The value of taxable property in Atlanta is $8,877,343, and in the county $9,551,898. The State and county tax will bo $8 per thousand.— There are 1017 polls in tho county, of which number only 150 aro black. Of children be tween 0 and 18 thero aro 1080. The report of Superintendent IJulbert, of the State ltoad, shown the following interesting statistical facts for the fiscal year ending Sopt. 30th, 18f»S: The total receipts for the year, $913,- i G07 21; total expenditures, $*577,287 12; excess of receipts over the expenditures, $200,320 12: i of working expenses to receipts, 70 per j cent. 1 The editor of the RcpuUicnn says that when ho issued the first number of Ida paper, fifteen years ago, Amerieus was iu its infancy, being u more village, containing a population of less than five hundred. To-dny, she numbers over that many thousands. Then there was but one business house in the place. To-day there aro over one hundred - all doing a good busi ness. Contracts for the building of tho Georgia Air Lino Railroad, for the first twenty miles, has been already let out. This will bring into mar ket the resources of a portion of Cherokee Geor gia, heretofore shut out from market, only as alfooted by wagon transportation, which must greatly enhance tho price of lands in that sec tion of the country, and add much to tho pro duce market of Atlanta, from whence it will ra diate to every portion of Georgia. The Macon TCcijynpk reads the present Legis lature a salutary and sensible lesson on the ridic ulous and expensive practivo of reconsidering every bill of any importance that is disposed of on the day previous, without regard to parlia mentary law, and to the Merlons waste of tho time and money ef^the ^ountri*. Tho Tel*jrnph must recollect, though, that wo have entered up on a new era in government, and that the old fogy notions of such journalistr. as ourselves were long since obsolete. » Jildgo Morrill has dismissed the jurors sum moned to servo ut the present term of the Su perior Court for Mupeogi c, upon the ground that there was no law ol‘ force in the State under which a jury could be drawn to try civil or criminal cases, lie held that tho uct passed last summer, requiring the fall courts Io be. held with jurors drawn in the spring, had expired by ils own limitation, and as tho Legislature has passed no other law, there wau nothing left for him to do but to suspend lmsintjta. The report of the Superintendent of the Lu natic Asylum, Dr. T. F. Grocij, shows the fol lowing facts: Amount expended to maintain the institution for the year endiijg October, 1888, $77,055 79; aggregate number of patients during the year, 489; pay patients, 31; partial pay, 19; pauper patients, 439; idiots, 70; epileptics, 52; lunatics, 387. At present there aro in tho insti tution, male patients, 208; female, 181. The contemplated repairs as deemed necessary by the Superintendent calls for $31,000. The call for a meeting of the members of tho Georgia Masonic Life Insurance Company at Macon on the Stli, of March, to make important changes in tho by laws, has created some inquiry. The Savunuah X ir* states that it learns from u reliablo source that the proposed chango refers to tho payment of the amount of policies where they are made payable to the widow and children of a deceased member. The present by-law not being explicit on tbo subject, payment have been delayed on account of it, and it is now de sired that some provision bo made to overcome this obstacle. Tho (hrovlcle sots down the bonded debt of Augusta, now running and past duo nnd unpaid, at $1,137,500. The city even now has assets more than sufficient, if sold at anything like a reasonable price, to meet all its liabilities, be sides the large annual revenue derived from mu nicipal taxation. Thefpreseut Council has made arrangements, tho Chronicle believes, to provide for tho payment of all bonds post duo and un paid, and, by an economical administration and judicious management, will soon have tho city’s finances thoroughly straightened and ready to meet tho bonds now running when they arrive at maturity. We learn from a Macon paper that the annual election for President and Directors of the Southwestern Railroad was held in Macon on Wednesday, 10th inst, and resulted in tho elec tion of tho following gentlemen: William S. Holt, President; Directors, Timothy M. Furlow, John McNab, John E. Jones, William M. Wad- Icy, Virgil Powers, Alexander It. Lawton, John L. Mustain (the latter in the place of Hon. Howell Cobb, deceased). A dividend of 4 per cent on the capital stock of the Company, as held on the 31st ult, has been declared; also a dividend of 2 per cent on-tlio consolidated stock of the Muscogee Raiiroad Company, payable on and after the 17th inst The U. S. revenue tax will bo paid by tho Company. The Cotton States Life Insurance Company, recently organized in Macon, has applied to the Legislature for an amendment to their charter, to make it impemth e upon them to deposit in good securities, $100,000 with the Comptroller General of the State, or with some strong cor poration, for tho better security of policy liold- ors. The authorized capital is $2,000,000, and the guaranteed capital is $500,000. Four hun dred thousand dollars of the stock is already subscribed; tho balance will soon be made up. The prer.ent stockholders will take tho remainder should not other parties apply. Tho officers of the Company are: William B. Johnston, Presi dent; George S.

Hehley, presiding; Congress jh bound to respect, if it can respect anything. Wo find it in a Radical journal of influenc'd published at Bloomington, Illinois, the Pantojruph, and give space to it, inviting the special attention of our readers to it : “ Ih not tho United States Senate rather over doing tho matter of restructing the Htato of Georgia V That State was completely made over j th in accordance \rith tho Reconstruction laws, and | together with tlu' (U• murrc 1”filed 1 >v a hearing* th Stone, counsel for white, Court to withdraw Urn d grunted, apd an ord tv...; to the petitioner to file till quiring White to auswovv.it the receipt of notice that it A writer in tho Journal de Paris estimates tin sum lost nnd won at cards iu Puris at one mil- j lion of francs a day.

It says: Mr. Metcalf was born in Massachusetts, but early iu life removed to Vormont, in which State the prime of his life was spent—removing to this city about twenty years ago. His mind was clear and bright to tlio last, and his recollection of tho past was exceedingly vivid.

Those gentlemen simply signify thoir ueoeptauce in a written statement to that effect, without signature, which is report ed by tho tellers and entered upon the Journal, where it becomes part of the record.
