that knew at least that sergeant and four

The New York Eceaing Post, a well known
Free Trade Rep lblican paper, and of cours
/ opposed to Greeley on that ground if on n,
other, and still not friendly to Grant, com
mences an editorial with the following zig
nifcant paragraph
We are not among those who think th,
nom nation of Mr. Greeley a simple ilke
No doubt il is a nomination which has
great many Iudlcrous things about it. Mr.
Greeley has always been ludicroUs object
in our politics But the nomination for the
Presidency of the best known editor in the
I nited States means something quite differ
ent from = Joke. And w1en that nomi-
nation ~ made at g time when parties are
drifting helplessly about IN the open sea,
without rudder or compass, it becomes a
very serious matter. IL Is quite time that
those who, Of whatever party, believe that
the election Of Mr. Greeley would be a
serious national calamity, should arouse
themselves to the fact that bis election IS
not among the most unlikely things IN the
world.
The same paper contains the following
comments Of the reelection Of Senator Ferry
over Gen. Hawley, the regular Republican
nominee, by the Connecticut Legislature.
The Utica Herald entities an article con-
corning the reelection of Senator Ferry 10

Connecticut rreachery % what, pray2
A traitor Is one who gives up something
placed In his keeping-One who violates az
0blIgation-and involves the idea of iaithIess-
ness to a trust. But what trust did the Re
publican members OF the Connecticut legis-
,ature who voted for Mr.. Ferry violate Mr.
Ferry N 4de no promises to any one. He
was an absolutely free man. lie has not
changed one Of his principles. lie Is the
same man, persOnlly and politically, that be
was when elected tor the first time. That
he has withstOOd the general DRIFT IN po!iti-
Cal affairs, and stands forth to day as one
who is still faithful 70 his original Republl-
can principles, ind tteS, not that th0se Nh ,
yOteI for him are traitors but that they are
faithful to their political creed in a time OF
general . litical iaithlessness
The root Of the matter Is the caucus sys-
TEN. Politicians have come to look upon
the caucus supreme arbiter 10 pJllt ca
matters. Personal belief and Independence
OF action are considered to be not only anti
q iated, but crimInally di,gracetui.
lt is about time that the authority of party
should give way before the power Of midi
sIdu4lJud gment. To be a c'tizsn IS greater
n to be a politician, and to act u o. ones
own individual CONVICTIONS, IN spite OF the
Jlbes OF party VIII ppers-In, Is the highest
patriotism. We hope that the less n in
Connecticut will be read AMI needed by eve'y
voter IN this country, and that no one Will
be frightened from obeyIng his own iudg
ment by GLIB use of hard names.

The AMENDED APPoRrIoNXENr BILL.-On
Monday, Mr. E imuuds called up in the SEN
ate, the amended apF ortionment bill
introduced in the House by Mr.. VIII
lard, to give additional representatives in
Congress to the States Of New Hampshire,
Vermont, New Y ork, Florida. Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama
Mr.. COnking desired that the bill be laid
aside until he had time to examine it, and
Mr.. Thurman called attention to the fact
that at least TWO Of the States named
Florida aud New II tmpshire-w1uld, if this
bill passed, have representation far less
than q moiety Of the population required for
each, as the original app )rtionmenC bill was
passed. During the present session Of Con-
gress an attempt vas made TO secure for
these States an additional representative
each, and as no new facts bearing on the
subject have been discovered since the i'm
portant debate on the subject took place, DO
good reason has been assigned for increasing
the representation OF these States at this
time Mr.. Eimunds consented to Mr. |
