GOVERNOR BULLOCK. \>i» TBBAHRBR AS
GIER. ,
We give up, to the exclusion of our
usual variety, most of our space, this
morning, to the replies by the Executive
and his Treasurer to certain information
asked for by the Finance Committee of
the House, at Atlanta. It 1 1 good read
ing for tax-payers, and will repay pe
rusal. We only hope that it may result
in fully exposing every man, no matter
how high or how low his position, who
has been guilty of doing what he ought
not with the people’s money. It is very
evident that there have been, to me a very
mild term, many gross irregularities prac
tised by the Executive, with reference to
the Treasury, and they should be thor
oughly investigated. If he has been guil
ty of doing that which it is not lawful for
him to do, let him be tried, convicted, dis
graced and driven from office. If not, and
the Treasurer has slandered him, let that
official be brought to book, and the man
he assails stand vindicated.
The matter deserves the strictest investi
gation, and we hope the Finance Com
mittee will not stop till daylight shines
through all the dark places. As if is not
a political matter, we hope politics will
not be lugged in, by anybody the least
connected with the investigation. It is
simply a question of dollars and cents,
and honesty, or the contrary, in dealing
therewith. Let it be so treated. The
people of Georgia, whose money is sub
jected to these manipulations, may be
"rebels,” and " traitors,” and need a great
deal more “ reconstruction,” but their
money is as much their own as if they
were “ loyal.” It comes hard, and they
demand that it be so guarded that it shall
neither be stolen nor squandered.
THE RELIEF LAW DECLARED CONSTITU
TIONAL.
We publish, elsewhere, the decisions of
the three Justices of the Supreme Court
delivered at Atlanta, on Tuesday, upon
the constitutionality of the Relief Law.
As was expected, Brown and McKay
affirmed its constitutionality, Judge War
ner denying it.
We are uot at all surprised at the result.
Brown and McKay were put there to do
this very thing. Judge Warner begins
now to appreciate the painful character of
the position he so unwisely accepted. We
told him at the time what it entailed, and
heoow sees it for himself, if his indignant
language at the close of his opinion is any
key to what he really feels. He is tasting
the bitterest dregs of a cup against which
he was warned by his friends of the press
all over the Btate, and is denied even the
consolation of knowing that it was una
voidable. He, voluntarily, and with full
knowledge of the consequences, elected to
prefer power and place shared with those
whom he knew to be thoroughly “ de
bauched,” politically, and as his bed was
made, so must lie lie. We are sorry for
him—sorry for any man of his character
ami standing who is forced to testify his
disgust at his associates upon the Supreme
Bench of Georgia, by declaring that be
is unwilling to embalm his name with
theirs upon its records as Infamous, and
as a debauched judicial officer !
“STILL HARPING”—THE COTTON MANIA.
We are very strongly moved to let the
people hereabouts who are daily develop
ing so many symptoms of cotton -phobia,
have no rest until they give up their
delusions, and become ratioual again. We
do not believe the same time, ink, and
paper can be devoted to a better purpose.
It is a crisis that demands a treatment
heroic In its nature, and constant in its
application till there are symptoms of
improvement. We have the miserable
scenes of 1867 so deeply written on our
memory, that we cannot forget them if we
would. The shifts and expedients to
.shuttle along somehow, any how, that
year, the mortgages, and bonds, and liens,
and every other contrivance to hamper
industry and paralyze men’s muscles and
liof'es—are uot all these fresh in the mind
of every well wisher to the country and
its interests? Is there uot danger on every
hand of their repetition? Why shall we
not speak out, then? Why should not
every man speak out who sees the danger
and knows the long train of evils it drags
behind it? We confess, sometimes, to a
feeling of indignation that men who have
had so much light withiu the past two
years, should persist in returning to dark
ness. The cotton planters of Georgia
ought to be the shrewdest aud wisest men
in the world, if experience gives those
qualities. They were tried first in the
fiery furnace of war, and next in that of
their own folly and errors, and still seem
not to know its uses.
Many of them say editors are presump
tuous ill trying to teach them anything;
fellows who sit up in offices and never,
from year’s end to year’s end, leave city
limits. They scoff at the idea. Well, per
haps it is all true, but grant these editors
a moderate share of common sense and
judgment, and they caunot fail to see
that if men do a certain thing at one time,
and suffer the worst consequences from it,
and then, at another time, and under the
same circumstances, do the very same
thing again, they will suffer the same
consequences. We all know that the
planters of Georgia were hard hit in 1867,
by giving up everything to cotton and
having provisions to buy. We know that
many men who might have been on high
ground now, if they had raised their own
provisions, were irretrievably ruined that
year. The most fortunate of them all did
almost as bad as bad could be, while the
majority were literally swamped. Sup
pose just the same state of affairs this
year as then, cotton at hardly the cost of
production, and no provisions, and may
be the State in the hands of its worst
euemies, politically, will 1869 differ from
1867? Not at all, that we can see.
We repeat what we have said so often :
The only safe plan is to secure, beyond
peradventure, a full provision crop, and
then make your profits on cotton. It is
a policy that cannot fail. It may not be
the policy to make a few very rich, but it
certainly is the policy to make the many
comfortable. It has the advantage of
having been tried, and thoroughly tried,
tried with results that are evident on eve
ry hand in the stride Georgia has made
towards prosperity within the twelve
mouth. We do not well see how men can
shut their eyes to these things, but it
seems they do. And if we can open them
ever so little, we intend to do it. So shall
our duty to them, to ourselves, and our
common country be best performed, and
the pleasing consciousness be won of hav
ing aided in a work to whose importance
the strongest language can hardly do jus
tice.
The Blue Bilge Railroad.—The
Anderson (8. C.) Intelligencer , of Thurs
day last, announces the return of General
Harrison, the President of the Blue Ridge
Railroad. The Intelligencer says: “Gen.
Harrison speaks hopefully of the prospect
for an early resumption of the work. It
is confidently expected that the portion of
the road from Walhalla to Clayton , Ga.,
-will be let to contract by the Ist of May.
A bill is now before the North Carolina
Legislature for aid to the extent of one
million of dollars, and the friends of the
enterprise there are sanguine as to its suc
cess. ‘
Double Sunday Trains.—The Intelli
gencer states that double passenger trains
are now run on the State Road, on Sun
day.
THE SUPPLY OP MEAT.
The advanced and advancing price of
bacon and bulk meats has probably at
tracted the attention of most of our read
ers, says the Columbus Enquirer. The
Western packers and dealers are indulg
ing in calculations of higher prices than
any they have obtained since the war,
and their anticipations are based upon the
increased demaud to come from the Soflth.
The circular of a Bt. Louis packer, from
which we make an extract below, assumes
that the South will this year buy and con
sume double the quantity of Western
meat that it consumed last year. We do
not know upon what data this statement
is founded, but we hope that it is far from
correct. The difficulties of raising pork
at the South have, we know, alarmingly
increased since the “freedom” of the ne
groes. But this very advance in meat,
founded upon its scarcity at the Boutb, is
enough to convince planters of the im
policy of planting too much cotton, to the
neglect of the provision crops. We now
see that the Western hog raisers and
dealers have been euabied to effect a con
siderable advance in the price of meat, by
the happening of just such a state of
thiugs in their market as that which has
produced a great advance in the price of
cotton. They say that their hog crop is
short; that the consumption exceeds the
supply; that the stock of bacon at the
South (the chief buying section) is lower
now than it has been for a long time, and
that the demand is hurrying their meat
to market much soouer than usual. This
is precisely the condition of things that
has carried cotton up to its present figure.
It should admouish cotton planters that a
large crop of their staple reacts against
their own interests in two ways—it pre
vents the condition that has made the
existing improvement in prices, and it
enables those who supply them with pro
visions to run up their prices pari passu
with the advance in cotton.
It is true that the old plau of letting
hogs run at large most of the year will not
now answer at the South. But it is equal
ly true that it will not do for cotton plant
ers to buy the most of their meat from the
Western hog raisers. It becomes, there
fore, a question of plantation economy
whether it will not “pay” to lay off lots
for the hogs, in which may be cultivated
for them crops maturing successively
throughout the year—say oats for spring
and summer, peas and peanuts for the
fall, and rye and turuips for the winter.
Though our people have “accepted the
situation” imposed upon them by the re
sult of the war, they have yet much to
accomplish in order to adapt their house
hold and plantation economy to the new
order of things, and this matterof raising
their own meat is one of the objects re
quiring serious consideration.
The following is the extract from the
circular of the St. Louis packer, above re
referred to:
Eyidence daily accumulates, going to
show that the present year the South will
demand and consume double the quanti
ty of provisions that she did last year. In
view of this fact, what is the condition of
the trade in the hog product of the West
at this time? The South is consuming
meat of the new crop, while the old stock
was consumed long before new cure could
be got forward. This is unusual for the
season, and is of great importance. In
the face of this fact we have the evidence
that there is at least an even chance for a
small crop of hogs to give us the meat for
the coming wants. Could we come up to
last year’s crop we should then be deffl
cient, for that only met the necessities,
which were cramped by the lack of means
to pay. Now, with increased facilities for
payment, and a consumption so far, of the
new crop, astonishing and uuusual, and
yet legitimate, as we have before this re
marked, the “hog product” to be short
this year in any event tliatcau now occur.
Some writers are descanting upon the fact
that the present high prices are checking
the exportations. To our miud this is of
little concern, for, from present appear
ances, the West will have no provisions
to send out of the country. The home
consumption will be as much as we can
meet, aud we may not. be able to even do
that, if tiie hogs do not come forward in
larger supply than they have done thus
far, and that a majority predict they will.
Relative to high prices, we state, without
fear of contradiction, that he who buys
hogs at 9£e. gross, and sells the product at
the preseut market rates, losses money on
every hog slaughtered. One thing is pal
pable, either hogs must come down in
price or the product must go higher than
auy price we have yet seen. It is estima
ted that at the present time the stock of
lard is only about half, and that of pork
only about one-quarter of the stock of last
year at Chicago, and other points also
short.”
COMPTROLLER GENERAL'S REPORT.
We have received a copy of this report
covering the period from August 11, 1868,
to January Ist, 1569, and submitted to the
Executive on the 12th inst.
only room for some brief ex
tracts from it.
It apppears that the receipts into the
Treasury from August 11th, 1868, to Jan
uary Ist, 1869, including amount turned
over by Rockwell, Military Treasurer,
were and that the expenditures
for the same period were $430,957 77, leav
ing a cash balance on hand on January
Ist of $116,695 65.
The assets of the State are stated by the
Comptroller to be as follows :
1838 shares Bank of the State of Geor
gia, worthless. 890 shares Bank of Au
gusta, worthless. 186 shares Geo. R. R. &
B. Cos., at S9O per share, $16,740. 10 000
shares A. & Gulf R. R. at $35 00, $350,000.
The Western & Atlantic R. R., stretch
ing from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chatta
nooga, Tennessee, belongs to the State of
Georgia, and is yielding to the State
$25,000 per month, net revenue. It is re
quired by law to report this Road without
any stipulated value. Aud, inasmuch as
the Road and its management have been
the subject of recept inspection, and no
doubt thorough investigation by a Joint
Committee of the General Assembly, it
would be a work of supererogation toeuter
into details as to its va ue and present or
future profits, even if the law required it.
I deem it also unnecessary to enter into
details in reference to the public property
about Milledgeville, for a similar reason.
The State, duriug the war, was interested
with certain individuals in the manufac
ture of cards, the company being known
as the Pioneer Card Company. iSince the
war the business was suspended, the ma
chinery, a large number of cards, and a
quantity of material remaining on hand.
Some of this property was sold, but how
much I am unable to say, and some still
remains at Milledp’eville.
There are in the State 30,816,025 acres of
land, valued at $87,117,616. The aggregate
value of city and town property is $38,-
473,905; of money aud solvent debts of all
kinds $32,110,584 ; of merchandi-e $10,934,-

from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation ; ” indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their cliildren.”
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYERS
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
gstem front its destructive consequences.
ence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, hut also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Euuptive
and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Bose, or Erysipelas, Pimit.es, Pcstui.es,
Blotches, Bi.ains and Boils,Tumous, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Dkiiility, and,
indeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
in “ impurity of the blood ” is founded in truth,
forjpcrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify mid regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
AYER’S
Ague Oure 3
FOR TIIE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or IHlioue
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases originat
ing in biliary derangement, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer tne community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afflicting disorders prevail. This
“ Cure ” expels the miasmatic poison of Fever
and Ague from the system, and prevents the de- ’
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body ; and in bilious districts, where
Fever and Ague prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
tion. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if
they had never bad the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, IJyster
k. ics, Pain in the Boicels, Colic, Paralysis and De
j rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
' originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This “ Cure ” expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec
tion than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

BOWELS.
THE STOMACH is the great centre which in
fluences the health or disease of the system ;
abused, or debilitated by excess, indigestion, of
fensive breath, and physical prostration are the
na ural consequences. Allied to the brain, it is
the source of headaches, mental depression, ner
vous complaiDts. and unrefreshing sleep. The
Liver becomes affected,and generates bilions dis
orders, pains in the side, etc. The Bowels sym
pathize by costiveness, diarrbtea, and dysentery.
The principal action of these Pills Is on the Stom
ach, and the Liver. Lungs, Bowels, and Kidneys
participate in their recuperative and regenera
tive operation.
ERYSIPELAS AND SALT RHEUM
Are two of the most common and virulent dis
orders prevalent on this continent. To these the
Ointment is especially antagonistic. Its modus
operandi is first to eradicate the venom, and then
complete the cure.

Cases of many years' standing, that have perti
naciously refused to yield to any other remedy or
treatment, have invariably succumbed to a few
applications of this powerful unguent.
ERUPTIONS ON THE SKIN,
Arising from a bad state of the blood or chronic
diseases are eradicated, and a clear and trans
