Report of the Bond Com
inittee.
Report of the Legislative Com
mittee appointed to investigate the
bonds of the State was read in both
the Senate aud the House on Satur
day, and was received with ap
plause by oiio, and with profound
attention'by both Houses.
From the report of this commit
tee, published in ihe Atlanta Sun
of Sundaj’-, we extract the following
touching the Brunswick and Al
bany and the Bainbridge, Cuthbert
and Columbns .roads:
BRUNSWICK ANJ) ALBANY RAILROAD.
For this road the State indorsed
bonds to the amount of $3, 300,000
at one time, and at another to be
exchanged for the road’s second
mortgage bonds $l,B 0 0,0 00.
The transactions in the hands, of this
road are the mos* complicated and
more suspicious than those of any
others. They involve moro fraud
and greater speculations. The plan
for pillage ami plunder was stupen
dous in its proportions, and hence
the greater effort to conceal their
infamous machinations.
By the terms of the first act
“twenty consecutive miles” must
have been built, before the bonds,
amounting to $15,000 per mile,
could be indorsed. Another amen
ding act authorizing the Governor
to take up Lho Company’s second
mortgage bonds, amounting to $3,-
350,000, and j>§y the Company for
the same in bonds of the Stato at
par, amounting to $1,880,000--that
bonds of the State at SB,OOO were
to bo issued to replace the second
mortgage bonds of the Company
at SIO,OOO per mile; and this- wise,
provision of the credit es the State
was to be entrusted specially to the
Governor, who was empowered, up
on sixty days’ failure ot payment of
the semi-annual interest on these
mortgage bonds, to take possession
of the road and all its effects, and
sell them, liut by reason of his
flight the sale was never made.
That it would liavo been made is
almost certain.
BAINBKIDGK, CUTHBERT A COLUMBUS
RAILROAD
State aid was also given this road.
The act requires twenty miles to be
completed before bonds could be in
dorsed, whereas not a mile has ever
yet been built. Yet Bullock indors
ed 240 of the bonds, and the holel
• ers of these bonds were aware of
the conditions ne'eessary to the val
idity of the bondr—that the indorse
ment of Bullock was not binding
on the State ; and the Committee in
their opinion declare that such in
dorsement is null and void.
The bonifs were all issued and in-’
dorsement before any of the. road
was completed, in which particular,
they violated the provisions of the
act every time. A portion of the
directors and stock-holders, were
contractors, and had actual- knowl
edge of the progress of the road ;
and one of these was Clews. About
$1 ,680,000 of the bonds were sign
ed by Charles L. Frost, after he
had ceased to be President of the
road. Os the indorsed bonds, 219
were not reported to the Committee :
307 were reported as belonging to
two different persons ; 41 to three
different? parties, from which facts
the Committee infer, that certain of
these bonds were issued and indors
ed in duplicate and some in tripli
cate.
Os the $3,300,000 under the first
acj, SBOO,OOO were without authori
ty of law. Only 145 miles of the
road were completed when this issue
was made; wheroas, the completion
of so much would authorize the is
mance of only $2,175,000, leaving
$1,125,000 issued without a sem
blance of authority. Debts to the
amount of more than $3,000,000 are.
outstanding against the company.
The committee, after a careful
consideration of the. ordinance, are
of opinion that the State is not le
gally or morally bound discharge
this assumed liability. In support
of this opinion, the committee pro
duce an elaborate and exhaustive ar
gument.

Gen. Sheridan, in a- communica
fciori to the War Department, says ;
“We can never stop wild Indians
from murdering and stealing until
we punish them. If a white man
in this country commits murder wfe
hang him; if he steals we put him
in the peuitentiary. If an Indian
commits these crimes \ve give him
better fare and more blankets. I
think I may with reason say that
under this policy the civilization of
the wild red man will progress

After the nomination of Gov.

to prepare other business for the
Convention, when a recess was. ta
keu until 4 P. M.
On reassembling the different
Congressional Districts reported
their action upon the selection of
an electoral ticket, which was ratifi
ed by the Convention. The elector
for the 2d District, is A. L. llaws,
of Baker ooanty, with It. M, Ely,
of Dougherty, as alternate. The
electors for the State at large are
W. L. Wofford, 11. L. Penning,

(in ahorne.) As the State-Conven
tion of the “ Liberals” was Also in
sfcssio’n to clay, they sent a 'commu
nication to the President of the
Democratic convention, asking a
conference with a delegation from
.said assembly, which was received,
read, and a committee of five ap
pointed to meet with the Liberals,
to-see if a union of .interests could'
not be agreed upon for the conduct
ing of the approaching campaign.
Before the adjournment*, said com
mittee made their report, which
ivas, in substance, that no compro
mise’ could bo agreed upon, which
would be accepted by both parties.
The Liberals offering to support
our State nominations, also, our Na
tional ticket if the Democrats would
allow them a proportionate share of
State and District’ Electors, and
.thereby both parties, support the
same candidates. I was sorry to
•see this proposition fail to meet
the aproval of the a Bourbons,” and
the split made upon that issue.—
The “Liberals” as well as the red
hot Rads will, therefore, make their
nominations and enter the cam
paign for State and county offices.
The action of the Convention, in
this particular, fails to meet the
sanction of'a large proportion of
the delegates, inasmuch as resolu
tions cnd&rsmg Greeley and Brown
were passed . wiicn-not more than
one-third of the delegates were in
their seats. Much indignation was
manifested at the proceedings,
when it became known what had
transpired during their absence on
committees.
I have not yot learned who Will
be put up by the Liberal party, but
it is generally believed Gov. Brown
will bo the man. If so an exciting
and close race may be expected.
The Legislature is pushing bills
through with a vim. In the Dis
tricting of the State, the 2d loses
Stewart, Webster, Lee and Sumpt
er counties, while Mitchell, Thom
as, Brooks, Colquitt, Berrien and
Echols are added to it, which is not
at all objectionable.

has passed, Randolph loses hue

did their best in the premises, but
could nothing. I will send

Ben. Hill is specking to-night
as I write. I suppose lie will fire a
broadside into the Bourbons for
their actions to-day in refusing an
alliance with his ways, or rather
in refusing liini to unite with them.
I leave Friday morning for the
up country, and will try and report
events of interest falling under my
observation. •

and Brown are about to bring their
affairs to a crisis. It is reported
that Gen. Kershaw, of S. C., is

Brown and Gardiner hero but nary

Toombs will be able to “drink all

next few days will determine as to
the correctness of these remarks.

state bonds.
By legislative act, entitled “an
act to protect the people of Georgia
against illegal and fi audition t issue'of
bonds and securities, and for other
purposes connected .with the same.”
passed December 9, 1871, it was
provided that ,a joint, committee of
the Senate and House of Represen
atives should be appointed, whose
dirty it should.lie to ascertain and
report-the number cQE bonds and in
dorsements which had 'been.issued
and put in circulation by Rufus B.
Bullock, lrde Governor; the aggre
gate amount thereof, by. wlrani the
same were sold, the-amount'd' mon
ey paid. thelefor, the. times when,
and the person's to whom such pay
ments were made, and'all ether facts
•connected with the history of said
bonds. .
The committee appointed by vir
tue of this act will submit their re
port, I learn during, the present
session of the Legislature. While
it is proper that I postpone any ex
tended remarks upon the classes of
claims and securities mentioned in
the act, until after the information
collected by the committee shall
have been laid before you, yet I feel
constrained .to say that in my opin
ion, the State is bound for the re
demption of only • such obligations
as have been issued in Conformity
with law. If money, raised upon
unauthorized securities has come
into the treasury, the State is bound
to account for the saige. But con
siderations of public policy forbid
that the State should recognize as
valid and-binding, any contract •'en
tered into by any person not au
thorized -to make the same. The
Governor lias no authority, by vir
tue-of his office alone; to issue bonds
of the State. To do this; he must
be specially authorized by a legisla
tive act,” passed for that purpose.—
When. so empowered, lie bccornes-a
special * agent,' and oannot trans
cend the limits of tho grant confer
ring his powers. It is a well estab
lished principle, that persons hav
ing dealings with public agents, in
matters like this, are strictly bound
to look to the authority of such
agents.
Agricultural- land script.
By an act of Ccpigrcss, passed in
the year 1862,. donations -of land
\Verc offered to the States .for the
purpose of establishing agricultural
and mechanical colleges. The Stat-es
accepting the donations.were allow
ed to the 2d day of July instant, to es
tablish the colleges. The scrip issued
to the State of Georgia, under the
provisions of said act of .Congress,
was sold, by my immediate predeces
sor, at ninety cents per*acre, making
the sum of $243,000. Os this, the
sum of SG,-400 'has' been received.
The remaining portion will ndj, be
come duo until the 3d day of duly,
•1873.. ,
Finding that the time ir v which
tho college in this State must be es
tablished, if at all would expire be
fore the meeting of the General As
sembly, and feeling unwilling to ap
ply to Congress to extend the time
for the reason that such application
iirall probability would have been
used as a pretext for attaching to
the donations conditions which
would -have rendered-the same odi
ous to the people? I determined that
it was my duty to exercise the pow
er conferred upon the Executive by
the Legislature, and to save this im
portant fund fot# our people. The
question arose, bow could this best
be done.
In looking over the State, it was
found that vve had several excellent
institutions of learning, and that
the people in several localities-desir
ed to have the college established
in their midst. This was natural
and praiseworthy. But my duty
was plainly pointed out by law,
and beyond this, I could not go. —
The act-of the Legislature, approv
ed December, 12, iB6O, conferred
upon tho Governor all the power
necessary to Save the fund to the
btate. The act of Congress, how
ever, making the donation, required
that the college should be actually
established by the 2d day of July,
16?2. There was no such college
111 existence in this State, and I, as
the chief executive officer under the
government, had no authority to.
create such an institution. The Leg
islature had failed to organize a col
lege for tliis purpose, or to dispose
of tho fund, and would not reassem
ble in time to take the necessary ac
tion. What .then, to bo done.
By the terms of its charter, tire
trustees of the -.University of the
State located at Athens, and already
in successful operation, possesed am
ple poWers to establish such a col
lege as that described in the act of
Congress making.the donation, and
it was only by the. prompt exercise
of these powers by the trustees that
the fund did not become forfeit.—
The. trustees held a meeting.in this
city on the thirtieth day of. March
last, when they organized a college
in conformity to the law granting
the donating, made formal-applica
tion for the use of the fund, and re
ceived an executive order bestow
ing the same upon tlfe universi
ty.
I herewith transmit copies of the
the proceedings had at said meeting
of the trustees, and of the executive
order refered to.
It may be remarked that the act
of Congress prescribed the condition
upon which the donation Was made.
One of these condtions requiring
that the State, upon accepting the
donation, should become bound to
preserve the fund, and. see that no
part of the- same was lost or misap
plied. The accep'tanca.of the fund
made the State a trustee for the
uses declared in the act creating tho'
trust. To enable the State to per
form its duty and protect the fund
it was manifestly necessary-that the
same should be kept within the eon'
trol of the Legislature. The- uni
versity is a. State institution, and
the action of the trustees may be re
viewed by the General'Assembly.
This is true of no other institution
of learning in the State. In grant-,
ing the fund-to tug university, there-',
fore, I was careful to pMce it where
the Legislature would still retain the
power to interpose Tor its proper ap
plication and preservation. No part
of the principal fund, or of the in
terest, could be appropriated to the
purchase or erection af buildings for
the college, but no delay was occa
sioned on this account, since there
were already suitable buildings be
longing to'the the university, which
could be used for that purpose.
For these and other reasons which
might bo given, I deemed it- to bo
my duty to save the donation in the
only practicable way left open to .me
and to grant the.fund to the Univer
sity of the State. ’ .
It may be added that the eollege
■went into operation on the Ist day
of May under the most promising
auspices, and that there are already
about one hundred students receiv
ing instruction in tlio same free of
charge. .The prospect is that this
number will be largely increased,
and that the State, so far at least
as her agricultural and meehanical
interest are involved, will soon en
ter upon anew and more prosperous
career. What we most need is
thorough and practical education,
and this the* new college promises
to secure to all classes of the'people
. —to the poor as well as the rich atid
more fortunate.
PENITENTIARY.*
By authority of the act approved
December 14, 1871, authorizing the
Governor to farm out the convicts
in the penitentiary, I proceeded, af
ter due notice given, to lease the
same for the term pf two -years to
Grant, Alexander & Cos., at
tho sum Os fifty dollars per capita
per annum.* The number of '.con
victs in the peniteniary on the day
the lease was executed was four
hundred and thirty-two: The num
ber on the Ist of this month had in- <
creased to four hundred and seven
ty-five.' Thiij-y.-two havq been dis
charged in -.the meantime, their
terms having expired., , *
This-marked increase in the num
ber of conyicts is. not due to any
.augmentation of Crime-in the. State,
but is. believed, to be'the result- en
tirely of a more .rigid and proper
enforcement of the laws. This i:i
stifutidh heretofore has been a'
source.of expense, to the State Un
der tlio present ‘ arrangement', fi-ow
\ever, it.is not probable that any Ap
propriations will become necessary
for its support and main tai nan pe, —
On- the-esnttary,*it wi-H ’probably be
productive of considerable reven
ue.'
- pardoning power.
It may be here remarked-that in
the present State-of society, I' have
felt it to lie my duty to ‘confine the
exercise of the* pardoning, power
within very strict limits. Courts
and.jtfiios constitute tjie proper tri
bunal for the trial of criminal offen
ses, and it is mo part of the
duty qf tlffi Executive-.to inter
vene to screen the guilty from puu
ishment. The theory of the law
upon this subject is, that when
guib- has been ascertained in the
manner prescribed by the supreme
authority, the interest of society de
mauds that the offender be punish
ed. ' The most painful duty- Which
devolves upon the chief magistrate"
o! the 'commonwealth is the refusal
of-appeals made to Executive clem
ency.. Impressed as I have been,
however, with the conviction that
thc.good order, peace .and welfare
of society depend in a large ‘meas
ure upon the due enforcement -of
the laws, I have felt constrained to
refuse to mrerfere with the due ex
ecution of j udgementS. pronounced
by the judicial, authorities. It is
believed that a strict adherence to
this line of duty will result, at rlo
distant day, in restoring to the peo
ple that feeling of security, with
out which society can be neither
prosperous nor happy. . T am glad
to have it in my power to'add’ that
there has been n marked elimination
of crime throughout tlio State, and
that there is reason to believe that
this dimin nation -will become more
marked in the future.

Greeley anti the South.
Horace Greeley's Pacifit Policy
Advocated by Jlihi Seven Years
ago — llls 'Opinion of Lee.
An incident in Mr. Greeley’s his
tory, so creditable to his head mid
heart that it ought, lf>ng "age? have
been made public, has just come to
light, and we hastened to place it
before the readers of the News, not
less'as an act of justice to- Mr v Gree
ley then a matter, es general, inter
est. to the country. The wonder is
that this incident sho'uld so long
have been kept, secret, dating back
as'it does seven years' ago :
ANDREW JOHNSON SENDS FOR GREE
LEY.
Soon after Johnson was installed
as president, he sent a gentleman
named Camp, to New York to so
licit an interview with- Horace
Greeley unable to leave the .-capi
tal, Greeley must come to -him at
once at the White House.. Greeley
promptly complied, with the request.
After the first formal civilities were
over, Camp-rose to leave, put Pres
ident Johnson requested him to re
main and ho did so during (he
■interview.
Johnson-opened the conversation
saying that he found himself • in
■ the most tiying position.- The na
tion was convulsed with passion in
consequence of' Mr. Lincoln’s as
sassination, the situation was new 7
afid embarrassing to him; he felt
inadequate to! the task to which he
had been so unexpectedly called,
and fie felt the need, as lie had "npv
er before, felt it, of the ' counsel of
some cool and sagacious man. lie
had, therefore, seut for Mr. Greeley.
• What cotirse to pursue, how to
stem the torrent of Northern fren
zy, hovv to manage the reins of gov-'
eminent in a crisis so awful was a
problem too deep for him to solve
—Placing himseif in Mr. Greeley’s
hands he asked:
WHAT JUTST J DO? .
Thanking him for the confidence
thus reposed in him, Mr.
replied that his bgpt course was tp
■callto his assistances few of the wis
est and best men in the country.---.
They should be representative men .
from the two great sections. On the
part of the North, he would suggest
Govern or Andre w,of Massaohusetts;
Gerrit Smith, of New York, and
Judge spaldirt, of Ohio. A like
number of Southern gentlemen,
should be called they should be in?
kvitod to the White House.as guests
of the President, there to remain
'and deliberate as- long as they,
thought fit; and- having agreed
upon some policy they should sub
mit it the President for his approved
and if approved by him as Mr. Gree
ley boubnod not it would be, it
should.be faithflly and rigidlly pur
sued, despite the popular clamor
which might for a tinie ensue.
. Mr. Johnson thought well of the
suggestioh. ‘'But what Southern
then should I invite, Mr.- Greeley,
to meet the gentlemen you have
named from the North ?”
“First and foremost,” said Mr.
Greeley, “Robert E. Leo, of Vir->
.ginia;” .
Great heavens !” exclaimed John
son ; “he is- the very . head and
front of the rebellion.
“I know that,” said Greeley, “and
for that very reason you should, in
vite hum lie knows,if* any man
does-the wants of the Southern
people ; he of all men possesses the*
confidence of the entire South, he
is upright* And pure ; he Would not
recommend a single action on your
part which vvpuld not meet tho ap
proval of your advisers from the north
and the. result of the . deliberations
in which.' Robert E. Leo, Judge
Camel, of Alabama, and a third mail
like theuwfroin the South, too.k part,
would not only insure the approba
tion of the disaffected States, but in
the course' of a tew months, would, I
am firmly persuaded, bring to your
suppbrt every right-minded and
right hearted man at the, North.
The pacification, of the estranged
sections, -your main difficulty—
would thus be solved, and your path
made cloar towards the solution of’
minor difficulties. llow are you to
discover the true sentiment of' the
South and the wants of its people if
you do not consult her representa
tive men? 'And wh it sort .of re
storation will that’ be In'the plan of
which tho South has no part what
ever ? •It must of necessity be one
sided, partial and unjust. Be per
suaded, Mr. President, and call to
your aid men of standing, position
and temper I have •suggested, and
by alt means call them froin byth
sections.” . .
In this strain, Mi - . • Greeley con
tinued, until, lie had. * -
fairly‘Won tub president
over to bis way of '.thinking. The
interview ended with the assuuanpe
from the President that he would
adopt the views of Mr. Greeley and
follow them, exactly. He would
howevei;, make a single modilica
tioiG—‘he would substitute Horace
Greeley in-placd of Gerrit' Smith.
“•Very well,” said Mr. G:, “if
you call mo I will come gladly and
aid you to tho best of my ability.”
They departed, and ten-day alter
Wards-Johnson threw Greeley’s sug
gestions, to the winds,'adopted “m y
policy” and pursued it, with what
result the country is but too sa.dly
aware.- ’ • •* •
Thus it will bo seen that the roll
of pacificator is'.
NdNEW THING
with'Mr. Greeley, but is only a
part which lie has systematically
pursued ever since the close of the
w;ir. So, ■ also, his -confidence in
the integrity and good sense of tiie
Southern leaders, and,.liis willing
ness to trust Southern people is. no
new thing. ‘ What he is to day he
was years ago, and what better
guarantee do we‘want for the fu
ture? At a til its when Ihe North
was wild with . rage against the
South, when the execution of 'evei;y.
one of her politlcial and military
-chiefs and the .confiscation of the
entire property of Lor people would
’. have atoned m Northern eyes for
Liqcohhs assassination then Gree
ley, with the wisdom of the states
man and the sympathy of a great
heart, stood up for the South alone
in his party, recommending a. line
-of policy which would have brought
peace and happiness to the country,
nnd'exhibiting traits of character
which do credit to and commend hu
manity. That an ocuurreuejj so im
portant should never befor.e- have
•been divulged, is, I repeat simply
marvellous. That it should without
delay gp to the country, and to
the world should be not so much a
duty as a.pleasure, For.
•“One good deed dying tonguc-less,”

And'the press, which ever leves

“The Rebel Yell,” which so en
rages our Grant friends just now, is
simply a “rebel yell” against war
measures in time of peace, against
the suspension of the habeas coryus,
against interference in State elec
tions, against the Bullocks and
Holdens, Claytons and -Davises,
and men like tffem. been
pinned To the South by the bayonet
government of the present Admin
istration. The ,‘rebel yell,”-.just
now; is for peace, law and older,
and equal rights for States and citi
zens- It is simply a yell against
political tyrarfhy, sectional parti
alities and personal hates. If it
can reach the car of the Dionysius
at the White Ilbuse,- and enter till*
doors of the Federal Departs in
Washington, and remove the
strong hand of Feberal power in
the States, it- will bo like the voice
which brings good news from a
far country, and diffuses blessings

By the use of this Power, more Gotton muy.be Ginned per day

We claim to occupy, even in this age of improvciSeut, the foremost
rank of all Horse Powers yet invented. It Is

CERTIFICATES.
. Macon,. Georgia, April 9th , 187*2.
AVc, tho undersigned, have this day examined thg practical working ot
I«i»on’s Horse l*oxver, and are so well pleased, that we feel no
hesitation in asserting that its Mechanical Arrangement .is such as to ob
viate most of the defects so very common to other Powers, and we feel
that it is destined to supply a want ’long felt and sai*ght after ; viz.: a
Simple, Durable and Efficient Machine, with less Friction, and free
from the liability of breakage by sudden-jerks. AVe witnessed a 45-saw
Gin driven by it, with two interior mules, doing good work, with saws
full depth, and a full Toll.

• Baker County, Gar., May 10,1872.
This certifies that we have witnessed the working of the ‘Xamoii
Horse .Power,. and have no hesitation in saying that it is the most
complete, durable and light running Machine we have ever seen. We
witnessed a 45-saw Gin driven by it with one horse, with as much ’ease
us,the old gear with lour mules. We recommend every farmer who has
a gin house to purchase one of the Lamon Horse Power.
