The report of the Attorney General contains n statement of the' business 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. Tito Attorney General that (lid Governor, in convey hip’ certain property thus purchased, he author ized to warrant, on the part of tlm State, the title to the purchaser.

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. YOU' N'TKEU < OM I'ANIES. 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 dred inuskdo furnished to the Agri cultural College at Athens. Four hundred and sixty pistols, and un 1 equal number of sabres, have been issued to the cavalry. Five 12-poun- l der NniKileon guns have been drawn by the State from the Ordnance IV fiartmeht at Washington, four of which have been given to an artillery company at Savannah. fixperieuce demonstrates that noth 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 vears -from is<;i to ls7l, exclusive tynre inquired tg supply the llfty-llvi' j companies already untied, and to fur nish the Agrioulthral (,'oliege, as be fore stated. The companies organ ized, but now tinarmeu, must there-> fore be disbanded, unless i an appropriation be made by the I legislature to supply them wit 1 1 arms.

(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. .JAMES M, SMITH.
