We print elsewhere the bill fixing
the new apportionment of Congress
men, which passed the Senate last
week, and will no doubt be accepted
by the House. Its provisions are, in
substance, as follows:
1. That the House of Representa-
tives, after March Sd next. shall con
sist of 300 members, the admission of
new members from new States being
additional thereto. Such States as,
upon the ratio Of Misrepresentation (Which
will probably be about $4,000 popu-
latiou), which shall be entitled to
new members, shall elect them, this
year, on a general ticket.
2. A preliminary report of the cur
rent census, as to population. shall be
made before the 10th of September
next. So
3. From this report the Secretary
of the interior shall make out the IA.
ito Of representation, and the number
of members to which each State shall
be entitled, and shall inform the
proper officials of the fact.
1t lis not believed that any State, ex-

member under this bill But the

A SherIR gouabbIe.

It cannot have escaped the atten-
ton of our citizens that the Democ-
racy Of this county are not so harmo-
nious on the question of who shall be
their next candidate for Sheriff. Pre-
cedent and party service would seem
to dictate the Reorganization of Sher-
if Miller. But some of the younger
members Of the party. who have re-
Gently assumed the management of its
affairs and presume to decide its pol
icy, for some reason. are disposed to
lay Mr.. Miller on the shelf. and sub
stitute in his place Mr.. james Ferry.
a most genial fellow and popular rail-
road conductor, but who has never
been identified with the Democracy of
the county as q hard worker. OF
course Mr.. Ferry's friends have a
legitimate right to nominate him if
they are strong enough in the Con-
vention to do SO. but VIC cannot fully
appreciate the wisdom of making such
Wholesale attacks upon Mr.. Miller as
We find embraced in Communication
which appeared in the Courier of Sat-
urday. That correspondent says:
It must be very evident to every
good citizen In the county, that pub
lie offices and public duties are better
and more faithfully discharged, by
the election of honest, faithful, relia-
bic, business men. In order to have
faithful public servants, the people
must see to it, that our best and
most capable men, are nominated for
the various positions. to be filed at
the approaching election. As general
rule, a person who Is negligent and
Incompetent in transacting his pri-
yate business, will not be likely
to give satisfaction to the public, in
the discharge Of important public du-
ties. And, it is also generally true,
that a man who is safe, prudent and
punctual, in private concerns, will
serve the people in an official capacity
with the same good qualities. In this
connections, we beg leave to say word
in regard to the nomination for Sher-
if. It is q very important and re-
sponsible Office to the people, and
ought to be filed by good man. The
name Of James Ferry has already
been mentioned in connection with
the nomination.
After complimenting Mr.. Ferry in
the most lofty manner. the CORES
pendent proceeds with his insinua-
tions as follows:
Ii may be remarked that the Demo-
cratic party has plenty of good mate
rial from which to select candidates.
and can not afford to carry any dead
weight. lie can not hope 80 command
che support of the people, unless it
presents men for Office worthy of the
place they seek, and deserving the
confidence of the people. The public
demands the same faithfulness in the
performance of a public trust. as is
required In the performance of a pri-
vate one.
Adopting the style of argument in
which the Courier takes especial de-
light, we ask that "mendacious sheet"
why it permits anonymous correspon-
dents to assail the integrity of its own
party officials. Does the Courier dare
to assert that Sheriff Miller is not an
"bonest, faithful. reliable business
man" Does IL dare to assert that the
Sheriff is negligent and incompetent
in transactirg his private business,
