A'tbougb the attorney general baa
delivered no formal opinion aa to the
power of the aecretary of the treaaury
over the reaumption of rpede payment.,
yet it ia understood that be hold* that
reaumption cannot legally be attempted
before January 1,1879, and it ie alao
underatood that Secretary Sherman
will act In accordance with tbia opinion
ol the chief law-officer of the govern
ment. There will therefore be no for-
t of reaumption be.
fore tbe date fixed by the reiumption
act, and no payment of coin for green
back* at tbe trearury before that time.
Bat Secretary Sherman baa Bet
bia heart on reaumption, and it ia ae-
aerted that be will take several atepa
for tbe purpoee of aecuring a practical
equivalency of value aa between gold
and greenback*. Tbe popular idea of
reaumption baa alwaya been an extin-
guiabment of the premium on gold,and
if Secretary Sherman can accompliah
that much, be will doubtleae claim tbe
honor of having instituted apede pay
ment*.
Hia new plan ia a*id to conaiat in an
indiacr.minate payment at an early day
oi tbe current expenditure* of the gov
ernment in silver,gold and greenback*.
Instruction*, it ia eald, have already
been aent to tbe eub-treaenries to pay
out tbe ailver dollar* in exchange for $1
and $2’peenbac<s and national bank
notes, and to Introduce them into gen
eral circulation by using them in pay
ment of rmall sums instead of paying
out note*. Tbe next step will be to
pay out the email gold coins—probab’y
tbe $i, $2 GO, and $5 pieces—in many
cases of coin diaburiemenla, (each as
redemption of coupons held at home.)
This will open tbe road to the circula
tion of these email gold coins, particu
larly |p there is a good deal of com
plaint in business circles
of an insufficiency of tbe
$1 and $2 notes. Tbe gold coins will
oe hoarded at first, as the new ailver
coins were a year ago-, but after a abort
time they will get«into circulation, to
gether with a good part of tbe private
board that ia known to exist. Aa tbe
present premium on a $6 coin tranasc
tion ia only two cents, it ia certain that
no one will look for a broker’s office lo
get the difference. No broker would
pay tbe difference, and It is therefore
safe to assume that tbe small gold coins
would come into general circulation.
If so, the result would be an inflation
of tbe currency, and a sensible relief to
all classes of business men.
At any rate, aa we before said, tbe
experiment would be a harmless one.

York and other states. In New York
the democrats may carry the state by
forty thousand msjwity, aadyat not be
able to carry the legislature. Indiana
ia gerrymandered even more in
famously. Tbe state, at tbs election
of 1878, gave the democratic ticket
a plurality of 7,727; and yet, under tbe
apportionment devised by Morton and
his associates, 207,620 republicans were
enabled to elect nine members of con
gress, while 213,219 democrats could
only elect foor members; or to state it
differently, it takes 63.300 democrats to
elect a congressman, while it requires
oulv 23,069 republicans to elect one.
The map of the Courier-Journal shows
into what grotesque districts tbs state
was cut up by the apportionment act
of 1872. This set was put through
under tbe lash of extreme partisan
ship. Gov. Hendricks was elected in
October, 1872, bnt before he WAS in-pa
ted with the veto power the republi
cans had tne old legislature convened
in special session for the purpose of
euacting this law.
They not only divided the state into
unjust and indescribable congressional
districts, but they arranged tne legisla
tive districts so that it is almost an im
possibility to secure a democratic leg
islature, although the state is squarely
and confessedly democratic. They
not only defeated the popular
will as expressed in 1872, but
they put affairs in such a shape that
tbe wrong cannot be undone except by
tidal wave of popular indignation
The senate of the state consists of fifty
members, twenty-five of whom hold
over. Fifteen of the hold-over eena-
tora are republicans, and in the twenty-
five districts that elect, the republicans
are given at least thiry per cent tbe
advantage by the apportionment set.
Five democratic districts, for .an exam
ple, contain 49,070 voters, while five
republican districts contain but 33 018.
8o too with ths lower house, which
consists of one hundred members. Two
men in the republican
county of Lake have as
much political weight ss five men in
tbe dimocratic counties of Brown
and Bartholomaw. And the worst
feature of the crime against liberty : a
the fact that it perpetuates itself by
enabling the minority to elect a ma
jority ol the legislature, thus prevent
ing s new apportionment
But in spite of their disadvantages
democrats have inaugurated a cam
pstgn with a determination to win.
They expect to carry six con
gressional districts, and have a living
chance in two mo e. The state
ticket embraces no higher office
than secretary of state, and the. chief
interest will be centered in tbe election
members of the legislature. Mr.
Voorhees is the choice ol the people oi
Indiana as bis own snccessor, and if
Ben. Harrison or any other man is put
in his place after the fourth of next
March, it will be because the demo
crats are practically disfranchised by
republican legislation. The democrats
have determined to make agrand eff >rt

The election of their general ticket by
heavy majority is unquestioned, and

TOR COSOR1MSIOSAL OUTLOOK.
DR. FRLlOM AND JVDON LRBTKB.
We received yesterday a Inendly
letter from a friend ol Dr. Felton
written from the eeventh district, in
which the writer requested us
'tone down" on Dr. Felton, giving i
reason that he waa sure to be re elected.
We simply call attention to this fact to
sat our friend right in this ms ter.
We have made no personal attacks on
Dr. Felton. We have stated more
than once that his record in congress
waa god. Personally we think him a
worthy man ; but we think he made
great mistake in making tbe attack
Judge Lester’s character in his Csr.
teraville speech. When an attack is
made on a man that is unjustifiable,
always recoils. Dr. Felton knows in
bis heart to day that Judge Lester is ss
good a man as be ia He is just
well satisfied as the
friends, of Jodge * Lester
the charges he made in his Gartersville
speech did Judge Lester more good
than harm. He failed to repeat them
Dalton a few days after.
“But,’’ says oar mend, "yon publish
sensations] reports." We can assure
him that we have before us at this
time, and have had during the canvass,
sensational reports about Dr. Felton—
reports that entered even his family
circle—which we hare not published,
because we <io not consider it proper.
II he means by “sensational reports"
tbe reports we have made oi the dis-
cussious between Dr. Felton and Judge
L-eter, we are perfectly willing to leave
this to those who heard the speeches.
We reported wbat was avid and
It may not be satis
factory to Dr. Felton and
his Iriends. We cannot help that It
wss tbe result of the discussion, not of
onr reports. In proof of this it is only
to necessary to remind our friend that
Dr. Felton has declined to meet Judge
Lister any more. Now if he pnts the
refusal to meet Judge Lester on the
ground that onr reports are incorrect,
we will "tone down” and make no more
reports of their joint discussion. Judge
Lester wu a gallant soldier daring the
war; he hu always been an Honorable
high-minded man. When be to charged
with being a thief, a lobbyist, a rene
gade and scoundrel, the friends of Dr
Felton need not be surprised if be and
all hto friends dv all in their power to
have hto character vindicated by the
people in their verdict in November.
We have no donbt about tbia verdict.
It might have been donbtfol if the
character of Judge Lester had not been
Very much depends upon the politi
cal complexion of the next house. U
it to democratic, both branches o! con
gress will be in right hands. If it to
democratic, the whole'reeponsibaity of
opposition to retorms will be thrown
upon a republican executive- U it to
democratic, the fraudulent practices of
past republican administrations will
bs made manifest, and a democratic
presidential victory in 1880 at
the pill* fortified against s repetition
in soy torm of the eltctoral villainy of
1876. So important to the control of
the next house, we.believe we will be
pardoned if we go over the ground
somewhat in detail.
The republicans appreciate the im
portance ol carrying the house u mucb
u the democrats do. They see that it
is their only hope against aggressive
democratic movements—that defeat
on their part woold be followed
by disintegration and overwhelming
disaster. Their office holders are keenly
alive to the issue, and the republican
congressional committee is gathering in
official ssseesments with a vigor and
method that wu not equalled even dur
ing the palmiest days oi the Grant-
corruption period. They mean business
in every respect. Even the iemaJe
clerks were assessed. The committee
hope to overcome the adverse majority
oi twenty and gain a balance beside.
Let us first enumerate the districts they
hope to gain. They intend to carry the
third Massachusetts, now represented
by Mr. Field after a sharp straggle in
the elections committee. This district
is generally conceded to them. They
claim the fourth Massachusetts now rep
resented by Mr. Morse, who was elected
by a majority ol 1,000. He is an ex
treme hard money resnmptionist, and it
to probable that a coalition of green-
backers sod republicans would result
in his defeat. The first New Hemp
shire, now represented by Frank Jones,
a popular and wealthy democrat, ia also
coveted. Tbe hope of the republi
cans wu based on the rumor that Mr.
Jones wanted to quit politics, but he
hu decided to run again, and hia re
election to well assured. The first
Connecticut is represented by Mr. Lvrt-
ders, whose majority in 1876 wu only
148 The republicans have fixed their
glitterirg eves on this district,
and may secure it. The eleventh
New York, a city district, is
represented by Mr. Willis, whose ma
jority in 1876 wu only 427. The re
publicans hope to defeat him by tbe
free use of tbe Astor wealth in favor of
one of Ibe youthful scions of that fam
ily. The sixteenth or Albany district
of New York to democratic, but u full
of dissensions as a dog ever was ol fires.
The republicans hope to come in be
tween the democratic and the green
back candidates. The thirtieth New
York is s cloee district Tbe democrats
carried it in 1876 by 600 majority. The
thirty-firstNew Yorkisarepublictn dis
tricb The democrats carried it in 1876
owing to s surplus republican candidate.
The thirty-second or Buffalo district
gave Mr. Lockwood only 409 majority,
sod the republicans bope to carry it-
a run hope. They hope to carry tbe
the fifth New Jerrey by-nominating
the present democratic representative,
Mr. Caller. This bill will not fill.
Cutler will be elected to stay at home.
Mr. Bielly’e majority in the thir
teenth Pennsylvania wu only 81
The nationals have become very strong
in the district, and no one can foresee
what the result will bs. Mr. Stenger’e
majority in the nineteenth Pennsyl'
vanis wu 169. Mr. S’s. personal pop
ularity may again save the district to
the democracy. They hope to defeat
Mr. Say ter and Mr Binning in the
two dose Cindnnati districts—a double
delation that they will diog tonp to tbe
counting ol the ballots. Tbey hope to
beat Gen. Williams in the first Michi
gan by coming in between the nation
als and democrats. Gen. W. is a hard
money man. The first Indiana is an
obj ct of attack It is a dose district.
Garter Harrison’s majority in the sec
ond Illinois, a Chicago district, wu 643.
He is strangling for s renomination, and
the district to therefore in donbt. ‘Car
ter is a blatherskite. Mr. HarixsU’s mi
jority in the twentieth Illinois wu just
20. Tbe republicans claim the district,
u alao the Colorado district, and the
fourth California district. Tbe
lut named Is the champion tied
district of the country. Boumaido
Pacheco got the certificate on one ma
jority, and waa afterwards unseated by
the house. The republicans expect to
carry the sixth Maryland, in which Mr.
Walsh got 14 majority two years ago.
They alao expect to gain the Seims
district in Alabama, the shoe-string
district iu Mississippi and the Bed
river district in Louisians.
Hard work, backed by plenty cf
money and gcoi lock, may give them
the third Massachusetts, the
first Connecticut, the thirty-first New
York, the thirteenth and eighteenth
Pennsylvania, ths second and eight
eenth Illinois, the Colorado and the
fourth California districts—ten dis
tricts all told, or jnst enough to reverse
the democratic ma j irity of the preeent
house. We do not believe they can
carry any ol the other so-called doubt
ful democratic districts, unless they'
have unusual good luck in tbe way of
democratic dissensions or nationalistic
movements.
Bat whet are the hopee entertained
in democratic circles 7 The foregoing
is based on the assump
tion that the republicans will hold
their own in the next congress Is this
assumption well founded? We think
not, although the democratic congrees-
ional committee have no money, no
federal office holders as strikers, and no
well matured plan of operations. And
yet the chances of tbe democracy have
greatly unproved within the past two
weeks, and the current still sets that
Hayes’s unpopularity and the
increasing anger cf the “stalwarts" be
gin to tell on the enemy in the cloee
districts. The democrats have a right
expect that the eighth New
York district will be n gained.
It is one ol the metropolitan
districts, and the right msn can easily
overcome Geo. McCook's majority
813. The twenty-fourth New York
Conkling’s home district, and its re
publican dissensions are certainly enffi'
dent to beat Mr. Bacon’s majority
710. The eccentric Chittenden’s ms
jority of 2S2 will need locking after.
No one can limit the democratic possi
bilities in Pennsylvania, if the demo
crats and greenbackera act together—
an altogether possible event. The
six'h Indiana will be recovered, aa Mr.
Robinson's majority in 187S was only
276, It is conceded that the democr.
will gain five members in Q-io, and
*rr.jt In Missouri, owing to the npdofog
publicans. The Detroit Free Press
balieresthat the west and northwee*.
will have at least twelve more demo
cratic members in the next house than
they have in tbe present home. Of
the nine.repablieansin tbe bouse from
the south, including the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of Mr.
Leonard, the republicans are not
certain of retaining more
than Jake Thornburg’s in Eut
Tennessee. They are reasonably cer
tain to loee at least five oi them. Their
ndminee in the second North Carolina
district to a negro, Gov. Brcgden having
been thrown overboard. Pincbback
wants to represent the fifth Louisiana.
The negro members from South Caro
lina will scarcely be returned. Tbe
first Tennessee and the second Florida
districts will be redeemed, and so we
hope will be the fourth Virginia dis
trict.
The republican losses must exceed
their gains, and nothing short of a dan
gerous degree of apathy or an utter
want of sagacity can prevent a consid
erable increase of the present demo
cratic majority. We think it safe to
that the democrats will control the
new house by not lees than thirty ma
jority. This belief is based partly on
the dissatisfaction existing in the re
publican party, and partly on the hope
and strength that permeate the demo
cratic racks.

Departure of Rev. Young J. Alien,
LL.D.
Yesterday afternoon Rev, Young J.
▲lien, LL.D., left for New York by the Air-Line
route. Be will sail from New York for China
a very lew days.
Dr. Allen was accompanied to the train by
aeveral of his Atlanta friends. He has been
missionary to China over nineteen years, hav
ing gone there soon after he graduated at Em
ory coll- Ko In 1858. He has done noble service
there in the caaae of religion and dviliutioo,
and has passed through a kng list of tolls and
trials which required a high type of htroLm
We are glad to know that he la now on a very
favorable position, both lor hia own comfort
and lor tbe enlargement of his atORU Of laflu-
enoe. He is in high favor with the emperor and
one of the mandanna of the empire. Daring
his stay in China he has translated for the gov*
err,ment the history of nearly every country in
he world—a labor whose magnitude and value
can hardly be appreciated.
Dr. Allen Is now teaching in one of the lead-
leg universities ol Chins, and 1* regarded as
tue leading literary men among that literary
Hia visit to hia old home hu been the i
much good a well aa of great pleasure to
m He hes by his honest ta.ki created a
deeper interest than waa felt before In tbegrea 4
nation whom Ocd bas sent him to tetvr. He
has removed many prejudices and falao opin
ions as to the Chinese and their dvilixaUoa*
He bis been a aert of Chinese missionary to us
for a brief while and hu represented his peo
ple In their true light.
Amid all hia labors In China he places first
his duty as a miiiionary of the Methodist Epis
copal church south, by which he wu sent and
which be hu bom red. This is hia prime work
to this be Kinds
his energies and uses all tbe power he
can com mind At the recent commeneem
Emory college, be preached the commencement
•ermon and delivered the addreu before the
alumni of his almamaier.
When ths degrees were conferred on senior
day. President Hayxood announced that ths
trustees had bestowed on Rev Young J Allen,
D D. the high and distinguished title of Doctor
of Laws. Ibe announcement wu received
with spplsnse which had not subsided before
the commanding form cf Bishop Pierce arose.
The bishop said he would express too great
gratification at the action of the trustees and
he then paid a tribute of glowing elcqu*.
Dr Allen.
After alluding to his devotion to the csuie of
Christ In China, be said be believed that to-day
Dr Allen wu the foremost nmtlonary of all the
world. He eald that in hia aoal-firln* zeal and
bis untiring love for his high work. Dr. Alien
wu more like St Paul than any man he ever
aaw. It wu well, he said, to confer sucfiia high
honor upon him, for it wcnld show the Chice e
government that we endorse our missionary and
bold him up u a true and worthy man. Tula
will greatly strengthen hkbands in China..
Dr Allen will soon be back In the fieid where
be hu already done so much. Thousands of
prayers will be effered for his tile passage atd
lor the blessings of God on his missionary work.
