lit is q prime object OF Senator

If it is prime object of Senator
Conkling to get INTO personal colli-
SionS With his brother Senators then
he has much reason to congratulate
himself on his decided success. He
has had spats, within a comparative
ly short time, with Senators Gordon,
Burnside and Lamar, in all of which
he came out second best. Each one
of these Senators have applied to the
''proud and lordly Conkling" that
most insulting Of all epithets, liar,
and the naughty Senator seems to be
willing to choke it all down, bitter
rs the dose may be. Gordon and
Lamar are Democrats, while Gen.
Burnside is a Republican, showing
that Conkling is just as capable Of
quarreling with a political friend n S
with a political enemy.
We do not contend that Senator
COnkling should challenge any or all
of these men to mortal combat, for
that is n poor way TO redress a per-
Sonal insult, but somebody who has
influence with him should let him
know that unless he mends his man.
ners he might get his precious back
cowhided one of these fine days.

The census of 1880 will show that
we are by far the most numerous
people speaking one language on the
face of the glCbe. The population
of the United States will then be
probably more than fifty millions,
and good authorities estimate that
at the end of the century there viii
be nearly one hundred millions with
in the present limits of the Union.
The taking of the centennial census
will be begun about the first of June,
1880, and an effort will be made to
complete it within a month. 1t will
show the centre of population to be
near Indianapolis, in the state of In
diana. In 1850 this centre was on
the meridian of Washington. 1t had
got as far west as PiUtsburg in 1910,
and at the last enumeration was at
Cincinnati. BY 1900 it will probab-
ly reach the Mississippi river.

CITY HiLL OPINION.
The Aldermen Discussing Fitz-John Porter
Gen. Pope, and Jefferson Davis.

The City Fathers consumed two and half
hours yesterday in the discussion Of resolutions
to give a public reception to Gen. Fitz-John
Porter in the Governors room. The resolu-
lions reproduce resolutions that passed the
Common Council in 1868. and were vetoed 10y
Mayor Opdykc. in which tho dismissal Of Con.
Porter from the army was characterized as a
part OF a system OF persecution OF the conserya-
tive element in tho army.
erthe resolutions had been read. Alderman
Michael W. Burns. who commanded n regiment

lion sprang To- his feet FitZ-John Porter was

dered against him"
The next speaker was Alderman Matt Stow

the Union Army. lle said: " Con. Porter was
convicted by jury Of his peers He was an un-
| faithful officer and might be- 50 again. Presi-

window men, and challengers they sell out
whenever the Republicans think it worth
while TO buy them. They often appear az
delegates at state Conventions, with Gre
dentials and without them, having received
not a single vote az the primaries; and they
invariably vote for the candidates favored
by tho managers Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. upon whose free passes they uniformly
travel to and from the scene Of their patriotic
labors. In fragrant violation Of the organic
law of the state.
The Pilgrims, or men 90 near akin to the
Pilgrims that II would be difficult to tell the
one from the other, have taken possession
OF the regular organization Of the Demo-
cratic party in Philadelphia, and the Democ-
racy of tho city have before them problem
similar to that presented to the Democracy
OF New York, when it became necessary To
dislodgc old Tammany, or sink under the
odium OF its corrupt management. There
has accordingly been formed under the
leadership OF ex-Mayor NAUx, DALLAS BAN
DERs, and other reputable gentlemen, n now
County Committee. which Is supposed to
represent tho party fully and fairly, and
which declares war Of determination against
the old machine organization. In recent
address this committee declares that the old
organization. as represented in state Con-
vcntions has SO tainted the proceedings Of
those bodies. that 60 defeat the tickets ot
the polls was tho only remedy left to honest
members of the patty; that the Pilgrims had
| often no other business in conventions but
to make nominations "prcdcstined to de-
feat" and that with their aid and assistance
the agents and attorneys of rings and cor
porations frequently control the councils Of
the Democracy 50 as to secure the election Of
the Republican candidates. At this distance
it Is Of course difficult TO understand per-
fcctly the merits OF the conflict, but on the
" face OF the papers the new County Com
mittee Is engaged in a cause that ought 10
be dear to every decent man. and, until

Apportionment Wrath.

A protest so vehement that IL almost
reaches profano pitch, rises from some OF
tho rural Republican counties because tho
Apportionmcnt bill takes from them few
members OF Assembly 10 satisfy the require
ments Of tho Constitution and the last
census The cutlery seems not to be against
tho Democrats FOR getting n little Of what
belongs to thcm. But the Republicans
charge each other with unfair dealing, and
even with cheating at the last moment, In
the mode OF dividing among themselves the
losses TO the country districts that must at
tend the passage Of any Apportionment bill
For example. in the Conference Committee
II WAS at one time settled that the growing
county Of Monroe. which contains the city
of Rochester. should have four members in
stead Of three, the same number ii has had
for tho last fifty-six years. But st. Law
renee. which always goes Republican, pro-
tested against giving up one OF its three
members TO Monroe, which occasionally
sends Democrat TO Albany; and this argu-
ment prevailed against the fact that while
Monroe has q population Of l3l, 1884, st.
Lawrence has only si,052.
Then, too Broome and its nourishng town
Of Binghamton are in rage at being
gougcd out OF member" as Republican
organ Expresses II, for the benefit OF Wayne.
The present population Of Wayne Is 1900,
and that OF Broorne. 1900. Moreover,
Wayne has scarcely grown At all In thirty
five years, while Broome has more than
doubled. And Wayne gets two members.
and Broome only one.
Mr.. BEcKwITH, n Republican member
from Monroe, hit the mark in his last shot
at the bill when he told his fellow Republ-
can conspirators that they had regarded II
as all right so long as they stole from the
Democratic counties Of New York and
Kings, but now that they had come 10 deal
ing with themselves, he thought they ought
to act up to the principle Of honor among
| thieves!

II was n singular explanation which Mr..

the bill prohibiting walking and running

the views of the Judiciary Committee ON the
subject
Well, now. that is really novel idea for n
legislator, to propose an Objectionable meas
ure, Just Ia see what tho Committee on the
Judiciary will say 10 it!

the intent Of the bill, and with n little prun-
ing think 1t will become a law, says Mr..
LANGBEIN.
1t is very poor argument in favor 81 leg
islation that the public sentiment Of the
hour cxaspcratcd and misguided by a re.
cent occurrence, would approve an incon-
sidcrate act.
So, too, it is not much to say Of the meas

The Philadelphia Democracy.

When Mr.. WALLACE succeeded to the
Craftsmanship of the TELLER Committee he
proceeded forthwith 20 the ground which he
knew best and set his plough deep. 1t can
not be said that he has cut more than he
could turn over. His burrows were wide,
but he lifted up the subsoil to the unaccus-
toned sunlight with an ease and grace that
must have been very alarming to his Re
publican colleagues. His first witness was
United States Marshal KERNs himself
From him alone Mr.. WALLACE got enough
To damn utterly the whole system Of Fed
eral supervision Of elections. KERNs testi-
fed that he had employed nearly eight
hundred deputies to manage the late cleo
tion, at S. a day; that they prevented no
frauds and were Of no manner Of use To the
public. The election, he said, would have
been Just as fair and honest II there had not
been a single deputy marshal IN the city;
and we are to infer that about the only
unfairness and dishonesty there was was
the presence OF this enormous oYerawing
and intimidating official force in the service
OF the Republican party Mr.. KERNs said
that all the city departments and the police
force were Republican, and We're used skill
fully and rcmorselessly on that side in every
contest. This Is not pleasant picture, and
as we look at 1t we do not wonder at the
declaration 80 frequently made that the
Republicans ara always ready and able to
give fraudulent majoritlos big enough To
hold not only Philadelphia, but Ponnsylva-
