PRESIDENT HAYES seems to have an espe-
cial weakness for Gen. William B. Hazen,
and it is said persists against all opposition
in appointing him chief signal officer in
place of Gen. Myer, deceased. Hazen is
vastly overrated, being really man of small
mental calibre, but of large superficial sur
face pretentions. There are certain war
"reminiscences damaging to his character, if
not to his courage as military officer, and
his childish, small-fry, petulent reports
from Fort Buford, falsely decryipg the
country for alleged barrenness, were a
disgrace to him. The truth is the poor
weakling was homesick on that distant
frontier post, and looked upon things with
jaundiced eye. Brave officers
when they 60 into the military service of the
country, expect to accept whatever position
may be assigned them, without whining. AT
the breaking out of the rebellion he was 90
intensely surcharged with pro-slavery virus
as to be scarcely loyal, and certainly he was
not we'll affected towards the Republican
party. Besides, his personal habits at that
time were alleged to be none of the best.
But, being an Ohio man, he looms up now
as an especial pet of Mr.. Hayes in having
with much flourish and pomp,and noisy pub
LEGATION of the fact, betaken himself away to
Hiram, Ohio, Gen. Garfeld's old home, to
vote for that gentleman for President, he
seems to have such hold on both the out
going and incoming administrations that he
is likely to be well taken care of. The
signal service bureau is fat
sineoure compared with the position of
commandment at Fort Buford. 1t may be
said with exact truth that Hazen has not a
single scientific attainment qualifying him
to preside with usefulness over the signal
service bureau; and his appointment to a
place for which he is clearly so unfit will
simply be an act of favoritism wholly in
defensible.

THE CONGRESSIONAL REAPORTION.
MENT

Probably the most important matter
that will come up for consideration at the
session of Congress which meets to-day noon
will be the apportionment for future Con-
crosses under the new census. The emu.
meration of inhabitants made in June last
shows an access of population CT about ten
millions during the past decade, mostly in
the West and South. There are at present
293 members of the House of Representa-
tives, the basis of Representations having
been one member for about $4,000 of the
population. If the same proportion is
maintained this year there would be need OF
an addition of about seventy-five members
making the total number 368. 1t is not
probable, however, that Congress will agree
to so large an increase of tho number OF
members, but will instead increase the ratio
of representation so as to maintain the mem.
bership of the House at its present proper.
tions. This will transfer the control of the
House from the Eastern to the
Western States, and the proposition
will no doubt be approved by the Represen-
tatives of the first named section. Each oil
the New England States will lose member
New York will lose two, Pennsylvania one
and New Jersey one. Most of the Southern
States will retain their present status, while
those seats taken from the East will be dis
tributed among the States west of the
Mississippi river, Minnesota gaining at least
one.
There is urgent necessity for the en-
actment of q re-apportionment act at the
present session. More than two-thirds OF
the States hold only biennial sessions of the
legislature. This winter all these bodies
will be in session, and if Congress acts
promptly in the matter can take action be-
fore adjournment in the spring. If the
present Congress does not act it will be
necessary to call extra sessions of the legis-
latures in twenty-six States, involving an
outlay of hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and at the same time needlessly prolong the
season of political excitement.
The Representatives from the Western and
Southern States, independent of party affilia-
tions,wil no doubt unite in urging upon Con-
gress the need of prompt action on the sub
ject, and they may receive some assistance
from the East. 1t is matter that con-
Germs the whole country. The Forty eighth
Congress, which is to be elected in the fall
of 1882, must be chosen under the new ap-
portionment, and it is necessary that the
boundaries of the new districts should be
definitely arranged and thoroughly under
stood before the nominating conventions
are held in that year. 1t is not party ques.
tion in any sense, as one party is likely te
gain as much as the other. 1t is, however
sectional in its character, as we'll as involving
the right of the majority to rule in Congress
as well as in other departments of the gov
eminent. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
the convenience of the legislatures of TWEEN
| ty-six States as we'll as the wishes of ma
jority of the people will be respected by
Congress, and that action on this matter be
taken before the holiday recess if possible
or as soon afterwards as the measure can be
perfected.

CONGRESSMAN SINGLETON, of Illinois,

CONGRESSMAN SINGLETON, of Illinois, is
generally sensible on economic topics, but
he is little off in Directing to the
refunding of the loan of 1881, and
in claiming that it can be paid on ma
turity. He should be aware of the fact that
there are over seven hundred and fifty
millions of bonds falling due next year, and
that it would be impossible to redeem them
even under the most favorable circum-
stances, short of five years. Secretary Sher.
mans suggestion of a short. low-interesi
bond is far the best.

COMMISSIONER RAUM is true to the in

the taxes on banks and bank checks, thus
relieving those who loan money and keep
bank accounts from their share of the pub
lie burdens, while leaving the taxes upon

MIR. Ramsey, the Mars of Mr.. Hayes cab
et,delights also to be regarded as its funny
man. He SO posed upon the Pacific coast,
with the appreciation of the Slopers.. Mr..
Hayes, as he has taken sundry occasions to
inform the people Of this republic, declines
to make an after dinner talk, and for the
very excellent reason, though he has been
silent upon the point, that post-prandial
oratory is quite beyond his powers. Anyone
in politics may make tolerable stump
speech, but, for an after dinner talk, grace,
wit, culture, abunding humor, excellent
taste are q necessary, none of which Mr.. Hayes,
who is clumsy, self complacent accident
from Ohio, possesses. At the Eastern gath
ering, the other day. Mr.. Hayes, when called
on after dinner,pleaded the rule he long ago
made for himself, and gave way to Mr..
Secretary Ramsey, who forthwith proceeded
to make exhibit of himself as the cabinet
wag. He said:
II can understand very well that on an
ordinary occasion the President of the United
States might well decline to make an after
dinner speech. because on ordinary occasions
there is generally good deal of wine circulat-
ing laughterl-bu here we have been drink
ing pure water and tea and Coffee and really
cannot see, therefore, why my friend is afraid
to make speech Renewed laughter At
adInner where the wine flows forth with
abundance, it might be q little indiscreet for
man to make speech directly after, and no
doubt the President has adopted this rule be-
cause of his past experience in that regard
Laughter. 1 respect the President for the
habit he has acquired; but, having taken moth
ing but cup of tea on the present occasion,
l feel none Of his reluctance
All of this is highly divertiDg. The presi-
dent doesn't drink, of course, and that's
where the exquisite fun of it all comes in
But brilliant as is Mr.. Ramsey in his post
prandial efforts, it will not be forgotten just
yet that there is one Mr.. Evarts in the cabi-
net, whose skill as an after dinner orator is
exqui site, and in who's presence upon such
occasions Mr.. Ramsey will wonder why he
(Ramsey himself) has not made the resolve
which saves MIR. Hayes from much failure.
