To n. Edaor Of The T11un>
SIR: Allow me 10 suggest q resolution that ought
TO be passed by the State Convention about TO assem-
bic at Syracuse:
Resolred That the State Committee hereby instruct
ed In their call for State Convention 10 apporton
Delegates to said Convention follows First Dele
gate TO each Assembly District and additional Dele
gate for every thousand Republican voters. and
for "A fraction six hundred and sixtysix for two
thirds Of thousand; and that each County committee
IN the State be directed allow In their respective Coun
~ Conventions delegate TO each town, and add
onal delegate for every one hundred Republican voters
highest vote poed at the last general election for basis
This plan would not materially change the number
of delegates in State Conventions but IL would
base representation upon the party vote, instead OF
territory, population at present This also re-
cognizes the principle of sovereignty In territory,
population, for it gives in each instance first, one
delegate TO each Assembly District in State and one
delegate in County Conventions, but 1t also recog
nizes the principle that the majority of tho party
ought to rule the party in making the ticket and the
platform of the party.
That the lattcr principle is not acted upon in the
selection of delegates 10 State Conventions at present,
may be seen by the following figures which are Sc
iected only for illustration: The Third Assembly
District OF New York City had at the last election
1874 Republican voters. and the Eleventh District
2l3O Yet the voice Of the Third District is as pO-
tent in nominating ticket, or making platform, as
that of the Eleventh. OF of the Second District Of St.
Lawrence County, with 1857 Republican voters each
District having three delegates in our State Conven-
tons irrespective Of the number of the party in the
District.
The same anomaly OF a small minority of the party
ruling the majority exists in most of the counties Of
the State, and this Is the true reason why 80 many
bad local nominations made in the State. In
most counties three delegates are allowed to each
town. in County Conventions, and where the Repub-
iican maiorities are conferred in few towns of q
county, the Democratic towns have the majority OF
the Convention and make the local nominations and
choose delega to State and Congressional Conyen
tons.
That the Republicans Of the State demand this ac-
ton of the Convention there be doubt, and il
the Convention fail TO do their duty toward the
party in arranging for fair representation In con-
ventions there remains but course to be pursued
that Of calling mass convention Of the partYto
arrange just representation based upon tho major
ity Of the party. o.

The Connecticut Democratic Convention yes
terday genominated Gov. English and all the
present State officers. They very carefully
avoided expressing preference for any Presi-
dental candidate, although one enthusiastic
speaker, on his own hook, ventured to say
that he would vote for English, Seymour,
Pendeton Hancock, or Stanbery, and the
man he voted for would be triumphantly
elected The same gushing prophet says
that English will be reelected Governor by
5000 majority-so that matter is settled. The
resolutions may be briefly summarized thus ::
I-Denounces Congress; 2-DenOunces Con-
gress; 3-Denounces Congress- 4-Denounces
Congress- 5-Says they are IN favor of paying
our debt according to law; 6-Fayors equal
taxation (nothing about bOnds); 7-CitHens
abroad must be protected; S-0pposes now and
forever all shades of colored suffrage; 9-There
should be no laws to abolish the social (rum)
habits of the people; 10-BlesseS Andrew John
son for bis vetOes 11-lnvites Conservatives
to the Democratic fold; 12-Eulogizes the ad-
ministTatiOn of Gov. English.

Many of the State papers which have been
discovered in the archives of the late Mexican
Empire are of very interesting nature A
few days ago THE TRIBUNE published, for the
first time III the United States, not, as city
paper enormously represented it, the text OF
the decree and the Proclamation of Macmillan,
but an official account Of the proceedings Of The
Imperial Council of State, in which the bloody
October decree of Macmillan was sanctioned.
From this account it appeared that the Octo-
Der decree was not to be mere threat, but
that Macmillan intended to execute it. To
day we publish highly interesting extracts
from Maximian's black book, in which the
character of the leading adherents of the En-
piIe is described. We learn, with astOnish-
ment. that even the Government knew most
of the adherents of the Empire, including
Ministers, ambassadors, Projects, etc, to be
knaves. The Empire, as far as the national
wiz was concerned, was, in fact still weaker
than was generally supposed.

SENATE, Jan. 29.-The official report of the
purchase of Alaska was sent In by the Presl-
dent.
Bills were offered to abolish the District Court
of Eastern Texas; to grant lands for railroads
in Nebraska; to provide for publishing med,
zeal and surgical history Of the war; to sell
public lands in Alabama.
The bill to sell irOn-clads WIS amended so as
10 reserve nineteen vessels, including most OF
larger sort, like the Dictator and TO sell thirty
Eve after due appraisement and bids.
A report from the Conference Committee on
the bin to supply deficiencies in reconstruction
expenses, was adopted.
A bill was referred 10 enable Admiralty
Courts to decree salvage to interpretations for
wrecking purposes.
A bill was proposed to establish in the Treas
ury q National Bureau of Insurance. The idea
is TO SECURE the ful6llmept OF insurance con-
tracts, and provide security therefor.
The Reconstruction bill was discussed by Mr.
pomeroy and Mr. Buckalew, the talk lasting IN
III the hour Of adjournment.

though he were wolf and the Congress OF
that day will say he deserved it for being a
Yankee. No: we cannot rccedc We cannot
stand still. We must march right on to Uni
versal Justice and Impartial Freedom
"Perils from false brethren y - especially
from those who have access to newspaper
columns-must be manfully met, and, if posi-
bic. overcome. Half of these cavilers would
forbear If they only knew the dangers that
must be confronted, even Though it were inn
possible to vanquish them. They are talking
in culpable ignorance of facts which it is their
duty to learn and comprehend. Some think it
smart to be eternally finding fault with tho
action of the party they embarTass by affecting
to support But the more formidable share OF
the present clamor against Congress emanates
from men who are not appreciated by the Re-
publicans as they think they should be, and
who fancy themselves able, like Samson, to
oyerturn the fabric whereof they have ceased
70 be pillars, even in their own conceit. Inc
essential impulse of the war upon Congress IS
a design to PROSTATE the Republican party and
erect new ascendancy on its ruins.
We trust Congress will proceed promptly to
pass Mr.. Stevens's bill which excerpts the Re-
construction acts from review and notification
on appeal by the Supreme Court 1t does not
suffice that this Court is already precuded from
disturbing them by the express rulings OF John
Marshall and Roger i. Tapey. In view OF the
wel-knOwn fact that a majority of the Judges
now composing that Court arei intensely hos
tile to the policy of Congress, it would be urea
son to humanity to leave that majority chance
for defying the reason and conscience OF CHRIS
tendon with another bred Scott decision. Inc
Federal Constitution Cart. III. S2) explicitly
empowers Congress to except classes OF cases
from the appellate jurisdiction of that Court;
and here is class which plainly ought to be
excepted, unless it is meet and proper that Il
vote of five hostile politicians against it
should overbear and nullify the legislation
which has been carried in Congress by vote
of three to one. 1t is not enough that the
Court ought not to interfere. Let us " make as
surance doubly sure, and take bond of
Fate"

The Citizens Association have published
another communication setting forth the adj
vantages of their proposed plan of levying
taxes upon which We made some comments a
short time ago. 1t is, briefly, TO commit the
power OF levying city taxes to jury OF "a
citizens chosen by lot from $50 nominees OF the
Mayor, each Of whom must pay taxes on at
least $4,000 worth of property. This they
contend places the whole power Of taxation in
the hands of the tax-payers. 1t does nothing
of the kind; it places it ell in the hands OF the

a meeting of publishers. authors, and others,
is 10 DO held This evening at the Fifth-ave.
Hotel, for the purpose of discussing some plan
of international copyright. 1t is amazing that
so much difficulty should be found in carrying
out a measure of such evident justice as one
which gives man the same right of property
in his brains that he has in his crops or his
money, and we hope that at the meeting this
evening so emphatic an expression of public
sentiment may be elected in its favor as to
drive Congress into immediate action on the
subject.

The ". 7. Times Improves" the election OF
Gen. Beatty to Congress from the With
District of Ohio to say that
"Tbe Republicans of the With District Of Ohio have
not the slightest objection TO allowing tho Blacks to vote
in South Carolina where their votes are needed 20 keep
Democrats out OF office but they are not disposed TO ley
tcm vote In Ohio where their numbers are small and
their aid not needed The people OF the whole State,
doubtless share this not very hgtoneu OF
sentiment and it is by certain they VIII not act
upon H." -
We have already corrected the above I'M
truth Ind requested The Times to do so; yet
that journal reterates the misstatement and
fakes no heed of the correction. The Repub-
"lcans of Ohio" are not the trimming, selfish,
whiting short-sighted inconsistent creatures
that The Times delights to represent them. Their
representatives originated and passed, over the
solid Democratic vote, the Constitutional
Amendment according to Blacks all the politi-
cal rights and franchises enjoyed by Whites |;
they carried that Amendment to the People,
indicated it on the stump, and gave it 216,9S7
votes Mt the polls very small minority OF
the party-not more than an eighth, at most
saw fit TO vote with Valandigham and Pendle-
ton against it. We are told that they mainly
did so, not because the Amendment enfran-
chised Blacks, but because it also DISTINGUISHED
deserters, while many Of themselves were tech
nically in this category; having left their reSi-
ments and gone home to their families after
the Rebel armies surrendered, but before they
were regularly mustered ont of service. BE
this as it may, we insist that The Times shall
no longer confound its little squad of twad-
dlers with the great party they deserted.
