dorscment, and the load is now
> acidly constructed, over miles
Wing, already in opet without
receiving the State indorsement up
on its bonds.
Under the restricted and conserva
tive system provided for by our pres
ent State Constitution, it is not believ
ed that any serious burdens can be
thrown upon the State Treasury, be
cause of the fact that no indorsements
are given until the extent of road in
dorsed for is in actual operation, and
when so given is for such a limited
amount that the property in any' con
tingency would ho more than sutficent
to secure the Stnto against loss. In
fact, the practical expense, after four
years’ trial, has been such as to fully
justify the wisdom and good policy ol
our system. The Macon and Bruns
wick Hoad has earned and promptly
paid its interest. The South Geor
gia and I‘lorida lload hus made un ul
liance with other responsible companies
whereby the interest on its bonds, to
gether with a fair rate of per cent, to
its stockholders, is secured. The Al
abama and Chattanooga Koad, owing
to its complications in connection with
its larger debts in Alabama, has failed
to meet its interest in January and Ju
ly. The State, however, has prompt
ly met its liability by paying the in
terest on the bonds indorsed by lior,
•and is amply secured by the value of
that portion of tho road lying within
tho State upon which her indorsement
rests. .Large gangs of hands are work
ing upon the rouds not yet completed,
■and it is believed that they' will bo
•completed bolero tie hist day of Oc
tober next. Tiiat portion of these
roads already eoastruuk-J and in op
eration is reported asdobig a fair bus
iness, and eucli company has prompt
ly paid its interest on boards indorsed.
I lurve lierukiibie aiefened, in this
communication, to tho fact that the
v alue* of the return of taxable proper
ty has increased .nearly fourteen mil
lions in 1869,.and .nearly twenty-two
miiJiojis in IKTtt, as compared with
tho years|jmeviouf,.and, upon annulyz
iiig this fact,\we.find that tho increase
Auxj been directly stimulated by the
true# of railroad vrtl deli have been put
in operation by treason of the assist
ance given them through the State’s
indorsement.
It is quite natural that n practical
man should inquire what beuefit rail
mud companies derive from this lim
it*d indorsement by tbo State. But
that inquiry is answered w hen wo io
fJcct tqion tJie fact that a portion of
the money necessary for the construct
ion of these roads must be obtained
from the Northern States or from Eu
vopo, and that neither in the North nor
in Europe would capitalists take the
time or tiouble to inquire as to the
solvency of comparatively unknown
•corporators iu tho South, which might
present themselves offering to sell their
securities; but when these securities
carry with them the guarantee of tho
State of Georgia, for the prompt pny
inent of the interest and the principal
of the securities that uro offered, the
•capitalist, relying upon that indorse
ment, finds it unnecessary to muko
further inquiry, and tho corporations
are thus enabled to make tho’nego
tiations that are necessary for their
success.
Iu other words, the people, having
capital sufficient to subscribe and pay
for an amount of btock necessary to
pay tho cost of construction of the
first section cf their proposed road are
enabled to borrow', upon their bonds
thus indorsed, the money necessary to
pay for half of the cost of tho continu
ation of construction. And when, as
in the ease of the Atlanta & llichmond
Air-line, or the Macon & Augusta
Railroad, their work has progressed
to such an extent as to attract to it
public attention and confidence, they
find themselves able to obtain a great
er credit than the State is permitted
to indorse for, and by rotiring the
bonds bearing tiro State’s indorse
ment, they are enabled to progress
without the assistance which was real
ly neceisary in tho infancy of their en
terprise.
Thrt laws relating to elections are to
be found ill tho Codo of Georgia, sec
tions 1803 to Ji%4, inclusive, -1980,
89811, 4881, 121, 122, 310,1312, 19-10,
and in pamphlet laws, 1870, page 0,

by sections 801 and 802 of tho Code.
Tho into is fixed by the Governor are!
Comptroller General, after the returns
of valuation are received The rate
for last year and this will be, as here
tofore, four-tenths of one per cent.
The amount of salaries of tho State
officials, judiciary, etc., are about tho
same as that paid before tho \>ar, and
under the administration of Governor
Jenkins.
Certain political philosophers find
peculiar relief in assuming that under
the Southern State Constitutions “the
wealth, worth, and intelligence of the
country- is disfranchised, and ns a
consequence that these State govern
ments are controled by strangers, and
hymen without chaiacter; and that
the pauaeea for these fancied ills can
only be found in their continued hyp
ocritical howls fur “universal amnes
ty.” So far as Georgia is concerned,
the facts do not justify the assump
tion. In this State, a constitution was
framed and adopted in 1865, under the
authority of President Johnson’s proc
lamation, which disfranchised ninefy
fivo thorn and male citizens over 21
years <?f age. This was Democratic.
Under the authority- of an act of
Congress a Constitution was framed in
1867 and 1868, by delegates elected
by the people, and ratified by the votes
of a majority of the people, whereby
every male citizen 21 years of age, of
sound mind and not convicted of crime,
is authorized to vote and hold office.
There is not a word or a line in that
Constitution which disfranchises or dis-
Sialiiioe any citizen of this State from
e exercises of any political privilege.
The only restraint ujion the exercise
of political privilege is that found in
the Constitution of the United States,
which prohibits from holding office
persons who had officially sworn to
support the Constitution of tho United
States, and afterwards violated their
oath by engaging in tins rebellion ;
hut this di»quulilication is merely nom
inal, for, so far as Georgia is concern
ed, whenever those who declared tho
reconstruction acts “to bo revolutiona
ry, unconstitutional aud void,” have
defied Congress by electing a gallant
Confederate General ns a representa
tive in Congress, that body have inva
riably removed the disability and seat
ed the member ; on the conti ary, when
I duly elected and eligible llepublican
j members have presented themselves,
I Congress has refused or declined to
j receive them. In this State there is,
, so far as 1 know, net more than a doz
en men in office, (and those of an un
important character,) cither elected by
| the people or appointed by me, who
| were not either natives of the iSouth
or resident citizens here before and
j during tho war.
Tho officers a pointed by the Gov
ernor are three Judges of the Supreme
Court, twenty Judges of the Super or
Courts, one Attorney General, twenty
Solicitors General, State School Com
missioner, Superintendent, Treasurer
and Auditor of the State Railroad, six
tiustcos of tho public institutions, etc.
In this number there was but one
gentleman who was not either anative
of the South or a citizen of Georgia
before and during the war. The one
referred to was eminently fitted for
the position to which he was appointed
and, as u man of w orth’and good char
acter, is not surpassed by any in the
State. The gentlemen appointed who
were natives or old citizens aro men
agaimt whom no ill was ever Fuid
previous to their “accepting the situa
tion,” under the reconstruction acts,
by their “departure” in 1867 ; men |
who would have been universally rec
ognized as lenders of tho “wealth,
worth, and intelligence of tho country
if they had opposed those acts. These
gentlemen possess as much property
and pay as much tnx as persons occu
pying similar positions under thoStato
government ever did. There uro tome
hundreds of officials of less importance
appointed by me, but the sarno rule
will hold good in their case; and 1
tiust that 1 will be excused the appar
ent egotism of saying of myself that 1
was a citizen aud situdidder in Geor
gia long before the war, and up to the
time of my election was actively and
successfully engaged iu business pur
suits. 1 resigned the position of
President of the Macon & Augusta
Railroad Company to accept the office
that I now hold. 1 have n<> political
aspiration or ambition beyond a suc
cessful performance of official duties
during this termofoffico. My personal
comfort and pecuniary interests would
havebeenfgreatly increased had IJnever
consented to participate in the effort
to curry out the Congressional policy
of reconstruction ; but believing our
interests as a people would bo for
warded by acquiescing iu the inevi
table, I have given my best endeavors
in that direction. 1 have no fault to
find, or regrets to express, except that
gentlemen claiming high position in the
Republican party North lack tho mor
al courage to sustain tho results of
their ow u acts. Respectfully,
Rutts 15. BI.LI.OCK,
Governor of Georgia.
ADDENDA.
Tits Excellency lit ft * 11. Buttock:
Govkk.nor : In compliance with the
request of your Excellency, I have
made a thorough examination of tho
Executivo Department, touching the
action of the Department upon the
subject of pardons.
Drier to your inauguration there
was no analytical record kept of cases
of this character ; and the only infor
mation that can bo derived ui the
subject is the copies of orders an
nuunciug pardons, stattered through
the Executive minutes.
Erom July 4, 1808, to July 4, 1871,
a complete record lias been kept,
showing in full tho application, tho
recommendation, and tho Executive
action in each case. Erom this I as
certain the following facts:
There have been, during that term
of three years pardons lor—murder
■II, of which 110 were pardoned before
trial ; murder commuted, 15 ; volun
tary manslaughter, 24; involuntary
manslaughter, 7 ; assault w ith intent I
to murder, SO; burglary in the night
time, 41 ; burglary in tho day time,
11 ; simple larceny, 08 ; larceny from
tho person, 1 ; larceny from tho house
14; larceny after a trust has been del
egated, 5 ; other larcenies, -4 ; assault
and battery, 14; assault, S ; uosuult
with intent to commit rape, 5 ; arson,
5 ; robbery, 8; stubbing 11; cheating, i
,H ; swindling, 4 ; incestuous adultery.
] ; bigamy, 6 ; fornication, 3 ; adulte
ry, 6 ; forgery, 4 ; perjury, 3 ; seduc
tion, 2 ; kidnapping, i; bastardy, 1;
rape, 1; bribery, J • compounding fel
ony, 2; maiplacfice i'l office, 2; aiding
prisoners to escape, 5; toad commis
sioners for neglect of duty, 8; inter
marrying within levitieal degrees of
! affinity, 1 ; misdemeanors, 29 < con
tempt of court, 1.
Upon examinatinn of tho official
record, I liud thnt in many and most
all of the cases for murder, where a
! pardon has been granted before trial,
tho indictments therefor had been
found before the late war, and some
of them during the war, and that jiu-
I tico demanded Executive interposition
in behalf of tho accused, ns in many
instances, some of the most material
witnesses on the part of the defense
have removed beyond the jurisdiction
of the State, and others have died;
while in several other instances the
State, on account of the absence of
some of its most important witnesses,
lias failed to prosecute the cases after
the indictments had been fonnd, and I
cases of that character were in abey
ance on the criminal dockets of the
several eourts for years, postponed
and continued irom term to term,
greatly to the annoyance and detri
ment of the accused party or parties.
In addition to the meritorioua circum
struiccp attending such cases, pardons
of that character liavo generally been [
most earnestly recommended by tho.
Senators and Representatives of the!
districts and counties, together with
tho most highly respectable citizens of
the county or vicinity where tho crime '
was alleged to have been committed,
and, in some instances, by the officers j
of the court in which tho indictment
was pending.
Ot the lo cases in which the sen-'
teneo imposed was commuted from
deith to imprisonment, 6 were com
muted to imprisonment for life, 4 to
imprisonment for ten years, 1 to im
prisonment for 5 years, and 4 to im
prisonment for 1 year.
Os the 24 cases of voluntary man-;
slaughter, for which pardons have
been granted, ono of the convicts
served his full term, and was simply
restored to civil rights, while the sen
tence of three others, on account of
the circumstances attending the com
mission of the offense, was commuted
to ono year imprisonment each—the
shortest term of imprisonment pro
scribed by law.
J find, upon further examination,'
that many of the convicts pardoned of
the offense of burglary iu tho night
time hud served each from 4 to 5,
years, in pursuance of their respective
sentences,-which in every instance was
imprisonment for life, and that ull the
pardons to that class of convicts were
granted since the General Assembly
in its wisdom, has deemed proper to
alter and amend tho statute reducing
tho punishment for burglary iu tho
night from death or imprisonment tor
life to imprisonment for a less period.
In the case of the person pardoned
of the ofit*nso of incestious adultery,
pardon was recommended by the
[Judge of the Superior Court before
whom tho convic t vas tried, on
the ground that ho had been suffi
ciently punished, having nearly served
ou‘ his full term.
Whil e-several of tho pardons grant
ed for tho offense of simple) larceny
were for horse stealing, yet most of
them were in such cases, whore by the
law the act committed is recognized as
a misdemeanor only, for which the
punish merit generally imposod varied ;
as, for instance, iu some cases impris
onment in jail, in others imprison
ment and a fine, and in others work
on the public works and a fine, or, in
some cases, all of these punishments,
as tho Judge presiding at tho trial, in
his discretion, deemed proper. I*i
many of these eases, where the pris- 1
oner was too poor to pay the fine im
posed, that alone was remitted, or re
duced to a smaller amount. In many
of the cases where pardons were
granted for tho offences of assault:
with intent to murder, assaultjand bat
tery, stabbing, etc., it was generally;
upon the recommendation of the pros
ecutor iu the case, tho party injurod I
by the commission of the offense, j
Among Be 29 cases of misdemeanor [
for which pardons were issued, 1 find i
most of tlmru to be for using oppro- j
brious words, enticing and decoying j
servants to leave employer, riot, va
grancy, etc.,
Asa gemral thing, I find that near
ly every one of the persons pardoned
served some part of the term of his
sentence, and that pardons wore only
granted upon tho solicitation of the
most well-known and respectable cit
izens of tho counties from which said
convicts were sentenced; while, in
many instances, pardons were granted
to those only who had nearly comple
ted tho term of confinement imposed
upon them, upon the recommendations
of the officers and losses of the Peni
tentiary, for good behavior, or on ac
count of such physical disability as
made them unfit to pcrfoim manual
labor, and would have, had they been
kept in further confinement, probably
caused death. Where pardons were
granted for good behavior, they took
effect one or two days before the expi
ration of the term of confimont im
posed in the sentence of tho court.
Pardons have been refused in the
following cases, to-wit:
Murder, 10; manslaughter, 5 ; as
sault with intent to m aider, 4; bur
glary, ;3 horse-stealing, 3 ; simplo lar
ceny uud other larcenies, 8 , rape, 2 ;
assaults, and assaults and battery, 7 ;
riot 1. forgery 1 ; cheating and swin
dling, 1 ; perjury 1; robbery, 2 ;
stabbing, 2; fornication 1, adultery,
1 ; bastardy 1; receiving stolen goods
L; carrying concealed weapons, 2;
! playing and butting, 1 ) and other
misdemeanors, 3.
Very respectfully,
It. H. ATKINSON,
Secretary Executive Department.

The working foie on this road
West of Cuthbert, ias been with
drawn, and many aro he reasons giv
en for the withdrawal. The Albany
■Aw cs says tho land-ownvs ask exhor
bitant prices for tho right if way, and
thinks this the cause. Th Cuthbert
Appeal is jubilant at the ide 0 f Cutli
bort being tho terminus of ho B. &
A. It. It., and don’t care a iid what
tho cause is. The Lumpkin 'ilegraph
knows all about tho affair, an says
that Columbus instead of Eul'aui will
bo the Western terminus of the load,
and thai Mr. Kia'ball will lay <vwn
three rails on one? bod, have two iff.
roads, the B. & A. and 8., C. &
from Cuthbert North, one a broad tL
other a narrow guago, and wo sup
pose tho Telegraph thinks this a pieeo
of strategy that could have entered no
other head but that of H. I. Kimball,
and that the Legislature will acquiesce
in tho move, and issue bonds for twen
ty-three thousand dollars per milo to
build the B. & A. Road, and twelve
thousand for tho 8., C. & C. Road,
making in the aggregate thirty-fivo
thousand dollars per mile from Cutli
bert to Columbus. Wo have too much
confidence in Mr. Kimball’s good
sense and business qualifications to
believe that he will entertain such an
idea, nor do wo bolievo that ho now
intends to make Columbus tho Wes
tern terminus of the B. & A. Koad. —
Wo learn that the twenty-three thous
and dollars per mile appropriation
runs out at or about Cuthbert, and
from that point only fifteen thousand
dollars per mile is allowed. If this bo
so—and we do not doubt it —we tL ink
“that’s what’s the matter with Han
nah,” and after tho old lady rests a
little, and the people about Cotton llill
repent over their acts, and offer to her
a free passage through her lands, that
she will go on, and make tho connec
tion first intended at Eufaula.
A Political View of the Hew
York ICiot.
The recent riot in New York, which
followed upon the heel of the celebra
tion of the anniversary of the battle
of the Boyne, in IG9O, it is alleged,
was not consequent so much upon the
cherished antagonism between the
Piotestant and Catholic Irish, as upon
the influenco of political tricksters,
the same who originated the famous
“New Departure,” aud for the pur
pose of securing votes. Whether or
not this be true wo are unable to say';
but tbo fact is very evident that the
affair was badly managed from be
ginning to end, since it is true that the
parade had been spoken of for weeks
before it come off. It was no new
thing, either to Gov. Hoffman, or
Mayor Hall; they had had a consul
tation some days previous, and it does
appear that if Mayor Hall had enter
tained any' doubts as to tho propriety
of this celebration, he should have
made liis doubts kuown to the Execu
tivo of State, whose duty it would have
been to advise in the matter. The or
der from the city authorities forbid
ding tho Orange Societies carrying out
their plan, not meeting with any op
position from the Governor until tho
night before the day of the parade,
shows conclusively there was no con
cert of action between the authorities,
and one may as readily conclude that
politics was at tho bottom of the affair
as not.
Truly, these aro evil days, and so
far from an honest administration of
Governmental affairs, political ma
rauders are continually at work, and
far in advance of practical issuos do
vices aro set on foot wherewith to de
feat the schemes of honest men in try
ing to have a voice in government af
fairs. Not being content with con
fining political questions to their prop
er sphere, they are confounded with
tho creeds of the various churches,
and wo will not wonder, if after
awhile, in order to belong to this, that
or the other branch of the church you
will first have to declare in favor of
some political organization. Is this
idle gossip ? Look at tho number of
colored people now being educated for
the Priesthood at Home. How carno
they there ? For what purpose were
they sent ? How unnatural, viewing
from an unprejudiced standpoint, for a
negro to boa papist ? Politics under
lies this bit of benevolence, and what
the final result will be, who can toll!
The world is now being moved by
trickery and fashion, and unless a
Jefferson, or someone else will arise
that can and will exert an influence
for truth and honesty of purpose, we
may expect to contend with fraud, and
the centralized power now being .con
tended for will obtain such a mastery
over the position that successive gen
erations will not be able to shake
them from their base.
Before the Kii-klux Committee
Every day we have news of some
one being ordered to Washington be
fore the Ku-klux Committee. The
number thus ordered would not have
been so numerous wo dare say but for
the fact they can’t get tho proper ones,
and we presume their determination
is to keep trying, “they’ll find the hole
’ where the hog went iu” after a while.
! Judge Wright, of Romo, no doubt ap
, peared to them to be a “soft case,” he
j having been a union man before the
| war, but not so ; they have turned him
loose, and are trying others. Having
been summoned the second time to
, Washington was cross-examined for
six hours by Senator 800 l of Pasquo
tank county, North Carolina, who is
said not to have been at all pleased,
when, iu reply to a question as to tlie
real cause of the disturbances in tho
South, Judge Wright stated that they
were “mainly attributable to the scal
awags, who, many of them, were lead
ing rebels, and had joined hands with
the carpet-baggers to despoil the South
ern people of their substance.”
Mr. 800 l then wanted to know
whether there was any Ku-klux or
ganizations iu Georgia? to which
«udgo Wright replied.
“That if the question was whether
tbre were regular secret organizations,
will secret signs and passwords, and
orgnized under a head, or in accord
anct with any design to restrain any
classof citizens from exercising their
privil ges of citizenship, or with a pur
pose C resisting the authority of tho
Guvemnent, he answered no.
Ho sated that the worst act of vio
lence lit had ever witnessed in this re
gard wen the violent outrages com
mitted by Radical negroes upon per
sons of tlnir Own color who had at
tempted tovote with tho Democrats
lie had one. seen the white citizens
organized andarmed to protect negroes
who desired tovote their personal sen
timents, iu opposition to the wishes of
the Radical orgmizations.”
The Senator lorn North Carolina
seemed anxious about tho religious
opinions of the witless, and questioned
him on that subject He was told that
he professed “aver.- simple and hum
ble faith” ; that ho was, in fact, a “foet
washing Baptist,”
Tho Senator seennd puzzled, and
asked witness wliethe* “feet-washing
w as a doctrine or an olservance.” ?
“The Judge replied tint the doctrino
of feet-wasliing was derived from the
‘Last Supper,’ as described in the
Scriptures, and that its idlowers be
lieved that it was a Christim duty and
privilege to perform the sano office to
wards ono another, in iniitatun of the
humble example set His disciples by
of mankind. He added tlia ho had
witnessed the observance of feit-wash
ing administered to humble negroes
by white brethren of the faith, and
would cheerfully perform tie samo
ceremony himself if occasion remand
ed. The disciples of this fai li were
generally sincere believers in its effi
cacy.”
