Congressman at Large.

The position of Congressman at Large" to
which the Hon. John A. Logan has just been
elected in Illinois, is explained as follows:
The law Of 23d of May, 1850, fixes the num-
Der of members of Congress at thirty three,
who are redstributed among the States after
and in accordance with every decimal census.
An act of March 9th, 1852, increased, how
ever, the number Of representatives from two
hundred and thirty three to two hundred and
forty-one. by allowing one additional represent
alive to eight States, Of which Illinois was one
The number of Congressman Of Illinois was
thus raised from thirteen to fourteen. The
State Legislature of Illinois, instead of dividing
the State into fourteen DISTRICTS preferred to
elect only thirteen members Of Congress in sep
arate districts, and to have the fourteenth elect
ed by the vote of the whole State. This is the
Congressman at Large, for which Office Gen.
Logan has just received majority approaching
GO,OOO. Illinois is the only State in the Union
which has a Congressman at Large" mot
counting the States which elect only one Con-
gressman)

Congress will meet on Monday next
GEN. GARFrnrp. the able representative
from the leth, left Hiram for Washington
on Monday last. He will, we learn, in
troduce TO the House at once q bill more
clearly defining the appointing power Of
the Executive--a power which has been
90 shamefdlly abused since the adjourn
ment of congress. Andrew Johnson, by
his policy has excluded the Senate from
any voice in the appointing power by
giving office after its adjournment to
the very men whom it had rejected and
refused to confirm. We trust Gen. Gar
fields bill will contain provision that no
office-holder shall be removed without
cause-such cause to be reported to the
Senate as soon as it convencs, with the
name of the new appointee, who shall
draw no salary until confirmed. oi,

A BOLD FEAT.-The following from the
Buffalo Express is rather difficult to
believe, but it may be true: u
A painfully intense excitement was ex-
perienced by hundreds of people living
along Niagara River on Tuesday after
noon, at the sight of vessel with three
men on board being rapidly born down
with the current towards the Falls, with
out any apparent possibility of rescue
from the shore. The facts are as follows /:
AS a small Canadian trading schooner,
the Whip, Captain j. T. Young, was be-
ing towed out of Chippewa Harbor by
the tug Buffalo, the line by which she was
attached to the tug was broken by the
strength OF the current and she was
swiftly carried down towards the rapids
above the Falls. .e s...
The captain and two men on board saw
at once that they were in imminent dan
ger, having neither anchor or small boat
and being in such position that no one
dared attempt their rescue from the shore.
BY this time hundreds of people were
gathered along the banks, expecting moth
ing else than certain destruction to the
the vessel and her crew; but when within
couple of hundred yards of the com
menceinent Of the rapids, the cool head of
the captain conceived an idea which saved
the lives Of the whole party as well as the
vessel There was quite gale blowing
up the river at tho time, and the master,
with the aid of the two men, seeing all
other relief out of the question, ordered
all sail hoisted and sailed out of the very
jaws OF death, against the powerful eur
rent OF the river, absolutely landing soon
after at Hog Island in safety, hayig gone
further down the Niagara River than
any other man ever did in boat, and es-
cape. ~. HiiNp 'A 'tsFgp
The admiration and relief of the people
along the river banks, upon the execution
Of the captains plan, found vent in fire.
qusnt cheers when it became apparent
! that his efforts would prove successful.

MURDER IN PORTAGE CoUNTY.-A ter
rible murder was committed near the
village of Mogadore, on the line between
Summit and Portage Counties, on Mon
day morning last. The following partic-
ulars are given by the Leader:
AS rcportcd,a Mrs. Musson had put in
circulation various rumors discreditable
to the character of Mrs. Roofe and
daughter, living in Mogadore. A son of
Mrs. Roofe, a young man about nineteen,
became greatly incensed at Mrs. Musson
on this account, and on Monday morning,
taking apistol with him, he proceeded to
her residence and pursued her about the
house for some moments finally shot her,
killing her instantly. He fled immediate
ly, and up to the time our informant left
he had not been arrested. He served
three years in the Twenty-ninth Ohio,
and is said to be desperate character.
Great excitement prevails throughout
the neighborhood.

,bose material questions of public policy,
sbe her right disposition of which is so essen
tial 70 the public prosperity. twill be
upon r 4, these questions that the Democratic
nartv will triumph, and It win be by this
triumph that constitutional government
and our federal system will be preserved.
If the South be wise, It will not wait
ON this suffrage question, even for the
motion Of the Democratic party. If it
were wise, il win lose no time in putting
in motion the necessary machinery by
which il will at the same time save itselt
from humiliation, preserve it's own self
respect, rid the country of the most vex-
atious questions that ever distracted any
country, kin the worst political party
that ever existed on the globe, and put
the Union in the way of speedy restora-
ton. This machinery consists, of course
in Conventions TO revise the State Con-
stitutions.

The Chicago Republican, in a vigorous
article demanding the impeachment and
removal of the President, maintains that
Congress is the conclusive and final judge
of the nature of the acts which shall be
held to afford grounds for impeachment
and that, therefore, the impeachment and
removal may be made on such grounds
as may seem just to it. Technically this
is very true, but it is very plain, never
theless, that Congress would make a
great mistake if it should preform SO
gross an act except for reasons not only
tangible to the popular apprehension,
but carrying Impress of sufficiency.

HOMAGE GREELY has reason to felici-
tate himself. He has lived down even
the ISLANDERS of political opponents, and
forced them to confess both his honesty
and greatness. The New York Ne,os
wants him elected to the United States
Senate. Itsays: ''No one doubts he will
act conscientiously, and in obedience to
his conception of what is due to the we'll
fare of the Republic" That he 'sis be-
yond suspicion of coruption;" that he
sis humane, pure-spirited gentleman,
whose philanthropy and PATRIOTISM is
genuine" and much naore to the same eff
feet. 1-rf

PRICES Must COME DowS.--Bccvcs,
says the Boston Traveller of the goth,
that sold readily for 800 four weeks ago
would not bring 800 to-day; Sheep that
went readily at an average of Sc piece
then, would be sold at S5 now; and hogs
that cost &c a pound in Chicago were sold
in New York last week at TIC. Pork
declined s. SO barrel last week, and
the decline this month has amounted to
the extraordinary total of $l475. Four
extensive pork dealers at New York
have been compelled to suspend, and it
is feared that others will be forced into
the same position. The immediate cause
of this collapse in prices is an overloaded
market, but there is likely to be no reac-
ton, as far as pork is concerned.

1t has been quite frequently stated of
late, and is positively reiterated i'm the
Washington correspondence of N. Y,
journal that there are from $4,000 to Is,
900 troops in the forts around Washing
ington and Baltimore, and much, specu-
lation is indulged in as to the meaning
of the presence of so large force in this
vicinity. The facts are that the entire
number of troops in the Department OF
which includes the District
of Columbia and the States of Maryland
Delaware, West Virginia and Virginia
combincd-is less than 1900, all told.

MExIco.-A Washington dispatch says
that the President has received conmu-
nication from Gen. Sherman, announcing
that Gen. Sedgwick has crossed the Rio
Grande and occupied Mexican territory
with detachment of United States
troops. He is already in possession of the
city of Matamoras, avowedly for the in
tention protecting American residents.
A recent dispatch from Washington
declares that the act was unauthorized.
