contract or liability made or incurred prior to

principle and interest of said execution, or of
the debt or claim on which such execution has
been or may hereafter be obtained, so that the

from the lstol January. I860, and the fourth

Here you have the celebrated Stay Law be
fore you—and if the proviso means any thing
it is to make null and void the provisions made
for the debtor, if he fails voluntarily in person
or by proxy to avail himself of its benefits.—
The act says no levy shall be made, provided
one fourth of the debt is paid It presumes,
! therefore, that the debtor will pay or cause to
j he paid the payment required by said act. But
I the act don't say if the creditor is forced to
' the necessity of having a levy made, and there-
I by obtain the payment, that lie shall only col
lect one fourth of the debt, including interest.
I find no such provision in the act, and I take
it for granted, Mr. Editor, that whenever the
debtor fails voluntarily to make the second or
payment, that he can no longer enjoy the
benefit of the Stay Law, even if he has paid
the first. Now, suppose neither of these pay
ments are made—on the failure ot the first,
does it not negative the proviso, and place the
collecting law on its old footing? But I shall

GOV. JAS. JOHNSON EXAMINED BY
BOUTWELL.
The condition of public affairs in Geor
gia, in my estimation, is improving; our
j people are becoming better and better sat
isfied with the lapse of time, and their
! passions are gradually abating; as an ev-
j ideuce of this fact I could point to the
- legislatation of the State on particular sub
jects; the provisions which are being
made by latv for the protection of freed-
men and securing them in their rights;
immediately after emancipation went into
actual effect there was some hostility
manifested towards the negroes by some
classes of persons, but that hostility is
abating, particularly on the part of those
who owned slaves ; in my judgment a few
troops of the United States should still be
kept in Georgia for the present, lor the
pupose of keeping in restraint evil-dis
posed men, and to aid and assist the
Freedmen’s Jiureau while it remains; in
my judgment and opinion, it is proper at
present that the Bureau, or something
akin to it, should be continued hi the
State for a time; in my judgment, when
the District and Circuit Courts of the
United States are properly organized in
the State, and when our own Legislature
| shall have perfected their system of law
I iu reference to negroes, then the biH which
j has already passed one branch cf Con-
: gress, which proposes to declare and se-
| cure the civil rights of persons, if passed
by the other branch, will dispense with
the necessity of the presence of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, or of the troops of
; the United States ; but until that is done
, l think it is proper that both should be
! continued ; 1 think it would be good pol-
of the war he was severely wounded sev
eral times and was finally captured ; he
stated his position and feeling to the Fed
eral officers who had charge of him, and
I believe they made representations to the
proper department bere, asking for his
pardon, and he was released; lie came to
visit me at Milledgeville after his release,
and told me that he was willing to co
operate with me to carry out the wishes of
the administration as far as he could do so;
I think he is a proper man, notwithstand
ing he has committed errors ; he is a man
of good feelings and of liberal sentiments;
Mr. Christie was a co-operationist; I can
not speak posively about hitn ; I can only
speak of him from reputation, and I thinIc
he is well disposed towards the govern
ment now ; I do not know what part he
took after the commencement of hostili
ties ; Mr. Buchanan was in favor of se
cession ; he says that he accepts the re
sults of the war and is willing to submit
to them ; I will not say further iu regard
to him because I do not know ; as to Mr.
Cohen, of Savannah, my impressions
about him are these—he is rather refrac
tory, or was sa the last time I heard him
talk ; refractory in spirit; the other mem
ber elected- to- the House of Representa
tives, I do not recollet his name at this
time; I cannot tell his present status, but
he was opposed to tho war at its com
mencement.

eracy were now possibe, how many of the

My colored friends, I have nothing
more to say to you on this occasion than
to thank you for the compliment you have
paid in presenting yourselves before me
on this your day of celebration-. I come
forward for the ptfrposc cf indicating my
appreciation* of the reapeet that is offered

pliment, and I mean what I say. I will
remark in this connection, that the time
will come, and that, too, before a great
while, when the colored population of the
United States will find out who have se
lected them as a hobby and a pretense
by which they be successful in obtaining
and maintaining power aud wanted them
to participate and enjoy the blessings of
freedom. The time will come when it
will be known who contributed as much
as aDy other man, and who, without being
considered egotistical, I may say, contrib
uted more in procuring the great national
guarantee of the abolition of slavery in
all the States by the ratificatiun of the
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States giving a national guarantee
that slavery shall no longer be permitted
to exist or be re-established in a State or
within the jurisdiction of the United
States. I know how easy it is to excite
feelings of prejudice and kindness. I
