It will be seen in the gorwnor’s proclama
tion that ths districting of the State for legis
lative parposee, in fores prior to Janaary 1st,
1881, is to be observed in regulating the elec
tion of delegates to the constitutional conven
tion, which body so far as numerical strength
la concerned, will bb the same as the craven'
tion held January 16,1881. The thirty-seven
counties entitled to three delegates are as fol
lows : Bibb, Burke, Oarrell, Oaas, Chatham,
Cherokee, Clerk, Cobb r Columbia, Coweta,
Decatur, Floyd, Falfoa, Gordon, Green, Gwin
nett, Hell, Hancock, Harrir, Henry, Houston,
Jackson,' Meriwether, Monroe, Muscogee, New.
too, Oglethorpe, Richmond, Stewart, Sumter,
Talbot, Thomas, Troup, Walker, Walton,
Washington, Whitfield. All the other coun
ties, ninety«five in number, in existence Jen«,
ntry 1,1861, will be entitled to two delegates
each. The total vote of the convention will
three hundred and one.
Szxsiblx View.—We leern from the Galves
ton .' r em that the people oi tlje populous coun
ty of Harrison, Texas, are acting very sensibly
in relation to the new-order of things. They
have held a meeting and resolved that they
recognise the war as over, and are anxious for
the establishment, not only of good order,
but good feeling between all sections of the
country; that they belong alike to the Union,
and desire as early as possible to restore it to
its original rigor with its protection and civil
rights, and the principles of constitutional
freedom. They respectfully memoralize tne
authorities of the United Slates to abandon
all apprehensions of resistance. They say
at law abiding citizens, (hey will res
pect the emancipation proclamation, as a war
measure, desiring at the same time to bare Or
der, industry, and sobriety among the negro
population, and to care for them, as they have
been accustomed, until action is taken with
the final disposition of the question and deter
initiation of their status, as consistent wlth^he
constitution of the United States, which is the
supreme law of the land, m
Not a Wokd of Rbhovstbancb.—The Cin
cinnati Oommertial, of the 19th ingt, makes a
number of extracts from this journal, among
others an article we published July 5tb, notic
ing the formation of a negro league in this
city. Thia movement of the blacks is spoken
of approvingly by that journal, instead of its
being condemned, as it should be. It would
seem that the people ef the South, in the hour
of this new peril, will not reeeive the sympathy
of the Oommereial editors. We can inform
them their atetement of the league business
falls far short of the actual state of things.

In the conduct of this journal we started out
with the determination to tell the people
the truth; to present facts, however painful
and unpalatable. We are not disposed to
deceive the people by portraying events in
false colors. Our only object is to convince
them of the actual situation, so that the im
portance of prompt action may be realized.
A temporizing non committq^policy, ho wove*
much it would suit the feelings end prejudices
-of the people, no h on Sit man, no nutn who
has the good of the country and his people at
heart, should pursue. We have endeavored to
be guided by moderation, accuracy, candor.
It is now our duty to inform the authori*
ttis, those to whose bands havq, bean intrust
ed the management and "control of our affairs,

require immediate and prompt action. We

New York, paid into (he treasury $4,200,000,

we are alarmists. After due investigation and

One word to the paddle : Our aafety and
protection from such occurrences depend at
present upon the military power of the United
States; and it is competent to defend us. But
how can we expect to guard against this stave
■of things in the future ? Dees any sanaApm
suppose that by a sullen .and obstinate spirit
of quiosceuoe, the future wellbeing of tbe State
and of society, can be secured ? In a short time
we will be called upon to eend delegates to s
convention to form a State constitution. Is it
not important that men of statesmanship and
wisdom should represent us ? Upon the ac

Argument upon this subject is unnecessary.
Every thinking man must admit, there is but
one course left ns, dictated by reason ami-com

subject. The remedy for our present situa
tion is self evident end too apparent for dis-
cussicn. Let those who have .been tbe lead
ers of the people come out and address them
publicly, as they do in private, and urge them
to action. It is natural that our people should
feel dispirited and gloomy. By tbe results oi
the war, they find the accumulation of years,
swept away. The? find themselves bankrupt.

President Johnson has been quite ill for s
week .past, owing to tbe arduous duties be has
been called to perform. Offi ce seekers from
both North and South beset him at every
turn. Many applications for pardon lie in
wait for him, and negro delegations in sny
number want to shake hands with hiovand
hold a tittle chat about voting. Those seeking
for pardon foe principally the twenty thousand
dollar msn of the South, who are willing to
take any Bteps that may be necessary for that
purpose. The precaution is taken ofxequirlng

Among the Southern ladies of note who are
now in New York, we have bad the pleasure of
meeting Miss Augusta J. Evans, of Mobile,
who is the guest of Mr. J. C. Derby, the pub
lisher. Miss Evans is not looking nearly as
well as when we saw her in 1869. Her health
has evidently been affected by thefoires and ex
perieaces of the past (our years, and there is
no doubt that she is tieeply disappointed at
tbe result of the war. Probably no woman
entered into tbe cause of the South more earn
esllyfbelieviog moreover in its justness than
Miss Evans, and when the bubble burst, and
she saw that the confederacy was a failure

here during tbe war, and as they hsd a {food

Tbe leading and most gratifying focf record
ed among tha proceedings cf the just-put
Fourth of July is the truly American letter of
the president, on the occasion of the Gettys
burg cejobration, and which was published by
us yesterday. “I am greatly mistaken,”
writes the president, “ if; in the States lately
in rebellion, we do not henceforward have an
exhibition of suoh loyalty and patriotism as
was never sees or felt there before.” Recur
ring to tbe foundation on which onr Union
stands, the president pronounoes these true
and gratifying words: 1
' Based as It is upon the coasont, virtue, pa
triotism*, and intelligence of the people, each
{ tar shall mike it firmer and more imposing.”
nis is a wise and noble utterance, and has
tho ring of tbe old Union metal. Coming
from tbe head of tbe nation, sentiments so full
df assurance to patriots and of ominous warn
ing to demagogues are even as a rock of
strength. The recognition of tho States is
existing government?, and the prominent fea
ture made of the “consent" of the governed,
ss main elements in our democratic system, is
a guaranty that, ao far as tbe president is con -
earned, tho fundamental principles of our in
stitutions will suffer neither change nor tyran -
nicsl restraint. And the paternal ofloourago-
ment which he so warmly throws out to the
expanding loyalty, -cf the South is la noble
contrast with that mean and destructive spirit
that, assuming any disguises, nevertheless has

sentiment between the sections; all the rest,
in comparison, is simply what the poet calls
“ leather and prunella ” Laws and consti
tution?, unless they conform to the “ cob
sent, virtue and intelligence” cf the great
body “the people," which the president So
wisely and patriotically recognizes. Instead,
therefor?, of flouting tbe South, and holding
her up as contraband of human sympathy
and American protection, tbe true duty of
statesmanship is instantly to go to work to
build up material condition, and to reblend
the interests, pride, and affection of her sons

It is for the peoplelqbj trua to such teachings
as were uttered and obeyed when John Jay
wrote from France to Alexander Hamilton
(1788) words tike these: “Tbe American
papers, for some months,” writes Mr, Jay,
“ contain advices that do us harm; violence
and associations against tories pay an ill com
pliment to the government. * , * *
The tories are as much pitied in these coun
tries aa they are execrated in ours; an undue
degree of severity towards them would b* im
politic as well as unju-stiflabieT They who in
cline to involve that whole class of men in in
discriminate punishment and ruin certainly
carry the matter too far. It would be an in -
stance of annoccBsary rigor and uomanly re**
yeuge without a parade), except in the annals
of religious rage in times ol bigotry and
blipgness. Victory and peace should, in my
opinion be followed by clemency, moderation
and benevolence, tod we ahould be Careful not
to sully the glory of the revolution by licen
tiousness and cruelty. These are my sentiments;
and, however unpopular they may be, I have
not the least, desire to conceal or to disgu se
theta.” To these words of one of the re
vered names of the republic, we deem it prop-
er and timely to add those of Alexander Ham-
iltop, who wrote: “A share in the sovereignty
of tho State, which is exercised by the citizens
at large, is one of the most important rights of
the subject, and in a republic ought to stand
foremost in the estimation of tbe law. It ia
that right by which we exist as a free people,
and it certainly, therefore, will never be ad -
mittod that less ceremony ought to be used in
divesting any citizen of that right than in de
priving him. of his property. Such a dcctrino
would ill suit the principles of the revolution,
whieb taught the inhabitants of this coontry
to risk their lives and fortunes in asserting
their liberty—in other words, their right to
share in the govern oent.”
