the next
session of the general assembly.
On the 19th of February, 1876,
the general assembly passed a res
olution authorizing the treas
urer to advance to the public print
er flic sum of 85,000 in part pay
ment of the public printing for
the present session. The condition
of the bond is “that if the said
Alston shall well and faithfully
do and preform all and singular
the duties prescribed by the laws
of Georgia appertaining to said
office of state printer for and dur
ing the term for which he has been
I elected, then this bond or obligation
to be void,” etc. The laws of
Georgia prescribing the duties of
public printer are to he found in the
following sections of the code, to
wit: 1022, 1023, 1026 1027, 1028,
1029, 1031, 1033 and 1034 as to
the time and manner in which he
was to be paid for his services,
that is to say, he shall be paid
25 per cent, on the actual cost of
the material and labor employed
in the public printing, provided
that before being paid therefore ,
he shall make out an ac
count on oath of the ac-
tual cost of the material and labor
employed stating that said amount
is correct and just and that the
prices paid are not above the
customary rates for similar
work and material when em
ployed in the service of private
parties to do a like amount of print
ing. Thus stood the law at the
time the bond was executed by the
defendants, on the 30th of Jan. 1575,
as to the time and manner of the
payment of the public printer for
his services as such and the ques-'
tion is whether the resolution of
1876 authorizing the treasurer to
pay him 85,000 in advance to the
preformance of any work done by
him as public printer, was such a
change of the contract as amount
ed to a novation without the con
sent of the sureties and discharged
them under the provisions of the
2.153 section of the code ? In our
judgment, it was such a change of
the contract as would discharge
the sureties if done without their
consent. The sureties might have
Been willing to stand for their
principal when he was to perform
his duties and be paid therefor as
prescribed by law, is to say when he
had done the work, but not will
ing to stand for him and be re
sponsible for 80,000 advance to him
before he had done any work as
public printer to be used by
their principal as he might think
proper. The advance of $5,000
to Alston, their principal, before
he had done any work for the state,
as public printer, was an inducement
to him not to do it, and thereby
cahilated to injure the surities.
The consent of the sureties to the
advance of the $5,000 may be
proved either by direct evidence,
or by indirect or circumstantial
evidence tending to prove that fact.
It appears from the evidence in
the record that Alston, the princi
pal in the bond, was insolvent, and
it further appears from the evi
dence of Treasurer Renfroe that in
May, 1877, Governor Colquitt
presented to him a check drawn in
favor of the United States treasur
er in Washington on the United
State treasurer in New York,
dated 28th of April, 1877, for
! one hundred and ninety-eight thou
sand and twenty-eight dollars and
fifty-eight cents, payable at sight
to the order of Alfred 11. Colquitt,
I governor of Georgia, and stated to
him (the treasurer) that $152,-
1274 24 was to be paid into the
I treasury of the state, and that the
balance he would reserve to pay
attorneys’ fees for which the check
was liable. The $152,274 24 was de
posited in the treasuyv, but does not
know what became of the balance
only from hearsay. Gov. Colquitt
testified that in 1876 the At
lanta Herald, in which Alston
was interested, was sold out for
debt, and that Alston was
much pressed for money; that
in May, 1877, he as governor of the
state, paid for the use of Alston
about $15,000, for a fee due him
as one of the attorneys for the
state in the case of the state of
Georgia vs. the United States.
i The 25th section of the code de
, dares that “Any act of the credit
-1 or, either before or after judgment
agaist the principal, which injures
the security or increases his risk, or
exposes him to greater liberality,
will discharge him.” In the ease
before us, the state was the creditor
of Alston who was insolvent, and
the defendants were his securities
for his indebtedness to the state.—
The whole amount of the money on
due the herein-before described,
was the property of the state, the
governor being the duly authorized
agent of the st te to receive the
same for- the purpose of paying into
the treasury, where the whole of it
appropriately belonged under the
laws of the state. The Governor
recognized the fact that the money
belonged to the state and that he
was only the agent for the state in
its collection, by paying into the
state treasury the sum of $152,-
278.24 of the amount received by
him. If the governor had paid the
full amount of the money received
by him, into the treasury of the
state, as the law contemplates he
should have done, and Alston had
presented his claim against the
'State and the same was justly due
him, less the amount that he was
due the state, the state as a credit
or of Alston, would have been
bound to have retained enough out
of what was due him, for the pro
tection of the state’s interest as
well as his sureties, he being insol
vent. The principle is not changed by
the fact that the governor, who was
the agent of the state, withheld a
part of the money from the treasu
ry and paid it to Alston without
deducting Alston's indebtedness to
the state. The money in the gov
ernor's hands was the money of the
state all the same, and if the gov
ernor as the authorized agent of the
state had an amount of its money
in his hands due to Alston by the
state, of a greater amount than Al
ston's indebtedness to the state and
paid the same over to Alston with
out deducting therefrom what Als- ;
ton owed the state, that would have '
been such an act on the part of the !
creditor by its authorized agent, the i
governor, as would injure the seen- |
rities of Alston by increasing their i
risk, and exposing them to greater
liability, Alston, their principal,
being insolvent. In our judgment ,
the charge of the court in relation
to this point in the case as set forth
in the record was error. There are
but two main controlling questions
in this case, although there are fif
ty assignments of error. First were
the defendants as securities,discharg
ed by the change and novation of the
contract without their consent un
der the provisions of the 2154th
section of the code. Second, were
these sureties discharged under the |
provisions of the 2154th section of
code. As we grant a new trial in
this case on the defendant's motion,
therefore, we express no opinion as ■
to the grounds contained in the
plaintiff's motion for a new trial, I
both cases having been argued to
gether here. Let the judgment of
the court below be reversed.

Senator Norwood.
The momentous events of tbe
past few weeks have crowded upon
each other with such rapidity, and
have filled so much of our availa-
ble space that we found no oppor
tunity to allude at the proper time
to the close of the Hon. Thomas
M. Norwood's term of office as
I nited States Senator with such
prominence as the character and
career of the distinguished gentle
man would seem to demand. Sen
ator Norwood went into the senate
six years ago, and his record in that
body has amply justified the wis
dom of the legislature which select
ed him to represent the state at a
very critical period in the history
of her political affairs. He has
been faithful to the high trust re
posed in him, and has, in all con
junctures, been true to himself, to
his section and to his country. He
has labored intelligently and unre
mittingly for the best interests of
his people, and has always main
tained and upheld the dignity of
Georgia. As a constitutional law
yer he was able to cope with the
wily and experienced leaders on the
republican side, and his noints were
always well taken and ably sustain
ed. He was never surprised into
<an error of judgment or driven in
to assuming an untenable position.
In point of culture he did not
have a superior, if, indeed, an equal,
on the door of the senate. His
methods were so thoroughly those
of a student aad scholar that they
give rise to the idea that he is un
fitted for the rough and tumble
contest peculiar to American poli
tics, but when he did engage in
these contests he made his pres
ence felt. By no trick of debate
could he be thrown from that equi
pose characteristic of one whose
mind is under the discipline of log
ic. His repose was never ruffled.
He made but few speeches in the
senate, but these were noble ones.
His civil rights speech is a model
j of vigorous and terse invective and
I keen and biting sarcasm, and it was
widely quoted both at the north and
the south. His speech on the Louis
iana question is remarkable for the
clearness and conscientiousness with
which the entire case is summed
up. Its constitutional arguments
have been alluded to as exhaustive
and conclusive. Mr. Norwood is
still in the prime of life, and has a
long and useful career before him.
From thv Augusta Evening News.
Docs Gov. < olquilt Meet tl»e Issue
Fairly J
The Gov. said in his speech
Thursday night that there was no
law compelling him to collect any
damages for the 126 escaped con
victs, as there was no penalties on
over a hundred of them, because
all of these escapes save nineteen
occurred before the law fixing any
penalty at all passed. Gov. Col
quitt was elected in 1876 and took
his seat in 1877. On the 25th day
of February, 1876, the legislature
passed an act—see Georgia Laws,
p. 44, section vii.—as follows: “Be
it further enacted,'that for a breach
of the bond herein provided for as
to negligent escapes, the damages
to be allowed against the said com
pany so leasing shall not be less
than S2OO for each escaped convict
unless said convict be caught and •
returned to work in two months, '
and it shall be the duty of the les-!
see or lessees under this act imme
diately after any escape, to make
a report in writing to the principal <'
keeper, who shall lay the same be-1
fore the governor, of all the circum-!
stances attending such escape, and
if the governor shall find therefrom, ■
or by any other means, that such 1
escape was caused by negligence, it
shall be his duty to institute suit '
for the damages herein provided
for,” Ac., and subsequently, on the
14th day of December, 1878, the ,
legislaturefpassed a resolution “re
questing his excellency the govern
or, to inquire whether any penal-'
ties or forfeitures have been incur-'
red by any lessees of penitentiary
convicts, and take any steps or pro
ceedings necessary and proper to
enforce such penalties or forfeit
ures.’’ Did Governor Colquitt state
the truth of the case’ Let candid
Georgians answer.
Norwood is one of the ablest
and best men of the public men of
Georgia. In accepting the leader
ship of the unorganized protestants
against the combination of politi- ,
cians and corporations for control
of the State, he makes a great sac-!
rifice on the altar of duty. He rep
reprents the right of the people
to really govern themselves, against
the assumptions of a daring and
grasping triumvirate who have
combined to rule as masters by
divine right of art and intrigue
and man gement and money. He
ought to he elected, and will l>e if 11
the people of the State are worthy
of the liberties they have fought for
in many and bloody wars and are
loyal to the honor they have so 1
splendidly maintained under all I
circustances for more than a cen-1
tury. \ - J

Leorge Adair Talk*.
> A reporter of the Atlanta Con
, stitution interviewed George XV.
Adair, vice-president of the minori
ty central committee, the other
■ day, upon the gubernatorial cam
' paign with the following result:
“Colonel, will you talk ?”
“With all my heart—but you
wont pub—” .
“Yes, but I will; now—”
“All right, go on."
“Who will win the race
“(In a loud tone) Norwood!”
“Do you honestly think so?”
“I do, young man."
“Then your reasons are —”
“First, beeause Senator Bin Hill,
Mr. Toombs, Judge Warner, Hon.
A. 11. Stephens, Doctor IL V. M.
Miller, Colonel Rufus E. Lester,
General A. R. Lawton, Governor
Milt Smith, Augustus Wil
liam Reese and many other distin
guished civilians—all representing
a great following of quiet conserv
ative, influential people are for
him.”
“Well, proceed."
“Second, the active, reading,
thinking, speaking young men
the young democracy of Georgia—
are ablaze with enthusiasm, and are
taking the stump all over the state
for him.”
“Go on.”
“Third, the better class of repub
licans—such able, conservative, fair
minded men as Judge McKay,
Hon. A mos Akerman and Mr. Jo
nathan Norcross—are for him.”
“Why ?”
“Simply because they think Col
quitt's administration is bad, and
arc in favor of a change which will
bring about good government in the
state.”
“.And the bulk of the white re
publicans—”
“Will go for Norwood in obedi
ence to that instinct which impels
them to fight what they conceive
to be the simon pure democracy."
“How about the colored men ?”
“I believe that the negro preach
ers, as a rule, will support Colquitt,
I and that the negro laborers, as a
class, will vote for Norwood.”
“Wht’t proportion of the colored
votes will Norwood get ?”
“I cannot say; but I am satisfied
that he will get enough of them to
make his election sure.”
“Is Norwood gaining ?”
“Daily; and he will continue to
gain until the sun sets upon the day
of the election.”
“Why is this ?”
“Because the masses of the peo
ple are now getting the facts about
an administration which has been
“weighed in the balance and found
wanting,” and will continue to get
them until the campaign shall
close.”
“Your honest opinion about Ful
ton county, please ?”
“She will go from 800 to 1,000
for Norwood.”
“Now, really, colonel, you must
be joking.
“Not a bit of it, my wayward
friend. I candidly think so, not
■ from consulting the people, man by
man—a thing I never do, but from
talking with prominent representa
tives of the various types of citizens
in our midst.”
“Thatconvict catechism.”
“I have seen it floating around i
and have heard a great deal about i
it, but I know not whence it came.” |
“Do you consider it a legitimate j
campaign weapon ?”
“Just as legitimate as Colquitt’s
using extracts from Norwood's civil 1
rights and Oxford speeches, and i
tlie Constitution’s using “know- ;
nothingism” to influence voters.—
Four dead issues have been resur-i
rected by Colquitt’s friends into
the campaign. They are secession,
know-nothingisrn, removal of the
capital and slavery. Surely if these
be legitimate it is legitimate for
Norwood's friends to bring in at
least one live issue.”
“What is it ?”
“Why, the convict system of j
Georgia, the wrongs of which are :
known to all and cry aloud for re
dress.”
