The New Apportien n, ent.

The New AppOrtion ment.
For some weeks there has been q
dead lock" between the Senate and
House Of the State Legislature, on nc.
count Of the disagreement between
the two Houses on the spportionmcnt
Of the State ipto Senatorial and Log
isIativc Districts. The Senate has
Democratic Majority aud the House
Republican majority. The Senate
bill would have given the Legislature
into the hands Of tho Democracy, and
tie House bill would have increased
the Republican majority. Neither
branch Of tho Legislature would re-
cedc, although the House bill was far
more liberal aud just than the Senate
bill. The house appointed Commit.
tee OF Conference to meet q similar
committee from the Senate, but for
weeks this Committee Of Conference
failed to agree. In the meantime
there was dead lock" in legislation,
and many private bill asked for have
not been acted npon.
On Friday April 2lst, the commit.
tee at last came to an agreement and
the bill as published below was report
cd to both houses and passed by a
large majority. The bill is pretty
fair one-as good as could be expect
cd. This bill will give the Republicans
one majority in the Senate after 1872,
and six in the House. The Republi.
cans ore entitled 10 this majority, q,
least, on On average voto Of the Sem
ate.
Our Senatorial district will be the
l7tb, and be composed Of the counties
of Snyder, Perry, Northumberland
and Union, electiug one Senator
On full and fair vote the district

jority.
