4 NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. \ DIXN'S DICTUM. A SPLIT INEVITABLE. Inflationists Not To Be Coerced. General Dix’s Opinion of Governor Tilden, Seu- ator Bayard, Senator Conkling, the Third Term Support and Thurlow Weed. The Election Likely to be Decided by the House of Representatives. oe St, Paul’s churchyard is 110 years old, and yesterday when a HeRaup reporter asked the venerable General | John A. Dix his inside opinion of bis old antagonist, Samuel J. Tildeu, he was gazing tender reverence on its moss covered stones. “Tilden,” said the General, “Tilden? Ob, 1 don’t think Tilden can be strong before tho people, even if he were to succeed at the St. Louis Convention. ‘Tilden is unfair, very un- fair, He bas fought «good fight apparently, but in reality it nas been a paper tight all along. He hasn't stopped any corrupt procedures, nor interfered with any of the combinaiions which were believed to be working to the detriment of the body politic. Nobody is in prison, nobody, Look at Sheriff Conner, for instance. The Governor was going to remove bim if Tweed was not caught, Has he cone so’ TL consider Tilden’s speech ut the Chamber of Commerce dinner and that of Mr, Dorsheimer at New Haven as very unfair, The Governor claimed that he had re. duced the expenses o! the State government and drewa startling cowparison between the cost of my administra. tion and that of his, which was really very unfair, The fact is, I found the sinking fund already depteted when I assumed control, aud, although I was unaware of the extent, in my first unoual messago I called the | Attention of the Legislature io it, Now the Lounty money is all ready and will be paid over this fall. Mr. Dorsheimer, in his speech at Now Haven, said that the expense of my last year was $15,000,000, while that of Mr, Seward was but $8,000,000. But we were obliged to raise these moneys to pay these obligations, Bow not existing, It was on this issue that Mr, Tilden won his Aight, but ne cannot do it again,’ Reroxtke—The ¢ DETAILS OF WIS CAMPAIGNS very sharply. General Dix—Yes, indeed, local canvass would hardly bet the conduct of a gen- eral campaign. fore the country. Ho is only known in connection with the paper fight against tue Rings; but, unlike the | comparative privacy of’ Pierce and Polk, bis non prominence will not be an element of strength, because of lato his supporters have made considerable noise about him. I don’t pay much heed to the TILDEN AND BRISTOW suzgestion from Washington, Mr. Bristow ts a very young man and a strong republican, I should doubt the feasibility of securing him on that ucket. Mr, Tilden 1s uo: known at the South at alt, and at the West he ts kuown as a hard money man. Of course he will not satisfy the West. No bard money inan can hope to please the inflationists, and on that rock it is quite probable the party will split. It is said that the THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT would derive its strength trom the republican voters, but look at ita moment, Suppose Mr. Tilden fails to get the Stu Louis saceced in hoisting the name ot Bill Allen, would the hard money men support that ticket? Of course they wouldu’t, They would meet and nomimate another, That would make three tickets in the fleld. Rerorrer—And that means— Genoral Dix—And that means that the election would be THROWN INTO THE HOUSE ot Representatives, no choice belpg made by the people, This is not only possible, but probable. Bill Allen is an sble man, ordinarily speaking, He was in the Senate wiih me in 1$45-6-7—ou! I guess twelve years. Ikuew him very well, and think highly of him, Ho was a regular Benton hard money man then, and thought nothing was money but gold and silver, Now, if he were to be nominated, it would make no difference who was second on the ticket, nor what the platiorm was, there would be a split and a third ucket. Rerorter—The Conkling men appear to feel conf- dent of success at the Convention. General Dix—Yes; but I confess | cannot understand how any ANT-THIRD TERMER can support Mr. Conkiimg. General Grant’s third term idea has Leen vehemently opposed by the men who work the hurdest ior Mr. Conkling. The Conven tion that nominated me was addressed by Mr, Pomeroy, favoring a third term, and by Mr, Conkling, who vir- tually did the same thing. Tt is understood, indeed known, that Mr, Conkiing believed in a third term, and how that he is the choice of President Grant as his successor, if he were to be nominated, it would seem to bea direct transmission of the present admin- istration from Grant to his own, And yet | observe Mr. Conkling is prociaimed as the one man tor the Presidency by gentiomen and journals who strenuously Opposed the third term movement, as originally re ported by the Henatp, However, Mr. Conkling, though strong, is not yet nominated. Mr, Cameron will nd it very difficult to transfer the support of that Peun-ylvania delegation trom one to another, Times are changed. Things are changed. The press and the telograph have altered conditions very materially, and lcontess 1 have never been so utterly at sea in re! lon to probable resuits as Iam now. i; THE FINANCIAL QUESTION ts of great importance. The Western inflationtsts are very sot im their feeling, and I do not believe they can bs brought to help a hard mouey ticket, All the re- {ublicau candidates are bard money men, That is, ikey beli@ve im a return to specie payments—all of Aud the thinking people too, We are a8 @ country getting to it gradually, Jungs ure looking better, The laboring classes are or less troubled, of course, for there 1s but little busiwess doing, and they are making nothing; bat we are consuming less, and although real estate holders af not Very Comiortable I think in general the coun* try is looking up. . Revorrer—Do you approve of Mr, Thuricw Weed’s JPY Davis FLOURISH? veneral Dix—No, 1 donot. 1 think we should for. pet or act as if we forgot all that occurred iu the war Guys. Tt does no good to revive unpleasant memories, und although there are a sew men atthe Soutn, and I am sorry to beiveve a few at the North, who are willing te do so, the majority of the people think and feel otherwise, 1 shall have occasion before long to ex- press an opinion ou this matter, which ought to be restled by this time. ‘ORTRE—As between Mr, Tilden and some West frn man, what do you think would be Mr. Bayard’s thavee? Gen ral Dix—Well, I think very highly of Mr, Bay. ard. Me isa firm, courageous man, and those qualities wil commend Lim even to those who do not agree with his ovinjons Ata time when other men faltered and sielded their convictions Mr. Bayard stood steadfast aut avowed his belief He would be obnoxious to in- flativpists, but very strong asa candidate, 1 do not believe the democrats can carry every Southern State, ut they will bave nearly all, Still, New York will be A uecessity apd the buttle ground, Opposed as Mn Tilden will necessarily be, the democrats cannot ex- pect to hold New York.

INTERVIEW WITH PROFESS0B GOLDWIN SMITH ON THE OUTLOOK—CANADA AND COMMERCIAL UNION—A PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW OF THE GENERAL SITUATION. There are few thinking men who are not at present more than usually exercised over the many and great political and gocial problems which are awaiting solu- tion both here and in Europe With a view of eliciting intelligent comment on them a Hegatp reporter visited Professor Goldwin Smith at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. The rep- utation of the gentleman named as @ political econo mist and a thoughtful student of passing events is knowa to all readers of the Hematy, well as to philosophers and statesmen in Europe, The following | was the substance of the conversaffon referred to, which, at this time, must prove especially interest- ing:— “Professor, what is your opinion as to the condition of parties throughout the world at this present mo- ment??? ‘That seems to be a broad question, but! think it ts not very difficult to answer. I believe party govern- ment throughout Christendom is in @ state of deca- dence.” mark ?* “Certainly. Im that country they bad some time | since a rational basis existing for radical diflerences,"* “How wo?” “There was the monarchical party, the tory and whig party, that of the responsible governament——”” “But the tory party was monarchical in the time of the Stuarts, was it not?’” “Yes, but now it is aristocratic. Since the exten- sion of the franchise and the settlement of religious questions on a broader basis the party issues have greatly diminished; yet I do not say that there are not stil great principles on which parties can bo rationally formed, but the grand primary questions of govern- | ment have been settled.” “Then you do not believe there is a necessity for men to aduere to strict purty lines.”” “Precisely. There is a chance for voters ther in this country to exercise a greater liberty, to give more attention to the iniaor questions of politics, to local matters, and especially to reform im rogard to trade affairs, the Hnances, and so forth." “Do these thoughts apply to our neighbor, Canada, as well ag to the mother couniry ?” “Yes, Tho last great question, that of the clergy reserve, was settled by ffs abolition, and the only rational basis for party there was lost,” “Do you meun to say, then, that TUX OCCUPATION OF THR YOLITICIANS THERE 18 GoNE?” “By no means, It every party issue was settled the camp followers would combiue for self-interest; men whose love of place and power for the chances they give them tor making money, without one thought of prin- ciple, honor oF love of country, would still Join hands for purposes of public plunder.” “Spenking of Canada, I would ask, Are you of commercial reciprocity ?”” “peeidedly. ‘The bill now pounding in Congress, in- troduced, I believe, by your able representative, Gene- ral Etijah Ward, of this city, 18 comprehensive and favors the system every way admirable of the German Zoliverein. 1 should be glad to see the proposed act become Jaw and then the American people coula have achance to observe the beneficial effects of sucn a broad commercial WBion as 1t proposes.” “How about the laws supposed to be similar on: ed anu practically tested ?”? | ey were Leneticial as far as they went, but the last law seemed to be dictated by special interests and | was intended to beneflt one class of merchants at the expense of others.”” “How about the efforts of the Canadians, made about ten years stnee, to renew the treaties then exist- ing ¥”” “The subject at that time caused great excitement in the United States, as weil as over the border, and the renewal of broad and liberal reciprocity was mainly defeated by the Canadian delegates themselves, vecause they believed the politicians at Washington were not inceting (he subject m a fair business way, but using it for party and selfish purposes.” “Will you be good enough to revive the action then taken, so that Heratp readers can fully understand the issue ?”? “Yes, About the 9h of February, 1866, the con- ference between the Canadian delegation aud the Houso Committee of Ways and Means broke up, and the propositions between the parties covered the whole question. ican give you pretty nearly the substance OL the important memorandums. The trade between the United States and the Britisi Provinces should, it elieved, Unuer ordinary circumstances, be free |in relerence to their natural productions; but as internal 8 exceptionaily exist in the United States it is pr posed that the urticles vmbraeed tm the free list of the Reeiprocity Treaty sould continue to be exchanged, subject only to such duties as may be equivalent to that Mterbal taxation, With reference to the fisheries and the ngvigation of the internal waters of the con&nent the British Prov- tnces are willing that the existing regulations should continue Canada, however, wishes to improve the means of access to’ the ocean, providing the assurance be given that the | trade of =the Western States will uot de diverted {rom its natural channel by legislation and no distinction be made between the vessels of the two countries.

Mr. Galt and his associates, Hon. Mr. Smith, Hon. Mr. Henry | and the Hon. Mr, Howland, the Committee of Ways ‘and Meaus, with tue approval of the Secretary of the ‘Vreasury, were prepared to recommend to the House of Representatives for their sacation & law providing for the continuance of some of the measures embraced in the treaty about to expire—vig, tor the use and jeges as cbjoyed under id an the waters of Michigan, provided same rights aud privi- leges were conceded to the citizens of tho United States: by Canada in the waters of the St Lawreuce and its ais without discriminations as to tolls and charging e# proportioued Lo canal distance; also for the tree transit of goo wares and merchandise in bond, under proper regulations, by railroad across the territory ot the United States, to from Portiand and the Canada line, provided equal privi- leges wore conceded to the United States from Windsor or Port Sarnia, or other Western points of de- parture to Buflulo or Ogdensburg or any other points eastward, and thit the {ree ports established jn tho | Provinces should be abolished; also that the bounties | given to American Ushermen should be repealed, and duties not higher imposed on fish than those mentioned in certain sebeduies.

It ts only in off years in politics that saints are per- mitted to be white. In campaign years every man who isa possible candidate for office is brought out in all bis darkest colora. Editors go about looking Into every corner for any man who may be lurking therem In quiet times editors are disposed to praise men for even fancied goodness una to pass their peccadilloes by. ‘Those are times when editors are looking for ‘good fellows.” In hot, disquieting campaign years, when the people are searching for political masters, editors seem to justify themselves by resorting to cruel at- tacks, and, like Diogenes, they go about in broad day- light secking ‘a man,” They kope that by applying grotesque criticism to all mon there may, a the emergent moment, appear to be one man who will stand forth as @ character devoid of positively evil qualities. This method of criticism re- sults from the best of motives. Editors, no less than their readers, wish that their rulers should be men of eminent character and of spotless lives, It ts for this reason that they wince over a business transaction by apolitician to which they would be insensible if it were the work of a mere man of trade, They do po, indulge in vivisection for the mere pain that it will give. They wish to accomplish a result beneficial to the people and to themselves, Editors do not sing mud because they glory in mud, but because they know how fraudulent many men are and because they really hope that the mud will not stick, Editors are seldom evil-hearted men, With Diogenes they may | say, “Ehave scen children in Sparta and women in Athens, but men I have nover seen.’’ They really do want to find good men, They support their own candi, dates with the spirit ofthe every-day social critic who ig fond of saying, “He is a good fellow, but ——"" <?he “but” is a vague element of depreciation, Thuy in the South, papers say:— We support Tilden because bo is the only candidate with whom we may hope to win. In the same manner the Wilkesbarro (Pa,) Simes says that, though BRISTOW CAN BR ELECTED, party. ‘The Chicago Times says: In the South those who prefer to saerifice every- thing for the sake of success in the election are work- ing for Tilden. Bayard, on account of bis States rights views, his Southern sympathies, and his aristo- | cratic origin is naturally a favorite among the leaders; | but these very qualifications make him @ weak candi- | date in the North. The Boston Jost Maryland likes Tuden, but has a frioudship for Bay- ard also, ‘The Hartford Courant, elso, has @ lantern, which it thus turns upon “a man’?:— There ure very many who, while they believe Sr. Blaine would wake au admirable President, yet are forced to the couclusion thut he will not make # strong candidate, 1s doos not help him that be is known to be THE FAVORITE OF TOM SCOPT, JAY GOULD and other magnates of the various Pacitlc Railroad rings. These are not the men who will have the mak- ing of the next President. The Chicago Zribune, which has beon accused of sending its editor to the lilinois Convention for the purpose of ruling it IX BEHALY OF BRISTOW, su, The Convention, as a whole, was’ in favor of Blaine, but the authors o! this plattorm did not want Blaine; they were in the service of another person. Not der- ing even to mention the name of their employer, they formed this platform to denounce Blaine, aud to exalt tho man whuse principles and policy that platform titly represents, . The Richmond Enquirer does not like the methods employed by those who are urging the claims of TILDEN IN ‘VIRGINIA. It says that tho Tilden men are getting angry over enticism of their leader, and adis that— No man in all the canvass, if ever before in the his- tory of this country, bas so beldiy and shameiessiy suvsidized the press in his behalt as the great ‘reform’ are not Very promising of what would be borne by the dry treo. Such prelimimary demonstrations do not atford the best prospect or security o! practical refori In other words, and to conclude, we are forced to the belief that Mr.Tiiden’s peculiar political parity is as- sumed and a sham, and that bis nomination would be & most grievous misfortune for the democratic “party and the country. The Yerre Haute (Ind.) Kzpress docs not believe that Tilden can carry Oblo, Indiana and Lilipois, and thus expresses a foar prevalent in the West 1t is now said that Mr, Tilden’s frienus will object to THE TWO-THIRDS RULE in the Democratic National Convention. They seem to think that he cam be nominated if the majority is per- mitted to decide. The Convention will uot give up the two-thirds raie without a fight, partly because its abandorment would mean the nomination of Tilden, and partly because it isa precedent as old as ti party. The Raleigh (N. ©.) Sentinel does not like the way of RUNTING DOWN CANDIDATES, It says:— The newspapers all over the country are hanting down the men who are distasteful to them as cand)- dates, or who ure in the way of the cundicate of the choice, Leta mau be named and at him they go, cause he diminishes the chance of sume favorite tor the place. The most 1s said against Governor Tilden be- cause he 1s the strongest man and in tho way of the most competitors. Governor Hayes recently said toa Hxratp cor- respondent that Bristow is not much heard of in North- ern Ohio, Murat Haistead resented the Governor's ex- pression. But the Dayton Journal says:— The Commercial criticises Governor Hayes for saying that “In this section of Onio, BRISTOW 18 NOT MUCH M&aRD or.” Governor Hayes stated the exact fact. There is not one republican in five about Columbus who talks of Bristow as a possibility for nomination. And the same 1s true in this region. After Hayes, Morton is mach the strongest, This is a fact, Mr. Halstead, whether we like it or pot, The Rochester Democrat thinks that the masses of the republican party are united, because they are en- lated to fight fora principle. 1t speaks generously of the struggle for a candidate:— ‘The contest ig an open one—free to ail comers A number bave entered the lists and an earnest, though friendly, contiiet is being bro de in. There are the tu- mult and confusion of rivab hosts. There is the en- deavor of many for that which BUT ON CAN WIN. All this1s natural. It is not discouraging. It is the significaut evidence of the vitality of ihe party. Very soon the struggle will cease, aud acquiescence in the will of the majority, full and cordial, will ensue, The St. Louis Globe-Democrat does not believe in abusing men for having legitimate business affairs, and it concludes that people are willing that candidates should make money fairly. It eays:— If Blaine is tho drst choice of the republican voters, a8 wo honestly believe he is, it will be a dangerous ¢: periment to trade hima off fora candidate who merci urchases tho barren Yotes af representatives [rom ide-boand democratic Stat It wouid be weil tor publi¢ opimion to make itself felt on this subject, strongly and promptly. As a specimen of oblique criti¢ism nothing could be more dexterous or offective than some of the articles in the Utica Observer, which bas usually Leon regarded as astrong paper for Seymour whonever Seymour isa candidate. The Observer says :— Governor Tilden is strong to-day in New York in pro- cisely the same quarters where his strength lay in 1574, It mast be remembered that he encountered and over- caine all this opposition two years ago, and that bis suc- cess in the Convention was foli notable demucratic mary lollows primary, and convention backs yon 18 support of Lim, that he has worked them im welt ‘he absurdity of the accusation ought allup vo be its sufficient answer. Mr, Tilden is nobody's ‘favorite son.” MANTON MARBLE’S SUCCESSOR.

Gazette:—“Politicians are kuown by the company they keep.” “The noblest democrat of them all” is what the Rochester Union calls Horatio Seymour. ‘The Worcester (Mass) Gazette calls Blaine a fighting hydra. Baltimore Gazette:—*'The democratic party can win the next Presidential election, if it will only take the proper steps to win it. Thus far it has made very few blunders, and if it will go on as it is going now victory will be certain to crown its efforts next November." Worcester (Mass,) Gazette:—“There never was such ap origival person as Mr. Samuel Bowles, of Spring. field. His last invention is to have Mr. Conkling rise up in the Cincinnati Convention and nomimate Charles Francis Adams! If anything of the kind hsppens our readers will be promptly informed by telegraph.” Utica (N. Y.) Observer:—“The support of the admin- {stration would be of value to Mr. Conkling if he should be nominated, but it will bo used to create a prejudice against him in the Convention. His iriends havo con- ducted the canvass in his behalf with a good deal of discretion. They have not been bonsiful, and they have been careful to make no threats.” Baltimore Gazette-—“But Miss Roscoe Conkling is the true girl of the period. She has been well brought up; her good name has never been breathed upon; she is young and fair; her modest corset board cannot dis. ise the magnificence of her torso; her pull-back is of rial and latest cut. She keeps all low eMawe ata dienes an tte goer penne and ereliaten She is innocent, too. She knows nothing that a well |' conducied young person ought not to know, and when her wise, far-sighted and astute mamma and chape- Tones come to introduce her to young Ciocinnatas, that large-landea young gentleman will be bowled over at once.” Albany (N. Y.) Argus:—The corner stone of de- mocracy is confidence m the people, and this is the secret of Governor Tilden’s great success, He believes in them Implicitly. He acts resolutely and fearlessly in their interests, He rejects timorous counsellors. He spurns all suggestion of compromising with rascalily and wrong,” The following despateh to the Chicago 7imes shows that Hendricks is still in the flela:— Lauaverworra, Kan., May 29, 1876. Hon. M. W. Delahay, of this city, to-day received a letter from Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, in which Mr. Hendricks expressed the opinion very freely that he covsidered his chances for the Presidential nomina- tion as very good and looking brighter daily. He said he was certain of the support of the Kansas delegation, the same having been pledged to him. Referring to the investigation of Blaine’s bond trans- actions in Washington tne Boston Herald (dem.) says:—“‘lt will be seen from the delicate manner in which the investigation was conducted that even the democrats upon the committee are not over anxious to reach the bottom facts in the case, They are doubtless well aware that tf the whole truth com meeting of the Civeinnati Convention man than Mr. Blaine will be the opposing candidate in the Presidential election, and tbat to them would be ‘an event to deplore.” THE WOODIN BILL VETOED. Axsayy, June 2, 1876. The following is the Governor’s memorandum veto. ing the Woodin bill:— Senate bill, No, 249, entitled, ‘‘An act relating to tho local government of the city of New York."’ Not ap- proved, This Dill contains many useful and valuable pro- visions; tt also comtaing some provisions which are ¢x- perimental and too absolut d rigid for the practical working of administration and which are likely to in- troduce confusion when instantly imposed on a comphi- cated existing system, without iime for adaptation or assimilation, The bill on the eve of its passage was subjected to mterpolations which out not to be acqui- esced in, One of them is the clause which attempts to impose on the city a burden of, probably, a milhou and a quarter of dollars in respect to foriner agsessinents. This provision is not akin to the object of the bill as expressed in its title, 1f deemed to be un- constitutional and void, while 1t wonld be of no use to the parties Who have secured its insertion, it still remuins an iusurmouutable obstacle to Executive sanction, it was adaed without consideration by the Legislature, and for the purpose of compelling acquiescence or the destraction of the who.e bit This and other objec- tonable clauses are instances of logislative log rolling, bad in principle, of evil example, and which ought not to be allowed to succeed, ‘the policy of the constitu. tion requires that such provisions should be separate measures and should pe submitted to the independent judgment of the law making branches of the govern- ment. It thi be an equity in favor of the parties to bo benctited relict should be sought on its own merits, Auother provision threatens to impair the defences of the city against fraudulent, irregular or illegal con- tracts. On the whole, while regretting to lose the usetul parts of the bill, I:am unwilling for the sake of the temporary advantages of them before the subject can again be acted upon, to impose its exactions or to incur the risk of contusion in the actual conduct of the pub- lic business of the metropolis, BILLS SIGNED.

BULLOCK’S DEFENCE. ATLaxTa, Ga,, May 29, 1876, To tax Epitor ov tux Hxeaip:— Your paper of Sunday, the 21st inst, has only lately come intomy hands. The evident purpose declared by your editorial comments, to deal fairly and justly with me, leads me to ask space for the following:— ‘The reasons that influenced my judgment and my action in 1871 were given to the public by me the time and need not be now repeated. That those reasons were well founded I had no doubt then and have none now, But tho surrounding circumstances ot that day and of this are entirely dissimilar, My absence from tho State did not in the slightest degree impede that rigid or hostile investigation which was given to my every uc® personal or oficial; nor did I intend that #t should, 1 had nothing to conceal, My only need was that a sufficient time should elapse in which the intense polig- ical excttement occasioned by the enforcement of the negro’s right to sit as a member of the State Legisia- ture and to hold office could subsido and pass away, ‘The course which I pursued seemed to be the only one whereby that desired result could be attained, The policy that I adopted was certainly wiser than to have continued a hopeless coutest here, the only re- sult of which would have been to have brought upon the State and country a murderous domestic warfare, I can now congratulate myself that although my office was banded over to my successor witbout any special preparation for that purpose every record was found complete, and while there were but ten cents found 1n the treasury of my predecessor my successor was amply supplied with funds, and every dollar and every bond was duly accounted for, ‘The report that £ made to my successor of my transactions under the fiscal laws of the State has never been discredited, Although assailed on aimost every point nothing vul- berable was found, aud it standsgto-day verilied and ante versally accepicd. Ttecl jusufied im saying of myself, even at the risk of seeming to. be egoustical, that, impelled by business connections, I adopted Georgia us my home before the war and was here during the war, and, up to the hour of my inauguration as Governor, I was in charge of private aad corporate interests where the pecuniary rust reposed in me far exceeded in amount any that were subsequently exercised by mein vehalf of the State. And until political animosities were engen- dered no word of suspicion or censure was ever uttered against ny personal or official integrity, In the editorial to which I refer you say :— i He is accused of paying to an imaginary Tennessee car company $40,000 for cars that never were delivered while he was Governor. * To this I reply that the Tennessee Car Company was not an “imaginary” but a bond jide corporation, with well known and responsible officers and stockholders, extensively engaged in the renting aud sale of cars, My convection with the transaction was the official ap- proval of a contract made y and between the State road and the car company, ai! contracts over $3,000 re- quiring the indorsed approval of the Governor. ‘If that contract was not {uilfilled the car company should have been sued and compelled to respond for damages, Cara furnished by or bought from the Tennessee Car Com- pany during my administration are running on the State road to-day. Mr. Bullock now claims tliat he has been ready to go to Georgia at any time during tke past two years. yet he does not explain why he did not earlier seek his vindication, Officers, attorneys and agents of the State have fre- quently corresponded with me during the past three years, and sought information and assistance, to all of Which 1 have respoaded in a manner pronounced by them to be entirely satisfactory. 1 have met them personally und assisted them in New York at their re- quest, and they were iniormed that 1 was ready and willing to come here whenever it was desired that I should do so, There bas never been a day nor an hour since my Sesigay ‘on when I have not been accessibie either directly or through my attorneys here to any request trom the State authorities. tu seem to have confidence in his abil- ‘Tne people of Ath ity to prove that he he is charged, and vi rr to the amount of $1,000,000, But whether he is innocent oF uilty the very fact that he is accused ix a morsification jae American people. For the first time in oar history * a +t hus an ox-governor under arrest for frau Iam sure that the mortification of the American people in the aggregate does not exceed, even if i may equal, that which | experience. Butl have the ‘con- solation of knowing that I um the occasion and not the cause of it, Ifthe republicans of this State had beea ungenerous or vindictive this spectacle might have beon on exhibition at an earlier day. We do not forget that, when, in 1868, my anti-reconstruction democrati¢ predecessor in oilice refused to nize the enfran- chisement of the negro and the reconstruction acts of Congr he fled from the State gnd took with him the State seals, a portion of the archives and all of the treasury, and he remained beyond the jurisdiction of the Staie courts several Here was a prima facie case for ez parte proceedings involving very grave charges. But no one within my knowledge ever expressed any disposition to harass or bring dis- grace upon ex-Governor Jenkins. Thero is no ques- tion of bis personal and official integrity, and yet up to the present hour there has, I believe, never been apy publisbee report of the use made of the largeamount ol State fands that were in his hands when he fled nor of the return of any portion of it to the State Treasury. Under the present administration I find that it is no- torious and not denied that there is an unadjusted or an imperfect account in the departments here of the disposition or exchange made of certain bonds during the past two years, and that a very large amount of meney has been id out of the State Treasury on bonds that had been pre- viously redeemed and reported. In the regular per- formance of oificial duty an executive warrant was ex. ated and issued to the Treasurer to cover this amount, and yet, notwithstanding His Excellency Governor Smith bas the republican party arrayed against him and is attacked and criticised by an active portion of the democratic party, neither party doubt the intrepidity of his purpose or wonld entertain the thought of procuriug against him indictments for ‘are ceny alter trust delegated” or for ‘conspiracy to cheat and swindle the State.’ The performance by me of the official acts in 1870 upon which in 1872— nearly a year after my resignation—these charges are based, was just as cntirely troo irom criminality. Those acts of mine Lave not been the necessary cause r's loss to the State nor of a penny’s ary advaniage to myself. I have the charity to believe that: if they were passed upon by a legislative com- mittee of to-day instead of four years ago, when political feeling was at its height, indictments would not have been thought of. Every bond issued during my administration was in strict accordance with law, regularly recorded and accounted for, and the State received its full measure of bénetit therefrom. Every aollar received from taxca or from the sale of bonds was duly and lawfully accounted for. My official records wed it when [ resigned and they prove it to-day, and | can point with just pride to the material benefits Georgia received from a republican administration, RUFUS B, BULLOCK.
