t&ISTO Isotiisville, Q'a: f « .ZUM.V. li .1-1- -—^ —: l__ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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,•.

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.
