tatives is to remain the same, as the population bas
within the last decade enormously increased, and as ,
it will in all probability in a much greater degree
increase during the next ten years, it follows that
what is now found too burdensome will then be beyond
the compass of human labour. To meet the growing
requirements, the addition to the Representatives
must be considerable. The application of the 14th
Amendment will benefit the Southern section of
the Union by largely increasing its representation,
while the Northern States, where the franchise is
not impartial, will suffer. But in C 3.80 the Fifteenth
Amendment be adopted ere the Cen;sus is taken,
only those States will suffer wherein there arc pro-
perty or educational qualifications. General Gar-
field, the Chairman of the Committee, will devote
his summer travel to making himself as familiar as
possible with the requirements of the Census, and
its relation to the people and their industries.
If the Government desired to being the system
upon which appointments in the Civil Service are
made in Washington into disrepute, they could not
more effectually have done so than in adopting a
rule to the effect that members of Congress and
others are to be bound in their several recommenda-
tions by the priority of their date. It is asserted that
the Administration is so frequently puzzled by the
course of men in high position in recommending
several persons for the same post,that it is compelled
to adopt this rule. Hitherto these influential parties
have been able to satisfy all by recommending all,
by which the good-natured shuffled off the disagree-
ables of resisting a pressure, and left to the Depart-
ments to siftand appraise at their true value, a dozen
recommendations of different persons for the same
post from the same Senator. On the desk of a
Secretary may lie two letters from an influential
person publicly recommending a candidate for a
post, the other marked private, telling the Secretary
that the applicant is not a fit and proper person,
and not to attach importauze to his signature.
Then those who permit such a system to continue
in force, censure the President for making bad
appointments, as if Grant and his Secretaries knew
all the men in the United States, aye, and the
women too, for the gentler sex are as hungry appli-
cants. If they do, we may casually observe they
have an extensive acquaintance; but, as they do
not, they can only trust to such certificates, and by this
time the President must have a shrewd idea of their
value. Whatever may be the demerits of competi-
tive examination it is better than this, while the
only cure for a very grave and growing malady is
permanency in office, and promotion by merit.

The Swedish settlements in Kansas have been so
unfortunate as to furnish an illustration of the pro-
verb that " Misfortunes never come singly." They
were the victims a short time ago of some fearful
Indian raids ; now they are the victims of inunda-
tions; in one place 20 settlers being drowned. In
Northern Mi,souri, as well as in Kansas, the loss
of life and property resulting from the late heavy
rains has been great. The latest tidings of the
Indians give an account of their attack upon
Colonel Greenwood's surveying party, which was
made about 15 miles west of Sheridan. Howard
Schuyler was by himself, 20 miles in advance of
the main body, when a party of 50 Cheyennes
made at him, and he commenced a running fight.
One Indian got so close that the muzzle of his gun
was within a few inches of Schuyler's side, who, at
the moment he turned and shot the Indian through
the body, received a lance wound. Four Indians
fell before the accuracy of his fire, and his horse,
covered with wounds, sank exhausted on reaching
the main body. The surveyors, well armed, soon
drove back the Indians, but a brother of the gallant
Schuyler was so severely wounded that it is doubt-
ful whether he will recover. In Arizona the aspect
is dreadful, on all sides the depredations being
carried to such an extent that it is probable the ter-
ritory will be abandoned. Unfortunately the
Indiani have selected the time when the troops are
being relieved ; but, on thearrivalof themilitary now
marching for Arizona, it is hoped that active opera-
tions will be conducted against the marauding
tribes, and the savages effectually checked.

Gen. Caballero do Rodas has commenced his Go-
vernment of Cuba by conciliation mixed with a
firm determination to suppress the insurrection.
lie urges a more moderate tone on the press, and he
has released a number of political prisoners, while
reorganizing the Spanish forces for a vigorous cam-
paign, if necessary. That the insurrection is still alive
ig Ebovru by the capture of Holguin by General
Jordan. All Colonel Ryan's filibustering expedi-
tion have been captured, and it was reported in
New York that the Spanish squadron had shown
increased activity in intercepting filibustering ex..
peditions, having sunk two in their attempt to land.
The last proclamation of the new Governor was
issued on Wednesday, and he therein declared the
insurrection to be reduced to such an extent as only
to maintain a guerilla warfare. All persons arrested
for robbery, arson, or murder will be tried by court-
martial ; other cases by civil tribunals. The Go-
vernment promises impartial justice to all. Some
consider that the insurrection never assumed the
important character attached to it by the Ameri-
can press, who took it up as a good sensational
subject. The action of the Government against
the Junta's organisation in New York has effec-
tually broken it up, but, as usual, the selfish motives
are ascribed of doing nothing to injure the position
assumed on the Alabama question. Admiral Hoff,
commanding the United States squadron in Cuban
waters, sent a vessel of war to Santiago to investi-
gate the outrages which it is reported have been
perpetrated on American citizens.
The Declaration of Independence was this year
celebrated on the sth July, as the Fourth fell on a
Sunday—enthusiastically in the North, but with
apathy in the South. One of the strangest meetings
was in London, where a considerable crowd assem-
bled in Finsbury-circus to do honour to the day
Americans honour so much, though probably there
was not an American among them. The Times
predicts that the day, overshadowed by the events
and achievements of the recent war, is losing its
importance ; and it hopes, as the cause for self-
assertion has now wholly passed, that the occasion
will henceforth be marked with less animosity to-
wards and as ,well as criticism on England, in all
which, for once, we are able to agree with our
great contemporary. Dean .Stanley improved the
occasion, as the real anniversary was Sunday, in
the greatest of pulpits, under the most noble and
ancient of Abbey roofs, and over the graves of the
most renowned, to discuss the'great event the day
commemorated, taking for his text, " Whosoever
is angry with his brother . . . . and whosoever
shall say, Thou fcol, shall be in danger of hell fire."
Let• English hearts, he said, sincerely wish the
Americans rejoicing over that anniversary, joy :

" What American is there that does not long to tread
the shores of England, to worship the God of his fathers
in her venerable' abbeys, to visit her well-stored galleries,
to rest in her academic groves, and to enjoy her triumphs,
whether of science or of art ? On the ether baud, what
Englishman does not rejoice in every success of American
genius—in her miracles of invention, of architecture, and
song ? Woe, woe to those on either side who would go
down into the valley of darkness, where ancient feuds lie
charred
and buried, and bring forth again the old offal to
poison the air! Blessings without number crown the
heads and cheer the hearts of those who labcur to main-
tain our natural and God-given brotherhood !"
At Vienna the anniversary of Independence was
celebrated on Monday ; his Excellency, John Jay,

ment. Mr. Johnson's contingent expenses during the

moderate. The contingent expenses of Minister Dix,
