The Legislature has at last succeed
ed in passing an apportionment bill
The bill reported by the conference
committee was adopted in the Senate
by a vote of % yeas to 4 nays. One
Democrat and three Republicans vot-
ing in the negative. The vote in the
House stood 81 to 80, on tho final
passage of the bill. The nays were
nearly all Republicans.
As the districts are now formed the
Democrats will hold the Senate ioi
two years, after which it will stand II
Radicals TO 16 Democrats. But with
the increasing intelligence and dis
elimination of the voters of our
good old Commonwealth, we are
willing to risk the seventeenth Sen
atur. In the House the Radicals
have six majority. This we will risk,
too, on similar grounds. A change o.
four members will give the Democrats
that body. The new bill is quite an
improvement on the infamous gerry
mander of 1864 and the one passed by
the House the present session.
The Legislature has treated ouI

WELL SAID-Tfe Philadelphia Aqe
says; Judge Paxson, on Saturday
sentenced one young man to fifteen
years imprisonment, and two of his
guilty associates to ten years each for
assaulling an aged lady, with intent
to commit an Infamous crime, and
other ofcnscs. These men belonged
TO a gang of rufiians who kept the
people Of the lower portion of the city
In terror by their bad acts, aud, at last,
met just punishment for crimes com.
mitted. In passing sentence upon the
prisoners, Judge Paxson said: al
propose to make an example Of you ;
and we shall pursue the same course un.
tilyour associates shall have learned 10
respect The laws, or arc suffering its
penalties behind the bars of prison
| regret the necessity which REQUIRES
me to send young men like Won to the
Penitentiary for a long term Of years,
but with such offenders there is no
middle course TO pursue" When
bad men are convinced that the per.
petration Of crimes will be speedily
followed by arrest, conviction and
such sentences as the above, they will
draw the reins upon their lusis and
passions, and use the pistol and knife
more spariugly.

RoBBING THE PEopLE.-0nly year
or so ago il came to light that Con,
gresham Washburne, now minister

ship for lady in Washington, who
was to discharge no duties in the po.
sition TO which She was assigned, but
was TO remain in the house OF Mr.
Washburne and teach his children the
French language. The people Of the
United States were thus to be taxed
to hire u French teacher of the family
ofa Congressman who was drawing
five thousand dollars year and mile
age for his services. This was con.
sidered most contemptiblc on the part
of Mr. Washburne but what shall we
say of another and similar case al.
legged to have come to light ia connec.
ton with the management of affairs
thercl 1t seems that there is col.
orcd clerk in the treasury department
drawing salary oftwelvc hundred
dollars year, but who has no more
