A'tbougb the attorney general baa delivered no formal opinion aa to the power of the aecretary of the treaaury over the reaumption of rpede payment., yet it ia understood that be hold* that reaumption cannot legally be attempted before January 1,1879, and it ie alao underatood that Secretary Sherman will act In accordance with tbia opinion ol the chief law-officer of the govern ment. There will therefore be no for- t of reaumption be. fore tbe date fixed by the reiumption act, and no payment of coin for green back* at tbe trearury before that time. Bat Secretary Sherman baa Bet bia heart on reaumption, and it ia ae- aerted that be will take several atepa for tbe purpoee of aecuring a practical equivalency of value aa between gold and greenback*. Tbe popular idea of reaumption baa alwaya been an extin- guiabment of the premium on gold,and if Secretary Sherman can accompliah that much, be will doubtleae claim tbe honor of having instituted apede pay ment*. Hia new plan ia a*id to conaiat in an indiacr.minate payment at an early day oi tbe current expenditure* of the gov ernment in silver,gold and greenback*. Instruction*, it ia eald, have already been aent to tbe eub-treaenries to pay out tbe ailver dollar* in exchange for $1 and $2’peenbac<s and national bank notes, and to Introduce them into gen eral circulation by using them in pay ment of rmall sums instead of paying out note*. Tbe next step will be to pay out the email gold coins—probab’y tbe $i, $2 GO, and $5 pieces—in many cases of coin diaburiemenla, (each as redemption of coupons held at home.) This will open tbe road to the circula tion of these email gold coins, particu larly |p there is a good deal of com plaint in business circles of an insufficiency of tbe $1 and $2 notes. Tbe gold coins will oe hoarded at first, as the new ailver coins were a year ago-, but after a abort time they will get«into circulation, to gether with a good part of tbe private board that ia known to exist. Aa tbe present premium on a $6 coin tranasc tion ia only two cents, it ia certain that no one will look for a broker’s office lo get the difference. No broker would pay tbe difference, and It is therefore safe to assume that tbe small gold coins would come into general circulation. If so, the result would be an inflation of tbe currency, and a sensible relief to all classes of business men. At any rate, aa we before said, tbe experiment would be a harmless one. If Mr. Sheiman would at the earns time receive greenbacks in payment of duties, the experiment would certainly We eee from a full report of tbe pro- lead to an extinguishment ol tbe go'd cecdlngs of ibe state demccralic con- premium; for in that case no one would vention at Pueblo, Oolorado, that the I want gold.

Tbe people of tbe south are a careless peo ple in matters of this aind, and they ' are not Interested in the grievances of Hunton and Alexander, nor In tbe re sult ol Mr. Dana's charges that J*y Gould Is a thief. They are concerned a* much with one as with tbe other. York and other states. In New York the democrats may carry the state by forty thousand msjwity, aadyat not be able to carry the legislature. Indiana ia gerrymandered even more in famously. Tbe state, at tbs election of 1878, gave the democratic ticket a plurality of 7,727; and yet, under tbe apportionment devised by Morton and his associates, 207,620 republicans were enabled to elect nine members of con gress, while 213,219 democrats could only elect foor members; or to state it differently, it takes 63.300 democrats to elect a congressman, while it requires oulv 23,069 republicans to elect one. The map of the Courier-Journal shows into what grotesque districts tbs state was cut up by the apportionment act of 1872. This set was put through under tbe lash of extreme partisan ship. Gov. Hendricks was elected in October, 1872, bnt before he WAS in-pa ted with the veto power the republi cans had tne old legislature convened in special session for the purpose of euacting this law. They not only divided the state into unjust and indescribable congressional districts, but they arranged tne legisla tive districts so that it is almost an im possibility to secure a democratic leg islature, although the state is squarely and confessedly democratic. They not only defeated the popular will as expressed in 1872, but they put affairs in such a shape that tbe wrong cannot be undone except by tidal wave of popular indignation The senate of the state consists of fifty members, twenty-five of whom hold over. Fifteen of the hold-over eena- tora are republicans, and in the twenty- five districts that elect, the republicans are given at least thiry per cent tbe advantage by the apportionment set. Five democratic districts, for .an exam ple, contain 49,070 voters, while five republican districts contain but 33 018. 8o too with ths lower house, which consists of one hundred members. Two men in the republican county of Lake have as much political weight ss five men in tbe dimocratic counties of Brown and Bartholomaw. And the worst feature of the crime against liberty : a the fact that it perpetuates itself by enabling the minority to elect a ma jority ol the legislature, thus prevent ing s new apportionment But in spite of their disadvantages democrats have inaugurated a cam pstgn with a determination to win. They expect to carry six con gressional districts, and have a living chance in two mo e. The state ticket embraces no higher office than secretary of state, and the. chief interest will be centered in tbe election members of the legislature. Mr. Voorhees is the choice ol the people oi Indiana as bis own snccessor, and if Ben. Harrison or any other man is put in his place after the fourth of next March, it will be because the demo crats are practically disfranchised by republican legislation. The democrats have determined to make agrand eff >rt upset the apportionment villainy. The election of their general ticket by heavy majority is unquestioned, and have faith in their ability to r.— elect Mr. Voorhees and undo the in'a- moua act of 1872 TUB UHUMAN RLBonoirs.

DR. FRLlOM AND JVDON LRBTKB. We received yesterday a Inendly letter from a friend ol Dr. Felton written from the eeventh district, in which the writer requested us 'tone down" on Dr. Felton, giving i reason that he waa sure to be re elected. We simply call attention to this fact to sat our friend right in this ms ter. We have made no personal attacks on Dr. Felton. We have stated more than once that his record in congress waa god. Personally we think him a worthy man ; but we think he made great mistake in making tbe attack Judge Lester’s character in his Csr. teraville speech. When an attack is made on a man that is unjustifiable, always recoils. Dr. Felton knows in bis heart to day that Judge Lester is ss good a man as be ia He is just well satisfied as the friends, of Jodge * Lester the charges he made in his Gartersville speech did Judge Lester more good than harm. He failed to repeat them Dalton a few days after. “But,’’ says oar mend, "yon publish sensations] reports." We can assure him that we have before us at this time, and have had during the canvass, sensational reports about Dr. Felton— reports that entered even his family circle—which we hare not published, because we <io not consider it proper. II he means by “sensational reports" tbe reports we have made oi the dis- cussious between Dr. Felton and Judge L-eter, we are perfectly willing to leave this to those who heard the speeches. We reported wbat was avid and It may not be satis factory to Dr. Felton and his Iriends. We cannot help that It wss tbe result of the discussion, not of onr reports. In proof of this it is only to necessary to remind our friend that Dr. Felton has declined to meet Judge Lister any more. Now if he pnts the refusal to meet Judge Lester on the ground that onr reports are incorrect, we will "tone down” and make no more reports of their joint discussion. Judge Lester wu a gallant soldier daring the war; he hu always been an Honorable high-minded man. When be to charged with being a thief, a lobbyist, a rene gade and scoundrel, the friends of Dr Felton need not be surprised if be and all hto friends dv all in their power to have hto character vindicated by the people in their verdict in November. We have no donbt about tbia verdict. It might have been donbtfol if the character of Judge Lester had not been Very much depends upon the politi cal complexion of the next house. U it to democratic, both branches o! con gress will be in right hands. If it to democratic, the whole'reeponsibaity of opposition to retorms will be thrown upon a republican executive- U it to democratic, the fraudulent practices of past republican administrations will bs made manifest, and a democratic presidential victory in 1880 at the pill* fortified against s repetition in soy torm of the eltctoral villainy of 1876. So important to the control of the next house, we.believe we will be pardoned if we go over the ground somewhat in detail. The republicans appreciate the im portance ol carrying the house u mucb u the democrats do. They see that it is their only hope against aggressive democratic movements—that defeat on their part woold be followed by disintegration and overwhelming disaster. Their office holders are keenly alive to the issue, and the republican congressional committee is gathering in official ssseesments with a vigor and method that wu not equalled even dur ing the palmiest days oi the Grant- corruption period. They mean business in every respect. Even the iemaJe clerks were assessed. The committee hope to overcome the adverse majority oi twenty and gain a balance beside. Let us first enumerate the districts they hope to gain. They intend to carry the third Massachusetts, now represented by Mr. Field after a sharp straggle in the elections committee. This district is generally conceded to them. They claim the fourth Massachusetts now rep resented by Mr. Morse, who was elected by a majority ol 1,000. He is an ex treme hard money resnmptionist, and it to probable that a coalition of green- backers sod republicans would result in his defeat. The first New Hemp shire, now represented by Frank Jones, a popular and wealthy democrat, ia also coveted. Tbe hope of the republi cans wu based on the rumor that Mr. Jones wanted to quit politics, but he hu decided to run again, and hia re election to well assured. The first Connecticut is represented by Mr. Lvrt- ders, whose majority in 1876 wu only 148 The republicans have fixed their glitterirg eves on this district, and may secure it. The eleventh New York, a city district, is represented by Mr. Willis, whose ma jority in 1876 wu only 427. The re publicans hope to defeat him by tbe free use of tbe Astor wealth in favor of one of Ibe youthful scions of that fam ily. The sixteenth or Albany district of New York to democratic, but u full of dissensions as a dog ever was ol fires. The republicans hope to come in be tween the democratic and the green back candidates. The thirtieth New York is s cloee district Tbe democrats carried it in 1876 by 600 majority. The thirty-firstNew Yorkisarepublictn dis tricb The democrats carried it in 1876 owing to s surplus republican candidate. The thirty-second or Buffalo district gave Mr. Lockwood only 409 majority, sod the republicans bope to carry it- a run hope. They hope to carry tbe the fifth New Jerrey by-nominating the present democratic representative, Mr. Caller. This bill will not fill. Cutler will be elected to stay at home. Mr. Bielly’e majority in the thir teenth Pennsylvania wu only 81 The nationals have become very strong in the district, and no one can foresee what the result will bs. Mr. Stenger’e majority in the nineteenth Pennsyl' vanis wu 169. Mr. S’s. personal pop ularity may again save the district to the democracy. They hope to defeat Mr. Say ter and Mr Binning in the two dose Cindnnati districts—a double delation that they will diog tonp to tbe counting ol the ballots. Tbey hope to beat Gen. Williams in the first Michi gan by coming in between the nation als and democrats. Gen. W. is a hard money man. The first Indiana is an obj ct of attack It is a dose district. Garter Harrison’s majority in the sec ond Illinois, a Chicago district, wu 643. He is strangling for s renomination, and the district to therefore in donbt. ‘Car ter is a blatherskite. Mr. HarixsU’s mi jority in the twentieth Illinois wu just 20. Tbe republicans claim the district, u alao the Colorado district, and the fourth California district. Tbe lut named Is the champion tied district of the country. Boumaido Pacheco got the certificate on one ma jority, and waa afterwards unseated by the house. The republicans expect to carry the sixth Maryland, in which Mr. Walsh got 14 majority two years ago. They alao expect to gain the Seims district in Alabama, the shoe-string district iu Mississippi and the Bed river district in Louisians. Hard work, backed by plenty cf money and gcoi lock, may give them the third Massachusetts, the first Connecticut, the thirty-first New York, the thirteenth and eighteenth Pennsylvania, ths second and eight eenth Illinois, the Colorado and the fourth California districts—ten dis tricts all told, or jnst enough to reverse the democratic ma j irity of the preeent house. We do not believe they can carry any ol the other so-called doubt ful democratic districts, unless they' have unusual good luck in tbe way of democratic dissensions or nationalistic movements. Bat whet are the hopee entertained in democratic circles 7 The foregoing is based on the assump tion that the republicans will hold their own in the next congress Is this assumption well founded? We think not, although the democratic congrees- ional committee have no money, no federal office holders as strikers, and no well matured plan of operations. And yet the chances of tbe democracy have greatly unproved within the past two weeks, and the current still sets that Hayes’s unpopularity and the increasing anger cf the “stalwarts" be gin to tell on the enemy in the cloee districts. The democrats have a right expect that the eighth New York district will be n gained. It is one ol the metropolitan districts, and the right msn can easily overcome Geo. McCook's majority 813. The twenty-fourth New York Conkling’s home district, and its re publican dissensions are certainly enffi' dent to beat Mr. Bacon’s majority 710. The eccentric Chittenden’s ms jority of 2S2 will need locking after. No one can limit the democratic possi bilities in Pennsylvania, if the demo crats and greenbackera act together— an altogether possible event. The six'h Indiana will be recovered, aa Mr. Robinson's majority in 187S was only 276, It is conceded that the democr. will gain five members in Q-io, and *rr.jt In Missouri, owing to the npdofog publicans. The Detroit Free Press balieresthat the west and northwee*. will have at least twelve more demo cratic members in the next house than they have in tbe present home. Of the nine.repablieansin tbe bouse from the south, including the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Mr. Leonard, the republicans are not certain of retaining more than Jake Thornburg’s in Eut Tennessee. They are reasonably cer tain to loee at least five oi them. Their ndminee in the second North Carolina district to a negro, Gov. Brcgden having been thrown overboard. Pincbback wants to represent the fifth Louisiana. The negro members from South Caro lina will scarcely be returned. Tbe first Tennessee and the second Florida districts will be redeemed, and so we hope will be the fourth Virginia dis trict. The republican losses must exceed their gains, and nothing short of a dan gerous degree of apathy or an utter want of sagacity can prevent a consid erable increase of the present demo cratic majority. We think it safe to that the democrats will control the new house by not lees than thirty ma jority. This belief is based partly on the dissatisfaction existing in the re publican party, and partly on the hope and strength that permeate the demo cratic racks.

Yesterday afternoon Rev, Young J. ▲lien, LL.D., left for New York by the Air-Line route. Be will sail from New York for China a very lew days. Dr. Allen was accompanied to the train by aeveral of his Atlanta friends. He has been missionary to China over nineteen years, hav ing gone there soon after he graduated at Em ory coll- Ko In 1858. He has done noble service there in the caaae of religion and dviliutioo, and has passed through a kng list of tolls and trials which required a high type of htroLm We are glad to know that he la now on a very favorable position, both lor hia own comfort and lor tbe enlargement of his atORU Of laflu- enoe. He is in high favor with the emperor and one of the mandanna of the empire. Daring his stay in China he has translated for the gov* err,ment the history of nearly every country in he world—a labor whose magnitude and value can hardly be appreciated. Dr. Allen Is now teaching in one of the lead- leg universities ol Chins, and 1* regarded as tue leading literary men among that literary Hia visit to hia old home hu been the i much good a well aa of great pleasure to m He hes by his honest ta.ki created a deeper interest than waa felt before In tbegrea 4 nation whom Ocd bas sent him to tetvr. He has removed many prejudices and falao opin ions as to the Chinese and their dvilixaUoa* He bis been a aert of Chinese missionary to us for a brief while and hu represented his peo ple In their true light. Amid all hia labors In China he places first his duty as a miiiionary of the Methodist Epis copal church south, by which he wu sent and which be hu bom red. This is hia prime work to this be Kinds his energies and uses all tbe power he can com mind At the recent commeneem Emory college, be preached the commencement •ermon and delivered the addreu before the alumni of his almamaier. When ths degrees were conferred on senior day. President Hayxood announced that ths trustees had bestowed on Rev Young J Allen, D D. the high and distinguished title of Doctor of Laws. Ibe announcement wu received with spplsnse which had not subsided before the commanding form cf Bishop Pierce arose. The bishop said he would express too great gratification at the action of the trustees and he then paid a tribute of glowing elcqu*. Dr Allen. After alluding to his devotion to the csuie of Christ In China, be said be believed that to-day Dr Allen wu the foremost nmtlonary of all the world.

With a logical exposition of political principles, this speech wu interspersed with humor at one time- pathes at another, from beginning to end The judge wu TULL 07 ENTHUSIASM. and breathed It into hia hearers; when he ven- UUated the Independent’s war record the houce carried with laughter; but when he spoke the deeds of the men who saved Georgia, iu her dark and trying hours, many an eye wu bedimmed for the sake of the Put. Tbe people the district ere thoroughly sroussd, this time- feel that they have a leader in the field who will bear the seventh to vlc’ory in November. ~ am confident that the mass of the people to day felt that Lester wu HONEST AND TXUB IN HIS ASSEBTIOES, and that the future salvation of the country depends upon the organised democracv. They that this is a life and death struggle in which the people are interested and that t ey will elect on* of the people for the people.
