WITH tnlS Issue commences tn0 sixteenth
Volume Of tbe TRUE NoRTHRRSER, and the
2Sth number since the present proprietor took
upon himself the responsibilities Of publisher
and Of the editorial anaSement.
IN our salututory we promised that our un-
firing efforts should be directed to improving
the paper and making it q respectable local
paper conducted in the interests OF Van Buren,
County. How we'll we have succeeded, it be-
comes us not to speak--but the words of cheer
and congratulation that have come to us un-
solicited, encourages us to believe that we have
made some progress in that direction.
Our subscription list has nearly tripled, and
every week brings large additions which, to u.s.
is an evidence that our labors have been ap-
proved by the citizens Of this county. Our
efforts have not been directed to the reproduc-
lion Of occurrences in other localities, but
mainly TO matters in our midst, OF which there
is al abundance, for the purpose of making a
local paper. Neither have we sought 10 min
lister to the passions by taking note of and re-
porting all the disgraceful brawls that occur and
are likely to occur in all villages, through the
too frequent Use Of alcoholic beverages there
by bringing into prominent notice the worst
element III society. We prefer the course thus
far pursued-and think our readers Will agree
with us-of letting brawlers remain in the
greatest possible obscurity-giving attention TO
matters Of greater importance and OF more
general interest.
We desire to urge upon all who have any
prlde in the institutions of our county to aid us
IN extending the circulation Of the TRUE NORTH
ERNEE; and we will assure them that by so
doing they will materially help us TO increase
rs usefulness and permanence, and enable us
to bestow more expense upon it, and thereby
render it better and still more worthy Of the
very general support which has and is being
accorded to it.
Let all our readers recollect that our endeav-
or is to produce a newspaper for the people OF
Van Buren, County which shall be repository
Of past aud passing events which, like old wine,
shall improve with age.
one thing more We will mention in this con-
nection. and that is that we have not dunnsd
our patrons for arrearages of pay. We have
always found people ready and UiIling to pay
FOR an article which wss worth the price de.
manded and this idea has, III innumerable
instances, been brought home to us by the
question being put by persons who came to oui
Office for the purpose of paying for their paper
and have asked us why we did not dun them
The price is 20 low that all can afford to TAKE
and pay for paper that gives them as much
reading matter in ffty-two numbers, as OBJ
tained in any other form would cost from si1
10 eight dollars.
Therefore, let every reader of the TEUf
NoRrHERNER urge upon his neighbor the nec'
essity Of giving his support to his county
paper, which will keep him posted in all impor
tant matters, which are OF more interest tc
him and his family than the passing events OF
any locality hundreds Of miles away.

washington Correspondence New York Trioune.l
A leading South Carolina Republican po!iti-
clan, who arrived here yesterday, December
l6) says that 1t Is by no means certain, as has
been heretofore supposed, that the delegation
from that State 10 the National Convention
will favor General Grants denomination. The
Columbia Union, the only Republican paper 10
the State, In a late issue, urged that the people
should see to II that no Federal off1ce-holders
were chosen as delegates, or allowed to be in
fluential in their selection, and this he refers
to among other things as an evidence OF
change of opinion among the party leaders,
and purpose no. 10 support General Grant
for reelection. Information from Georgia in
dcates that similar disposition has begun to
be manifested there by the Republicans, who
opposed the Bullock-Blodgett faction in the
days OF its supremacy. and who, since its
downfall, have a controlling influence in the

Ye Cannot Escape The Counts:

From Bowen's Speech Impeaching scott.]
As to his present move being made In the
interests Of the Democratic party, he scorned
the imputation. 1t was made in the interests
of the people, who had stood by him for years.
1t was the policy of the Republican party to go
to the bottom of this matter, and he gloried In
the knowledge, when Re thought of his half
starved constituents, that there was power
beyond the House that might still compel jus
tice If the House proved remiss. The crimi-
nails might survive the present proceedings
but they could not escape the courts. to which
this matter would surely be brought If other
measures failed; and, so help me God, will
help any men who will move to bring this mat
ter before the Courts with all the testimony In
my possession, with al, the knowledge that
have, and with all my powers.

Where and Oh! Where is the Land
Scrip Gone!

from the Charleston Courier OF yes; ;erday.]
That Governor Scott obtained the scrip We
all know. We also know that the provisions
of the Act have not been compiled with. We
further kno,o that the Governor has been busy
ao;th other large frauds, of ,chtch he stands con-
victed on his o,on confession, and inuoluing
many millions of dollars, as is shown by the
report OF the House of Representatives, and
one would have supposed that Robert X.
Scott could at least afford to do his duty in
matter which involved the triiing amount oil
a few hundred thousand dollars. Such, how
ever, is not the case. From California we re-
ceive positive information that Mr.. William S.
Chapman, OF San Francisco, purchased from
G. F. Lewis, of Cleveland, Ohio, South Caro-
lima land scrip amounting TO 52,l6O acres at an
average price of ol 7-lo cents per acre.

The Charges Must be True.

from Bowen's Speech Impeachlng Scott
He was satisfied that his charges against the
Governor were true, for if they were not the
Governor would not have raised the hue and
CRY that he had raised within twelve hours re-
parding them. Ii he had been clean and hon
est in the matter he would have courted investi-
CATION, and demanded trial. Instead OF that,
as soon as the Grand Chief Of the Ring, as he
might be called, was proceeded against, 1t was
found that all his emisslries, the lesser satcl-
l:tes of the Ring, were fiockIng the floor of
the House and interviewing its members as
they had been doing all that day.

The New Apportionmenf.

On Thursday last the House passed bill
providing for new apportionment OF Repre-
sentatives in Congress, to continue until the
results OF the census OF 1880 are announced,
the number OF members beiLg increased
from 243 to 2S3. The New York World
exhibits, in tabular form, the results OF this
apportionmenta as respects the several States
The rule is that the aggregate population OF
the States is to be divided by the humber
OF members, and the quotient thus obtained
becomes the divisor Of the population OF
each State, such second quotient being the
number Of Representatives said State is to
have; always provided that il the requisite
number OF members for the whole apportion-
ment are not obtained by such division, the
States having the largest remainders aret
be given an additional member each, until
the full House is obtained. Thus the popu-
latlon OF the thirty seven States by the CEN
sus of 1870 is 3s,l13, ,25S; this divided by
2s3, the number OF Representatives, gives
l34, ,675 as the representative quota, and d.
viding this into the population OF each State
the first draught Of the new apportionment
is obtained. Next, we must credit any State
having less population than the quota
with one Representative, that being its con-
stitutional right by virtue. of being State.
Then the number OF members thus obtained
is added up, and il the sum fails to equal the
whole number Of members allowed under
the apportionment, the States having the
largest fractions of quota are credited with
an additional member till the House is CON-
plete. AS will be seen, the first divisions
and the constitutional requirements sum up |
266 members; seventeen are then to be OBJ
tanned, and are allotted in the order OF the |
fractions named from one to seventeen. Sub |
Joined is the tabular exhibit Of the popula- |
ton, members on full quota, fractional parts

[Frem Bow ems Speech Impeaching Scott.l
He continued that they might harp about
this proposed action being the ruin of the Re-
publican party, but he submitted that if 10 un-
earth frauds were TO sound the death.knell CT
the Republican party, it were better that it be
DESTROYED. His constituents were tired of be-
ing robbed to support in luxury men IN this
city, now rolling in gollen equlpages. If the
Republican party did not come to their assist
ance, they would have to take care of them
selves by finding new party affiliations.

1t will be seen that the New England
States lose two and gain one representative;
the Middle and Pacific States gain one each;
the Western States gain twenty-five, and
the Southern States thirteen.
In making the apportionment the Repuo-
lican majority utterly ignore the Fourteenth
constitutional amendment. Their refusal to
accept the logic OF facts Of their own crea-
ton was presented to Congress, by Mr.. Cox,
as follows: "Since no disqualifying circum-
ssstance but crime is allowed by the Four
steenth amendment to operate iu any State,
call those who are debarred from voting by
s'tax, property or educational restrictions
"must be deducted from the number entitled
.to representation. In cutting these of from
"suffrage, the State cuts itself off from the
numerical advantage they would give to
.its representation. Now Rhode Island dis
franchises nearly fourteen thousand males
.'for reasons other than that OF crime and
ssthat number is therefore to be deducted
..from the whole male population, which is
"by the census 2l7,353, leaving 2O3, 1853 for
"the actual voting population. These are
call who are entitled, therefore, to repre-
"sentation. Applying the standard OF 1885,
"2l9, this fails to give Rhode Island Sec
s.ond member. That is according to the
amendment which the Radicals have
always accused the Democrats OF ignoring.
"But the Census Bureau refuses to allow
.apy such deduction as that which the
Fourteenth amendment insists on, but
counts in all who have been disfranchised
"for other causes than rebellion or crime.
This will not do. The party in Congress
who made the amendments are required to
respect and obey them. What disfranchises
in one State must, by every principle OF JUS
,,c., disfranchise in another, and the appor-
tivLueul must lie governed accordingly
