upon the old system. 1t was quite an
aDimai ed contest, aud the Democratic
party that had been mainly instrumental
in agitating the question of change
In the Constitution and got into power
on the question, lost many OF its best
men because OF the course taken by some
OF the leading men who were in office
to defeat the adoption of the constitution.
Undoubtedly New castle county Is
entitled to be more largely represented
in the Legislature if her population and
wealth are considered. But until one
of the parties in Kent and Sus-
sex in their political conventions take
ground in favor OF change and are
able to carry majority of their people,
for it there is little hope that any greater
representation will be granted. If the
party in power in those two counties
would take definite action in favor Of
districting the State more fair and
satisfactory adjustment Of the matter
could be had, while the agricultural
portion of the population would be
quite as certain to hold the preponder-
ancs in both Houses Of the General
Assembly as they do now.

refunding should be postponed until

holders to draw S10,000,000 or S12,-

Thurlow Weed discloses aState secret,
that has been long suspected, 10 his let
ter of yesterday, explaining that the
Russian fee which visited our harbors
during the civil war, and remained with
as for considerable time, was under
sealed orders feom the Gar to ore: lis
services to this Government in the event
OF the interference Of England, then
loudly threatened. This is one of the
many acts OF friendship toward this
country performed by the murdered
sovereign. He welcomed Americans to
Russia; encouraged their enterprises
protected them from the Tapacity of his
own officials, and lost no opportunity OF
showing that he wished to serve our
country and our countrymen by every
means in his power. This dead sover.
eign had bis faults-what mortal is per-
feet ?-but they were almost inseparable
from bis station, while his many great
virtues were peculiarly his own. In
exulling ferociously over his death, with
out reserve or qualification, the Nihillsts
ALLEVIATE sympathies that might otherwise
approve their object though not their

EXPERIMENTATION The subject Of
Representation for New Castle county
has been again before the Legislature in
the shape OF resolution deuuuciatory
of the present system giving each county
without regard TO population seven
members in the House aud three ia the
Senate. New Castle county Las pop
ulatlon more than double that OF Kent
and Sassex combined, aud New Castle
county people claim that they should
have a greater number Of members IN
the Legislature. Tbs is certainly a
reasonable demand made more fDrci-
BILE by the fact that the people Of New
Castle county pay more than twics as
much revenue into the State Treasury in
the shape Of taxation than both the
lower counties combined.
There is nothing new in this matter.
The claim of greater representation has
been made since 1894, when the people
Of the State had submitted TO them for
ratification the form Of new Constitn.
tIon In which New Castle county wa.
given increased represent alton in IT,
House. But the people refused 10 ratif,
the new Constitution by their votes
In this colnty the Messrs. Bayard tool
ground against it because it lid nc
give us representation according 10 popu
lAtion and urged other reasons for OF
posing Its adoption on the stump, Will
the late Hon. John NJ. Clayton, the r,
puted father of the present Constil
ton also opposed its ratification in
number Of speeches. Being thus o.

Offices at the time, whose terms Of ofEic

FRIDAY. MARCH rs, 1881.

LET THE DEBT BE FUNDED.-The
scandalous disregard for The interests
of the people shown by Mr.. Hayes in
his veto OF the Funding Bill begins to
be felt at Washington, and President
Garfield is much troubled to know
what to do; and it is said is likely to
yield to the clamor fer an extra ses-
sion in order that something may be
done 10 stop the complaints made be-
cause of the outrageous disregard of
poTular opinion in Hayes veto. If
there is net funding bill passed the
loss of the country will be about $12,-
000,0 900 annually. As all the appro-
priations OF Congress were made dur
ing the last session on the supposition
that this vast sum would be saved to
the national treasury by the funding
bill which Hayes vetoed, 1t is very
likely that large deficiency bill will
have to be passed next winter if an
extra session is not called and or
81 per cent. funding bill put Through.
A cablegTam conveys the remarkable
success of the French per cent. loan
which was put upon The market yes
terdaywhen seven times and half over
the amount asked for is subscribed in
one day; and twice he amount asked
for subscribed in London alone.
With all our vast sources it is al
an..aS ostjpr pos,eious to say we cannot
refund $500, 600, 600 at 3 PER eent,when
France can with such expedition Sc
cure three times at much as she de-
sires at an equal rate of in crest. In
urging an extra session of Congress,
the New York Herald lo-day, says
'sThe failure of the RefundI z bill
is, of course, the main, Though not the
only, reason gwen for calling Con-
Rress together before the regularly APP
pointed time of meeting. 1t is now
generally admitted in Republican l.
cles that Mr.. Hayes veto of the Dem
Ocratic Refundiug bill was a mischiev-
GUS blunder. 1t was a Democratic
measure, hence if it had become a law
and proved ineffective for refunding
the debt the blame would have rested
upon its authors, and not on the Re-
publicans, who could then have refus-
ed to call Congress together before
