ANOTHER REPREsENTATIvE.-By the returns Of
the Census to the House of Representatives, it APP
pears that Maryland will have an additional Repre-
sentative for her fraction of 1886 population, over
the number which gives her six Congressman.
1t will thereto be necessary to re-district the
State at the next Legislature.
[A1napoEs Republican Of Saturday.
The Republican and other Of our respected con-
tauauasaxss N Maryland have not correctly aspra-
hended the late apportionment Of Representatives
to Congress from that State. In. according to Ma
ryland six Representatives, she already has the
benefit Of her fraction Of population the regular
ratio of apportionment; and without that fraction
she would be entitled under the law to only FIVE
Representatives. But, as it is, she is entitled to
the same number as under the last census, for which
the State is already districted.

DEBT AND IMPORTS.

The National hateHigeacer published some DAYS
since figures of the Federal revenues, made up at
Washington from official data to Both June Upon
these the Journal of Commerce, ever anxious to put
the best face upon the constantly balances
against this country from our foreign trade, takes
issue on the fairness of the Inelligencers tables
This is based on the suppositon that the latter de-
signed to conceal the falling off in the IMPORTS of the
present from the past year. The charge was quite
as likely to be suggested by consciousness Of the
Journals own practice in suppressiSg important
facts connected with the foreign indebtedness Of the
country as BY any appearance Of design on the part
of the Entellgencer.
We gave on the 1st Of July the imports for the
fiscal year, just then ended, at the port of New

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.


1t will be seen BY our Congressional proceedings
that the PRESIDENT declines answering the inquiry
of the SENATE, whether the King of the Sandwich
Islands had offered to transfer them to the United
States
We do not profess to have any knowledge on this
subject but what is common to all. Rumor, how.
ever, says that when the French threatened war
upon the Islands, because the King refused to re-
ceiye French brandy at FIVE per cent duty the King
offered to transfer the whole sovereignty of the
Islands to the United States; which would, as a
consequence, have transferred threatened with
them. If any such offer were made, it must have
been Of the most confidential character, and was
doubtless 50 communicated to our Government
The disclosure of the fact might even involve its
authors in utter ruin, and thereby subvert the Gov
eminent of the Islands, which has always been
friendly to the United States. No one can suppose
that our Government could be guilty of such per-
fdy, any more than that it could be guilty of the
folly of attempting to acquire the possession Of
those Islands under circumstances that must inevl-
tably have involved us in war with France.
Whileacting adisinterested part, this Government
"
prevent the threatened war upon the Islands, and
thus preserve their independence, instead of inyov
ing them and itself in common by its cupidi-
ty, the result of which no one could anticipate.
The independence Of these Islands is all-impor-
tant to the United States and we could never con-
sent that they should 90 into the hands of any of
the great Maritime Powers of Europe. While they
remain independent, VIC have all the benefits from
them that we could derive were they annexed to
the United States, without the trouble and expense
of governing and protecting them Our Govern
ment is not well fitted for colonization. We have
surplus population to spare and the inhabitants
of those Islands not yet sufficiently civilized to
form part of Republic, sufficiently enlight-
ened to maintain free government. They could
only be governed by standing army in peace, and
would be the first prey for enemy in time of war
