The following is the report cf the
State Treasurer made in response to
a call from the House of Representa
tives for information regarding the t
amount of State bonds Which had
been issued since his induction into
office—for what they had been sold,
and at what rates; what amounts had
been hypothecated, &c., &c. The re
port has been referred to the Finance

REPORT.
Treasurer's Office, )
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21st, 1868. j
To the Honorable House of Represent
atives of the State of Georgia:
In response to vour resolution of
yesterday, r.a follows: “ Resolved,
That K. L. Angier, Treasurer of this
State be, and lie is hereby requested
to communicate to this house, as early
as practicable, what amount of State
loads have been issued since became
into office, and whether or not the
came have been sold or hypothecated
for money borrowed ; what amount
of bends have been sold, and at what
price; what amount lias been hypoth
♦•catfd, and where; how much money
las been borrowed by the State on
hypothecated bonds; how much
money has been drawn upon the faith
of the hopothocated bonds of this
State, and by whom ; what portion
of the amount so drawn has been re
ceived into the Treasury of this State;
w’ at is the state of the. accounts at
this tune with the State of Georgia,
nr.d the party or parties with whom
the State bonds have been hypothe
ented ; giving a lull and clear state
ment of all matters in this resolution
referred to,” I have the honor to re-
I*>rt that on the 21st day of Septem
ber, 1868, his Excellency Governor
Bullock and myself delivered to the
agent of the Fourth National Bank
of Now 1 ork a contract to place in
their possession one hundred and fif.y
thousand dollars (8150,000) of the
seven per cent, bonds of the State, on
or before the loth day of November,
18G8, upon which contracts as col
lateral security said bank advanced
us one hundred thousand dollars
18100,000 > cash. On the 6th of Oc
tober, 1868, similar contracts to the
amount of sixty thousand dollars
($60,000) were executed and deliver
ed to the agent of the same bank,
upon which security said bank ad
vanced us forty thousand dollars
( $40,000) cash.
On the 17th day of November,
1868, there was prepared and for
warded from this office, six hundred
thousand dollars ($600,000,) new
reven per cent, bonds of the State of
Georgia, dated November Ist, 1868,
signed Rufus B. Bullock, Governor,
David G. Getting, Secretary of State,
coupons signed by the Treasurer, to
the Fourth National Bank, to carry
out the terms of the contracts made
to them September 21st 'and October
Cth, 1868, and to be hypothecated for
f irther sums of money, to meet the
interest on the public debt fallen and
failing due, and for other purposes.
November 9th, 1868, we received
by express $25,000 as an advance on
raid bonds, November 12th, $25,000
iiy express, November 20th, $25,000
on draft of Governor Bullock, De
cember 7th, $25,000 by express, De
cember 12th. $25,000 by express, and
December 26th, $25,000 by express,
all of which amounts were received
into the Treasury.
On the 23d day of December, 1868,
supposing a considerable amount of
the new seven per cent, bonds bad
been sold, and desiring to make a re
port of them in my annual report to
the Governor, I wrote to the Fourth
National Bai.k, asking them to advise
me what amount of the new seven
per cent, bonds bad hem sold, and at
what price, and at the same time to
send iue-a complete statement or ac
count current of the State with the
bank. On the 9th instant I received
a full statement of the account, and
a letter, in which was stated :
“None of the new seven per cent,
bonds have been sold, it being consid
ered unadvisable to do so, in consul
tation lietween our President and
Gov. Bullock, it being considered by
many that the legislature authoriz
ing them was an illegal body.”
Besides creating themselves in the
account current with the various
amounts named above, they also took
c redit for a large amount, which I
did not know anything about, and
which had never reached the Treas
ury. Not knowing how to account
for these credits, I immediately start
ed, on the eve of the 10th inst., for
New York, to get a full explanation
of them. Having arrived in New
York, proceeded to the Fourth Na
tional Bank, and found that Gov.
Bullock had drawn drafts to the
amount of thirty-five thousand dollars
( $35,000.) (Copy of the drafts I
give below) which amount never has
been paid in nor reported to the Treas
ury by Governor Bullock.

to meet the interest on the public

N. L. Anther,
Treasurer.
COME ON WITH YOUR WORK
ERS AITD VOTERS.
The New York Tribune has elab
orated a plan for colonizing the
South with Northern “workers and
voters,” as follows:
“The first society,” it says, “shall
comprise the New England States,
and apply itself especially to settling
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
The second may include New York
New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
and operate in colonizing Virginia
and North Carolina. The third may
comprise Ohio, Michigan, Indiana
and Illinois, and should work in set
tling Alabama, Mississippi and Louis-*
ana. The fourth society should la
bor in Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa
and Kansas, for the settlement of
Arkansas and Texas. The purpose
of these organizations would be to
send trusted agents into the South to
ascertain the opportunities for busi
ness which are now open there by
reason of the low prices of land and
the abundance of labor.
“Much of the land, it is said, can
now be had for a dollar or two an
aero, which would have sold for twen
ty dollars before the rebellion, and
will be worth that price again as soon
as industry shall revive and the
country become productive and peace
ful. The failure of many of the ef
forts to turn emigration southward,
which were made immediately after
the close of the war, was due to the
delay in settling the reconstruction
question ; to the facts that settlers
scattered too much, not aiming to
keep near enough together to protect
each other; that they bought prop
erty when it was from three to ten'
times as high as it is now, running in
debt for most it, and losing all with
.its decline; planted cotton on a fall
ing market, without calculating on
the fall; were inexperienced in South
ern industry, and were set back by
two successive unusually bad seasons.
Reconstruction, however, is now set
tled. Property has fallen to its low
est possible point. Gen. Grant will
soon give security and peace to all.
Emigrants going in communities will
avoid the risks to person and capital
incurred by those going alone. * *
* * “We i»ed 3,000 Northern
voters and workers in Florida, 4,000
in South Carolina. 5,000 each in
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and
LouEiaua, and 10,000 each in Virgin
ia, North Carolina. Georgia and
Texas. If an emigration like that
which pours westward could flow in
to the South for one year only, the
Southern States would he delivered
from the nightmare which now op
presses their politics and industry.
Who will organize and undertake the
wv.rk? It must he begun from mo
tives of patrotiam as well as profit;
must be actually superintended by
men of influence, ability and vigor,
and must be carried through with an
industry and energy like that with,
which we carried on the great strug
gle for the Union itself. Are the
right men and women ready to voir n
teer for the work ? If they are, it
can and will he done.”
This scheme is not original with
the Tribune, hut has been adopted in
the colonization and settlement of ail
barbarous countries from the days of
Nimrod down to the present time. It
was adopted by the cavaliers in Vir
ginia and Maryland, the Puritans in
New England, the Dutch in New
York and the Quakers in Pennsylva
nia.
The Tribune, profoundly impressed
with the idea that his hands of
Northern colonists in the South will
be very much in the condition of
those pioneers of civilization among
the “savages of North-Ameriea,” has
taken a useful hint from history and
insists that they shall come down up
on us in ample force for self-protec
tion against “Southern barbarism,”
as Sumner terms it. They will march
down upon us in small squads of five
or ten thousand at a pop, and proba
bly begin by stockading their houses,
and mounting guard nightly to keep
off the incursions of the Ku-Klux
and such other lawless barbarians as
are supposed to infest the country,
and will continue dangerous, until
Gen. Grant shall he able to give
“security and peace.”
The work of colonization must he
carried on like the war —with great
“energy and vigor,” and by men of
“influence and ability.” It combines
the two ideas of a pecuniary specula
tion and a grand moral, intellectual
and political crusade to deliver the
Southern people from themselves, and
bring them to tlie light and knov.l
-elg of civilization and true holiness.
It is a grand combination of Sharpe’s
rifles, tracts, pistols, improved imple
ments stated preaching and patent
apple-parers and sausage machines.
It is a creed of doctrine and an
ounce of lead to enforce it. In short,
it is a project to conquer a peace by
armed occupation.
Well, come on, nevertheless; come
as you will, single or by thousand —
with gun, rifle and pistol or with
horse and plough. Come and show
us how much wiser and better you
are. Ilow much more industrious,
thrifty, just, humane and merciful.—
Ilow much better you can preach
and practice. What you can teach
us, and what you will be compelled
to learn. Both will perhaps he the
wiser by the ndventure, and it will
wind up, not in turning the South in
to a New England, hut in turning so
much of New England into Southern
men. We shall gam some knowledge,
perhaps, and you will lose much con
ceit of fancied superiority.
The door is wide open —the room
ample. The Tribune says there is a
growing disposition among the peo
ple of the North to seek a milder
clime, and here they will have it. —
The Savannah News advises them to
leave behind some of their New Eng
land ideas and prejudices; but no ;
let them bring all their belongings.
Whatever is good in their “ideas”
will not hurt, and their prejudices
will molify by association, when they
see that the Southern people are
neither savages nor fools, but fully
up to the average of mankind in all
the proper attributes of humanity.—
Macon TeUcgraph.
Southern Recuperation.— The
New York Times seems to be waking
up to the fact that the South, notwith
standing every effort that has been
made “to oppress and grind lier,” is
recuperating. Upon the fact, it thus
discourses:
“Ever since the close of the war, a
few cents an acre were all that could
be obtained for choice tracts in Ala
bama, Georgia, and adjoining States,
and even at these prices buyers were
far between. This condition exists
no longer. A general advance in
value has taken place. Lands which
six months ago might have been had
in large quantities for a dollar an
acre, arc now held at five, and the
prospect is a steady advance toward
the real value, which is as much be
yond the present figures as they are
beyond those of a recent period.—
►South Carolina fully shares the bene
fit of the change. The rapidity and
extent of it—our Charleston corres
pondent wr tes —can only be fully
appreciated by those who have had
opportunities for observing and con
trasting the present condition of all
classes of the Southern people with
their condition twelve months ago.”
A Startling Prediction. —Pro-
fessor Leonidas, an astrologist of
Indianopolis, publishes the following
prediction:
I observe hv the planets that a
dreadful plague will commence in
Russia, originating from silks brought
over from Cairo, Egypt, and Turkey.
It will extend across the Baltic Sea,
and will desolate Germany, cause im
mense mortality in England and then
spread to the United States. This
dreadful epidemic will spot the peo
ple like leopards, and turn their flesh
to a purple black. The pestilence will
carry off such an amount of mortals
that there will not he enough left to
bury the dead, or to give them a
Christian burial. The streets of our
cities, towns and villages will be
swarmed with the dead and dying.
The groans and yells of horror will
fill every one with consternation. On
all sides confusion will abound. The
death knell will cease ro toll as the
malady rages in fury. The stench of
the dead will become so com mon that
the survivors will not heed it.
A soldier named Clayton who lives
in Person county, N. C., was released
from prison at the close of the war
and landed in Philadelphia ragged
and without a cent of money. He
met up with an old bachlor gentle
man, who, taking a fancy to him,
sent him to an old maiden sister, liv
ing in the country, to he employed by
her on her farm. He worked all
that year for the old lady and saved
money enough to bring him home.
The other day Clayton received no
tice of the old lady’s death, and that
she left him the whole of her estate.
The estate contains about 160 acres
of good land —lies 46 miles from
Philadelphia —is well stocked, and
has all the conveniences of a model
farm.
When an acquaintance says, “llow
are you ?” and rushes by you with
out waiting for a reply, I wouldn’t if
I was in your place, folloyv him more
than a mile to tell him I was yvell.
A dandy, strutting around a tav
ern took up a green pair of spectacles
which lay on the table, put them on
his nose, and turning to the looking
glass said : “Landlord how do these
become me? Don’t you think they
improve my looks.” “I think they
do,” replied the landlord, “they hide
a part of your face.”

but he failed. lie neither could hire

“ Wanted —an honest boy to make a

“I’m not myself at all to-day,” said
a bore to the artist Inman. “No

“whoever else you may be, you are
