*■* MESSAGE OF GOV. JENKINS.
executive department,
JllLLEDGEYlLLE, (jrKORfl
February Gth, 1866
To the General Assembly:
With'this cofnmunication, I transmit copies of the pro
ceedings of the Stockholders of the Bank of Augusta, the
Augusta Insurance and Banking Company, the City Bank,
and the Mechanic’s Bank, located in the city of Augusta.
It will be seen that the two former make positive surren
ders of their charters; that the two latter have taken initia
tory steps to the same end, and that they all have provided
for the assignment of their assets, real and peisonal, for the
benefit of theircreditors; thatact having been, at the date of
their communication, completed by the President and Di
rectors of the Augusta Insurance and Banking Co.
You are well aware of the legislation of your predeces
sors, alluded to in resolutions of the stockholders, and of the
action taken by the Executive, by authority of that legis
lation.
It is not questioned, I believe, that these Banks, and those
of the State generally, were, at the commencement of the
late war, in a sound condition, carrying on, within the lim
its of their several charters, a legitimate banking business.
There is abundant reason to believe, that but for thela^gc
accumulation in their hands of State securities of different
kinds, which were repudiated by the late State Convention,
under pressure of Federal authority, and of irredeemable
Confederate Treasury notes, to which accumulation they
were constrained to submit, by an unusual and rigorous
State policy, they would be in a condition to meet all their
liabilities.
If the existence of these facts be doubted, the truth of the
case may be elicited by scrutiny into their management.
If the recitals in their proceedings, herewith transmitted,
be true, they present a strong claim upon the justice of the
State, for such relief as it may be competent for the Gener
al Assembly to extend. Certainly it would seem reasonable
and beneficial, as well to them, as to their creditors, that
they be allowed to go into liquidation, under such restric
tions as may avoid protracted and harrassing litigation,
without impairing any security, provided by their several
charters, for billholdeis and other creditors. I cannot dis
miss the subject, without remarking, that if, by conforming
their conduct to statutory requirements, the Directors and
other officers have been placed in a situation, which, if vol
untarily assumed, would have subjected them to penalties
imposed by prior legislation, justice, (nut charity,) would sug
gest entire and prompt relief from those penalties. This
just measure of exemption from punishment, where there
is no guilt, could work no possible injury to creditors.
These remarks are predicated upon the statements made
in the accompanying papers, and are intended to a[>plv not
only to the Banks abqve named, their Directors and officers,
but to all others similarly situated. I commend the whole
subject to yourjust and wise consideration.
I also communicate to the Senate, for the use of both bo
dies Tii turn, a memorial from a Convention of Freedinen,
said to lmvebeeu held in the city of Augusta. Very mauy
of the subjects embraced in it, have already been submit-
ted to your consideration, and are now engaging your at
tention.
On the whole subject of their status—their relation to
the body politic—the large measure of protection and en
couragement to which they are entitled, and the confidence
I feel in your purpose, to do all in the premises, thaj; states
manship aud philanthropy may require, I have already con
ferred frebly Witli'y on.
I herewith lay before the House of Representatives, for
the use iu turn of both bodies, the final report of the Geor
gia Relief nnd Hospital Association, from which, I think,
you will fiud that the complicated and difficult trust under
taken by that body, has been discharged with commenda
ble energy and fidelity. The two documents last referred
to, are so voluminous, that with the existing pressure upon
the pfficers of this Department, copies could not be made of
them without inconveniently delaying their transmission ;
and hence the course adopted.
By the act of the Congress of the United States, passed
5th August, 1861, for the raising of internal revenue, the
direct tax assessed upon the State of Georgia, is five hun
dred and eighty four thousand, three hnndred and sixty sev
en, and one third dollars, ($584,067 03-100.)
One of the provisions of this act authorizes the assump
tion by the States severally, of the collection and payment
of their respcctives quotas, and upon such assumption and
payment*, a deduction of fifteen per cent. (15 pr. ct.) with
out further legislation only the tax of one year will now be
collected, aud the process of collection iu Georgia, from the
people directly, has commenced, though but little progress
has been made iu it.
Several of the Northern and Western States have, as I
am informed, actually assumed its collection and payment.
My information is, that the Secretary of the Treasury de
clines, without express legislation on the point, to permit
this assumption by the States lately hostile to the United
States.
Such legislation may, during the present session, be en
tertained by the Congress, and although in our present sta
tus, we shall, standing without, witness a practical separa
tion between the po.wer of taxation and the privilege of re
presentation, hitherto considered correlative and insepara
ble in free governments, we may indulge the hope, that
whilst our voices are-suppressed, our just claims will not be
ignored. On this as on other points, patiently awaiting the
prevalence of more liberal counsels, it is our part, as it is
the unmistakable purpose of our constituents, to discharge
our whole duty to the Government of the United States.
Should the privilege be accorded, it may be after your ad
journment, and in that event, any action you may deem it
proper to take on the subject, must necessarily be hypo
thetical.
Should our people, in their present exhausted condition,
be called upon to pay this Federal tax in the course of the
year, and another at or near its close, for the support of the
State government, in the next political year, the burthen
will fall heavily upon them.
In our present financial condition, it is apparent that
whatever relief, whether temporary or permanent, you may
determine to give, must be accomplished by extension of
the State’s credit. Should you incline to extend relief in
some form, and feel no other embarrassment than that re
sulting from the uncertain action of the Congress, there are
two alternatives, either of which would accomplish the ob
ject. First, you may authorize the Executive, in the event
that the privilege be accorded to the State,to borrow', upon
her bouds, a sufficient sum to pay the quota.
IF this course be adopted, it would be expedient, with
out loss of time, by resolution, to request a grant of the
privilege to assume, aud a suspension of the collection di
rectly from the people, until the question be determined by
Congress.
Secondly, leaving the people to meet for themselves this
Federal tax, you may relieve them from the payment of any
State tax during this year, for the uses of the next, and re-
the credit of the State, raihar than to the pookets of -the
people, for the support of the government, I yet teel, that a
state of things, without a parallel iu the past, aud, I trust,
in the future, may justify its present adoption", without giv
ing it the dangerous authority of precedent. That state of
things is simply this—on the one hand, a people,having
their individual pecuniary resources temporarily exhausted
by a protracted and deplorable w ar—bn the other, a State,
constituted of the same people, having large permanent re
sources, and very small indebtedness, aud therefore entitled
to abundant credit. Under such circumstances^ can it be
said, that the use of that credit, for the relief of such peo
ple, so suffering, would violate any principle of good gov
ernment or sound policy ? I have felt it my duty to ask
your consideration of the subject.
Until the year 1S64, the Reporter of the Supreme Court
was required to publish his reports in bound volumes.
By the act of 21st March in that year, he was required
to publish them “in phamphlet form instead of in bound
volumes.”
There can be little doubt that this enactment was in
duced by the state of war, then existing, but it is not limi
ted in duration, and without legislation, must continue to
control that officer. In point of fact, the events of the war
have unavoidably suspended all publication, which is felt as
a serious inconvenience. But the reputation of the able
and efficient officer, entrusted with that duty, gives ample
guaranty that their publication will be speedily resumed,
and punctually maintained. The dignity of that tribunal,
as well as a wise economy, render proper, a return to the
former mode of publication. I seriously doubt, however,
whether at the present high prices of material aud labor,
bound volumes can be afforded at prices fixed in better times.
This matter requires legislation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES J. JENKINS, Governor.

OF STOCKHOLDERS OF BANK
OF AUGUSTA.
Whereas, in the years 1861 and 1862, as appears by
the records and files of the Bank of Augusta, the Directors
thereof, under the stress of State policy, were constrained
to loan to the State of Georgia, the sum of two hundred
and thirty-five thousand dollars, ($235,000,) that in the
year 1862, the Board was again, by a sort of moral neces-
ity compelled by the Legislature to receive in payment for
all dues, and to take on deposit the Treasury Notes of the
State and of the Confederate Government, at par value, thus
being in this respect placed in a condition worse than that
of individual creditors, or corporations not engaged in
hanking—and that several hundred thousand dollais in
these securities were received by this Bank under the in
fluence of these requirements, and relying upon the faith
of the State ; and whereas, it appears by the books, that
the total circulation of this Bank is now no more than six
hundred aud sixty-one thousand six hundred and sixty-six
dollars, ($661,666,) and the assets of the Bank arc one mil- (
lion three hundred and fifty thousand five hundred and |
seventy-three 12-100 dollars, ($1,350,573 12.) and it further j
appears that of this latter sum six hundred and sixty-five |
thousand lour hundred and sixty-four 87-100 dollars, are of i
such a character, that they cannot be made available for
point another assign#*, in tijp jrlaee j
aud stead’of tjjp first assignee, with-
the sanction of the Court of Chancery,
if it be necessary.
The foregoiog Resolutions are true
copies of the original Resolutions
adopted at a meeting of the {Stockhold
ers of the Bauk of Augusta, held at
Augusta, in accordance with due notice
in conformity to the requirements of
the Charter, on the 14th day of De
cember, 1865.
(Signed,) JAMES W. DAVIES,
late Cashier of said Bank..
Note.—The proceedings of the
Banks, referred to by the Governor,
are all alike, looking to liquidation,
and we need not reproduce all of them.

ly upon aloauto supply that deficit. The material differ
ence between the two expedients would be, that although
upon either alternative, the people would be relieved from
one tax, upon the second, they would have to meet the pay
ment before realizing the fruits of the year’s labor. Very
far from countenancing the general policy of resorting to
the payment of debts, that four hundred and sixty-six
thousand five hundred and eighty-live dollars, consists of
notes and securities of this State, which this Bank was
compelled to receive at par value, as nioresaid, and which
have been repudiated and rendered valueless by the action
of the State itself; that sixty-six thousand dollars,
($66,000,) of these unavailable securities have been in like
manner repudiated by the State of Alabama, aud the bal
ance of the sum of bad debts consists of notes and securi
ties, which were received uudor the circumstances and by
reason of the pressure aforesaid, for which this Bank was
in nowise responsible; and whereas, the assets, which are
denominated good, and which at a par value are rated at
the sum of six hundred and eighty-live thousand, one hun
dred and eight 25-100 dollars, cannot be disposed of at
any thing like such value, consisting as they do chiefly of
the bonds and stocks of incorporated Companies, which
have been greatly depreciated by those disturbances, to
which the country has been so recently subjected, and can
not be relied upon to redeem the circulation aforesaid, and
this corporation is thus reduced to a condition of insolven
cy by causes which it could not control or avoid, and to
which, against the wishes and judgment of the Directors, it
has been to a great extent subjected by the authorities of
the State, as a matter of alleged State policy or necessity,
and is now liable, if continuing to exercise the Corporate
franchise, to many expensive and vexatious suits at law, to
the prejudice of the stockholders, and other parties in in
terest :
1st, He it therefore Resolved by (his meeting. a. majority of
the Stockholders of this Corporation convened in terms of the
Charter, That as a measure of justice to ourselves and to
all creditors of the Corporation, this meeting should sur-
surender and abandon, and we do hereby surrender and
abandon to the State of Georgia, that act of incorporation
or charter, which by the General Assembly of said State
lias been granted to the President, Directors and Company of
the Bank of Augusta—reserving to ourselves only such
and so much power, authority and franchise under said
charter, as is necessary and proper for the due and le
gal execution, by the officers of this Corporation, of a
deed or conveyance, by which the property and assets’of
said corporation, except such and so much as shall be re
quired to pay the balance of salary due to any remaining
ollicer, with necessary counsel’s lees, and incidental expen
ses incurred by said officers for the interest of this corpo
ration, shall be assigned, transferred and conveyed to some
fit and proper person, for the payment of debts and liabili
ties according to law.
2nd, Resolved, That John Bones, Esq., the President,
and James W. Davies, Esq., now acting as Cashier of this
corporation, for the purposes expressed in the above Reso
lution, shall have full power and authority for the Stock
holders of the said corporation, to execute, sign and seal,
with the corporate seal or their private seals, all such deeds
of conveyance, or other waitings, as may be necessary fully
to carry into effect such assignment.
3rd, Resolved, That if it should be the pleasure of the
General Aesembly to provide by legislation for the imme
diate liquidation of the insolvent Banks of this State, and
to direct that a Receiver be appointed for each Bank, to
dispose of the assets according to law, then and in such
case, it is hereby consented and agreed, that the assignee of
this Bank as contemplated by the above Resolution, may be
converted into such Receiver, and shall have authority to
dispose of said property and assets, as by law provided
4th, Resolved, That, to the venerable President of this
Corporation, to the Cashier and to the other officers, who
have so long, diligently, and ably administered its affairs,
the true, sincere and hearty thanks of the Stockholders are
hereby rendered, desiring as we do, that in this parting
hour, this testimony to their uprightness and faithfulness,
may be entered upon the records of the corporation.
5th, Resolved, That this Preamble and,these Resolutions
be entered upon the book of minutes, and a copy there
of furnished to the Governor.
6th, Resolved, That in the event of the death of the as
signee before the complete winding up of the affairs of this
corporation, the said John Bones and James W. Davies, as
the agents of this convention, may have authority to ap-
