GOV. GORDON'S MESSAGE. a.N attempt to mix the r^ces AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Tho State’s Annual Appropriation of SB,OOO Intended to bo Used Exclu sively for the Benefit of tho Negroes —Sale of the Spartanburg and Ashe ville Railroad—Other State Topics. State op Geokgia, Executive Dept., i -Atlanta, til., July 7, 1887.| IY> the Senate and Ilou-ie of Rcpresetd :tiv* s: Through the medium of a special message I wish to invito your attention to several matters of public importance. THE ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. In transmitting the reports made bv the board of visitors appointed to attend the examinations of the University of Georgia and of the Atlanta University your attend->u is respectfully ashed to the following extract from the report in ref ence to the Atlanta University: "We feci it to be our duty to call the attention of your Excellency to a fact in connection with the Atlanta University which was a surprise to us, and whicli we feel assured is not in accord either with the policy and provisions of the Legislature of the State or with the theory of our institutions. '‘We llnd in the Atlanta Uni versify a number of white students of various ages and both sexes, most of them having more or less connection with the members of the faculty or other ofiioers, ami one. at least, en tirely unconnected with the officials. We men tion these relations of the white students, uot with the intention of suggesting that there is any real difference between al lowing the attendance of children of the faculty and children of those other thau the faculty, but in order that all the facts may lie known We have ascertained by conference with the members of the faculty of this Institution that it is their avowed intention to receive all white children who apply for admission into the school, aud we interpret this, in connection with certain publications of theirs, as a desire to break down the existing harriers against the co education of the two races. We desire to say that we regard this practice as uot only intrins ically wrong, but. as being, in this case, an improper use of the money appro- i (rioted by the State to this institution, n every enactment which the legislature lias made upon this subject since and including tin year IBf4, as well as in the constitutional delega tion of authority to make it. the appropriation has been made for the benefit of the colored race alone. Indi-od, the act of 1874, in terms de votes the siuir of SB,OOO per annum solely to that people, and the act isinthe nature of a contract by which they receive the sum in lieu of other moneys. It occurs to us that the admission of white children to a participation in the benefits of this appropriation, aside from the violation of tho general policy of the State, is, in this case, a misuse of public moneys.” From this extract from the hoard’s report it appears not only that white children are re ceived as pupils at the Atlanta University, but that the authorities of that institution avow their determination to matriculate all white ahildreu who may try for admission. The sum of SB,OOO, annually atipropriated under the act of March 8, 1874, to the Atlanta University, is one-half of the interest on $243,- 000, which was the sum realised by the State from the Agricultural Lund Scrip, under the act of Congress of July 2, 1862. and the amending act of April 14, 1804, "donating public lands to the several States and Territories, which may provide colleges for the bene fit of agriculture aud the mechanic ails.” This amount was at first an item in the general appropriation bill, but afterward the act of March 3, 1874, was passed annually appropriating such sum to tho Atlanta Univer sity. This siuu of SB,OOO thus appropriated is no part of the interest derived from what is known as the agricultural laud scrip. The whole of that, fund was turned over to the State Univer sity to be used in strict accordance with the act of Congress; but in the spirit of perfect fairness and of liberality to its colored population, the State appropriates from the State treasury the sum of *B,OOO annually for the education of the colored people. There is an obligation upon the part of the State to give to its colored population this sum of money each year; but if no such legal obli gation existed, the State. guided by an enlight ened public policy, would continue such ap propriation to cobired institutions of learning. But the constitution of the State, in providing for the establishment of a system or common schools, expressly provides that they shall bo free to all children of the State, but that sepa rate schools shall be pri aided ft >r the white and colored races. The General Assembly of the State, iu nil its legislation upon the subject of education, lias beeucareful to observe this pro vision of the constitution. In fact, the people of Georgia, in every form in which public opinion can be expressed, have declared their unalter able opposition to the co-education of the raoos, and it must be considered as a pari of the set tled policy of the State in reference to the colored race. The co-education of the races is opposed in the interest of the col ored as well as of the white race. It tends to the deplorable result of amalgamation so de structive to both races. All races which have achieved anything in this world liave been ho mogeneous. lam in favor of the highest eleva tion of the colored people of this State, of which they are capable, but my first advice to them for the elevation of their race, would l>e to keep it separate and distinct. Georgia’s policy upon this question is plainly expressed iu her laws and constitution, and based upon the con viction that the interest of both races demands that the children of the tw> should be educated apart; and she caimot abandon that policy or permit anyone to ignore it upon any false prin ciples of sociology or political economy. Eight thousand dollars must continue to be devoted to the education of the colored race, hut it is for the General Assembly to determine how that sum shall be appropriated. The c lored race in Georgia is making most commendable progress iu education, and the State government will ren der every aid in its power to its colored citizens. The solo question to he met is this: “How can this annual appropriation of SB,(MM be used sous to secure to the colored race the largest bene fits!'” It has been suggested more than once by the State's able Commissioner of Public Schools that this SB,OOO should lie expended an nually in maintaining a normal school for the education of colored teachers; or the Legisla ture might appropriate this sum if deemed ad visable to someone of the well established col ored institutions taught exclusively by colored teachers, and presided over by colored Presi dent and officers. THE BOARD OK VIBITORS. In this connection I ask the attention of the Legislature to tho law under which asiieehil Board of Visitors Is appointed for the State University and for the Atlanta University, as found iu ihe 1.2015 t section of the Code and in the third section of the act of March 8, 1K74. It will be observed that the duty of the board is “to attend tho University examinations preced ing the annual commencements.” ana by a committee to “report to the Governor, with the least possible delay, the character of said ex amination.” Tins Is all they are authorized to do. They have no authority to inquire into tho police of these institutions, or their sanitary ar rangements, or their financial condition, or their curriculum of study, or anything elso connected with them. They must, under the statute, simply attend the examinations nnd report their character. The board, whose report accompanies this rne-ss igo, have performed their duty efficiently, but they had to go beyond their duty to note the use of an ob noxious textbook in the State University and the presence of while -indents at, the Atlanta University. Their reports, when confined to the subject specified in the statute, however able they uuy I*, are pra -tic.tily worthless, and yet the State pays for these reports more than half as much ns is paid by the .State for the eduea• Mon ui Dahluiiega. or Mllledgevillo, or Thomas ville, of a large ntunlier of students for a full scholastic year. I recommend that the law i-e repealed, or that it lie amended so as groul ly to enlarge tire powers of the hoard, and enable it to Inquire into and report up m everything con nected with tin*m which would hoof interest to the representatives of the people. Iu m.v opin ion such a visitation annually is imperatively needed, and would result in great benefit to tho institutions. •ALE OF THE SPARTANBURO AND ASHVILLK RAIL ROAD BONDS. Asa creditor of the Citizen’s Bank, which failed several years ago, the State became the owner of fifty-three bonds (SI,OOO each) of the Asheville and Spartanburg railroad These bonds were convertible into thestockof the road, but were not secured by any mortgage or other lien on the road. Individuals in this Sia’c and in South Carolina wore (lie ladders also of a still larger amount of thesu bond*. After tho State m-qulred these Imnds. the Richmond nnd Danville Railroad Company Isteamo the owner of a majority of the entire amount of the out standing bunds of the road, and having thus lie conn* possessed of a controlling interest in tin' stock, caused SBOO,OOO of preferred bonds to l>c Gsued ti* pay for the completion of the road. The issue of these preferred bond* caused the 'Kinds held by the (state and other jxirties to greally depreciate In value, and the road has •xsen to managed for two Yearn or more by the Richmond anil Danville Railroad Company that It failed to pay tho Intereat mi the preferred bonds, whicli wore secured by a first mortgage, in this condition of things, the Attorney Gen eral, ns the representative of the State, attended i lectin:; of the stock h. filers at Spartanburg In oe-enW lad. At his instance a committee wa appointed, of which I was made chairman. I eoiu-r with the parties whooe Internet* were "n\ g. nlatie to the minority stockholder-ami ee if a sale of .-e.,t of the minority vvuid uv. ue uwvWJ, v.' worn adjustment wade 1 f the differences between the parties. The proposed conference was held in April last the Attorney General being also present, at my request. Preliminary negotiations were then had. which resulted in a proposition, in May last, by the Richmond and 'Vest Point Terminal Company which had suc ceeded the Richmond and Danville Company in the control of the road) to pay the minority 45 per cent, in cash for their bonds <r •’.O per cent, in the bonds of tie Terminal Company. All the minority bond-holders re garded the proposed settlement at 45 per eent. cash with decided favor, and promptly ac cepted it. After conferring with the Attorney- General and the Treasurer, I decided to accept It also, it being manifestly to the Interest of the State to make the settlement. 1 was compelled to act promptly or lose the opportunity to make this advantageous disposition of bonds which had become comparatively value less. Asa strict construction of the law relating to the sale of public property (sc-* Code, section 04 to 68 inclusive) requires a public sale, uller due advertisement, and as this was wholly impracti cable in this instance, 1 request that a resolution be passed approving and continuing my action in this matter. I hope that this may be prompt ly done, as the money for the bonds $23,800) has been received and placed in the Treasury of the State. It should have been stated that the $53,000 of bonds so held by the State, were purchased at a stile of assets of the Citizens' Bank, several years ago, by direction of the then Governor, at the sum of $25,000, and the debt due by the bank to the State credited with that amount. THE PETEK TKEZEVANT CLAIM. By act of Congress, approved March 3, 1883, the Secretary of the Treasury of the United Mr ate was “authorized and empowered to pay to the State of Georgia, or its lawfully author ized agent, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated," the sum of $B5. 555. The First Comptroller of the Treasury (Judge Lawrence) declined to pay this sum, but 'in lend it to be entered as a credit on the ac count in the Treasury against Georgia for her quota of the direct land tax of 1862. Since the war large sums of money have been paid to Georgia from the Treasury of the United States, and in one instance, after a ruling by the Comptroller (lion. A. G. Porter), that Georgia was not liable for that direct tax. Two bills have been introduced in the House of Representatives to compel the pay ment of this sum of $35,555 to Georgia, notwith standing the decision or ruling of any officer of the government, and have been reported upon favorably by judiciary committees of that body, but it is not ut all probable that any special bill can be passed without some very object ionable amendment. The only other remedy which the State has is suit in tho Court of Claims, and I recommend that the Governor lie authorized to bring such suit, and for that purpose to employ special council, as the Attorney General is under no legal obligation to serve the State outside of its limits. 'I tie right to sue will be barred on March 3,183 ft. JAILS. The health of the prisoners in the different convict camps has been for sfrue time past remarkably good; but these convicts are often received into the penitentiary in feeble physical condition, resulting from their con finement, pending their trials, in our county jails. These jails in some of *.*ur counties are without sufficient air or light, or comforts of any kind, and are represented as unfit places in which to coniine prisoners. When it is remem bered that a vast majority of those who are comined in our jails, in fact, all of them until conviction, are in contem plation of law innocent, it would seem to be a commanding obligation of justice and humanity that these jails should be not only habitable, but comfortable places of confinement. It is not unusual for prisoners to be kept in jail for one or two years awaiting trial, tho result of applications for new trial, and of appeals to the Supreme Court, and then to be discharged at last when acquitted of the offense of which they are charged. They are released from jail on ac quittal. or sent to the penitentiary, if convicted, with shattered or enfeebled constitutions I recommend tkai somo plan tie adopted to remedy this evil. The Legislature might pro vide for oil inspection of the jails and other prisons of tnis State, and prescribe certain con ditions as to light, ventilatiou, drainage, area, etc., etc., which must lie complied with in the construction of every jail in Georgia before it can be accepted and used as a place for the con finement of prisoners. SIX PES CENT. COUPONS. I desire to call the attentiou of the General Assembly to the claim made by those who are. or have been, holders of the 6 percent, bonds of the State, maturing in August, 1886, and in August, 1381, and being a part of tho issue of $1,000,000 of bonds under the net of February 211, 1856. These bonds stipulate upon tneir face that they shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per an num, payable semi-annually until maturity. But upon the llth and 15th series of said bonus, maturing oa August 1, there is no coupon at tached to represent the last six months interest duo therein. The Treasurer has no authority to pay this interest unless specially author ized by the General Assembly, and tile holders of these series of bonds, as these bonds matured, have received payment of the principal, and surrendered the bonds under protest. The General Assembly Las heretofore, by resolution approved Sept. 0, 1381. authorized the Treas urer to pay the last six months interest upon certain bonds of this class, which had matured and been surrendered upon the payment of tho principal alone. The amount of interest due is comparatively small, but it is a just debt, and I recommend that the Treasurer tie authorized to pay it. This recommendation is made not upon tlie ground that its non-payment will injure the credit of Georgia, but upon the higher and bet ter ground that the State should pay every hon est debt which she owes. THE STATE ROAD. The leuse of the Western and Atlantic rail road will not expire before the meeting of the next Legislature, in November, 1888. It will expire, however, so soon thereafter that a very short time will be allowed for discussing plans for future disposition of this most important property of tho State; or for advertising for propositions, or for selecting proper lessees, should the Legislature decide upon another lease. It seems to me. therefore, in every point of view, essential that tile General Assembly, at its present sitting, give to this grave matter the fullest and most earnest consideration. A PARDON COMMISSION. There id no duty devolving upon the Execir tive which is more important, more onerous, and often times more embarrassing, than his exercise of the power to grant pardons, re prieves and commutations of the sentences of convicts, wuich is conferred upon him by the constitution. The labor which it involves to a conscientious official is very great, while the solicitude which it causes to an executive of or dinary sensibilities is often most painful. Ju dex!, the lab<r is so great that the Executive cannot satisfactorily perform it without neglecting other duties tielonging to his office. A short while after the commencement of iny term of office, there wvn> l>y actual count on tile In the Executive Department more than 000 applications for pardons, reprieves or commuta tions. The large majority of these were pre sented to my predecessors. Some of the ap plicants had served their terms and been dis charged, some bad died, a few had escaped; but after heductiug all these, several hundred cases remained requiring the action of the Executive, and to (hose others have been con stantly added. The pardoning power is not a prerogative of the Executive i* be used carelessly or arbitrarily, but a dis cretion to in* exercised calmly, cautiously, conscientiously an<i courageously. Again, it is a power which should be exercised as Boon iis it is invoked. If a convict petitions for pardon and Is entitled to it. lie should have it with all practicable expedition. Every day of detention in confinement is a grievous wrong to him. De lay in considering a petition for pardon is as uu justifiable, if It con tie avoided, as delay in de ciding the issue presented uikju a writ or habeas corpus. It is ltwlf a writ of liberty, and should have a speedy hearing. Again, tin* pardoning power cannot be delegated. It must be ex. r eiewdby the Executive nliu>clf under the respon sibility of his oath of office - upon bis con viction of win* is right, after examiii itlon and Investigation wliic'i be himself has made. The K*eciitive, with the aid of efficient secretaries, might possibly dispose of all the applications for clemency illed fu hi* office. Bat, u> th* law stands he cutmol avail himsfff even of this aid, or of any old. so a* to relieve himself from the necessity of investigation and decidon in every case, and from the sense of personal responsibility in all eases. it is impossible for tin* Executive to attend properly t• * bis many other duties, and dispose of all applioati* ns for executive clemency, with the dispatch which the applicants have a right to demand, and at the same time witlr the caution which the interests of the public re outre. If these are the facts to-da), what may they be u few years hence when this great Com inonwealtb of (reorgia bus grown into an em pire in the extent and multiplicity of its public business? I have given t his subject much con sideration. and lam convinced that it would lie wise legislation to organic" a Commission of Dardens now, by which I and my successors In office might be relieved of a large sham f the labor and responsibility which attach to the pardoning power. A change of the con stitution may l>e necessary, but It occurs to me that such a commission might be established without a change of the fundamental law, if I lie act establishing it shall place the ultima?** decision of application for pardon, reprieve or commutation of sen tence upon the Governor; and tliat it could be so organized as to add very little to the expense of the civil establishment. But, without enter ing Into the detail* of luiy plan. I most earnestly Itivoke the attention of the General As.-* inbly to the subject as worthy of their immediate and careful couaidcruUou. J. U. U<MUM>Jf a THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 8, 1887. DE BAUSSET'S BALLOON. Air-Ship With Which He Hopes to Navigate to the Pole. FY orn the Chicago Mail. “My great air-ship, 'l)e Arctic Explorer,’ vill start to travel to do Nort’ Pole naix June, poseeteef,” said Dr. Deßausset to a reporter who called to see him about his grand scheme of aerostration. “He vill go 120 miles de hour in altitude five miles above dc airt’, or dc leemcet of respirable air. Look at him,” and the in ventor pointed to a big chart on the wall, where n long cylinder with conical ends was painted in bright red. Along the side was a faithful representation of a woodshed roof gaudily painted blue. “Dat ees do veeng of the aero-plane. Dat vill k>vp do ship m one plane, also prevent him to fail to dc ground. Along de uige of de veeng is a gutter to catch dc rain and prevent him to fail on de passengers. Below ees suspended de cai', vieli vill contain 200 voyageurs, fret and mail mattaire. As to de dimansiongs of de air ship, he is (554 feed in lungee, 144 feed in high and limit of lami nated steel 1-44 of an eench teeck. Tree force of do air vitin dees cylinder is exhowst and do machine rise grandly into ze atmos phere. To propel do ship in de car arc air pumps of immangse power, driven by elec tric dynamos. Dose dynamos are supplied by electricity from Storage batteries, which I nave invent. Eetees not like de storage batteries vich are now in use. Ah, no. >So soon as one is emptied I take anocler and leave de first to recuperate. lie recover hoes own electricity.” "Why don’t you patent that?" “Von ting at a time. Veil de air-ship is complete dain it vill lie time to get out a patent for dat.” Tho doctor went on to explain, his little dumpy form swelling with enthusiasm and his black eyes Hashing, how the pump would suck in the air from in front of tho ship and expel it from the rear, thus realiz ing tho “Kinie of tiio Ancient Mariner,” where to the question of what mukes the ship go on so fast, tho answer is returned: “The air is cut away in trout mid driven on behind.” “But. will a cylinder of steel as thick as a common pin, as long us the exposition building, and as high as tho Pullman stand the pressure of fifteen pounds to the square inchasked the reporter. “Ah! dat ees de groji’ queshong,” replied the doctor, wagging his grey, pointed beard and glaring over his eye-glasses while he reached for a fresh cigarette. “Unless it was braced strongly it could not hold up its own weight.” “Of course not,” declared M. Deßausset; “but it vill be braced vit r-rings and arma ture-; and stays.” “Of what sort?” “Oho! Dat ees nawn of your beesness,” tartly rejoined the inventor. “But,” he continued, “von de air is ex houst one-fourth vill bo left to relieve tho pressure of de air, vich at dees level is only twelve pounds to de square eench. Dat would leave nine pounds to be sustained on every square eenoh.” While the doctor was talking the reporter did a little figuring, which showed that on every square yam of steel left unbraced thoro would be an air pressure of U,(if4 pounds, or nearly six tons. Mr. Deßausset claims, however, that Fairbnirn’s formula proves that the cylinder can stand the strain. This formula reads: Let 1, equal the length, D the diameter and T the thickness of tho tube and P the collapsing pressure: then P equals ‘J,*>72,000 into T over L D. This set tles the question conclusively. The cylinder is to be divided into air tight compartments, so that if tho navigator wants to point the ship’s nose upward to ascend on an incline plane, the air is pumped out of a forward compartment. If ho wishes to descend on an incline plane all he has to do is to puil tjie cork out of the com partment and gracefully float earthward. The doctor expects to have the machine ready long before next June, and promised the reporter a free ride, if the “head editor” was willing and could spare him. The programme announces in its own straightforward style: “Tho starting point will do from New York city, and the route will Vie as follows: From New York to Philadelphia, Washington, Toledo, Chicago, Omaha, San Francisco, Yeddo, Canton, Pekin, Constantinople, Turkey; Rome, Italy; Paris, France; Berlin, Germany; Copenhagen, Denmark: Stockholm, Swe den, and St. Petersburg, Russia. From this last city directly via Greenland to the Arctic regions. The time table allows one hour’s stop at each station. The prospectus is adorned with a beauti ful cut of this immense cylinder, floating in the air directly over Black Jack’s buniboat, while Chicago lies stretched out below. Goose Island is plainly discernible and away over in DuPage county, two vigor ously erupting volcanoes are pegging away for dear fife. The foothills of a wild and mountainous country diversify the land scape about Wicker Park, rising to grander heights in Jefferson, while loft}’ peaks crowned with everlasting snows rear aloft their hoary heads where Commissioner Klehm now hoes his corn. * Dr. De Bausset claims entire originality for his scheme on which he has been at work for the last twenty years, but a man, shortly after the air-pump was invented, tried the same thing with a globe of thin copper with the result of a collapse. Tlie doctor was asked if he had mode any ex periments, but he “hemmed” au<l “hawed” and finally admitted that he had made two. One was with a thin glass globe which shivered into bits the moment the air was exhausted, and the other was with the globe of an incandescent electric lamp. “Hoc how fight it is,” exclaimed the doc tor, and trim! to make it stand on end. Rut the little pear-snaped bulb would topple over just as clumsily as if it had been “chuck” full of air. The high-sounding appellation of the com pany of which M. De Jiausset is President, and which is to imild the air-ship, is the Transcontinental Aerial Navigation Com pony, and was ineorimrated with a capital stock of $150,000, at *lOO a share. An effort '.van made to find out how many shares had been taken, but M. Deßausset was very shv about saving anything on that score, and declared that lie was talking sci ence just then. If his visitor had come to talk business that would lie “deefferong.” He said, however, that if a person gave $lOO or $lO,OOO, he would only get one scat ill the air ship. From wlvit lie said it was learned that, neither of the Fnrwells, Marshall Field. “Old Hutch,” Phil Armour or any other of the prominent scientists of Chicago had Laid their little all at his feet to aid in the grand cause of conquering for man tlie un trodden empire of the air. On the back page of one of the pamphlets which Dr. Do lkiuvft gets out, he has given to mankind gems of thought, of which tho following are the brightest: “Galileo found that tho earth rotates and translates.” “The word ‘impossible’ has boon used by eminent authority iu regard to many inven tions, each of which now is a pronounced success.'V “Overcoming the attraction by the vacuum Instead of gas I drive away all the difficulties experienced to travel In the air, pa-lug through toe sleet and snow regions where the low temperature, by contracting the gas, eX|*Mu aeronauts to to precipitated hastily to the ground.” “Buchu-Paiba.” Quick, complete euro, ull annoying kil ney, blluldcr and urinary diseases. |l.
