The New ApportioEEDent.

Members of Congress have begun
TO figure on the new npportionnent on
the basis of the new census, now nearly
completed, SO many states are averse
TO losing representation, that 1t is highly
probable that the number oil Represen-
tatives in the House Will be increased to
2I5 Anything under that figure, it is
claimed, will make oven such States as
Ohio lose portion of their weight in the
Electoral College and in the National
Assembly, while New York and Penn-
sylvania would experience a heavy de-
crease Taking tho population of the
country at 39,0OO0OO, it is found that,
with 21j US the quotlent, the only States
that would lose Representatives would
be Rhode island, Vermont New llamp>
shire, and Maine. These figures seem
to be those pretty generally agreed upon
as to the number to constitute the next
Congress.

and false, and the vigor, and effective
ness and unconquerable skill! of the ar
nv of the besicging Germans, ever pur-
suing and never faltering, till victory
complete crowned the long and arduous
siege, is it surprising that history should
now repeat itself in the formidable siege
of the great capital Of france-Paris
itself2 The same desperation OF the be-
sieged, the same daring attempts upon
the besiegng lines, the same emulation
over temporary and often trivial sue
cesses, the same extravigant and incredi>
BILE rumors, come now as then, while (as
is plainly to be seem the powerful lines
of intrenchments remain, to all intents,
unbroken, and the matchless genius, dis
cipline and skill Of the investing Generals
and forces show no signs Of real failure or
inadequacy in these, the last desperate
struggles of the beleaguered city, and
its improvised, ill~furnshed armies. The
last spasms Of despair are often the most
violent. When the German legions give
way, we shall know it. But while their
walls of menacing intrenchment and
ranks of resistless steel keep their ground
essentially unbroken, all the pretestatlons
of French victories, and clamors OF Prus-
sian defeat and repulse, are idle vaunts
and meaningless appeals.

IT is now reported in Washington that
the President will probably withdraw
the name Of Vaughan as Governor of
Utah, and appoint some one who will
pursue a sterner policy with the "Saints,"
perhaps Cnllom, the present Chairman of
the House Committee on Territories. He
certainly should do so There is no rea.
son whatever why the Mormons should
not be made to obey the laws as we'll as
other, and better people Let them I'M
derstand for once that they can not vio>
late the laws of the United States with
out suffering punishment therefor, and
they will soon yield a ready obedience,
If, however, they choose to resist the laws,
let the government compel their obedi-
ence or wipe them out We do not be-
lieve in any longer coaxing and toadying
to Brigham Young and his pestiferous
crew. They are certainly entitled TO no
more consideration than the citizens of
other territories, and they should be made
to obey the same laws, no more, no less
IF the President shall inaugurate and
carry out such policy with the Nor
mons he will have done no small service
in behalf Of law and order, and in main-
aiming the dignity of the Government.
