FAMILY FAILINGS."

We often hear people talking about SIAM
lily fallings." A great many are really SUI.
perstitious on this subject. and confidently
believe that families generally have their
peculiarities, faults, &c. or as they are
pleased to term it, family failings. Ifthere
be any truth in it whether there is or not
we cannot tell; not farther, we presume,
than the examples juniors have set them by
seniors) we are not surprised at the cum
ming and adroitness exhibited by man by
the name of TAos. b. Bruce, who recently
forged check on Benoist & Co., of Saint
Louis, for the sum of $500; he first forged
letters of introduction TO respectable
house in the city, and then persuaded one
Of the firm to introduce him to Benoist &
Co.'S house, where he presented his forged
draft and pocketed the money. Suspicion
was soon aroused and pursuit given, and
he was taken in Edwardsville, Illinois.
1t appears that he is near relative of
the Hon. Thomas H. Benton-of Chapel
Hill, pension money, secret letter memory;
which goes great ways to show there is
some truth in family failings. He was for
merly guilty of some crime in North Caro-
lima, which gave him a title to seat in the
Penitentiary; but through the interference
of Col. Benton he was set at liberty, and
came to Kentucky, where he soon married
a respectable and wealthy widow, squan-
dered her property, and acted in such 9
manner that the citizens of the town in
which he lived gave him orders to leave.
He then came to Ibis State, married an
other widow, served her property in like
manner, and was supposed to be engaged
in burning a house, and running an orchard
by killing the trees, which caused him to
have to leave that place; he then came to
st. Louis and forged the draft above allu
ded to, and was taken into custody, anc
will, doubtless, if Col. Benton does not
again appear in his behalf, do the State
some service, to the tune of eight or tel
years labor in the penitentiary.

THE TIMES.
SATURDAY, JUNE a, 1912.
THE APPORTIONMENT BILL.

In the Senate on the 9th, the apportionment
bill was reported by Mr.. Berren. from the com.
mittee on the Judiciary, with several amend.
ments to it from the shape in which it left the
House. One of the amendments reduces the
ratio to $4,000, and gives one representative to
each State, leaving fraction over half the ratio.
If this amendment be adopted, it gives the States
of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Vermont,
New York, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
ssspp, Louisiana, Indiana, Illinois and Arkan-
sas, an additional member, and makes the whole
number OF Representatives 31S.
The secondhand by far the most important
is in reference 10 the clause providing Tor the
election OF representatives by the district system.
1t is in these words; "That, in every case when
a state is entitled to more than one representa-.
tive, and the election in such State shall, under
the la,cs thereof be made by Districts, such Dis.
tricts shall be composed Of contiguous territory,
and each shall contain representative popula.
ton equal to the number which, by the existing
ratio, shall be required for one member, as nearly
as may be, and no one district shall elect more
than one member"
The clause for which this "A substituted, and
which was passed by the House, read that
"when State is entitled to more than one rep.
resentative, the number to which each State shall
be entitled under this apportionment shall be
elected by districts, composed Of contiguous ter
ritory, equal in number 10 the number OF repre-
sentatives 10 which said State may be entitled
no one district eecting more than one represen.
tative."
We dislike both the amendments; the first,
because if the ratio Of representation had to un.
dergo any modification, we should have preferred
its being increased, instead Of decreased fol
peace and quiet and the despatch Of public
business, there are now too many members in
the House Of Representatives And the second
destroys, almost entirely the good that would
result from the district system. We hope the
amendments will not be adopted, and if no i'm
provements, carrying out the meaning Of the
law as it left the House can be adopted, that il
will be passed in that shape.
Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1842-06-04

2Oo dollars and 80 cents, which at the Gus
tomary rates, would have purchased 3o4
"a bushels.
1t appears, too, that Mr.. Hoyt purchased
abstract paper, or blue-aid English impe-
rial" ruled, which is charged in OILERS
bill at the rate of from 100 dollars or Id,
Zone hundred and forty-four dollarsD per
ream; its value being in New York, from
80 to AZ so per ream. "Impost-book pa
per-" whichis worth Is dollars per ream
is charged at from 70 to 80 per ream; and
deny, worth IL, at 40 per ream.
The Commissioner states that all the
supplies for the Custom House were fur
nshed at secondhand by certain favored
individuals who had an opportunity of pur-
chasing the articles at prices even less than
those mentioned as their market value, and
who of course, made an enormous profit.
"This system Of favoritism, so inconsistent
with the public interest and fair dealing,
was uniformly extended to the most violent
political partiSons who earned the favor by
their devotion to the hand from which they
received it." OLIVER OLDSCHOOL.

THE COALITION.

There has recently heen a coalition-politi.
cal-formed in this place, that we fear, will
prove troublesome to the Democracy. The form
alton OF this coalition has been as singular as il
is new; there are not "Many Citizens" engaged
in it, but those that are, have an inhuence-a
power-a control over the people OF this place
that, if exercised, as we fear it will be, will
prove Of too great force to be overcome. The
prominent actors are men of sagacity, knowl
edge, and immense LEGAL requirements; thi;
makes it so much the worse; and if the bell
that binds them together is not loosened, we leal
that it will take faster running than come of
through our streets some four years since tc
'head" them.
Tickle me and I'll tickle you." Go i
Tommy; come it Billy. You will yet make men
Of yourselves, the opposition Of certain othe
"Many Citizens to the contrary, nothwithsand
