THE BALTIMORE TUNNEL-FIsT TRIP
Through THE NEW IMPRovEMENT.-
Yesterday the last rail of the track in the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad tunnel
was laid, thus completing the through
connection with the tracks Of the Northern
Central railway. The first locomotive ran
through the tunnal yesterday afternoon
from Lafayette station to the Northern
Central track and back again. The last
spike was driven at 6 O'Clock p. m. The
tunnel will be open for regular travel on
the evening of the Goth, after which the
through trains for New York will begin
leaving Washington Monday morning,
emerging from the tunnel at Boundary
avenue bridge, passing on over the North
ern Central railway to York, Wrightsville
and Columbia, Pa, and thence to Phila-
delphia and New York. The passenger
coaches and Pullman sleeping cars, intend
ed for the through travel, have just been
completed, and are finished in handsome
manner, all the latest improvements and
convenieuces having been introduced. The
locomotives to be used in drawing these
trains are of the largest size, the tenders
having a capacity Of 2, 400 gallons, which
quantity of water will suffice for run OF
113 miles. Work upon the Baltimore and
Potomac tunnel was begun June l, 1871,
and the length of the stucture is about one
and half miles.-Baltimore Sun Of Fri
day.

ONE FRANCIS DwYER of Albany, New
York, makes offidavit that for two years
past he has been a member of secret,
oath-bound association of Democrats, the
object of which is to control the organiza-
ton and nominations of the party. DwYER
says that majority of the members of the
Albany city Demacratic General Commit
tee are members Of the society, aud gives
the names Of large number: of persons
whom he has seen at the meetings. This
would be a good time for the Democratic
papers generally to denounce all secret
political societies, and especially to dwell
upon the alleged corruptions in Philadel-
phia, aud the blessings that must inevitably
attend the establishment, there, of such
pure government as the Democrats have
impaired to Albany.-Pi.tsburg CONNER

FoRNEY's Press Of Saturday last, gives
the following proceedings Of the Constitu-
tional Convention, on the subject of ap-
portionment and ratio of Representation.
Hon. JOHN N. PuRvIANcE, delegate
from Butler, presented the following pro-
position on the subject of superintendent
and representation. All other schemes are
based upon population this of Mr.. Purvi-
ance Is based upon taxable inhabitants,
according to the custom of the State for
seventy-fve years. The convention has
positively agreed TO fifty Senators and SUBJ
stantially TO one hundred and City mem-
bers of the Legislature. The suggestion
of Mr.. Purviance does not apply to the
cities, in the Senatorial representation.
Under it Philadelphia will get ten Senators,
and every county in the State, large or
small, one member, the balance to be ap-
portioned according to taxable inha bitants.
We print his proposition entire, because Of
the valuable table annexed. 1t will be seen
that the total number of members under
this schedule is one hundred and fifty-two
instead of one hundred and fifty.
In the year one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-four, and in every seventh
year thereafter, representatives to the num-
Der of one hundred and ffty-two shall be
apportioned and distributed equally
throughout the State by districts, in pro-
portion TO the number of taxable inhabi-
tants in several parts thereof, except that
each county shall be entitled to at least one
Representative in the House of Represen-
tatives, and that counties shall not be join
cd in order to form districts, and no county
shall be divided in the formation Of dis
trict Any city or county having an ex-
cess of three-ffth of the ratio over one or
more ratios, shall be entitled to an addi-
tional member. Any city containing n
sufficient number of taxables to entitle it
to at least two Representatives shall be
divided in to convenient districts of conti-
gueus territory, of equal taxable population,
as near as may be, each of which districts
shall elect one Representative.
OF THE RATIO OF REPRESENTATIVES IN
THE SENATE.
The number of Senators shall be fifty,
and apportioned among the districts formed
as hereinafter directed, according TO the
number of taxable inhabitants in each.
OF DISTRICTS FOR ELECTINe SENATORS.
The Senator's shall be chosen in districts
to be formed by the Legislature but no
district shall be so formed rs to entitle it to
elect more than two Senators /; and no city
or county shall be entitled to elect more
than ten Senators when a district shall
be composed of two or moro counties they
shall be adjoining, and no county shall be
divided in forming district. The city OF
Philadelphia shall be divided into single
Senatorial districts Of contiguous territory,
as nearly equal in taxable population as
possible but no ward shall be divided in
the formation thereof.
Number of taxable Inhabitants in the
several counties of the State in the year
1870 was 800, ,212. This includes the cities.
This number divided by $50 fixes the
ratio of representation Mt 5,734, and gives
to the counties as follows

An alligator is rather smart about some
things. He knows as much about strategy
as Major General of militia. He will
poise himself on log, open his mouth
wide by elevating his upper jaw, and re-
main perfectly quiet. In short time his
mouth will fill with musketoes and flies,
when down will come his jaw, taking every
them, licks his chop, and elevates his jaw
to catch another floor full. This dish is
regarded by the alligator as the most de.
licious that the country affords.
