Prom the Federal Union. 44 What Became of the Money.” Under the above caption, the Chronicle & Sentinel makes the following comments disparaging and unjust, concerning the management of the State Hoad, under Gov. Johnson’s administration: “ P. Thwcatt, in a letter to the Macon Citizen furnishes the following statement of receipts into the treasury from the net earnings of the State Road, from the 1st day of March 1858 to the 1st day of July, March, 1858, April, “ May, 11 June, *' July, August, " Sept., “ Oct, #•>0,000 Nov., 1858, #25,000 2'i.OOO Dec., 25,000 23,000 Jan., 1859, 31,000 23,000 Feb., “ 33,000 23,000 March, “ 35,000 33,000 April, 3li,00O 23,000 May, 44 35,000 20,000 June, 44 35,000 Total: #475,000 This is an interesting table to the peo ple, and we should think particularly so to the Democracy, as it very naturally suggests the enquiry, “ what became ol the money;’’ the nett earnings of the ltoad under Gov. Johnson's administra tion ? The Road did as much business then as now, and ought to have paid in as much money then as now. What then has become of the money ? W here is it ? Echo answers where, while the honest men of the country suspect it found its way into the pockets of the. thieving offiic holders. Will not some Good Democrat explain away this seeming mystery, or will they quietly submit to the imputation that the ollicers of the road—the appointees of the party, its chosen agent, appropriated this enormous sum to their | rivate use—in the purchase of Cherokee farms, negroes, &c, &c ? It seems to us to he a matter requi ring explanation and we confess wc should like to see some sort of excuse for this disposition of half a million of dollars of the people's money. Such an explanation would doubtless he particularly gratifying to the Democratic white washing commit tees sent up by the Legislature, to white wash by their reports the road and its appurtenances, thieves and all. That the money was received by the road—the re ports will show—and it remains for the Johnson administration to show how it was spent.” It will be perceived by the above that the Chronicle it Sentinel boldly charges that the nett earnings of the W. & A. R. R, during the four years of Gov. John son's administration, were appropriated to the private use of the officers of the road. Our cotemporary asks “ will not some good Democrat explain away this seeming mystery.” Wo will answer his question. We will tell him “ what became of the money.” Having called for it, will he have the magnanimity to publish our response ? We shall see. The explanation is easy and simple.— The l:ist Annual Message ofGov. Johnson furnished a lucid and triumphant expla nation of “ what became of the money.” If he had penned it with the enquiry of Pd Int on bonds 15,536,30 “ for new Locomo tives, 20,053,50 “ “ Cars, 44,141,81 “ “ Depot Buil dings, 18,290,06 “ “ Construction, right of way, iron and new track, 236,025,53 For 1856. “ State Treas 43,500,00 “ Int on bonds, 9,145,00 “ for new Locomo tives, 92,183,48 “ “ Cars, 112,082,05 “ “ Depot buil- ings, 42,988,90 “ “ Construction, iron rails and new track, 122,880,04 ' “ “ expenses in curred previous to Jan. 1854, Tenn. claim 67,981,21 For 1857. “ State Treas 100,000,00 “ Int on bonds 7,265,65 “ for Engines, 107,752,72 “ “ Cars, 99,852,16 “ “ Depot build ings, 52,062,96 “ “ Construction, iron, rails, new track, 100,047;91 • the Treasury.

It may bo suggested, however, that the mismanagement is not in the application of the nett earnings; but in the expenses of maintaining and working the road.— Let us sec how the State Rond compares, in tills respect, with other roads in the State—What preparation the current ex- pcnse« bear to the gross earnings. The gross earnings of thc Georgia Rail Road, for thc last four years, maintaining it, for tlie same period, were $1,848,617,02, or about 45 per cent The gross earnings of tlie Macon and Western Road, for thc four years, from December, 1852, to December 1856, were $1,290,445 10, and the work ing expenses of thc same period, $460,- 340,00, or 50 J per cent. The gross earn ings of the Central R. R. including the line from Gordon to Eatonton, from De cember 1st, 1853, and the line from Millcn to Augusta, to the 1st of January, 1856, were $4,697,269 68; and the current ex penses, for the same period were $2,219,- 943—17i per cent.
