WILD LAND SALES
Mr Goldsmith Replies to (he Charge*
Against Him.
Editors Telegra/dt and Mesnengtr :
In your paper of the 0:b in*t appears
n loiter from Hon. Nelson. Tift, dated
the 7th tost, nhioh demands notice. I
have refrained from repaying to the sev
eral letters recently published in your
piper because I have a great aversion
to parade my name io newspapers; and
sigain, in order to show tlio truo “io
nardnej*," of the wild land tirade
against the law and myself I would he
compelled to use inforroati m in the
Comptroller General’s oflico aginet
eertsin citizm* who are making the
(rouble which I dislika to do. I bad
rather suffer minconstructioa and bo
misunderstood than take tho step.
ISut when gentlemen not only impugn
my motive* and insinuate that from
aiding and abetting wild land specula
tors to defraud tho State and people,
then the "s'leuce coaeea to be a virtue.”
and justice demands the seeming nn
propriety. I have been honestly en
deavoring to execute the wnd land law,
as construed by the Attorney General.
Other lawyers of great ability agree
with the Attorney General in Ins con
a'ruciioo of Beotion 891 of foe Code
authorizing transfers of wild land fi.
fa’s, Messrs H'nes. Units, and Tift.,
argue that the wild land act of 1874,
repeals the act of 1872 embraced in
section 801 of code. It tins be true it
IB Strang- that the legislature in 1875
j page 119 sola of 1875 ] amended the
act uf 1 87'd by riqitiricg roivrd of all
transferred fi. fa’s., and wild land ft. fa's
were not excepted. This was one year
alter the re-enacting of the wild I uni
act in 1874 ami 1 oka verv much like
vitalizing the act uf 1872 so far as
wild lands are concerned even if tepeal
cd by the act of 187 4. These gentle
men may be right; I cannot tell I have
great respect ior the legal opmuion of
Mr. Jliues. 1 was opposed to said
trausferg hut my aworn duty i* ro exe
cute tho laws as I fiud-tbern and as cou-
Atrued by the Attorney General. I am
a.!) no way responsible for ibo law.
It is truo that speculator! bought
these fi, fu’n, but I have always said
thut of all .persons connected wnb this
jnattor they would get "sickest” of
their bargain?. They will have to do
just what the state would have done
■ottrl the transf.r nut been made to-wit:
advertise and sell these I rods in the
country where located at public out cry
by the Sheriff as other Sheriff's sales,
aud all persons have the o(|> xtnnily to
buy. lu leas tliau via tnooibs this en
tire question will be reversed and tho
people will then sec who it is and f r
what purpose this lino and ary is made.
This same cry lias bc*u mired by w ild
bind rings in every instance in which
the state hat attempted to collect this
land tax since IBot nod now after so
patiently waning, tho state is requiring
them to pay their tux on wild lands as
on their property. They redouble their
efforts to have tbc sale suspended as
formerly and adroit'> ,'iceal from
view their real motive* by calling at
tention to the liausfe-r of said li. fa's
Tin* law was suspended t me and again
•luring Goycnur IJulljck’s adintnts ru
tion aud the legislature did not repeal
the law though great noise was mads
simply against tho salo of these lusds
for taxes. Tlio question <4 tr*nfer i
sinder tho law of 1872 now u-ed as a
pretext did not then exist. In l'7sa
list of wild lauds was published The
■wild land owners raised a cry against
the sale for taxes aud the law was not j
enforoed. Still the legislature of 1576 ,
and 1877 did not repeal tho law but
.prominent tueu tu thoso bodies urged
me to celled the lax. Tho legislature
and people itt the ratification n| the in w
constitution have “deoieed” like C*s“r I
of old that Ilae ' wlioj world should be
taxed,” including tho sr'aiity property of
the poxr ‘ widows aud tnplums" and |
auanned soldiers and ahull these wild
lands go free? A* long as the law re- j
mains on the statute books it should
bo enforced. If the people wish to •x
--empt front taxation wild land owners
who count their acres by tbe thousand, j
then have the legislature re-peal the 1
law aud the Utv and 1 shall bow sub
uuteively to tbe great tnjusnicl Tit -
people will before u groa while under
stand tbe motives ot the guardians of
Iks "widows aud orphans’' inter.L 1
have uol beard one single word of corn
pluiut io reference to tbe sale of wild
lauds fir taws or transler of sneb fi.
f's., from neither '’widow or orphru,”
oar indeed lr tu any one else except
ftotn men who speculate in wild lauos
snd who either wish to rvsdw tho pay
rnent of tinr legal taxes tud burdens
or do not want these land* sold at the
juiblic out-cry ad pnruhamni by rim
people but wtati to prevent such s le* in
order that they may buy and s.tlut
private sale aud make la go profit*.
For example Mr. A. G, Buts of you.
city seems very much exercised ab. ut
this matter —has written two letters
over hi? own signature and squibs over
his initials aud asked f t tbe legal
opinion of Mr. R. K. limes and i pre
sume (bat ot Mr. Nrlsou. Tift, as you
ssy‘‘his letter is at reply to s promi
nent citizen.” Now Mr. A. G. Butte,
ha* as agent been forced to pay in the
last two or three mouths tax ou uii'C
toroed wild lands iud>fault and against
which 1 bad issued eXiCutiou. lie has
also hero receatly forced to pay as agent
$118.05 taxon wild lauds which be re
turned to tha receiver of tax returns el
Bibb County for 1876. Not paying tbe
eatne the tax collector of Bibb Ciumy
recently smt up said amount to tue m
e tiding mac id trs insolvent list which
1 retained directing (be collector to
collect Which 1 presume has been dobe
and ibt •• j*' pr;*r te ibo df* of
l his bowels of compassiun b ing moved,
| as exhibited in bis wri'inga about wi
j dows and orphans.'' interest being sac
rificed. I am infoimed that Mr. A. Q.
Butts as agent controlled a f. w years
ago one hundred and forty tbousond
( 140,000 ) acres cf wild land* in
Georgia worth one dollar per acre and
opoo which neither he nor any one else
paid one cent of tax.
I now briefly notice Honorable Nel
son Ttf.’s letter which is reeking wi'b
falae and urjut intuomlioos Mr. Tift
refers to recent sales of wild lands Dy
th United State* Marshal at Savannah
and the doings of speculators as if I
hid some connection with them. While
, relying upon tho goad name which I
hove always striven to make and m,n
--i tain to repel this injustice still I desire
to assert—and the pnhlic will please
| pardoo personal reference—hat I have
I nothing to do with the United States
I Marshals or their sales. I know nothing
j of tha transaction referred to or any
j other similar one. I have never been
: engaged io anything of the kind—never
: owned a f iot of wild land directly or in
directly or any interest direc ly or in
directly in fi fi for wild land nor have
1 ever favored any speculator to de
fraud tho "state and people;’’ and if
any one thinks thero i* oey thing wrong
in this matter—that l could give aid
and comfort to spcculat its or enemies
of the people nr that I am interested
in wild land speculation os has been
Intimated then let such invoke section
112 of code which provides that "he
(Comptroller General) shall uot direc'ly
or iu-directly he interested or engaged
io the purchase aud sule of wild lands
on speculation on pain of removal by
the Governor or the General Assembly.
I respectfully protest against being
made responsible for all the rascality i
imagined or done by ‘ wild land epocu- j
hitors,” or "United >S ates M.trsha',” or I
any one else
After allu ling to said United States j
M trsbal's sales as the first s'rp la the j
speculation,” Mr Tift proceeds to say: j
‘ Tho next step in the speculation was J
to get tbe Comptroller General’s (run*- |
fer of tbc fi Ist. far talcs UJiUUSt the uu- .
rotumod wild land* accompanied by in- .
struc'ions to tbe effect that the surplus
that flu land might bring above :.x s
aud cost etc should go to the orig mil
owner of the land if he could be tound
and to the public treasury in case no
owuer appeared." This perfected the
scheme. Tney were tho owners under mo
bogus deeds from the United Stales
Marsihal they being oonstituti >ncd rim
judges and they would pay all stnplus
to themselves, lint riic Coiupirol'er G 0..-
oral souio time uf’er the first ci.cular
sent these ipcculuto's a siipph mcutuiy
circular in which after warning them !
that many false and traudulcnt owners
will perhaps try t> impose on you tu or
der to get tho surplus of sale* iver and
above tue taxes etc 1.0 says: 1 think it
would bo best to lake a good and legal
bond from all persons to whom you pay
sooti ui ntcys conditioned to repay the
panic witliiu twolve months if nroper au
riiurittes decide that another i* the truo
owner.' ” This statement i entirely un
j true and 1 fear iutcntionally so. N iti—
-1 riruotion* or circulsts were over sent,
io (hone speculators but Iho very op
posite was douc. Tbc circular to wliien
reference is made iva* scut to the sher
iff* for tbcir guidance and only c >n
tainod tbo law (“co code aection 892
and section 7 act of 1874 page 106) aud
were intended to and no doubt will
protect tho owner* against spec dolors
gobbling up tbo excess of money over
tax and Cost.
1 give yott tlwso etrculors in full
that you may seo wlist efforts Sir. Tift,
