Governor thinks creditors are at once fully entitled

and no reasonable debtor would complain of it.:

the Judgment should act as q lienupon the debt

The Governor speaks warmly of the assistance
fn1nished by TIE Federal overnment to the suffer

Swayne has provided d sufheiency for the issuing
of thousand rations daily during the present
month, and every effort is being made, not only by
General SwayH but BIZ the State agents, to allie
viate the condition Of the suffering poor.
u Governor Patton complains that there il much
iawlessness in The State of Alabama, and strongly
urges an efficient military organization in order to
put it down. In some localities there are regular
bands for purposes Of violence and plumber. If
the militia had been organized. the body of. fifty
armed gusrrias would not have attempted their
outrageous attack upon a steamboat on the Tom
sbigbees OF, II the1 hal, would have been immedi-
|atel5 arrested and brought to punishment. AS it
