At frequent times efforts were made to get him to address the members the legislature upon the current events the day. Yesterday, he gave his consent make them a speech, and during the morning session of the legislature a resolu tion was passed in the house tendering him use of tlie hall during the evening. The announcement that he would speak had the effect of bringing out a large crowd, and on last night the hall of the house of represen tatives was crowded until standing-room was not to be had for love or money. At 8 ??????clock General Toombs entered the hall and mounted the speaker???s stand. As he was well-known to all who were present, an Uitroductloirto the audience that had as sembled to bear him was unnecessary, and at once commenced the duties that were before him. He spoke as follows: OnttAL TOOMfcj???s srEECH. Fellow-citizk.vs???J undertake the duly which you lutve called me with some re luctance to-night, mainly on account of my own physical disability. The condition of the country suggests the subject. It Is the subject that occupies all men's heads and men???s hearts. It is the public distress that is everywhere pervading the country, without reference to section, climate or pur suits. Hence, it becomes your duty as rej>- resentatives of the people of Georgia to give your best exertions and efforts to searching out its causes, and, as far as possible, to al leviate our distresses. This general distress not the work of Providence. Old mother earth lias not forgotten her children. Looking over this broad land from tlie Atlantic to the Pacific, from the lakes to the gulf, general prosperity, abundance and identy exist in all sections of the country*except that portion which has been devastated with that terrible scourge. Elsewhere we have had health and abundance. That is a general rule; of course there are exceptions. That Is the general result all over the continent. Ye??, in the midst of all there is bankruptcy, tur moil and discontent pervading all classes of the people. Why? What is the reason, when nature is so beneficent; when indus try has been devoting itself to the prosperity of the country; why are not the people luippy and prosperous? Crimes are every where; discontent prevail* everywhere. As ' have told you, it is not the act of God; it not the deed of Providence, but it is bad government tlmt is the fouutain of all jour woes.

Tlie tarifl was brought down iff per ecut. Every <Ict??artmerit of the government was run with honesty and in tegrity. But the men of tlie eastern states did not desire that state of things to con tinue. From the time our fathers sat with them at the council board at Philadelphia ami nil through the struggles that followed down to that day, they wanted carry ui the government on a different pie. They wanted protection for all their products and all their manufactures. They wanted to bring inouey into the reasury and apply it to their own benefit. They sought to smuestcr the public lards and put them to their own uses, and not those of the people of the United ??States. ??? : \ , j registry, and who will declare that he Tht tioLihing._ih<^ did. was to commaure poaeiblo that Ulty 1 will Tiavo resided ra Georgia one year | c ?. rr y??? ,,K out that policy.

When they got into possession of the govenment, the first object was to overthrow thc south, to overthrow her institutions, to invade her soil and to murder her inhabitants. And to ellcct this pu pose they brought ail the people they could from Ireland, Germany and the lands beyond the sea. They gut hi of the government seventeen years ago d inflicted ujx>n us the worst race o' thieves upon the face of the earth. [An plause.] Nobody disputes that. They take ail the premiums tor that. [Applause.] They stand out as a reproach to the human race*. They have got so common that the public sensibilities have been deadened. After the war they thioded the treasury with ???ven hundred millions of greenbacks and hundred millions of national hank notes. There never was a government on the face of the earth that could make money. There never was a government on eartli tlmt could make a fig-leaf to covei the nakedness of our mother Eve. They uld draw money from the treasury and appropriate it to their own use, but they can???t make a dollar, of money, it seems to be the idea of some gentlemen in these days, and when I was a boy they had a good deal of that idea, that if you want money, wliat is worse {he greater number of people in this country don't care any more for the'r debt thauyon do. [Laughter.] They make a little cotton, have a little to start the new year on and then they go ahead. In Georgia you owe $11,000,- 000 of money.. That is your part of the spoliation Bullock & Co. Here are your cities and tdwns with a tax of one and a half and two i*cr cent. You have to go on and pay that. ' In. this schedule, which has been fumisbpd ine by the comptroller- general. it stater that you pay seven mill ions of dollars fU??transportauon, while vour cotton is not wortli twenty millions. That shows simply tbd internal transportation. I remember tlie tune when the people of my section never paid a dollar for transporta tion. They raised their own stock, and car ried their cotton,Jo Augusta and laid in their supplier , and. came hack again with Muncy in their pockets. Here is a system that would have taken a generation to staud. , It would have takeu a miracle to liave*>aved us, and that was the object of our enjbnies. Ruin aroused us. If you started a htUe bank of two or three hundred thousan j dollars you would enter into a copartnership with somebody in New York, and they 1 caught you there. We suffered more tlup anybody else from this S htem. If thisThctory here buys cotton to- y on the Areeta, it will be on the Liverpool rorice-current in gold. It is the fluctuation that troubles us. The lime was when Ij-*w tifty-three per cent, go up and down one time in New York. ???BlackFriday," vL^4* ??*??? uad it wa rn black day for ^*??3 of them. I say to you to-night, genUemen, it is my-honcst opinion from clovutob^crvation, that from the time I came berk, in 1867. from abroad when I had run away from the thieves and radicals, until now^there has not a single sun set that did n< t And the .people poorer than when it rose. Some people have risen, but 1 say to you, iPis my honest opinion that there has nof been a day when the sun has not set upon the |??eoplc to And them poorer than when it arose. They have lived among sorrows and desolatjon*, and they look to you to help them out of this condition. TJie system of transiHirtation is one of the most important of all questions to the whole world, attd it is more important to the United States -than any other nation because of our extent of country. In this boundless extent of territory there is no question of equal importance to the United States and Georgia than the subject of transportation. ??? The great idea when the roads were char tered in our state was to leave everything to competition. That mas the general belief, and it was my own. But it turned out very soon, as a great Engli.di engineer has said, that where combination was possible, com petition was wortlile#. You need not In* blind. That fact has been settled to the satisfaction of all. Here are three or four of these roads that meet here ip Atlanta in defiance of competition, and in defiance of law. coining lip every day and ???pooling??? over you. The newspapers say every day these {teoplc have made no money. Fellow-citizens, it bus been my duty as the attomerof the state for years to look into this business. I sav that no regular industry in the state of Georgia lias ever jiaid like the railroads. The Georgia rail road has made an average of $1,500 per day. It has now $1,500,000, and It has watered it-* stock. . That is tlie waytthe poor railroads are get ting along. 1 Iu thc a vs of Bulloch they built roads where nobody ever wanted them. Like the road from Macon to Jesup???they started nowhere and stopped nowhere. That is the case with the Gulf road. They got a million of dollars, and, of course, built it nowhere with everybody's money. The public went into it, aiid the man who started the road didn???t have a quarter of a dollar to cover his eyes with. These were the roads that failed. These were the roads that didn???t pay. We went into it with the money and they contributed ' the experience, and they come out with the money, and we have the experience. Here we are getting poorer every day. For the last two years the taxes of the people of Georgia on taxable property haave dimin ished ten millions per anpum. We are going down, down, down! There is a great work you have got to do. Let tlie legislature look into it. Let us destroy iTOjhing. We have got nothing 'to deStTOj^ *We tnust' try to save all we have got. Let us do justice to everybody, and start afresh on an honest bottom; start with an honest government; keep honest money, and honest contracts, and the country will be saved.

Governor Bishop, Wednesday, granted a pardon to a man known upon the prison books as Richard Roe, but In society as James L. McCoy. The release of this man recalls a history of a crime which is so full of interest that it will bear repeating. James McCoy was bom in Hoboken, New Jersey, v. here his father, a very respectable Sept a well-known hotel. Young McCoy was a precocious child, and it needed only association with evil companions to direct that precocity in the line of crime. .After a run through juvenile depravity, he left home, and joining a gang of burglars, became an adept in that line. In the course of his wanderings he located temporarily at Cadiz, Ohio, where he was joined by hia One- night in 1800, a night long to be re- membere i by the good people of Cadiz, the house of the cashier of the banlc of Cadiz was entered by four masked men, and the af frighted family were aroused from a deep sleep to find at each of their beds a masked man who, with a pistol at their heads, demanded perfect silence. The cashier, seeing resistance was useless, lay still and asked their object, only to be told that he must give up tlie keys of the oank vaults. The keys were, after some resist ance, delivered up, and, after binding and gagging the family, the burglars withdrew, and when dayliehtcame it was noised abroad that the C'ad'iz bank had l??cen robbed of a large sum of money-???over a hundred, thou sand dollars. It is unnecessary to follow the pursuit and trial of the robbers; suffice it to say four of the five were after a time captured and sentenced to the Ohio ]>enite tiary for a term of rears, and among them was young McCoy, then known as Richard Roe, who was given a ten yearn??? term. After a time all the money ???but about forty thousand dollars waa recovered by the hank, and it was sujv- posed that the missing money was that given by the gang to McCoy as his share. < >ne of the gang escaped, and the most per sistent efforts of the police were unable to discover his whereabouts. A HANDSOME 8TBANOEB. Early in July, 1809, nearly three years after this famous robbery occurred, a distin guished looking man arrived at the leading hotel there and secured rooms. He was of elegant appearance, and was dressed in ex- petudve, but modest, garments, such as are worn by gentlemen of taste. He announced himself as the American agent of an exten sive Englisn cloth-house, which was about establishing agencies in the west. Occa sionally the stranger drove about the city with a bright-eyed little beauty, whose ele gance of appearance and dainty garments at tracted general attention among the young men. While the stranger was agreeable toall his new friends and was always ready to discount them in a game, of billiards or crack the seal of the bottle at Sillery, l*e never introduced his female friend, whom lie claimed to be his sister. The pleasant agent of the English cloth house and his beautiful sister lived an easy life here for about three weeks, and one day went out to drive, ostensibly to a neighboring town on business, and by a singular coincidence, when the roll of convicts was called that night, James McCoy alias Richard Roe was found to be missing. Of course there was a great commotion among thc authorities, aud offers of rewards for the apprehension of the fugitive was wired to all ]x>ints, and guards were sent to all neighboring towns. One detachment of guards traced tlie fugi tives to Delaware, and there lost all track of them. The next day team hired by the stranger was returned here by a livery stable keeper from Ddware, who suited that at about 2 o???clock that morning he had been awakened by the calls of a man asking for the care of a team. Upon coming to the front of the stable he found a carriage, drawn by a team of horses completely cov ered witu foam, and showing signs of hav ing been driven at great speed. The car riage contained three inen and a very pretty woman, and the leader of the party, a large, handsome man, had said that his par- tv came from Columbus on very imi*ortnnt business,mfiintended taking the train fo t ic east, which left in a few moments. lie fur ther said the stranger had told hint where the team belonged, and had given him money to pay for the use of the team, and ten dollara for his own trouble, ami pay for the return of the team to Columbus. The story of this man was speedily communi cated to Col. Raymond Burr, then warden os the penitentiary, which, with the knowledge lie had on* the subject, satisfied him that the Delaware party was one he was specially interested in. When the young men about town learned that their hand some friend was charged with assisting in the escape of the convict. Roe, they were at first indignant that any one should charge such a j*erfect gentleman with being the friend of a burglar, but after a time they saw the matter in a new light, and were wisely silent as to their acquaintance with the man. What specially troubled the prison au thorities was to learn who was the third man who had been seen in the carriage at Delaware, but it was afterward found that young man named Frank Hatch, a son of _ ???foreman pf one of the prison' shops, was missing, and in time.it was discovered to a certainty that he was the third man f " **???* carriage.

We inquired of >everal members if any fact was drawn out that would in the slightest degree sustain the insinuations made against him. We were informed that there was not, but that Gov ernor Colquitt showed by his manner that he was innocent of any knowledge of this fee charged for signing the bonds, and that from his testimony there was no ground whatever for the insinuations. The letter we give above was written by Mr. Hill on October 29th, and addressed to the public. For some reason it has never been published, except in circular form. It was sent in this shape, soon after it was written, to several newspapers ??? in the state, and soon after it was sent off, Mr. Hill telegra 1 hed requesting those he sent it to not to publish it. Governor Colquitt did not see a copy of it until a few days before the legis lature met. This we learn from a member of the committee. The committee will con tinue the investigation to-day. Mr. Mur phy has been requested to appear with his counsel if he desired to do so. We are in formed that he will be present with his at torneys, Messrs. Hopkins & Glenn, to-day. The committee also asked Governor Col quitt to be present if be desired to do so. They will also ask Mr. Hill.

It appears that the hand some stranger, the supposed agent of the English cloth-house, was the burglar who had assisted in the robbery of the Cadjz bank, and had escaped capture. After his escape he went east, and mixed in the vari ous criminal matters, but feeling the nt^d of the shrewd head of his pal, McCoy, coh- ccived the plan of assisting in his escape. To tiud an instrument to assist him in his E lans was his first object, and in some wav e fastened upon young Hatch. Frank Hatch was of good yankee stock, and came with his father???s family to this city, per- hapstwenty years ago. lie was a bright good- looking young fellow, and when he first came here, was a boy of great promise. His father???s appointment as a foreman of one of tlie prison shops also gave Frank employ ment and tlie run of the prison. As Hatch grew to manhood, he became wild and som% what reckless, and was never quite so happy as when in tbe company of depraved women. This weakness the stranger was not long in discovering, and aa soon as possible a beau tiful fallen woman was brought here from the east and introduced to Hatch as the sis ter of the dashing stranger. The bait took well, and very soon Hatch was completely under the domain of the pretty frail one. By easy stages the subject of thc escape of a convict was mentioned to Hatch, but lie, knowing that to assist in such an escapade meant imprisonment for himself, at first utterly refused to be a party to it. Then the dark eyes of the woman and her winning wavs were exerted to the full, and young flatch consented to think of the matter, and was happy with the woman, his destroyer. Finding him plia ble tbe stranger capped the climax l y of fering Hatch $7,000 in m#ney if he succeed ed in deliveringMcCoy, alias Roe. safely out side the prison walls, and safe conduct for himself and the woman to New York city. This settled the business, and Hatch at once communicated with McCoy. ??? NOTHING BUT A BARREL OF SHAVINGS, TOM.???
