There now seems some pros
pect that the dead lock which has
prevailed in the Legislature In
regard to the apportionment of
the State will be settled by the
means heretofore adopted in such
mergeDcies-cOmpIOmise
While of course it would be
much more agreeable to have it
all our own way it seems ra-
ther utopian to expect, the oppo.

matter, and with two branches in
the Legislature acting as a mutual
check it might sit till doomsday
without effecting anything beyond
the negative good Of the power
Ofa conservative House TO offset
the designs of a radical Senate.
The crying abrses under which
we grOam must be relieved. We
have swallowed the camel, and it
is a little ridiculous to exhibit
ourselves as straining at the
gnat. The whole design of the
Wheeler adjustment was to enable
our members, of the Legislature
to leaven with their efforts and
influence the body which controls
the State. We must not be under
stood as advocating an arrange
ment of this approtiodment at
any cost.
Better for orr members co
serve out their terms as checks to
nefarious designs than to consent
to any settlement which trenches
the rights of their constituents.
But if they are blind to all COLI
siderations OF the claims of others
which can be enforced, they must
not expect to escape Che condem
nation of those who once consent
ell by the adjustment to remove,
at the sacrifice of personal feeling,
the obstacles which barred from
the Legislative halls the advocates
of reform.
Various measures have been
and passed in the house
bid fair to relieve some of
our grievances, chief among
which is the Election Law. The
and notifications of this
Infamous measure designed by
the act the House seem to have
been carefully digested aud weigh.
Ell and strike at the root OF the
evil. We forbear further comments
Oh it rs various amendments
will probably be made if it be-
Il law. Other sorely needed

But Sam, who had broken the ice by

a thousand nameless attentions; and before
