G. & Fla. R.

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.

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 that will be built from Southern Ga.

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 • Free F.xcursion Train, to leave Atlanta, on Wed •eeday morning August 25th.

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.
