larure ought not 10 have been so great in the
election Of last year, because it was the next
year after a State census. But the Legisla-
ture of 1876 failed to make the new appor-
tionment which the constitution commands
at the first session following State census.
and the consequence was that the democrats
were cheated out of the Legislature although
fairly entitled to it.
The dnty of Reproducing the State,
which was neglected by the last Legisla-
ture, has been postponed by this until the
closing days of the session, and bill was
passed yesterday by the Assembly which is
SO brazenly dishonest that even republi-
cans who have any sense Of decency ought
to denounce il. 1t is what is called the
Hogeboom bill. and was carried through
the Assembly yesterday by the unscrnpu-
lous parliamentary tactics Of Mr. Alvord,
the republican leader in that body. A
tolerably fair apportionment bill, OF which
Mr.. Woodin is the author, had already
passed the Senate, and it seems probable
now that o disagreement between the
two houses will prevent the passage of
any bill at this session. In a narrow par
tisan view nothing could serve the interests
OF the republican party better, because q
further postponement Of action on the
census Of 1875 would deprive the democrats
of any increase Of representation in the next
Legislature; whereas Senator Woodin's bill,
and even the Hogeboom-Alv bill, would
give them some gains. The infamous Hoge-
boom bill was not passed by the Assembly
with any expectation that it can become o
law--for If accepted by the Senate the Gov
ernor would certainly veto it--but with q
simple view to put off the reapportionment
for another year in defiance OF the constitu-
ton, with the hope Of another unfair
republican majority in the next Legis-
lature. This manauyre is as bad in
tactics as it is disgraceful in morals.
If the dishonest Hogeboom bill passes
or the apportionment fails Governor Robin
son will call an extra session. True,
it will be o session Of the same parti-
san Legislature which has SO grossly abused
its trust, but it will enable the Governor to
make an appeal to the moral sense Of the
people which will deprive the republican
party of more strength than it can expect to
gain by its unscrupulous violation Of plain
constitutional duty. The fact that New
York and Brooklyn are democratic cities is
no reason why they should be deprived OF
their constitutional representation in the
Legislature.

they conse in its way-particularly as it
happens TO know they are going in another
direction. The statement We give to-day
OF England's resources, and of her COM
parative incapacity to take any effective
part in the war against Russia exhibits fully
that this policy is enforced by the facts Of
her position. Any declaration made by
England Of u purpose to interfere with the
operations of Russian armies would be idle
and even laughable. With wars conducted
on such scale as is now seen on the Danube
and in Armenia the twenty-five or thirty
thousand soldiers that England can
send from home would be a mere
drop in the bucket, and she can
not move her armies from India for
the simple reason that her tenure of that
country is such that it will cease to be hers
If she does not continue to hold it with all
the force she has in it. She has feet, and
Russia will not put herself in q way to come
in collision with it just at present /; so that
England. perhaps, will be able to play to
the end the safe role of bullying everybody
and not firing a shot, and gathering up care
fully, when peace is made. such crumbs OF
plunder as are within her reach.

The Mormons once More.

Our Salt Lake correspondent sends us
some curious documents, signed by Brig
ham Young. showing his defiant spirit
toward the United States, and also the very
great powers he possessed in former days
The letter in which he notifies John d. Lee,
in 1853, that the President has condoned
the offences Of the Mormons, exhibits the
spirit of the leaders at Salt Lake in those
days:-s'He pardons You because he can't
kill you without it's costing him too much, =
writes Brigham; ''but he calculates TO spit
on his hands and begin again. We must
save orr provisions and get ready When
General Sidney Johnstons army approached
Utah Young declared martial law and forbade
the passage Of any person through the Ter
ritory without a passport FROM Mormon
authorities, and specimens OF these passes
are sent by our correspondent. The un-
fortunate Arkansas emigrants, to quote the
words of John d. Lee after his condemna-
ton, had not the right sort OF pass.
Link after link Of the chain Of evidence
which will criminate the leading Mormons
seems to be riveting. Evidence already in
the District Attorneys hands fixes guilt on
Colonel Dame and Haight. But it seems
that Mrs. Haight processes to have paper
in her possession with which she ex-
poets to shield her husband. Colonel
Dame has also expressed himself con-
fident of being able to show by whose
authority lac ordered the massacre. That
is to say, Lees execution has shown other
Mormons that Brigham Young and the
prophets may in the end try to sacrifice
them, and they do not mean to die as Lee
did On the whole the Mormon business
never was SO interesting as now. Mean
time the correspondents Of other journals
begin slowly, but completely, to confirm
the reports of our own correspondent. III
Brigham Young were to be put on trial, say
for murder, either as principal or accessory,
be convicted and sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary for a long term, or to execution, there
would be great danger, think, OF an out
break only in view of such contingency
is there any need of additional troops in

The anniversary OF American indepen-
dence is always day of peril to our large
cities, and is looked forward to with unea-
siness by the insurance companies, which
will have to make up the losses occasioned
by an indiscriminate scattering Of burning
combustibles in all our streets and avenues.
The danger is multiplied by the growing
custom Of entertaining the children of sep
arate households by evening displays of pri-
yate fireworks. This custom ought to be
dispensed with, except in the country,
where there is ample space for setting off
these explosives and combustibles in the
grounds and lawns at safe distance
from buildings. 1t might seem harsh
and ungracious for the city authorities to
forbid it; but they ought not to wait until a
terrible confagration, kindled by this dam
gerous practice, enforces the necessity. Fire
is the great enemy OF property in large
towns, and no regulations can be too strict
for guarding against losses from this source
If the two or three weeks preceding the
Fourth Of July should happen to be a season
of drought, converting the dry woodwork
of structures into finder, thirty OF forty
thousand separate sources of ignition flying
through the air and liable to strike window
frames or light upon roofs, would be cause
OF more peril than the celebration is worth.
We are not so churlish as to advise q sup
preston of fireworks on the Fourth of July,
but we would not leave it to the discretion
of every careless individual in city of
million inhabitants to do things which
might set dwellings and even whole blocks
in a blaze. If private fireworks were dis
smaller district would subscribe the sums
they spend for such purposes to fund for
display in their own neighborhoods, the
children might be entertained with q much
finer spectacle without going far from
their own doorsteps, and without being
iostled and iammed in the disor-
DERBY crowds which attend the great pyro-
technic exhibitions given at the expense of
the city in the public squares II is very
proper that the young people should be
amused, and no discreet parent wishes to
take them into noisy crowd where they
can see nothing unless lifted up on the
shoulders of grown persons, and are exposed
to listen to great deal of rude language.
But the plan we recommend would exempt
them from this inconvenience and yet give
them a far more brilliant spectacle than is
afforded by the ordinary private fireworks.
The combustibles conld be put in charge of
discreet and careful men, who would man.
age them with perfect safety to property.

A simple inspection of the election figures
makes it evident that the democrats of this
State are not fairly represented in the Legis-
laturc. Governor Robinson was chosen last
November by majority OF more than thirty
thousand, and yet the Legislature chosen in
the same election by the same voters con-
sists OF nineteen republicans against thir-
teen democrats in the Senate, and seventy
republicans against Htty-eight democrats in
the Assembly With perfectly fair APP
portionment the political party which
elected the Governor by handsome
majority would also elect majority
OF the Legislature. 1t must be adj
mitted, however. that even with fair
apportionment this could not take place in
every election, because the State is reappor-
toned in accordance with population only
ut intervals of ten years, and within so long
a period great changes take place in Com
monwealth where the growth Of cities is so
rapid and the population Of the rural dis
tricts remains nearly stationary. But this
discrepancy between party strength on the
State ticket and party strength in the Legis-

War News.

The dearh of stirring news from the
seats of war in the East suggests the calm
before the storm that must soon break in
thunderous uproar from many points along
the Danube Valley as well as in Asia Minor.
The secrecy with which the Russian move
ments are surrounded gives little chance
to speculate with any approach to accuracy.
Great movements are so often made only
us a mask for greater that the massing
OF large bodies of troops in Western Rou-
mania must not be regarded as reliable
indication that the grand advance is to
take place from that region. 1t is certain,
however, that the coming week will witness
great events and will supply important
material for history. The Turkish feet
continues its incendiary industry along the
eastern shores of the Black Sea, and also
menaces the south coast of Russia. But we
notice that Russian threat to the Bey of
Tunis, which may be executed by the
Cars feet, is agitating the Sultan's vassal
in Africa. The departure of the Sultan to
take the command of the Army Of the
Danube in prosecuting the holy war
has been decided on. In Asia Minor
Batoum has been invested by the Russians,
and, according to our latest dispatches, q
sanguinary battle is in progress for the pos
session OF the town. The Cossacks scour
the country on Mouhktar Pacha's right,
completely eating him off from any sup
ports from the south, and everything points

TnE CHESTER HOMEOPATHIC evidence elected
at the inquest on the bodies of the men killed at
the launching of the steamship Saratoga at
Chester fails to clear up the question as to
whether or not sufficient warning was given to
the men to enable them to escape. On this
point the evidence is very contradictory, some
alleging that fifteen minutes elapsed from the
time the word was given to get from under to
the slipping of the ship into the water. Others
state that minute and u half at
most elapsed between the order to cut away
the stays and the moving Of the ship of the
stocks. The truth of the matter seems to be
that the men who should have watched the first
movement OF the ship performed their task care
lessly, and that when it was discovered that the
ship had moved it was too late to 10 more than
was done. Any hesitation about cutting the
stays might have led to still greater loss of life

Hence it was unsafe to be tempted, even for
that might have to be swallowed before mid
summer But the probability that Russia
will make any naval demonstrations in the
Mediterranean is. SO slight that there
can be few things safer than for Eng
land to commit herself to a declar-
alton based on that remote probability
Consequently the declaration well nigh
positive that England will defend the Suez
Canal and Egypt and the Dardanelles-will
defend. in fact, what it does not yet appear
that any one is likely to menace Indeed,
Russia is so little prepared to make any
demonstration with regard to Egypt that
the story which represents her MS disposed
to make q convention with England in re-
gard to that country is very probably true.
This report is practically to the effect that
England is to buy Egypt from the Sultan
with the consent Of Russia. the price to be
capitalization of the Egyptian tribute. II
England should thus become the suzerain
OF Egypt she would do more to dism ember
the Ottoman Empire than has been done by
all others together for, with Egypt taken,
the other Meditcrran can dependencies would
fall away OF themselves and the Padishah
would thus lose twenty millions out of his
forty millions of subjects. This is no doubt
the easiest way in which England can take
care of her interests in the Suez Canal and
in Egypt, for she is able to pay though she
cannot fight; but before this bargain is
completed some other governments in
Europe will want practical guarantees for
the neutrality of the canal.
England's policy, therefore, as disclosed
by the statement in the House OF Commons,
is that of weakness-the policy of Power
which feels that ii has not the strength to
enforce it's will, but is painfully solicitous
lest this helplessness shall be noticed by
others, and therefore boisterously declares
how terribly it will deal with its enemies IL
