SUNDAY MOUSING. NOV. 10. 1871.
THE PI'IIIJC DEBT OF GEORGIA.
The Stale AI<1 Bond <lne*Uoii.
The greitfst topic of the present Legislative
session most unquestionably is that which ro
utes to the credit of the State, asserted to be
pledged for the redemption of the bonds issued
by Governor Bollock in aid of certain railway
and other speculations by himself—his political
and personal friends, and of all others who, on
various pretexts hare availed themselves of the
recklessness of an extravagant and unconstitu
tional LegisUture, to get possession of fnnds
on the alleged faith of the State.
There U no need of any special accuracy in
statins the amount af our public indebtedness,
already inoarred end which must ultimately ac-
erne if the series of State aid acts already passed,
«b.ii b« carried into effect according to the
practices and precedents of the late Governor,
or upon the general terms of those unconstitu
tional statutory pledges of the public faith. In
auoh a case Georgia would no doubt incur a
total debt of somewhere between twenty snd
thirty millions, requiring a yearly interest-pay-
ment of more than a million and a half, and
burdening the Ubor and productive resouroee
of the State almost inextrioably. The products
of the toil of this and the next generation would
all be spent in advance, and Georgia terribly
crippled in the great effort for self-extrication
and progress.
We learn from Atlanta that some important
biU covering this question, in part, will probe-
bly be reported the preeent week, but without
knowing a single one of its provisions, we desire
in this article merely to express, as briefly as
possible, our own convictions on this general
subject matter.
It is too clear for dispute that whatever powers
the LegisUture of Georgia has, either to pledge
the faith of the people or to do any other act of
Legislative authority, must be derived from the
Constitution of the State. What the Constitu
tion warrants, they may do; but what it pro
hibits, they cannot do. Their action against a
constitutional prohibition is s dead letter, and
all proceedings under it are null and void.
Now, the Constitution of Georgia has no
other provision authorizing the Legislature to
pledge the faith of the State for the benefit of
private corporations, except one limiting that
power. It is the last half of the fifth paragraph
of Motion sixth, article third, meeting the Leg-
UUturo and defining its powers. It reads as
follows :
“The General Asaembly shall pass no Uw
making the Btale a stockholder in any corporate
company; nor ahell the credit of the State be
granted or loaned to any company without a
provision that the whole property of the oom-
pany ahall be bound for the meurity of the
State, prior to any other debt or lien, except to
laborers ; nor to any company in vhieh there ie
NOT ALREADY AN EQUAL AMOUNT IN
VESTED BY TRIVATE PERSONS; nor for
any other object than a work of publio im
provement."
Now here, the people have laid down very
explicitly the conditions on which alone the Leg
iaUtnre may lend the oredit of the State in aid
of works of public improvement, and they are
ell throe very important conditions. First, the
work mnstbe a publio improvement—it may
not be a mere private enterprise or speculation.
Second, the i(hole of it, except merely liens to
Uborers, must be pledged to the State as secur
ity ; and, third, there must have been private
means to an equal amount already invested be
fore the endorsement can bo made. All these
' together constituted the most ample security,
under which the State held a dollar in hand for
every fifty cents guaranteed by her endorse-
ment, and under which, also, she was protected
from all speculative schemes of desperate ad
venturers who should build railroads merely to
get endorsed bonds upon which they could raise
money for speculative purposes. Before they
could reoeive one dollar of Slate endorsement
they must show some pecuniary resources, as
weil as their own faith in their enterprise by
potting a dollar of tbelrown money in the work.
TheM conditions clearly expressed, and im
peratively demanded by the Constitution, could
net be Ignored then and cannot be ignored now.
If the Legislature has ignored them iu the so-
called State aid bills, those bills are a dead let
ter. If the Governor has ignored them in en
dorsing bonds, the endorsement is null. Neither
the Legislature, nor the Governor can bind the
Btate in disregard or deflanoe of the Oonatltn
tion. Nor can tho alleged rights of third par
ties intervene to bind the 8tate. These rights
aocrue to them under the laws, and were, when
they entered into any contract of loan, just
w>at the laws of Georgia defined them to be.
It is the business of every contractor to look
into all the conditions of the oontract, snd they
cannot be presumed to have been ignorant of
these; for they were its fundamental condi
tions. All the authority for the State endorse
ment rested in the single constitutions! provi
sion we have quo^pd; and to suppose any lend
er ignorant of this provision, is to suppose a
man making a bargain with an agent acting un
der power of attorney, without looking into
that instrument, or earing to know anything
about it.
Now this view of the case makes the duty of
the Legislature too clear for doubt or dispute.
Can this or any other Legislature innocently de
prive the people of Georgia of the securities
which they had demanded and published to
the world as fundamental conditions to any loan
of their oredit long before any snob loan was
made ? Suppose your agent, instructed to en
dorse a friend's paper and to take ample secu
rity in shape of a mortgage, should make the
loan without taking the security required—
would he not be guilty of a gross breach of faith
and be liable to an action for damages f And if
any snoh endorsement has been made in defi
ance of the Constitution and in collusion snd
fraud npon the rights of the people, dare any
Legislature beoome accessory after the fact, by
acknowledging snoh an endorsement as binding
npon the State, when the State long beforehand
warned the whole world that she conld not and
would not be bound except on such and snch
essential conditions—which have not been com
plied with ? That would be an act of fraud upon
the people not less criminal than the acts of
those by whose conni vonco any such illegally en
dorsed bonds would have been pnt in circula
tion. The people of the State cannot be legally
or righteously swindled into an unlawful en
dorsement any more than they can be legally
swindled out of their fands in the Treasury if
any be there. A legislator sworn to support the
Conatiintinm v.« no right either to violate it
himself or to permit or assent or be privy to its
violation by others. The rights of the people
in connection with those State aid bonds are
clearly defined by the Constitution, and no leg
islator oan permit those rights to be violated,
without being false to the people and false to
his offioial oath.
It is, therefore, the duty of this General As
sembly to moasure all these State aid obligations
by the plummet and square of the Constitution,
and to notify all holders cf unconstitutionally
endorsed bonds, if any such there are, that they
must look for their seeuiity solely to the obli
gors and the property they represent. And this
should be done without delay and with all the
candor the case demands. The Legislature
should not delay a week this measure of justice
and protection to the people, and thus pnt a
final atop to the farther issue or hypothecation
of any spurious and unconstitutional securities
of this character.

What Will lie Do With It?
Acting Governor Conley bad the Elec
tion bill in band as early as last Thurs
day, and the question now is what we
have written aboTe. Our opinion is that he
will veto it, and then comes the tag. In the
House the veto will be smashed in short order,
bat we hear unpleasant double expressed as to
its fate in the Senate. “They say” some of
the weak-kneed are flattering, end that if Con
ley can only manage to have tome “ martial
law” dispatches from Washington freely circu
lated, they will light on the veto side. It is s
disgrace that snch a thing should be even hint
ed, but we fear there is some fire under the
smoke. Shame, bitter, blasting shame upon
any man calling himself a Democrat and a free
man—if there be each an one in the Senate—
who baa not the manhood to do hia duty
regardless of every other consideration. Wc
hope to annonnoe when the veto is sent in, that
every Democrat, at least in the Senate, stood
square np to the rack, even though with thp
certainty before him that Grant had hia pen
ready inked to still farther infsmixe himself
and outrage liberty, by proclaiming bayonet
end handcuff law for Georgia.
Birds of a Feather.
Under this head the New York Son, a Repub
lican journal, expresses tho opinion that Bol
lock is probably correct when he says that the
people of Georgia, who desire his impeachment
are opposed to the re-election of Gen. Grant.
Neither does the San think it strange that snch
should be the case. The interests of tha vile
rabble of thieves who have recently been plun
dering the people of Sonth Carolina and Geor
gia are thoroughly Identified with those of Grant
To a man they hope for his renomination, be
cause they look to him for protection in their
robberies in the fntnre, as they have hid it m
the past Throughout the South it will be found
that wherever a prominent politician has been
detected in acts of marked depravity, that poli
tician has invariably been conspicuous in his
dsvotion to the personal ambition of ths great
Present-Taker. The reason for this is obvious.
It is an old adage that birds of a feather flock
together; and the carpet-bag thieves are fully
aware of the faot that it wonld be a moral im
possibility for any other President to be elected,
who, in return for the personal snpport they
bring him, wonld consent to degrade himself
so low as to countenance the atrocions system
of plundering which has been the chief charac
teristic of their caroor in the Southern States.

The New Orleans press indicates a very high
degree of excitement in the city and State, over
the enormous burdens pressing upon the people
in the shape of exorbitant taxation, and the
certaioty that tho State has been redneed to
hopeless insolvency by the Radical robbers.
Take what they may in tha shape of taxation—
yea, take sway the bread from the months of
the people, and still the bottomless gulf of debt
remains unfilled. The State is financially rain
ed—as much as Sonth Carolina and North Caro
lina, aDd Florida. As much so as Georgia will
ba if we do not have bold, prompt and decisive
action by our Legislature. The people of Ne

ple to abate their choler, and return to reason

Communists in New Orleass.—A correspon
dent of the New Orleans Times, signing himself
“Communist,” says that thia “great brother
hood” numbers hundreds of members and holds
regular meetings in the heart of that city. He
says believing it to be his duty to “jine in” with
a movement to “overwhelm tha few who base
their superiority on bloated capital, or tho in
herited accumulations of ancestors,” he took
the oath and went through the ceremonies of
initiation. These must have been as bloody and
brutal as those of the Union League elubs—for
he says:
I dare not mike publio the ceremonies of in
itiation, or even hint at the tremendously horri
ble effecta the reading of the various charges
produced on me. It is sufficient to say that they
were soul-harrowing. * * * When reason,
relieved of the unwonted tension, recovered it
self, I was s sworn member.
We wonld hnmbly suggest to these gentlemen
of the petroleum cans to omit that part of their
right! and duties which is to be discharged by
fire for the present Consider that Sbehnan,
with 200,000 of the elub, marched through the
South some few months ago and did for us all
that was absolutely necessary to be done in this
line, leaving no “bloated capital’' whatever in
hia track.
Grant as a Prophet.—It is shown that Grant
was once a prophet. On the 20th of January,
1864, he wrote a letter to Hon. I. N. Morris, of
Illinois, on the subject of the Presidency, in
whioh he said:
“In your letter yon say that I have it in my
power to be the next President. This is the
last thing in the world I desire. I would regard
aueh a consummation at being highly unfortu
nate for myself, if not for 1he country."
If Grant should want any evidence as to the
“consummation” in question, havtag turned out
just as he thought, so far as the country is <xnre
cernod, he can get it in such quantities ss was
never known before in any case since the world
was made. We do not hesitate to express the
deliberate conviotion that his eleetion wss the
most fatally ruinous ovent for the American
people that their history records. But it has not
been “highly unfortunate” for himself snd his
tribe of greedy kin, if full pockets are the only
measure of good fortune. Side by side in the
country's annals, hereafter, will stand the dark
atory of bis assaults npon the peace, sad pros
perity, and liberties of his fellow citizens, and
the sickening details of his shameless nepotism
and scandalous present taking.

Mr. Crosby is a pleasant, intelligent, qniet,

pearance and manners are decidedly prepos

says Clews A Co. have nothing to ooncaal, and
that they are willing to afford the fullest insight
into the entire details. He states that when
Clews A Co. were nrged to beoome the State's
agents, they knew nothing against Bollock, and
they felt complimented to represent the finan
cial matters of ao great and famed a State as
Georgia, peoognizmg Bollock as the Gover
nor, folly authorized to act for the State, they
have advanced him in good faith all the money
he desired, not considering themselves bound
to look to its disposition. At the same time,
they are ready to give all the assistance they
tell all their information, that mnv
can. and tell all their information, that may
lead to light on tho subject. They eimp'y ad
vanced funds as desired, and have participated
in no misnae or improper appropriation of those

money, and commissions for negotiating securi
ties. They have in all cases taken Bullock's

Monday. Messrs. R. L. Mott ti. T. Downing,
John Peabody, J. Rhodes Brown and John
King—all members of the Board—went to Sa

the Directors of tho Central Railroad. Most
of the gentlemen retamed yesterday and report
no practical result. In answer to the claim for
a lease and a small dividend, the Central re
plied that last current year the road did not pay
expenses and interest, and it would hardly be
fair to ask that the Central should pay a divi
dend besides defraying losses.
It is understood that onr Directors have of
fered to lease the road on condition that an
annual dividend of 24 per cent on nnscaled, or
6 per cent on preferred stock, is paid. All the
Directors of the Central Road were not present
at the meeting, end as it was desired to have a

he was possessed of wonderfnl vitality and
vigor, and retained all his intelligence to the
end of life. He once represented Chambers
connty, Alabama, in the Legislature. He came
here in early years and settled among the Indi
ans, whose language he spoke fluently. He was
one of the prime movers in the bnilding of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad, and was never dis
couraged at its slow progress. At one period he
was President pro tern, of the Company. To
him is greatly dne its completion. Seale Sta

Editor! 7 degraph and Messenger: I see
your paper a card from J. A. Ansley. of Ameri
cas, in which he compUins that Mr. Speaker
Bmith had ignored that portion of Georgia
lying south of Macon in making np hU com
mittees. Mr. Ansley uses the following words:
“Of the twf nty-fonr standing committees in the
House, I believe Mr. Speaker Smith conferred
the chairmanship only on two sonth of the city
of Macon, to.wit: Mr. Bush of Miller, and Mr.
Craig of Telfair.” The above statement U a
misrepresentation of the facta. There are five
members sonth of Macon who are chairmen ol
important committees, to-wit; Rawls, of Ef.
fi ogham, chairman of the Finance Committee;
Phillips, of Echols, chairman of Privileges and
Elections; Heidt, of Chatham, chairman of Pe
titions and MemoriaU; Bush, of Miller, on
Journals; and Craig, of Telfair, on Auditing.
In Macon there are two chairmen of important
committees, to-wit: Nutting, of Bibb, on Public
Expenditures; and Bacon on the State Library.
The Judiciary Committee U composed of sev
enteen members, a majority of whom live south
of Macon.
In every committee of importance, Sonth
andSonthwest Georgia is well represented.
No one will donbt that Captain Hudson U a
good lawyer and worthy of a place, but there
are other members equally as worthy, who are
not on the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Hudson
got an appointment for a friend, and U himself a
member of one or more important committees.
As to friend Brady, he is a member of the Com
mittee on Agriculture, and at the time the
committees were appointed he was so unwell as
cot to desire any position. So far as I have been
able to assertain the members are satisfied,
and why should Mr. An9ley complain ? And
hereafter when Mr. Ansley complains, he
should state facts. The article does Mr. Smith
great injustice. Member.
CnEirzr. and Better Gas—A New Experi
ment.—A patent gas company has just been
formed in England, with a capital of $250,000,
in $5 shares, which proposes to distill gas at a
low temperature instead of a high one, as on
the present system. By this means it is possi
ble to nso iron retorts, instead of retorts of clay,
at a great saving of expense, while the gas pro
duced from the same coal is 30 per cent, more
in quantity and of 50 per cent better quality
than the gas produced by previous methods, and
the remaining products are also more valuable.
There is said to be little or no sulphur in this
new and cheaper gas. Snch is the account of
the invention which has been privately making
way. the latest facts ooming ont regarding it
being that n French company has bought the
privilege of n-iug the patent in France for
$500,000, and that works are being erected for
lighting the Town of Barnet, England, with gas
at an early date, which will snpply an experi
ment on the largest scale. It is hardly to be
wondered at, therefore, when the pnblic mind
is beginning to be awake to snch matters, says
the London Economist, that the original $5
shares are at 13 preminm, having been at 18 to
20, and that the new issne, which is only to ex
isting shareholders, is at 4 to 5 premium.
Illinois Wont Have Female Lawxebs.—The
Rockford (Ill.) Register says:
The Supreme Court, we learn, has just re
fused to admit to the bar Miss Alta Hnlett, t
law student of thia city, on aeoonnt of her sex.
This we regret, as we understand Miss Hnlett
to be a yoang lady of superior talents and at
tainments, and well qualified to entor npon the
profession of her choice. Under an appoint
ment of the Circnit Jndge hero. Miss Hnlett
was examined for admission to the legal pr.c-
tice by Messrs. Wright, Miller andBraxeeof
the Rockford bar, who certified to her ample
qualifications. Bat the Supreme Court has
again, as in the late application of the gifted
and accomplished editress of the Chicago Legal
News, decided against the admission of women
to the legal profession.

for Btory telling, relates that on one occasion,
while addressing a temperance meeting at
Georgetown, District of CoInmbia,and depicting
the misery caused by indulging too frequently
in the flowing bowl, his attention was attracted
to the Bobs of a disconsolate and seedy looking
individual in the rear part of the room. On
going to the person and interrogating him, he
was told the usnal tale of woe; among other and
sod incidents thathad occurred daring the time,
be had buried three wives. The Governor, havinf;
buried a few wives of bis own, sympathizer
deeply with the inebriate, and consoled him as
much as was in his power. Said he: “The
Lord lias indeed afflicted yon.” The mourner
sobbingly replied: “Yes, yes, ho has,” and
pausing a moment, and wiping his nose he con
tinued : “But I don't think the Lord got mneh
ahead of me, for ss fast as he took one sway ~
