FRIDAY* SEPTEMBER 23. 1871.
The General’s Report far 1870.
when we acku'owlcdg
ed tlte courtesy of Comptroller Madison
Bellpu presenting us with this public
shall. u«\v devote a small
spa rife to jt3 gcueral make up, as well as
specially to arraign what wo regard a
part of thp potjtiyo wirings and gross
malfeasances disclosed throughout its
pages, jind which transpired with the
supposed supervision, if they wero not
actually pieipetrated, under end through
a secret conuivanco of the last Legisla
ture, or rather'somo,of its subdivided
agencies—witters tooj that demand uud
must receive prompt investigation and
the most liberal retrenchment, if no more
can be effected—by their incoming s.tc-
cesgois.
Tho Report in its mechanical con-
Etructiun exhibits (with somo low ex
ceptions) as far as wo have been enabled
to judge, a fair and concise statement of
tho Finances of Georgia—tho sources
■whence derived—to whom pai 1 out,
•when,' and lor what; the balances re
maining to tho different Funds; and
■what debts are stiil duo by tho State.
Many of tlicso items aro tho same, mu
tatir mutandis, as heretofore reported up
on—making the Credits and Dobets of
one year—that of IS7O, the main features
for close investigation at tins time; and
these ate furthered down to the warrants
which were drawn by the Governor, evi
dently lip6n tho Treasurer in favor of
members of both branches of the Legisla
ture jaud tbeir duuhlud, tripled anil quar
tupled staff bf Clerks—in favor of the
Governor and his Secretaries and their
extrk adjuncts—Also oi' tho heads of the
several Departments their regular Clerks
and auxiliary attendants —and of tiio
many, many Judges and Solicitors of the
Courts, aud even their eonsultiug.broth
ren—with a host of sponging parasites,
interlopers, liangprson and supciuuucra
rios, thick as blackberries, who appear
to have got the pap-drippings for no oth
er reason than they wero akin to mem
bers,and had been promised .situations
whenever vacancies occurred! Os all
these, we shall confiuo our present stric
tures to the 'mileage paid each Senator
and Representative; remarking 'luens a
nun luecndu that even Door Keepers
and Messengers with all tho aforesaid
Clerks, participated in tho rich picking-
Os all ways that aro dark aud tricks
that arc stealtiy, let tho‘mileage’sjs
tem or practice, as manipulated by patri- >
otic and 'truly, loyal’ Senators and llep
rescatatives of the Georgia Legislature
of 1870, take pre-eminence. Whatever
charitable expediency might have sug
gested in the past, when travel was en
cumbered with had roads, crooked and
long at that—vehicles few aud ctunber
6omo'and money hard to obtain—its a
doptipn was bf doubtful propriety and
scrupulously adjusted to tho simplest ne
cessities; but now it has acquired such
utter disproportions to these, that it.is
not only shamefully exorbitant but in
most of it,s details, a swindle and hast
fraudl The terra —Its solo aim and scope,
as wq take it, was intended tp he under
stood, and employed as .a certain and fixed
rate for so many miles of tho whole uis
tance.from the seat of Government wher
ever,it might be, to tho soveral homes;
of members; that is for every twenty
miles of this distance dollars should j
be paid both iu going to and returning :
therefrom, as allowance for traveling
expenses. This Was its original accepta
tion and use, wb.cn a day’s journey was
not much beyond twenty miles, and tho
fixed rate of mileage was in accordance
witlKbo snpposod actual charges on the
roads. It whs the custom when honor
and honesty prevailed over thoft and !
peculation, and Senators aud Represen
tatives labored heartily to aid the public j
interests. It was tho custom whoa the
village or county site, its town or city or j
center, was taken as the point from which
all distances wero measured or estimated j
to the;,,Capital, by (he most direct line \
of tho common road wagons ; and when |
a member once established and charged
for so many miias of that road, always
'adhered to it as tho unvarying true ono.
We will give a few counties, and tho
mileage to which we think Senators and
Representatives entitled tinder the law,
with the amounts which were paid to
them iu Bccordauce with thoir ‘audited
accounts,’ but nevertheless in ttnaeroilkt*
Ue .contrast with all law nnd custom
within out knowledge. Independently
of their being ovorpnid in nearly every
case, we arc unable to comprehend how
they could fairly ‘figure up’ the arnotfnis;
and why they varied so materially in
chargee for tho same distances, and in
IWM of the same persons—and what is
time. .i a
still more a riddle and a rebus, bow the
same Sonators and Representatives man
to fermte tlAir JTiidjpo for cadi
anj| mfesionttF tliolsSne
turej Tiesf! urojtmch pedS-ct enigma*
■thatlwe msLwtf sejfe hpowinmone a cog?-
mon sense solution.
Wc will begin with Chatham, and
Savannah the County Site—distant from
Atlanta by dirt or Wagon Rond proba
bly 257 “‘lks—29g. Now if
: the members fiV'ffU l i* ba f l Lean
paid as they should have been, for the
-mast-direef or w ?g on each would
have been entitled to about SI2C. If
on the ciiuf.v.iy they were permitted to
proffer life roundabout or Rail, then they
should only have received about sl-10
We dp not app. at exactness but to ap
proximate amounts. What did they really
get 1 For the Ist Session the Ivepjcsaut
atives drew each, sl*l0 —for tire 2d eaeh
d(elwsls3, for the 3d each $l5O, ‘while,
as ‘expelled colored * fficmbera’ .two
drew, yet ether instilments of $225,
oach for niileago alone!! There
is some c infusion ami a want of clear
ness and f(illness iu the report, as
to the accounts'of tho ‘cupelled colored
members’ ; jo as much as they are rep
resented as.drawing their full per diem
aud mileage for the time they were dis
sented together with the full per diem
and mileage for tho whole of tho 3dr Ses
sion—no mention being made of the
ousting members or the amounts they Were
paid. Wc presnmo ts e comprehend the
probable facts, but cVfen under stlcu view,
there remains largo discrepancies in the
mileage, us the exhibits of tho report
show, these ‘expelled colored members’
wero paid each and all of them, four dis
tinct arid full amounts, when Jar the larger
number received but three, excepting the
Senators, who came iu for the shares c*
the Executive Session, making four to
them—and five fur two of the expelled
Senators.
Kota hive as to tM.riixeeutivc Session,
equally useless as it was expensive. It
was ma aeiolasl 1G days! The mile
age of ono cute, colored, cuss, exceeded
his per diem by $93.50 ! while that of sev
ei.il other Scgaforsj were lar-egly in excess.
Tho ‘beauty spot,’ howqvar, of Gov.
Bullock’s sham, consists in its having
only re-assi /aided the next day, or tho
day thereafter or somo very short peri
od from tho final adjournment of the
Legislature, without in all probability a
single Senator leaving Atlanta in the
inter val, yet they drew mileage as if
they really tcyd aud came again 1 This
wat construing law exceptionally, and
constructing jmrneys groundlessly \ —
But how stands it with tho Senator oi
tho Ist District, of which Chatham is a
portion ? Well, lie took for the Ist Ses
sion, 81-17.50 ; for the 2d, $l5O ; nnd
for the 3-1, 8150 ! each of which were
for mileage alone. The Executive Ses
sion mileage was sl-17.50. At first, wo
thought the 150 amount, must'be,a ty
pographical iivor—but, it is carried cut,
and added to.his per dieui pay, making
tho reqisito totality; besides, Mr. Beil
surely corrected the proof sheets of his
report, and would not have overlooked it
had any misrepresentation' existed.—
Four hundred anti fifty dollars mileage
from Savannah to Atlanta, at fivo dol
lars for every twenty miles simply stag
gers us !
Wo will next look into Liberty coun
ty the County Sito of which, is Uiucs
ville at an estimate distance from Atlan
ta 27 3 miles, which would call for $l3O
mileage, or if by Railroad (327 miles)
about'BlG3. Tho Representative however
must live in tinco Bi partite and widely
distant localities. The Ist Session he
drew $1(56.30—th0 2d SIOB ; and the
3d $102.50 ! wl.ilo under the ‘expelled
colored members’ Table, lie laid in his
bill, at $252 !
Next in order is the negro carpet-bag
Senator of the 2d district, the grand
magnate of Cathead, Darien and Doboy—
ono Tunis. G. Campbell “Esquire Jus
tice ol the J’eaco nnd Coram, Cust-alo
rum and rataLoitim too f” Liberty, Mc-
Intosh and Tattnall compose his baili
wick ; but he lives i:i Melutosh and has
his headquarters at Darien--always reck
oned 190 miles from Miiledgovillc—the
old Capital, and adding 93 miles to At
lanta, makes the latter place distant
from Darien 283 miles, 'Squire Camp
bell therefore, should Itavo received ns
Ids mileage by this; his nearest route
about $1 (0 per Session. But doubtless

jurisdiction and went first by’ Steam

120 miles, aitho’ but 03 by land from
his-homo,•to-called, thouco lie Railed it
to Atlanta 392 miles in all -112, at an
actual cost of not snore than $25, if that.
But alio wing his light to make such a

Upon what mlo or ‘tariff of rates’
these mileage Brfls were fixed v «p,Ts al
togctlyy: leyond comprehension: and
how they were m;i?e to vary and each
to contradict the others, all being fair—
is a secret known only to Radicals. No
formbta appears to have governed the
Auditing Committees, bnt every mem
ber it seems charged’ what lie thonght
lie could, gas, arid the Treasurer was not
a Juififdal power. Iu proof,of this sup
position'and to demonstraie that gross
ignorance, or inexcusable negligence, if
not willful conuivanco to defrapd the
State, was inevitably ehargablo some
where, wc will add the several mileage
sums paid to B. B. llall, Esq., the Rep
resentative from Glynn county, and liv
ing in Brunswick, which is estimated to
be distant from Atlanta in nearly a di
rect line, at about 291 miles. For the
Ist Session his mileage was $145 ; 2d
Session, $144, and same for the 3d !
Here is a member representing a class
charging what wc consider rightfully
duo him—yet how much under what the
Campbell’s (father and eon) ciinrgod--
they living in a county between Atlanta
and Brunswick, arid considerably nearer
than Mr. Hall!
But we will have moro to say about
mileage, and will defer further examina
tion nod comparisons until then. Some
thing must be ‘‘rotten in Denmark”—
something that calls for tho surgeon’s
scalpel.
Bct3, Colic, «c.
Messrs. Ed’rs. News § Farmer : Hav
ing heard -lately of so many Loises and
mules dvlng : with Bols, I have conclud
ed to give you a sine cure to publish in
the “News & Farmer,” and if •given in
time, will certainly effect a cure, viz:
A strong tea made of .ho common sa J rie,
growing in.all good house-wives gardens;
cool tho tea down to milk-warm, fill up
a largo sized boltlo three fourths full,
and the fourth with molasses, syrup, or
sugar, then drench ; if the animal gets
no better in fifteen or-twenty minutes,
repeat tho dose.
Symptoms. —A liorso attacked by [the
grubs, or' bots, frequently lies down and
looks round to his shoulders, groans,
whips.his tail between his hind legs, fre
quently turns up his upper lip, and has
a very hot fever, which may bo discov
ered by feeling- his cars.
I never fear the bots whou I can get
tho above rynedy in time. Sometimes
it is very difficult, at first, to tell wheth
er the horse lihs bots or colic. If ho' has'
colie, ho often kicks Ins belly with his
hindlegs, his ears are generally cold,
and ho often sweats about the flanks nnd
shoulders, and frequently shows a dis
position to lay down in great haste. I
havo often cured tho colic with common
salt and warm water—say onc-fourth of
bottle of clean salt filled up with warm
water, aud drench -with it.
I will here give a preventive of bots
and colic, if the animal is not Subject to
cither. Feed and water your stock thrice
times a day, just as regular ns the day
comes, at sunrise, noon, and sunset—and
never drive, ride, or work too hard or.
fast directly after eating and drinking.
Men often get hungry aud fkirsty, and
will eat and drink to their hearts jfepn
tent, and neglect the liorso they .sec Eo
much pleasure iu driving, riding and
working. W. R. J.
Tlio New York Sun, of September 13,
reports an intense excitement in the
post office circles over an alleged defal
cation in the money order department.
Thin Sun’s article mentions John W.
Norton, and places tho swindle at from
SIOO,OOO to SIoO.OOO. Norton, ■ howev
er, is a man of wealth, and compounded
with the Government. John Mason, a
clerk, has boon dctoctod in opening let
tors, anddiolu in SIO,OOO bail. Ho has
bcon in the post office 25 years, and
owns sonic valuable property. Other
employees ate suspected of similar crimes.
Governor Bufiock.
The Salt Lake Tribune of the Ist inst.
announced the arrival of Governor Bul
lock, of Georgia, in its city, and said
that ho and liis party wero stopping at
tho Townsend Ifdusc. As the Gover
nor's wife accompanied him, it is not
reasonable to suppose that his stopping
placo is Utah, but ho was doubtless on
ly tarrying there a few days on his way
to California. What official business lie
has there, lias not yet been disclosed ;
neither can we understand what right
lie, as the executive of the State, has to
prolong his absence from the. scat of gov
ernment at a time when important inves
tigations of State affairs urider his ad
ministration are progre ing, nnd when
it is not publicly known that lie has
made nny arrangement for devolving tho
powtiis and duties of tho office, during
his absence, upon the officer.coslitutioji
ally designated so fill the position dur
ing his incapacity.
The Tribune is not a Mormon paper,
but one of th<3 ‘‘trebly loi)” sort, audit
seems very apprebensivo that Brigham
Young will riot treat Gov. Bullock with
the con sido rot ion due to' his “unswerv
ing devotion to tho old flag.” It says
that op- wandering Governor “is one of
those stei ling loyal men, who passed
through the recent rebellion with un
tarnished roputation,” and that tho p&o
--plo of Goorgia rowardod Lis constrindy
and zeal by elevating him, &c. If the

-T&t- Wtllf r Fait i/t F/euida. —A wea
ther king writas the Falatka Herald :
ttysiiigthc twe-yveeks conunenciiig on
amount ot‘ rain fall rdached tlio enor
mous depth of over tweuty-one inches—
ISritf-H’Gri' ‘Ftew-is equivalent in mea
sure, to ci”hlp?n thousand one hundred
and ijirep barrels per its weight
to fvfo thousand three hundred and
eighty two tons for the same acre. —
More than half of, this enormous amount
of wfcter was precipitated in two days,
beginning the 17th and 18th, during the
prevalence of thio:cyclone or tornado.
Tho writer continues :
To got a clearer idea of tho vastness of
this lain fall, let us assume that the St.
John’s river Urnina ouly six miles on ei
ther side Jeon; its mouth to Dunn’s creek,
arid then include ali betjyeen Dunn’s
lake and the Ocklawalia to. Enterprise.
This includes about ninety toWnsliips,.
and is considerably less’than one-fourth
•of tlio area actually drained by the St.
Jqlin’s ; fmt in this limited space the
amount :of roiri- fell during tho time
specified above was sttficiont - to form a
lake forty milos long and fifty gliles
wide, with a uniform, depfh of twenty
eight feet four inches.
St. John’s Ilivcr.- —This noble river is
higher than it has be u in thirty yemrs,
arid we see no evidence of abatement in
its waters. Feople who built at low wa
ter mark find themselves surrounded
with water. From all that we cau learn
wo are led to tho belief that at least one
half of the cotton crop in this section
has boon destroyed by the late gales.—
Tho-planters have sustained very seri
ous damages in the loss of tho potato
and corn crons, which must necessarily
bring much distress.
The M*coil Telegraph lias this :
■•• Tim late stortti did ittunowse damage to
the cotton crop of tho counties south
west us this city-, along <be lino of the
.Southßailroad,•. Tho prospect
was gloomy enough before the storm,
biit it is very much more so since. Wc
heir (Sopcurrcnf reports from all that
-seeiibrt. to ihls' efftbt, rind from one coun
ty, (Driuglierty)' we saw a dispatch yes
.terday w-hiidi Oliriolmd the nail as to that
immediate section; Tho dispatch stated
that great damage had been done, and
upon two places piit doivu tho loss at
300 bales; nearly one-sixth ol what
was (heir estimated yield before the
storm.” - ...
The Thorria'svillo Enterprise reports as
follows, on the cotton prospect of that
lection :
The Cotton Prosper! —Our farmers
report tlio,prospect as anything but piom
ising iu this, section. The boll worm
continues its ravages, which in some lo
calities amount to almost a total destruc
tion of the young bolls. The storm al
so uitl considerable damage by blowing
dowri the staiks, whipping 1 off tho bolls
and forriiL arid rntiddying and scattering
the ojion cotton. Besidos this the top'
crop, which promised well a month ago,
SDoms. to be doing but little,, and without
an improvement, witji a favorable and.
late fall, it -will prove a failure. An iu-
s 1 that be diu nut

ty would be more than half ns great as
tliat of last year. Andtlie.r, who is fartn
