CUM TIVE REPRESENTA-
TTON

Misfortune chasteneth. 1t is not surpris
ing, therefore, that a party in the minority
should fall to rejecting upon the possibility
of increasing its power. Ten years agothe
Democratic party in Congress was the most
insolent of majortics. From the attempt
to legalize the fOrcible thrusting of slavery
upon Territory to the murderous assault
upon Senator of the United States i'm the
Senate Chamber, it was ready and profusc
in excuses and even applause. When the
Supreme Court uttered its infamous Dred
Scott decision, the New YORK Express,
one of The mcst servile tools of the majori-
ty snecrcd, "Well, and what are you going
to do about it?" Drunk with power the
anscrupulous majority reckless of right
and ef reason, pursued a policy which ha-
manity abhorred and plunged the cosntry
into civil war. Destroyed by that war IN
every loyal State, the party of the former
majority now begins to plead for the rights
of minorifics.
II is for thh reason that AlT. Bhckalew.
Senator from Pennsylvania has introduced.
into the Senate a resolution providing for
the personal representation Of which we
spoke last week. How long would ii have
been before Mr.. Buckalew or any other
Democratic Senator would have proposed
such a plan had their party retained its
majority? We hope nobody will be delu-
dedAy the Senator's resolution into sup
posing that his party has acquired any pro-
found regard for the rights. 1t wants
power. That is the reason which leads
Mr.. Buckalcw to make his suggestion. If,
he saws, Pennsylvania were fairly repre-
sented, she would have twelve Democratic
to twelve Republican Representatives, in
stead of having, as now, eighteen Republi-
cans to six Democrats. When party in
power announces such principle its dec
laration is weighiy. But when a minority
party. which in its majority days showed
the truculrnt spirit Of the Democratic par
ty, begins 10 talk Of the exceeding justice
OF minority representation, we do not de-
ny the truth of the sermon, but we laugh
at the preacher.
Senator Buckalew's speech show at
least that the subject cxciles interest Mr..
Reverdy Johnson, another representative
of the minority. promised the proposition
his cordial support. 1t is some comfort to
know thai the plan is good, although II is
defended 10y Mr.. Buckalew and approved
by Mr.. Johnson. 1t is unqustionably one
of the plans which will be more and more
the more intelligently it is stud
led. Indeed. it Is one of the great forward
steps in practical politics which is sure to
be taken. Mr.. Buckalew's proposition is
that in the late rebel States each elector
shall I've entitled to give as many votes rs
there are representatives to be chosen. and
he may divide them as he chooses, giving
onc vetc to each candidate, or ''cumulate''
his votes upon one or more at his pleasure.

M iXI.NILIAN AND ca ELOTTI

George Alfred Townsend writes to
the Troy Times the following sketch:
In 1864 | saw MaXimilian and his
wife come to Paris Oh their way to
Mexico. He was sandy haired
sandy-bcardcd, spare man, bluc eyed,
and with Il mixed bearing wich | may
cali the martial al-efieminatc. Tic part
ell his hair in the middle, had sort
of blonde gravity about him, and,
generally considered, looked like q
young man about to he sent away
from home a trifle too late to look at
the world. / remember him distinct
ly at this interval. and to day when
[ read that he had been shot to dcatl,
with muskotry, 1 seemed to have a
vivid recollection Of saying to a
friend, ale looks green for n Prince
L know that both of us agreed that
there would be no Loyalty to his bear
ing, that the wild Mexican could feel
nothing magnetic in his eye, and as
we were both heartily inimical to the
cause he represented, we looked at
him in several situations to get fairly
the guage of his capacity.
There were dozens of expatriated
rebels abroad at the time, skedaddlers
from the Confederacy, and these
cheered Maximilian wherever they
saw a group Of silent Yankees
looking on; but in neutral cOnver-
sation with a room full Of these same
psuedo monarchists, they confessed
surprise at the commonplace appear;
ance of the Hapsburg adventurer.
His wife was more volatile per-
sonags, of fair attractiveness, but
whathe lacked in worldly expression
she accounted for ina destitution of
dignity. They were playing the part
or Mr.. and Miss Young Couple, buy
ing ribbons and rings, shopping for
the throne, going to shows, making
the best of their latter days in Eu-
rope, as if divided in feeling between
reluctance to quit it, and vanity at
the estate they were called to. =
MaXimilian was not blameless.-
He took year in cold blood to count
up the resources of Mexico and
measure them with his income. In
accepting this throne deliberately, to
which he had no shadow of right
hereditary or purchased, he followed
the traditions ofhis own family, new
er to refuse anything. He was a
pitiless husband, and took no note
! of his wife, faithful to maniacy. His
government was farce, his military
campaign idiotic. There has much
been said of his noble nature, but it
seems to have been all said i'm opin-
ion and very little in testimony. His
claim to Mexico was certainly no
better than Walkers to Nicaragua,
and sustained with farless intrepidity.
If people will have in this century,
and particularly on this continent,
the notion that they are annointed to
interfere with strange republics and
govern them better, they must accept
the martyrdom with the call. 1 write
you this note because the gushing
women of the land are preparing to
shed tears over the fall of a real
Prince, whereas there are men with
out grave on every battle field of
the Union who died more princely
than Macmillan either lived or died,
and got no tears, nor even mention

An 4 WKU1RD VOTE.

On Wednesday, eighteen Democratic
members of Congress placed their names
on record in favor of the Presidents sug-
gestion, that the United States had become
liable to the creditors of the rebel States
for the debts of these States due before the
war Two of the racmbefs who thus voted
are from tlffs 'Siaie-Messrs. Burr and Mar
shall. Blocks, who is the leader of the
Democratic party, voted that way. and of
course tie smaller fry followed suit The
antirebellion debt of those States was
owed by the people, and for its payment
the property of the State and OF the people
are bound. When the Rebellion broke
out, those States ceased to have any Con-
stitutionl State Governments, and have had
none since. The debt stands, however. as
il did, lien upon the property Ofthe State
and of the people. When Governments
are rc-established there, they will have TO
make provision for the payment of these
debts. The Constitution of the United
States makes it the duty of the National
Government to secure to each State re-
publican form of government. These
States having no such Government, the
United States, in providing them with such
Governments. no more becomes responsible
for their previous or subsequent debts than
il does for the debts of any of the iuhabi-
tants. If the United States, by taking mil
itary possession of the rebel States. and
holding the same until @awfal State Gov
ernments are constructed, become reliable
for the anti-rebell,on debts of such States,
why not also OF the rebel debt? The Uni
ted States dives,ed the 'Confcdcrscy" of
the ten States which 1t claimed; they took
al the property of the Confederacy which
they could find: they seized the ships and
the arms. and the cotton and the tobacco
of the Confederate Government, and des-
troyed and disbanted thai Govcrnment.--
If any liability for debts resulted from the
oblitcration Of the existing Governments in
the Confederate States by the United
States, the claim for the Confederate debt
ct-s sinly IS the strongest. The answer To
all this is that the authority OF the United
States to political supremacy existed prior
to the Confederacy. and all debts contract
ed Ivy States or others, were contracted
subject to the supreme Constitutional au-
thority of the United States to disperse and
set aside any reasonable. revolutionary or
hostile Government in any State. and To
erect and establish and maintain other and
republican governments in such States
The debt of the ,sebel States. contracted
prior TO The rebellion, was contracted sub
iect to- this authority on the part of the
United States, and the lstter, by an exer-
else of that authority. no more becomes
for the debts of The State than
does the holder of a first mortgage, by =
lawful proceeding to ioreclose il, make
himself responsible for subsequent and la
ter liabilities Of the mcrigagor.-Ind.
