RED1STR1CT1NO THE STATE.
There seems to be a (trowing opin
ion in various quarters that it will be
necessary for the Governor to call the
legislature together for the purpose
of reitistricting the State. The bill
pass$ft by Congress and which gives
us an additional member, makes no
provision whatever for tliedetnils and
regulations under which theCongress-
nmn at large is to lie elected, but re
mits the matter to the existing State
laws providing for electing Congress'
men at large. Tn this State there is
no law providing for any such elec'
tion. All the laws we have in (leor
gin regulating flic election of Con
gressmen look solely to election by
districts and the code declares that
they shall be elected by the voters of
1 lo ir rosptSitive districts. Under this
view of the case it is doubtful whether
a local election for Congressman at
large can he held in Georgia without
further legislation, in addition to
this there are some other considera
tions v. hicii call for a redistrleting be
fore the next election. Tn tho first
place the people of the respective dU-
1 riots have a right to vote for the next
Congressmen hv districts, based upon
the population as shown by the last
census. If there is for instance an ex
cess of population in the Oth it is a
l ight which the people have to vote for
tlie member who is to represent them
next time without interference of votes
of the excess. For instance, suppose
there are twenty thousand more peo
ple in a certain district that tho ap
portionment contemplates, they will
unless the State is redistriefcd take a
part in the election in that district
and may control the election. The
precise right of tlie lialnuee is to elect
the member without tlie votes ofthose
who are in excess of tlie number re
quired for a district. It seems to us
this is a substantial right tlint is
worth guarding. Then again, if tlie
legislature is called solely for this
purpose the chances are that the work
will he done better and quicker and
cheaper than if done in general ses
sion, and in tlie midst of a multitude
of other business.
Tlie reasons urged agninst it nre
mostly based upon economical con
siderations, but it seems in u» ui« if
the next Legislature should be pro
longed for this purpose beyond what
it would otherwise extend that it will
cost as imicli in the end as an extra
session* So far as we are concerned
in this district it will not aflee* the
.result, for we will elect the nominee
next time no matter whether there is
a change in the district or not.
This volume furnishes tlie comple
tes! of all answers to tlie croaking of a
certain set of misanthropic persons
who are always saying that tlie State
of Georgia is growing poorer ei cry

A FEW OF THE NOTABLE FOLK ON
OUR STREETS. . ' jg

-Vetc York llrrald.
There are hundreds of Now, York
ers whose names arc household words
to their fellow citizens who pass ab
solutely unrecognized through our
crowded streets year in and year out.
Others, who by peculiar conditions
are put on planes of general interest,
are almost universally known. It is
a curious fact, for instance, that men
like the late Commodore Vanderbilt
and A. T. Stewart, whose annual
transactions afTeeted the marts of
commerce and the fortunes of thou
sands, were personally known to but
few of their fellow creatures, while
the pugilism of a Morrissey, tlie pe-
destrianism of a Howell, the ministra-
tions of a Beecher and the practical
humanity of a Bergh, or the physique
of a Hancock, make their features so
familiar to the public eye that general
recognition of them as individuals
becomes a matter of course. There
are men in New York to-day whose
reputations are world wide, hut whose
faces an like those of straugers to
men who meet them daily on the
I streets. A few examples chanced to
pass under the observation of a writer
tor the Herald in the course ofusome-
wliut extended walk during tlie pust
twenty-four hours, and it was inter
esting to see how almost entirely they
escaped general observation.
A MONEY KINO.
Probably tile richest individual in
the United states to-day is William
H. Vanderbilt. His name is as well
know abroad ns here. His transac
tions are felt in the exeliunges of the
world. He lias lived here and here
abouts since his boyhood, when his
father was carving his way to a mon
umental fortune, but aside from the
regular drivers on tlie road it is doubt
ful if there are five hundred men on
Manhattan Island who know that
they ever saw tills possessor of $200,-
000,000. As tilt prematurely eariy
spring air was gradually changing to
the normal temperature of a yet un
developed Murcli air. Vanderbilt
slowly left tlie unique portal of his
solid home on Fftli avenue, squinted
with one eye at tlie clouds that
threatened wind from tlie cast, but
toned liis thick coat tight in the neck
and leisurely passed toward the great
Cathedral. Of tlie few men, women,
children, nurses and.coachmen near
him not one recognized or turned to

inches less than six feet tall, stout
and heavy. His features are large
and expressive. He weurs long side
whiskers and black clothes. A stran
ger would judge him to be about for
ty-eight years old, not over strong
and good liatured. Tlie lines of his
face are deep, and when in repose he
lias an expression of “grit” und deter
mination which gives way before a
smile that seems based in kindness
and a general condition of content.

making a total working in tlie Sab

selected at random which show a
steady upward movement. It is to he
remembered also ‘that these figures,
are based upon valuations put upon
the property by the individual owners
in o.nking their returns for taxes and
arc notoriously below the market val
ue, especially in the ease of renl estate:
Aggregate value of property issi,
$254,252,630. Aggregate value of prop
erty 1 smi, $239,525,752. Increase for
Issi, $14,726,878. This shows a clear
gain of over six per cent, in one year.
Tlie lies' part of it is a healthy gain,
as there have been no fluctuations in
tlie currency which could cause the
difference, it being valued innctirrcu-
cy that is equivalent tn gold in both
eases. This is a fact which ought not
to lie lost sight of, for the reason that
prior to the resumption of specie pay
ments the valuation was in a curren-
•cy more or less depreciated. Ourown
•county makes an excellent showing
as follows: Aggregate value of whole
property 1 ssl, aggregate $4,702,410;
value of whole property isso, $4,430,-
.‘><>5. increase for 1881, $372,145. This
is also a clear gain of six per cent, for
Clarke, which shows that we are
keeping up with tlie procession at
least. We will take up this ropoit
again in a subsequent issue and give
some further figures which will be
found interesting and instructive.
THE STATE HOAD BON D OF $8,800-
OOO REPORTED ILLEGAL.
Atlanta Constitution: In tlie early
ihwot the last session of the legislature,
on motion oi Mr. Kankiii, of the house,
or Mr. linekctt, of the senate, a com
mittee was raised for tlie purpose of
looking into the bona fide ownership of
the lease shrres ami the validity of the
lessees’ Ixind. Tlie investigation was
ordered, first liecnuse of rumors tli.1t tlie
Louisville and Nashville railroad hail
acquired a controlling interest in tlie
lease, tlie lniv being that tlie control
should remain in tlie State; and second'
lx cause Mr. Wndlcv hud asserted pub
licly that the indorsement of the Cen
tral’ road on tlie bond of tlie lessees,
signed by Mr. llolr, was not binding on
the Cent ml Company and had not been
signed with proper authority.
The investigation was made by a joint
committee, with Senator llaekett ns
chairman. A great many witnesses
were examined and a voluminous
1m,ok of testimony printed. Tlie In
vestigation was directed principal
ly to the ownership of the shares of the
•ease, the matter of tlie signatures being
n plainer question oi fact and almost
purely dependent on legal opinion. Tlie
committee reported tlie testimony back
to the house without any direct opinion
upon either matter it set out to invest!
gate, blit with a supplement report. In
submitting tlie testimony a mem
ber of tlie committee moved in cneli
bouse lor llie whole matter to be referr
ed to the attorney general with instruc
tions to report to the governor his opin
ion iqioii the two contested points.
Tlie a'torncy general lias been at work
upon the matter, and has reported
against tile validity of the bond.
Tlie lease lias got nine years to run,
and it is quite probable that the governor
will insist iqioii tlie company’s making a
newlioiid; failing in which, a tremen
dous legal conflict will doubtle-s ensue
for tlie recovery of tlie road to the State.
Everybody is familiar with the his
tory of the daring capture of a Con-
ederate train at Big Shanty, on the
State road, in April, 1862, by a party
of distinguished Federal soldiers, led
by one J. J. Andrews.' Sevpn
raiders were hung in Atlanta, sevi
escaped, and the others were
exchanged. A bill is now befc
gress granting a pension of
month to 'Wilson W. Brow;
ers who were member
and still survive. It is
the bill will pass.

Among the passengers in an elevat

how many will roeogujye the hero
whose name is familiar in the courts
and homes of tlie world. None knew
him when lie entered. After a few
stulious a middle aged mau, in eye
glasses, came in, flowing, he said,
“Good morning, General.” The Gen
eral nodded and turned ids head the
other way. The ear filled, but with
the exception of a young fellow who
sat opposite, no one noticed him. “I
say,” said the young fellow to his
neighbor, behind a Herald, “that's
Grunt opposite.” “I don’t care a
damn,” replied his neighbor, and ap
parently lie didn’t, for he continued
to read. Tlie General wore a high silk
hat and a full, close clipped beard.
His eye was clear, his moutli firmly
shut, his overcoat thick and rusty
aud his figure very stout- Circum
stances alter cases and this great man
was simply one of the crowd.
But time is short and space is valua

much that is instructive as well as

in their day were better ktiown by

Washington and his wife. The man
sat straight us n ramrod, his coal
blaek eyes contrasting strangely with
Ids snow white hair. He wore a Der
by hat and a dark suit, with neatly
fitting boots. The lady, large-faced,
big-eyed, heavily-built, but graceful
and dignified, sat next him, match
ing him in the silvery sheen of her
exquisite hair and the perfect repose
of her bearing. In 1865 the continent
rang with the names of John C. and
