Three Republican Asscmblymcn.

II Is supposed that Mr.. ALvOBD will bring
up his Apportionmcnt bill Mt an early day.
Though this is not n party question, there
is possibility that some short-sightcd Re-
publicans may he tempted to look at it In
that light. We therefore address n few
words of caution and admontion to certain
Republican Asscmblymcn whose voices and
votes can settle the matter in II just and
proper way.
In the recent debate on the Excise bill Mr.
Aston waxcd warm, and told the House that
the subjects Of no European Government
would peaccably submit to such outragcs as
were then being perpctratcd in this city,
under color OF an enforcement of the liquor
laws. We need not remind Mr.. Aston that
our Revolutionary fathers threw of the yoke
OF England because she levied taxes upon
them without allowing them the representa-
ton they were entitled to In the legislative
body that imposed the taxes. This is pre-
cisely the condition Of this city In regard to
its present representation in the Assembly;
and the ALvoRD bill would perpetuate this
wrong through the next ten years.
viii not Mr.. Aston expose and dcnounce
this contemplated outrage when the ALvoRD
bill comes up for discussion?
In speech the other day on the canals.
Dr. HAYES told the Assembly that the
future prosperity and perhaps the very cx-
istcnce of this city depended upon opening
the canals to free navigation. The heart of
the Arctic explorer was touched with emo
ton as he depicted the outragcs inflicted on
the city by grasping rivals. When he lifted
up his voice and bcwailcd the approaching
doom of the great metropolis, and begged
the Legislature to consider its rights and
redress its wrongs, his appeals might have
drawn tears from "A polar bear or even
melted Old Salt himself
We take it for granted. therefore, that DR.
HAYES will not aid in passing Il law that
will swinde New York city out OF three
or four Asscmblymon for the coming ten
years
Mr.. HAMILTON FISH, Jr., is Chairman Of

Undoubtedly the one thing that nominated
Mr.. HAYES for President was his sOundncss
on the financial question. That was what
turned tine scale in his favor. In truth,
very little else was known about him. An
Inference. which subsequent experience has
proved to Toe wholly erroneous, was drawn
from this fact 1t Was concluded that IA man
mailing from Ohio who was sound ON the
finances must hc u person of rare intclli-
gcncc and marked Independence OF charac-
ter. He WAS regarded somewhat in the
same light ar ia former times IL Mississippi
statesman who was not Il repudationist
would have been.
What n mistake, HAYES now appears
simply to have Numbered ON Ia the right
sid" Of the financial question, without any
comprehensive on thorough understanding
of the subject; while in Office as President
h" has been as utterly incapable Of iniiucnc-
ing the of Congress rs If he had been

The press is calling attention to the fact
that never before IN the history Of the
couutry was "a veto message Of any Prcsi-
dent treated with the disrespcct shown to
that Of Mr.. HAYES. The reason Is that
never before was there u man in the office
