ALL OF •i HEIR OPPRESSORS THAN THIS. THEY CANNOT BETTER TESTIFY THEIR GRAT ITUDE FOR THE COMING OF THE DAWN TUAN BY PUTTING SMITH IN BY A TRE MENDOUS VOTE.

SHOW THAT THE PEOPLE ABE RESOLVED THAT HENCEFORTH HONEST MEN ONLY SHALL RULE IN GEORGIA. The Election To-U»y Will bo bold at the now Court-bonao, anil wa hop* everybody will take |>aina to vote on that oocaition. I."l n« pile ni> aa larges vote u pos- hible. The Ntate ladebledarw*. 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.

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 OB PREVIOUS CONDITION," TO TAKE TIME ENOUGH TO-DAY TO GO TO THE POLLS AND TOTE FOR SMITH FOR GOV- ERNOR.
