New-York tribune., 1872-04-26

There is now some prospect that cOnsdcra-
ton of the charges against our corrupt judges
will be had by the Legislature about May
+. Some question as to the pay of members,
when it will recommence, &C., seems to have
distracted the attention of the Assembly,
yesterday, and this small affair rather over
shadowed the moro important one OF the
impeachment of the Judges. There is still
some very decided talk in Albany
about the large corruption fund which has
been raised by the friends and allies OF the
accused Judges, and one local paper goes
so far as to divide up the amount, which is said
to be 100000, into moeties, nsinuatng that If an
Assemblyman resigns in the face of the pend
ing trial, his absence is worth at least $3,5OO.
This is mean, to be sure, but it is just what
Col. Rush C. Hawkins has drawn upon himself
bv his late childish exhibition of temper.
We have not the remotcst idea that the fool
ish Colonel is justly liable to the shadow OF
such a suspicion. But there is just one thing
he is morally bound to do, which will prove
the most effective answer to the sneer. lie has
resigned on the avOwed ground, according to
the statements of his newspaper friends, that
the Reform Legislature is lrretnevaDly cor
rupt, and that he is able to prove the charge
specifically as to men and measures. Let hiin
do Ii, and do it at once.

tho Alabama question that the Secretary

to the Alabama question; that the Secretary
of State has written to Gen. Schenck, express
ing his regret at the misunderstanding that
has arisen, saying that the claims for indirect
damages were inserted in the Case because we
conceived we had the right to include them,
under the Treaty; that the Case cannot be
amended or withdrawn, because the Treaty
contained no provision for the amendment OF
the Case except by Counter case; but
that we expected no award to be made for
them that we do not wish any; that III the
interest both of the United States and OF En-
gland we desire that none may be made; and
in consideration of these amiable dispositions
of ours, we hope that Her Majesty's Govern
ment will permit the arbitration TO go for
ward. If now the British Ministry should re-
fuse to listen to this humble prayer, they are
indeed d-hearted.
This, then, seems to be the foundation OF
those arcadian dispatches, full of mystery and
good will, which for the last forty-eight hours
have been coming to us from Washington, IN
timating that a satisfactory and honorable con-
clusion of all our difficulties has been reached.
1t cannot be denied that such solution
would be highly satisfactory and honorable to
Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Granville, who Will
have obtained it by trihing expenditure OF
tall talk. But if the people OF the United
States are going to regard 1t In that nghI
they have changed their character OF late
years. If this Administration had foollshly
allowed us to drift into war, it would have
been a deep disgrace. But even that would
have injured it no more in public estimation
than this unheard of and inconceivable exhi-
bition of incapacity Turbulence is bad
enough, but trucking is worse; and what
shall we say when both characterize the Gov
ernment7 If this Administration can boast OF
nothing else, at least it can say it has ex-
ceeded all its predecessors in getting into
quarrels without cause, and out of them with

vetocd. Better wait year than accept such
an adjustment as this.
It seems impossible to teach political ma
;orties the policy of doing exactly right
They repeat the blunders of past generations
as though they had never been perpetrated
and punished. John Randolph may have
erred in accounting majority OF one the best
conceivable but there is grave peril IN q
preponderance so overwhelming as that which
befell the Republicans of our State IN the
present Legislature. 1t seems unlikely
soon to be repeated.
New-York tribune., 1872-04-26
APPoRT1OyMENT FOR CONGRESS.


Among the duties unquestonaby devOlved
upon our present Legislature was that of di-
vding our State into thirty-twO districts for
the choice of Representatives in Congress un-
der the Ninth Federal Census As the legls-
lative session cannot be expected long to ont
last the hundred days for which only the mem
bers can draw pay, we were disagreeably sur
prised when that term expired without report
to either Senate or Assembly of an ApportiOn-
ment bill from the Committee to which the
subject was referred. At length, that Joint
Committee have decisively reported, and now,
in view of what they propose, we are rather
amazed that they did not wholly refuse or
willfully neglect the duty assigned them; for,
surely, no report at all would be less dlscred-
table than that they have actually made.
We test its fairness by few ready exam
pies:
The Counties of Westchester. Putnam, Dutch
ess, and Columbia, together constitute that
portion of our State lying north of our City,
east of the Hudson, and southwark of Albany
"a district say 1870 miles long by 10 to 40
wide. Across the Hudson facing these lie the
Counties of Rockland Orange, Ulster, and
Greene, with Sullivan just behind Orange and
Ulster, but more intimately connected with
the former. These Counties have, by the late
Census, population respectively as follows:
New-York tribune., 1872-04-26
Total al..............72,444 7,47;


ROckland County is intimately connected
with Orange by their common artery, the
Erie Railroad whereas she has little inter-
course with Westchester and none at all with
Putnam. To tie her to the XIth District in
stead of the XIIth is, therefore, doubly unjust.
The Committees bill preserves and continues
the present AppOrtionment except in this City
and Kings, and in sevcring Schoharie from
Albany and uniting it with Ulster and Greene.
But the dsparities of population which were
tolerated in the last AppOrtonment have
been sensibly aggravated snce-the mainly
urban districts having rapidly increased in
population, while the rural districts have
hardly more people now than in 1860 Erie
County Gncluding Buflalo) had 14l ,071 in 60
and 1860 in 20: increase, 30, ,72S; while
ChautauFia and Cattaraugus, which in go had
102,2S8, have now but lO3,23G. To continue
these two districts as they are is to aggravate
injustice and defy the equal right of all the
people to be represented in Congress
Two interests fight against justice: 1. That
of party ascendency, "fecling power, and for
"getting right" O. That of personal aspira-
ton. Thus Oneida. with population of only
1O5, ,9O2 in 80 and but 1lOOOS in 20, ought no
longer to form whole district Lewis, with
28,699 inhabitants, added to her, would give just
about the right number. But "there Is q

Let us suppose it the sole object to appor-
ton these Counties fairly and justly, and bear
ing in mind that Westchester is very rapidly
increasing in population-having had but 99,497
in 1860, and being morally certain to have
100000 within the ensuing ten years, while the
rest of these Counties are increasing more
slowly, Putnam and Sullivan very little, and
Greene not at all-who does not see that their

New-York tribune., 1872-04-26

In the above table, the two districts which
fall slightly below the ratio are very rapidly
increasing in population, and will evidently
have more inhabitants than any two beside
them before this Apportionment will be super.
seded by another. Now see how the Joint

The American public has great passion for erect

A characteristic story comes to us from Ken
tucky. A party of disguised men went to a
house occupied by negroes, broke open the
DOORS seized one of the inmates, the other
having fled, and cruelty beat him. This done,
the man was ordered to quit the country under
pain of death. Next day the coioIed men
packed up their effects and went to Frankfort
for safety. They call this sort of thing popular
government in Kentucky.
