race Of political progress. will only sdd an
other impulse in the direction we have been
considering.
The same conclusion is to be derived from
the slightest study of that section which is
distanciDg all others in the acquisition Of
political power. The West is hardly a sec.
tion geographically, and still less can it bo
SO politically. Where is the West2 Like
Corporal Trims poor soldier, il is ''here to-
day and gone tomorrow. Its original
States, once the homes of adventurous pio-
neers, become old and conservative and ally
themselves with the Eastern and Middle
States The newer States are in population
the epitOme of the whole Union. In the
recent Senatorial elections al the West, but
one of the successful candidates was a native
of his State. A carpet-bag would well beft
the coat of-arms of any of these new States.
Such communities, of course, representative
of the whole country as they are, cannot be
sectional. They are Congress of national
electors, to begin with, and their own Con-
gressmen cannot but reflect the broad and
catholic type Of their origin. This then, is
the gratifying feature of the present-and
probably of every future--redistributi of
political power. 1t is grand advance to-
wards equality and towards the subordination
of class and sectional interests to the general
welfare of the people as a whole.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-02-07

The manifest-destiny policy Of President
Pierce was directed TO its acquisition. In
fact, our Government had negotiated treaty
with San Domingo October 9, 1851, called
treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation,
containing q secret article for the Bay of
Samans; but II failed to receive the sanction
of the Dominican Congress, owing 10 the
threats of England and France, who he'd OBJ
tanned information in some way of this
arrangement. Annexation of the whole re-
public of San Domingo, however, inevitably
to be followed by that of Haytiy will involve
us in something like a chronic Indian war,
will be heavy drain on our treasury will
prove graveyard to our troops, will be a
point of weakness instead of strength in case
the country should be involved in foreign
war.
The late speech of Senator Schurz is, how
ever, so exhaustive as to the impolicy of an
nexation that but little could be added. The
object of these remarks is solely to show
the uselessness of the appointment of this
commission, if anything else is intended than
manufacturing public opinion in favor Of the
scheme, to which, up to this day, the people
have shown decidedly the cold shoulder No
censure of the commissioners is implied. They
are honorable men; but they are on q most
singular errand, and may find out too late that
much against their will they have been used
as instruments to accomplish very bad end.
Two of them, as we pointed out some weeks
ago, DIR. Howe and Mr.. Wade, are men of
singularly unsuspecting and unjudicial turn
of mind; and whether Mr.. White, young,
shrewd, and versed in affairs as he is, will
be able, single handed, to escape the snares
which will be assuredly laid for the whole
party, is something which, much confidence
as we may have in his ability, it is permissi-
BILE to doubt

IndiaDa-and if there was no disfrauohise-
ment there is no reason why the ratios should
not be substantially the same-the vote would
have been 20, 900 greater. The disfrauchise-
ment we mentioned did exist, but happily, by
reason of the Democratic victory in Westyir-
ginia, will now exist no more
Coming to Missouri, the census once more
unerringly demonstrates che existence of an
enormous disfrRnohisement, the voters in the
highly exciting contest of 1870 numbering
but one to every 1929 of population. Give
Missouri the same electoral ratio as Indiana,
and her vote would have been IS. 900 creator
than it was Indiana, with a population of
1876, 043, cast 81 z, 500 votes in 1S7O and why
did Missouri in the same year, with popula-
tion of 1,7l5,000 cast but 167, 71O, unless the
restrictions of the Drake constitution dis
franchised the 15S, 900 voters who came to the
polls in the one State and did not in the
other Happily, however, here too Is radi-
calsm overthrown and the barbarism of dis
reimbursement gone with it.
Lastly, here is what the census tells us of
Rhode Island-that it had in 1870 but one
voter to every 1894 Inhabitants; as if to hint
at disfranchisement worse than that of
either Missouri or West Virginia. One voter
in IL is the lowest electoral ratio in the
United States, and is not to be excused on
the ground that 1870 was an "off year." first
because we know the faction fight in this
State made the election one of great local
interest; and, second, because in the Presi-
dental election of 1868, when the maximum
vote was out, the ratio was one voter in IL
The secret of what the census reveals in
Rhode Island is to be sought in the suffrage
laws of that State, which exact real estate
qualification from those naturalized citizens
who form so large part of the entire popu-
lation.

THE REDISTRIBUTION OF POLITICAL
POWER

From Eeery Saturday.
The figures of the last census have been so
far officially ascertained that one apportion-
ment bill has already been prepared by the
Judiciary Committee Of the House of Repre-
sentatives and another is in process of pre-
paration by the Committee on the Census.
Whichever-or whatever one-may finally be
adopted, the basis of apportionment will not
probably differ materially from that fixed upon
in the Judiciary Committees bill
At any rate, that will answer our purpose in
enabling us to get clear idea of the redistri-
button of political power which is to be made
for the ensuing decade, and which flows in q
great degree from the late most momentous
crisis in the history of the Union. The topic,
as one intimately connected with the new de-
parture of national progress, cannot but be
of deep interest to all rejecting citizens
The bill above referred to fixes the number
of Representatives at $50; and we fiud on in
spection of the list that they are distributed
among the great sestions of the Union ac-
cordng to the following table, which gives
the number of members both according to
the present and the proposed apportion-
mentS-

from tHe W. II. HOTtu.
A comparison of the census of 1870 with
the vote in that year of some of the States
reveals certain curious secrets. In Nevada,
West Virginia, Missouri, and Rhode Island
the population, vote, and ratio of voters to
population in 1870 stand thus:-

American Watches.

Every man who has anything TO do requires
reliable timekeeper A feeling of national
pride leads all to prefer an American watch.
But local dealers have for several years dis
couragod their customers from buying them
and for this reason only: A large, profit could
be made on foreign aoGtches, and the frequent
repairs such 'CdtcheS required ,gds a steady
source Of income to the 1C0tch-naGker. Wal
than watches have year by year grown into
favor with all who have worn thom; they
have proved not only reliable but economical
az repairs are seldom needed. They, like 9th
err standard articles, are sold at moderate
prices, which afford the retailer but small
profit compared with that which can be made
on other watches. But they require no urging.
They sell themselves. Hence, wide-awake
dealers make this up by keeping full stock
and selling Il larger number. Many dealers
now divert their customers from the Waltham
to other inferior watches, and, by disparaging
the Waltham and recommending these com
paratively unknown watches, they sell them
for a higher price, and thus secure larger
profit. We understand that Waltham watches
are furnished to the retailer at prices which
will enable him to sell them cheap and vet
make fair profit. Therefore, all intending
to purchase, and who prefer an American
watch. should insist on having their prefer
enceS respected.
