But if what we hear of the con-

r,ad be true, they committed q

bonds and valuable franchises from

lions Of dollars, to assist them in

enough 10 build all the road the

OF PUBLIC PRINTING.

In the case of the State on the
relation OF John +. Lect vs. the
Auditor, Judge Dibble this morn
ing delivered decision refusir e
Tie peremptory writ of mandamus
prayed FOR. In his opinion Judge
Dlbble reviews the case as follows:
Relator is the proprietor of the
Abbeville Flag, newspaper pub
hshed at Abbeville. Vermilion
parish. He has a contract for pub
lie printing under the laws approx
ed July "a, 1868, and February 3,
1879. This first of these acts au-
thorizes the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Speaker of the House
o. representatives. or majority OF
them, to make a contract with some
porson as State Printer, and to
select and contract with the owners
of papers in the parishes to publish
tie laws and journals of the Legis-
latnre; such papers to be the Of
fcid journals of the parishes.
Under the provisions of this
statute the bills for printing were
sudlted by the State Auditor. Ii
Is matter of history that num-
erous frauds were committed by
TIE person then holding that Office.
Therefore the Legislature enacted
the law approved February 3, 1871.
4 Uniform rate of measurement
was fixed, and, except in the caee Of
the State Printer, the act contem-
piltes that the work shall be done
under the supervision of the Gov
ernor, the Lieutenant Governor
and the Speaker of the House. 1t
isprovided that they shall approve
Ill bills against the State for such
Work In manner that will secure
UNIFORM payment to all pessons or

the Journals or laws, and the Au-
ditor OF Public Accounts shall, upon
Presentation of such bills or ac-

vention. r..


vention.
The following preamble and reso.
lutions were adopted by the State
Convention of Georgia, held in At
lanta, FEBRUARY 3, 1871:
WHEREAS, The peculiar condition
of the colored people in the South
ern States, growing out of o COM
bination of local causes, does, in the
judgment of this Convention, de-
mand more practical understand
ing and mutual cooperation, to the
end that more thorough union Of
effort, action, and organization may
exist; and
Whereas, We believe a convention
of the Southern States would most
happily supply this exigency and
receive the cordial endorsement of
the colored citizens of said States;
Therefore,
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Georgia State Convention
now assembled, do authorize the
President of this Convention to is
sue a call, in the name of the said
Convention for a Southern States
Convention, to be held at such time
and place as he, and those with
whom he may advise, shall deter

convenience.

Districts will elect their own delegates

elect two for the State at large. unles
the respective States shall Otherwis

NEW LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS

Among TIE imper ant matters com
ing before tho present session of the
Legislature, is the re distrlctlng OF
the State into Senate and Assembly
Districts, in accordance with the las
census. The number of Senators aud
hfsemblymen, as fixed by the present
law is respectively SO and 100. This
gives an assemblyman for each IL 800 IL
habitants and Senator for each 81 ,999.
The population of Jefferson County by
the last census is a trife over 34,000,
which hardly entities US to four IS
semblymen, our present. number, but as
re have an excess of the number o!
inhabitants required fer Senator; our
representation will no doubt remain the
same as now, namely, 4 Assemblymen,
and / Senator. As to the re district
ing, W. think but little, if any change
will be made from the present division
of the county There is feeling ex-
pressed to haYe all the wards III he
city OF WATERFOWL placed Within one as
sembly district, and should this idea
Be carried out it would involve, per-
haps, changes in all the other Assem-
bly, districts Of the county.

JESSIE FREMoNT.-A Washington
correspondent writes as follows concern
ing the wife Of Gen. Fremont, who
keeps house in that city this winter ;
Mrs. Fremont has the temperament
and intellect of her father, Col. Ben
ton. She is the powerful force III So
cia! life that be was in the Senate.
She is woman of the world, who to
her love of pomp and circumstances
has never sacrificed the domestic viz
tues. She loves her husband with the
absorbing love which made her brave
her fathers ire to marry him, and alb
solute devotion to his Interest has
been the prevailing passion Of her life.
Yet she loves power, as a daughter OF
Benton must love it; and her fue
presence, flashing wit and comprehen-
sive conversational power, with her
kindHng magnetism of manner, make
her always mistress of it. La our later
day she revives the splendor Of the old
regime, when the lines of social dis
tlnction were more keenly drawn than
nov, and when women il official circles,
with cleaning jewels and powdered
hair, renewed with Young America the
courtlv graces of the old missionaries.
Mrs. Fremont will, through the win.
ter, be surrounded by a circle of young
ladies, and the house in which she
Ieigns cannot fail to be one Of the
chosen centers where wisdom, wit and
beauty, and perhaps folly will delight
to congregate.
