Huff, Mayor of the city of Macon, for a ride over the entire grouuds belonging to the city, which is now being putin order for tho holding of the next Annual Fair of tho Stato of Georgia. Tho lo cation is on the banks of the Ocmul gee rivet about ono half mile frotu the passenger depot and on tho line of the Macon and Augusta H K. A more appropriate and beautiful spot can not be found in the State for the holding of the Annual Fairs, and we amagino that the Executive Com mittee will agree with ue after they have inspected tho grounds, provided they leave ull their prejudices in favor of Atlanta at home. We havo never seen a better and more perfect mile track on any Fair Grounds North or South. Taking a position at any point- of tho circumference tho spectator can see every stop taken by the horse or horses on the track. There is also a beauti ful half mile track in the park, adjoin ing the mile track. The buildings being erected are placed on firm foundations, and will be substantial, neat aud sufficiently com modious to give to all ample and com fortable accommodations. Tho whole affair is being gotten up on a gigantic scale, and no man in Georgia is better fitted for a leader or director than is tho live and business man of Macon, W. A. Huff, in whose hands is this whole interest. After going over the grounds with Col. Huff, all tho places of interest pointed out to us, wo came to the con clusion that in the selection of the grounds, in the laying off of tho tracks, the locating of the different buildings, the decorating of the banks of the river for more than a half mile, in the whole muko up of tho Central City Fair Grounds he has damaged Atlanta, and if she brought suit against him and wo were on the jury, wo would decide against him for heavy damages. There is no comparison whatever in point of beauty and convenience bo tween these grouuds aud the grouuds near Atlanta. TO the Public. Georgia, Terrell County, ) August 21st, 1871. ) Wo, the Jurors selected and sworn to attend upon the Honorable District Court of the lltli Senatorial District for the second quarter of the yoar 1871, commencing the third Monday in Juno and oiuting this, tho third Monday in August, our duty as Juroi'fe ending with this day’s sorvioe, feel it our duty as citizens and tax payers of tho county of Terrell, to give as our honest opinion, founded on our expe rience us Jurors for tho past throe months, that said Court, so far as this Senatorial District is concerned, is en tirely a useless and unwarrantable ex penditure of the people’s money and of no public benefit whatever to the citizens of said District. We are of the opinion that said Court was only creatod for Party purposes, aud to give curtain individuals who might be in the favor of his Excellency the Gov ernor, a ( banco to filth pock ets of the already tax payers of this District a comfortable salary, to be raised by and for which the people reap no benefits in return. And while we havo no pnr- ticular disresjjtct for his Honor the Judge as a nron, wo fool constrained to rejrort tUg'Court as unnecessary and perfectly useless to the people of this District, 60 far as we are able to judge, having had before us but one single case during the three months we have been attending upon said Couit. In view of the facts that the Court vras forced upon us over the heads and against the earnest appeals of our State Representatives, we would respectfully reeotnmend to our Repre sentative elect to do all in his power at the next meeting of the Legislature to abolish said Court so far as relates to the 11th Senatorial District We fur ther recommend that this report be published in the Dawson Jouenax and all papers friendly to the cause.

Total Receipts from the Income Tax —The receipts from income for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1863, to 1870, inclusive, were as follows : 1863, $2,741,868; 1864, $20,264,- 731; 1865, $32,050,017; 1866, $72,- 082,159; 1867, $66,624,42 6; 1868, $41*455,598; 1869, $34,791,854 ; 18- 70, $37,775,873. Gross total, $308,- 106,553; amount of income tax refun ded from 1863 to 1870, $787,250. Net total, $306,310,272. The estimated collection of income tor the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, are $25,- 060, but owing to the decision of Com imseionor Pleasanton in regard to the collection of two and one half per cent, on dividends tor the last five months of 1870, it will be impossible to ascertain the exact amount due from this source of revenue for some time. In round numbers the amount collected from in come since the revenue law wag pass ed may be 6ct down nt $332,000,000, CSTThe Ci Juuibua papers talk as if they were iu earnest about build ing the Columbus and Albauy Rail road. Some people very knowingly assort it to boa hoax. Dawson is eluted with the idea — re al estate is looking up —the Journal has got another “devil,” they are go ing to have anew jail, soveral new gates are being swung, etc. W® are glad of it; will be glad to have such a live place in tho suburbs of our city. —Cuthbert Appeal. Well, “that do Bottle it.” We had thought that friend Christian had al ways been joking when he would say that Dawson was the greatest and most dosirablo place to live on earth, but we now believe he was in earnest, and having traversed the universe iu search of a place whose social sur roundings would remind him of bis stay in Dawson, and finding it not, he “squats” 20 miles aways and calls up on his imagination to aid him : Come, imagination, I would live again in Dawson, and enjoy the companion ship of her hospitable people. And although the new gates that are be ing swung are barred against me, and I am far away, incline thou to my feeling, aud if it’s but for a moment, lot me forget that I «m in Cuthbert, for I long to swing on the gates that are being swung in Dawson. COni’TUULLLH UESEBALS ItCrORT. We have received from Hon. Madi son Bell, Comptroller Goneral for the State of Georgia, kii Annual Report to the Governor for the year ending 31st Decomber, 1870. It contains much definite information ou subjects of vast mportance to the people at large, and embraces matter under fifteen heads, to-wit: 1. An account current between the Treasurer and the State, showing the cash balance in tho Treasury Ist Jan uary, 1871. 2. A statement showing the month ly receipts into* the Treasury, and the sources whence derived. 3. A statement showing the month ly payments from tho Treasury, the fund from which paid, aud total amount paid out during the yoar 18- 70. 4. A statement showing the assets bolonging to the State, and their pres ent market valuo. 5. A statement of the public debt of the State as furnished by the Treas ury. 0. A table showing the number of acres of land returned, increase and decrease, aggregate value, also aver age value for the years 1869 and 18- 70. 7. A table showing the number of acres of improved and wild lands, the aggregate and uverage values; also the number of acres and value of im proved lauds iu default for tho yoar 1870. 8. A table showing the value of city and town property, of inouoy and sol vent debts, and value of merchandise for the years 1869 and 1870, exhibit ing the increase and doorcase for eaoh county. 9. A table showing the value of household and kitchen furniture of Elantation and mochanicnl tools, num er of hands' employed, &c., lor the years 1869 and 1870; also, Bliowing ii cr tase and decrease in each item since the returns of 1869. 10. A tablo showing the value of stocks and bonds for 1869 and 1870, cnpitol invested in shipping, cotton manufactures, iron works, mining, number of shares in any National Bank in this State, and the value ol those shares as shown by the tax books of 1870. 11. A table showing the value of “all other property,” the aggregate of the whole property, orud thfl value after deducting s2os for that years 1869 and 1870, exhibiting the decrease for each county since the returns of the year^S6B. 12. A table showing the jjjuifibor of polls, professions, dentists, Aaguorrean artists, billiard tables, auettflators, ten pin alleys, pubile race tracks*; also, number of deaf, dumb anti blind in each county for 1870. • x j 13. A statement showing the num- 1 ber voting nt the last electfbn, the amount of per dienuand mileage paid each Senator and Representative, their names, t’ao total amount paid to each Senatorial District, and the net amount of money paid into the Treas ury by each county for the year 1870. j 14. A statement showing the num- 1 ber of Executive warranto drawn up- i on the Treasury and approved during the year 1870, giving the number and date of each w arrant, date of approval in whose favor drawn, for what pur pose drawn, and the fund upon which drawn. 15. A statement showing for what purpose special appropriations were made, the amount appropriated, and the amount of the appropriation drawn ; also, exhibiting a statement of over payments drawn upon the Treas ury by Tax Collectors. The above adds the Comptroller General embraces everything oxcept the property belonging to the State at this place (Atlanta) and other locali ties, embracing the Ponitentiary, the State’s interest in the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, the buildings connected with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, tho Lunatic Asylum and Institution tor tho Blind, have not been referred to in this report, for the reason that I rely upon the gentlemen in charge of these buildings and institutions who, from their reflations to the same, are much more capable of giving reliable infor mation in reference to tlicm, and who will, no doubt, in their reports, furnish your Excellency with all necessary in. formation connected with their respec tive charges. As stated in my annual report for the year 1869, the Tax Col lectors in nearly every county in the State failed to aacortuin and report the true amount of pool tax after deduc ting necessary expenses collected from thoir respective counties. I found it necessary then, and have found it ue cessary for 1870, where the tax account has been closed, to make a calculation in order to ascertain (the net poll tax collectod from each county, alter de ducting insolvent list, cormuiesious, er rors, &c. It is my intention to furn ish the Treasurer with a tabular state ment showing tho not amount of poll tax collected from each couuty in the Stato for the year 1870, so that he may separate it from the genaral fund and set it a part for educational purposes, in accordance with the Constitution and of the State, passed iu pur suance thereof. Not having space for a recapitula tion of tho sum total as exhibited in thejtables under different headings quo ted above, we append the closing par agraph of the report touching the finan cial condition of the State, by which the tables are prefaced. It will be seen from the accompany ing tables taken from returns of 1869 and 1870, that a considerable increase of taxable proporty is exhibited, and I feel justified in saying that a pro portionate increase will appear from tho returns of 1871. The returns for 1869 show taxable property amounting to 8.188.813,247. Those for 1870 amount to $210,602,211, showing an iturease of oxer twenty-one Millions of dol lar*. It is reasonable to supposo that a proportionate increase will be exhib ited for 1871, and that the taxable val ue of proporty for the present year will not be far from $240,000,000. This shows that the people of the State are in a prosperous condition. That agriculture, commerce and internal improvements are in a flourshing con dition, aud that the taxable wealth of our Stato, increasing at tho rate of twenty-one millions of dollars per year will in a few years, at moderate rates of taxation, enable the State not only to meot tho interest on her public in debtedness, but to pay off the princi pal and place her in point of wealth, credit and standing on an equality with the most favored Stato in the Union The Slate Road Invefttignlion. A majority of our readers have been aware for a long time that something has been wrong from the burdeu of taxation, but whore it went or who got it no one could confidently say.— Recent disclosures show that the thieves have fallen out, and jealousy coupled with fear is beginning to make them expose the extreme rottenness of their corruption. Our space will not admit of details or evon numbering the arrests that hate been made. — Prominont among those accused of fraud is one N. P. Hotclikins, former Auditor of the Stato Eoad, the inves tigation of whoso conduct is published in all tho Atlanta papers. The fol lowing from the Atlanta Corslitution is to tho point, find wc think Vviii not bo without iutorcit to our readers : The people of Atlanta havo been exercised the present woek by a suo oossion of sensations, that have created no little excitemout. A homicide at tempted and another charged, arrests of State Eoad officers aud citizens, ab sconding of parties, together with the stir in political circles over the indica tions of a chango of base by the Rad ical organ, have contributed to render this week quite a lively one. But ev erything else was comparatively for gotten, and all interest war concen trated upon the exposnres being made of the Radical administration of tho State Eoad. A short review will be instructive, for prosent occurrences are destined to have a marked relation both with | TAST AND rUTUJIJt DEYELOmENffS. f For two years the people of Goorgja have struggled hopelessly againa Radical incubus that oppressed them 'sorely and crushed their dnergiml— The finances of the Statowero bdmg handled, mismanaged and misappro priated by unscrupulous Radical of fice-holders and their corrupt but the people could only groatpJbo neatli their buydeus. Tho ■tion and the press of tho Staro as saulted, denounced and exposed, two years this has been their un<yws ing work. But to what did exposuro amount, when the whole State govern ment was in the hands of the Radi cals, with wsom honesty is only the exception and not the rule. Governor Bullock’s unwarrantable and reckless 'manipulation of the BONDS or THE STATE V has been continually set forth in the Cmttibttion fox a year or more past.— The lavish and outrageous expendi ture of the people’s money by hun dreds of thousands, where former Gov ernors spent only a few thousand, the enormous waste upon the New Era, the criminal use of pardoning power, os shown by figures wjiich wo took from the records and have made the circuit of the Uni >n, and the damning exposures about two months since, showing where $8,500 of the people’s money went in a single case, and how tit millions were- expended in two years ; all this the press have been thunder ing. But with all power in Radical possession, it was feared that rascali ties could be so covered up that the evidences of guilt would never be dis covered. But the prospect brightens. The existence of COBKUPT BINGS for plundering the revenues of tho fitate Road, a fact all along believed, has been clearly demonstrated. These rings were composed both of office holders and citizens, but tho names of only a few have yet been ascertained. The recent investigations have also clearly developed perhaps the leading modus operandi, by which the Slate Road Tioasury has been depleted. It is known, we believe, as LOADING A BILL. That is, where goods have been pur chased, the bill for the game has been 1 increased fifty or one hundred per cent., I and wheu paid tho overplus was di vided among the rings. In this way, the books anil accounts would appear entirely regular upon their lace. An other mode vas by accounts altogeth er fraudelent, and still another by two payments for the same bill. Thus thousands of dollars were stolen, and doubtless at least A DALE SHLIION of dollars wont in the a o various ways, for boyond all question the profits of: the Western aud Atlantic Railroad for the years 1869 and 1870 amounted to that much. It will bo remembered that we gave a few months since tho following as the enormous aggregate of the expenditures, namely : For IMB $>.4»,909 00 For ’B7O *3,1(0,371 00 This shows an increase of expendi ture in 1870 of more than $600,000, and this is probably about the amount of the people’s money that has found its way INTO PRIVATE POCKETS This explains how palatial mansions have been built, and men without in comes suddenly become rich and dash about in splendid equipages. When the Legislature meets, aud appoints its investigating committees, with the facts now before us, the whole truth will probably be ferrettod out. And a glo liius day for G orgia it will bo, when the plunderers will be exposed to their naked iniquity to the scorn and con demnation of the people they have robbed: Wo have suffered, but the day of tribulation is rapidly passing and tho dawn breaks of the millenial morn when corruption shall disappear and the last vestiges of the Radicalism, which has cursed, and plundered aad oppressed the Empire Stato of the South, shall linger only in the stenches arising from its grave. The Crop* of 1871. We reproduce the following from Salsbury, Respess & Co’s Bulletin, to show in what esteem our country is held abroad. The veiws expreesed, 1 we think, are very correct: “In our last we gave our estimate of the probable per centago of tho cotton crop, as compared with that of 1870. j Macon, and perhaps one or two more counties may fall below, but a recent trip through portions of Talbot aud Taylor, witli information from Upson, Crawford and other counties, has led us to believe that the average per cont ago givon will not bo very far wrong. The reports of cotton crops in other States, save Texas and Arkansas, mako the prospect in Georgia quite up to the average. Excessive rains, in the spring, visited all in the cotton bolt, retarding the growth of the plant and causing a much longer season than usual necessary for its maturity. Estimates now, however, are mostly very speculative, as the next six weeks may confirm or disprove our deliber ate calculations. In Talbot we wore delighted with the sight of large fields 1 of corn, promising an abundant yield ofthe staff of life to *Le hard working, intelligent tmd prudent farmers, and tho -Ohon in this county, though not so large as at this time last year, has a healthy and vigorous appearance.— Talbot is indoed a noblo county, and one might travel in vain, from Maino to Texas seeking an abiding place more desirable than can be found with in her linrts.— Standard . «.*>• Cuthbert, with only throe dissent ing votes, agreed, last Saturday, to subscribe $5,000 to tho High School. .t’f If ./H I'EiI'IISEMEJTTS A PUO(LAIOATIO.\.
