The Apportton ment Bill.

Mr.. Alvord reported yesterday in the
Assembly new apportionment bill, the
details of which may be found in our Albany
twenty-three members Of Assembly instead
of its present twenty-one, aud Kings county
twelve instead of its present nine. This is
less than these two great democratic counties
think they may justly claim; but they have
no reason to expect justice from Mr.. Alvord
and his coadjutors. These gentlemen would
prefer to have their bill fail, if they can
plausibly throw the blame on the Governor.
Their only study is to give the democratic
counties as little as they can without such
fragrant and outrageous unfairness rs would
react against them in the next election.
They would rather have this bill, or any
possible bill. vetoed by the Governor than
signed by him, provided it did not give him
IN opportunity to make too much party
capital by the statement Of his objections.
No bill is better for the republicans than
any bill which even Mr.. Alvord would have
the face to propose, and it may be thought
q skilful man9uvre to pass one which is
just unfair enough to provoke a veto, and
yet not SO fagrantly unfair as to render
its exposure in the veto very dam
aging in the elections. The tempta-
tion to juggle and gerrymander happens to
be this year very strong. The next Legis-
lature is to choose Senator Of the United
States, and if the republicans can elect
majority of the next Assembly they will
carry off that great prize. The success of
any apportionment bill would impair their
chances, since it would certainly increase
the number of democratic Assemblymen.
1t will be for Governor Robinson to decide,
if Mr.. Alvord's bill passes both houses,
whether it is not better for the democratic
party to take what it can get rather than go
into this years election on the old Appor-
tionment act based on the census of 1865.

The south Carolina Infamy.

1t is not at all surprising that the ex-
traordinary and self-condemning statement
of Ex-Governor Moses, Of South Carolina,
should result in further publications on the
points treated. Ex-Governor Chamberlain,
indeed, from doubtless a very intimate
knowledge Of the man, declares anything
Moses says or can say as "beneath notice -
but Major Lewis Merrill, the United States
army officer whom Moses SO bitterly, and
we believe unjustly. denounces and accuses,
makes very pronounced reply in his letter
to the HERALD, published elsewhere. Major
Merrill's indignation is quite pardonable.
We must say, however, that we do not agree
with him in what he says about the injus-
tice of putting him con trial in the news
papers," as he expresses it. Although
hoping and believing that there is no foun-
dation for the dishonoring charges, yet adj
vanced as they are by the Ex-Governor of
State (even though man, on his own
confession, recreant to his trust), who al
leges that the charges can be backed up by
proofs held by the authorities, we do not
feel altogether at liberty to suppress them.
This is more emphatically the case when
the accused is o United States army officer.
II Major Merrill is innocent as we trust he
is, his reputation cannot suffer, but Moses
will appear before his country in still
more shameful light: il upon full in.

Pcacs In Cuba.

Dispatches from Havana this morning an
nounce the surrender Of the insurgents in
the neighborhood of the Trocha, and also
OF those in the Central Department of the
island. There can be little doubt that
the wornout revolutionists have resolved to
accept the terms offered them, and that in q
very short time the supremacy of Spain
will be everywhere acknowledged. The
result does not, Of course, satisfy the ir-
reconcilable party, who object to any COM
promise which did not include absolute
independence; but as this party conducted,
for the most part, its operations from the
safe shelter of neutral territory, their
opinions will not have much weight with
those who had to stand the brunt Of the
contest in the field. II, as it is asserted,
Spain has resolved to give Cuba repre-
sentation in the Cortes and to concede other
important advantages, the long war will not
have been fought in vain, and it is by no
means certain that the future Of the island
will not be as bright as if the revolutionists
had succeeded in obtaining total separa-
non.

General Grant on the Nile.

Our correspondent, who accompanies ex-
President Grant on his Eastern tour,
graphically describes on another page, this
leading on the waters of the most famous
river of all history. The Khedive, it will
be seen, is a thoughtful host, and has given
our distinguished traveller steamer
specially adapted to the intricate and diff
cult navigation, also guides, interpreters
and professors learned in the mysterious
language of the monuments and ruins which
tell Of civilization that was old thousand
years before the dawn OF the Western Roman
Empire. According to our correspondent
the ex-President brings to his trip the
kecnest enjoyment. He has not forgotten his
old habits of military precision, and when
ever there is anything to be done he is i'm
patient until it is accomplished. When
ruin is to be explored he is the first on
deck in the morning and if the members
OF his party are not NIL ready at the ap-
pointed hour he is away, leaving them, as
in the campaigns Of the great war; to bring
up the rear. Home and friends, we are
told, are never quite out of his mind, and
the pauses Of travel through the lotus
land are filed with anecdotes Of his gen.
erals--how Sherman fought and Sheridan
charged and Mcpherson fell. Occasionally
the tangled skein of his administrations are
taken up and knotty points unravelled. The
absence OF news from home seems to be the
only draw back to his journey, and copy
OF this mornings HERALD would be more ac-
ceptable to him than half the monuments
of the Pharaohs. And yet how little he has
missed since he passed into the night ofthe
Nile! Only the never ending Louisiana
business and the dreary silver debate and
the old wrangle about civil service reform.
The news he sends to us is much more in
teresting than that we could send to him.
Even in this the star of his good fortune
follows him to the East.

place and no longer The cleaning of New
York must be done as purely business
operation and in such a thorough manner rs
to justify liberal expenditures. We want
the Mayor to treat the matter with the same
deliberation and method as if he was
about to build private house. He should
collect his material, contractors, laborers,
machinery and other requirements for the
work, and at the public cost perform it
steadily and efficiently. The politicians
may howl and the bureau builders may
groan, but by such simple plan the work
can be done, the people satisfied and New
York made clean.

A Postal Savings Bill.

We print in our Washington intelligence
the text of the Postal Savings bill prepared
by Mr.. Phillips, Of Kansas, and approved
Banking and Currency 1t is believed by
sanguine friends that this bill will pass the
House by nearly unanimous vote. 1t
makes every money order post Office deposit
tory for money in sums as small as twenty
five CENTS the depositor to receive passbook
like those given by savings banks. When
the deposits by one person amount to ten
dollars or any multiple of ten dollars he is
entitled to receive bond for that amount
to be entered in his passbook as debit to
Offset the same amount of credits. These
bonds are to range from ten dollars to one
hundred dollars in even multiples of ten
up to fifty. The rate Of interest is to be
65-100 per cent, that particular rate being
adopted for convenience of calculation,
since the interest on a one hundred dollar
bond will be exactly one cent per day.
These bonds are to be exchangeable at the
cent bonds of the government but in this
form the government is to take no
special superintendent Of them. But
the holders of the 3 65-100 bonds
and of passbooks in which sums are
entered can draw money from the Post
Office very much as deposltors do from saw
ings banks. or course the sums which are
merely entered in the passbooks will bear
no interest. A special form of legal tender
Treasury notes is to be issued tor redeeming
the new bonds at the money order post
offices.
This bill may be found on examination to
be susceptible of useful amendments; but
whether amended or unamended we ear
nestly hope it may become a law. If the sys-
tenn of postal savings is once adopted it will
be so popular and benefcent that it will
never be abandoned and all needful amend
necessity for them should become ap-
parent. If this bill becomes law it will
prove to be the wisest and most salutary
act which Congress has passed in long Pc
riod. It will encourage habits Of saving
everywhere and create them in large dis
trlcts Wnere savings panKS 40 not eXlst.
The absolute safety of the deposits will re-
lieve the laboring classes of all anxiety
respecting their money, and the perfect
sense Of security will cultivate more and
more the disposition to save. We hope no
captious objections may be made to this
useful bill, and that it may be allowed to
have fair trial. Such defects as may be
disclosed by experience will be easily reme-
died.
The New York herald., 1878-03-02

The OPINION is unanimous that ex-Surgeon
General Hammond was unjustly treated during
the war; that his removal from office was one of
those arbitrary acts in which that period of our
history was unfortunately only too fruitful.
Tardy justice has, however, been done him by
the Senate in restoring his name to the army
register and in removing the disqualification
from holding office under the government, which
was all that he asked in his request to reopen
his case. The House will undoubtedly confirm
the action of the other branch of Congress.

The WEATHER.-The movement of the high
preston now extending through the Mississippi
Valley was very rapid. Attention was called in
yesterdays HERALD to the rising pressure in the
north. During the forenoon the barometer rose
Ill over the regions east of the Mississippi, and
very high pressure developed over the St.
Lawrence Valley and the New England States
Toward night, however. this area moved east-
ward, and the depression then in the Missouri
Valley began to become an organized storm,
with very high winds and light rain on the
northwestern margin. A sub-area of low pres
Sure from the southwest united with that of the
porthcrn district, both forming the storm centre.
The conditions are high pressure on the coast,
with clear weather and low barometer in the in
terror, with general cloudiness and rains extend
Ing from Manitoba to the Gulf of Mexico Be
yond the depression in the Rocky Mountains
the barometer is rising and is high OH the Pacific
coast. The winds are chiefly from the southeast
and east to the Mississippi Valley, and are north
erly aud northwesterIy between that region and
tho Rocky Mountains. They are variable over
Northern New England and New Brunswick. The
temperature has fallen in the northern but is
higher in the southern sections. The weather in
New York and its vicinity to-day will be warm
and fair, followed by increasing cloudiness,
strong easterly winds and light rain. To-mor-
row it promises to be warm and cloudy, with
rain and strong easterly and vcering winds, dan
gerous to coasting vessels.

Tn. Di.guis. Of Jefferson Davis.


The friends of Mr. Jefferson Davis have
always denied the truth of the story that
when he was captured he wore certain por-
tions of Mrs. Davis attire which were un-
becoming to his manly beauty and fallen
greatness. It was at the time, in the words
of Southern journalists pronounced base
SANDER and o partisan falsehood, set afoat
for the purpose of bringing ridicule upon
the Confederate chieftain and the cause he
represented. Southern pride was cut to
the quick by the cartoons and pictures Of
the end of the rebellion representing its
civil head arrayed in an expansive crino-
line, an old-fashioned sun bonnet and q
well-worn waterproof cloak, with o water
pail in his hand instead of the trident Of
power. The picture, whether true or false,
was oomical one, and at the end Of the
long war, so full of sorrow and suffering
and tears, sent shout of hearty laughter
all through the. victorious North Mr..
Davis was silent on the subject; indeed,
he had other things to trouble him at the
time, and SO it passed into history. But at
last, at the end Of thirteen years, he rises
to contradict it and give his account of
this interesting episode in his life for the
paper, elsewhere printed, of his private
secretary at the time, Major Walthall, is
understood to have received the stamp of
his approval as the correct account of the
affair. In this document Mr.. Davis dis
cards the crinoline and the bonnet and the
pail and leaves only the cloak. Not only
that-the leader of the Confederacy be-
comes quite hero, and would have un-
horsed the Dragons who captured him and
escaped into Texas or somewhere else to
continue the struggle for liberty if it had
not been for the inopportune interference
of Mrs. Davis, whose womanly devotion
prevented her husband from carrying out
his bold and daring design. As historical
picture this is much more imposing than
the one that has been painted on our men,
cries, and since Mr.. Davis himself is the
author, is, of course, much more satisfac-
tory to him. But what is to become of the
other one2 Mr.. Davis can hardly steal it
away and hang his own in our national
gallery without, we suspect, q pretty lively
protest and controversy.
