VV« lay before out readers the following Copy of a correspond ilenee which took piaoe between His Excellency Governor Bul lock, and the Comptroller General of the State, the Hon. Madison Bel I, to which we invite special attention. The correspondence' speaks for itself, and it is not neCessatry that Wtt should present views of our own, on this occasion* on the subject matter to' whie.li it refers. The enquiry made by the Gonerndr of the Comptroller General in view to vhe statement that had been made was proper in*itselt, and the reply of the Comptroller cannot but satisfy all unprejudiced and honest men, that neither has lie, nor the Governor exceeded the power •vested in them, the one. in drawing of Warrants, upon ill* Tieasurv to pay demands against the State, and the other in auditing* and passing them over to the biale Treasury for payment. Both the law and precedent sustain their iction in the matter, and Treasurer Angier is alone at fault, ns we have heretofore shown, in the matter of contro versy between himself, the Executive and the Comptroller,- in setting up his opinions as against the judgement and authority of the Executive head of the State Government. governor bullock’s letter. E X EOUTIVK D F.PARTM7.NT, ) AtlauU, Ga„ July 17, 1868.] Hon. AT. Bell. Comptroller General: Sir Your attention is invited to the following extract from a: published statement made in the interest of the Hon. N. L. An gier. State Treasurer; *VVe pimsTun■; the Chief Justice and res not wish to be understood to say that, the Tro-ftnrer hr n n> right to refuse to p*y a war rant when there is u > appropri.Jt.ioii to cover said warrant, or when the warrant is drawn on an appropriation which his been' exhausted, even though the warrant may he approved by the Compt ioiler G *neral. No class of warrants have been refused by the Treasurer, save those drawn up >n an appropriation after the same has been ex hausted, ttiose drawn upoa the wrong fund, and lhose*drawu when no appropriation existed to cover them.*’ I desire to be informed: Ist, if any warrant has been drawn by the Executive and approved by you “on an appropriation which has been exhausted?” As to those referred to “drawn upon the wrong fnnd.Vit ’" 8 <>f course simply matter of opinion, wherein the Honorable Treas urer placet? his own in opposition to the official act of the Execu tive approved by the Comptroller in accordance with the written opinion of the Attorney General, The objection of the Honorable Treasurer to the warrants “drawn on tire wrong tuiid" is not that said warrants do not re present a lawful claim aga.nst the State, but that in his opinion, what the Executive, the Attorney General, and yourself, uuile in deciding to be the right fund, is the “wrong nind.’’ Also, please inform me: 21, If any warrant has been drawn by the Executive and approved ny you “when there is no appropria tion to cover said warrant?” Very respectfully, Kurus B. Buttock, Governor. BAINBRIDGE, GA,, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1869. REPfcf of the Comptroller General, GENERAL’S OFFICE ) tt # V Atlanta, July 19, 1869.) To His Excellency Rcfcs B. Bullock: Sir-j-J acknowledge *1 he receipt of your corn mu meat bm of the JTtU.inst., calling my attest ‘toll to a certain mtalement ‘'made in the interest >1” Gie State Treasurer, and in reply have to say Ist. 1 hat I have never knowingly ap proved a warrant drawn on any fond after it was exhausted, because I knew auoli ap proval wop Id be in violation of the express provisions of Paragraph 6, Section 94 or tho Code, - I would state, however, in this con. nection, that upon the;hypothesis that the contingent fund appropriated by the Legislature of 1868, sos ' the latter half of the year, was limited b> $16,000, said fund # was over drawn by about fifty dollars, bit • lie warrant Was the last one diaw on that fund, and was in favor of the Treasurer himself to cover incidental expenses, such at post-age, ets., which Ire-paid, Tips war. rant was approved without that close scru* tiny and calculation Iren ally adopted, and I suppose the same thing occured with the Treasurer. But it may not be amiss here to state, that according to the oppinion of the .Attorney General, the fund was not limited to SIO,OOO, hy reason of the latter clause of the section appropriating it, and in this View of the subject, the appropria tion was not overdrawn. By the same sec* tion of the Appropriation act of 1868, fif teen thousand dollars was appropriated as {£ Printing Kuiml, and it was declared in thJ latter part of #akl section, that “in oaS'e of a deficiency in this appropriation the Governor is hereby authorized to draw bis warrant on the Treasurer for the same 'to be paid out of any money in the Treas ury not otherwise appropriated.’ I was Satisfied'that the clause just quoted, ren dered the appropriation indefinite and nn d, and, Jwheii the fifteen thousand dollars wAs exhausted, I did not hesitate to approve Warrants drawn on the same section. Besides, my own construe** tion o'the law was sustained by that of the Attorney General,- whose opinion 1 had taken the precaution to obtain, before ap* proving any Wfirrafft after, the sls 000,00 had been exhausted. Indeed* whenever J had ahy dotibts as to what course I should pursue in approving warrants, I submitted the matter to that*officer, he being, under the Constitution* thq legal adviser of the Slate House officers; 2d. I hate niter tb my knowledge ap proved a warrant drawn hy the Executive “when theft; was ho appropriation to fcover Said Warrant;” I have approved many warrants where there was no special ap propriation to meet them, but in all such eases, I recognised the authority to do so under sortie general clamse of the appropri ation Act, or under some provision of the Code of Georgia, and I considered it in such eases, as much my duty to approve the warrants as if they had been drawn on some special appropriation which had not been'exhausted. In reference to the subjects of warrants alleged to have been drawn on the “\viong fund,’’ I beg leave to say in jnstiiScailionr of the cotlrse I have pursued, that I. have not at any time to my knowledge approved a wan ant drawn upon a fund specially preprinted and restricted to some other pur pose. I have apjJftoved warrants drawn on the Pointing Fund for advertising Execu tive Orders, Proclamations, &c, which I Understand the. Treasurer has refused to pay, because they were not drawn on the Contingent Fund. I have not been able to satisfy my mind that such w<**rra.uts Were drawn on the fund Indeed, I have considered my Self justified both by law and precedent iri the course I have pursued, Section 1,042 of the. Code declares, that “all p.rintiirg other than that performed by the Public Printer, which necessity may demand, shall be printed at the seat of Government, or such of he f-pi ace as may be necessary, ift the discretion of the Governor under his direction and super* vision, upon reasonable rates,- to be paid for out of the Contingent Fund.” I hare not considered the advertisement of a Proc lamation as at all coming within the mean-* ing or intention of this section, because the word ‘printing’ is used, and has to rny mmd a distinct technical meaning, different from the word ‘advertising’ or ‘publishing.’ It clearly means such job work as it may Le necessary to 1 have done,* outside of thai which the law requires the Public Pi inter to do, and -not the publication of an Cider or Proclamation. In the performance ol the latter service, it is not the mere skill and labor of setting up the type and stri king off the sheets that constitute the gist and value of the service, it is the space id the newspaper, and the circulation and publicity thereby given to the notice. The mere printing of the notice Is not what Was intended, nor what is charged for in such cases, but it is tho publication and circula tion of the notice Hitiohg the people. The knowledge and information thus proniulga>. ted and imparted to the public constitute the consideration for which the warrant in such cases is issued} sirch a warrant, there fore in rny judgment, is not for that species of printing referred to in section 1043 of the Code, and I.enCe may properly be drawn on the Printing Fund, In other words, the law in my judgment, does not restrict the payment of claims for advertising, &c., to the Contingent Fund, and in this view I am amply sivstained by the practice of the Governors and tlie Comptroller Generals of the St*to for many years back. 'lt was the practice of Governor Jenkins,'as the warrant books in this office show, to draw wan ants for the puolicatiori of Proclama tions, Orders,,&c., on the Prinling Fund; and this section, 1043, of the Code was in as full force during his administration as it is now, In all such cases, if the Warrant was within the'amount appropriated, 1 did not consider myself authorized or required to go behind it. because the law* in my judg ment, basts ho such responsibility Upon me. It may npt be improper in me to state before closing, that I made a full statement to the Legislature of 1869, in my report of every warrant that I had approved up to the first of JanUaVy last, giving the num ber, date, amount, the purpose for which drawn, the person in whose favor drawn, and the fund'or appropriation Upon which each warrant was drawn, and I expect to do so again when that body assembles. And if, with this information before them, they shall again adjourn, leaving the law in reference to the issuing and approving of Executive warrants as it now is and seehis to have been for years past, I shall continue to do, in the future, as I have been doing heretofore. Very respectlnlly, Madison bell, Comptroller General.
