How 1T APPEARS TO OrHERs.-The editor
Of the Fulton (Ill.) Democrat visited Keokuk
recently. Here is what he says of the city
generally, and of that best of all frst-rate
hotels, the heming House. We apprehend
on everything but politics that editors head is
sound.
"We were surprised and gratifed with this
really beautiful and interesting place Built
upon hills, hillsides and valleys, looking down
for many miles upon the magnificent Missis.
sippi, and out eastward upon the timbered
and picturesque bluffs on the Illinois side, it
commands from every point of observation
most charming views. The city Is mostly
built up OF brick, and many Of the buildings
are pala,ial in size and architecture. Among
these is the Deming House, kept and managed
with superb ability by Mr.. Tepfer, one of the
best landlords in the country, and his hotel
one of the best We ever stopped at. It GER
tainly is the most charming of public houses
The rooms are large, airy and elegantly fur
nished. The tables are furnished at every
| meal with the choicest viands the market al.
fords, while the proprietor spares no pains to
make his guests delighted with the house.
We may overrate the good qualities Of Keo.
kuk by our partiality for this superb hotel.

The New YorH World inve,ghs against the
inequality of representation in Connecticut,
where some towns with hardly 200 voters
have two representatives, while Bridgeport,
with z, 500 voters, has hut one. 1t says:
This inequality of representation, grows
out Of the recognition Of the right of every
town to at least one representatives. pro
vision made years ago in the Constitution,
when there was no thought of carving and
cutting many small towns out Of one large
one. It is this Gerrymandering that gives
the Radicals their preponderance in the Leg
islature: and it has just enabled them to
elect Radical United States Senator in op
position tothe wishes Of the wealth and bus
mess population Of the largest towns, which
cannot be said to be represented by such q
Senator as O. S. Ferry"
But at the recent election there was ma
jority Of the popular vote of the State for the
Republican ticket, and it follows that tn,
Legislative majority is on the same side Will
the people. This, however, is not satisfacto
ry to the Democratic organ Of New York
which, under the aristocratic teachings Of tn
slaveholding oligarchy, dares to complain
that the wishes Of the wealthy have not beel
regarded by the Representatives Of tn
masses,

From the Ohio Statesman.
Suggestion TO Democrats.

With view to complete Endorsement
Of President Johnson's veto message and
his position that the Southern States are in
the Union, and therefore entitled to repre-
sentation, would it not be well for the Dem
ocrats everywhere, at the coming April
election, to run unexceptionable candidates
for the respective offices, and to make the
issue turn on that endorsement? If the
Democrats shall lose vote even in any
township, ward or city at the ensuing cleo
ton over the election last fall-that is, if
the Democratic majority shall be less or
the Republican majority shall be greater
the Disunonists in Congress will regard it as
an endorsement of their Revolutionary
course, and, as matter of cou Sc, as re-
pudiation of the Presidents policy. Meet
ngs indorsing the Presidents s veto are all
well enough; but if the Democrats shall make
the issues ofhis Endorsement boldly at the
April election and shall obtain increased
maioriies in those localities where they are
IN the habit of obtaining majorities, and if
they shall reduce the Republican majcrities
Ill those localities where the Republicans
are in the habit of obtaining majorities, the
result will be most salutary. Nothing could
speak with more potency to the Disunion-
lists in Congress that their course is disap-
proved of by the people Even should what
might be termed Conservatives Republi-
cans sucsed under the pretcncc Of findorsing
the President, it would not be 80 efica-
cious. t4s
1t seems to.us, that at this time it is par.
ticularly proper that Demo Gratis should
make unusual efforts to carry the April
elections. Indeed, they should make as
much effor., ifn more, as at even Presi
dental election. There is not much atstako
in the matter of Office; but in the matter of
the Endorsement of the Presidents policy,
the future success of the Democratic party
is at stake. The Republican press of this
State, with very general unanimty, de
clare that the people sustain Congress and
that they do not sustain the President. :
Whether or not they speak truly can be de-
termined at the April election. We hope,
therefore, the Democrats will take hold of
this matter with this spirit and energy, and
prevail on all the voters they possibly can to-
unite with them in pronouncing against the
Disunionists in Congress If they shall
faithfully do their duty in the matter, the
result will be one that will be gratifying to
Conservatives everywhere, and will strength,
en- the President to unfalteringly go right
forward i'll his great work of paeifcation.

The Legislature of Ohio have been work
ing their brains to devise schemes that
would give good salaries to broken down po-'
liticians who infest every party, and arc al
ways clamorous for the public "taSt." The
scheme is to appoint Commissioners to ex-
anime AMI supervise the Railroads of the
State. One Of it's provisions is, and we
presume it was made in order to meet GER
tain cuSes, that the commissioners who are
to have so much power over the Railroads
of the State are to be men who have no
Stock or interest whatever in any road 1t
strikes us that the whole scheme is too fool
ish to engage the attentiyn ofthc Ohio Leg
islaturc.
Railroad Companies have more interest
at stake to prevent accidents than has any
body else, as every accident creates great
loss to the road, and to have ignora minsns
undertake to manage the business Of Rail
road Companies would be great blunder.
We recollect hearing an old gentleman
testify III CUuTt WHEN u suit aDouG tDp tight
of way was being tsied that If. the train
should attempt to pass over a certain curve
it would surely Uj,srf. This identlcal~curye
is the iery safest place on the Cadiz branch;
but the spi..t of this bill is to appoint men
who have just about as much knowledge Of
railroads as this old gentleman 10 mana ye
the roads OF Ohio fla man has Il watch to
repair he viii not take it to blacksmith, Or
If he has horse to shoe he will not take il
to Silyersmith. The same rule should ap-
ply to railroals-ii mcn are appointed to at
tend to the safety Of the public they should
&C men who understand what they are Go
ing. .....
Our opinion is that the Railroad Conpa-
MES have the greatest interest at stake, and
are better qualified to manage their roads
for the benefit and safety of all than any
other body The whole matter is a scheme
to give paying situations to broken-down pol
iticians. and thus increase the burdens of
the tax paying public.

The Presidents Opinion of the
Test Oath and Constitutional
Amendments.

New YORK, Feb. 2S.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The President
was called upon last night bv Congressman
and State Senator, both from New York.
In the course OF the conversation the Presi-
dent said that the test oath was too severe,
that many Of those that had participated in
the rebellion were good men to represent
the Southern States in Congress, and that
the test oath ought not to be applied to
them. He added. that mere oath to sup
port the Constitution was all that was nece,
sary; for man who would take that oath
WAS loyal man.
As to the constitutional amendment
changing the basis of representation, the
President said that no constitutional amend
ment ought to be passed until the public
mind should be quite free from excitement
and the Southern States represented in Con
gress.
