The Apportionment Bill Defeated

As was foreshadowed, by the fill
clustering and obstruction policy adopt
ed by the Republicans in Congress, this
important measure of urgent necessity
has been defeated. Two-thirds of the
States will thus be put to the expense
of extra sessions OF the legislatures.
The cost to Pennsylvania alone for this
by-play of Republican members will
aggregate little less than half mil
lion of dollars, to which the people
will be largely indebted to the Repub.
lican representatives from their own
State. There was no excuse whatever
for the defeat of an apportionment
bill. The bill presented was absolute
ly equitable and fair, proven such by
the census and conceded by the most
reputable Republican authority as
providing exact justice to all. Such
journals as the New York Times and
Springfield Republican in the strongest
terms commended its fairness and re-
commended its adoption. But no !;
men of light weight, such as Conger
and Robson, had obtained the leader.
ship of their party. They supposed
that some mean party advantage could
be had, if the bill could be carried
over to a Republican Congress. In
this expectation they will undoubtedly
fail. The precedents they have made
and the temper and object so mani
festly shown, will not encourage Dem
ocrats in the next Congress to permit
any undue advantage to be taken in
the passage of an unfair or partisan
bill. To suppose for a moment that
the Democratic Congressman would
do so after the lesson received from
their opponents, would be voting them
asses or fools of the most pronounced
type. The people will not find Ran.
dali, Carlisle, Curtin, Cox and other
able Democratic representatives men
of that stripe.

WAS He BoUGHT?-The Funding
bill, passed by both Houses of Con-
gress, was vetoed in the last hours of
the session by the miserable Fraud
who held the Presidential office, under
circumstances of grave suspicion that
his exit was attended by the same dis
honesty that characterized bis entrance
upon the stolen Office. The National
Banks have thus shown their power,
under present organization, TO control
the legislation of the country in any
measure that may interfere with their
cent. per cent. dividends, however
unlustly It may oppress the people.
Nay, they have done more, they have
challenged the contest which is sure
to follow the attempt TO coerce the

the country. This challenge the peo-

cept, and test their sovereignty against
the rule or ruin policy which these
banks seem to have adopted a. an

On Saturday afternoon, the day fol.
lowing the Inauguration, President
Garfield sent to the Senate the names
of the gentlemen whom he had select
ed for his cabinet. 1t Is stated that
the question of referring the names to
committees was discussed at some
length in executive session, but met
with so little support that there was
not even single objection which
would have carried the matter over
for day and the subject was dropped
without vote, whereupon each nomi-
nation was in turn unanimously con.
firmed. The cabinet is, therefore, as
follows:
Secretary of State-James @. Blaine,
Maine.
Secretary of the Treasury William
Window, Minnesota.
Secretary of the Interior-Samuel J i.
Kirkwood, Iowa.
Secretary of War-Robert T. Lincoln,

THE National Banks and their obe-
dent servants, the Republican men,
bers, having bulldozed Congress as
long as it was profitable to do 80, to
defeat the Funding Bill, changed their
tactics and obtained the services of a
bull-headed fraud, acting as President,
to do by the veto power wrongfully in
his possession, what they failed to
force by coercion. The defeat of this
necessary and important bill and the
disreputable means employed to ac-
complish it, will not add much to the
strength of the banks. A day of
reckoning may come to them sooner
than they anticipate. It is already
getting into the heads of the people
that they cannot afford to surrender
their independence and become tribu-
tary to the money lords both in purse
and government without protest of n
very decided character. The squelch.
ing process may become popular, as
we'll as greenbacks.

lHE appearance Of General Han.

the utmost difficulty and only after
a resort to harsh means were preven-
ted from removing the horses from
the carriage provided for his accom-
mediation and drawing it by hand
from the depot to the hotel. His re-
ccption was indeed an ovation. and
wherever he appeared during the pro-

was "the observed Of all obscrvers'

attention and honor. 1t was a trying
