THE GOVERNORS SCHEME OF EQUAL REP.
RESENTATlON.

Governor Cochran is supposed to have recon-
mended to his Democratic followers plan grant
ing equal representation to this county. Sup
pose we examine this matter, and see what his
recommendations amount to-.
In tho first place, he does not recommend
equal representation in the Senate. Any in
fined to the House. Hereafter, as heretofore,
five thousand people may choose Senator, in
Kent and Sussex, but ten thousand people are
necessary to do 80, in New Castle
In the second place he does not urge repre-.
sanitation according to population, even in the
House, He gently suggests :" u fair and reasona.
BILE increase" only. What would be "fair would
be equality, and why not say So? As for what
may be REASONABLE" who shall decide? DIFF
ferent judges would have different notions on
that. Whist we especially point out is the m
pie fact that the Governor proposes not equal
lied representation, but simply an increase"
for this county. That may mean one more
member.
Especial pains is taken to urge that the peo-
pie Of Wilmington should not have equal voice
in the Legislature with other citizens and tax
payers OF the State. They are All 'urban pop
ulation." Between urban and suburban, there
is a great gulf Well, as Artemus Ward said
let that pass. 1t is restriction number three.
1t therefore appears that the Governor does
not propose to give the people of Northern Del
aware All increased voice, even much less an
equal voice. In the Senate he does not propose
to give them an equal voice in the House and
he expressly prescribes that no equality be Civ
en- the citizens OF Wilmington.
What wonderful scheme of equal represent
tation
And how does the Governor propose to get
this infnitesimal REFORM Not by an act of the
General Assembly, which is the easy, quick, aud
Constitutional method, but by that most diff
cult and almost impossible process, the amend
ment of the Constitution by two successive Leg
islatures.
1t may justly aud truly be said that this prop
osition throws the whole scheme into diseredit
and almost brings iuto doubt the sincerity of the
Governors desire to accomplish even the small
measure Of reform which he has been willing
to suggest. For such a Constitutional amend
ment cannot have effect until the elections of
1878, ut the earliest. nor would the relief be rea-
lized to the people, until the Legislature met.
IN 1879. THIS is supposing that two Legisla-
lures, this one unanimously Democratic zone
member excepted and the next surely Demo-
cratic in the Senate, (six Senators of that party
holding over,) will be willing to concede the re-
form-a supposition which few are robus,
enough to accept The amendment will require
at this session, in order to be approved,six votes
IN the Senate, and fourteen in the House, and
At il.n.. &.

"The grand Jury Of the United States Circuit
Court recently in session In this city adjourned
without finding bills Of Indictment against tho

Wei, the truth was that only seven men on the
Jury were decided Republicans and only two
J others were inclined that way. Fourteen out Of
= the twenty-thres jurymen were Democrats.
Upon this head was the agents lie direct.
!. Tie lie by implication was that no bills Of "

in their report thus declared:

Ihere passed through Washington a few
days ago the remains Of Mr.. P. B. Gilbert, a
prominent merchant and member OF the Mason
&c fraternity Of New York city, accompanied BY
his wife and daughter, aud under Masonic Tenn
par escort from Richmond MI Gilbert died IN
that city on Monday night, under the following
circumstances He was travelling through
North Carolina by rail, being then in full health
and fell asleep in one OF the seats of the car
he was awakened by chilly sensation, and
found two windows open, one on each side of
him, and the bitter cold night air streaming in
upon him. By the side of one Of the open win
dows was seated young woman who had ap-
psrently been moving from one window to the
other. Mr.. Gilbert never recovered from his
chill He took to his bed in Richmond. and
died before his wife and daughter could reach
his bedside.

The system of sezing workingman's ypees
on attachment for debt, was always denounced
in the COMMERCIAL, and was always defcndei h,
the Democratic newspapers. Two years AGO
the Democratic Legislature, notwithstanding
the petitions of hundreds of our workinpman
refused to repeal it, but gave it new form Inv
which its cost to the unfortunate debtor was
doubled. But the pressure brought has forced
the Democratic managers to give up. at las,
They fear the workingmen's vote. Governor
Ponder saw that something must be dore
Governor Cochran saw the same. Both proposed
to give up the attachment of wages. And AZ
this tardy act Of justice comes--or will . ,ne
preser tly-extorted from the Democratic Isoiu'
lature, because they are afraid of the vorkir,
mems influence. It's n good thing for all the
people to have votes-though Senator Eaysra
says they oughtn't to have.

The White Leaguers in New Orleans are pur-
suing the wrong course towards General Sheri-
dan to make him odious in the eyes OF the Amer
lean people. Did they but know it, the scorn
and eontumely which they heap upon him only
endesrs him to the loyal, patriotic heart of the
nation, and it will go out to him in stronger cur
rents Of sympathy the more uncomfortable they
make the situation for him. No officer
whose gsllantry upon the field of battle
and whose devotion to country has been 80 clear
ly proven will cease to be kindly remembered
because of one act of indiscretion, and no amount
OF bitter, unrelenting hate such as the popula-
ton OF New Orleans is capable of, will win to its
favor the sober, thinking and less impulsve peo-
pie OF The country. 1t is the knowledge of this
fact, perhaps, which renders General Sheridan
20 unconscious OF the insults and indignites to
which he is daily subjected.
