sltiVe men are apt to be the finest will shrink
from the struggle with bullies and bruisers, aud
will leave the conduct of public affairs to the
mob of unprincipled schemers. Already the
habitual resort to personal vituperation ope-
rates as a terror to fair mindedness, as bonnt
on hypocrisy, as bribe to apostasy; for none
but the best can face it, and the best will not
choose to face it. Every man has an interest
IN the politics of this country. Every good man
has sacred interest in their nobleness, and
they who make it their profession to have poll.
t,cs IN their especial charge should see to 1t that
the good men who are interested in politics have
weight according TO their goodness, and that
gooo men who ar not interested become so.

VIII the south Accept the Best Attain
able Terms.

From the Herald
Very naturally the radical Copperhead organs
and the radical niggerhead organs are acting
together in opposition to the conservative Con-
stitutional amendment, just as they aided and
abetted each other before the war and during
the war. We expected no less than this when
we rescued the amendment from the oblivion to
which it had been doomed by the radicals of
both parties, and placed il clearly before the
country as vital, positive issue. 1t is because
these radicals so bitterly oppose it that the
Fassses of the people are becoming every day

NORTHERN srATEs.

1t will be seen that in this case Illinois, Maine,
Michigan, New Jersey, and Wisconsin will gain
one representative each, Massachusetts two, and
New York four.
Men of New York. New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, let it be well un.
derstood by every voter in your State, that the
Republican Congressional ticket means equal
political rights for the UOters North and South,
and that the ticket of the Democrats and the
johnson party means superior rights of the
Southern Uoters. Every man who votes the op.
position ticket thereby consents to have lesser
rights than voter in the Southern States;
while every supporter of the Republican ticket
insists that the Union men of the North shall
have at least equal rights with the late Rebels
Is IL possible that the issue between two such
tickets is doubtfull

Shall the Voters of the North Have
Equal Rights with the Voters of the
SOuthl
From the Tribune.
One OF the great questions to be decided at the
Congressional elections this fall, is whether the
voters of the North shall obtain equal rights
with the voters of the South, or whether they
are satisfied that the abolition OF slavery shall
even increase the superior rights which the
voters of the Southern States have thus tar en-
joyed under the Constitution. The matter is so
plain that, properly presented itcannotfail to be
understood by the dullest intellect.
According to the law of the 23d of May, 1850 it
was enacted that the number of Representatives
in Congress should be 1888; that the representa-
tive population (Which means the whole num-
Der OF free persons, excluding Indians not taxed,
with the addition of three-hlths of all other per
sons) determined by the census of that year,
ana thereafter, should be divided by said num-
Der 233 and that the quotient so found should
be the ratio OF representation for the several
States. The ratio thus ascertaned under the
census of 1860 was l24, 1873, and upon this basis
the 233 Representatives were apportioned among
the States. The number was, however, in
creased by the act OF March d. 1862, from 233 L.
241, by allowing one additional Representative
TO each OF the following States:-Illnois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Isand and Vermont. According to this
apportonment, the Northern and Southern States
had the following number of Congressmen:-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-09-29
NORTHERN STATES

1t will be seen that in this case the States of
illinois, Indiana Iowa, Massachusetts, and
Ohio would each lose one, and the States of
New York and Pennsylvania each two. On the
other hand, the States of Alabama, Georgia.
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia would
each gain one. As the total voting population
of the Northern States is 1862, 776, and of the
Southern States S,O26,700, this would give in
the Northern States one member for voting
population OF l26, s89, and in the Southern
States one member for voting population of
S5,496. Those, therefore, who oppose the
amendment or who, at the approaching eec.
ton, vote for Congressman OF the johnson
party, thereby vote that voting population of
l26, ,889 in the North snail have as much power
as So, 1876 Southerners, the immense majority of
whom are unrepeutant Rebels.
The Constitutional amendment upon which
the admission of the Southern States to Con-
gress is made dependent, and with it the Re-
publican party, insist chat voter in the North
ern States shall count as much as in the South
ern States. IT, accordingly, the voting popula-
tiOn be made the basis of representation, the
ratio of representation would be Ill ,685, and
the Northern and Southern StaGes entitled to
the following number of Congressnen:-

Now that slavery is abolished, the three-ffth
rule has, of course to cease, and the new ap-
portionment has either to be made upon the
voting Iwhite) population, as the Congressional
amendment provides, or upon the total popula-
tion, as will be the case if the amendment is
rejected and the johnson party have majority
in the next Congress. Slould the amendment
not be adopted, and the 24l members provided
for by the act OF 1862 divided among the States
according to their total population, the South
would gain zine members and the North would
lose nine. The ratio OF representation in this
case would be l29, 245, and the representation of
the Northern and Southern States in Congress
would be as follows:-

Road Laws Reasons for Their Amend
ment- Equalization of Work Required.

Mr. Cover Dear Sir:
| have been reading an cditori-
al in the HERALD of the 18th in re-
gard to Road Overscers and the want
Of proper men in that office to carry
out the provisions of the law in GOOD
faith for the benefit of the public.
And believing that we will not
have good roads without an entire
change in our Road Laws I will give
you my views Of the kind Of laws we
need tor that purpose.
In the first place it should provide
for the collection of AL except poll
tax in money, each town TO constitute
one road district and no more and
the Board ofTown Supervisors should
be overseers of all the roads in the
town, with power to employ q suit
able man to oversee and work the
roads ander the direction of the
board for the entire town, and the
poll tax should be worked under his
direction. and all other hands necos-
sary to be hired to keep the roads in
good order, and if TIE BOARD thought
proper they should have power TO
let the work on the roads entire OF
in sections to the lowest bidder to be
kept in good repair for term, say
of five years, with the privilege q
five more and give the poll tax fol
the contractor benefit.
Then the contractor would have
an interest in making permanent
work and not the poor and temper
airy work mostly done now.
The great defect in our present
system is that there is no equality
! in the tax required for the difi'eren

itary PREPARATIONS are actively going
on and troops are being concentrated
at threatened points, There are re-
ports of movements Of Fenians from
various points south and north to-
ward the border, ostensib!y to attend

concentration preparatory to another
raid over the border. The order of
