PAY THE PENSIONS IN LUriP. After a careful examination of the acts of the last general as sembly of the state of Georgia, I begin to think, what did they do? This question might be very readily answered, ;if I were to denominate the entire body with a few exceptions, that they were a set of speculators, nothing more or less. . When you consider their acts most of our reasonable citizens will be compelled to agree that a majority of them were specula tors in the simplest and truest meaning of the word,. Our Confederate soldiers —the men whom every citizen should honor for their brave deeds and hardships—have been by this body of would-be lawmakers, denominated as incapable of at tending to their own business; in other words they seemed to say and did say that this noble class of men needed a guardian and could not manage the insignifi cant amounts paid them as pen sions. All of this small amount should be paid to them at once, then maybe they could have used it to some advantage. The poor widows, most of whom live on their pensions, should have the SIOO. They reduced this to S6O, which is an act I think each one of the law makers should be ashamed of the remainder of their lives. I am in favor of giving every confederate soldier who did act ual service a pension and paying all of it at once, and giving the widows SIOO and paying this in a lump to the Widows. Their pensions are not gifts, but a debt the state owes these noble men; then lets pay them and all of it at once for the year. Let the next general assembly correct their wrongs. Let the people see that men are elect ed this year to represent them in both houses, that will see to it that the above laws be repealed and full laws to this class be en acted.
