THE STATE CONVICT LEASE.
We-hope that our representatives in
the Legislature will not permit their
valuab’e time to be taken up with a
needless ami idle discussion about what
iftust be done with our convicts. There
are always a few fanatics or politicians
in that tody, who, at every ses-
sesion, expend thousands of dollars of
the people’s money In debating a mat
ter that will not be in order for more
than a decade of years yet to come.
The present convict lease ei Georgia
does not expire till the year 1900. The
good name and honor of tire State are
pledget! in this matter, and she is just
as firmly bound to abide by her trade
with the lessees as she is to pay her
honestly contracted obligations. The
officers appointed hy the Governor to
visit and inspect the various camps re
port that the law is carried out to the
letter, and that our convicts are well
fed, well clad and in a remarkably heal
thy condition.'; This is all that any hu
manitarian can ask. These convicts
are all desperate and lawless characters,
and it is due the honest people of our
State that some punishment, tempered
with mercy, be inflicted upon them.
For the S&ite now to break this sol
emn contract will be acting in bad faith.
The lessees would be entitled to and re
ceive damages not only for the loss of | , d !!rff 1 0f f f . 0 . rfei . tU1 ; e ... { l U( !

chartered under the law s of Geor-
a p u ty to such ^sale, contract or
agreement, whether buyer or seller,
shall tliereby forfeit its charter.
Sec. 3. But it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, That for a violation
of the provision of Section 1 of this Act
by any Railroad Company or Coporation
not chartered under the laws of Georgia,
such Railroad Company, or Coporation
shall no longer have the right, power or
privilege of doing business, or exercising
their franchises in this State, or of hold
ing, owning or controling property
therein, and shall, thereby, forfei any
rights, powers and privileges of franch
ises under teeir charter,* so far *. s they
effect this State. / ,
Sec, 2. Be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, That in case of the
forfeiture of any charter of any Railroad
Company or Corporation for a violation
of the provision of this Act,
it shall he lawful "for share or
stockholders, not parties to such viola
tion, to at .once reorganize such Rail
road Company' or Corporation, under
the provisions of their original charter,
aud subject to the provisions of this
Act, without participation in the same
by any parties corisenting to such vio
lation.
Sec, 5. Be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, * That it is hereby
made the duty' of the Railroad Commis
sioners of Georgia to make careful in
quiry and investigation from time to
time, and if at any' time they shall be
come'satisfied that the provisions of
this Act are being violated by' any' Rail
road Company or Corporation, they
shall report the facts to the Atorney-
Gentral, who shall the aeupon, without
delay, institute and prosecute, to a final
judgment or decree, such proceedings
as may be necessary o forfeit the
charters as aforesaid, and to prohibit
foreign Railroad Companies and Cor
porations, chartered elsewhere than in
Georgia,from exercising their-frunciiises
in this State, as hereinbefore provided,
and that such proceedings, when begun,
shall take precedences of all other busi-
ness'in the court, and shall stand for
rial at the first term after the same are
filed.
Sec. 6. Be it enacted By the authority’
aforesaid, That pending the legal pro
ceeding hereinbefore provided for, and,
during the time intervening between the
reorganization hereinbefore provided
for,' it shall be lawful, in the discre
tion of th,e Court having jurisdictiuo of
cur, hut must also be reimbursed for the
stockades they'have erected, and Inin- i ^ ie ca se, to appoint a receiver to take
dreds of other expenses incurred to con- charge of and manage and controll the
fine and guard these convicts
Why, Senator Brown’s betterment
.demand would not be a circumstance
compared with the remuneration that
these convict lessees would justly and
legally colleqt from the State.
The tax-payers of Georgia have no
desire to take upon their already over
laden shouldprs this great burthen and
expense, that a gang'.of murderers,
thieves, incendiaries and other .law
breakers may be removed from a place
where they are no>v properly' cared for
without a dollar’s expense to the State,
that a few fanatics may attempt an ex
peri men t

of the Court.

FEATED BY THE OLIVE BILL.

line on the American continent, giving
us an unbroken schedule, cheap and
rapid transit to every section of the
country, by' which, when the North and
West ship their products to Georgia, our
farmers wjjll return the same cars laden
with the products of our fields, our
mills and our mines. So far from
this great system checking railroad
building in Georgia, you will see a new
impetus given to it, for branch roads,
operated with small host under the
ame management, will soon penetrate
every section of our State. And this
company, too, will see that our lands
are scientifically'tilled, onr idle water
powers utilized, and onr hidden mine
ral wealth wrought into gold. TO sustain
these roads, Georgia must and will be
developed. For our State and people
to prosper means that this great corpo
ration will also prosper proportionately
But this is not all. Direct trade with'
Europe has been the life dream of many*
far-sighted Georgians. Through this
great system we will achieve that mag
nificent end. If this new railroad sys
tem is not interrupted, we have it from
the very liightest authority, that a
steamship line will be speedily put on
between Savannah, and Liverpool. It
is impossible to estimate what such a
line would do for Georgia. It will save
our cotton farmers the toll exacted from
every hale that passes through New
York,.and furnish a ready', profita
ble and convenient market for hundreds
of products now- allowed to rot in out
fields or go to waste.
The passage of the Olive bill, or any
other act calculated to cheek the rail
road system now organizing in onr
State, would be the greatest calamity
that eoulcl befall Georgia. It would set
us back a decade of years at least, and
blight, if not destroy, the most magnifi
cent future that ever dawned upon any
country.
In the name of Georgia—in the name
of right—the name of progress—yes, in
the name of common sense, we beg our
representatives not to destroy these
splendid prospects for enrichingour peo
ple and developing our State, by passing
any such communistic and withering
measure as the Olive bill.

A QUESTION FOR MR.SMITH.
Does not the Olive bill subject the
railroad company to a forfeiture of its
charter, if its stock is owned or held
by another railroad company, without
regard the effect of such holding upon
competition ? In other w ords, accord
ing to the Olive bill is not the company
which is y the “buyer or seller” of stock
with another company, liable to the for
feiture of its charter, even al
though this transaction has
no effeet upoff competition?
Does not the lessening of . competition
relate only to the other contracts and
agreements referred to but not named?
If this is true, where will the G.,C. &
N. stand under the Olive bill? It has
soid a majority of its stock to the Sea
board & Roanoke railroad company.
Did not this question once come be
fore Judge Clark, of the Atlanta eir-
onit in a proceeding in which Air.Smith
was one of the attorneys ? If so, what
did he hold ?

AA'e are glad to see that Gov.Lowery,
of Alississippi, has the determination
and manhood to enforce the law's of his
state. In defiance of his proclamation
anil the greatest vigilance on ther part
of the state officers, a hand of Northern
roughs caine into his territory for the
express purpose of violating the law,
and gave there a brutal exhibition that
they dared not attempt in their own
country. , These sluggers had evidently’
heard so much about theJaxity of our
Southern laws, from Republican politi
cians,’ that they imagined they
could invade our slandered section anil
openly violate its statutes with impuni
ty. But it seems that they ran against
a snag in the person of the gallant Gov
ernor of Alississippi, anil now* begin to
realize the fact that the people of the
South hold the peace anil order of their
country as sacred as does the North.
Had Governor Lowery permitted this
band of roughs and outlaws to escape,
after so openly and defiantly violating
the laws of his state and treating with
contempt his proclamation, he 'would
have not only rendered himself the
laughing stock of the whole country,
hut have done the good name of his state
and the entire South great injustice.
But it is seen that Alississippi’s plucky
executive does not issue proclamations. 1

garded, and he now* has the Boston slug
ger securely in his clutches, even after
all apparent danger of arrest had pass

AA'e trust aud believe that Gov. Low
ery will not permit his game to escape

technicality or by forfeiture of bond.
Sullivan and his gang should, not be*,|
permitted to even give bond for their
sippearance at court, for once they es
cape to their ilen at the “Hub” they
will never again be gotten back upon
Alississippi soil. No; now that Gover
nor Lowery has John Sullivan in his
grasp, let him keep him there, and if it
be necessary*, call a eourt at once to try
him for hisoftense. Let the extent of
the law be meted to this brutal ruffian,
anil permit neither money or legal tal
ent to shield him from the vengeance of
an outraged law and insulted execu
tive.
The eyes of the country are to-day
upon Gov. Lowery. He is the repre
sentative of law and order in the South,
and it is his exalted duty and mission
to prove to the people of the North that
there is such a thing as punishment for
crime 'South of Alason and Dixon’^line;
anil it will be dealt out, too, with an
unsparing hand, to even the “Big ’Un

van anil his fellow roughs that they
cannot make a respectable and law-
abiding Southern state a tlieatr^ for
their brutal exhibitions, which privi

and section. *

HON. SAM BARNETT AND THE STATE
UNIVERSITY,
In AVednesday’s issue of the' Atlanta
Journal there appeared quite a lengthy
paper on the State University'
from Air. Barnett. There
are some suggestions as to the manage
ment of the affairs of the University in
his letter that are sound both in theory
and practice. They commend tlieip-
selves to all Georgians interested in the
State’s educational affairs.
He endorses Judge Reese in his blow'
at the fundamental evil of having an
excess of trustees by saying “There are
many* good and honored men in the
board—too many. The material is
good,but in excess. This is the very
point of points in reform. Fortunate
ly this evil is perfectly* curable. Until
remedied, however, it is organic. It
hinders-progress like a limb outof joint,
or like over loading a r. cer.”
Air. Barnett is eminently correct
here. AATien a body like that of a
University board of trustees becomes
so large as ours has grown, it becomes
unwieldy, the responsibility of-their
position being so widely scattered that
each member really feels but little sense
of any responsibility at aR. They natur
ally forget that they compose an acting
body in behalf of- so great a thing as the
State University. The body is so large
that each member waits and depends
on all, anil the consequence is that their
meetings annually at the college com
meneement amounts to but little more
than social visits to Athens and com
mencement. There, is never more than
half the board present at these com
mencement sessions. The next year a
different half is present , and thus the
hoard goes on doing a little of everv-
1 1 thing and not much of anything—^iever
knowing exactly what they do. Now,
this is a sad state of affairs, and should
be remedied. It can be remedied by re
ducing the number of trustees. The
number of University trustees is nearly
fifty*, and every' reason goes to show
that half of that number would suffice
“The reasons for smaller boards,” say.-
Air. Barnett, “are well understood
In a large body, aside from divided re
sponsibility, cliques grow up—faini 17,
sectarian or local coteries.
Tligse form a perpetual men
ace to any consistent policy. In
times of considerable revival, these
cliques hide tneir heads, but they* s<V6n
reappear. They' are the most permanent
things in the organization. Were the
hoard mere figure heads the number
would be indifferent, but as a working
body*, the number is positively hurt
ful.” 7
The board of trustees often misunder
stand the real functions of a board. If
the board select good teachers, anil a
good chancellor, and commit the affairs
of the college to their hands almost en
tirely, the work will necessarily go on
more satisfactorily anil effectively than
when in the hands of a scattered body*
like the board itself. They' have as good
a faculty here now and as good a chant
cellor as can be found anywhere. They
are qualified by “knowledge—power of
imparting knowledge, and power of
controlling students,” and they surely
know how to manage the college better
than the trustees., If they did not, they
would have no right to their positions,
for their profession is teaching, while
the trustees have varied professions.
Therefore, after the trustees select a
good faculty and chancellor, their best
duty is to remain quiet. They should
control the University, but the faculty
should manage it.
The board of trustees are aided by* the
board of visitors. The two bodies visit
the University at .different periods of
the year; the trustees come during com
mencement, ami the visitors while the
college work is going on. There is no
union of action between the two bodies.
The trustees find but little time during
the busy commencements to attend to
much, work, and the visitors are pre
vented from doing much effective work,
from a lack of authority vested in them.
They' come and investigate the internal
workings of the college, and make are-
port’, with such recommendations as
they’ see fit,'anil that ends it.
“Now,” says Air. Barnett, “would
it not be well to have some gearing, so
to speak, to connect the two bodies—the
board of visitors and the -board of trus
tees ? If one or two trustees were al
ways appointed on the board of visitors
or one or two of the hitter were always
present at the meeting of the trustees,
it would perhaps, make the machinery
work better. In like manner there
should be much conference and inter
communication between the faculty
and trustees. There should, be no jeal
ousies, but mutual conference and co
operation.” •
Air. Barnett continues and says that
another great fundamental evil in the
management of the University is that
students are. passed into the college
without proper qualifications and, says
that this evil has never been remedied.
AVe are glad to correct him, however^
for decided steps were taken one year
ago on this measure and Col. Charbon-
nier, while acting as Chancellor,' saw
that^they were rigorously enforced. A
good many students were sent away*
at the beginning of last session because
they were not sufficiently' advanced in
age anil knowledge to enter. The col
lege has prospered, too, with this law
enforced. >
As to the reform needed in reducing
the number of trustees, Air. Barnett en
dorses Judge Reese in the plan of se
lecting one trustee from 'each district
and one agricultural trustee, one alum
ni trustee, one technological, the gov
ernor as one ex officio, and lastly, one
from the state at large, thus making
the board to number fifteen. AVe think
that it would be better to select two
from each district, so as to give the peo
ple a fuller representation and then the
five others as named, thus making the
number twenty-five, instead of fifty as
at present. This, we think would rem
edy all indifference on the part of the
board, and ■flre believe the college would
be better controlled than at, -present
