Hawkinsville Dispatch: Ilawkinsviile was considerably excited on Wednesday evening last over the report that Mr. P. J, Hodge, a young lawyer of Hawkinsville.and Mr. Thomas II. Dennis, a planter, had been engaged in a shooting affray two mile* from town, amt that Mr. Dennis was dangerously wounded. On Wednesday evening Mr. Dcnni* came to Haw kinsville, and, going to the office of Mr, Hodge, denounced him for failure to keep hi* word of promise,and for * other qualities ptrtseMsed by gentle- Mr. II??nlge, being unarmed, and inking that Mr. Dennis had his weapon*, lived a difficulty in hi* office, but stated that he would meet Mr. Dennis anywhere and at any f jme and settle the trouble. Mr. Dennis accepted the projiusition, and it was agreed they should niiat outside of town that evening on the road trailing to Mr. Dennis???s plantation. Mr. 3If*iga armed liimself with his pistol, luouuteu his horse and rode info the country some three or four miles, ami was returning to Hawkins- ville when he fell in cmn)??nny with Mr. James H.

Mr. Hodge's words were: ???How wilt yoit have it???? With pistols!" was the reply <jf pen- nis. By this time the men hod approached within a few yards of each oilier, and draw ing their pistols began firing. It is sup- *m-*I that Mr. Dennis was wounded bv the third shot. Five round* were fired by each party, when their weapons having been exhausted, the fight ended. Mr. Dentil* was wounded by a tall entering t the fourth rib finder tlie left arm.

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, the ariiitiAl jqti.rrst on tlie same being $710,13,?. Of the public debt $200,000 prinri|>a) becaiuV payable, and woa j*it| In 1878, and $100,000 \v#s paid *77. In tlia year 1870 there will mature $300,000 of the public debt, for which pro vision must he made, a* well as for tlie uii- nua! interest accruing of $708,135???tlie whole amount to be paid on the public debt, princi|ial and interest, next year being $1,- 000,13$. 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. Tlie treasurer, however, has made a supplemental reiiort to the rt- l*irt of 1877, giving the financial operations of the nine months of the vfjjr 1878, to the 1st of Octoiler, which is herewith jjujimittctL From this rejsirt it appeAiv that t!?????????

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.- 291.41, for an averagu of ?25 patients, tin the 1st of October, 1878, the number of patients wo* 742. The exc use jmr capita ???w 34 55-100 cents during the ten months, will thus be seen that the lumingoniLmt the institution has been economical ami efficient Of the amonnt appropriated by tlie gen eral a-seinhiy for thy ?2 ipontlis from December I, 1876, to October i, 1878, $40^ 625 has not lieen used, and remaini in tho 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. Tlie trustees, after consultation with executive and attbmeyrgeii- wages i paving a balance to tlie treasury on the Tift <ui October of. I 295,789 68 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 e expenses, and, in additional, liquidate* yearly from two to three hundred thou sand dollars of the public debt. Tills gratifyingexhibit to all of her citizens, especially to tlie holders of Georgia securi ties, who liava the assurunce, that as the facts of the abundant financial resources of the state, and itagrowingprosperty, liecomc known, their bonds will rise even above their present high value in the commercial or Id WILD LASD*. istance to the second blow.

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.

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.

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.

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 jr., chair- the ho ??iy the United States government. The original aaT*t-ui??nt o?? to ponq>en*a- i>n between Colonel Baugh and his port- ?r. General A.

Other attorneys were rd*??.-*????ployed auff the pmditional enlarged u?? a i??er vent, not to exceed 25 per cent, of the amount recovered.

They present full the work of this important department, a- show a valuable aggregate of result T department has proven beneficial to the agricultural interests of the state, and ha* undoubtedly made tlie state reputation abroad for ???farming progress. Tlie collec tion of farm statistics and planting exjBen ences has educated the farmers ;n improve" methods of agriculture, in the use of lab. saving implements and in the general plant ing of better seeds. The inspection of fertil izers ha* saved a amount of ni?? to the farmers in the exclusior inferior cotntncrrlal manures from market*. The railroad statistics of the s spent for foreign provisions has shown dependence upon oilier states, and the lar? amount spent abncul for home snpplii 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. CONCLUSION.
