AUGHJSTA. Q-A.
‘SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 25,1869
The Comptroller-General and the State
Treasurer.
We find iu the Atlanta Intelligencer the
following rejoinder of Comptroller General
Bell to tfcp letter of Treasurer Angler, pub
lished in our columns on Friday morning,
in connection with the previous correspond
ence between Governor Bullock and Comp
troller General Bell, in reference to the
drawing and payment of warrants upon
the State Treasury:
MAJ. pELIi’S REJOINDER TO DR. ANGIER.
Atlanta, Ga., Jnly 22,1869.
In the New Era , of this morning, appear
ed a communication from the State Treas
urer, commenting upon my letter to the
Governor, published in the Intelligencer, of
the 21st inst. Having. no desire for a con
troversy with the Treasurer, I shall not re
peat here the argument in my letter to the
Governor. My confldenee iu its soundness is
not shaken by the keen attack of the Treas
urer, and I shall leave hia reasoning and
mine to the decision of the public. There
jLte some points, however, in his communi-
K'fton that I deem it proper to notice. I
■tied in my letter to the Governor that
tad not at auy time, to my knowledge,
a warrant drawn upon a fund
pyially appropriated and restricted to
and he quotes this
•vd'ute the asper-
Commit Im ,T
■aiAAiie al|r-«e* were charged to
■P^Tv.- 1 re noral A ppropria•
further alirscs that
by me, were
Treasury, and were after
■^rftged to the specific appropvia-
BP/fu: Governor througii the'influence
PBfbf the Secretaries of the Executive
POltmenf. and myself. Now, supposing
EIIS to be correct, it does not, by any
KS»Ts refute my statement, which he
rjlrcrtes, for 4t is well known that the appro-
Mpriation made by said 23d section, is auy
rthlng but “ special” or “ restr 1 ” ifc 13
' its broad, indefinite a» rf as an ap
propriation possiwy could be. What the
Treasurer iwtends to show is, that I ap
proved Warrants that ought to have been
drawn on a special fund, which were really
drawn on this 23d section, and adduces
this fact to prove that the statement quoted
is not true, to-wit : that I had not approved
any warrant drawn on a special fund re
stricted-to some other purpose than that
for which the v was drawn, lie
says the warrants w**re drawn on*23d sec
tion, and 1 approved them so drawn, and
therefore it is uotjxoe that I had not at any
time approved a warrant drawn on a fund
specially " appropriated and restricted to
some other purpose. But I have shown
that the 23d section makes no special ap
propriation, and therefore he has failed, in
my judgment, to prove his point. This is
all upon the hypothesis that, his statement
is correct. But I am not satisfied of its
correctness. The facts, unfortunately for
him, do not sustain the Treasurer’s allega
tions. On referring to my warrant blotter,
I find that the two warrauts in favor of Mr.
Weil were approved and entered on the
29th May, 1809, and charged to the act of
18th March, 1809, under the head of “ Spe
cial Appropriations of 1809.”
I feel confident that neither of these war
rants was ever changed at ray suggestion,
cither hefore or after their approval, and
that their entry to-day stands precisely as
it did on the day they were approved and
entered. In reference to No. 190 iu favor
of Col. Lester, the facts, in substance, as I
understand them, are these: When the war
rant was first presented to me for approval,
I declined to approve it, but after an inter
view with the Governor, and lie had pointed
out to me the fact that the act of 18th
March, 1869, was referred to in the body of
the warrant as my authority for approving
■■■although the 23d section was referred to
warrant, I then considered
H^y^el)yliiLuL , he warrant lire
Unit ai, tin- foul, as
and, although the war-
drawn precisely iu the form
that I preferred, I was unwilling, upon a
mere technicality and mitter of form to keep
a faithful and meritorious public officer out
of his just dues, and so approved war
rant.
I think there was some change afterwards
made in the warrant to meet the objections
of the Treasurer, and it is highly probable
that, in furtherance of the same object be
fore expressed, that Gol. Lester should not
be further delayed in drawing his salary, I
did exert my feeble influence in having the
warrant put in such shape as the Treasurer
would be willing to pay it.
The statement of the Treasurer, that I
protested against the issuing of warrants
drawn on the printing fund for advertising
Executive Proclamations, &c., is not whol
ly Incorrect, but unexplained, would lead
to erroneous inferences. My first impres
sions were that such warrants should not
be drawn on the printing fund, and I so ex
pressed myself to the Governor. But, upon
taking the opinion of the Attorney Gene
ral, and upon a more extended examina
tion of the precedents, and more especially
those of the learned aud upright Jenkins,
who, while this section 1043 of the Code
was in full force, gave his warrants for
what proclamations aud orders he had pub
lished, upon the printing fund, I became
satisfied that it was my duty to approve
the Governor’s warrant drawn upon the
printing fund. As to the number and im
portance of these proclamations, it was
not for me to determine—the law cakt
that responsibility upon the Governor—
and when he saw proper to direct a news
paper to publish them, and the account
was properly certified to, and a warrant
drawn upon a fund not exhausted, given
in accordance with custom when the law
was the same as it is uow, aud in conformi
ty to the written opinion of the Attorney
General. I approved the warrants, and be
lieve I did right uuder these circumstances,
in so doiug. The Treasurer refers to the
opinion of certain eminent legal gentlemen
to sustain his .course. I cannot perceive
liow he is sustained by their mere private
opinions. They are eminent lawyers and
their opinions arecertainlyeutitled to great
respect, but this is simply their opinion
and has no binding effect whatever iiuon a
public officer, particularly when such "opin
ion is in conflict with the official opinion
aud acts of equally as eminent lawyers.
No one will donbt the legal ability of
Governor Jenkins, and I am of opinion that
if it were so very clear that warrants
should be drawn upon the contingent fund,
as the Treasurer contends, Governor Jen
kins would not have drawn his warrants
on the printing fund. So at last, the posi
tion assumed "by the Treasurer that such
warrants are drawn on the “ wrong fund,”
is simply his opinion.
The Treasurer further states that he is
sustained by what lie is pleased to refer to
as a resolution taken from a report adopted
during the last session of the General As
sembly, which he refers to as having been
adopted “ during ” the session of the last
General Assembly, which would seem to
imply that it has the force aud effect of
law. According to ray recollection, no
such resolution was adopted by the Gene
ral Assembly, and I am unable to find any
such resolution among the published acts
and resolutions of that body. If my recol
lection is correct, what he refers to was a
part of the report of a committee adopted
by only one branch of the Legislature; and
not having been adopted by both branches,
It does nofr possess the binding effect of law.
Hence I cannot see how he is sustained by
this, in opposition to the authority I have
already referred to.
The Treasurer asserts, farther, that but
for this section of the Code, 1043, and his
refusal to pay, the printing fund would*
long since have been exhausted, and the
public printing, including the Journals of
both Houses, have been suspended, or the
Public Printer have gone unpaid. Upon
what basis does the Treasurer predicate this
statement? I would remind him that the
sum of $20,000 has been appropriated as a
printing fund for the year 1869, and that
up to this time, if my calculation is correct,
there has been but $7,761 51 drawn upon
it, leaving the sum of $12,238 49 unexpend
ed. uet it be borne in mind that the
$7,761 51 is the aggregate amount drawn on
the fund by the Governor, and that this in-
wuura an Miau luu jrreasurer has refused to
pay, as well as what he has paid.
Os that sum a large portion has been re
fused by the Teasurer, hence but a small
portion of the printing fund has yet been
paid out. But supposing he had paid every
warrant drawn upon the fund and approv
ed by me, there would still bean unexpend
ed balance of the fund on hand amounting,
as stated, to $12,238 49. How then, I re
peat, would “ the fund have long since been
exhausted,” had it not been for the Treas
urer’s refusal to pay the warrants ?
But, I am taking up more space than I
intended, and will close by saying, that I am
wlliing to risk the judgment of the people
of Georgia and the General Assembly In
sustaining the action I have taken on the
warrants under consideration.
Respectfully,
Madison Bell,
Comptroller General.

SUMMER PERILS—HOW TO ESCAPE THEM.
It will not do to trifle with the health in hot
weather. Vigor oozes through the skin at every pore,
and it is by physical vigor only that unhealthy influ
ences can he baffled and repelled. The vital elements
are evaporated in perspiration. Intense heat converts
a man into a self-acting pump, and the moisture that
is pumped out of him is derived from the well-springs
of life within him. There is great need, therefore,
that these sources of physical strength should be in a
condition to hear, without danger or inconvenience,
the extraordinary drain. If they are not in such a con
dition, the Individual becomes languid and low spirited.
The main thing is to keep the digestive apparatus
in good working trim ; for if the stomach, the purvey
or of the system, does it doty thorough'y, the liver,
tbe bowels, the brain, and the nervous sys’em, being
duly nurtured, will he likely to do theirs. In view of
these facts, R ia manifest that a powerful and whole-
