TEE LIouoa LAw.-The House discussed
the liquor Law nearly all day on the 29th.--
Caldwell offered . substitute to the bill be-
fore the House. He proposed to reinstats
the Code Law Of 1851. This was voted
down BY % to 40. The original bill was
then postponed to the 4th Of July, by vote
of 81 to Is. A motion to reconsider the
vote on Caldwell's substitute was laid on the
table and the House adjourned.
BY private letter from Des Moines,
received last night, We learn that the House,
on the LIST, passed an amendment to the
liquor bill, repeating the Law Of two years
ago allowing the sale Of native wine, beer
and older. The vote stood AZ to 33, and
our correspondent says large majority Of
the 40 were free whisky Democrats, includ-
ing the entire delegation from Loo.
MILKAoR.-John Sherman, Chairman OF
the COMMITTEES on Wsys and Means, has in

NEXT CONGRESSIONAL ApPosrroNxrsr.

CuMo VI our WoescTn p0Opi6 are CalCulA~
ting upon the possibility Of eleeting their next
Congressman under the new apportionment.
Now ! bslieve il entirely practicable and
right that the next Congress should be elect
Cd under il, slough in most Of the States the
election would have to be postponed . SEA-
son later than usual. But Notwithstanding
it 10 practicable, and to the West eninsntly
proper, il viii not be done. For six years
. great proportion Of tho West has been nm
represented, while the East and South have
bad their full representation. For instance,
for at least four years past Iowa has had suf-
6cient population TO entitls her to six repre-
sensatives. She has had bat two. In COM
mon justice and decency, the earliest law full
and practicable means ought to be improved
TO accord to the Western people their equal
representation and influence. They ought
not to be disfranchised q moment longer
than la necessary. Bnt there ia . petty jeai-
ousy of the rapidly Increasing West which
prevents the ready concession Of ito just
claims, and those who have to lose what we
have to gain will not be in hurry to do or
suffer justice. The census Law under which
the apportionment is made does not fix the
time when the new congressman shall be
elected under it; and - the Secretary who
makes it ont transmits copy to the next
House as we'll as TO the several States, action
will be had on ii in that House there is
nothing to prevent such action; and notwith-
standing the census returns may, AZ they
certainly ought and probably will, be in
early enough to permit the nsxt elections to
