An I in p dm of fact, •*» considerable did these nn*
nil d • xc* *s,'s of receipts nt once buconte, und so
rapid, consequently was tint procss of nccumuln*
tion which immediately c unmcticcd, that noiwith-

sov. nl ('i.iiniii's, st II it lequircil not more limn the
space if ten year* to fill the Tntasury with a larger
sni plus thull it hud ever before possessed at any
single, time. We find accordingly, that ut the cl
of tho year 11123, there vvn* on hand nn idle, unin
vested Innid of mere thin half a million, ($-*il3,-
101 77) of c.i-h funds. Besides which, there was
also in umouiil of $355,53!) 00 in liquidated dolus
duo M tho Statu, and a considerable though anas-
certaiucd amount of unliquidated demands Of
this entire mu* of due*, liquid itn! nnd uul qui*
dated, a mrge portion was undoubtedly worthless:—
lh.it nnothcr largo portion, however, win good and
colli'utnblc is proved by ilia fact that, out of tliqi.
whole, a ballut.ee of not more than $181,221 111
icm lined outstanding on the 5ih of Novemlier,
1838, of wliir.li balance as mochas' $34,940 55 was
pronounced to bo at that duto,_good liy u Commit*
toe'of Investigatiiui, acting muter the mill unity of
tho Lgislathi'o of the preceding year.
. We hnvn thus ccrtnin dntn on which to conclude,
that' at tho end of lids year 1828, tho Stn'o wiw
possessed of outstanding dues that went good and
colleetabluto tlio amount at the lowest cnlcu'inion,
of $209,317 35
The cash suiplus then on hand,was 513,ltll 77
Making tlio entire surplus of cash
hud good debts thon existing to
have been $722,419 12
Whilst this-'largo surplus thus existed in tlio
Treasury nt tho rinse of 1828—thero were, more
over at the same time, strong grounds for calculat
ing, that it was destined to great nnd progressive
increase For llicro was nothing to prevent the
two resources of tuxntion and Bunk Stuck* from
producing their ordinary income, nnd tlio vast quan
tity of the public dnmnin then recently di-cncuin-
hero-4 nnd soon to lie disencumbered of tlio Indi-in
claim, rendered it prolmhln that the Inqd fund would
ho uiiusiinlly productive for a number of ensoiuq
years. Tliesuciicurmtuticcs strongly ensured tlio
continued How of yearly excesses of receipts into
tho Treasury, nnd authorized tlie expectation that
the surplus already grout, would suon be much
greater.
In tliis exuberance, of tin* finances, we behold
oiiveiied ilia grand mid potent cause to which
Georgia owes the system of ilie Central Bank. Tlie
heuvy surplus, Imtll present mid prospective, which
stilted tlie Lcgi-la'iire of 1328 in the face, was the
indiili.lnlih-purotiLof that Institution. Itgnvcii-n,
during the session of that yn.it, to the interestin')
question, whnl should lie done with this a heady
large mid still augmenting hoard of idle moneyed
wealth in the Treasury. Tlmt it nn lit not to lie
suffered to lie there uttoily unemployed, and itnnse*
fill, wus mnnife-t enough. Thao what best disposi
tion could be made of it, with a vinw at once to the
secure ptenervation of the fund itsdi', and to the
i-unileriug of it nsmircu of revenue to die State,and
of general pecuniary utility to tlie people, wo* the
unpmtani problem, which, though it hud lie.cn long
previously nettled by Legislative precedent nnd
prnniire, w«s 'now revived und thrown open to fresh
oonlreveisy and u nnw d'irrniinution. The result
was, a departure limn tin* tried system of investing
in'Bunk Sl ick*, which hud obtained so long and
w rked so successfully, both for the fiscal nnd com*
'merciiil intereslsuf the Stste, und the adoption of
tint scheme of die existing Central Bunk.
Touching this Institution, the first remark which
presents itself is, that the main, and indeed it would
he more ucciir.it ! to siy, that the sole object of its
crendoii, w as to seive as an agency for distributing
turning tlie people, under prescribed restrict ions,
loans of the public money at inieio*t.
It is believed tint the w hole argument in vindica
tion 'of the policy.in wldcli it originated, may l»o
fairlynotidonsnd in tlm following prnposidon:—l’lint
tlm largo surplus which tlio State possessed at tho’
period of it-e*tubli*litncni, and tlio litturu large sur*
plussc* which it was limn foicsoen,mustsoou come
to her possession could not, with rufeicnce to tlio
three greatoqjecis of fiscal gain, general public uti
lity,' mi I the safety nnd integrity of the fund itself,
receive a I Alter disposition, tliun.hy being made the
sohj -ct of loans, in tho. manner nnd through die
agency prescribed by tlio laws, which creute und
regulate die Central Bank.
In order to a just opinion upon tho merit* of this
proposition, it is necessary, in tho first pluru, to
take a succinct review of ill-iso operations of the
Bank from which » fiscal gain to the Slate was con
templated, and to see to what extent, the result lias
been realized.
