ANOTHER FRIGHrFuL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
occurred yesterday. The scene of the disas-
ter was on the New York Central road,
q few miles from Rochester. The want of
an effective signal system is again
the cause which sends human beings
out of the world by violent death and
mains and mutilates others for life. On
reading the account of the catastrophe in
another column it will become evident that had
there been telegraph ct the station beyond
Pittston the dreadful affair would have been
averted The coal train broke down in q
sharp curve, where the approaching train
could scarcely see it before the collision oc-
CURED. Had the passenger train been obliged
to wait at Pittston until the whereabouts of
the coal train was made known lives would
not have been sacrificed and much valuable

TIE ROUND LAKE METHODIST CAMP MEET
ING (now that the Saratoga horse races are
over) has become the great attraction to the
fashionables from those springs, and is draw
ing many sinners to repentance. The Metho-
dists, in combining at these annual summer
meetings religion with recreation, or business
with pleasure, are prospering finely and under
this sensible system we say let the good work
90 on.

And 80 on. Or, to sum up, there are four
teen districts aloof from New York city which
are below the ratio of one hundred and thirty
six thousand and some Of them far below the
unrepresented fraction in the metropolis
1t is not our purpose now to discuss the par
tisan character Of this apportionment by our
'reform" Legislature. Happily the device
canliot be perpetuated. We will explain why.
When the supplemental bill for the nine addi-
tional members passed tho Senate of the
United States (as the Globe of May %, 1872,
shows) an amendment proposed by Senator
Morton, and supported by Senator Conkling,
was passed, providing that the words 'Forty-
third Congress only" should be stricken out,
so that the additional members from New York
and other States should be elected at large for
a period Of ten years. The intent was to
prevent 9 new distributing for that space
of time, and thus enable the party
in power to maintain their partisan ascendancy
in the House Of Representatives for the coming
five Congresses. The House, however MAY
%, 1879, disagreed to the scheme. A confer
ence committee was the result, consisting Of
Messrs Edmunds, Morton and Thurman on
the part Of the Senate, and Messrs. Mercur,
Willard and Cox on the part Of the House.
This committee refused TO accept Senator Nor
tons amendment the Indiana Senator alone
sustaining it. Both Senate and House con-
Cured in the report Of the Conference Com
mittee, and the bill became law. New York,
thanks to the action Of this committee, OBJ
tanned one member Of Congress at large. which,
we insist upon every principle Of right and
justice, and In accordance with the statistical
facts we have shown. belongs to the metropolis.
Her interests, so vitality affected by federal
legislation in all that relates to tariffs, revenue
laws finance, commerce, international relations
with foreign countries-in short, all the varied
and complicated business concerns of the great
entrp& of the nation-demand that she should
receive her full share Of representation in the
halls Of Congress. It is eminently proper,
therefore, that both parties should choose their
candidate from this city; and the Republican
State Convention, which Is to assemble in
Albany on the 21st proximo, will exercise the
part Of wisdom by 30 selecting It's candidate,
as we'll as will the democratic and liberal re-
nuhlican conventions when they shal meet

We repeat that this amount Of population
should give seven members Of Congress, as the
fraction, after providing for the six members
is, as we have already stated, 1872, 656; and as
that is greater than the fraction by which the
State gets the supplemental member, that men,
Der should by right and in simple justice is
due to the metropolis. 1t may be observed,
moreover, that many republican rural districts
have q full member for less than the ratio
Q36,119) and less than the fraction in New
York city Q32,656), as we shall proceed to
demonstrate. Most of these districts, it should
be remembered, lie in the western part of the
State, and all of them for distant geographic
cally from New York city, and possess local
and individual interests entirely different from
those Of the metropolis.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-07-20

the winter involves extra labor There Is no
outlay of money the whole city sanctions
more willingly than for cleaning the streets.
when the work is efficiently DONE The clean
ing brigade should relax no exertion, and now
that the accumulations under the contract
system are swept away, the public will hold
them responsible that the city is kept in q
wholesome condition. This duty is most i'm
perative while the summer lasts. Though the
heat OF the last fortnight has slightly abated, it
may at any moment return, and to permit any
fostering deposits in the streets or cutters
would invite disease and death. Absolute
cleanliness is the best safeguard we can have
of healthy city. If We fail in maintaining
such condition, there will be no doubt as to
who will bear the blame.
Our Congressman at Largc-Why He
Should BE Selected from New York
City.
Under the Supplemental Apportionment bill
New York State obtains one member of Con-
gross in addition TO the number proposed by
the original bill passed during the recent ses-
sion. In the present Congress New York has
thirty-one members. The original bill, based on
ratio of 1876, 119 population for each district,
gives her one more, making, Of course, her
number thirty-two. The supplemental bill we
refer to gives her one more still, making the
total number to be elected the coming fall
thirty three The supplemental bill was only
just to New York State, inasmuch as the State
had the largest fraction of the nine States
named in the supplemental bill. This frac-
ton, by the unjust apportionment manipu-
lated at Albany, is situated in New York city,
and u.s. in fact, totally unrepresented in the
National Legislature. The city is entitled to
seven members. She has but six, and q frac-
ton of 132,656 population left being only
small number less than the ratio of 1876, 49,
80 that while the State obtains her full
quota by the action Of Congress, New York
city is robbed Of hers by the so-called '.reform"
Legislature for partisan purposes.
Let us submit few figures with reference
to the redistricting and gerrymandering at
Albany and the history of the apportionment
measure at Washington, with a view to explain
why the Congressman at large, to be chosen
next November, should come from New York
city.
The ratio, we have shown, is little over
one hundred and thirty-six thousand. The
districts begin numerically with Suffolk,
Queens and Richmond counties as District No.
1, with population Of 147,2 We here see
the finger Of partisan gerrymandering as
well as the cheat upon the people of the dis
trict. Districts No. Q, 8 and 4 lie mostly in
Brooklyn, and are rather above than below
the ratio, with the exception of District No. 4,
which contains 133,557. The Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh. Eighth, Ninth and Tenth districts
are in New York city. Their population is as

The HIGH BRIDGE PARE.-Through the
faudable exertions of the Public Park Commits
sioners our citizens at the upper end of this
island are to have little park of their own, of
some seventy acres and the name-High
Bridge Park-will sufficiently indicate its
locality and its attractions. What with this
park and the Riverside Park, at Fort Washing
ton, and the Boulevards and other improve
ments, in progress or projected, in that quar-
ter, the northern end of this metropolis few
years hence will become an ornamental section
of which the people of the city and the State
will be justly proud. And to oil concerned
let not this important fact be forgotten, that in
making the city attractive to citizens and
strangers we make it pay.

The Alabama Claims Arbitration.

The Court of Arbitration which is sitting in
Geneva for the settlement of the American bill
of damages against Great Britain in the Ala
bama case does not make any great progress
towards the final completion of its commits
sion That is, so far as can be known with
the public press kept outside of the door Of the
council room. The national lawyers consume
considerable quantity of midnight oil, with,
no doubt valuable portion of brain material,
in the preparation of pleas and counter pleas;
but the gross total Of the American account in
golden dollars or guineas bright still remains
hidden away in the vaults Of tho Bank of
England. We are told that the point Of dis
cussion yesterday was the oil important one
''the responsibility Of England" Lord Ten
terden, who appears to be very vigilant in his
defence of the royal position, as taken at first,
denied her responsibility. This is about as
far as we know of the progress of the judiciary
proceedings. The rule Of secrecy toward the
outside world is maintained most rigidly
by the British. Mr. John Bull appears,
indeed, to have retreated within himself;
not corporeally, but mentally. He refuses TO
speak on the subject, even, when not in the
arbitration hall How is thsp Repentance for
the past, or fncsse in tho PRESENT. Is the old
gentleman not "free to confess? "-one Of his
own most favorite Parliamentary phrases. The
Italians have paid high and well deserved
compliment to Count Sclopis, the President
of the Court, in acknowledgment Of his effort
for the preservation of good feeling be-
tween America and Britain. The Court stands

ENGLISH HONOR TO SCIENCE AND PLUCK
Queen Victoria has commissioned Captain
Richard Francis Burton, the explorer in the
lake regions of Central Africa, Her Majesty 8
Consul at Trieste, Austria, in succession to the
late Charles Lever, the novelist. This is as 1t
should be. The appointment may be accepted
as o first excellent result of the New YORK
HEnALDs effort and outlay in the finding Of
Livingstone. If American enterprise can do
so much for the cause of science and humanity
cannot the Crown of Britain do something?
This is the argument which prevailed in favor
of Captain Burton in Downing street. We
congratulate him, as we'll as his Sovereign,
that it is so.
