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, for a special election held ia Decem ber last. The rato of tax is prescribed 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.

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.
