The addition to the south end of the Capitol, which
was authorized l»y an act of the General Assembly,
passed on the 20ih day of lice. J834. and for the erec
tion of wiiich a contract wds entered into betweeu the
State and Messrs. Smith. Tucker and .Marlow, has been
completed. So far as I cun judge, the work hits been
well executed, and the contractors have received the
sum of $1££00, the whole amount of the appropria
tion. lint there still remains a balance of $1,528 63
due to them, for the payment of which an additional
appropriation should be made, llooides this work,
some repairs and extra improvement* were deemed ne-
CC'sary to preserve the house against injury from the

their place* supplied with porches nnd colonadcs, cor

In couformity to a resolution of the lost session of
the Legislature, the pul die square around the Capitol
bn* been improved, by levelling the surface as far as
wax deemed necessary at this time. That part of the
resolution requiring trees ami shrubbery to be planted,
has no: been executed, because, before that is done
there should be a good enclosure to protect them. The
'area or the present earnout is too large. It ought to be
contracted to about 210 yards square, and enclosed
with a good neat and durable fence.
The committee appointed tocuntract for, and super
intend the building of a house for the residence of the
Governor, uavs not been able to procure an underta
ker. Two cutises have conspired to prevent them—the
inadequacy of the appropriation by reason of the en
hanced value of materials and labor, and the great de
mand, every where, for architects and mechanics.
1 he only propositions that were submitted, to erect a
building of proper dimensions, and in good style, were
at the prices of 24 and $18,000. The sum appropri
ated to build and furnish was only $15,000, and con-
tcqueutly neither of those propositions could be ac
cepted. It will br for the Legislature now to determine
whether an additional sum shall be approp luted, to
cariy into cfiiict the object contemplated in the resolu
tion of the last session.

I would respectfully invite the attention of die Le-
ci-lutur.' to tfie amendment of the first section ot tin
third article of the Constitution, which provides lor tin-
establishment of a Supreme Court for die Correcdon
of Errors committed in die Superior Courts. The ju
dicial system of Georgia (if that can be called a system
which luu no head) ha* always been an anomaly in ju
risprudence. There are now ten Judicial Districts,
having a Judge to preside in each, who is independent
of thu other* and subject to no control. Ilis opinions
are the law of die District during the time he shall
continue in office, but no longer—they do not bind Ills
successor. These Judges often decide the same ques
tion difterendy, so that what is law in one District is not
law in another, and, as a matter of course, we have no
such thing, in fact, ns laws of Georgia, although die
Legislature have enacted, and do annually enact, wliat
purport to be such. It is a matter, therefore, of the first
importance, not only to the interests of the people, bv.i.
to the character and honor of the itiatc, that you shouk
at the present session organize the Supreme Court,
and thereby establish a head to direct the operations of
the Judiciary and render the law uniform dironghout
die State. Apart, however, from any reasoning on die
subject, the Constitution, wiiich we have all sworn to
support, is imperative, and declares that “ die Judicial,
powers of this State shall tie vested in a Supreme
Court for die Correction of Errors,” &c. Ax. Thin
Court can be organized only by the Legislature, anc.
so long as they fail to do it, so long will the people be
deprived of tiieir Constitutional right.
