NINGHAM) whose vote defeated the re-
moval OF the Capital, and it takes his scalp
accordingly. The Register calls attention
to the fact that the vote Of the Senate re-
fusing to order the previous question on
the Capital bill is reported to have been 2
to II, and that Senator CUNNINGHAM's
vote would not have ordered the main
question il it had been in the affirmative.
II that be true, the Senator's vote alone
did not defeat the bill; but that does not
excuse him for voting against putting it
to vote when its friends were trying to
do that as the only possible chance of pass
iug it,
ltsGems that MIR. BLAKEMoRE also play
cd double game on that question. Be-
fore the recess he is reported 10 have said

The Register, at not very remote Pc

about the justice and expediency Of "mi'
nority representation" Some very able
essays on this subject appeared in its col.
umns when It was advocating the call for
the Constitutional Convention. Now, so
Tar as we are acquainted with the status
orthe gentlemen named in the foregoing
lists, we do not recognize in either sin
gle Republican or Jacob Democrat. They
are made up solid, it appears, from the
faction which has creature in the So
called "Board of PubIci Works" We
mention this simply to ask our neighbor
what he thinks Of minority representation
as excmplified in these appointments.
When Gov. Jacob appoints directors
for these institutions, We venture to pre-
dict he will not treat his opponents with
such offensive injustice rs this.
