Tite Committee on Finance, in discharge of a portii | of the duties assigned them, have examined the boo) 1 and accounts of the Comptroller General and find the. correct. They have also examined the office end accounts t the Treasurer, nnd find his disbursements fully suppori j ed by proper vouchers. As tile late incumbent in tl ; re usury Office luid gone out, snd another been sppoir 1 ted to supply his place during the interregnum betwre j R' l ’ ‘a" l al ‘ I present session, the examination into the offi rial nets of each has been as scutching ns possible, Li I not mors thorough than satisfactory. But one slight em J wn ” detected, and that in favor of the late Treasurer. We find that there was in the Trcnsuiy on tlie 2t>t 1 October, 1816, a balance of 9395,536 5 | To which add total receipts from ill sources, during the past year, say to 90th Oct., 1817, 316,014 2 Making oaiggregule of $711,550 * And deduct the total of disbursements to tile sums period 299 <; j Leaving a balance in the Treasury, )lh October, 1817, of 302,251 5 j Since which period, up to 23d Nov.

Your Committee will now proceed to show the pro bable wants of the Treasury and its means, for 1848 and 1849, under the present laws, several of the fruitful sour ces of income, else than from taxation, having ceased. The expenditures for 1848 will probably vary but lit tle from the following: j Pay of members and officers of J the General Assembly, $52,000 Civil establishment 44,000 Contingent fund 10,000 Military fund 1,000 ! Printing fund 10,000 Interest on public debt, including 8 per ct. bonds 106,000 Sinking fund , 75,000 University of Georgia 2,000 Indigent Deaf and Dumb 2500 Lunatic Asylum 9 ( 000 Penitentiary Inspector and Chaplain 650 Military Storekeepers, Savannah and Mil ledgeville 450 Miscellaneous appropriations, 20,000 $332,600 The estimated receipts may be as follows, viz: General tax $250,000 Tax on Hank stock 20 000 Dividends on SIO,OOO Bank stock 600 From lands 3soo Making $274,100 Winch being deducted from expenditure leaves a deficiency of 53 500 Deduct surplus of 1847 20 000 Leaving a deficit of $38500 Estimated expenditures for 1849: Civil establishment $43,175 Contingent fund 10 000 Military fund 1,000 Printing fund 9 Interest on public dept 98.000 Sinking fund 75,000 University of Georgia 2,00° Lunatic Asylum 9500 Indignent Deaf and Dumb 2,500 Penitentiary Inspector 500 Chaplain 159 Military Storskeepers, Savannah and Mil ledgeville 439 $244,275 Add deficit of 1848 38,500 $282,775 Estimated receipts under eii ting laws: General tax $250,000 Tax on Hank stock 99 qqq Dividends on SIO,OOO Bank Stock 600 From lauds 3500 Making $274,100 \\ inch being deducted from expenditures leaves a probable deficiency at the end of the financial year, of $8,657 Tins result, your Committee are aware, may be con siderably varied by two causes—the appropriations may be more or less and,the.amoum ol interest due on federal IhmiJs yet uncalled for, may exceed our calculations It is, then-lore, advisable, dull ample provision be made to guard against contingencies. The Sinking Fund should not, underauy circumstances, be fen than seven ty-live thousand dollars annually, and a very small in crease of taxation would be adequate to the demand upon fire Treasury, nnd at the same time enable the State to curry on, to its early completion, the great work In which she lias been so praise worthily engaged lor years , nnd ilia confidently believed thut the equaliza tion of taxation on the ndvalorrni principle will raise an amount equal to the wnutaof the Government, and fin ish our great public work. The public debt, consisting of bonds issued St the Ex’ erutlve Department under authority of law, amounts to Ihe sum of $1,579,875 60, one hundred and lorty-two thoiuaud seven hundred and twenty-four dollars and eighty cents of which constitutes our foreign debt, at, 1 * is payable iu London. This debt bears interest lit live percent , and is payable semi-annually in the months ot March and September. This debt was contracted iu 1839, the Immls having thirty year* to tun. The inter est lias l-ei-ti punctually paid, and most of the original debt extinguished. That portion of il bclJ by Messrs. Kied, Irving St Cos., amounting to $72,721 80, aliould Ire |Mini wilh as little delay as practienble. The means are in the Treasury, and will doutlcss be applied at the earliest practicable day. It is fur various reasons desir able that ihe remaining fifteen tliousmid |s>u<ids, in the hands of the lfeau ot Litchfield, be made payable in the United States; rind i! that cannot be done, the bomla should be purchased as soon as tin- Treasury is in condi tion to do so. Premium on exchange, coinmiasfous, risk, Ac , make a foreign debt, bcurtng live per cent, more objectionable than a domestic one paying seven.— The federal bonds ol tlie State, issued from tune to tune for the construction of the Western slid Atlanta- Rail road, anil iM-uring six per cent, interest, amount to sl. 435,250. Tire interest ou these too, ia paid semi-an nual!) at the Treasury, and lias st all limes been taiihlul ly met, and occasionally paid in advance. From tills commendable punctually, our public securities deserv edly stand at high as any in tlie Union, and investments ate constantly being sought in our liotids It is, however ■desirable, m the opinion of your committer, that the rmi-aniiual dividendsofinterest ahotddbe paid to the bond holder at all such points where it can be safely done by the Treasurer, nnd with greatsrconvenience to Ihe public creditor. Such s policy would, we have 110 doubt, appreciate our securities from one hall to one per cent. In addition to the amount of the public debt |ir<>v>- v • as slated above, it may not be amiss to recognise, at the present time, the deficit of the Centml Hank. Ab stat ed ill a funner report, the excess of 8 per cent, bonds, falling due within the present fiscal year umounts to $157.(XX1 beyond the means of the Hank ; and in 1819, an additional amount of $22,000, amounting in all, say, SIBO,OOO, which,added to $1579,875 60the State debt proper, makes the sum ol one million seven hundred and fifty-nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-five dol lais and sixty cents. This comprises the entire indebt edness ol the State, so far us the same could he ascer tained by your Committee. All ot which is respectfully submitted. Origin of the name Whig.

This party adopted as their motto, “We Hope In f Jod ’ The initials or first letter of each word combined,, read. Whig, and war - used to name or designate the party.

Such i however ih not the case. 1 was simply impelled by that spirit ol sell-preservation and desire ot justice, winch is more or loss the attribute of every human be ing. I have been repeatedly asked how 1 came to make the mistake in question—and have frequently been told an impression prevailed, that the prescription was com pounded at my store. 1 felt as every reasonable man must have felt, that such an impression was calculated to injure my business, and being as it were, just on the threshold ot life, and entirely dependent on my busi ness, every principle of justice and prudence induced inr to exculpate myself from any unjust blame, which unexplained might result very deleteriously on my pros f>ects in liie. I repeat that I neither designed to injure Mr. Shot well's superintendent who seems both cour teous and gentlemanly, nor Mr. Shotwell himself for whom I entertain feelings of kindness and regard. 1 would not willingly injuie him or any one, but on the contrary, would be well pleased to see all there in an honorable calling. In the closing sentence ot Mr. Shot well’s card, he makes use of an expression which I doubt not, it he knew what an erroneous impression it was calculated to produce, he would be the hist to cor rect, lor doubtless he is too honorable to misrepresent and too well informed on a subject known to every cit izen of Macon, viz: That 1 not only pointed out the error referred to, but by my advice, the life of the pa tient was spared, and whatever may have been the ig norance ot “medical terms,” that ignorance was not mine.
