THE JESUP SENTINEL T. I\ L.ITTLKFIKLI), Editor and Proprietor. (ffia i.i tut Jtsup House, fronting on Uiei ry Street, two doom from Ilrotul St. WEDKBMDAV, JAM AKl' 23. IHl*. 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.
