We have only contended that tho bondholders

To the people In convention assembled to seek

upon that we are fully prepared to meet the

that the bondholders get oil they have In

After wrangllng for four years the confer
ence committees of the Legislature Of New
York have agreed upon a reapportionment
of the State. New York takes State census
every five years. The constitution provides
that the Legislature meeting next after 1t is
taken shall reapportion the Legislature on
the basis of this census. As such reappor-
tionment under the CENSUS Of 1876 would have
been beneficial to the Democrats, the Repnb-
llcan Legislature steadily refused to obey the
constitution and put off tho matter from yenr
to year for four years. AS the Federal gov
eminent will take census In 1880, the appor-
tIonment under the State census will be In
force only ono year. 1t is grossly partisan,
but Ii better than the Democrats had any
reason toexpect from their enemies. Do us
they would, the Republicans we're unable to
prevent New York city, Kings county and
other Democratic districts from having nm
increase Of representation.

The Philadelphia 1imes is delighted over
the appointment Of Corbin us Supreme Judge
Of Utah. because II removes him from politics
and carries him fur away from Washington
and the East. We are afraid that the Times
congratulates itself too early. The Terrific
rles are rapidly being filled up by chrpet-bag-
gers out OF Office. When, In few years,
these Territories become States and send their
Senators and Representatives to Washington,
IL ID greatly TO BIO feared that some Of these
carpet-baggers will get back In this capacity,
Dakota might for Instance, send ~ Its Semi
tors Spencer, late Of Alabama, and Hugh
Campbell. late OF this State; Arizona, Patter-
son, and Utah, Corbn. These Territories are
not far enough away. II the carpet-baggers
must have offices, fill the vacancies In Alaska
with them and trust to the climate and the
Indians never to let them get back TO Wash

been even more serious than at first an

Dominion, the Montreal Muserye and Gazette,
declare that Canada must rule herself, and
that, II necessary, force will be used by her to
reassert her rights and privileges. They wind
up with the declaration that annexation to
the United States would be far better than
such humiliation as Canada has to undergo

politics and the Generalization Of manners
caused by the Lottery, concern only Louis
lana; but the legal positions taken by these
distinguished attorneys, and In SO many in
stances sustained by the Federal courts, con-
Germ every State OF the Union and strike at
the vital principles OF the constitution and the
most sacred rights Of the States.
A case in point occurred short time since
In Virginia where the Federal Judge, Rives,
as boldly invaded the jurisdiction Of the Vir-
ginia courts as Billings will invade the juris-
diction OF the Louisiana courts. But the At
torney General OF Virginia did not rest the
case there. He has gone into the Supreme
Court Of the United States to test the ques-
ton whether or not these subordinate Fed
eral courts can administer the criminal laws
Of Virginia. When Billings renders his deci-
sion In the Lottery case we have no doubt
that our own able and patriotic Attorney
General, who has fought the usurpations so
well and nobly, will carry the issue into the
highest tribunal Of the Republic.
But in the meantime vigorous measures
should be taken by our other State and
city officials and by our members of
Congress to rebuke the action OF
Billings and put an end to these dangerous
usurpations of the Federal judiciary. Gov.
Nichols should issue ringing protest
against the scandalous action of
the lottery Judge in suspending high Grim
inal law Of this State. The chief Of police OF

which have Jurisdiction OF this crime, should
