The hotels have been a busy scene for the list day or two. The members are about in. The candidates outnumber the members, and such actlrity i The political oaa'dron has seethed. There are said to be on an average twenty candidates for every office. The General Assembly organises tc-day. As an exception to the rale th-re seems to be but one candidate for the Presidency of the Senate. CoL L. X. Trammell filled the chair so well at the laat session that general choice appears to settle on him for that office. For the Speakership we notice the names °f Co!. B. F.

The C.aitltwtloni In the town of Stone HountalD, DcKalb okaly, occurred an event, within a few thys, (chronicled in yeste.day’s issue,) which datws the position occupied by Tns Cotr- Titsiiow among De nocrats all over the State. At the election by the Mayor and Council of the various city officers for 1878, Tns Atlanta Cosstitotiox was elected City Printer. True, this election will con far hut little more than tho honor, os the amount of printing will bo neoctsarily quite small. But the honor is highly appreciated, for It pro vos tho esteem in which Thb Con stitution, the unswerving champion of the .Democracy of Georgia, Is held by tree Demo crats throughout the S.ala. Georgia Laws for |*T*. TVe have received from Messrs. Hemphill * Oo., fcStsto Printers, an advanced copy of the Statutes of Georgia, passed by the Gen eral Assembly of 1872. This volume contains the official drafts el seta of pre-eminent Importance to every man la the Shite, be he lawyer, merchant or fann er. The most Important of these appear in tueeirly part of the volume, and are acts de claring the State endorsement on certain bonds null and void. In order to ft dear con ception cf the questions that will be started at the coming session of the .Legislature it will be necessary to preserve these docu- -ratals.

Io 1888, it was 8U9,588. The tout nu mber of votes cast for General Grant was 3,593,1)84, and for Mr Urt* ley, 2,1-33,847. In 186i, Mr. Seymour's vrala mi..

If that bad been a fair election, Greo- h y would have been elected. Bat that elec tion wss undeniably a fraud, and th it carried Grant through. Bat even that was not without the help of Africa. The Relative Rank at Slate.. Among the many Interesting revelations of the census report of 1770 is that of the pres ent relative rank of the Stales in population, as compared with their rank in 1800.

The United States Senate In thb day of broadening recognition of Southern power and growing opportunity ter the play of Southern influence, open* th* loftiest field for tho cxercbo of Southern genius. The contest recalls the day* of aid. The old war-horses of Georgia politics are oa the track. The presence of Stephrns and Jolin- aon and the spirits of ante-war days brings back the former years. And th* battle for the golden prize Is callously significant. The old and the young era ar* pitted against each for it In manly, generous antagonism with the chances strongly for Young Ameri- On the ono side Stephens, Miller, John son, Bennlng and Underwood.- Oa the other are Gordon, Hill and Fielder of the yonnger school. The more Juvenile contest ants app- ar ahead. We hear, however, that Gov. Johnson has withdrawn from the field This sturdy representative of the most mas sive order ef Georgia statesmanship before the war would make a splendid Senator. No man la the Slate has a grander brain. The power and culture of hb Intellect have been widely recognized. The finish of hb State papers as a Governor was only equalled by the ponderous strength of their thought And some of the best Informed members as sert that next to Gordon Gov. Johnson would have developed the strongest vole on the first ballot The general opinion seems to prevail that Gordon, the princely soldier, will lead the heaviest column on the opening ballot Hb rare chivalry and splendid morale, hb fine opacities of brain, declamation and energy, make him a typical representative of the yonng statemanship of the aew era, on- freighted with old prejudices and antece dents, and fresh to grapple with tie practical questions of the day. The best brain and chivalry of the Com- monwealth arc on the track for tho great effiee Here b Bennlng—“Old Rock,"—as he b known—fearless, sensible, hoary with virtues and hono a and achievements. A large back ing stands behind him. Then (Stephens, the great oracle of constitutionalism and the peer in eloquence of tho silveriest orators of any admirers so unnecessarily in the late contest for President. He stands in the unfortunate attitude of having his election brand tho par ty with a self-condemnation that they ntterly decline to perpetrate. Thb works weightily against ’he Sago of Liberty Hall Miller, the Demosthenes of the mountains, teems doing litllo. Bat hb wonderful ora tory, and hit powerful capacity for dbaectiag constitutional questions, would place him on a lcvi 1 with any in the forum of the Senate. A certain serin humor, that cub like a razor and scalp* Its victims, interferes somewhat with hb popularity with hb anemic*. Judge Underwood borders oa th* middle ground—between the old and near candi dates. He has been a laborious party man, and bas had lob of old politics in bb life, but he grapples new questions like a aew fir Governor. His entire administration has been able and impartial. Bui there has been a personal phase in thb matter, especially gratifying to CoL Trammell and creditable to many Senators. A recent misrepresentation was generally cir- cnbted to hb damage and vigorously used by the Radicals in the late gabtrns’.orial con test. The matter recoiled to hb ad vantage and rallied to him hb acquaintances as well as friends. Several leading names were suggested for the Presi dency, among them those, prominent Sena tors, CoL Lester, CoL Harris and Mr. Erwin Yet these gentlemen, under the generous im pulse of a friendly regard, declined to enter the race, and Joined in the cherns of a con dusive vindication of their friend and col league, by a unanimous vote for tho blghe> office in the Senatorial body. The result cannot bat be most pleasant to CoL Trammell and hb friends. Cenans Statistics. The census statistics are interesting.

Mr. Longley has been but a few yean living in Troup, and the fact that Buch a county should honor a young man after so short an ac quaintance is a crowning tribute to hb worth and ability. Mr. Longley is young, but wears like all good things wear. Captain Mercer, of Savannah, is another new man that much may be expected from. - Our fellow county men, Clark Howell and W.

Since thej war 1 which swept over our. common confltry, various and earnest efforts have been made to secure for us * portion of ihat immense foreign Immigration which has built up the East and West of-the Union. Bat os these effort* were of a desultory char- ocier, lacking the weight which combination gives to every undertaking, the results, though in themselves flattering, hive had no effect on our material welfare. Georgia, within the past few days, has, at Macon, in augurated * movement which it ia hoped will receive the fail and cordial sanction of her Legislature; ' and which would secure, as far as Georgia is concerned, a be ginning of Foreign Immigration and Trade to her shores upon * permanent and subetan- tial basis. But Georgia looks farther into the future than merely to seek to draw with in her borders a few thousand immigrants and a score of steamers to her porta per an num. She feels that her greatest future pros perity to inseparable from that of her Soutit Atlantic and Gulf sister States, contingent upon unbroken rail and water communica tions with the centres of trade of the far West, with Mobile, New Orleans and Gal- veiton. - In measure os these perilous of our coun try will prosper, she will prosper; since a'.lko by a happy geographical position, a mild climate and untuld resources she fur nishes through her haibors the surest, swift est and cheapest opportunity for the West and Southwest for direct intercourse with Europe. A great aud important movement is already in progress tending to this hippy consummation, in which the West aud South west are alike deeply interested—tbe project of tbe Atlantic aud Great Western CanaL Actual experience has shown that the es- tablLhment of Foreign Immigration to our shores to t>y no means an easy matter. Pre judices abroad have to be removed; we must make ourselves known, and the great induce ments and advantages which our Southern country offers.
