Tbe labor* of tbe Legislative Committer, the
Bute Treaanrer and tbe letter* of ox-Governor
llallock, (ono without date and tbe other dated
Albion, New York, December let, 1871) leave
the question of tbe bonded indebtedneaa of tbe
State in a muddle. November t>, 1871, Treat
are r Angler make* thia showing:
Bonded debt created before 1808.... $5,912,500
Cerrrney bond a tanned in 180S and
1870, 1«m $8.12,000 returned can
celled 1,798.000
Gold bond* under act* of 1870 t,888,000
Total bonded debt ao far a* known
at the Treaanrer'* office $12,.190,500
Of State aid bond* auppoeed to be out, tbe
Treaanrer name* $194,000 endorsed for the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad; $275,000
for tbe Certenville end Van Wert; $3,300,000
for tbe Brunawick and Albany ; and in a aub
aequent note to the Chairman of tbo Committee,
be add* $1,900,01*0 for the Macon and Bruna-
wieli; $204,000 for tbe South Georgia and Flor
ida ; $000,000 additional for tbe Macon and
llruoHwiek and $300,000 additional to tbe Cher
okee or Carteravdle and Van Wert, which would
make $0,833,000 State endorsed railway aid
I Kind* now out—tbe bond* issued to tbe Atr
Line Road having beer leturned cancelled.
Hut tbe Treaauror learn* Hut when tbe $300,
000 were issued to the Cberokeo Road it
undentood that the $275,000 already out to the
Carteiwvtlle and Van Wert wero to be returned
canoeUed. Tbe Secretary of State, whoso duty
It waa made by act of Oct >bcr 25, 1870, to rog
later all Slate aid bond* issued by tbo act* of
1808 and 1809, says Hint none were ever regia
ten*) in hi* offloo.
Of tbe gold bond* out, Aoting Governor Con
ley acoount* for throo millions as follows
Glews A Co. to secure advanoea and otherwise,
$1,730,000; It well Sage do. $300,000; A. 8.
Wharton, New York, do. $100,000; II I. Kim
lull, purebano of eapitol, $250,000; John H,
James, for Executive mansion, $100,000. Tbe
Acting Governor shows, also, $2,000,000 in
currency lionds out to same and other parties
In New York less $500,000 which ho says are
In the Treasury. Wo fail to son in the docti
manta any account of tbo $1,880,000 additional
geld bonds. Treasurer Augier report* that he
does not know what has beeomo of th*m.
The letter of ex Governor Bullock, dstod
Deoember 1,1871, makes this slatemiint:
Tbo only lead* of the Htste marketable and
saleable, unit for trfiirj, the Stair it liable, insued
during my administration, aro the bonds pre
pared and execoted by Governor Jenkins, the
quarterly coupon gold bonds and the semi
annual gold bonds given in cxebango to Hie
llrnoawiok and Albany Railroad. Of the latter
the State should only iccogmxo them aa bind
ing when the road ia completed and in opera
tion to Outhbert. My views on that subject are
embodied In my proclamation putting the road
in the hands of CoL Screven. Tbe same is trne
aa to tho indorsement given to that road.
The documents certainly go to show that
whatever Gov. llullock don't know abont the
State indebtedneaa, the means of information
with tbo State authorities la quite limited. But
we repeat, whatever State endorsement of rail way
aid bond* may or may not be recognized aa
bioding, is not a mottrr of opinion, but of
positive constitutional law, which neither Leg
ialatnre nor Governor can set aside or amend.
If. at the time of the endorsement of these
bonds, all tho constitutional requirements have
been complied with, it is a valid and binding
endorsement; otherwise it hss no force, nor
oaa tho Legislstnre or Governor giro it any.
WHAT A FULL VOTE FOlt SMITH
WILL MEAN.

CANDIDATE FOB GOVERNOR A BIO VOTE.

The Tu on the I’reaa Naapendcd
until the I.rglilatnrc Meet* In Jan-
nary.
Tbo publisher* in Atlanta applied to the au
thorities to suspend tho collection of tho tax on
tho press nntil tho Legislature meet* in Jann-
^lii* was proper. Tbe Conatitntion for itidf
1* sot aolidtuns, bat la a matter of importance
to tbo press of the State generally. The andden
collection of the accumulated taxes of year* will
prove no alight burden upon many. We thank
the authorities for this needed act, and in Jan-
nary wa trust the matter may bo looked into
fall/.
We will publish the correspondence with, and
the order of, tbe Comptroller General, in our
next issue. It wa* reoetved too late for this.—
Conrtitvtion.
Let our Atlanta contemporaries, for thorn-
eelve* and tbe craft, embody the views of the
press oo this subject in a memorial lo the Leg
islature.
Be suggest, with all due respect, that tho op-
position to the exemption from tax of the im
plements need in printing, doe* not seem to be
founded upon a comprehensive and liberal view
of the subject. We need not set np as a plea a
fact which has passed into proverb—the gener
ally impecunious condition of tbe brotherhood
of tbo press; for that, in itself considered, is no
reason why the tax should not be imposed. But
there are moat abundant reasons in tho very ex
igencie* of the State and the vast amount of
service tho newspaper press performs for the
government and the people without fee or re-
ward, why the mero tcoD they use in doing it
abonld not be taxed. A person who runs public
•rand* gratuitously may well bo relieved from
toll.
Now to estimate tho amount ot service ren
dered by tho newpa)>ers to tho government and
people gratuitously is well nigh impossible.
All tbo communication between tho govern
ment and people which is of much practiosl
service is performed by the newspapers with
out any compensation from tho government
and moat of it with very inadequate compensa
tion from any body. All the proceedings of the
Legislature and tbo courts reach tho people
through tho newspapers without cost to Gov
ernment. The State pays a few thousand dol
lars to print decisions, laws and journals which
are of uso only as records. All that the govern
ment wishes to be known to the people and
which most be promptly known for all tho im
portant ends of government, is communicated
in ninety-nlne cases out of the hundred withont
a cent's expense, by tho newspapers. It is
hardly possible to estimate in dollars the value
of the service performed gratuitously as to tho
government by the nowspapera, and therefore
in the cause of good government and of popu
lar intelligence tho newspapers are entitled to
tbe roost liberal consideration.
But it will be alleged that tbe uewapayara
reap their compensation from the people. That
is not so true as it ongbt to be. Judgiog from
our own experience for many years, the news
papers do not get back a tithe of their extraor
dinary expenses incurred simply in reporting
tbe legislation of tho General Assembly by cor
respondents and telegrams, and yet bow essen
tial aro all these reports to the prompt informa
tion of tbe people. The expense is inenrred in
a mere spirit of emulation and with a laudable
dasiro to keep np with tbe progress of tho age,
but we can safely aay that every session of the
Legislature is itself a heavy tax on the nowspa
per*.
XY'o say, then, that every consideration of jus-
tiea and an enlightened regard for tbe public
service ought to bavo impelled the General
As-embly to let the exemption of printers'
tools in trade alone, and we hope there will lie
no doiicaey among the brethren of tbo press in
Georgia in saying so with all plainness of speeoh.
In deciding to the contrary tho Legislature did
not fully oonaidor tbo subject in all its manifest
equities, and we doubt not when they come to
talk it over again they will ignore the manifest
and fair claims of the press to this exemption.
ROUSING VOTE FOR SMITH.
Itcpndlntlon Sure Enough.
Tho tolegrams in our last informed ns that
aoting Governor Conley had vetoed the clause
in the general appropriation bill making provis
ion for the payment of tbe intereetof the Geor
gia bonds, issued prior lo 1868, and the validity
of which ia universally recognized. Mr. Con
ley does this in tho way of reprisals. Tbe Leg
islature had prohibited payment of interest on
bonds subsequently issued until they oould be
examined and registered according to law. At
present, nobody appears to know how many
bonds aro ont—who holds them and what for.
As a measure of self-protection it becomes nec
essary to ascertain the bona fido indebtedness
of tbe State and this bill waa passed by the
Legislature for that purpose. Mr. Conley, how
ever, determined that interest shall be paid on
all or none, vetoed the appropriation alluded to.
LET 18 HAVE A FULL VOTE.
WE CALL UPON EVERT MAN WHO HAS
TIIE WELFARE OF THE STATE AT HEART,
no matter what his “race, color

TIME ENOUGH TO-DAY TO GO TO THE

ERNOR. HE IS AN HONEST MAN, AN

MAN. HE WILL DO HIS WHOLE DUTY
LIKE A MAN AND A GEORGIAN WHO
LOVES HIS COUNTRY AND DESIRES HER
PROSPERITY. HE HAS A RIGHT TO BY-
PECT A FULL VOTE, AND BE 8HOULD
HAVE IT. HE REPRESENTS EVERY
THING THAT WILL MAKE GEORGIA
WORTH LIVING IN, AND AS SUCH REP
RESENTATIVE HE SHOULD HAVE THE
