The CAPITAL REMOVAL QUESTION.
The question of the removal of the
capital was pretty we'll debated Inst night,
and pretty effectively settled in the
Senate this afternoon. by the adoption Of
an amendment to the Legislative bill
approprinting half million of dollars
to build new State Department. This
was carried by nearly three to one. It
will be remembered that the capital
movers have for long time intended to
bring the matter up on the question of
making additional appropriations for
public works in this District, and have
been qnite confident that they would
prevent Congress from spending another
dollar here in that line. The discussion
IN the Senate demonstrated quite clearly
that there has been no serious Intention
of legislnting with n view to remove the
capital to tho West; and the result is the
more gratifying, for Congress is yely
generally disgusted with the municipal
government, better known rs tho City
Hall ring. : Washington Correspondence,

MISREPRESENTATION OF MINoR1TIEs. "A
great deal of discussion is carried on in
the political world about proportional
representation. The rights of minorities
have been often pressed rs founded in
justice and substantial right, but no
steps have been taken to secure them
until very lately. This is proposed to
be done by new system Of voting,
under the following plan: Each voter is
permitted to cast Gf he chooses) rs man Y
votes for one candidate us there are eau :
didates to be elected to the Office under
election. For instance. in this County,
ut an election for the House of Repre-.
sentatives, each voter could cast two
votes for the same man, or one for each
candidate of his party. It is sometimes
called cumnlatipg in voting. The effect
would be to enable every County OF the
State, perhaps, to be represented by on
or more members in accord with the 20
litical views of each party. If our Coun-
