THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

A paragraph is floating around through
the newspapers stating that ''the electoral
vote for the next President will be cast
upon the basis of the old apportionment of
2I3 members of Congress, instead of the
new one of 1885," and that ''practically the
South and West will be denied the in
creased vote for President which the CEN
sus of 1870 shows them to be entitled to-"
The Cincinnati Enquirer shows that this
impression is erroneous. That paper says:
an 1880, the United States census was
taken, and in 1892, the Presidential cleo
ton was held under the new Apportion-
ment made in pursuance of it. II was not
held under the ApportionmenU of 1920. In
1852, when Pierce and King were chosen
President and Vice President, the election
was conducted under the Apportionment
bill that bad been passed in pursuance of
the new census taken in 1850, and not
under that Of 1910. Now, in 1872. we are
in exactly the same position that we were
in 1852 and 1892. 4 new census has
passed eight months before the Pre-
sidential election, AND tie election
must be in accordance with it. In
November most of the States choose new
Congressman, and no one disputes that they
are to be elected under the new appor-
tiOnment. 1t would be singular indeed, if,
on that day, in November, 1872, we should
vote for Congressman under the appor-
tionment of 1870, and for Presidential
Electors under that of 1850, both the new
/ Congress and President to take their seats
on the 4th day Of March, 1873. Thissuis
/ the views of the East a..d old Atlantic States
that have declined in representation, but
not tie growing West, and the South which
have relatively increased on account of the
neg oeS, now for the first time having a full
presentation, instead of five TO three as
here fore,

WHO TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT ITs

Aye, there is the rub. The Commercial
gives an answer which some may consider
to be of the Pickwickian order, but which
Gen. Grant viii take TO be home thrust.
1t will be recOllected that when Gen. Hill
yer was before the Custom-house Investi-
eating Committee, he testified among other
things, that Gen. Grant told him he never
knew of Col. Leet's connection with the
general order business untilthe matter leak
ed out in the Patterson investigation, a year
ago. Leet on the other hand testified that
Grant first offered him the Collectorship of
the First Internal Revenue District
of Louisiana, and he declining it,
on the ground that he wanted to go to
New York to get the general order business,
the President sat down at his desk and gave
him a letter of introduction to Mr.. Grin
nell. This letter to Grinnell was dated
March 10, 1869, fifteen days after Grants
Inauguration. Since that time the Presi-
dent has been no stranger to New York.
He has repeatedly visited the city, and spent
months within an hours ride of the general
order warehouse. 1t is incredible that he
should have been ignorant of Leet's con-
nection with the business. Is it any won
der that Senator Pratt, in view of what the
President had said to HiIlyer, should have
made an effort to have this part of Leet's
testimony stricken out? As it stands, it
looks as though somebody had told what
Washington could not tell about the cutting
down of his fathers favorite cherry tree.
