n New Apportionment.

We believe all parties agree that tine rights
and interests of the people require that a
new apportionment should be passed at the
coming session of the Legislature. Since the
census was taken, eighteen months ago,
upon which the present apportionment is
Ibased, the population of the Territory has
NEARLY if not quite increased one hundred
per cent. Whole counties, which then had
mot ten inhabitants within their borders, can
NOW number them by thousands. '.r'aer
The difficult point about the matter, how.
ever, will be to ascertain the proper data, to
so upon. 1t is quite too late to have CEN
sus taken and the plan which was pursued
in framing the last apportionment, although
then acted upon through necessity,is is open tc
anany objections. t., I..is +. qat ,d
We would suggest that the Registers o
Deeds of the several counties forward to The
Secretary of the Territory the aggregate vote
polled in the counties at the late election. Il
rs true, this will not be proper test of pop
ailation; but with the information which
anembers will bring themselves to the capita
as to the emigration this year in their severa
localities, some basis may be had whereupor
to proceed. ~zs-
If our contemporaries of the press through
out the Territory think this suggestion wor
thy of adoption, or can improve upon th'
plan, as we hope they can, we should lik'
to hear from them. ..,.,, ,.it -t,t.o

E The London Athenmum says that
a literary treasure has turned up-no less
than second copy of the second edition Of
Hamlet, the quarto of 1908 During the
week an Irish bookseller has been myste'
riously hawking about London this precious
work, which has hitherto possessed the rar-
ity of manuscript. The only known copy
belonged to the Duke of Devonshire, and
was reprinted few years ago. As mos1
readers know, the Devonshire Hamlet is i'm
perfect, wanting the last leaf The SECOND
copy also wants leaf-happily not the last
but the first-the title page. We have now
therefore, = complete COPY Of thsT osigna
text of Hamlet j; and the newly recovered
leaf contsins: we are told, newI and, i'm
tportant reading. It has been purchased 70

The official returns show that Colfax i.

Wilson. The Indianapolis Journal says. ].
|" More than fifteen hundred illegal Irish
votes from Illinois were polled against him,
By dint of hard lying the Democrats have
thought to make their little and delusive vic
tory appear enormous and substantial They
reported Colfax defeated, and stuck to it till
they gave him 1872 majority. In the same
spirit they claimed 10000 majority for VIII
lard, and it is only a. little over 5000 and
cannot reach 5000. s,s.ofre

Gently brought man $4,000 in Bristol

man, and he himself also married, but re.

some years the writer of the letters died q

SOUTHERN DoUGHFACEs.-The New Or

Southern doughfaces. 1t appears that these
are they who are in favor of the Union
thorough jackson men-who resolve that it
must and shall be preserved. 1t seems that
one of these told New Orleans audience not
long since, in Lafayette Square, that the
South were ''incapable Of governing them
selves; that a Southern confederacy would
not last four years; that, in short time an
archy would prevail, and that the South
would be cut and divided into halt dozen
separate governments" More truth than
poetry in this.

Excess or payment by the Free 'i'iA
States, $33 972,OOO
This is tie way in which the national bur-
then is borne now. The Post-Office returns
as to receceipts and expenses present exactly
similar results. The South contributes less
than half the sum disbursed there, and less
than half her pro rata amount amount accor-
ding to population. We have not now time
to show the distribution of appropriations,
as between the sections. We may do so
hereafter. Southern politicians are in the
habit of assuming that their States receive
less than they furnish. This is mistake.
They are very greatly favored in the distri
button of the national revenues: But the
subject grows upon our hands, In another
article we propose to deveiopc some of the
other advantages which the South derives
from the Union, s compared with which do.-
lars and cents are impalpable dust. I,f.I,
The oNrth is now, as she has ever been,
satisfied with the Union and proud Of it; and
she spurns the miserable slanderers who &C
cuse her of hostility to the compact which
binds her to her sisters, or of infidelity to
her engagements under it.
