qress and of electors for the ensuing Presidential
election in November next. The act Of 80,
which have quoted, is specific in its provision
that this shall be 20. The condition that il pre-
scRibes, namely, that the apportionment under
the new enumeration shall have been made priol
to the election, is provided for in the act oil
1850, and will be fulfilled by the Secretary oI
the Interior, who, by simple arithmetcal com
putation, will, AZ soon as the returns abal be
complete, ascertain and announce the apportion
meut, and that certainly before the election In
November next And as if to make this inten
ton and provision the more clear and emphatic
the prouiso ut the close Of the section makes ar
express and contrasting provision, that in the
event that an app0rtionment under any new
enumeration shall not have been made prior to
the election, then the number of electors shall
be the same under the old appointment
This to my mind, is conclusive of the cues
ton. Moreover, the uniform practice in all pre-
ceding Presidential elections has been in accord
ance with this opinion, or might, perhaps, with
more prorriety, say that my opinion has been
based upon the Constitution and laws,a as have
quoted them, and as they are eucidated by the
uniform practice Of the government.

exercise of the elective franchise in the election
to the highest Offices in their gift. To enjoy thai
right, and exercise that franchise in an effective
manner, it is indispensable for them to know
how many votes they are respectively entitled
to. But upon this point, as ! have before re-
marked, there are opposite opinions; some con
tending that they are to vote under one appor.
tionment, and others insisting that another mp
portionment is to determine the number of votes
they shall give. If the old apportionmen is to
be observed, my own State will have but three
electoral votes; whereas, under the new one
she will have four. Differences much greater
than this, with other States, will be made by the
adoption of the one or the other apportionment.
Some States will lose, and others will gain votes
and relative weight in the election, to the extent
in several instances, of from three to four, and
perhaps Of GDe votes.

icy The Charleston Standard makes the
following comments on the case of Consul
OWEN:
IHE ADMINISTRATION AND Consul OWEN
Several weeks ago we published the letter of
Consul Owen, in which it was manifest that he
resisted the defence of his official conduct in
Cuba upon his instructions from the govern
ment IL seemed to us from his statement that
ne had not in any respect departed from his
instructions, unless his interference, at all, in
favor OF the prisoners be regarded as such de-
parture.
When Mr. Owens defence appeared, we pub
i,hed 1t without comment excepting that some
denial or explanation would be made by the
confidential friends of the administration. But
We have looked in vain for such explanation,
and as the matter now stands before the public,
the opinion must be that Oonsnl Owen has been
disgraced and called home for obeying instruc-
fions 1t is claimed for the present administra.
ton that it pursues an independent and fearless
course, standing up manfuly for the law, and
boldly meeting its responsibilities in the face of
popular clamor. We grant that in some in
stances it may have done so, but the case of
Consul Owen is not one of them. In his case,
unless the friends of the administration can
make some explanation of the matter not here
tofore suggested, every honest mind must con.
clude that the subordinate has been sacrificed for
the act OF his superiors. The proclamation of
the President, the subsequent correspondence of
the cabinet and the published statement of
Mr.. Owen, all lead to this conclusion, and if
the matter is permitted to rest here, the char
acter Of the administration for independence
cannot, Hereafter, be regarded as altogether es
tablished.

The senator from Suffolk had protested against
his remark that the Legislature dare not go home
without passing this bill. He did not mean by
that to say that senators dared not TO act up TO
their convictions of duty, but that with the
knowledge OF the peoples sentiments on the
subject, We dare not fail to do our duty, be-
cause by doing so, we may disturb party ar
rangements. For himself, he had no fears, per-
s0nal or political, and gave some further reasons
why it should be kept out of political mixture
or agitation, and protested against any attempts
to identify this measure with any Of the politi-
cal reforms of the day, passed by the coalition

observed that it was usual to call Free-soiers

ceedings in the Massachusetts legisature-to
the antislavery resolves of 1888, for which forty
senators voted, to show that the principles of
his party had been cOncided in. He said that
he was Democrat before that time, and that
he became an anti-slavery man in 1876, ut Wash
ington. In reference to what he said about
men believing that they were born "booted and
spurred" to ride the people, he said he did not
speak of the Wing party for he believed the
majority of them to be imbued with Democratic
sentiments but there had been class of men,
from the days of Governor Hutchinson to the
present time, who believed that the Democrats
were sort of outside barbarians, and that the
Free sellers stood below that mark-who form

them, and it would be found that all liberal
measures passed. within twenty years, had been
passed by Democrats and Wings with liberal
sentiments.
