Mr. JOHNSON What is the use of so much
twaddle in the Republican papers about giving
New Castle County representation according 70
population; accordingly, New Castle County to
have as many representatives as both Kent and
Sussex, and Wilmington have the power TO elect
the whole of them, Can these writers be IN earn
est or they run mad, or wish to depart
from all legislative precedents with regard to the
representation OF large bodies of people concentra-
ted in q small space in a county OF city. Do not
these men know these concentrated voters could
combine and influence legislation and turn it all in
favor of their own county and city and make it
selfish and local. These advocates for such repre-
sentatiou need not be surprised that the other
counties or this county would not be willing to
| trust Wilmington with such power Witness
when it was taxed only i'll proportion to its wealth
! its business, and its money producing power how
it sauirmed and held meetings aud tried to infu-
ence legislation. Witness the efforts of broken
money lenders and bondholders to have the tax
taken off of this representation of property. Wit
ness the combination of loan or what is called
building Associations, their officers and members
| to exclude their property from taxation. The un-
reasunabeness of these things ought 10 be apparent
| to every unbiased mind at once. Because Will
mington is favorably situated at one part of our
State, surrounded by the best land, and having
the best facilities or manufacturing interest, and
trade, and inviting population, is no reason they
should have pTeponderance in Legislation. The
writer has lived in Wilmington and he does moi
believe that 1t IS remarkable for its intelligence
goodnes or regard for other parts Of the State
Such selfishnOss ought to be Tebuked and all par
tal legislation withstood In this day of Revolu'
ton, city corruptness. bought legislations anC
tendency to sweep away all prudent safeguards Il

least TO tamper with it slightly.

The Feeling In Paris.

PARIS, Jan. 10.--Marshal McNIahon reports to
the President that the army is not affected by the
death of Napoleon. There are Bonapartists
among the officers, but no party which supports
the NHpOleOhic dynasty in the army.
Legitimst, clerical, and Oreanist journals do
Justice to Napoleon's good qualities and concur
in the opinion that the system he inherited was
responsible for most of the evils of his govern
ment. LUniUers appeals to the Orleans princes
to acknowledge Count de Chambord as the legit
mate heir to the throne of France, and thus rally
around centre monarchical force strengthened
