To tlie General Assembly: Tlie circum-
sm .ces attending the present assembling of
your body ore ao impressive and marked in
their character as, in my judgment, to de
mand precedence over all other questions,
which I shall present in this message, refer
ring merely to our material condition and
necessities.
The present year lias I*een one of such
afflictive exjieritnce in many sections ol
land a* to apioll tlie heart and attract the
sympathy of the civiiixetMxorld. The re
sistless i??estilence, bafflin^She utmost that
man could do, and leaving behind it the
habiliments of woe in thousands of house
holds, ha* not touched one .*jK>t in all oui
borders. While our j??art has been that of
the sympathixing friend and brother,
have been s*?? blessed in our exemption fn.
the awful visitation which we havedeplored
for others, that we should be filled with
grateful and humble acknowledgments.
We have been spared from tlie desolating
storms and inundations which have swept
over other sections. Not one case of popular
commotion has excited or alarmed us. The
state ha* been blessed generally with such
crops os leave no cause for complaint. Our
merchants and manufacturers have passed
through the year with such rewards a*
should satisfy the moderate.
In review of all interests, and the fortune
of every section of our state, we have very
much to cheer and encourage us.
The depression which for years preceding
this lias ao weighed us down is gradually
giving way to tlie hopeful promise which
rises up before us of a better day coming.
Does it not become us to make formal, as
well as heartfelt, acknowledgments for such
a catalogue of signal benefits?
THE STATE FINANCES.
The cash balance in the treasury, Janu
ary 1, 1877, wa* $564,283.33. The amount
received from all sources into the treasury
hiring tlie year 1877 was $1.1108,346.84, the
details pf which will apj??ear by reference
ia r??|Mjft* of tJjje treasurer and eoniji-
troller-gei end )g<rf.?jth *ui??np!t??d.
The disbnn'Cmentfi during the year 1877
were $1,728,010.80, h aving a cash lailance in
ihe treasury of $833,710.37. The objects of
these disbursements are stated in the ae-
???m|>aii vine rejx.rts.
The public debt of the state on the
1st of ^Hilary, 1878, was $l(i,644.500,

being $710,13,?. Of the public debt

$300,000 of the public debt, for which pro

nua! interest accruing of $708,135???tlie
whole amount to be paid on the public debt,
princi|ial and interest, next year being $1,-

In consgqupncQ qf the receipt of a consid
erable sum ot money from unexpected
sources, namely; $1.?2,678.1H from the United
States government on claim of tlie Western
and Atlantic railroad, and $25,000 income
from the Macon and Bninswli-k railroad,
the temporary loan of the year 1876of $350,-
000 wa* reduced to $200,000 in the year
1877.
Aa the fiscal year begins the 1st of Janu
ary ttiui ends tjjf* fjf st of December, the full
tinancial n-purts of tin, year 18J8 are not
ready, the present fiscal year not having ex
pired. The comptroller-general recommends
that the fiscal year be changed from the
present time and made to run from October
first to October first each year. I favor this
recommendation, a* under the new consti
tution t|f.cgeneral assembly meets biennially
on the ffraf >Y(M)np*day in November, and
the change is nuccs^ry in prder for the gen
eral assembly to have lieforu it the re i* (ft.* of
the veor before its session.

THE STATE CXlTEBStTV.
Tlie condition of the state university, of
the college of agricultural and the mechan
ic arts, and of the North Georgia agricul
tural college, is shown in the accompanying
report*.
Tlie receipts for 1876-7 were $41,529.54,
which, with the felance on liand July 1,
1876. made tlie revenue for the year $46.-
-518.80. The disbursements were $34,-
886.44, leaving tlie balance on hand
July, 1877, $11,905.19, which, with
scrip fund and tuition due, would run the
balance to $15,000.00. The amount of $15,-
000.00 voted by the general assembly to
supplement the experimental and mechani
cal departments of the university has been
received, and judiciously used as far as ex
pended.
, For the year 1877-78,die receipts not includ-
ng the lialaiice from the previous year, were
$33,862.61, and the disbursements, includ
ing purchase of ap|??aratus. were $33,206.96,
leaving a cash 1 Balance of $9,686.79, belong
ing to the library, apjianitu*. land scrip and
geueral funds. The report gives the detail
of receipts and expenditures, and says tliat
leaving out the ex]acnditures for ap|>aratus,
the total disbursements were $07.22, in ex
cess of the total receipts, and including re
funded tuition. $990.f01ess than tlie appro
priation made in August, 1877.
The decline in the number of students,
and in consequent income from tuition,
-aused the I Board of trustees to examiue
closely into the causes of such decline.
There is no reason why this venerable and
illustrious institution should fall into de
cadence, but, on the contrary, every g??Bod
ground for its increasing in usefulness and
irosperlty. The university has an able and
ull faculty; it is provided with $22,500.00
vorth of up|>anitus for the instruction of
science; it presents facilities for the educa
tion of our youth surpassed by no college ip
the country. In the increased number of
pupils in attendance, there is an indication
of a more prosperous condition.
The plan of utilizing the public buildings
at Milledgeville, by establishing in them a
branch agricultural college, like the one at
Dahlonegu is one thiff presents strong
merits, and is ro*|>ectfully brought to thy
consideration of the general assembly. To
show the value of the Dahloncga college, it
may lie stated that the re|Bort of the presi
dent, submitted June the 10th. 1878, and:q>-
provetl by the bciard, for the scholastic year,
shows that three hundred pupils received
iustructioa* in the various detriments of
the institution, at a total expense of the
small sum of $4,440.00. If like favorable re
sults can lie reached by the establish
ment of a similar institution in
the unoccupied public buildings at Mil-
ledgeville, it would be both a wise policy for
the state and a grateful favor to the citizens
' the old capital.
THE LUNATIC ASTLCM.
The rerBort of the trustees of the lunalic
a*yluiu for the year 1877 is very satisfactory.
The appropriation wa* $107,250. The bal
ance on hand at the beginning of the year
was $1,965.36. The expenses of the asylum
for the year were $81,250, leaving $26,000 of
the amount *ni.ropri;ffe<| undrawn from
the treasury. Tlie exist jier tsapito of main*
taining the institution was 36 63-100 cents a
day. against 37^ cents the year before. Tho
number of pulients wa* 673 at tlie close of
the year, against 006 the year before, being
??? increase of 68 in number. Accoiumoda-
ns were added during the year for about
136 additional |>atients, the capacity of the
institution being cnlargtHj to aliout 80??|
patients.
The death of Dr. James F. Bozeman, for
i e years the president of the board of trus
tees. during the year 1871, was a loss to the
institution of u manager distinguished alik
by a thorough conception of the needs o
the a*ylum, superior executive manage
ment, and a Christian public spirit.
For the ten months beginning December
18ii, and extending to September 30,
187a, the trustees r??q??ort tip? ??XpeiUMQ8 $73.-

the 1st of October, 1878, the number of
patients wo* 742. The exc use jmr capita

will thus be seen that the lumingoniLmt

eral a-seinhiy for thy ?2 ipontlis from
December I, 1876, to October i, 1878, $40^

treasury. This large saving is due to the
rigid economy used by the Isiartl. The trus
tees ask |ieruiL-8ion to use $25,000 of tliis
amount to enlarge the buildings for tlie
colored patients, and to finish a number of
rooms in the main building, that may be
mude availably, and other improvements.
Tlie necessity of an enlargcinent of the
buildings is represented to be pressing.

It is well to state tiig gratifying fact as
evincing the improved financial condition
of the state, that for the first time in a
number of years it ha* been unnecessary to
make a teuijinrary loan to meet the heavy
summer payments upon the public debt that
falls due before taxes begin to
come in. In 1877, though the general as
sembly provided for a loan of $500,000, it
W48 only necessary to burrow $200,000, while
in 187e no loon was made. As, however,
the exiBensc of the legislature w to lie jiaid
out of the incoming taxes, and a* $300,000
will have to lie paid on Jthe principal of the
public debt in 1879, a temporary loan will
probably be necessary.
I shall be pardoned for a brief allusion to
the general financial condition of our si
The facts of that condition show that no state
in the union is more solvent, or should have
a stronger financial reputution than Georgia.
Our public debt is but one twenty-third of
our taxable property. The state ha* nearly
ample assets in its two valuable railroads
and other property, if sold, to pay off the
debt. There is a cou??:i!i}!ional prohibi
tion against any furt her increase of oqr state
ilebtednc**, white the annual income pays

yearly from two to three hundred thou

In this financial connection, it is proper
to call your attention to tlie fact that the
present wild hind law needs some amend
ment. The comptroller-general recommend*
that the present law, approved February 28,
1874, be amended so as to allow theco??ff>-
troller to make up a list of all unreturm-d
wild lands and unimproved land*
and upon these issue fi. fa.; zm
also tliat section 891 of the code, requiriti;
a transfer of wild land fi. fa*., be auiende<
so as to allow the state control of zttph fi
fas. Under tlie present law, by which the
comptroller issues fi. fas. on lists of unre
turned wild lands sent up by receivers, a
the state is obliged to transfer the fi. fas.
|Nirties applying, >nanv errors are committed
and injusticed??>ne. The object to lie served
is such a moulding of the law as will force
the owners of wild lands to pay thoir legiti
mate share of the burdens of taxation, and
tlie same time avoid mistake* tliat work
.. rfeiture of property noon individuals,
else put them to trouble and expense t*
correct such mistakes. The matter is ai
impojtant one, and I commend it to the
geueral assembly as urgently needing care
ful attention.
A COLLECTED CLAIM.

Colonel Baugh proposed to Governor Bill

THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
Tlie rp(tort of tlie state school comm

1875, 156,894, and in 1873, 83.677. These
figures show the steady growth of the com
and cover grave legal issues. These Lav.

and other subjects.
THE 1???ENITENTIARV.
The report of the principal keeper of

There are now in the penitentiary 1,239
convicts. Since October, 1866, the???whole

1877 to October, 200 convicts.
The rejBort states that the lessees are faith

THE JACOX AND BI!UX8W*DK hAILROAD.
This important work, now controlled bv
the state, demands some decisive action bv
the legislature. The direct |iecuiiiary inter
est involved in this property i* large, and
tliu imldcntal interests resulting from a
wise and energetic management of its busi
ness, seem, to my mind, to promise incalcu
lable benefit to that section iienetratml bv
this road. It would be difficult to find a
section which embraces a wider range of
production, or which (^assesses such possi
bilities of profitable development Favora
ble rates of transportation, and such general
and iteminneiu encouragement ??* n great
Uno like the Macon gna Brunswick road
could give to Industrial ??uteri.rise in all the
territory within easy reach of it, would add
largely to the value of such property, and
thousands to our i>opulaiioii. It will*be for
tlie legislature to determine whether these
desirable results can be expected a* reason
ably while tlie state bold* tlif. rood ns protB-
erty, fr * could looked for if if was under
ihC control of iMirties who were interested
private individuals.
Even under the state's fortunate owner
ship of railroad property, it is questionable
if such ownership, under ull considerations,
u wise jBoliey. To my mind, nothing i
clearer Gian the wisdom of simplifying and
restricting the duties and obligations of gov
ernment. The great work to be accom
.dished by the state is the protection of life
and property. \yliquor ^hflcqiijtmjmvealth
attempts to act the part of a pro(Hirty-hobl-
cr, entering into coiupetition with private
individual enterprises, we uiay look for
sueli com id ieat ions, and increase of expend
iture, and enlargement of state patronage,
a* will embarrass the success, if it does not
threaten the purity, of administration.
It is a question of large import, whioh is
hefciru us, i??.(r sqlution, hq\v Soon, ami on
What terms shoiild the state relinquish to
the oitizen all proprietorship in ztteh prop,
erty. It Is a question that, to my mind,
lias long been settled, that not u dollar
??? >uld lie drawn from the nocketofthctax-
_ver that could, witli a wise economy. Ik*
efi there; and that an interest-bearing???debt
o heufttt to any Mate that owes it, ami
sooner a public debt is extinguished,
when there are asset* to pay it, the iBetter it
is for the public interest. Feeling and be
lieving this, I atn prepared to advise a long
lea*?? or the sale of the Macon and Brunswick
railroad, under suoh restrictions as will
secure the state against loss am! protect the
citizen against oppressive rates ol transpor
tation.
The rc]M??rt of the commissioners of the
Macon and Brunswick road, herewith stib
mined, shows that for the twenty-two
months beginning -Decetidier 1, 1870, and
ending He tember 30, 1878, .the total earn
ings were $631,911.79, and the total expenses
$554,352.47, leaving as net earnings for that
:riod the sum of $77,559.32. Of this amount
5,000 has been paid into the state treasury.
l}f tlie ex{??ea*es $37,055.74 were paid on ma???t-
ters not Chargeable to ciincnt expenses.
This, addc*i to the net earnings, would make
the sum of $114,5!M,06 over the actual cost of
running the road. The read is In good
condition and the limited motive-jiowcr in
fair order.
During the administration of Gov
Smith, the North and South, ami the Mem-
his Bra>it:h railroad cmnpanic.* having
ailed t???? pay the interest uism their state-
indorsed bonds, said railroads, and all the
property of said companies, were seized and
taken posse*sion of by the state.
Under the discretion vgsted in tlie govi
by the act granting aid to said compa-
t, aud in pursuance of an executive or
dcrof date July 26. 1877, the North am
Mouth railroad was sold in the city of Co
lumbus, on the first Tuesday in .September
next thereafter, for the sum of forty tliou-
ind five hundred dollars. The purchase
???ale failed to jiqv the amount of hi
bid; and having received an offer frm
Louis F. Garrard, and others of said city, t
take said road and other property for the
bid at said sail, if time were allowed
for the payment, I deemed it for \he best
interest of* the state to accept the same.
irdincly a deed ha* been executed by
the governor on behalf the state, conveying
to the said Louis F. Garrard, and hi*
associates, all the property and franchises
opposition to the policy of state aid, I used
great deliberation in mv action. I advised
the company to bring the subject before the
general assembly then in session, but the
session was too near its.closeto jermit its de
cisive action. In the??? repealing act of 1874,
section 2d, this provision, viz: !???Should
any of said coni|tanies claim that they have
a vested right to such aid, and apply ???for the
same to the governor, any citizen of tlie
state may interpose by bill ???to restrain the
company, and the question of whether said
jested right exists sliall be for the court to
determine.??? I suggested to the company
to have the rights of the company tested
der this provision in the courts, and in c
sequence a bill of injunction was filed by
illiam 8. Morris to restrain the
pany. the proceedings being insti
gated by the oouqiany. The
tomey-general was instructed to support
the injunction. The supreme court de
cided that it had no jurisdiction in the case,
and referred the matter to the governor.
The subject thus finally falling to my
decision. I gave it thorough consideration.
The statements of the officers and leading
members of tlie general assembly of 1874,
that iiassed the state aid rejBealin???g act, and
the declaratory resolution that the North
eastern railroad was excepted from the re-
P* a h were obtained and referred to me.
They declared that it was tlie express and
general intention of the legislature not to
apply the provisions of the ??e|K*alof state
aid to the Northeastern railroad. Among
those who thus wrote were Hon. L N.
l ratnme.l, president of the senate; lion. A.
O. Bacon, speaker of the house; lion. T. J
Simmons, chairman of jfinaiice commit tee of

The original aaT*t-ui??nt o?? to ponq>en*a-
i>n between Colonel Baugh and his port-
?r. General A. C. Goriingtoa, and Goveruor
Bullock, was that the state was to pay a re-
of $3,000 to Baugli and Garlington,
comlitlnnal fee of 12M per cent, of the
ATiKrtllff r.r * v <rcd. Other attorneys were
rd*??.-*????ployed auff the pmditional

25 per cent, of the amount recovered. The
attorneys interested were Colonel Robert

Tlia 25 per com. agreed upon
the attorneys, the retainer of $3.60$ being

and cities raised bv local taxation,
under local laws, in 1877, the sum of $100,
153.19, making the entire free school fund
for that year about $400,00.009. The enumer
ation of the school fsqmlation in 1878 show-
??16,319 whites and 197,125 colored; total 433,
444. This:* a total increase over the emt
nv era tion ????f 1874 of 38,407; white*, 19,856;
colored, 21.821.
While there lias been an increase in the
scIkmiI population, there has been a de-
xca*e in the illiteracy in the state,
n 1874, the number of persons be
tween ten gml eighteen unable to read
s 100.444, of which the whites werp 26,553,

a decrease of 20,614: whites, 4,229; colored,

Till* information has stimulated the ^pi
ductioti of fi tod crons to the great benefit
the state. During the last year, the receipts
for the state treasury from the fees for the
inspection of fertilizers under the new???sys
tem. have not only paid the expenses of the
department of agriculture, but left a very
considerable balance in the treasury. The
gross amoani from inspection in 1878_ was
: : 5.235.77; cxj>enses??Bf inspect ion, $11,150.
i.aving net balance of $34,083-47. lHaiuct
lug from this $14,700, the cost of the dej??art-
ment of agriculture, and there remains
$19,385.47 in the treasury of income for the
state from this source. The reports contain
a number of valuable matter* that are com
mended to the careful consideration of the
genera] assembly.
THE GEOLOGICAL SCEVET.
The state geologist has steadily progressed
In the work of a survey of the state cover
ing the western third of the state, and nearly
all north of the Chattahoochee river, em
bracing the main portion of the mineral
territory. Maps have been completed of
man of the house judiciary committee;
lion. George A- Mercer, pro tem. chairman
of same committee, and the Hon. Henry D.
McDaniel, of the finance committee. * In
audition to this, the opinions of some of the
ablest lawyers were given the governor, no
tably among them, Hon. Robert lournhs,
General A. K. Lawton, and ex-Chief Justice
Joseph E. Rrown, arguing the indorsement
ot the bonds as a legal duty.
Even then, in the exercise of caution, I
determined to defer action in the matter
until the meeting of the present general
assembly if it could be done without a seri
ous sacrifice to the interests involved. It
was represented to me tliat, upon the pledge
of the indorsement of its bonus by the stare
l ??? e ??*?????P?? n .v had incurred an indebtedness
ot *>-37,612.97. It was further ox hi hi ted to
me by a transcript of the record of Clarke
superior court, that this amount of claim*
was already in suit against the road, aud
that judgment therefor would be entered up
at the February term, 1878, of said court.
I endeavored to impress ujkui the attornev*
ml officers of the company that thev hum
iot look to the state for relief from* their
???resent embarrassment, hut that thev
Jiould, by negotiating a loan, or rai-*-
ng tho money by some means,
tide a over their trouble until the leg
islature could meet and consider the matter.
It was not until I had become fullv satis
fied that all hope of relief from other sources
was abandoned, and that the whole
property of the company would inevitably
be sacrificed under the sheriff's hammer,
that 1 decided, within two weeks of the
judgment term of the court, to interfere.
I was satisfied that the faith of the state
was pledged to the Indorsement of the com-
pony's bonds, and Incoming further satis-
neu that great and remediless injury would
befall the company, if supj; endorsement
were longer with-h??ld, my sense of official
duty left me no alternative but to give it.
As to the propriety of my conduct in
this matter, I invite the most rigid scrutiny
ol the general *.*???*;tubly.
Ihe road is doing well, and there is every
prospect that it will meet its obligations
and save the state from any loss on account
of the guaranty of its bonds while it will
contribute largely in developing aline iK>r-
tion of the state.
In connection with this subject of state
aid, it may be proper to say that application
was made toinr to ascertain whether the
state's indorsement would be given to the
bonds of the Griffin. MontieeBo and Madi
son railroad, and it was urged that its right
had vested- before the repeal of state aid.
This road was not specially excepted by the
general assembly, nor was there any evi
dence that it intended to except tiffs* road,
nor was it exposed to. liomwTiMe hazard, a*
was the case with ihe Northeastern railroad.
I therefore declined to give the state???s
guaranty, mid advised the reference of the
matter to the general assembly.

After a review of past events, he touched
on the alarmist s theories relative to an

averted by entering into a struggle
with same great and unknown

opinion was that an invasion of India was

of any possible foe, it wa* so remote. It was
true the northwestern frontier of India wa*
not scientifically rounded, and possibly a
foe might lie able to cause embarrassment
by compelling qs to maintain a large and
expensive lorcq thereon. This possible
evff hud occupied the attention of suc

arising which forced It on the im
mediate attention of the government.
