The Congressional Apportiontment

The Chicago Tribune calls attention tc
the act Of 1850, as amended in 1862, pro
viding for reaprortionment of the House
of Representative among the States az
soon as possible after each census shall be
taken. By this act it is made the duty Of
the Secretary of the Interior, without wait
Ing for any action of Congress to ascer-
tain the aggregate representative popula-
ton of the United States This is to be di-
vided by the number PAL, and the quotient
will be the ratio of representation and
any deficiency in the number is to be made
up by assigning additional members to
the States having the largest fractions OF
population after such division.
If Congress makes no provision for a
change in the apportionment early in the
next session, it will, therefore, be the duty
Of the Secretary of the Interior to proceed
under the amended law of 1862. The
number Of Congressman in that case will
be two hundred and forty-one The pre-
sent Congress has two hundred and forty
three members, on account OF the admis-
sion of Nebraska and Nevada after the APP
portionment of 1862 was made
By dividing the number of people in
each State by the ratio thus found, neglect
ing remainders, 226 Congressman are as
signed to the several States, and fifteen
remain to be awarded to the largest frac-
tons. These will belong to California
Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland
Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia xand Wisconsin.
By this means Indiana, Louisiana Mary
land, North Carolina, Tennessee. Virginia
and West Virginia are barely saved from
. loss in their representation. The States
which lose representatives are New Y ork
three; Ohio and Pennsylvania, two each =;
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut and
Kentucky, one each, Illinois, and Mis-
souri, will gain two each; Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas
and Wisconsin one each.
Much opposition is made to increasing
the number Of Congressman, because the
House is already as large as can do bust
ness efficiently. But the fact that all the
New England States, New York, Pennsyl-
rania and Ohio, comprising all the north
eastern States, except New Jersey, will,
under the present plan, lose members may
possibly influence Congress to provide for
reapportionment early in December. In
order to prevent any loss to any Of the
States, it will be necessary to increase the
number of congressman to about two
hundred and eighty.

The Horton Case.

Gen, Butler has appealed to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to issue the papers
to the schooner +. A. Horton, retaken
from the Canadian authorities about
month since, on the ground that the re-
capture does not involve an international
controversy, and cites the case OF a Brit
ish vessel taken possession of by the
United States Marshal of Massachusetts,
at Boston several years since, and which
escaped from custody. carrying the keep

of our ports at which she might appear,
until the penalties incurred had been
paid. The Secretary of the Treasury re-
fuses to issue the papers until he is salts
fed it will not be the subject of interna-
tional controversy.

Death of an Old Lawyer.

Jonathan Morgan, of Portland, the old
est member of the Cumberland Bar, was
found dead in his room on Wednesday
last. He was born in Brimtield, Mass.
March 4th, ITS, being consequently
almost "a years old. He graduated at
Union College in 1908 and came to Maine
in 1912 He had resided in Portland since
1920. He was at work for years endeav-
oring to produce perpetual motion ma
chine, and claimed to have been the first
inventor OF steamboats,, having built 4
small steamboat in 1911 which ran at the
rate of four miles per hour. In 1900 he
published an English Grammar and re-
yised it in 1914. He also published u
medical treatise of sixty pages. About a
year ago he appeared before the Munich
pal Court of Portland, and managed Il

And, to bring the matter nearer home, it
is by the corrupt use of money, either in
the shape of direct bribery, or the scarce
ly less criminal employment of the patron
age of the general government, that they
hope to regain power in New Hampshire
next March.
1t is time to put an effectual check on
this nefarious and dangerous practice, and
this can be done only by the people them
selves. Our laws are stringent enough
against this great moral and political
wrong, and all honest citizens who have
due regard for the blessings of free
government, should unite in vigilant eff
forts for their enforcement. If all such
will take hold of the matter in earnest,
and deal with it in the way it deserves,
there is no doubt but it will be put an end
to, and they will gain a victory over the
most dangerous and insidious enemy that
political liberty has ever had to contend
with. No man or party ought to succeed
when success is sought by this means.
No man who secures nomination by cor
rupt means. is worthy of the support of
the honest men of his party and no can
didate, however fairly nominated, who
seeks to secure his election by corrupt
use of money, is fit for public position and
power. The only practice consistent with
the theory of free government or with the
safety Of popular rights and interests, is
for candidates for political preferment to
come before the people upon their own
merits and the merits of their parties, and
depend for success upon the honest judg-
ment of a majority OF legal voters. This
is the Democratic theory, and it is our
duty to insist that this rule shall be rigid
ly enforced.

West Virginia.

West Virginia has held state election
for Il Legislature and members of Con-
stitutional Convention. Nothing is said
of the result by the telegraph. 1t proves
to be a sweeping Democratic victory.
Had the radicals saved even a fraction of
their recent strength as party in that
state, the dispatches would have filled the
papers, every day for the last week or
two. AS is is, not a word by telegraph
that instrument being indisposed to tell
any more than it can help that is unfavor-
able to the radical party. The Parkers-
burg CIV. W Times says
" From almost all parts of the State the news
Of the last election results are depressing to
the Republicans. Ohio, Berkeley, Harrison,
Doodridge, Writ, and even Kanawha counties,
it is reported, gave Democratic majorities.
That the counties in the more southern part Of
the State have gone the same way there is not
in the least cause for doubt left. This is the
most signal Democratic victory, and a crushing
Republican defeat"

Another Little Irreqularity.

The Commissioner of pensions, having
investigated the case Of Col. Forbes, PEN
sion Agent at Philadelphia, reports clear
defalcation of 1872 900 without the slight
est mitigating circumstances. General
Silas Casey and Forbes's other bondsmen
will probably make up the money to the
government without delay. Forbes's
successor will be appointed at once.
General Baker is carefully examining the
bonds of pension officers throughout the
country, and proposes to ascertain their
complete integrity

On Friday last, while some men at the
torpedo station were at work ms lde old
Fort Wolcott, in Newport harbor, the
wheel of their cart sank deep into the
ground. Removing some of the earth to
find cause for this, one of the men
struck his spade against what seem to be
iron plate. This excited the curiosity of all
and they sat to work with a will to dig
away the earth above the plate. Soon
their efforts were rewarded by the sight
of an iron door, fastened with a rusty bolt,
On breaking this open, they came upon
flight of winding stairs, which they de-
scended, and arriving at the foot, they
found themselves in dungeon whose
gloom was made more marked by the
ray of dim light which solitary loophole
at the top admitted. Striking light to
dispel the darkness of the dungeon they
found upon the floor few withered bones,
skull and lantern. The lantern is OF
such an old-fashioned construction and
shape that it must have been made over
fifty years ago. 1t was altogether most
singular discovery. Who can tell the deeds
which this secret old dungeon may not
have Witnessed? Who can supply his
tory for these few dry bones, now brought
to light after the lapse of years.
