EDITOR : —ln-.your issue orthe ‘l9th which has just. come under my observation, appears an article over the signature of-“ Enquirer-,, which, without openly espousing, inferentially argues in favor of the .policy of repu diating. our State - debt. Such a.’ thought is repugnant to the impulses of every honest heart. It is true the close of the war finds our citizens un expectedly stripped of much the larg er part of their productive capital.— As individuals, many are penniless—* all reduced in their pecuniary'circum stances. This, however, is not true of the State to the same extent. A large amount of material on which revenue was raised has changed’ its name, but. does not cease to exist. It may be freely admitted that tigs change has injuriously affected almost every other -source of revenue, Pet I cannot* be lieve that with wise legislation respec ting the proper subjects of taxation, and judicious management of public property-the State of Georgia will fail ‘..to raise a sufficient amount both for an icconomical administration of her af* ‘fairs and the gradual reduction of her indebtedness. . The task may be a lit- j tie hard. The burtheh onerous ; but .what so heavy to an honorable mind as a sense of lost integrity —a reputa-. tion blasted by wilful repudiation of* honest obligations. During the period of uncertainty through which we have just passed, our citizens, reposing con fidence in the good faith of the State, eagerly sought investment in her se curities trusting that whencesoever else disappointment might m, m the honor of the State would _ ■ un sullied* Shall this fills mericc b requited by an act bri laater injury upon many, afid v* ; pro f bium on all collectively-- v: a i honorable —dishonest- condehirfed by the disinterested ami. legalized onl} by irresponsible power* How lew will State credit be sunk if those fori ign- , ors wfio canaic So our assistance in the time of financial need, 4 are made to suffer for their good Opinion of Us*3-- { How cheaply will State char act or be i estimated, if th - “ Empire State of the !

Be careful of.your words as well as your thoughts. If you can control the. tongue that no improper words are pronounced, by it, -you will soon be able, also, to control the mind,-.and save that from corruption. Youexidi j guish the-fire by smothering it, .or by preventing bad thoughts bursting out in language. • Never utter a word anywhere which you would, be asham- ■ ed to speak in the presence of tbe most refined female, or the most reli gious man.
