IN SENATE. Milledgeville, Nov. 29, 1839. This Branch of the Legislature was closely engaged on yesterday in discussing by sections, the Bank Bill, and the various substitutes and •amendments submitted. No definite action is yet had. and as the detail of this debate would, witb out very lengthy explanations, be unsatisfactory, ( it is deemed expedient to await the ultimate ac , tion of the Senate, and if the Bill is adopted, I ■' will then send you a transcript of the same os passed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. November 39th, 1839. Mr. Whatley laid upon the table a for the payment of informal certificates claiming • premium on silk.

To repeal the Judiciary of 1799, so far as re lates t>> stay of Executions, A. H. Chappell, Esq. upon the subject of change of Venue, was very happy in his effort, but did not succeed in procuring by the requi site majority, the passage of the bill. He u high ly esteemed and respected here by men of all parties, for his profound erudition, his compre hensive views and spotless integrity of character. November 30th, 1839. From a vote taken in the House this morning upon a report, it is apprehended that this Legis lature will refuse the annual appropriation to Franklin College, the friends of the appropria tion were in a minority by ten, but the House is thin to-day. It will lie cruel injustice to permit this Institution, so long fostered, and so dear to Georgia, to dwindle into insignificance, by the ungenerous withdrawal from it, of the small pit tance annually bestowed. The Senate are yet quarreling over substitutes and amendments to the Bank Bill. Never per haps was there such a contrariety of opinions, such a division of sub-divisions in parties, as ap pear in this matter. At length the vote has been cast upon the all important Bank Bill, in the Senate, and with all its imperfection, it is consigned “to the tomb of ths Capulets.” The yeas and nays were record ed about dark this evening, and (there being a thin attendance of Senators) stands, yeas 30, nays 41. On Monday we shall doubtless be called to witness a spirited renewal of this interesting, but very protracted debate, in the form of a motion for reconsideration. As Sunday intervenes, doubtless much intrigue and electioneering will be brought to bear, we confidently hope however, unsuccessfully. The disturbed monetary affairs of the country, demands unquestionably some action, but not such as this bill so flagrantly vio lative of the Constitution, in impairing the obli. gallons of contracts, proposes. Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road.— The receipts of this Company, (says the Charles ton Courier of yesterday,)for the month of No vember, have been unprecedentedly large, a ihounting to upwards of $66,000, being nearly 50 per cent more than was ever before received during any one month, since the completion of the road. In March last, the receipts were $45,000, and in October, $43,000, these two months yielding more than any month preceding. During November, too, 16,000 bales of cotton were brought to market on the road, being nearly double that of any other month — the largest monthly rece ipt of cotton, previously, was 8500 bales. This business has been done with less machinery and cars, than have been on the road during the last three years, the destruction of cars, wear and tear of machinery, &c., having keen greater than the renewal. These facts must be gratifying, not only to the stockholders, but to the public generally, as it shews that business is increasing is such a ratio as to contribute largely to repair the deficiency of receipts of money on the road, and reception of cotton, during the dull season which has past. The sickness that prevailed at both ends of the road, of course proved detrimental, in a consider able degree, to the transaction of business, and the transportation of passengers, during its con tinuance. Should a favorable report, for the present month, be made, and indications are that suefc will tie the result there can lie little doubt that a considerable sum will be placed in the hands of the direction, to be applied either to reducing the debts of the company, or declaring as a dividend fur the benefit of the stockholders. Report Os the Commissioners appointed by authority of the Legislature, on the subject of the State Finances. — Continued, Now as to the resources presented by this doc ument. —The item No. 1, on the debit side, enti tled “Capital Stock,” amounting to $1,641,300 29, ia composed in part of the item No. 1, on the credit side, called “Bank Stock,” amo’ting to $1,005,0110, which if taken from the other by transfer to the State, would leave the capital stock of the BauK $536,300 29; at which it ought to be estimated, because this sum, together with the sum of $1,061,422 'Jv, No, 2 on the debit side, called “United States surplus revenue,” consti tutes the sums in money, which have been distri buted by the Central Bank, in loans to the peo kplc. As the surplus re- enue may be called for by the Federal Government, it would be ad via ble to hold the bank stock owned by the StateTa* a fund for its payment. The next items, Noe. 2 and 3, on the credit side, consii-ting of bonds, notes, Ac. -eceived from the State, and stock in the Brunswick Rail Road and Canal, cannot, we apprehend, be con sidered as available means. The items Nos. 4 and 5, consist of bills and notes discounted, amounting to $1,558,495 94. Whatever sum can be obtained from these in the course of the next year, by redactions and in dis counts, will of course constitute a part of its avail able means. Nos. 6,7, 8, 9,10, 11 and 12, do not belong to the present enquiry. No. 13, is an amount due by other banks. $l,BlB 74 No. 14, stated at $266,508, is com posed in part, of Executive war rants, bank notes, checks, Ac. and notes of the Bank of Darien, Ac., leaving in available funds, only 63,895 87 No. 15, is the specie in Bank— 46,841 65 $102,556 26 If from these imperfect materials, we attempt an estimate of resources and liabilities for the year 1840, beginning with the latter we would state them thus: The New York loan due Ist Sept 1839, $300,000 Interest on the above to I«t Sept. 1840, 21,000 i Interest on Slate bonds payable semi annually, from Ist Sept. 1839, about 42,000 Checks on time, item No. 4 in the statement of the Central Bank, (debit side) 30,000 Debt doe to other Banks by the Cen tral 2,403 46 “ “ to individual depositors, 27,862 84 Notes of the Central Bank in circula tion, 87,f1f2 00 Ordinary expenses of Government 150,0(0 00 Interest on one third surplus revenue appropriated to free school and ed ucation fund, 21,028 44 A mount to be expended on the Wes tern and Atlantic Rail Road, during the year 1840. Appropriations to be made by the Legislature of 1839, The two last items cannot be extended in this estimate. Excluding them, we have a sum of $681,916 73, liable to be called for in the year 1840. It ia true, as has been before stated, that the whole amount of deposites ih the Central Bank, or of its notes in circulation, may not be required—but if its agency is dispensed with, os productive of an expense, fpr which the State re ceives no corresponding benefit, they ought to bo provided for. Next as to resources. These are to be derived chiefly from the notes, and bills of exchange dis counted in the Central Bank, amounting on the l«th October. 1839, to $1 668,495 84. What reduction the Legislature may be disposed to re quire on this amount, and what is practicable, and of course, what sum could be obtained for dis counts on renewal, can only be stated conjectu rally. If a special act were passed, authorizing the immediate distribution of these notes and bills among the several banks, established in the vicin ity of the parties to them, for reduction and re newal, it is believed that these objects might be more speedily accomplished than by the agency of the Central Bank. The act would, of course, provide for reporta to the Treasury, at short pe riods, of the amounts received by the respective Banks, and the moneys might be drawn as requi red, by warrant of the Governor on the Treasu rer, on which the latter would endorse bis check on the Bank. Amounts received by the several Banks, and not thus drawn for, might be requi red to be paid at stated periods into the Treasury, or into a Bank at the seat of Government. The right of the State in terms of the several acta, un der which loans have been made by the Central Bank, to require a reduction of 20 per cent, per annum, on the amount of these loans is express ly reserved—and if this right were exercised by requiring a reduction of 5 per cent, on each of four succeeding renewals, at intervals of two tnontiis, beginning on the first of March, 1840, it would be less onerous to the debtors, than to re quire the reduction of twenty per centum in a single renewal.—The Banks, too, n which the notes were deposited, would without doubt assist the debtors, by discounts, in making these reductions, which would thus be complete on the Ist September, 1840. Assuming that the Legislature will adopt the measure of calling in 20 per cent, on these notes and bills amounting to $1,668,496 94, if paid it wouUyield $311,699 18 If this amount of 20 per cent re duction is realized, it will leave out standing $1,246,796 va. «* per cent, an this, If the whole were re newed, would give $74,807 80, but as much of this paper may lie over without renewal, and as the time when the running notes will arrive at maturity, is not ascertained, it is thought safe to reduce this amount, by stating discounts on renewals at 50,000 00 Debts due to the Central Bank by other Banks, 1,818 74 Item No. 14 in the last account of the Central Bank, estimated at $266,508, nevertheless being com posed in pait of Executive warranto, checks, commissioners Western A Atlantic Rail Road, and Darien and other uncurrent money, amounting o $212,612 13, leaves available 53,896 87 It is not stated what amount of Darien hills is in the Cental Bank, and it cer ainly is not perceived why the whole amount of these bills should be suffered, to remain una vailable during the year 1840, espe cially when the exigencies of the State require all its means.—That Bank is represented to be solvent. It must have notes and other secu rities, from which it could realize from its debts (with a productive cotton crop on hand) in the course of the ensuing winter, a considera ble amount. If the State would ap point a competent agent, and re quire the redemption of a certain a mount of its notes, say 60 percent, in two instalments, in March and June, it could be probably accom plished. We add therefore, suppo sing the amount of these notes held by the State to be $120,000, amount of Darien Bank notes to be redeem ed in 1840, estimated 60,000 Specie in Central Bank, 46,841 65 Dividends oq Bank Stock, estima ted 50,000 In looking into the statement of the Treasurer, as to the amount of tax received on Bank Slock, the undersigned are induced to believs that there is error from some source which ought to be enquired into. The whole amount which appears to have been received for that tax, in the year 1838, is $10,069 76. Acoording to the report of the See retary of the Treasury in January, 1838, the amount of the Bank Cap ital in Georgia, was $11,438,828. From the last returns we have seen, it amounts to $10,288,797 66. We shall be safe in estimating it at $lO,- 000,000. A tax of 31 cents on each hundred dollars, was originally imposed, but the act of 1832 redu ced it to fifty per cent.—so reduced it ought to produce to the Treasury, on the above amount of Bank Capi tal, $15,625 00, instead of $10,069,- 76. In 1837, the tax paid was only $8,169 17, though the amount of Banking capital was the same. In 1834 the amount of Bank capital exceeded $6,600,000.—The tax ought to have been $10,156 25. The amount paid into the Treasury was $4,660 26. These are men tioned among others, as instances of apparent error in the collection of this tax, which merit enquiry by the Legislature, as from the statement ' furnished by the Treasurer, there appears to be a considerable amount in arrear which if so, may be collec ted and made available in the year 1840, under the authority given to that officer by the act imposing the tax. The tax of 1839 willjbe prob ably paid in by most fifths Banks 1 before the Legislature can set upon I this report. It wilt ofcourte be the reduced tax of fifty per certL, but if 1 the Legislature should deteimine to ) levy, a full general tax froni the cit izens at large, for the year 1839, no reason is perceived why tfo Banks I should not nlao pay the additional fifty per cent., which will 7dd $16,- 625 00 to the reeources of 1840; at present, however, we put U down to round numbers, at $16,0001 Should the estimate of the ordinary expen* 1 ses of the Government be too low, f as may be the case, this remaining r fifty per cent, of tax upon bank I atock; would cover the deficiency. 1 Tax on Bank Stock payable Ist 1 December next, - 15,000 1 The exigencies of the State would seem to require an inmediata resort to taxation, to be rendered a variable in the year 1640. The i bonds of the State for the N. York loan of $3(10,000, ha*e been lying 1 over since the Ist September last. The faith of the State has been vio lated, and ought to be redeemed with the utmost promptitude. Every honorable feeling of State pride, ev ery just connideration of the public interest, concur in makibg this re -1 quisition, We must pay this debt in justice to our creditors—we must pay it promptly, to evince our own sense of the obligation of suck con tracts, Wo must accompany the provision for its payment, with such an exhibit of our resources, and auch a manifestation of our deter mination to call them into action, as will give confidence to capitalists, from whom we may desire future accommodations. To effect this, it will be inditpenaible that the full amount of our general tax, under the existing system, should be paid into the Treasury during the year 1840. Happily it ia within the pow er of the Legislature, to accomplish this object in the session of 1839. The act of 1832, reduced the gener al tax, fifty per cent, and that of 1836 which hag been annually re-cnacted since, directed the Collectors to pay over the amount collected to the County Treasurers. Under these provisions, returns have been made for the year 1839, and the digests are now in the hands of the respec tive Collectors. It is only necessary to repeal these acta, and by a spe cial act of the Legislature, to direct the Collectors to collect and pay in to the Treasury, the full amount of the general tax for the year 1889. If they are required to deposit the •mwmU Annk Uhm to UoM» in the banks in their vicinity, to the credit of the Treasurer, the'tax will be sooner realized. Should any ob jection arise from the fact that fifty per cent, of that tax, has been ap propriated to the Counties, it would be better to collect this tax, in addi tion to the full amount payable into the Treasury, than that the faith of the State, and the honor of the State should not be redeemed. There was paid into the Treasury for the State’s half of the tax for 1634, $51,364 32, accoiding to the report of the Treasurer 5 while the Comptroller, who returns the State’s moiety at $56,024 36, states the amount paid into the trea sury to be only $39,192 18. These discrepancies may, j.crimps, be ex plained. It is not necessary to our present purpose to attempt it. The gross amount of the whole general tax, according to the report of the Comptroller, taken from the digests of the yeas, was $112,048 72. It is reasonable to believe from the increase of population and wealth, that this amount will have been in creased during five years. Making however, allowance for the expens es of collection, we put down the the sum to be raised by taxes in aid of the liabilities of 1840, if these suggestions are adopted, at 100,000 Total amount of resources for the for the year 1640, $680,266 44 Thus it will be seen that if the - several sug gestions of this report should be adopted,, and should have the most favorable result, the resour ces of the State for the approaching year will ex ceed its enumerated liabilities, by a fraction over seven thousand dollars. This enumeration, * however, excludes all appropriation for the West ern and Atlantic Railroad, and every other ap propriation by the Legislature of 1839, except those for the ordinary expenses of the Govern ment, and for the education and school fund. It is to be hoped that the existing liabilities of the State will be met, and its faith redeemed, at whatever -ost, by the adoption of the suggestion* of this report, or others more available. But ia the great work in which the State is engaged, on which *0 large an amount of money hoe been al ready expended, the completion of which ia nec essary to secure the reimbursement of our ad vances, and which will be productive of such im mense benefit to the community—ia this great cuterprize to languish during the approaching yearl are those kindled work*, which have been hitherto conducted by individual resources, now in a '.ood degree exhausted, (he completion of which is moreover indispensable, to enable the State to realize the fruits of its own labors—are these to be arrested in their successful and hith erto rapid progress, for want of such assistance as the Slate can give them T These are ques tions which address themselves to the sound dis cretion and enlightened patriotism of every mem ber of the Legislature. Before they are answer ed, the undersigned will present to your honora ble body, such a view of the resources of the State as they are enabled to take, looking beyond the year 1840. The system of taxation recom mended may be expected to yield the fallowing results, assuming the data herein before stat ed : A tax of f of one per cent, on 220,000,000 of taxable proper ty, excluding bank capital, and that of other moneyed corpora tions, to be (axed ss at present in the hands of tue Banka, will . y'* ld „ $276,000 00 A tax of 81$ cents on each tmn« died dollars of Bank capital, es timated at 10,000,000 01,260 00 Dividends on Bank stock.— These, during the year 1888, the ' last for which we have any return, yielded $74,960. Making allow ance for the situation of the Bank of Darien, and the present embar rassed condition of the country, they are here staled at 60,000 00 The redemption of the remain ing half of the billa of the Bank of Darien, it is thought ought to be required during the year 1841, and is stated conjecturally at 60,000 00 A tax of cents on the capi tal of moneyed corporations other than Banks, who shall realize a profit of 5 per cent., and are there fore liable to taxation under the propoeed system, probably 6,000 00 Supposed arrear of tax on Bank capital, from a comparison of the amount of capital in the several years, with the amount of tax ap pearing to have been received at the Treasury. The amounts of bills and notes in the Central Bank, after the pro posed reduction qf 20 per cent., for the service of the year 1840, was found to be $1,206,796 76. If 20 per cent, of this sum bn paid in the year 1841, it will amount to 240,869 36 Which last mentioned sum be ing deducted from the former, will leave after the reductions of 1841, a balance of bills and notes in the Central Bank of $997,437 21, on which interest at 6 per cent, will give $69,846 28; but allowing as before firilures to renew, we state the sum to be received on disoonnt for 1841, at 40,000 00 Total of resourcos for 1841 $710,600 35 Tha State would thus secure to itoelf an in come adequate to its wants, which after discharg ing the ordinary expenses of Government, and paying the interest of the public debt, and the ap propriation for the education fund, would still leave ample means for the endowment of tha University and the Colleges, and for the vigor ous prosecution of the public work*. Some of these sources of income are temporary, and would be exhauated in the year 1841, or in some two or three year* thereafter; but those, which, if the system is adopted, will continue as long a* it is adhered to—will be adequate to all the wants of the State. It must be remembered, too, that with the completion of the Western and Atlan tic Railroad, and the works connected with it, the heavy expenditures of the State will cease, and instead of these, we shall be in the receipt of the profits of transportation, converting expenditure info income. Such a result will place ua on a footing with those great Statea, who, have been our pioneers in the work of internal improvement, are now enjoing the rich harvest of their la bora.... Looking to the progress and present condition of the public work undertaken by the State, and of those connected with it; to the very greet im portance of their speedy completion; to the re sources of the State which are adequate, as hts beeq seen, to meet the liabilities of 1840, and to secure a competent and permanent income there after, the dictates of sound policy seem to require that none of these works should be permitted to languish, but on the contrary, that all should be prosecuted with renewed vigor. If the Legisla ture, by adapting the suggestions of this report, or others more available, shall provide means to meet the liabilities of 1640, and by establishing the system of taxation, hero recommended, or any equivalent one, shall secure a permanent reve nue thereafter, the income Os 1841 and of suc ceeding years, will be entirely competent, after providing for the ordinary current expenses of each year, to enable the State to go on promptly and steadily with its own work, to-afford liberal aid to such private enterprises as are connected with it; punctually to pay the interest on it* loans and gradually to create an accumulating fund, for the ultimate redemption of the debt which has been, and will be thus contracted. The income of that year, after paying the ordinary expenses of the Government, the interest on the debt pre viously created, and the educati in fund, and ma king a liberal allowance for any error in the esti mates, will leave the sum of nearly five hundred thousand dollars, applicable to any purpose which the Legislature may deem proper. To any amount within that limit they may there fore justifiably anticipate the resources of that year. If four milUons be required to complete the State’s work, and to give the necessary aid to others connected with it, including in this view the Georgia, Central, Monroe, and Augusta and Waynesboro’ Railroads, the interest on that sum may be promptly met, without exhausting the re source* of the year, or depriving the State of the means of giving assistance to such other private pnterpizes ss may require and deserve it.
