TREASURE ANGIER’S REPORT.
The annual report of the Treasurer
of Georgia, Dr. Angier, for the year
ending Dec, 31, 1869, has just been
received at the Constitution office,
whieh paper makes the following con
densed report:
The receipts from August 11, 18G8, to
Dec, 31, 1869. have been $2,731;713.9 »; the
payments, $2 260,252,15,1eaving cash on
hand $471,461,78.
The total public debt is $6,014,500. The
t ixable property of the State, exclusive of
Railroads, Banking, Express and Insur
ance Companies, is $200,00 ',OOO. The
estimated income of the State for 1870, is
$L,345,000; the usual expenses, not count
ing interest on the public debt,- $500,000,
leaving $845 000, to pay interest and re"
duce the debt.
The Slate Road paid $20,000 in August,
1868; $25,000 per month to October, 1860,
nothing tor October, November and Decenm
ber.
The amount of $27,341,G9 had been drawn
by warrant by Governor Bullock, which
the Treasurer has refused to pay pelieving
them illegal. Os this $12,780.78 was for
advertising proclamations; $875, for Sun
Supreme Court reports ; $340 for two extra
employees in the Penitentiary; $650 toll.
P. Farrow for services in the case Georgia

rison for 1.552 copies or rules of the Su
preme Court; $250 each to L. J. Gartrell and
L J. Hopkins for legal services ; $4,000 o
W. R. 1). Moss for reward in arresting fu
gitives from Justice.
We give the following concluding extract
from the report:
During the past year my attention has
frequently been called to the Sterling Bonds
of the State of Georgia. I made thorough
examination of all the BomLbooks in my
possession, but could find no record of any
such bonds. I have very recently learned
by a letter, in response to my enquiries/
received from the President of the National
Bank of the Republic, New York, dated
Dec, 27th,1869, tlnu there are (as he states)
“thirty of these bonds, £SOO each, payable
interest at five per cent, and principal
when due in London. These bonds were
due in Sept, 1868, and yet, so far as I am
informed, remain unpaid. I called the at
tention of Govenor Bullock to this fact when
I last saw him in Oct, 1868.” I have re
cently learned by letter from United States
Corporation and Arrears Committee of Lor
don, besides the paincpal as stated above,
there is due on said bonds £3,000 interest,
making in all £IB,OOO. There are strong
reasons why our foreign credit should re
main good, and I would recommend an ap a
propriation and early payment of both prin
cipal and interest.
But for the sale of two hundred and pixo
ty-dve thousand five hundred dollars ($265,-
500) of the seven percent. Mortgage Bonds
Western and Atlantic Railroad, specially
set apart to fund all State bonds falling due
before 1871, and interest thereon prior to
March 12th, 1866, there would be no neces
sity of a call for the fur her issue ; and I
should not now advise this course were
there funds in the Treasury to meet these
matured bonds independent of expenses
that can not be deferred. Under these cir"
cumstances I would recommend that the
State issue a third series of seven per cent.
Western & Atlantic Railroad Mortgage
Bonds of the denomination of SSOO each to
the amount of $265,000, to be used only in
funding bonds due prior to 1871, and 1
would further recommend that the Act ot
March 12, 1866, so far as it requires all ins
terest prior to that date to be found into
new bonds, be repealed. This would be
treating all Federal currency bond-holders
alike, and in conformity with the statutes.
The unpaid Convention Certificates (not
exceeding ten thousand dollars) is a cause
of much complaint, and I would respectful
ly advise an early appropriation to cover
this amount.
I beg to be allowed to urge upon the
General Assembly the necessity of being
very specific in their appropriations, doing
away with all laws that have a doubtful or
uncertain construction, that there may be
no possibility of a conflict of opinion be
tween the different Departments’
Tho Debt Statement shows only $154,
250 State Bonds falling due next year, and
the entire bonded indebtedness less than
seven millions dollars. The rapid increase
in the price and value of real estate, and
the productions of the soil yielding a fine
profit to husbandmen, both combined to
cause a general increase in substantial
wealth and taxable property ; so it is thought
without any increase of the rate oj taxation,
with an economical administration, and a
judicious use of tho funds of the State Road,
the State’s indebtedness can be promptly
meet without further resort to funding.
The history of several of our sister States
since the war, in the rapid increase of their
bonds, should be a warning to Georgia ;
Honesty and Patriotism should stay the
hand of Avarice, and “Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation” be stamped on every act.
Most respectfully submitted.
N. L. Angier,
Treasurer of Georgia.

My friends we advise all to go and give Andy a fair trial, and we know
that you will away well pleased. We have been told that in the last six
months that Air. Webb’s trade has doubled every month; and the reason
why, this house is the only house in Thomastrn that is willing to divide
profits with the people. Ladies and gentlemen we know that if you will
give John N. Webb your trade as a great many of our friends have done in
1860, that you will come out like they did, with fifty dollars saved and the
same , amount of goods bought at Webb’s as was bought at other places
before. This is true, for we have been told by the most reliable men in Up
son County that January, 1869, they set in to deal with Webb & Johnson
one year, and that they kept a close account of what they bought 1868 and
1869, and in 1869 with Webb & Johnson they saved clear cash fifty
dollars. So I think Ladies and Gentlemen that this is quite an item.
Allow me my friends and customers to thank you for your very liberal
patronage through 1868 and 1869. I wish you a happy new year and
continuance of yous liberal patronage. Mr. W. A. Johnson with myself
promise our best efforts and services. JOHN N. WEBB,
