The EAPPoRTIoNMENT BILL.-We trust the
reader will preserve the apportionment bill
which we have published, for future refer
ence. During the discussion upon the bill,
several Democrats declared that it was une-
quail and unjust, that it could not be defend
ed before the people, and as they were unwil-
ling to shoulder the responsibility, they voted
against it. We find in the Ohio State Jour
nal an article exposing its injustice and ine-
quality, which we copy below, promising to
recur to the subject more in detail when we
find time and space. Says that paper, "the
bill has nine districts with population ex-
ceeding 100000 and one of them exceeds the
ratio 1884; and the average population in
those districtsis l05,256. The eresult of this
is that it gives to the other twelve districts
a representative for every 5000 people
which makes deficit in each district of 1862
and 88,344 in the twelve-equal to one Con-
gressional district. For the purpose of Civ
ing to l56,S7s two representatives in Hamil-
ton or one to 78,439, and to the Cuyahoga
district representative to S0,5S3, and few
other light districts these advantages, they
have been compelled to throw away in other
districts one entire ratio, and rob them of a
member Of Congress. That some such ine-
quality is unavoidable, is perfectly manifest.
But dstricting which will give to 75,63s
people in Hamilton county the same repre-
sentation which is given to ll0,6S0, as in
the 18th district, cannot be justified. The
difference in population is 35,l42, and in
territory as twelve to one. They may take
out of the llth district, either Vinton OF
Hooking, and it will still be over the ratio
and may take out the largest county in it ant
still leave it ten thousand above the small
districts of the bill. Look also at the Ros
district with its l06,7S3; the Franklin dis
trict with its lO6,7Sl; the Ashland distric
with its lO7,395; the Knox district with it
lO6,792.
The lowest vote relatively ever cast by th'
Wing party in Ohio entities it to nine Con
gressmen in the State upon fair apportion
ment. The bill gives it four without th'
probability of another. If they district ST
as to pile up the same democratic majoritie
in the II democratic Districts of the bill
which they accumulate in the four Wing dis
tricts of the bill, they would have about 40,
600 clear Democratic majority in the State
Then the majority bill disregards all afin
tiles in many instances, and such as hav
been observed in this State from the begin
ming. AS examples, it puts Erie with Rich
land, and Lorain with Wayne.

CASDfD AcKSowLEDCEMENT.-I an arti-
Gle upon the course of the Democratic Re-
Uielo towards the Locofoco candidates for the
Presidency, the Eagie says
"Would II not look better were the editor
Of the RsUieiD 'to drop the shop while he
occupies his present position! We think 50.
The race ground and not the columns of
the Democratic Rerielc is entitled to such ex-
pressons and such style Of language. The
Review should aspire to tone and style far
above that used by fash sportsmen on a race
course. If the editor cannot overcome his
early education, IRE do hope be uH turn tito Gc-
count against the Wings, and not apply it to
the Gbue Of old and well tried Demo-
Gratis. We think by pursuing that course the
editor will impr0re the reputation Of the Re
view and aid Uery essentiaiiythe distinguished
individual he wishes to see President"
The Eagle must have poor opinion Of the
people of this country, when it intimates that
abuse of the Wing party will "imProVe the
reputation" of periodical and ''aid very es-
sentially'' the cause of a. Locofoco candi-
date for the Presidency. We would be sor-
ry indeed to make any such acknowledge
ment.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM MEzIco.-
By advices from Mexico to the third inst, we
learn that the Monitem Republican, con-
tradicts the rumor that Mr.. Letcher, the
American Minister, had stated to the gov
ernment that all diplomatic intercourse be-
tween the United States and Mexico would
be suspended, if the Congress of the latter
Republic did not ratify by the Sth of April,
the treaty relative to the right ofway across
the lsthmus of Tehuantepec.
The Moniteur Republicano publishes a
series of articles, emanating, no doubt, from
an official source, against the propriety OF
recognizing the validity of the privilege
granted formerly to D. Jose Gary, and also
against the legality of the transfer of said
privilege to an American company.
The city council of Vera Cruz have been
authorized by the central government to en-
ter free of the ordinary custom duties, Q
quantity of flour equal to that which was
lost during the late shipwrecks.

CoNGREss.--The National Legislature
doubtless possesses more talent than that Of
our own State, but at the same time, they
are equally at fault as regards the public
business. The following from the intelli-
gent Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland Herald will explain what they are
doing az well as what they are not doing:--
"The River and Harbor bill, the Home
stead bill, the various other projects Of dis
tributing the public lands, the modification
of the tariff-indced all useful and necessary
legislation has been delayed and neglected,
by this Locoloco Congress, and will continue
to be, until after the Baltimore Convention,
and very likely till after the Presidential G.
lection. The subject Of the Congressional
printing has been fruitful subject ofwordy
and angry debate, and is still the order of
the day. The "anterior" democrats are de-
tcrInined to bestow their 'plunder' upon their
organ, the WaSltngtoR Uai0n; as yet they
have been unable for the want Of co-opera-
ton from YOung America" a"-and the propo-
sition Of the Joint Committee, even, to di-
vide it between the Union and Republic has
been successfully resisted by the union Of
the Northern and Southern political fi!tbus-
brs. Congress has been in session nearly
five months, and the Presidents Message
and accompanying Documents are not yet
prinLed-the nominal Democrats have ma
jority in both Houses, of some sixty, and yet
they are unable TO give the printing to the
Uaion, the central organ o.. the party; e. the
union ofnominal Wings and Democrats can
not divide the printing between the central
organs Of the respective parties, because
those of different stripe are "not agreed"
The Free Democrats and Barnburners,
here, are "lyng low just now, but they are
silently and reyengefully plotting mischief.
They are brt upon running candidate on
their own hook, and their candidates are
thus Joo,ed: HoUsToS first; Dix second;
JoHS VAN BUREy third; CHASE fourth, and
so on a sliding downward scale till some one
is found who will "stand fire."
