Fla. R. R. wades into “Justitia” in a series
of grand and lofty flights, because fors

tiaV irony may be misunderstood; for our
part we understood that part of the letter
refering to the S. G. & Fla. R. R just as the
author intended it, as a farce. We do not,
nor does “Justitia,” or any one else in this
community entertain the least fears, of the
roads injuring us, we think in some respect
we will be benefited by it ; but we do not
agree with our cotemporary in making the
S. G. & Fla. road the future route to the
West and North. For our part we will
take a through ticket over the Bainbridge,
Cutiibert and Columbus Railroad, the only
direct route, to the North and Northwest

PKLSS EXCURSION.
We acknowledge the receipt of an in*
vitatiun from Col. Util her t, Superintendent
of the Slate road, to the Press of Georgia,
to make an excursion to the vast mineial
resources of our State, and part of Alaba
ma and Tennessee.
The entire trip will consume about
twelve days. The trip will undoubtedly,
be very interesting, and we presume the
editorial fraternity will be pretty generally
represented. The objects of the trip are
more fully stated in the following;
Our immediate section abounds in resources,
whose value, developed by the well-directed and
energetic application of labor and capital, it is im
possible to estimate,
Imbedded in our mountains, almost everywhere,
•re deposits of the richest Iron and other Ores,
whose developeuient will give profitable employ
ment to thousands of people, and to millions of
capital.
These resources of our State, skillfully developed
wiTT, fn a few years, cause the iron crop of Georgia
to exceed in value her present cotton crop An
examination of them is all that is needed to dem
onstrate the proposition and convince the most
skeptical.
Desiring to affoid the members of the Press of
Georgia an opportunity of visiting localities endow
ed with aueh a wealth of natural resources that
they may see fjr themselves, and make known to
the country at large, the very extraordinary in
ducements offered to capital and labor in the pro
duction of iron, I have the honor of tendering them

Another Li'licr from Jlaj. Jludisoii
Cell.
Atlanta. Ga., July 28. 1869.
The controversy between the State Trea
surer ami myself has not been sought or
desired by me, but, on the contrary, 1 have
endeavored by every means that honor and
self-respect would justify, to avoid it.
This controversy first grew out of a cor
respondence between the Governor and
this Office, elicited by a note of inquiry
from the former. In my reply, I stated
that l had not approved warrants drawn
upon a fund that was exhausted, or war*
rants drawn upon llie wrong fund, or
drawn when there was no appropriation to
meet them. My reply was couched in as
respectful language as 1 could command,
and even exhibited a scrupulous abstinence
from any discourteous allusions to lhe ac
tion or motives of the Treasurer, whatever.
His first effort was to prove that my answ
er to the Governor’s interrogatories were
not true, but having failed to do this, bis
subsequent effusions are a mixture of reck-,
'ess assertions and personal invective,
which I do not propose to notice, but as
the Treasurer sets hiipself up to lie the
only officer who confines himself within le
gal bounds, I do propose to exhibit some of
his inconsistencies, and to show that his
actions have not been in accordance wit
his profession. And, as he has taken the
liberty to deal so unspuiringly with what
In* affects to consider the motives that have
prompted my official action in the premises
he will pardom me if I take a slight rej
trospect of his own. He referred to my
approval of warrems drawn on the Print
ing Fund to pay advertising Executive
proclamations, orders, &c. as proof of the
charge that I had approved warrants
drawn on a fund specially appropriated
and restricted to some other purposes
The vindication of my course in this mat
ter is before the public, and it is not neces
sary to repeat it. But what will the pub
lic think when I utter the assurance that
this immaculate Treasurer paid these war
rants without a murmur down to as recent
a period as the Bth of December 1868, and
that I can prove what I say by his own
report winch I now have before me. On
page 17 of this report under the head on
•Printing Fund of 1868,’ I observe tfie first
warrant. No 304, in favor of Dr. Samuel
Bard, ‘for advertising Governors proda*
(nations, to July 24th 1868, $149 00.”
Then follows forty seven more warrants
for the same species of service, and drawn
on the same fund, running through a peiiod
of nearly four months, and for a sum of
money amounting in the aggregate, to ov
er six thousand and five hundred dollars.
Where were his scruples then, and with all
his boasted knowledge and legal acmen,
why had he not discovered during that
period of nearly four months, that it was
a violation of law to pay such warrants,
Why has he not explained to the public,
while cjndeavoring to fix the approval of
such warrants on me as a crime, as a con
spiracy to rob llie Treasury, how is it that
he was participant in the same crime by
paying forty-seven of those illegal war—
lants, amounting to the sum of six thou
eand five hundred dollars? Let him alo<>
explain liuw it happened that he became so
suddenly enlighuteed as to the law, and so
scroupuloiisly conscientious as to stop the
payment of such warrants just about the
time he had a rupture with the Governor.
Plain unsophisticated people would regard
this as rather a singular coincidence at
least, and all fair minded, unprejudiced men
would like to have it explained. Can it
possibly be, that as long as the Treasurer
was on friendly terms with the Governor,
he was willing to unite in the 'conspiracy’
and patticipate in a violation of the law,
hut as soon us a breach occured between
them, he changed his course; not for the
sake of the law, but for the purpose of an
noying the Governor by dishonoring his
warrants? He was either ignorant of the
law and his duty as a public officer, as he
now professes to understand them, or lie
knowingly and criminally violated the law,
(for it stood then precisely as it does now)
and in either case he should come to’ the
confessional and make an atonement for
his error, before he arraigns another offi •<*••
before the public for approving tho 47
warrants that he paid.
In his last communication, which appeal
ed in the Era of the 27th instant, he again
refers to my approval of warrants in favor
of additional clerks m the Executive office,
and triumphantly asks. ‘Where is his an*
thority for departing from law, and letting
the Governor’s sense of pressuie be his
rule of action?” Ido not notice this point
now with the view of again vindicating
my action in the premises—this I have al
ready done in. former communieations. But
Ido so for the purpose of again showing
up the Treasurer’s ineonsistaney by intro
ducing his own official acts. I find by re
terauce to the record, that warrant No 149,
in favor of N. L. Angier.fsr SBB2 55, drawn
on tlm 6th section of tile Appropriation act
of 1868, ‘for stationary, printing &C.,’ was
approved and entered on the 20lh of Jan
uary, 1869. Then again; I find that war
rant, No. 107, in favor of the same, for
stationary, exchange, telegram, express
charges &0., and drawn on the 22d section
ol the Appiopiiiliou act of 1869, was 4 ap
proved and entered on the 19lh of Julv,
1860. Where was your authority Mr.
Treasurer, ‘for departing from the law’ in
these two cases? Why was it not as law
ful to pay the warrant of Mr. Conley, the
State Librarian, drawn upon the same 231
section, for postage stamps, drayage, &c,.
for the use of his office, and for which lie
had advanced the cash out of his own funds?
His warrant was in every respect siinliar
To your own, yet yon refused to pay it be
cause it was drawn on the 23d section,
Let it be understood tout the 7th section
of the act of 1868 and 23d section of the
act of 1869 are the some in substance. If
it were contrary to law to pay Mr. Con
ley’s warrant, where is the authority, Mr
Treasurer, for paying your own! What
excuse have you for breaking the law in
your owmi favor, and recognizing it when
the interest of others are involved? I
ought to mention while passing, that Con
ley’s warrant was only for s4l 30; while
yours (the last named) was for $785 40.
But, again: The Treasurer has arraign
ed me for approving warrants for extra
service, and goes out of his way to ullude
steel ally to a warrant in favor of my
brother, which he styles as “doubtful pro
priety.” 1 wonder what lie th -tight of
certain warrants in favor of his son, which
he paid, and where he finds his much vaun
ted “authority of law’’ for so doing. Now
1 assert, that the warrant in favor of irty
brother, to which I presume he alludes,
was authorized by express provision of law
On p«gc 186; published laws of 1868, reso-
Intiou No. 14 expressly authorizes me to
have certain entries transferred in my
office and to employ a suitable clerk to do
Ihe work. By this authority I employed
my brother, and he executed the work to
the entire satisfaction of a Legislative corn*
mittee, who examined it. Why then this
insinuation that the warrant was of donht»
fill propriety? But, as the Treasurer
speaks of the amount of said warrant being
at the rate ol $l5O 00, it occurs to me that
he may possibly refer to another warrant
in favor of my brother for services under
the Wild Land laws. If so, he is equally'
unfortunate, for section 878 of the Code
expressly authorizes the Governor to ap -
point a clerk to perform the duties upon
which my brother has been for some time
engaged, having been appointed by the
Governor. For this service the warrant
was drawn at the rate of $l5O 00 per month
and as no salary was fixed Ivy law for this
clerk, the Governor* in his discretion, fixed
it as above. It is thp same that has been
allowed other clerks, both iu the Executive
office and iu the office of Superintendent of
Public Works. Also, the clerks employed
to make county maps, &c., all which the
Treasurer has paid heretofore without
doubting their propriety, so farms lam
informed. But why did the Treasurer pay
a warrant for SSOO in favor of his son for
making certain entries in his office, and
why did he at a subsequent period, pay
another warrant in favor of his son for the
same service for $350, making iu allsßso
for these transfers, when there is no ex-«
press law authorizing it? The resolution
named refers exclusively to the Comptrol
ler General’s office, yet I find on my book
the two warrants in favor of the Trcasq
ier’s son for exlra service transfenng
Treasurer Rockwell’s books, &c. This is
not all. 4he Treasurer affects great ven
eration for law, and the will of the Legis
lature, yet in the teeth of his pretensions,
I find on my book warrant No. 28 for $l5O.
in favor of his son approved November 10,
1868, for extra services as Treasurer’s
clerk On page 10, laws of 1868, section
13 of the Appropriation Act, these is ap
propriated SSOO 00 to pay the salary of
the same clerk for the latter half of 1868.
This act became a law 10th of October,
1868, and here was the expressed will of
the Legislature that the Treasurer’s clerk
should have but SSOO for half lhe year, or
at the rate of SIOOO-per year! Yet on the
10th of November thereafter, the Treasurer
with all his veneration for law and. the ex
pressed will of the Legislature, paid his son
$l5O over and above his lawful salary.
Again, on the 18th January, 1869,1 find
that another warrant for tile same amount
No. 132, in favor of his son, was approved
and entered, for similar services in the
Treasurer’s office, Now, let it be remem
bered that about the same time that each
of these warrants was approved, "another
warrant for $250, drawn on on the civil
appropriation for the salary of this* same
clerk was approved and jpiitL. so that Jin
drew the SSOO appropriated, anil ijiauu
besides, for his services during the latter
hull of the year 1868.
The Treasuftr comments severely upon
my assertion that J had no right to supei
vine the Governor in his application of tin-
Contingent Fund, and attempts to show by
quotations from the code that it is my duty
to audit aM accounts and allow or i eject
them before they are submitted to the
Governor, but this docs not show that I
have the right to designate the fund out of
which they shall be paid.
I have audited and allowed or rejected
every account that has ever been presented
to me, and if 1 have not done this in cas--
of all the accounts that have been paid, it
was because the holders have not pfesent*
ed them. And here the Treasurer is again
unfortunate. He takes me to task for not
approving every account or item paid for
out of ‘he Contingent Fund by the Govers
nor, when lie himself has neglected, in
some instances, to present his accounts for
approval, and has filed his accounts in the
Executive Office indorsed with his own
approval alone, presented his warrant at
his office, had it approved and pocketed
the money. I ask again, why lie thus
disregarded tin* injunction ortho law which
he has quoted? Why docs he not set a
better example, and practice what he
teaches? I find on file in the Executive
Office accounts amounting in the aggre*
gate to over S7OO, approved by the Treas
urer embracing in* part, each payment
made by him for stationery, exchange, ex
press charges, telegrams, water cooler,
letter beads, &c , and this is included in
one of the »ame warrants referred to before
drawn on the 23d section of the Appropri
ation Act ot 1869. Now, not one of these
accounts has my opproval upon »\ yet in
the eyes of the Treasurer, it is a great
dereliclwm of duty in me not t> audit ev
ery account for which a warrant is iss
sued. So it seems when he wants to get
money, he doos not want for the regular
routine which he now insists that the pub
lic creditors shall follow’ at least, he did
not wait in the instance referred to.
In conclusion. 1 would remark that in
all I have said during my controversy with
the Treasurer, 1 have dealt with him in his
official capacity, and it has been my pur
pose to avoid personalities. Being at
tacked, I considered it a solemn duly to
defend my official cotnse; and the honor
and dignity of the Comptroller General’s
office. This was due to the public, for
whose benefit the office I hold should be
administered Further than this it has
not been u*y intention to go, and with this
I bid the Treasurer adieu—at least for tire
present.

Manners. —There is nothing which adds
so much to a young man’s success in life
as the practice of good manners* A polite
man will show his good breeding wherever
he goes, on the side walk, in the buggy as
in your parlor. If you meet a man who
refuses to give yon half the road, or to turn
out on the sidewalk, you may class him
as a man of no sense of justice iu his soul.
When we speak of polite men we do not
wish to be understood a6 refering to one
who bows low and takes his hat to ladies
and men of position and turns away from
the poor, we mean the honest sac
man who carries a smile on his conntenence
and wjio never turns his face from the poor,
we mean the man who has kind salutations
when In* meets you in the morning, and a
pleasant ‘good night’ in the evening, a man
whose face is the index to his heart, which
is always devoid of^offence. Such a man is
bound to succeed; sucha one will find
friends. Young men be polite.
