Lobbying in Georgia.
There had been a bill before
Congress, for two or three years
and which was finally allowed to
paps in March 1877, that devel
ops a strong tendency on the part
of Georgia lobbyists to remove
to anew field of operations. The
Federal authorities used the
State Road for a considerable
time after the surrender and the
bill was intended to pay for
the State for the time that mili
tary authority controlled it, when
the State should have controlled
j her own property.
Cel. Baugh was Superintend
! ant'under Provisional Governor
j Johnson. He made a contract
with Gov. Bullock to carry the
! claim through and was author
| ized to get per cent, of the
amount with a cash payment of
SBOOO, to be deducted from the
12i per cent, to he afterwards
oollected, for his services. Gov.
Bullock was always extravagant
ly generous to his funds, for he
told Avery, tlidSflailroad contrac
tor, that “lie was on the make”
and thought it fair to “divide
with his friends”
When Gen. Gordon was elect
ed, Baugh and Garlington pre
sented the necessary papers to
him to introduce a bill into Con-'
gress. Col. Alston then got, into
the firm also. Why so many
parties got mixed in it is a little
surprising as Gen. Gordon advis
ed the State against paying claim
agents in Washington, saying
“that it is a public claim of Geor
gia and I have the strongest con
fidence I will carry it through on
its merits and its merits alone,
without such extraneous help.”
(Yet Alston and Garlington were
paid as lobbyists.)
The claim was called up sever
al times—sometimes Gen. Gor
don was absent, sometimes other
parties were absent, but nobody
knew that Messrs. Garlington
and Alston were in Washington
to lobby the claim until it was
passed.
It is a little singular that they
should he kept so quiet about it,
for I have heard nearly every
other member from Georgia, in
the House and Senate, say “they
knew nothing about the lobby
part of the work” When it came
to the House, the Representa
tives “put it through on its mer
its alone.”
'l’he bill passed, and all was
| quiet until Gov. Colquitt took a
trip North, came home with re
j ceipt for the money and before
|it had seen the inside of the
Treasury $30,000 was drawn out
1 on his own warrant to pay Messrs,
j Alston and Garlington. (The
! report was current in Atlanta,
! that these gentlemen were in
debt to certain parties, and every
body got paid, and Ponce reiynod
in Warsaw." 1 ')
Then we heard that Alston got
the bill through in a day or two.
It was set down as “a remarkable
job—that he took hold of it, put
1 it through the House and Senate
and sent it to the I'resident in a
day or two?'
Now, I desire to know who was
lobbied ? The bill hung fire in
the Senate several veals (because
it was a Senate bill) and the
members of the House will testi
fy that there was no time to lob
by in the House as it passed in
(he closing hours of the session.
Instead of passing on “its mer
its alone,” it passed on Col. Al
ston's merits, and lie and Col.
Garlington got the pay.
There is small comfort to a
member of Congress, to interest
himself in a measure for the sake
of its “own merits,” and see a
fourth part of the sum paid over
to outsiders. Gen Gordon as
above stated “said it could pass
on its own merits ,” Ihe House
passed it on its “own merits"
and yet Col. Alston “did the
work” and lie and others got the
pay.
Gov. Colquitt exceeded his an i
thority to pay that money; there :
is no doubt about that; ho strain
ed at a gnat and swallowed a cam
el. He was so everlastingly par
ticular, he could not pay some af
torney’s without laying (lie
matter before the legislature, but
in this case, “after the Senators
came home,” he drew the money
from the treasury, (as stated at
the time and not contradicted),
which is contrary to the law, and
paid it himself. The Governor of
the State endorsed and paid the
lobbyists. He did not wait until
the people or their representa
tives decided the matter—lie did
pay it, and the result was, the
Slate locked the treasury with n
double lock, and made “lobbying
a penal offence.”
Accordingly the place of oper
ations must be changed. Wash
ington is the charming spot where
these “spoliators” love to congre
gate. Some of them went there
last October and stayed until con
gress adjourned. Others made
Hying trips.
You now see the effort to make
lobbyists respectable in Georgia
—you see how the crowd gathers
around these men—you see how
they advocated Trammell—they
do not fail when Lester calls.—-
These imported speakers declare
these “retainers” to he right.
The people must watch their
interests!
The people must watch their
treasury!
The people must watch their
representatives!
The people must watch their
congressmen!
The people must watch all the
balance who serve them in an of
ficial capacity!
If '•'lobbying is a penal cli •use”
in Georgia, make every man who
offers for an office, or who endor
ses an officer, qualify himself in
this particular, if it becomes ne
cessary. I suspect you will see
big efforts to “bulldoze” the leg
islature next winter, but it is your
interest to Watch!
Judge Lester and the State Hoad
Lease.
Judge Lester says he received
a fee of one thousand dollars from
Governor Brown. lie admits
the receipt, but he says he did
not speak to a member of the leg
islature, and therefore did not
lobby. Jle says it was right and
he would do it again.
Governor Brown testifies on
oath that he paid $21,000 to
newspapers and attorneys to in
fluence the public and the legis- j
lature, to consider the lease in a
favorable light for his side of the
question, lie gave $12,000 to
newspapers and the balance to
attorneys, whose receipts he was
wise enough to keep.
Judge Lester gave his receipt
and it appears in the evidence,
and which Judge Lester now says
was given for service in the
courts.
It will be remembered that the
lease never reached the courts— I
the legislature was made to see
its “fairness and justice,” and it
was ratified before a single.case
could even be tried in the courts.
If Judge Lester did no service
(for which lie engaged to Dover*.,
nor Brown) lie either deceiver*
that astute financier, or agreed
“make believe” with the legist J
turo, and there was nothing to crS
; but to “take the money.”
What, does Governer BrowiVl
say ? Mr. Peeples asked him if
these attorneys and lobbyists
were hero (Atlanta)all the time 't
“Well,” said the Governor,
cept one who lives in your counts
(G wim i e 11), t hey we re en gaged i I
talking to the legislature, ?l
put no limitation on them in thisv
matter.” '
He expressly says that George
N. Lester was there all the time
talking to the legislature.
Governor Brown believed he
was honorable enough to comply
with his written contract, and
was well satisfied with the results.
Judge Lester says ho was paid
SSOO when he engaged to Gover
nor Brown. Why did he take the
remaining SSOO, when the time
was up, if there were no cases to
be tried in the courts ? “He that
runs may read”—for he
did the service he bargained tel
do or he deceived the Governaifl
who it is fair to say is rarely gtlH
led by a practitioner in any eapM
city.
[No. 13.
Judge Lester’s receipt is word
ed thus: “Received of Gov.
E. Brown for professional service
and retainer, etc.” J
Where did the “retainer” leavdj
off, and where did the “profes
sional service” begin ?
J udge Lester wrote a letter to
Hon. Tyler M. Peeples, explain
ing ( lie matter in 1870, which ap
pears in (he evidence. But he
never explained away the receipt
nor professional services, lie
does say if Gov. Brown hired him
to lobby, he ought to pay the mo
ney hack. Wo think so too if he
deceived the Boss, for Governor
Brown swears ho did (ho work
(as he believed) and nobodyi
doubled it at the time.
It is a question to he settled,
which was the worse, to take
pay or do nothing (with the mntfff
ney in Judge Lester’s pocket) kuj
ter he agreed to do so much for afl
specified sum ? It is like the pro- ™
Idem in the Bible, about the man
who promised and didn’t go, and
the man went after he refused to *
go.
Why did Governor Brown pro
test against showing those names
and receipts ‘l
The lease had been ratified four
long years—there was no inten
tion to break the lease in 1876.
The inquiry was only made to see
where the bribery and corruption
existed.
The people demanded an en
quiry, they desired to see who
had taken bribes hC.
not, and the 'f^oMhpes.
Not so, the Atlanta 'Constitution
and Judge Lester. The moneys
was found in their pockets—and™
they stand out to the world em
blazoned with the record of thai£a
time of search and exposure.-—-
Yet Gov. Brown desired to shield
these attorneys, of lobbying rep
utation; he stood out boldly for
some time, and finally gave up
their names under protest. These
receipts would never have seen
daylight, if the committee had
not demanded them. Gov.
took time t<> think lie afcuHH[
dinner on tin- momentous qjH||||
lion, ;md finally entered a uHH
. test, and threw the
little missives down before
[ committee. Gov. Brown
it was a dirty transaction.
knew he placed a brand on each
forehead—but public opinion de
manded the eqposure of the few
to exculpate the many attorneys,
who throng the capitol and the
entire State of Georgia.
J udge Lester says he did right.
Alas! I hat the terms of right and
wrong become so irretrievably
mixed in all such cases, that you
cannot separate them without
disgracing the party who uses
them. yTi
Judge Lester says Judge WjYTd
liam Dougherty took the same flf
fee. Happily he has a son,
can vindicate his memory, and
says Judge Lester errs in j
statement, “lie took no suclijfee.’®HS|
