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.

Not a word had been spoken, when have access to it, or to some other port, without being under the control of a mo nopoly whicli, at pleasure, may take mil lions from tlieir hard earnings. I learn 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.

It is said, however, ment of this Institution, to be found in j that the defendant was insane at the time to-day’s paper. No institution of the kind U, c act was committed, and not therefore, in the State has a more competent Fac- 1 ulty, or superior advantages in any point of view. These having daughters to ed ucate—especially citizens of Cherokee Georgia—should at least give their home institution a trial, before sending else where. There is no necessity to send your daughters to middle or lower Geor gia, or to other States, when they ran get a better education, and at a great deal less expense, nearer home.

The law presumes that he was of sane mind, till the contrary is proven, and when the fact that the homicide was committed by him is established, the burden of proving tbe insanity, is cast upon the defendant. Evidence was introduced before the court and jury who tried the case, to sustain this plcflt The learned and able Judge in a clear and forcible manner, expounded to the jury thc rules of law by which they were to be governed in the investigations. They applied the evidence to these rules Constitution has wisely vested in another department of the government, ample pow er to prevent the injustice, by extending a pardon, and thus annullingthe judgment of the Court, But it should not be forgot ten that this power is subject to be great ly abused, and that it was not the inten tion of those who formed our Constitution that the verdict of juries and the judge ments of thc courts should lie indiscrimi nately annulled by its exercise; and fel ons convicted of atrocious crimes thereby turned loose again upon the community. 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 out shedding of blood is no remission,” is the langunge ofilis eternal truth. God has said in his revealed law that 4 ‘the mur- i derer shall surely be put to death. - ’— i “ Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction I for the life of a murderer, which is guilty j of death ; but he shall be surely put to j death.” “ So ye shall nut polute the land : wherein ye are; for blood it defileth the !
