RADICAL GERRYMANDERING.

We have shown by reference to Ohio,
Illinois aud Michigan how the Radicals
manage congressional appointments. In
the latter State, notwithstanding the Demo-
Gratis polled 45.4S per cent of the total vote,
the Radicals took eight and gave them but
one district, and in that district the majority
is only about 900. To accomplish this
unequal division, the Radicals threw into
one district population Of l63,074, and in
another but 92,843, and so on. The Phil
adelphia Press, (Radical,) which was
moved to demand a fair division, shows
how the Radical Legislature of Pennsylva-
MIA did the thing. 1t says in its issue Of
April +:
'In 1871, at the last general election in
this State, there were j56,6S3 votes cast, Of
which the Republicans had PSI, 500 and the
Democrats 2G9, 800, a small fraction being
wasted on a Temperance ticket. The
Republican percentage Of the vote was
81 80. and the Democratic 1870. When it
comes TO reapportien the State for Con
oressional representation the lower house
Of the Legislature so divides it that the
Republicans shall have sixteen members
and the Democrats ten, or that the Repub-
Iicans shall have G1.53 per cent Of the rep
resentaiion and the Democrats 5S.46 per
cent. This means that while il, I4o Repnb-
Icans shall elect a Representatives, 1t shall
take $50 Democrats to do the same thing
A bill to this effect passed the House and
was sent TO the Senate. That body very
properly refused to approve it, and has
been charged with treason to the Republi-
can party and with defeating 'just appor-
tionment' Out Of the struggle between
the two houses came conference commit
tee and an amended bill which yesterday
passed both houses. As a piece Of patch
work this last bill is without parallel. IL
was stoutly opposed in the Senate by Mr..
White, who denounced it as gerrymander,
but afterwards passed that body. 1t gives
sixteen districts to the Republicans and ten
TO the Democrats, and will not Of course be
popular with that party"
Our Tennessee Radicals are requested TO
note these facts, and to bear in mind that
a siust apportionment" in Pennsylvania
was denounced as "treasOn to the Republi-
can party"

GRANT ON THE DEAD .'HERO OF
SUMIER.,,

In its notice of the funeral Of Gen. Ander-
son on the Sd inst, the New York World
taTtly says:
"The victorious North, as it regarded the
slow tribute Of honor, felt how much it was
deserved, yet how very slow it had been.
The living Anderson was neglected and
forgotten. 1t is only in his coffin he is
honored-and even then some luckieT sol
diers, though near at hand, withheld their
countenance. Our President, who but for
Anderson would be tanning at Galena still,
stood aloof, and was at Jersey City, seeing
Tom Murphy and Mr.. Borie off to Europe
as the minute guns told of the funeral Of
the hero of Fort Sumter"
Never was there a more unpleasant man
Hesitation of the personal" feeling, the sell
fish regard for ones own convenience and
disregard of the graces and amenities of
life, which in everything characterizes our
military Chief Magistrate, than on the oc-
casion referred to by the World. The
Washington Patriot says it has Teason-tO
know that the Presidents own discreet
friends deeply regretted it. 1t is exactly
the same thing, adds the Patriot, though
in rather a grosser form, as occurred when
Farragut was buried, for here the President
was at hand soa to emphasize as it were, the
indecorum. Nor are these matters of personal
demeanOr so trivial as to be beneath criti-
cism. The people whose suffrageS are
needed-nay, solicited-have a right to
know what manner of man, within and
without, they have honored, and are asked
to honor again, and there is no part Of per-
sonal conduct more worthy Of scrutiny
than those acts or omissions which tell of
the heart and temper. Of this nature was
the gross neglect and indecorum manifested
by Grant at the funeral Of Gen. Anderson.
But this is not all. When the remains of
the dead hero arrived at West Point, where
they were to find last resting place, there
was no military display, and to the inquiry
why the usual salutes were omitted, Gen.
Ruger is reported as replying that the War
Department had forbidden the usual cere-
monies.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16, 1872
No. 244. Young VS.. Steamboat Key City and Barge
Jim Sheets and Northwestern Union Packet Com
pany.-Appeal from the Circuit Court for the East
ern District OF WiscOnsin.-Ths is an action for
the breach of contract OF affreghtment occasioned
by the sinking Of the vessel carrying 1t. The loss
occurred in May 1854 the barge Jim Sheets and
steamer towing her then being the property of the
Northwestern Packet Company, and continuing
such until the LIST Of May, 1866, at which time they
were sold to the Northwestern Union Packet
Company. The libel was filed in November,
1867, and process served in April 1868. Upon this
state OF facts the Court enforced the Admiralty
rule allowing continuance OF the lien against the
offending vessels until q reasonable time Is given
to enforce 1t, and holding That as such time had
elapsed In this case before the vessels were trans
ferred to the present owners, the lien case must be
considered as lost. Third persons arc not to be
preiudiced by the delay Of a party neglecting to
avail himself of this lien. There being no notice
to the present purchasers Of the existence OF the
lien. it was cut of by the sale and transfer OF the
vessels. 1t is here contended that mere lapse OF
time will not defeat the lien, and that the convey
ance o. the vessel even to an innocent person will
not do 1t. N. J. Emmons for appellant John W.

No. o4I. Erskine VS.. Van Arsdale; Error to the

and 242. Same vs. Same.-These were actions to
recover the amount OF internal revenue duties paid
under protest upon thimbe-skins and pipcboxes
of cast iron, manufactured by the defendant in
error. The Court charged the jury that by the act
approved March 2, 1857, such articles made Of iron.
cast or wrought, were exempt from taxation, and
AMI Judgment were accordingly for the plain
tifs, and the government brought the case
here and maintained that the act applied
only to such articles in their finished
state, while the evidence showed that the tax
collected from the defendants in error, which they
seek to recover, was not assessed upon the articles
named In such completed state, but upon the iron
castings out of which such articles are made. The
question is also raised whether parties paying such
taxes must make protest at the time OF each pay
ment In order to recover all taxes enormously col
lected, or whether one protest Is suflicient--the
government insisting that protest must be made
