Sir, the Senator has done me the honor
to pay me a compliment for s;ieaking in
my report in complimentary terms of the
city of Savannah. I have spoken nothing
hut what I believe. Savannah is a large
commercial city ; she has great advanta
ges, and I regret to see them marred by
what I consider a ruinous policy. What
I desire is, that the people of Georgia shall j station whTch wa’s mlde'Tn itTfavor bv

I hope, Mr. President, from what I have
said, tiiat we shall not hear again that the
Georgia anil Central Railroad Companies
have received no State aid.
I do not intend to detain the Senate but
a few moments longer. I believe it would

of this bill after the decision which has
been made in its favor by the people, at

that the price of freight on a bale of cot
ton of five hundred pounds from Macon to
Savannah is two dollars. I find in the re
port of thc New York Board of Railroad
commissioners, the price of mixed freights
on Railroads is fixed at two cents per ton
per mile ; at this rate a bale of cotton
weighing 500 should be carried from Ma
con to Savannah for ninety five cents. It
will be seen, therefore, that the present
price of freight from thc former to the lat
ter city is $1,05 more than is charged on
the Senate on yesterday. The Honorable
and distinguished Senator is now anxious
for debate, but it will be remembered that
on j esterday, those who favor his views
were opposed to it I have nothing to do
with his change of opinion. I hope that
we shall pass a measure which I believe
necessary to relieve the people of Georgia
from two of the most powerful and oppres
sive monopolies that are to be found on
this continent, and to allow the people to
avail themselves of the benefit of competi
tions to these monopolies, which is the
surest method of preventing their further
oppression. There is no danger that they
will ever become unprofitable; but on the

The bill to pardon AVm. A. Choice, for
the murder of Calvin Webb, passed the
House, on Friday last, by three majority:
yeas 71, nays 68—but was vetoed by the
Governor. The Senate then tried to pass
the bill over the veto, but failed. In an
other column will be found the veto mes-

Constitution has wisely vested in another
department of the government, ample pow

The extension of mercy to such offenders
is the infliction of cruelly and injustice up
on society. I am also aware that it is ing-
ed that the pardoning power is a God-like
power and that it is noble to exercise it.
But it should not be forgotten, when this
argument is urged, that God himself re
quired no less than the blood of his own
son as an atonement for sin, before lie ex
ercised the pardoning power. “ And w ith

a watchful Executive. That some confi

and integrity. If we assume that no man
is to be trusted—that all men are rogues,
land, and the land cannot be cleansed of
the blood that is shed therein, but by the
blood of him that shed it.” If then we
would respect the revelations of God, and
save our land from the s::iin of innocent

stern truths of the Bible are not suited to
the humanity and sympathy of the pres

however on that account; and it is none
the less certain that the curse of God will
rest upon that State or nation, which dis
regards them, and that his blessings will
attend those who obey them.
