of theStato, in liU the past
year. Attention is especially invited
to that part of his report which re
fers to the ourohnao.of property at
imblie sale, for the use of the State,
and the disposition made thereof.

PENITKKTIAKY.
In pursuance of the Act approved
Marl'll 1871. till' convicts ill the
Penitentiary have been farmed oat to
diHeront parties, for terms rantfin;?
from one to live y ears. The lease of
Messrs. Grant. Alexander A Cos., ex
pired on the tirst day of April last,
less than one month after the passage
of this act. In oonse.|ueueo of the
short time allowed within which to
dispose of them, tiie lateness of the
seasou, auil tile Keueral condition of
the country, it was found impractica
ble to obtain full prices for tins con
victs. All of them were disposed of,
however, on terms which relievos the
State of every expense on account of
the Penitentiary. In disposing of
the convicts, I sought as far as prac
ticable, to diversify their employ
ment, with a view of ascertaining m
yvhat special industries such labor
could be most benotteiallv engaged.
The terms for which the con
viets have been leased, will
soon Begin to expire and it
yvill be necessary, therefore,
for the Legislature to devise in ad
vuucaa iterutaueut and more satis
factory system for keeping and em
ploying them The present plan cull
1)0 regarded only as a temporary ex
pedient., rendered necessary by the
eondition id our financial and the in
convenience. if not Impracticability,
of securing a better system under the
circumstances. In any iienuaneut
system adopted, care should tie taken
to preserve the punitive and refomri
toitecharaeter of u Penitentiary, and
at the same time, make it self
sustuining a> far as -possible.
It will ainieur by retervnee to the
report of tile Principal Kee|ier, here
with transmitted, that the number of
escapes alfd deaths lias been large
since the last lotting of the convicts.
This results, probably, from the vices
inherent In the system, rather than
from negligence on the pari of the
lessees. Tile escapes have been at
the rate of ten tier cent, pel annum
of the whole number of convicts, and
the deaths at the rate of six per cent.
This, It innst be confessed, is an un
favorable showing for tiie present
system, and clearly demonstrates the
necessity of abandoning it us soon as
possible'
The number of convicts, at the j
11 resent rate of Increase, yvill soon
reach one thousand. It has boon
ascertained that for a period of fifty
years autertui to the. late war, each
entivjot unnfined in the State prison
Involved an actual ex|>endtture from
the public treasury, over and above
the proceeds of his labor, of $219,n0
per annum. It cannot be expected
that convicts can be kept under that
system at, this time fora less amount
than this. Assuming 11ds to be true,
the numiwr I >f convicts which may
rehsonaffly he eXiH'Cted at an early
day, will require for their mainten-j
nude, if ke]>t in prison, an animat ap
propriation of over $200,000. Hindi a
nurilen as this should not be impos
ed upon the people of the State, for
the support of violators of tt|e |ayv, if
|l egn he avoided.
tf \yill thus be seen that the ilispo I
sttton to be made of the convicts un
der our laws, Is a matter of grave
public concern. Tiie attention of the
Legislature is earnestly iuvited to the 1
subject, It can scarcely be hoped
tliat any system which may he miup
ted will bo free from objection.
While I have no plan to offer as en
tirely satisfactory to my own mind, I
I would suggest that in any system
that may tie devised, the convicts
should be plae and undersome one re
spbntllble neinl. rather than divided
amongseveral, and li|at lie. Slate, in
ti|C. evuut it should purt with the la
bor of tiie convicts, ought, neverthe
losa, to retain the riglit of police,
inoiadtnc the right of sii]s'tvising
tlieir sanitary and moral condition,
t heir treatment an<l safe keeping.

Thetrainlier of volunteer eompn
nies organized iri the Stab- is two
hundred and twenty-one. Of these,
one artillery company, eleven caval
ry ami forty-three infantry compa
nies have been armed. There have
been issued to the infantry two thou
sand three hundred and thirty stands
of arms, with accoutrements ji) full.
Inolilded in this amount ur" one hun

issued to the cavalry. Five 12-poun- l

by the State from the Ordnance IV

which have been given to an artillery
company at Savannah.

ing tends so effectually to preserve
tiie public lieaoe as a consciousness
on the part of the evil-disiied and
lawless that government possesses
the |evr to enforce the laws. Hence
themilitia should, to the extent prac
ticable, be thoroughly organized and
armed. Tiie quota received annually
from the Federal Government by the
State is wholly insufficient for" this
purpose. The quotas of fourteen

(pjUiJTni'KINXL A NEX lIMEST,
The Heeretarv of State has been di
rected to sent), jirojierly authentica
ted, to the Henate, where it origina
ted, the ad of the lust Legislature,
approved llurcli 2, 1874, ontitlisi "An
act to amend the constitution of tln-
Btatei” Ari examination of this act
shows that it is applicable only to
such Indorsements of railway bonds
made by the lute Governor, us the
Legislature had "declared illegal,
DMUnlent or void.” A large amount
of tho fraudulent indorsements ami
bond-, issued during the late admin
istration, are not covered by the lan
guage 0 f the act. It is doubtful,
therefore, whether the public inter
est swou Id be subserv' and l>y th final |
ghteii idn of tlici hot a‘nn amendment
to the constitution. It is also ques
tioaable whether it would be compe-
tent for the Lagtslaturq so to ainoud
tin' act as to include the other bonds
ami indorsements to which attention
has just been directed. Tho question
is thus brought before us, whether,
for this and other reasons, it is advi
sable at this time, and under existing
etroumstaneos, to call a convention
for tiie purpose of revising and amen
ding the constitution of the State.
It is generally conceded that such
a convention ought to assemble in the
course of a few years. Indeed, there
seems to be but little, if*nu>, differ
ence of opinion as to the propriety
and necessity of revising the consti
tution; the only doubt lu the public
mind being as to the time when this
i can best be done. There are coi'Lni li
ly many reasons why a convention
.should bo called without unnecessary
'delay: and yet ii must be confessed
I that there arc other reasons, equally
j cogent, why, in a matter of such
1 grave concern, the State should move
with extreme caution. The jH'euliar
condition of the State, Its relations
with the Federal Government, ami
the necessity of aiding, as far as prac
ticable, with due regard to other
Southern States similarly situated
with ourselves, Impose upon us a
grave responsibility. The people,
however, have the right to decide this
question for themselves, and to them
the Legislature can safely remit it.
When this has been done, the entire
question can be discussed and deter
mined upuii its merits. I can see no
reason, therefore, why the Legisla
ture, If it see proper, may not take
action during the present session, for
the purpose of referring the question
of assembling a convention to a vote
of the tropic.
The exhibit here made of the
affairs of the Stab', though not all
that could tie desired, furnishes much
ground for hope and encouragement,
in the future. Our financial condition
is steadily improving, and our great
agricultural interests begin to show
signs of reviving life and vigor. With
the increased production of bread -
J stuffs the (last year, the planting in
terests, with a better price for the
great staple, would bo on a more sat
isfactory footing nt this time than it
has been for some years. Tiie inter
estill the State which seems to lan
guish most is our railways.
EEDEKAI. RELATIONS EOl ISIAN V.
j The chief obstacle in the way of our
I advancement, Ims arisen from the
j course pursued by the. party in pos
i sussion of the Federal Government
| towards tin Southern Slates. One of
i the immediate results of this policy
I has,boon the disorganization of our
labor, and the consequent large in
crease of idleness, vagrancy and
'crime, it lias been erroneously as
sullied that the lately enfranchised
class would not receive just or proper
treatment from the white people, und
! to prevent this imaginary evil, the
mischievous and unconstitutional
! measures known as (he Enforcement
Acts have been resorted to. We are
now further threatened by still great
er evils, in the passage by Congress
of what is commonly designated
ns the Civil Rights Hill. Should this
grout and uunoeessary wrong be in
dieted upon us, 1 hazard nothing in
saying that it will be followed by
the immediate, overthrow of our pub
lic school system, by tiie complete de
moralization of our labor, by great
injury to our finances and to the
holders of our securities, by confu
sion in every department of business,
and by further alienation between
the two classes of our population.
The unwisdom of file measure, so far
at least as t lie Stab' of (ieorgia is con
cerned, is shown by the fact, that the ;
laws of tliis State already guarantee
precisely the same rights to all the
people, of whatever class, condition
or color. Wc have one law for all
for the white mail and the colored
man for the freeman and the freed
mun. It is admitted that there are ;
distinctions among us, but they arc
such distinctions as obtain among uU
people*, under all Kovcrnmnnts and
m all societies, ami such as no gov
ernment has heretofore ever under
taken to regulate by legislative en
actments. That Midi legislation is
unnecessary and can be productive Of
mischief only, wo very well know.
Self-interest., to take i|o higher view
of the subject, would dictate to the
white people the policy of forbear- j
mice, conciliation and fair dealing to
wards the colored race. Even when
a slave, tiie negro was sure of protec
tion and kind treatment, und I low that
lie lias become a fro" and independ
ent laborer, and possesses every legal
right that the white man lias, it is
still to the interest of the latter that
iiis rights should lie carefully guard- j
ed, that his efficiency us a laborer
should be increased, and that his gen
eral condition should be improved in :
all practicable ways.
But its injurious effect upon the !
peace and material prosperity of the
Southern people, is not the only mis
chief justly chargeable to such legis
lation. Tin-disregard of the right of
local self-government, of which it is
the expression, betrays tile existence
of an alarming disease in tiie Federal
system. 'The experience of this peo
ple, during the last ten years, but
confirms the uniform teachings of
history, that power in whatever
hands, is ever struggling for its own
enlargement. During that short pe
riod, the General Government has
violated the liberty of the citizen,
overturned and created State govern- ;
ments at will, and committed other
flagrant violations of the Constitution.
The crowning act in this course -of
usurpation and wrong is the attempt
to stiiie, by the strong arm of military
power, the will of the people of Lou
isiana, expressed at. the recent elec
tion. Iu popular governments the
untrainmeleu exercise of the elective
franchise, and the purity of tiie ballot
box, are at once the form and es
sence of public liberty. The recent {
attempt to pervert the popular will
in Louisiana, may well excite the
gras cat apprehensions. There would,
indeed, be little ground of hope for
the peiqictuity of our free institutions, ;
if such usurpation were Itfet witii
public apathy. Happily, however, it
has produced the contrary effect, and
patriotism limls encouragement in
the almost universal sentiment of
condemnation this grave wrong bus'
evoked.
Tho change in public sentiment in -
dicatcd by Liie recent elections, also
leads us to look for an early reforma
tion of the policy and practice of the
Federal Government towards the
Southern States. If the policy of ir- j
ritation should tie abandoned, and
the people be left to themselves, the 1
two races would soon ejta.iilLU such '
social and busit,ee relations with each
other, as their own pomm, happi
ness and true interest require. In
other words, our people only a.->k that
they be secured in the great right of
local self-government, as it once ex
isted iri all the States of tiiis Union,
but which is now enjoyed alone by
the people ortho Northern States.;
If the Government will but give us
home rule, a revenue tariff, an honest
and economical administration, and
a sound circulating medium, wc shall
not have long to wait, for the return
of peae" and prosperity to all
parts of the country, and among all
classes of the people.
