TIE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL Con-
VENTION,

The Republican National Commit
tee met Yesterday, and decided to
hold the Republican National Con-
vention at Philadelphia on the first
Wednesday in June The time does
not much differ from the ordinary
custom Ut the Republican party but
the place has been selected with a
view to candidate the Pennsylvania
protectionists. Political parties are
so nearly balanced il Pennsylvania
that a slight circumstance may turn
the scale and as that State has the
greatest number of electoral votes.
next to New York, it is of great i'm
portance t o the Republicans to save
it, if possible.
The composition of the convention
is artfuily contrived 10 favor Grant.
The Executive Committee decided
that each State shall be entitled to a
number of delegates double its Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress.
ana that t!itIt SiliIi DC "" ClCSdtt
from each Territory, including the
District of Columbia, and that al;
these Territorial delegates shall be
entitled to VOC. Nothing could have
been more cunningIv contrived i'll the
Interest of Grant. He has complete
control over the Territories, because
he appoints all their executive officers.
Tie delegates from the Territories
are certainly his, and in Il close cou-
test they could give him the noinina-
ton. Tie double delegation from
each State i maniIr>tlv IL trick i'll his
favor. From states where the Grant
faction is ascendant it gives him Il
double vote; and what is more ini-
portant, il tends to neutraiiZc the
opposition TO him in States where a
majority Of the Republicans would
prefer i different candidate. In New
+ York. for example. if each Congress-
iunal District sent o!lv one delegate,
that delegate would be. in many
Instances, Il Fcnton man, and o Il
Conklim" man. But the a~rtiiice of
>cn,ting trn delegates from each
district, ncutralizcs the opposition t"
Grant. In all such cases, one Fenton
man and one Corkiing man will be
seul to the convention. and thus all
the votes in opposition to Grants
nomination will be n~rutrulizcd /:
whereas the plan of Il double delcga-
ton will give him two votes instead
of one from states which favor his
claims. Ifany doubt existed before,
none can be entertained now, that
Grant will be the Republican nomi-
nec.-lN. J. UOyid.

TIE PRINCIPLE OF MINORITY REP
RESENTATlONI

The House of Congress has passed
a law fixing the ratio of inhabitants
that shall entiile a district to repre-
scntation in the House of Represen-
tatives from 1872. The bill is now
pending i'll the Senate. and we would
suggest that it is ROW in its poverty
way of amendment, to institute Il
political reform fundamental in its
character, and greater than has ever
characterized history. We al
Jude to its migrating upon it the
principle of minority Representations.
This is no new subject, and it is one
that has always claimed and attracted
the attention of Congress. Formerly
a State could elect its Comgresslncn,if
it so chose, by tic general TICKET sys-
tenn. Thus the majority, say, i'll
Ohio, would choose all the
members. while the minority, al
,hougl. it might be nearly ome-half of
the people,, WORLD lave none. To
break up this. Congress, in 1872. CHI
acted that thereafter the members OF
the lInu>" of Representatives should
be elected by single districts, thereby
surprising that It would establish
something like equality of represent
tatiou between Tie political majority
and minority of the people. But
that has failed to accomplish the end
desired. Such has been the s!liiiiul
arrangement of districts, by lc"isla-
tiv"act that party lIavinga bare
majority of the voters las been en-
ablrd hy il to choose lour-iiitlis or
defeating the intent of the law OF
ioi.., to which wclave alluded. Why
should not that intent now have vital
efficiency! %
There should be an amendment
made to this cflcct-tllat the Con-
grcssmcn from every Stat" should be
elected upon general ticket to he
voted for oyer the State in this mail-
mcr. To each ticket. say. in Ohio.
which will be entitled TO twenty
members. there shall bc assigned that
proportion OF Representatives ,hst it,
vote bears to the whole number cast.
If the Republicans had twelvc-tweil-
tictliS OF the vote, they would have
twelve members and the Democrats
ciHht--ihc highest twelve and the
highest eight upon each ticket being
chosen. This doctrine is right. and
IL" party has amy particular interest
