THE GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
'Che following is a copy of the message
of Governor ^McDaniell transmitted to
die legislature the present session :
To the Senate and House of Represents
rives:
It is the duty of the Executive t« corn
tnunicate to the General Assembly, from
time to time, information of the condi¬
tion and suggestions for the government
of the commonwealth.
I regret to inform yon that the Treas¬
ury Department of the United States has
declined to pay the sum of $ 35 , 5'»5. 42 ,
appropriated by Congress in the act ap¬
proved March 3 , 1883 . “to refund lo the
State of Georgia ce-tain money expended
by said State for the common defense in
I 777-” The First Comptroller of the
Treasury hasdecided that this sum shall
be credited on account of what b claimed
to be due for the quota of direct taxes |
apportioned to the State by the direot
tax act of August 5, 1861 . This decision j
: s, in oiy judgment, erroneous, snd I!
have notified th ! Secretary of the Treus- ! i
ury that the State does not acq-desce in
it. If the taxes claimed are due, the ob
iigation is upon the citizen and not upon
the State, which has never assumed tiie
payment of the taxes and cannot be just
ly changed with them. All proper means
will be used to secure the payment of
the sum appropriated for the benefit of
the State.
The various matters submitted in the
messages of my predecessors, in connec
tion with the annual reports of State
officials and otherwise, Bhould and doubt
less will receive the consi leration their
importance demands. I desire to sup
plement them by inviting your attention
to addi'ional subjects of legislation.
The act of October 16, 1879, provides
that “the Governor shall na»e and ap
point a solvent, chartered bank of good
standing and credit, in each of the ful
lowing cities in this State, to-wit: In
the cities of Atlanta, Athens, Augusta,
Columbus, Macon, Savannah, Rome,
Americus, Albany, Hawkinsvilte,
esvilte, Griffin and LaGranga, which
Rtia ‘1 be known and designated a« State
depositories” In pursuance of this law
the foliowing banns were designated as
state depositories, to-wit:
“iLnk of Rome. November «8th.

on the i8di day of April, 18*3 declined
to receive further deposits of public mon¬
ey. The other banks named continue to
discharge the dutiesassigned them. The
act would seem io contemplate further
legislation at thy expiration of these
terms. Under this construction the
power of the Ex. cutive to appoint de
positories was exhausted in ’lie foregoing
exercise of it. No provision is made, in
terms, for subsequent appointments of
the same banks, or other banks, pen¬
ding the ierm of four yeais, or subse¬
quent to the expiration of the term. It
is manifestly unwise to leave a matter of
such importance to Executive construc¬
tion. A mistake might involve conse¬
quences ot a nature too serious to be in
curred without necessity.
The act should be repealed or amended
to conform to the conditions soon to ex
ist- The policy of providing for the safe
ty of the large sums of monev necessary
to be kept the Treasury, at certain times
in the year, to meet the expenses of the
State Government and pay the public
; debt, must be left to tiie wisdom of the
Legislature. If the present system is to
be continued, I respectfully recommend
that the taw be so amended as to pro
vide for subsequent appointments under
any circumstances which may require
them. A recent application by certain
emeries on the bond of aistate depository
to be relieved from further liabi ity on
the bond, upon the bank’s *iviug other
satisfactory sureties, which it wax ready
to do, suggests another amendment, 1
declined to release these sureties, for the
reason that the act under which they
signed the bond makes no provision for
gucli release. The State could not be
expected to incur the risk of a change in
the bond, unless the sureties had con¬
tracted with reference to plain provis¬
ions for the exercise of such power by
the Executive in his discretion, and pre
scribing the mode of release so that
there might be certain compliance with
the law, involving no danger of litiga-
Number 16.
tion. The law should l»e explicit oii.thin
imixit, to the end that the citixen sh'uid
have no cause to complain that he was j !
subjected unnecesaar ly to inconvenience
and tha* sureties signing such bonds may
understand that they are bound, in at y
event, until tiie bank makes full settle
inent with the Tiewsurer.
An embarrassing question has arisen ,
in the taxation of personal property of
railroads located partly within this State
and partly in another State. The rea ty 1
and the personality located in this 8tate
muRt of necessity be taxed in this State.
But much of the personal property of
such railroads is located in this or anoth- j
er State only by reason of the rule of law ;
which fixes the situs of personality at ■
the domicil of tiie owner or, in case of a
railroad, where its principal office is loca
ted. In practice, a difficulty arises be- j
cause adjoining States claim the right to
*« 9uch P™P° r < 10 " '/ ,h f e " l > re P e ™ c *
*»ty as the t number of m.les of railroad
located within their limits bears to the
• hole number of miles in both States.
This would seem to be the rule of con
venienceas well as of justice, and I re¬
commend its sdoptioa.
The subject of taxation cannot engage
too much of your attention Equality
uniformity are substantially secured
— ; n theory—under our system; but ex¬
perience proves that our laww for ascet
taining the property liable for taxation
and its value are de/ecive, its aggregate
value being largely in excess of tiie an
nual returns. The amount to be raised
is regulated by the neeeasites of the State,
and the rate is governed by the amount
of property upon which the levy ia
marie, ft in manifest that when a citii
zen fails to retur 1 any part of his iaxa
bl * property, or undervalues wlist be
does return be inflicts a wrong upon his
neighbor, who returns sli his taxable
property at its true market value, by
raising the rate, which the latter is forced
pay. The remedy f»r this inequality
may be difficult to apply. All systems
of taxation are necessarily defective.
Ours has been steadity improving, but
the result continues to be unsatisfactory.
Some remedy can be devised, by judi
cious p.ovisions, for assessment, or by
other adequate meant?, to secure an ap
prosch to uniformity in valuation of ths

In view of the reduction in taxation
already effected by the watchfulness of
the people and the Tabors of your prede
cessors, without imparing the efficiency
■ 0 f the State Government, you c»n afford
to give much study to this problem. We
collect from the people of Georgia, for
{ State and county purposes annually, lees
than one dollar and twenty-five cents
'
per capita. The Federal government
collects from the people of the United
Ststes annually more than seven dollars i
per capita. Contrasting these amounts

mom government should induce the peo¬
ple of ail the States to gtfve the same at¬
tention to this subject that they bestow
upon local systems of taxation and ex¬
penditure. In no other way can our
complex government oe adminittered

A RAINY EVENING.
The twilight shadows darkling full
O memories dear! agamst thy thrall
My heart strives ail in vain
Yet wherefore etriva against nay mood?’
I cannot silence, if I would.
The softly falliu rain.
At such an hour, on such an eve.
Bright hopes, that yet 1 inly grieve,
Sprang up to fade and wans.
Ah, never more hand clasped in liand,
Shall we within the doorway stand
And watch the falling aain.
Yet still the sweetness of that hour
Returns, with all ita wonted power
Of miag’ed joy and pain,
When, dropping down from window
eavs,
Or gently falling on t*-e leaves,
I hear tbs summer rain.
O Cruel Metnori! thus to bring
That glad brief hour, with bitter sting.
Back to my heart again;
Those parting words of fond regret;
With glad pretext, love lingering yet,
Unmindful of the rain.
Ah! brief, indeed, poor aching heart.
The joy those fickle hopes impart;
Grief follows in their train.
Nay, nay. my heart; taka upward win*.
O cruel Memory I thy sting
Shall vanish with the rain.
Though sadder seem the songs I trill,
Yet lorrow, with its plaintiff thrill,
Adds sweetness to the strain;
As fragrant perfumes softly flow
From hawthorn blossoms lending low,
Beat do*u by wind and r«iu-
