admit Ill members to which each State Is enti-
tied according to the ceoeus, the Senate would
have no business to object, because eAch

But in this case both Senate md House have
sepatately voted for 4 new apportionment to
take effect in the next Congress. The suppo-
sition that their inability to agree upon the de-
tails ia absolutely binding upon the next House
performing it's duty under the clause OF the
constitution which requires that lsopresenta-
hyes shall be apportioned according to popu-
lAtion, is entirely gratuitous. unfounded, and
unreasonable.
Il The right Of the nett House to settle for
itself the basis Of representation Is lndlsputa-
bic, and VIC think it is, nothing binders fhe
practical exercise OF that right but tho neglect
OF the statea to choose the additional Repre-
sentatives to which they are entitled BY the
census. For We take it for granted that II the
Western States should generally elect pro-
risionA members, and demand admittance foz
them, the House would not hesitate mo-
ment. The only thing necessary, therefore,
iH to obtain united action by those States
which will be entitled to increased representa-
ton, and the State conventions or com
mittecs Of the different parties, By
submitting to the people provisional caudi-

Spain is improving upon both Portugal
and the United Stotes in the vindication of
marital virtue by assassination. A gypsy
of Seville has purified 4is household from
dishonor by numbering his wife, whose
fidelity he suspected, q policeman, whom
be charged with participation in the crime,
and his infant child, whose legitimacy was
involved in the main accusation. The
gpsies of Spain have not heretofore been
thought to be 3 race who relied on their
virtue as sole means Of subsistence, or
who troubled themselves much Us to whose
children they had, so long as they could
steal with grace and fiddle and sing with
out stint. But, now that moral insanity
has broken out among them, it may reason.
ab1y be expected that all who survive the
general massacre necessary to dispose
their unchaste members, will be as pure as
srypsies need to be. So much for the in
auence Of Christian examples even upon
the Egyptians of Spain.

The Indian Telegraph Cable and
the Great Eastern.

4 book has just been published in London
giving record Of the suh1nerging Of the Bed
Sea, Alden and Bombay telegraph lines, in
Which much interesting typographical informa-
tion is furnished, together with the important
part the steamer Great Eastern played in the
great work. It Was discovered by soundings
that sections Of the Red Sea display fall Of
500 feet in few niles, and then 4 grzdualriBe
Of TOO fest, and descent ogain on $50 feet.
This shows the very mount ainous character Of

We understand that s2,soo,oo Of the
new city bonds have been negotiatea by the
City Comptroller with the house of Dun
can, Sherman & Co., Of New York, at o744,
no commissions OF deductions of any kind
being allowed. The remaining 500, 900 of
the new loan is taken by the sinking
fund Of the city-that is, the accnmulations
in this fund are invested in the new bonds
to this amount. These bonds draw per
cent interest, and the negotiation Of the
loan shows that the credit Of the city stands
A No. l at the fnancinl centre Of the coun.
try. The loan being very large, and the
time for disposiug Of it limited, we thinl
that the Comptroller is to be congratulated
On the price obtained. The taxpayers are
to be congratulated, also, on the fact tha
this is the last augmentation of the cit,
debt that can be made for many years Il

The "White Stockings, of Chicago, have
sustained defeat at the hands of the
A1utuals," scarcely first-class club, BY
whom our boys arc beaten by 13 to 4 This,
added to their defeat OF the previous day
by the "At1antics," Of Brooklyn, ahoYs
that the Chicago Club is breaking down
from overwork- No base bull club could
play every day for weeks in succession, and
ride all night, and retain their fair working
powers. Those interested in the manage
ment Of this club, unless they are betting
on the other side, will afford them rest
before entering the lists again with first
class Eastern clubs. II they fail to do 50,
the *sWhite Stockings' will soon sink into
obscurity. Let them rest and, having rest
ed, fling down the glove again to both the
"Atlautics" and "Mutuals," and, if they
are beaten then, .:eld the victory gracefully.
At present they are probably beaten by thei1
own bad condition.

The latest agitation in Spain is for the
appointment Of the Prince of Hohenzol-
lern to the throne. Alternate reports ar!
rive that the agents of Prim are in Prussia
to make the offer that the Prince has &c
cepted it that it is to be proclaimed with!
out the vote of the Cortes denying the
last report, and alleging that prim and Ser:
zsno are acting in harmony in furthering
this choice, though the entire Cabinet are
not yet united On it. Hohenzolle1n con-
sists Of two small principalities, containing
about 400 square miles, and C5,ooo popu'
lation, which, in 1919, surrendered their
independence and became an adminiatrat-
i've division of Prussia. They nre ag.
ricnltural and Roman Catholic, and are
nearly surrounded by Wurtemberg. The
reigning dynasty of Prussia are described
as belonging to the house Of Hohenzollern,
thou gh Prussia itself grew out OF the Grand
Duchy of Brandenburg, and its reign
ing family attained power as Duket
of Brandenburg. What may be tn
relations OF the present Prince to ths
King of Prussia, and whether the astuts
genius Of Bis1nark is looking for an anti
French ally beyond the Pyrenees, ant
whether the election Of member of tht
Prussian reigning family would please Ma

ries raised by the new turn Of the polit1ca

through the importation of Chinese labor,
would it increase in any degree the diver

The measure which the present Confer
ence Committee on the Currency bill have
agreed to is, undoubtedly, the best that Gun
be had at this session, aud we hope the
House, notwithstanding their heavy vote
against the report Of the previous confer
ence committee, will pass it, It works lit
tie, if any, expansion of the currency, but
greatly improves its character by making
forty-6ve millions less of it consist Of pub
Lie debt, and basing ffty-four millions
more OF it in capital. It withdraws one-
eighth of the legal tenders which stand in
the way of resumption of specie payments,
and does SO without diminishing the total
volume of the currency. It gives the South
and West eighty millions of new currency,
and authorizes free banking on gold basis.
The last will prove, as the premium on
gold declines, the most valuable measure of
the session. We must unload our national
banking system from its present burdened
condition as monopoly, or it will he de-
stroyed.
II Congress adjourns without passing this
bill, it says to the nation, in effect, that the
Republican party is incapable of framing a
financial policy of any kind. That is not
the record on which we can afford to 60 into
our Congressional elections next fall. Let
Congress diminish, BY one-ejghth, our green
back debt, enancipate banking from its
bondage and its monopoly, give the West
and South eighty millions more currency,
and, TO the whole country, free banking On
"a gold basis, and their financial sins will be
less numerous than heretofore Let them
do nothing whatever, and the people viii
conclude at the next elections that the
cheapest place for them to do nothing is al

THE TWELVE APQsTATES.

The Western members of Congress who
voted to defeat the Apportionment bill,
whereby the West and South will be cheated
out of large share of their rightful repre-
sentation, under the census of 1870, and Of
their proper voice at the next Presidential
election, are the following: Beaman, of
Michigan; Blair, of Michigan; BUR-,
Of Illinois; Eldridge, OF Wisconsin;
Holman, of Indiana; Julian, Of In
diana; Knapp, Of Illinois, Law
renee, of Ohio; Niblack, OF Indiana
John A. Smith, of Ohio, and Stevenson, of
Ohio. These twelve treacherous votes con-
signed the bill to a committee, which is not
again to be called this session
What motives actuated them to combine
with the high tariff ring Of the Eastern
States we cannot imagine. These men
have voted to deprive the Northwest of one
quarter OF its rightful representation and
voice in the next Congress, and IN
the election Of President in
1872. Knapp and Burr voted
to cheat Illinois out Of five seats in tho
next House of Representatives Blair and
Beaman to deprive Michigan of three Rep
resentatives Eldridge, of Wisconsin,
voted to deprive his State of three Repre-
sentatives. Julian, Holman, and Niblack
voted to cut down the Indiana delegation
two members, and Lawrence, Smith, and
Stevenson, Of Ohio, voted to cheat their
State out of ten members; while schencR,
of Ohio, Crebs, of Illinois, Voorhees,, of
Indiana, and Winans, of Ohio, did not vote
ut all.
Ali these gentlemen will have good
time "e1p!aining" " their votes OF their
81 lodges" on this very important bill
Unless it is yet passed before the adjourn
ment, the consequence will be that, at the
next Presidential election, and for two
years in Congress, 500, 600 people in Hi
nois will, in effect, be disfranchised, 400, 600
II Michigan, 400, coo in Wisconsin, $50, 900
in Ohio, and ESQ, 900 in 1udiana, and that,
too, by the perfdious votes OF the mem.
bers from those States above named.
The bill had already passed the Senate,
by vote Of three to one, and the House
had only to concur to secure this measure
of iustice to the Northwest and the South
west These twelve Western opponents o.
Western rights and interests, and the fou'
dodgers could have passed the bill by voh
Of no against 90. It WAS only beaten t'e
votes, notwithstanding the twelve stabs
received in the House Of its false friends
We say again these gentlemen will have
lively time this fall explaining and justify
ing their recreancy to the satisfaction o
their betrayed constituents.

Senator Sprsgue denies in a peculiar and
doubtful way, SIR. Swinton's statement in
the New York Tribune that, if the Massa-
chusetts experiment in Chinese labor proved
successful, the spragues would introduce
it into their mills, which employ in all near
10000 operatives. Mr.. Sprague says;

cate arc simply diversified industry. / have

Mr. spragne clearly implies, in the above
statement, that, If he can Introduce Chinese
labor in q manner that is not IN
antagonism to labor now or hereto-
fore employed, and employ it IN prose-
cutting branches Of industry that have not
heretofore been conducted here, he would
do it; that, in such case, the Chinese 1abor
would, in no way, compete with Caucasian
labor, but weuld really promote it's profits
by producing something which eau
caaian labor would not produce,
aid by consuming products which
Caucasian labor supplies. If Sena-
tor Sprague, for instance, should import
10000 Chinese and set them to raising tea,
and keep them at it until he succeeded in
undertaking the Chinese article with the
present duties added, none would contend
