» convicts are employed, and
[b examination into the con-
ot the toeafanent of said
convicts, and render a full rejiort to the Gen
eral Assembly an its re-assembling.
‘‘Resolved oth, That each of saiacommittees
be Authorized to employ a clerk fully compe-
* tent to discharge the duties, and that each of
said committees be authorized to send for per
sons and papers, and administer oaths.”
The committee, preparatory to egteriug
upon Its rduties, held a meeting in the city of
Atlaiffh, ’ upon the adjournment of the'last
session of the Legislature, and elected Mr.
John J. Newton clerk of the committee, and
then adjourned, to meet in Milledgeville,
Georgia, on May 20. In pursuance of said
adjournment, the committee met, and on the
21st ot May proceeded to take testimony.
Mr. Jobu Darnell, the Principal Keeper,
was first interrogated, who made several
charges against the lessees, Messrs. Grant,
Alexander A: Co., of cruel treatment to the
convicts in divers ways.
The Principal Keeper seemed to know but
little of the management and treatment of the
convicts of bis own knowledge, he having
spent nearly all of his time in Milledgeville,
where there are but few of the convicts kept,
nearly the entire .number being employ «kt on
the Macon and Augusta and Air-Line Rail
roads.
After taking the testimony of a large number
of witnesses in and around Milledgeville, and
visiting the stockades and places of work on
the Macon and Augusta Railroads, where a
large number of the convicts arc employed,
under the immediate charge of Mr. William
r> D. Grant, one of the lessees, the committee
adjourned to Atlanta, and here took a large
amount of testimony, and from hero visited
the Aie-Line Railroad, where the balance of
the convicts are engaged, under the immediate
supervision of Thomas Alexander, one of the
Utmitment generally, and inspected tboir cloth-
iug, rations, hospital accommodations and
diet, and the places provided for their security
' juid rest at night
Every effort was made to gather all the in
formation that the committee could reason
ably obtain.
In taking testimony, every i*rsoii was
allowed to come before the committee that
wished to give evidenee, except the coiriots
themseh. . and with them conversations were
freely held, as before stated. Many of the
witnesses were discharged eonriots.
It is due to tl*.- l.ssees here to state, that
they wereprevented from confronting the wit
nesses. This probably is the cause of but
very little or no rebutting testimony being
taken.
The lessees tlieuisrlve, slating that their ex-
rliuion from the presence of the witnesses
would present any effort un their port to re
fute statements made against them.
This coons was adopted by the committtee
to prevent intimidation of the witnesses that
were expected to come before it; and consider-
, too, their investigation one more of in-
The committee ore pleased that nearly oil
| these coses of trinity complained of occurred
■era! mothes ago, when the present system
I was new, and the proper management yet to
be learned.
At this time there seems to be a great im
provement upon the management and treat
ment of the prisoners. And we hope that, for
the fntnre, at least until the expiration of the
contract with Grant, Alexander <fc Co., by a
proper discharge of the duties of the principal
keeper of the Penitentiary, that mnch of the
irregnlarities heretofore complained of will be
obviated.
The Principal Keeper min plains of a want
of means to obtain proper and correct infor
mation of the nnmbcr of convicts and length
of sentences; soys that the convicts ore car
ried directly to the railroads upon which they
are employed, with the exemplification papers
from the ooantieg from which tl.
and that it occasionally occurs that he doe*
not get these papers for some considerable
time afterw ards, and may, in some instances,
never get then), all of which, wo think, con
lie remedied by the Principal Keeper requir
ing the lessees to furnish him immediately
npon the arrival of a convict, with the exem
plilie.ition papers, and to require the lessees fa
make to him a monthly report, giving the
nano s of all convicts then in their employ,
and the names of all those that died, dr were
discharg' d, or cacaped, daring the month.
The committee found a discrepancy in the
report of the Principal Keeper, and the reports
of the lessees, of the number of convicts now
on baud. The Principal Keeper's book
showed fonr hundred and ninety-six (496.)
whilo tho lessees oply report three hundred
and uiglity (380) convicts, iu detail, as fol-
White males :....; 50
White females. 1
Colored males Jk 304
Colored females. ..^KSH ■ 16
Total, June4, 1870... 380
This number is almost daily changing, by
new convicts coming in, by discharges, deaths,
escapes, etc.
The boon of labor that the convicts are re
quired to perform are stipulated in the con
tract by the State and the lessees, as follows:
From November to April, ten honrs; and
from April to November twelve hoars. The
lessees construe this to mean the whole num
ber of hours bent stated,' shall he consumed in
actual labor by the convicts; the time of go
ing to and from tho plaoes of labor is not eon
siilercd as a portion of the specified time.
The prisoner* are required to wash their
and put on clean clothes every Son
e also investigated, from gen
eral rumor, some charges of conversion of
public property by former officers of the Pen
lieutiarr, and find that a lot ot iron waa taken
from the Penitentiary and sold by O. IL
Walton, former Principal Keeper, for the
sum of nine hundred dollars, of which
only five hundred dollars has been re
turned to the State. Also other articles
of property, taken and now being
used by parties, and no amount paid
to the State for tho some. Also
in tho purchase and sale of other
Articles, wo find larger prices chsrged the Stato
than the articles cost, oud smaller prices
charged for articles sold, especially to officers
of the Penitentiary, than the cost of said arti-
o)as to tho State; for tho frill particulars ofl
which we respectfully refer you to tho accom
panying testimony.
The testimony is extensive ami conflicting,
aud much of it K and should, bo considered
with mnch allowance, as there are many rea-l
aona why imaginations are so often construed,
encouraged aud cultivated, until they seem to
become'mets. And especially in esses like
theirs, w ben it is so easy for passion, interest,
insliee and revenge to creep in, with all their
biasing influences, upon the judgment and
action of man. ...
Tho committee, however, after considering
the matter in all it* phases, think they are
sustained iu reporting as follows:
That the general condition of the prisoners
is good, their personal appearance supports,
very strongly, this conelmnon.
Their clothing is comfortable, with sufficient
changes.

them. Of their medical treatment the comrnit-
tec had but little means of adjudging; though
from what information we derived, wo are of
the opinion that it may answer the purpose.
The stockades, or quarters, are, in the opin
ion of the committee, too small for the number
of pn~ met - u -a.dlv required to sleep in them,
especially in warm weather.
no Lours allowed them for sleep are, in
some cases, iusuftreientduring the short nights.
The calling of the cooks from among those
tlist labor hanl, at a very early hour in the
morning, necessarily aispsm all the balance.
4n,| the committee could l.ar.iK ..
scientions reprimand not to mention and on-1
deavor to correct some practices that ore had
by the lassecs, and others tolerated among the
convicts on the Sabliath.
Those that are had by the lessons are diller-
eut kinds of labor than the can iets aiv lured
to do on "the Sabbath day- Those that are
dom lave an opportunity to wash their hands
and faces in the morning.
The committee, having thus given a synop
sis of its doing and findings, would most re
spectfully recommend to the General Assem
bly the adoption of a resolution directing his
Excellency, the Governor, to instruct the
Principal Keeper of tho Penitentiary to require
of the lessees prompt tranmittals to him of all
exemplification papers of convicts, os they ore
received by them; also, to make to him
monthly reports, stating the names of all con
victs in their charge; the names of all con
victs who died, escaped, or were pardoned, or
discharged during the post month; also, to
instruct the Principal Keeper to visit places
occasionally where the oonvicts arc kept, and
to inspect tho prisoners and verify these
monthly reports, and to require the leasees to
abate the causes of complaint referred to in
this report, os follows:
That all labor on tho Sabbath day, by the
convicts, except such as is absolutely neots-
was not clear as to the provision, but bo knew
that there was no moneys and a want of funds.
Mr. RICH stated that there was no immedi
ate demand fur this money, and that there
were reports of certain committees which
would dear up the matter of loaning the
m.viey at a low rate per cent., Ac.
ilr. HETHUXE advocated the resolution,
saying that the money could be returned to
the fnmL
ilr. PORTER differed from Mr. Betliuue
and hoped that the money in question would
not be touched for other purposes.
Mr. DUNCAN spoke in favor of the rssolu-
tii .ii.
Mr. LANK, of Brooks, was opposed to auv
hasty action in financial matters, and was op
posed to adopting the resolution, and would
prefer that it should be referred to a Commit
tee.
Mr. LEE, of Newton, said that the Shite
needed money and had some for schools, but
had no schools. He moved to postpono the
consideration of tho question nntil to-morrow.
Mr. SCOTT read two clanscs from the Con-
stitntion in reference to the poll tox, tax on
shows, liquors, Ac.
A message from the Senate was received an
nouncing that the general appropriation act
was continued by that body, in which they
asked tho concurrence of the House.
Mr. SCOTT said that the poll tax was levied
for educational purposes and cannot be used
for any other purposes, also that there was a
great cry throngbont the State for the appli
cation of this very fund for the education of
the youth of this State.
Mr. DUNCAN stated that the object of the
resolution was only to borrow tho money from
the educational fund, and if the State nsed it,
she is liable for its repayment—that it was a
question of economy. Sir. DUNCAN at the
conclusion of his remark* called the previous
question. Tho motion to put the resolution
off until to-morrow was lost
resolution of indefinite postponement
prevailed.
A motion was made and carried to take up
the Senate resolution. The qnestiou was
put and a call mado for the yeas and nnys,

The celebration at Woodstock, Connecticut,
on tho Fourth was o grand affair. Gen.
Grant and a number of distinguished visitors
were present. After Governor Woodford’s
speech, tho Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was in
troduced to the audience. Mr. Beecher
said:
It was arranged that Governor Woodford
should make Uio main speech upon this occa
sion. I was expected to do something sup
plementary. hut when it wss understood that
Gen. Butler waa coming up 1-ero, Governor
Woodiord and I put om heads together and
concluded that we should put the burden of
the speaking on him [laughter,] and wo linvo
conveyed to him this information, and he has
prepared himself accordingly. [Great laugh
ter.] He laughs himself as if to torn away the
force of his remarks, but he will not dare si
that on Saturday last he left New York wil
us, and, after learning this fact, he sheered off
home to make his preparation over Sunday:
[Laughter.] I have no doubt it will answer
the expectation of all assembled here on this
occasion.
Fellow-citizens, I am sorry for yon; but
then is one other party that suffers more, and
that is he who is about to speak to you. We
are all miserable together this afternoon.
[Laughter.] We an gathered together upon
onr annual patriotic boasting day; we tell what
great men our fathers were, and, ns like begets
like, we elegantly leave it to be inferred what
soul onr Cithers had. [Great laughter.] Wo

to bring suit for the same. Also, that the Gov

settled all that long ago, and the only good of
sorb rehearsal on this occasion is to bear ft
read by a good voice. As • historical docu
ment it is interesting. I expected to hear,and
was not disappointed, some allusion made to
the greet conflict which has recently been con
cluded. After all, the fighting was tho least
port of that business.
Although Gen. Grant is here present, aching
to make a speech to you on the matter [great
laughter], I have no doubt bo thinks there
was some fighting. Yet, after all, measure it
ns mnch as yon please, make the diameter co
equal with that of the earth's, and then docblo
it, and it was the least part of all that was
done in that great four years that elapsed; for
while we were fighting, this country was ena
bled to enfold an example, and to make a de
monstration of government which ft never
made before, and coold not have been made
except under some such pressure as that
Any yacht will stand weather when it is moor-

There arc two governments in the world,
the imperial and tho democratic—everything
between them being bastard. It is an experi-
t. I would not say that republicanism
not the best form of government in the
world, but it is the one that suits the Ameri
can people, and I will not determine whether it
would not be a better form of government for
monarchies than that they hold. When
spoke at London, in Exeter Hall,
1863, on this subject, several Americans
nudged me and said: “Explain bow it is
liberty-loving democrats are hobnobbing with
the Russian officers in New York?" Aud my
reply wak: “I have found more sympathy
from mankind for the enslaved, and more lib
erty in the lie/rt of the Russian Gov.
eminent, than I did in the heart of
tho English Government, which had its face
against us in the attempt to emanci
pate the slaves.” [Applause] But
am not here this afternoon to make out a case
for his Majesty the Emperor; I am to speak
this afternoon for your majesties, the Demo
crats. aud I hold that the great conflict through
which we have passed—the great ten years
which is now rounding out and ripening itself
—lias done a great deal more than to show we
could overoome the South. That is the leest
I am glad it has done that; that we were able
to doit I knew we should; we know we
shonld. I knew it for this reason; that this
people are alow, cautious, mighty particular,
and hard to get agoing, but, like a huge heap
of green hickory, when they get agoing noth
ing can put them out; aud so we gained mo
mentum daily as we went on. The South ore
more mereunaL They start quicker, and stop
quicker. They charge we did not boat them,
but wore them out. I take it so, for fighting
means wearing out; and ft docs not mean
merely the bayonet or tbe ballet, for there are
a great many things besides to constitute war.
lint tbe great point is this: They werewbip-
ped and tho Government was saved, and, the
great line of longitude that God put round
about the North and South to hold them to
gether waa not snapped, and it will be one
country unless we betray those principles on
which nnitv depends. Of tho few things
which liave been demonstrated by this con
flict, one is that democratic government can
contain all those great functions which have
been supposed to be peculiarly the property of
strong governments. If there be one thing
that a strong government boasts of, that is law
and the execution of law; for it mnst maintain
order in the community. I point out the ex
ample of the States of tho North; to more
than twenty millions of people convulsed with
civil war, and who devoted themselves to the
straggle of fivo years’ duration; and I point
tho world to tho example of the nation residing
in peace, maintaining tbe structure of society,
carrying on the mechanical arts, carrying for
ward education, and enlarging and developing
benevolent operations. There never was i
time when not only the unanimity of the Gov
eminent was saved during such an intestine
convulsion, but when so many debts were paid,
when so many colleges founded new profes
sorships, and so many shops were established
for internal industry. More than tlrnt, it has
shown strength favorable to armies. It was
said that a republic might hr - ■ —
but it could not have a standing army, or ex
pect to excel as a military' power. They are
huge and strong, but their strength is bo dis
tributed that it cannot be concentrated. IVar
means concentration of power, nnd, therefore,
this republic could not b9 a warlike nation.
I refer you to any nntion on the face of the
globe, no matter how rich or extensive, who
could in so short n time muster a million of
soldiers as the North did, and nearly tho same
nuuibcrra the South. When the people thus
determine their laws they get them; when they
determine their policy they carry it out, aud
when the people say war, there is no other
government on the earth tike a freo popular
govt rnment to make an army, if you have the
officers prepared. God forbid that old West
Point should go down—that is your standing
army. Put West Point down and you either
become feeble or else you are obliged to enlist
twenty thousand men to uphold the Govern
ment.' Educate officers and you can dispense
with the army, for ft takes but a tittle time to
discipline the men aud put them into perfect
organization. Educate the officers, or you
must substitute for them a standing army.
They are cheap too. There la nobody of men
loss wartiko than military officers [laughter);
therefore we ore not in danger from them. I
set oat to malm that sober, bat I could not re
sist the temptation, though I do assure you I
had not McClellan in my thoughts. [Great
Laughter.]
We have raised a million and a halt of men,
and never was an army better served, better
clothed and handled and better organized, jnst
so soon as they had learned to adapt their mili
tary education to the pattern of the magnitude
of this continent And three or fonr years
of such fighting as they experienced I hope
never will again be seen in this land. The
conflict that has been settled could not be
avoided. But methinks, there has been
enough of bloodshed, and that the sacrifice
made shonld stand for ages before God. Well
it was predicted loudly that just as soon as our
army became disbanded there would be no
earthly power to restrain the ambitions officers
nnd that there would be no peace from the
disbanded soldiers who came home with the
habits of the camp. As near as I can observe,
it is certain that the camp spoiled a good
many boys, and it is just os certain that tbe
campaavedas many others. A great many
went into tho war good, and broke down un
der temptation and became bad, and came
home sorrows to their friends; bat it is jnst as
true that there were hundreds and thousands
of lame-limbed, purposeless boys, who went
into that camp—their patriotism became fired
even to their fingers’ ends—and they came
home citizens, of whom we should feel proud.
And ax to Urn demoralization of the army,
the snow that melts on the hillsides fails not to
leave a freshet; nor is ft possible lor the storm
which bursts over the mountains not to up
turn bonks and undermine some trees; bnt
you are witnesses that in the disbandment of
this army, in no city or county or town in
these States was any complaint made that any
ono suffered by the incursion, or by the mis
conduct of our soldiers. [Cheer.] It is a tes
timony I desire to have borne over the world,
that a iailtion of *■«**«■ soldiers went back
to the farm and shop, and no order of society,
and not one law of the community tarnished
by their return. It is a testimony they de
serve. It is a testimony to the institutions
under which they have had their training. It
is said that a Republican government could
never pay great debts. The bonds of such a
government could never be negotiated, and
the people would not pay them if they did
not tike- to be taxed. Weti, I will admit that
if yon had studied, and got the devil to help
you (and he is a good stndcnt,) you could not,
have brought to bear on this American peo
ple a temptation that would be more trying.—
This Government was encumbered witli a debt
of three thousand millions of dollars, and on
its effort to repay that debt, I looked with in
terest. I prophesied it would pay it. I havo
r things, and let me say, that
oneehalf of me is os good a prophet as yon
could find, and if yon could bring up the oth
er half, I would be better satisfied with my-

Government, and I had a personal interest in
its fulfillment
And bow is it now? -Ido not only declare
that we have proved ourselves a great people,
but aver, take it man for man, that there is
not such a wealth producing population on the
globe as tbe American people Wo make
more money per year than any other people
on the,globe, and it will be joyful tiding-.to
most of yon when I say we shall continue lo
qtnraer. vi u nave me ami tn
ktoit, and when tide question wav
issue between tbe great political parties,'and
when every inducement was held out to repu
diate it, ibis people, with one voice, said the
debt shall be paid, principal and interest to
ths utmost farthing. [Applsse-l It is tbe
worst possible thing for a nation to have the
reputation of dishonesty. It does not pay a
nation, like onrs, that wants money to built tip
a continent; and its reputation is dearer to it
than that of the merchant. No people van
brer to lose their reputation, and we less than
any other, who want money ns a loan. It is
onr plow, our saw, and oar locomotive, aud
wa cannot afford to lose the reputation of
honesty. We have it, and we shall keep ft.
We have refused to repudiate our just obli
gations, expressed or implied, nnd we have re
ceived the benefit of our integrity and honesty.
[Applause. ] I am thankful for that expression
of your approbation, bnt is not what I ex
pected. I expected to see yon go wild. There
Ls another matter which I think has been de
by this conflict, and that is, that
this nation is a peaceful nation as well as a
warlike one. Tho capacity of war is in us,

cheerful compliance. Acknowledgement are

j to infringe on the liberty of any
other or to circumscribe its freedom. God has
given us enough, in all conscience. We have
more than we con attend to, and more than we
can give away. We want no more territory;
we want to disturb no nation in their territory;
we want the world to understand that we are
at peace with Mexico and with Central America
and the West India Islands. I am at peace
with Cuba, and I wish the Cubans would lick
out those Spaniards. [Applause.] I would
willingly do everything I could without violat
ing the proper neighborhood of nations to at
tain. that end.
General Grant and I feel about alike on that
subject. He would like to see that thing
settled in the right way, bnt we don’t see how
hands are to get into it. We want the world
to understand this is no nation of freebooters.
Filibustering V»ft« hail its Tnillftnnium. We say
to England, which was disturbed at our mag
nitude, and wished to see us cut in two, and
to France, who held the babo in one hand
while England raised the sword to sever its
head from its body, America wants no war.
She will tolerate no foreign soldier on her
soil, and she will put no soldiers on theirs.
Peace for them—peace for us; for we hold that
we have advanced in the life of nations to the
period in which wo are to share the higher
grades of civilization with the nations of the
earth. Let us educate tho people, preserve
the liberty of the people, consistently with the
rights, one of the other; give fall toleration in
religion, give boundless freedom to commerce,
freedom of thought, of sentiment, freedom of
belief, freedom of trade, freedom everywhere,
and that is abundantly sufficient for the wants
of the world.
I see a man carping tbero (pointing to a
man in the crowd), and it puts me in peril.
I will shut up. If I linger any longer I shall
give the untruth to what I said in the begin
ning about Gen. Butler, and I know already
by advance that he is getting impatient at this
long speech of mine; and, therefore, proud as
I am to be associated with Gen. Bntler on this
platform, and joyful as I should be to stand
on *h*t platform he one day expects to reach.
[Laughter.] I do not think it is lair for me,
os I have got a profession already and have
got along pretty well in life, to stand in his
way. I want him to have a lair hearing and a
good chance, and I will stop now, although
the most eloquent port of my speech was that
which was yet to come. [Great cheering.]

Oftice of the Ga. Agricultural Society, )
Atlanta, Ga., July 9, 1870. )
1st The Secretary requests the City Dailies
and the Pres3 of the Stato to publish this card,
giving notice that delegates to the Convention
of the 16th of August next, that to insure them
selves free passes both ways on tho railroads
mnst send their returns to this office as early
as possible.

able to request the gratuitous insertion of this
Card in all the papers of the State. The object
of the society and tho Convention being to
cherish and advauce the cultivation and the
love of the cultivation of the soil by which all,
press and people live, gives significance and
importance to every item of intelligence con
nected with it. This constitutes tho claim for
militia men, I the favor asked. Full confidence is felt in a
It iaji tonic and will strengthten you. Re

-The BIoo«I iu Summer.—Tlie dete
riorates in hot weather. Profuse perspiration de
prives it of a portion of its nourishing and reproduc
tive properties. Consequently, in summer, the flesh
loses, in some degree, its firmness, the muscles lack
their usual elasticity and vigor, and tho weight of tbe
body diminishes. These are clear indications that the
ordinary supply of the life-sustaining principle s“ ‘
edhjr the food we eat, is not sufficient to meet the re
quirements of the system under a high temperature.
There is another reason for this, besides the direct in
fluence of the heat, viz: tne loss of appetite and the
weakening of the digestive powers which it occasions.
Under these circumstances a wholesome invigorant is
evidently needed, and the best and safest is Hostet
ler’s Stomach Bitters. This admirable vegetable tonic
1 alterative, acta favorably npon the system in sev-
cirJ ways. It increases tho appetite and facilitates di-
gtstioo, thereby inclining the stomach to receive and
esaUing it to assimilate a dne amount of nourish
ment. It also tones the relaxed secretive organa and
ti/obowels. Under its operation the process of emaci
ation, occasioned by the drain through the pores, is
ai rented, the whole frsmo refreshed and invigorated,
aud the spirits exhilarated. The dyspeptic, the bili
ous, the nervous, the debilitated, scarcely need to be
told it is precisely the stimulant and corrective
they ought to take at this season. Thousands of them
kuow the fact by experience. Nothing in the pharma
copeia (or out of it) will supply its place—lea8t of all
tke trashy local nostrums which some unscrupulous
dealers would be glad, for the benefit of their own
eta, to peddle out in its stead,
