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 PEOPLE OF TO-DAY. A FEW OF THE NOTABLE FOLK ON OUR STREETS. . ' jg Vanderbilt, Patti. Dlx, lloto. Bouclcault, Onal * ana tha Fremonta. ..JU_ X- -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 Its**K at liluit Ilf la nj>|N»rently a f-ow 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. change 1 Since then came and dectioi and thi the Union, .... proclamation repudiated and subse quently followed by Abraham Lin coln, years of retiracy and. quiet, re-, appearance as Governor of Wyoming, and now again back in the city of his early manhood. During' all. these ^ changes and amid all these excite- ” meuts Mrs. Fremont and J|er lord were one. To-day they are the hand somest old couple in the city. John Russell Young has been se lected as minister to China. The death of a girl in I Mill-room at Gergetown, Col„ was caused by tight lacing. A cyclone jumped on Augusta Thursday, and disappeared in South Carolina. I tip Fi and defeat, dan scan _ .

There arc indications that the floods have done their worst, and that the rivers are beginning to subsidy. Tlie anticipated conflict between t’ e military and the mob lias come in Omaha, and one man Was killed. Edwin Bell her, the colored editor of the Savannah Echo, repudiates the coalition, and has liaulcd.dowu their flag. Tlie muieipnl elections in New York show' gratifying democratic gains. In no city did tlie democrats suffer losses. Tlie Mississippi lias fallen below Memphis. No new disa are reported. Government are distributing. Illinois and ianu ask help. Gen. Toombs says if there was only one cotton seed on tlie face of the earth, and it would kill him to swallow it, he would do it, so great a bane does lie consider the exclusive production of cotton.

His law practice in New York was wortli sixty thousand dollars—many times tlie justice’s pay—hence a “pre vious engagement prevented.” Attempts agaiust the Queen are punishable by transportation for sev en years, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, “the culprit to lie publicly or privately whipped as often and in such manner no ti,. «ourt .bull direct. not exceed ing thrice.” The national Sunday-school con vention lately in session in Atlanta was well attended. Many interesting facts were stated on Tuesday. It was reported that there are in tlie United States 84,730 Sabbath-schools, with 932,383 teachers and 6,820,835 scholars, making a total working in tlie Sab bath interest of 7,853,118 in all. In I tlie world there are 1,559,823 teachers J and 13,062,523 scholars, making a total j of Sabbath school workers of 14,- 623,345. 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.

There is nothing that a people or a sect will sooner light or die for than their relig ious faith, as the history of the vorlil abundantly proves. The political sig- nifu-anpe of the pretended resurrection, to which we refer, is tlie incitement which it would afford tlip Monpons to resist t|ic authority of the Unjted States ill the execution of njoqsurqs for the suppression of polygamy.

Tlie calieo dresses, Jet black braids ofliuir upon her back, flashing eyes and a gypsy skin were the possessions of oue of a “lot of chil dren.” To-day she walks or drives, us suits her whim, exacts tributes from kings and lias the world of art and genius at her feet. But however this may be, she walked down ths-nvenue looking at the houses, gazing at the people, explaining to her companion and absolutely unknown to any whom she met for blocks and blocks. TIIE WORLD’S QUEST. Among the passengers in an elevat ed car sat General Grant. Let us see 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 ble. He Hint hath eyes to see can find much that is instructive as well as entertaining in u walk down town—a type of which is all this sketch aspires to be. A NOTABLE COUPLE. Andos if these were not enough for one day’s brief tramp tho writer was favored, in a bobtail car, by tlm com. panionsliip of a venerable couple who in their day were better ktiown by name than any pair save George 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 Jessie.Benton Fremont.
