fact beyond question thai a majority of the

for the removal of the seat of government to

HARRISON REED, the Governor of
Florida, has written a letter to the
Washington Chronicle for the purpose
Of setting forth the liabilities and re-
sources of the State. The liabilities
have prodigiOusly increased under
Radical sway; and, Is it is proposed
to continue extravagant expenditures
for the benefit of the carpeters, the as
sessments have been put into their
hands, which he thinks will double
the revenue and make the now doubt
full State bonds good. He gives the
debt as SOS, Ill II on the LIST of Janu-
airy; $205, 800 of which is held by the
Indian Trust Fund at Washington,
and the remainder within the State.
But besides, there is an Indebtedness
Of 1903, 045 O8 due on account OF
State trust funds absorbed during
the war-making a total indebt-
edness of $l,0l1, 756 20; the inter
est on which at seven per cent.
will be $1O,o22 =. Inc property
Of the State before the war was valued
at $l1O, 900, OOO-but is reduced now to
$25, $1,000. By the new assessors, the
Governor expects to raise the valua-
ton to $50, OOO, 900, and raise the taxes
to $500, 900. He represents the re-
sources of the State as thus sufficient
to meet all its obligations. 1t has in
operation 400 miles Of railroads and
1000 miles Of telegraph paying no rev.
enue. Foreign corporations, insur-
ance companies, steamship companies
and other interests not taxed being
brought into requisition the Governor
thinks will yield funds amply sufi-
cient to pay all debts. Doubtless-if
the taxes are used for that purpose.

NEW APPoRTIoNMENT.
Census of l860-PrObabls Census of 1870
Present and PrOhabIe Number of
Representatives, for Each State.

From the n. Y. Tribune.
We assume that the Senate will not
seriously--or, at least, not successfully
attempt to override the decision of
the House that, for the next decade,
the number of Representatives in
Congress shall be two hundred and
seventy-fve, with such additions only
as the admission of new States may,
from time to time, involve. These
will hardly exceed five in all, OF n
each from Utah, Montana, Idaho, Wy
oming, and Dakota, as they shall
severally be admitted. 1--WE assume
that New Mexico will be admitted at
this session, so that her member will
be one Of the 275.)
In the following table, we present,
/. The total population of each State,
as returned by the Census Of 1860; 2.
The estimated population of such
State according to the Census about to
be taken; 3. The number of its pres
sent Representatives in Congress; 4.
The number it will probably be emit
tied under the new Census. We think
this will vary but IN each from the
actual number in any case, and not at
all in most i~OgfanppS.

reputation which, for many years, has St
taehed to "Hostetter's Stomach Bitters'" as
the STANDARD TONIC OF g AGE, and the
large demand for the article, not only in the
the cupidity OF the C"oUNrERFErTING TRIBE,
and 1t has been extensively SIMULATED and
by INSCRIPTIONS sharpers.
The most daring counterfeit of said article
which has been attempted, has recently come
TO our knowledge. tn engraved steel label
with its beautiful ~vignette OF st. George and
the Dragon, its shield, containing a warning
against counterfeiters, and It's note Of hand
for " one cent" at the foot, signed with our
nrm name, has been copied so closely that
the fraud can only be detected on a minute
inspection. The dark label is also well coun-
terieited, and the wording on both the tmi-
tation and genuine, are precisely the anne,
the difference being simply in The execution
OF the work; that of the imitation being
somewhat o0aTser than the genuine. Other
cOunterfeits are on the market, which are in
all particulars the same as described above,
with the exception OF a slight difference In
the spelling OF our name.
In addition to the above, these counterfeit
ers have gone so far, In some instances as TO
place a strip of paper over the cork and tas-
ten to the neck OF the bottle, on which Is a
yignette, and otherwise printed to resemble
the general appearance of our proprietary
will disclose the absence of the nglre a,

IT is indicative of coming reason
and conservatism, and a return of old
fashioned sense and the appearance of
patriotism in Congress, under the
promptiHgs Of a public sentiment
daily growing more and more over
wheIming, and an encouraging sign
to see the Judiciary Committee, which.
comprises the brain of the United
States Senate, beginning to stand in
the way of usurpation. Of Messrs.
Trumbull, Carpenter, Edmunds and
Conkling, X, ofthe Baltimore GGzete,
says:
They, like many of the first leaders
in the French revolution, nOtg plainly
see the peril of the future, and have
gone so far as to deneunce further ag-
gfessions. Indeed, they have not hest
lated to acknowledge that the admit
ted violations of the Constitution here
tOfOre can only be excused upon the
plea of ~iRperdtive necessity!
Stewart, another member, lisa mere
trimmer, and Rice, of Arkansas, a
carPet-bagger, VIGOROUSLY unworthy
of respectful mention. OF course they
go for any measure however ini-
quitous. But the majority of the
committee have regulations at least
for intelligence to maintain. They
will be roundly abused, but the ex-
tremists have lost their power. The
prospect brightens that they have
gone nearly the length Of their tether.
The correspondent again says:
Differences of opinion have often
been tolerated, and ven applauded,
by this Radical Senate as giving an
air of sincerity, conscientious convic.
ton and honesty to the nefarious do
ings of Congress. The votes of Trum-
bull, FesseJT sen and Grimes, upon
even the great impeachment trial,
were excused, and they still kept at
the head of their several committees,
toithOmt so much as q threat TO dispLdce
them, and this at a time when the
Radicals were in full power. Who
doubts nor that if the extremists had

WASHINGTON correspondentsays:
T" Judge Davis, of the Judiciary Com
mittee in the House, has prepared a
new bill on the subject of n~aturaliza-
ton, which is likely to become a law.
The principal feature is that it pro-
vides for the naturalization of aliens
after four years residence instead of
FIVE, but prohibits them from voting
for six months thereafter. 1t gives
the United States Courts, where there
are any, sole jurisdiction of naturali-
zation proceedings, and in other To-
calities gives it to the highest court of
record. Reports are to be sent within
two months after the granting of
papers, to the State Department at
Washington, where an alphabetical
liza of naturalized citizens will be
Kept. The result of the bill, if passed,
will be to protect honest foreigners
from being manipulated by corrupt
politicians, and greatly to lessen frau

JUDGE ABELL, of the first district
court, New Orleans, In his charge to
the grand jury a few days ago, used
this language:
Gentlemen, I have already detained
you too long, but as the journals of
the city are earnest in denOunclng
fraud and corruption by public off,
GERS, and ask why the law Is not en-
forced against them, it is proper to
say that with the present jury system
any attempt to enforce the law
against official corruption would be
but little better than a farce. I am
satisfied that the officers of the State
and city have, by extortion, fraud,
bargain and intrigue, robbed the
State and people of more i9/ the
last year than every thief in the State
for five years. Ali, from the CATCH
pole to the higheskr &nd~'1}aslRe-tha

rosie exceptions, been unmind-
full that the glory Of all States consists
in the integrity of agents called
public officers. The remedy Is with

THE escape of Yerger from jail Gre
ated a storm in Radical quarters.
His voluntary return was used as
proof that the chivalry still had it all
their own way in Mississippi, and
that immunity gave them courage.
And now his being released on bail is
again to be used for the purpose of
making capital. The Legislature has
adopted the following resolution:
ResolUed, That a joint committee of
three on the part of the Senate and =
on the part of the House be appointed
to prepare an address as provided in
section 81, article 4 of the Constitution
of his Exeellency, the Governor, for
the removal from Office of t. Shake
ford, the Judge who sat at the trial OF
the writ of H06eds corpus for the re-
lease of Z. M. Yerger, and that the
said committee shall report on or be-
fore Monday next.
The Radical party no where yields
the constitutional independence OF
the judiciary. A judge may be hon.
est, his opinion unanswerable, and
his decision simply declare the law.
But If it crosses Radical purposes, or
capital Is to be made by assailing it,
or its author, they will not scruple to
stfike, and were it possible, would
disgrace themselves. Every lawyer
and every man of sense knows that
Yerger's was a bailable case. Make
the worst possible of it, it had such
provocations and mitigating circum-
stances that no intelligent and honest
jury can ever be brought to say on
their oaths that the homicide was
with malice prepense, rather than the
effect of sudden heat, passion and hui
man frailty. The proof of murder is
not evident, nor the presumption
great, and to have refused bail would
have been the denial of a eonstitu-
tional right, and have been a cruel
and shameful injustice. The judge,
passahly learned in the law, who
could entertain the opinion that bail
In such a case is inadmissible, would
be the scorn of his profession, and the
forsworn slave of bloodthirsty party
hounds. Judge ShacklefOrd has done
his honest d~uty-nOthing more. He
may be deposed-but he will be a
martyr to just dealing, and his execu-
TONERS will brand themselves with
infamy.
We will not do them the injustice
to say the brand would not be truth
full and suitably expressive of the facts
of the case.

THE death Of Judge Reeves, of the
Circuit Court, has created a Uaeancy,
which did not exist befoBe, and TO fill
which, therefore, no appointment
could have been made. We under
stand that Judge Swayne was sp-
pointed to act during the illness of
Judge Reeves-certainly not in legal
contemplation to fill a vacancy. BY
the death Of Judge Reeves, therefore,
it would seem that the Office Of Judge
Swayne was determined. There is
now a vacancy, and neither an
election nor an appointment to I'll it,
unless the same'has been made since
the vacancy occurred. Has Judge
Swayne been ~neappointed? II not,
by what authority does he hold his
court? In the absence Of particular
information on the subject, the ques-
ton seems to have some importance,
and we doubt not will be suitably de-
termined by Judge SWayne himself.
