WAS CLEWS BULLOCK’S BING
MASTER ?
The Atlanta Sun seems to think that
Clews was Bullock’s ring-master. The
Sun says :
“ Clews need not try to make the peo
■pie-of Georgia believe that bis claim is
all honest, or that he has not been one
of the chief members of the Ring which
was formed to plunder us. He occupied
the place where every man would go to
find the ring-master.”
Heretofore public opinion assigned
this position to Hi Kimball. Clew's
statement would rather .indicate that he
held the other position, and that public ■
opinion was correct in locating the rela
tions of the parties.
HENRY CLEWS.
It is a stretch of charity and credulity
not to believe that Clews was then deep
er in the swindling scheme than any one
else—not even Bullock and Kimball ex
cepted. A portion of the testimony he
quotes was written before much of the
mischief was actually done ; and some
of it long after he and all the world were
put on notice that the bonds were ille
gally issued, and long after the most
prominent bankers and financers of New
York so regarded them.
On the 23d of November, 1870, a
member of the great banking house of
Jay Cook & Co., was in Atlanta, and
tried to see Bullock—failing in which
he addressed him this letter :
Atlanta, November 23, 1870.
JUs Excellency, Governor Bulloch :
Dear Sir— Having the honor to rep
resent the house of Messrs. Jay Cook &
Co., and feeling a deep interest in State
securities, especially of the Southern
States, I endeavored to avail myself of i
your knowledge and experience, add am
greatly disappointed that I cannot have
the pleasure of seeing you.
I am sorry to learn from Mr. James
and others that there is a controversy as |
to the validity of the Georgia State j
bonds. The controversy appears to arise
out of the requirement* of the law, mail
ing it the duty of the State Treasurer to
sign, officially, all the coupons, &c., and 1
keep a record and description of all
bonds issued. I
Now, without considering the merits
or demerits of either side, just so long :
as the controversy lasts between your |
Excellency other*, long y»ftr
bonds cannot bo negotiated ; or, if ne- j
gotinted, it must be done at a great sac
rifice to the State until this is settled.
I have examined your Code and the
different acts respecting State bonds,
and see no way to make your bonds
what is called “ a good delivery," short
of the State Treasurer signing them
officially, and placing them on record,
with a hill description, as required by
the law. This done, I think your bonds
will not only bring a good price, but
you would find uo difficutly in negotiat
ing them. . '
1 trust you will not consider me inter
fering by recommending this course, as
it is done to promote your interest, and
that of your State. The Treasurer, as
Mr. Jmnos iuforms me, and as he states
himself to me, will, if you desire, sign
the coupons of the gold bonds as they
now are, diagonally across the face.—
This, I think, meets the requirements of
the law; first being recorded in the
Treasurer’s office before placing them on j
the market.
I go from here to Galveston, byway
of Columbus, Mobile and New Orleans, j
and hope to have the pleasure of seeing )
your Excellency on my return.
Your friend and obedient serv’t,
K. W. Latham. I
It is proper for us to remark that, at i
the date of this letter, Treasurer Angier ;
had no knowledge of the amount of
bonds which had been issued by Bullock.
He had not seen them, and none were j
reported to him for registry in his office.
He did not then know of any over-issue.
He had taken pains to notify the world
that the bonds were illegally issued, and
Clews must have known it. It is impos
sible that a knowledge of the fact could
have escaped him. Still he advanced j
money on these bonds —holding them as
collateral security. He supposed, no
doubt, that the State would not refuse to
pay them in full. He took the risk. He
“went in”—expecting to win. He is ;
confronted with the prospect of coming
out loser, and he affects a very large
amount of innocence, and assumes a
virtuous indiguation. •
“ These bonds, so far as the coupons j
are concerned, not being executed ac- i
cording to law, and not registered in the j
Treasurer'* office as the law requires, I (
have no data by which I can arrive at ,
the exact amount of new bonds issued.
I have made several attempts to learn
the amount and disposition made of the j
bonds, but the financial agent, who has
them in charge in New York, has been
instructed by the Governor to with- ;
hold all information concerning them.
Enough, however, has been learned to
authorize the statement that nearly five
millions have been issued and sent to
New York. This attempt at conceal
ment leaves grounds for grave supieions;
and it would well behoove an honest Ex
ecutive to expose such fraud against the
State,”
And further, the Treasurer states that
iu his previous annual report, his state
ment of the necessary disbursements for
the vear was 8500,000, and adds :
“‘This was ample for all honest and
practical purposes ; but reekless and
pillaging hands have run them up to
nearly twice that amount.”
And the Treasurer concludes by say
ing : “ Over four and a half millions
of neiv State bonds have been issued,
which the Governor, in his anxiety to
keep concealed from the Treasury De
portment, failed to have executed and
registered as the law requires.”
This was published to the world and a
copy furnished to Clews, early in Janu
ary* He was one of the principal officers
of* the B. & A. R, R-, and must have had
the law and the Constitution of Georgia
before him. He could not have helped
knowing the bonds were unlawfully is
sued aud were intended from the first to
be a swindle ! So it seems to us.
Bullock not only issued these bonds in
violation of law, which Clews must have
known, but he kept what he did, oon
eealed from- the Treasurer as far as pos-

If Clews’ transactions with Bullock
and Kimball in relation to the bonds of
the State, and its endorsed bonds were
all fair, honorable, and well-intentioned,
why did he, on one occasion, in his own

this be true, why was it ? We learn that
Mr. Johns had advanced some money on
Bullock’s bonds, and was becoming sus

LETTER PROM OUR TRAVELING
CORRESPONDENT.
On the Wing, January 19, 1872.
Editors Chronicle <t- Sentinel :
Monday morning, 4he loth inst., at 2
o’clock, I left Atlanta for Griffin. The
railroad fever pervades the community.
In the early morning I fell into a conver
sation with a gentleman who was not
j very favorably impressed with the man
agement of the proposed Monticello
route. He said he had taken a sub
contract for grading a portion of the
road, but his drafts on the management
had not been honored as promptly as he
had been promised they should be. Evi
dently the sinews are wanting and they
must be supplied ere this new enterprise
can become an assured success.
The route is certainly a desirable one.
The interests of the people demand that
the early completion of the road should
be at beyond a peradventure.
THE PRESS.
I had the pleasure of spending a few
minutes in the office of the Middlt
Georgian, which is flourishing and to
flourish. The Georgian is a neat, well
filled, and an exceedingly readable paper.
Colonel A. M. Speights, lately asso
ciated with Hon. A. 11. Stephens in the
proprietorship of the Atlanta Sun, is
rapidly maturing preparations for the
publication of a live daily in Griffin.
Colonel Speights’ practical knowledge
of the business, deserved popularity, and
genuine enterprise, are sufficient guaran
tees of what his paper will be. I wish
him great success.

gentleman of tine attainments, splendid
address, and spb„lC aptness for teach- j
iug, is the President. His corps of as- |
sistants enjoy enviable reputations us
successful instructors of youth.
It was my privilege to add to the list |
of my acquaintances, among the pro- !
gressive teachers of the South, Mrs.
Morrow, who conducts a well-patronized
female seminary; Mrs. George and
Miss Davis, who jointly teach a select
school for boys and girls ; Miss McGee,
who teaches a clever primary school,,
and Mr. Kogers, who is the head of a
select school for boys. My impressions
are that each and all of these teachers
ore well up in their profession, and that
they are accomplishing a great deal of
good in the community of which they
uro honored members.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The leaven is working. Griffin wants,
and is determined to have a graded svs- |
tem of public schools, to be operated
under a local law. I talked this matter
over with some of her staunchest men.
They will soon take steps toward secur
ing the passage of a local school law at
the next session of the Legislature.
I did not see enough of

To write an intelligible dosoription of

Capt. James P. Harrison, the indefati- i

Occasion may offer for me to see
Forsyth again, possibly I shall then
have time to note its beauties and at

the county, are all in an A No. 1 condi

Prof. Shelton P. Sanford.
He lias done a great thing for the
youth of Georgia and of the South in
giving them the only thoroughly analv

State until the Grand Jury thereof, by the
same vote required to make a present
ment, shnll, by special presentment, so
recommend at the Spring term of 1872
of the Superior Courts of said counties.
Sec. 2. The said County Judges shall
have jurisdiction in all civil cases, mat
ters of contract and of tort, (except
where by the Constitution an exclusive
jurisdiction is given to the Superior
Courts of the State) where the principal
sum in cases of contract, and where the

with the judgment of the County Judge,
and the principal sum claimed, or
damage claimed, exceeds fifty dol
| lars, said party may enter an ap

the Constitution of 1868, shall apply to
tlie said certioraries sued out to the de
cisions or judgments of the County

the Judge of the Superior Court in- va
cation, or at the regular term of the Su
perior Court, - in accordance with said

of the Peace, and shall be levied on

law regulating claims as provided in sec
tion 4100 and 4101 of the Code) be dis
posed of by said County Judge instead
of the jury required in said section 4101,
but the some right of appeal and cer
tiorari shall exist as in the cases above
provided in section sth, and if an affida
vit of illegality is taken to the proceed
ings of said County Judge, to the ex

posed of until the County Judge has j
given ten days' notice of the time and I
place of hearing the same, to the parties j
interested or their agent or attorneys at |
law.
Sec. 7. The County Judge herein !
created shall have the same power to I
procure testimony from witnesses in his
county (to compel production of papers), |

sessory warrants, to issue and dispose of
distress warrants—to issue attachments,
garnishments, to foreclose mortgages of
personal property! liens, to attest deeds
and other contracts for registry, to
administer oaths of all sorts, to exercise
the same power as was given to the
officer known as the County Judge, by
the act of 1865 and 1866, in relation to
attesting, approving, enforcing, and set
ting aside court contracts, as described
in Irwin’s Revised Code; in relation to
all the matters embraced in this section,
and not falling under former provisions
of this act, the said County Judge shall

fense, in writing, under oath, as all de
fenses, in all cases before the County
Judge, of a civil nature, must be filed

of Justices of the Peace, and shall also j
carefully file away and preserve all the
legal papers oonnected with sueh pro- \
ceedings, so that the same may be used I
in other courts, and by parties inter
ested.
Sec. 11. Said County Judges, after :
being duly commissioned and qualified,
shall each, for the county over which he 1
is such County Judge, also have juris- j
diction and authority as Justices of the !
Peace in this State, upon affidavit made
before them, to issue orimiual warrants
—to be in the form, both as to affidavits
and warrants, prescribed in Section
4618 and 4619 of the Code—against all
persons accused of crimes and misde
meanors. In cases which, upon an ex
amination—which examination they are
hereby authorized to make—appear to be
felonies, said County Judges shall com
mit the party accused to jail for safe
keeping, so that his presence may be
secured for trial before the "proper
tribunal, unless the case be bailable by |
a Justice of the Peace, when the accused
may, upon complying with the lgw
respecting bail, be bound over to appear
before the proper oourt for the trial of
suoh a case, aud answer to the matters
charged against him. If the felony be
bailable as aforesaid, and defendant can- !
not give the bail, said County Judge |
! shall eommit him to jail for safe keep-
I ing, so that his presenoe may be secured
for trial before the proper oourt to try
such cases; and said County Judge,
when the felony brought before him is
bailable as above, shall have the right
to admit to bail at any time, until the
court which has jurisdiction of felonies
shall meet. In cases which do not, up
ou examination, appear to bo felonies, ■
said County Judges shall have full au- !
thority aud jurisdiction, as hereinafter ,
| provided, to hear, determine, sen
tence, decide and adjudicate up
on the same ; and to the same
extent as the District Judge under
the Act of 1870, organizing, for certain
i Districts therein named. District Courts,
unless the party accused shall, in a writ
ing signed by him, demand an indict
m&tjt bv a Grand Jury of the county in
which the misdemeanor was committed.
In that case, said County Judge shall
require of defendants demanding such
indictment good bond and security to
appear and answer to such indictment,
if found at such time and place, and be
fore such tribunal as the said indictment
tried. If no such bond and
security is given, then said County
Judge shall commit to jail fortsafe keep
ing the person so accused and demand
ing an indictment, until the proper
Grand Jury can act up the charge, and
untjMihe case can be legally determined.
If an indictment is found by said Grand
Jury, the Judge of the Superior Court
may, if he chooses so to do, order said
indictment to be returned, with all
the papers pertaining to said case, to the
County Judge, to be disposed of by him
after ten days’ notice to the party ac
cuse J and the prosecutor, as others are
yßfcjpJ es by Idm in which uo indict-
been demanded. In cases
which do not appear to be felonies, and
in which no indictment is demanded by
tlie jxsrties charged with misdemeanors,
aud in cases of misdemeanors upon
which an indictment has been found
and returned to the County Judge
for trial, said County Judge shall im
mediately proceed to hear and deter
mine "said cases, unless a continuance
shall be asked for, or jury is demanded,
as hereinafter provided ; which con
tinuance, if it falls within the rules for
thc-aritinuance of criminal cases in the
Superior Courts, shall be granted to ;
such time as is proper and just under
the circumstances. If parties accused
shall not ask a continuance, or shall be
refused a continuance, and shall de
mand a jury to try their case, instead of
the County Judge, then the case shall be
postponed until a jury can be summoned
for such trials, and jurors shall be thus
procured : Said Conntv Judge shall,
from the list of persons liable to do jury
I duty iu the county wherein he presides,
I make a list, and putting their names in
a box kept for that purpose, draw by lot
1 the names of twelve jurors, who shall
be summoned by the same Bailiff al- j
I ready provided for in this Act (he being |
! hereby fully authorized to execute all ,
\ warrants, orders, writs and precepts rel
j ative t j criminal proceedingsj to attend j
i before him at such time anil place os he :
1 may gplect, anywhere iu said county of 1
I winch he is Judge, when and where the
j aud demanding a jury 1
I trialTras accused parties are tried for
; misdemeanor in the Superior Courts of
i the Suite. The accused shall have no
' right »,f peremptory challenge to this j
jury so summoned,‘but may show any
of them not to be free from legal excep
tion, "S he can, and if such exception
is sustained by the Couuty Judge,
others persons liable to serve as jurors
shall tie summoned by said Bailill', as
tales j arors are summoned in the Supe
rior Court, until the jury of twelve men
is obtained. In order to procure an im
partial jury the Couuty Judge shall ask
the jurors under oath (which he may ad
minister) such question as will ascertain
the mental condition of the jury, and if
any are found incompetent, according
to. rules provided ih the Code, he

procmj'd. If the verdict of said jury,
which shall have the same power and
duties as juries in criminal cuses in Su
perior Courts as to law and fact, shall
be against defendant, he shall l>e sen
tenced as in cases where the County Judge
alone tries the cases. The County Judge
shall have the right to try any and all of
the criminal cases which may properly
come before him at any place iu the
county where he is Judge, and his judg
ment aud decision shall be subject to
review by certiorari, as hereinafter pro
vided.
Sec. 12. In cases where no indictment
of a Grand Jury is demanded, the Coun
ty Judge shall frame a written accusa
tion founded upon the affidavit charging
the defendant, said accusation to be in
the name of the State of Georgia, signed
by the prosecutor and distinctly setting
forth the nature of the offense charged,
the time when committed, where and
by whom, and that it is based upon said
affidavit, briefly referring to it. To this
accusation defendant may demur for in
sufficiency, or plead to the merits, and if
the accusation is held insufficient, the
County Judge shall frame another, and
another, until one is adjudged legally
sufficient, but in no case shall the per
son accused be discharged for such in
sufficiency until full opportunity is al
lowed to prepare the sufficient accusa
tion. When tne case is submitted to the
County Judge upon the pleadings as
above set forth (defendant being allowed
full opportunity also to plead and de
fend as in criminal cases in the Superior
Court), the ConntyJudge shall give both
parties, aocuser and accused, time, if
necessary, for a fair and impartial hear
ing, aod said County Judge shall, on the I
toil before him or a jury, make a thor
ough and careful examination of all the
witnesses and testimony, and in no case
allow either the State or the accused to
be prejudiced from any want of an ex
amination or cross-examination of the
witnesses in thfi’base before him. After
the case is submitted, upon the evidence
and law, the County Judge, or the jury,
if a jury is demanded, shall, in ascer
taining the guilt or innocence of the
pn»*y accused, be governed by the same
rule as govern juries in criminal cases in
the Superior Court. If the decision of
the <V?inty Judge, or the verdict of the
j&y is against the defendant,
County Judge shall at once sen
tence ' the accused according to j
i law, and the rifles of law governing
| Judges of the Superior Courts in sen
tencing partios found guilty of misde- I
meanors. If the decision of the County
Judge, or the verdict of the jury is in i
favor of the accused, he slnfll be dis
charged from the accusation Wl tried,
aud when said Judge ur jury shall be
lieve the accusation to be malicious,
such Judge or jury may so find, and as- 1
sess all the costs against the accuser. —
So, also, in all oases where the aocuser
shall fail to prosecute the ease, said
Judge shall order that the accuser shall
! pay all the costs of the case from begin- i
mg to end inclusive, with the jail fees.
Sec. 13. Whenever said Oounty Judge
shall adjudge that costs are to be paid,
either by the accused or the prosecutor,
the costs shall bo assessed os follows—
in all cases begun but not tried, 82 shall
be paid (by the party adjudged liable) to
the County j udge, and the same sum to
the Bailiff—in all cases tried by the
County Judge, or by him and a jury,
the oosts tq be paid him by the party
held liable shall be 83, and the sum of
82 to the Bailiff—said Bailiff shall, how
ever, when he summons a jury, or serves
subpoenas for witnesses, have extra fees,
as follows : for each juror, 20 cents ; anil
for each subpoena, 10 cents —all o! the
costs assessed for the Oounty Judge
shall be paid over by him to the County
Treasurer as fast as received, and an
' account given of the same at utvnh term
of the court to the Grand Jury ; if said
Cotinty J udge shall use any of said costs,
or fail to turn over the same, he shall be
liable, criminally, aa County Treasurer,
under the 4368 section of the Code;
whenever the Bailiff shall not be able to
collect his costs on account of property
or insolvency of the defendant, he shall
be allowed the same from the fines and
forfeitures hereinafter mentioned, and
costs paid over to the County Treasurer
from coses in the County Court; and in
all cases where an accusation is made by
any person, the County Judge is hereby
required to use the same proceedings to
secure the costs of the cases presented
to him as the Code requires of Justices
of the Peace, issuing criminal warrants,
not, however, exacting security. When
a party is adjudged liable, in a criminal
proceeding, to pay costs or fines, or both,
the same shall be collected as costs and
fines are collected in the Superior Courts;
whatever fines and forfeitures are col
lected by virtue of sentence or judgment
of the County Court Judge, shall be col
lected and paid over to the County
Treasurer of each county —said County
Judge shall have jurisdiction to deter
mine forfeitures, as other money de
mands, unless the amount involved ex
ceeds his jurisdiction, when the bond
shall be turned over to be forfeited in
the Superior CourtSj and all money col
lected thereon, save the expense of col
lection, shall be paid over to the County
Judge for the County Treasurer.
Sec. 14. The right to certiorari from
decision and judgment of the County
Judge, in all criminal CRses, shall exist
as in all civil cases, and the certiorari
shall be obtained in the same mode,
and disposed of in the same mode as is
provided in section 13 of the act organiz
ing the District Court in 1870, either in
term or vacation, as follows : certioi-arics
! may be liad under the sanction and or
der of the Judge of the Superior Courts
of the Cirouit in the county in which
the case is tried, in all criminal cases
upon a petition in writing (by the de
fendant) to said Judgpy complaining of
errors, and showing sufficient grounds
of error, in ten days after such trial.
This petition shall state the grounds
of complaint, and give a brief of
the material evidence, and be duly
sworn to. If, upon examination, the
Judge of the Superior Court shall
shall consider the petitioner entitled to
a writ of certiorari, it shall be his duty
i to issue sueh writ, directed to the County
! Judge aforesaid, as in civil case, requir
■ ing him to certify and send up to him a [
complete and accurate history of the
ease so tried, which shall be called his’
answer, and shall be subject to correc
tion and traverse, as is provided in Sec
tion 8990 of the Code, and 8994 of the
Code, except that said Judge of the
Superior Oourt shall try said traverse.
Said Judge of the Superior Court shall
hear and determine said certiorari and
return at anytime, after ten days’s notice
is given to tlie accuser, and then may
pass such judgment, or sentence
as, in review of the whole case, is con
sistent with justice. In all eases where
jf£e County Judge alone tries the ease,
such Superior Courts, on certiorari,
may pass sentence, or judgment, as is
consistent with law. No application for
certiorari, however, in a criminal case,
shall be entertained, unless the party ap
plying will make the affidavit set down in
section 0 of the act of 1868, as fol
lows : That no writ of certiorari shall bo
granted, unless tlie accused shall first
have filed his affidavit setting forth he
has not had a fair teial and that he lias ,
Leon wr.7ugly auit* ..P.galiy consulted,
and unless the party applying shall give
suph bond and security, or make sueh
affidavit as is permitted in the Code of
Georgia, for parties in criminal cases,
carrying up cases to tlie Supreme Court
of Georgia.
Sec. 15. The said County Judge shall
keep a docket of all criminal cases dis
posed of, as above, by him, and shall
therein state the case, its nature and
disposition, and shall, as in civil cuses,
keep carefully all the papers separate,
so as to be able at any time to make a
true history of tho oases disposed of—
and said County Judge shall, in the
trial and determination of criminal cases,
have the same authority to preserve or
der and punish contempts as is given
him in civil cases, and shall have the
same authority and control of the jail for
the punishment of offenders as the
Judges of the Superior Court ; said
County Judge shall at no time exercise
jurisdiction in criminal oases in concur
rence with u Justice of the Peace ; all
cases brought before the Justices of the
Peace of the county, if they shall appear
to be misdemeanors, shall at once be
turned over to the proper County Judge
for trial, which shall be treated by him
as if originally brought before him;
said County Judge shall have the same
authority to procure testimony and
compel the attendance of witnesses in
criminal cases as Judges of the Su
perior Court ; all the law of the State
applicable to criminal proceedings be
fore Justices of the Peace, and the
Judges of the Superior Court, not in
consistent with the provisions of this
act, and which can be applied to crim
inal proceedings before County Judges,
are hereby made part of this act.
Sec. 16. All sales to be made by tlie
Bailiff of the County Judge, either in
execution of civil or oriminal process,
shall bo at the Conrt House of the coun
ty, or at a Militia Court Ground, as the
County Judge may designate, having
due regard to the interests of parties ;
said Bailiff first giving the usual notice
given by Constables, or, whpn the Coun
ty Judge may so require, give notice by
advertisement in a newspaper having a
general circulation in the county.
Sec. 17, All law of the State of Geor
gia applicable to civil proceedings before
Justices of the Peaoe, not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Act, and
whioh oan be applied to the civil pro
ceedings before the County Judge, are
hereby made part of this Act.
Sec. 18. Whenever a trial by jury is
demanded, and the same ahull be had |
before the Coqnty J udge and a jury, on j
whioh County judge is hereby au- j
thorized’to act as a Judge of the'Supe
rior Court in criminal trials, and the
party aoonaed is found gtnlty, and error
is complained of by the jury, the Judge
of the Superior Court shall have full
power, and it is hereby made his duty,
to revise the proceedings by certiorari,
obtained as is above provided ie orimi
nal cases before the Oounty judge alone,
and if a material error is discovered by
him in the finding of the jury, he
shall grant a new hearing, before a jury
to be had in the same mode ns the first
trial. The writ of certiorari in this
class of cases shall be directed to the
County Judge, requiring him to certify
all the* pooeedings before tho jurv, so
that the Judge of the Superior Court
can ascertain if any error was committed
by tlie jury, and rectify the same.
Sec. 19. Said County Judge may, in

sary, direct his criminal warrants, orders,
and proceedings of all sorts, to the
Sheriff of thd oounty, to his own Bailin',

volved on the Jutices of the Inferior
Court-, as to county business, except in
those counties where by local laws other
provision has been made by the Legis
ture <ff this State.

Counsel, or the defendant or' his Coun
sel, of an order of the presiding Judge
authorizing the transfer of said cases,
