THE ApPoRr1oNMENr AND TEST.

- 6.
AS this State Central Committee of the
Union party meet next Saturday, it be-
comes important to canvass what their
action should oris likely to be. Last
year the apportionment of delegates to the
State Convention stood: Storey county,
II; Douglas, 4; Esmeralda, 6; Humboldt,
S; Lander, Z; Lyon, 4; Churchill, 2; Nye,
2; Ormsby, 5; Washoe and Roop, Z. The
Union vote of Storey county, on which
this assignment of State delegates was
made, was 300. The Union vote Of the
last general election-upon which the
forthcoming ap%portionment should be
based-was, 1926. Comparing this with
the entire Union vote of the State, we
find that Storey county IS entitled to four
ninths Of the State Convention, according
to the invariable rule of representation.
What the particular object was-if any
thing special was in~tended-in having the
Central Committee meeting on the last
day Of registration work, we are unable
to say. 1t is rumored that it has been
agreed in certain quarters to insist upon
calling the primaries before another oppor-
tunity to register comes off; and to make
the test simply one of registration alto
gether, irrespective of past political afil-
liations! We shall see If this trick is to
be played against the Union party from
within, in aid of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
candidates We append q list Of the
names of the Union State Central Com
mittee.

The planters declare that they are ruin

The planters declare that they are ruin
ed, and that they who can must get away
to some corner Of the earth where they
can live like gentlemen. Their hostility
to the Government, so far as words 60, is
undisguised; they declare loudly they will
not acknowledge the rule of the hated
Yankees.-EGStern exchange.
Poor fellows! They don't seem to like
subjugation-not much. They III now
hankering after "a lodge in some vast
wilderness" or "some sequestered spot"
such as old Foote vas hunting when he
went to CanadS-where there are no taxes
to pay! Hope they may6nd it. But their
refusal to acknowledge the "rule Of the
hated Yankees" must hurt Uncle Sans
feelings very much. Perhaps they can
remedy that by again acknowledging"
JEFF. Davis-petticoats and all. Serious
ly, we wonder what the "plauters" in
tend to do about it?

IN the officers who were to be chosen. The
Constitution of the United States recogni-
zes those diversities when it enJoins that,
in the choice of members of the House OF
Representatives Of the United States, ''the
electors in each State shall have the quail

numerous branch of the State Legislature. "
After the formation of the Constitution, 1t
remained, as before the uniform usage tor

according to its own judgment and, under
his system, one State after another has pro.
ceeded to increase the number ofits electors
until now universal suffrage, or something
very near it, is the general rule. So fixed

of the people, and so unquestioned has been
the Interpretation of the Constitution, that
during the vivid war the late President new

avowed the purpose--of disregardins 1t !;
and in the acts of Congress, during that
period, nothing canbe found which, during
the continuance of hostilities, much. less at

departure by the Executive from policy
! which has so uufomly obtained. Moreover,
a concession of the elective franchise to the
freedmen by act of the President OF the Uni

colored men, wherever found, and so must
have established change OF suffrage in
the Northern, Middle and Western States,
not less than in the Southern and South

the freedmen, if they show patience and
