THE 8TATE BONDS.
Colonel Jaclc Jones, the State Treas-
1 in the State. It is car-
Tukasuhy of Georgia, >
Atlanta, Sept 22, 1873. >
yta:
The past condition of our financial
; them, make it quite unnec-
All you who keep in mind the events
ated legia-
two millions of dollars. This
These restrictions, however, were
which were to be given out in conipar
thousand dollars a mile, when a eer-
the adventurous corporation all at
was thrown. Thus, the roads were
to be constructed by the sale of our
pay tli
horde of swindlers might he enabled,
without the outlay of a dollar by them
selves, to lord it over us as railroad
kings, and developers of our count! y
anti its wonderful resources.
You will also remember that the
Legislature which sat in January, 18-
72, raised a committee to examine in
to and report upon the legality of the
bonds issued by Bullock and the ben-
tit if any, to the State from their issue
and sale, how far the constitution aud
the law authorizing them bad
been respected and complied with and
for what aniouut the State was bound
to provide. The committee in Atlan
ta, examined into everytning they
could find there, throwing light on the
matter, and to give the holders all op-
I>ortunity of presenting their claims,
and establishing the justice of them,
went to New York and advertised ex
tensively for all persons holding bonds
of the State, or endorsed by Bullock,
to bring them forward, and have them
examined, that justice might be done,
and wrong prevented. The commit
tee spent several weeks-iu New York,
closely engaged, and had many of
those pretended obligations of the
State presented to them. These they
examined carefully, and condemned
hilly four-fourths of those issued or cu-
dorsed by Bullock, because either the
constitution had been violated in their
issue, or the law authorizing their is
sue on certain conditions had not
been complcd with. These the legis
lature disowned, on the recommenda
tion of the committee, in August of
last year.
Of course, this produced a howl
from the holders of the bogus bonds,
and others in Georgia aud elsewhere
whom they could enlist in their cause
by heavy fees, or n division of the
spoils of their bonds could be made
genuine by au act of the Legislature.
The cry was raised that* the State
would be ruined, that her credit was
gone, and she would never again he
able to sell a bond or borrow a dollar
at home and abroad.
The {Legislature of January, 1872
knowing that the distress of the coun
try, not yet recovered from the rava
ges of the war, forbade the idea of in
creased taxation, authorised tire issue
of seven toudi to the AWQttUt
of seven kundred iuCl ,aao ^ dollars, to
redeem the bonds of the State 7^“
became due in that year. Of these
bonds a few were taken in exchange
for old bonds; the rest were sent to
New York, and out of seven hundred
thousand not more than two hundred
and fifty thousand were disposed of,
and they at niuety cents on the dollar.
This being reported to the Legislature
at its last session, and further that a
large amount of State bonds would be
come due in this year, and it being
painfully apparent that the people were
yet too hardly pressed to pay the taxes
necessaiy to meet this great exigency
(a million dollars more beiug required
than the usual rate of taxation would
produce.) the prospect became gloomy
m the extreme. What was to be done?
was the only question; what could be
done no one could say.
Just then the bont^oldcrs, wide
awake and watching every event,
came forward with the proposition
that if the legislature would legalize
certain bonds condemned bv the com
mittee, or take them up with a new is
sue. they would take them at ninety
cents in the dollar* and lend us on
them as much money as we wanted,
pay all oar debts, and lift us out of the
mire aud raise the credit of the State
of Georgia to a higher position tliau it
ever occupied before. The event was
threatening, the proposition seemed
pleasing, and the “consnmation was
devoutly to be wished.”
Not knowing what else to do, sever
al of our best citizens, members of the
Legislature, aud others leaned eager
ly toward it, and many earnestly fa
vored the proposition, arguing that we
had better pay what we had solemnly
declared we did not owe than that the
Stale's credit should be depreciated.
At this juncture (fortunately for us, a*
it has turned ont.) 1ft. Nutting, of
Bibb, Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Hook of Representatives
prepared and introduced a bill, which
was passed as an experiment and the
proposition of-the bondholders was
pertermitted until the next session, that
biQ authorized the issue of twelve hun
dred thousand dollars of bonds, bearing
eight per cent. Interest, payable semi-
annually, and falling due in twelve
consecutive yean (oue hundred thou
sand dollan each year, from 1875 to
1886, inclusive, when the last install
ment would be paiu It also declared
them free from the State, county and
municipal taxation. These bonds
have been prepared for issue as re
quired, and are dated 1st April, 1873,
ore payable in two. three, four, five
years, and so on, up to twelve—the
last installment being payable in I860,
as above stated. The coupons for in
terest will be paid in New York or
Atlanta, as convenient or preferable
to the holders.
When these bonds were ready for
issue, remembering the fate of those
issued last year for the same purpose,
which were sent to New York and
subjected to the machinations of Wall
street and its arbitrary dictation of
prices, ! obtained the consent of the
Governor to offer them to our own
people, to whom the credit and honor
of Georgia were dearer than the Al
mighty Dollar, whose patroitism and
State pride have never faltered, but
have always answered nobly when ap
pealed to in the right spitit by those
in whom she trusted. Before the
bonds were ready for delivery, 1 adver
tised them for sale at par, and receiv
ed applications amounting to nearly
fifty thousand dollars, before they
could be delivered, and those applica
tions were accompanied with the funds
to buy them. At the same time I ad
dressed a circular to the Ordinaries of
the several counties, requesting them
to call the attention of the executors,
guardiaus and trustees of estates, to
the excellence and strength of the
bonds as an investment; aud although
it was prophesied that we would not
sell one hundred thousand in Georgia,
and none elsewhere, except at a ruin
ous discount, I have had the good for
tune to dispose of eight hundred and
fifty thousand dollar* at par, and the
expenses ot the sale have not gone
higher than one per ceut on the
amount sold. By expenses I mean the
printing of the bonds, advertising the
terms ol sale, printing and distribution
of circulars, express, freights, and pos
tage; and this has bccu done by an
abiding faith that patritoLm and State
pride is yet a sentiment and principle
of our people, and that Georgians will
be true to Georgia at all cost.
I hope I may be excused lor men
tioning the op|y difficulties I have had
to encounter iu the sale oi these bonds,
and but tor which I firmly believe I
would have disposed of all of them by
the middle of the summer. There are
among us a few men calling themselves
bankers and brokers, dealers in stocks,
bonds, railroad and Stale securities—
who, iu order to make trado and turn
an honest (?) penny, are and have
been doing all they kuow to depreciate
the credit ot the State, to add another
to the list of their commodities. They
arc of that class of fishermen to whose
net all that come arc fish; of that class
of tradprs who would depreciate the
Georgia's credit will stand as high as
ever.
Read'the accompanying circulars
carefully ; . inform yourselves thor
oughly, and if you have §250 or §500
or ten or twenty thousand dollars that
you can nflord' to put ont at 8 per
Cent., free from all taxation, payable
every six months, equal to a ten per

had their creditor at their raerev.—
Teesc men have been engaged in
making the holders of the old six per
cent, bonds of the State, payable in
1872 and 1873, believe tlmt they cither
could uot get their bonds exchang' d,
or that it was uot advisable to take
meanwhile, though, they have plied
their vocation by buying the old bonds
at a sharp discount, exchanging them
for our eights, am* selling them at an

keep persons scekiug them from tak

men allow themselves to sec no dis

and necessities of the people, aud those
of the State to whose laws they, as
well as all of us, look for protection
and good government, maintained
alone by the. very lighted taxation
which should be rather under the ne
cessity than above it.
I was notified, last spring, by our
agent in New York, that * broker
there bad offered him a lot of Georgia
Eights at 85 cents. On consultation
with the Governor, I wrote to our
agent to buy them ou act ount of the
State, and was not surprised to receive
his answer that- the broker could not
find the man who had authorized him
to sell them. A party doing business
in Georgia presented, through a No
tary Public/ duriug the past summer,
at the Treasury, an over-due 6 per
cent boud of the State, and demanded
payment. I offered him the only
thing I was authorized to offer for it.

rency, iuterest ou the old bond up to
the date of the new. He refused, sav
ing he was so instructed, and that he
was further instructed to protest the
bond if it was uot paid in currency.—
I U>M him he had his answer, and the
next day TCCfived ihd prottti or no
tice thereof. I was puzZ!. think
what was attained by the protest,
commercial law it is necessary to bind
the indorser of a note. There was no
mdorser on the bond, and as lie could
not sue the State, I thought lie was
out the protest fee without the least
prospect of a recovery. Tiie only ob
ject, then, was to dcpicciate the credit
of the Slate, buy her bonds at a dis
count as deep as he could, and when
that credit rose again—as he knew
it would, in spite of him ami others
like him—ho might realize something
by the operation. I have before me a
circular, in which the same man ad
vertises that he has tor sale 10,0X1
new Georgia Eights at 96 cents. I
requested a friend to telegraph to him
that they would be taken, and archeck
sent for the amount. The answer
came that the man who had them for
sale was out pf the city, but would be
seen when he came ip. These acts
carry their own commentary.
Fellow Citizens : I know that the
times arc hard; I know that the
swindling ami robbery of our late
tulers bave caused our taxes to be
burdensome and difficult to meet;
know that money is scarce and hard
to come by, but'the necessity is on
and I must call on you again for the
honor of our brave old State, to come
forward and take up the balance of
unsold bonds. I send you with this a
statement of the amount told, the pur
chasers and their place of residence.
Not more than forty counties are vet
represented in this loan to the State.
Some of the banks have contributed
liberally, a few bounteously, some
have not yet taken any, hot I hope
they will yet If those counties that
have done nothing will take an aver
age of thirty-five hundred to the coun
ty, the bonds will all be sold, and

The Oldest City,
Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crum
bled on the shore. Baalbec is a ruin,
Palmyra is buried in a desert; Ninc-
vali and Babylon have disappeared
from the Tigris and the Euphrates.—
Damascus remains what it was be-
foic the days of Abraham—a centre of
trade and travel-au island of ver
dure iu the desert; a presidential cai>-
ital, with martial and sacred associa
tions extending through thirty centu
ries. It wns near Damascus that Saul
and Tarsus saw the light above the
brightness ot the sun; the street, which
is called Strait, in which it was said
he prayed still ruus through the city.
The carivan comes and goes ns it did
a thousand years ago; there is still the
ehick, the ass and tho water wheel;
tho merchants of tho Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy theso
with the multitude of their wares. The
city which Mohamcd surveyed from a
neighboring height anti was afraid to
enter, as it was givcu to man to have
uc paradise, and fot his part he
resolved not to have it iu this
world; is to day what Sulivan called
the eye of the East, as it was iu the
time of Isaiah, lhc.head of Syria. It is

Tiik Hiked Girl.—There is one
reason why we should regret to have
the present troubles with domestic
servants ended, ll is because women
derive so much pleasure from discuss-
the subject. Place two women
together, aud it makes no difference
where the conversation starts from,
it will be perfectly certain to work
around to the hired girl question be
fore many minutes have elapsed. We
have seen an elderly house-keeper,
with experience iu couductio;
talk iu the right direction, break into
a discussion of Pythagoras and the
doctrine ofthc transmigration of souls,
am) s»wAti’h off the entire debate with
such expedition that au unsophistica
ted listener would for some moments
have au indistinct impression that the
conversation referred to the incfficicn
cy of Pythagoras as a washer and
ironcr, and to the teudeucy of that
hcgtl,ca philosopher to take two
Thursdays out every week. And
wheu a woman has an unusually vil
lainous hired girl who bums up the
coal, wastes the butter, mixes her hair
in the biscuit, ana stuffs her relations
with the sugar, it is interesting to ob
serve how the glories in the sujicrior-
ity of her sufferings to those of her
neighoots, and how, as she tells of
them, she gloats over her misery* aud
feels good about it A woman who
has a really competent servant
ways in a condition of abject wretch
edness on such occasions.—Max Ad-
thr.
A Keokuk lady while engaged in the
pursuit of domestic duties, encounter
ed a mouse in the lloor barrel. Now,
most ladies under smnfiar circumstan
ces would have uttered a few feminine
shrieks and then sought safety iu the
garret. But this one poscsscs more
lhau the ordinary* degree of ferna!*
courage.—She summoned the hired
man and told him to fcot the shot gup,
call the ball clog, and station hinm-lt
at a convenient distance. Then she
climbed hall way up the stairs an J
commenced to punch the flour barrel
vigorously with a pole. Presently the
mpuae made iu appearance and star
ted across the floor. The bull dog
at once went in pursuit. The man
fired and the dog dropped dead. The
lady fainted and fell down the stairs,
and the hired man, thinking that she
was killed, and fearing that be would
be arrested for murder, lit out, and has
not been seen since. The moose es
caped.
