The View ApportIonment.

Conjecture is busy at present with the
probable results of the new apportionment Of
representation in Congress, based upon the
census of 1880. The principal question re-
lates to the number of members which will
be fixed upon for the new House. There are
serious objections to any considerable en-
lsrgement Of the present House, which is
fully large enough for satisfactory represen-
tation and for full efficiency. The estimates
which are made rest for the most part upon
the conjecture that the membership will re-
main as at present or that II will be increased
TO 800 or 1876.
II the membership of the House remains Of
at present, 293, the ratio will be l to 1853, 157,
the total representative population of the
country being about 40, 269, 065. On this ba.
sis the New England states would lose four
one each in Maine, New Hampshire, Yer.
mont and Massachusetts, Northwestern
states would lose three and gain nine, the
Middle states would lose Ave, the Pacific
states would gain one, and the Southern
states would gain seven and lose Eve. II the
membership is fixed at 800, the ratio Of APP
portionment would be to 164, 233. On THU
basis the New England states would still lost
four, the Middle three, the Northwestern
would gain nine and lose two, the Pacific
gain one, and the Southern would gain eigh
and lose two. II the membership is fixed a
1926, the ratio becomes l to l51 900. Tn,
New England states would then gain one
which would fall to Massachusetts, and woult
lose three the Middle states would gain two
the Northwestern fifteen, the Pacific two, ant
the Southern fifteen. On either of these ba
SEES of apportionment Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont must each lose a member

plan to recruit their strength by the creation
of three new states out of the present state Of
Texas II is proposed to eff ect this division
under the terms of the joint resolution an
nexing Texas to the Union, which provides
that new states of convenient size, not ex-
ceeding four in plumber, in addition to the
said state of Texas, and having sufficient pop
ulation, may hereafter, by the consent Of said
states. be formed out of the territory thereof,
which shall be entitled to admission under
the provisions of the Federal constitution. ="
It is claimed that only the consent Of the
Texas Legislature is necessary to division.
Texas has sufficient population to entitle each
Of the three new states to two members of
the House, whereas only one is necessary,
and the fourth new state, it is said, can be
created at any time hereafter Three more
states out of Texas territory would give the
Democrats six more Senators. 1t will be re-
membered that when this matter was touched
upon by Senator Edumnds and other Repub-
lican speakers during the presidential cam
paign they were accused of attempting to in
flame popular prejudice and of trying to get
up scare about an imaginary danger which
had no existence in reality.

some localities, namely, time, education,
emigration and charity. Nobody will now
be disposed to deny that years and perhaps
generations must elapso before we can look
for any essential improvement at the South
in the condition Of public sentiment but
that II will become more rational aud liberal
as the years go by, who that remembers the
change in Northern sentiment within the last
twenty-five years can doubt2 Those Of us in
middle life can easily remember when the
prejudice against the negro, and the white
man who befriended him, was almost as
powerful at the North as it is at the South to-
day only with us the blacks formed but an
insignificant part of the population, and the
dread of being ruled by them could not be
offered as an excuse for their maltreatment
But before the South can rise to its proper
moral level the leaven of education must have
had time and opportunity to permeate all
classes of society, white as well as black.
The application Of this remedy is properly
within the scope and power of the national
government and we look with confidence to
the coming administration to see the work al.
ready 80 well begun by private and charitable
enterprise carried forward in the spirit Of q
wise and broad patriotism. Other influences
are also at work in the solution of the South
ern problem. Population and wealth are in
creasing; many of the negroes are emigrat-
ing to the free lands Of the West foreigners
are coming in mineral and agricultural re-
sources are being developed; manufactures
are springing up; railroads are being built,
opening up sections hitherto secluded from
the great world Of traffic and with this in
crease of activity and oommotion, this jostle
with the outside world will come the influence
of the worlds thought; public sentiment will
undergo a gradual improvement; personal
ambitions and local issues will operate TO di-
vide and weaken the solidarity of the ruling
party and in the coming years the intoler
ance born of slavery and ignorance, which
now curses the fairest section of our country
will be as a garment that is outgrown and
cast away. Till that happy day arrives lei
us possess our souls in patience, taking goot
care, meantime, that the nation be protected
from the consequences of ill-gotten power
and making the best use Of such peaceful ant
benefcent agencies as we can control.

The snow storm which prevailed here, as
well as all over New England and far TO the
south, on Sunday night and Monday morning,
was by far the worst and heaviest of the sea-
son. In the low lands hereabouts the fall was
from ~ to 10 inches. In some of the hill
towns in the county a slightly less amount
than fell here is reported. The snow was of
that peculiarly mealy, sleety kind which is
exceptionally heavy and solid and refuses to
pack or tread down. The storm closed with
rain, which, freezing, covered the snow and
everything else with thick, icy crust. The
trains, north and south, were upward of two
hours late on Monday morning. and were not
on time at night. The Wilmington stage was
two hours late, and the Jacksonville stage did
not arrive till O'Clock p. M. On the line OF
the narrow-gauge road the snow above New
fame and Townshend was not less than 20
inches deep. The morning train down, with
only common snow-plow on its locomotive,
came through this heavy snow, which in some
places had sfted in to depth of four feet,
without the least Inconvenience. West Dunn
merston was reached promptly on time, and
the train was some minutes ahead of time
when, at point in the rock-cut on the side
of the mountain opposite the Estey farm, it
struck slide of solid snow not less than Is
feet deep. This, of course, brought the train
to a stand still, and it was delayed here till 2
O'Clock P. NJ. The mixed train was omitted
on that day, and its locomotive, with the large
snow-plow attached, went up from this end
and met the stalled train. In the mean time,
however, the Valley train had come down and
thrown the snow from its track over on to
the narrow-gauge track, and, the latter's snow
pillow being headed the wrong way, much diff
hculty was experienced in working down
from the West River bridge to the station.
In this way the actual arrival of the train was
delayed until o'clock in the evening. 1t was
deemed impracticable to run the other train
back that night, and the run back was made
the next morning with the second locomotive
and large snow-plow in advance, the return
trip in the afternoon being made in the same
way. Since Tuesday night all trains have
run on time, as usual. The trouble on the
side of the mountain was unfortunate, ~ 9th

The Windham Couasy Medical SOC

The regular annual meeting of the Wind
ham County Medical Society was holden at
the Brooks House, Brattleboro, Jan. 18th.
Owing to the recent heavy fall of snow and
the bad condition of the roads, the attend
ance Of physicians from the more distant
towns was limited, yet enough appeared to
render the meeting quite an interesting one
In the absence of the president the meeting
was called to order by the vice president DIR.
Gray. The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved, after which the unfin-
ished business upon the table was called up
and disposed Of This done, the society lis
tened to a very interesting and instructive
paper upon The Treatment of Pulmonary
Diseases" by DIR. G. Henry Howard of Fay
etteville. The discussion of the paper which
followed its reading was participated in by
Drs. Gray, HoltOn, Draper, Gregg, Petten-
gill, Drew, Campbell, Weston and others.
Owing to the absence OF DR.. Swift, who was
to have presented the other paper, the society
was without farther written matter for discus
sion, yet recital of interesting cases, which
followed, served to pass the time both agree
ably and proftably. The committee on
nominations reported through their chair
man, DIR. Drew, the following list of officers
for the ensuing year;
President, J. II. Stedman, N. D., West
Brattleboro vice president, E. II. Petten-
gill, NJ. D., Saxtons River recording sec'y.
Chas. W. Drew, NJ. D., Brattleboro CORE

board of censors, H. ID. Holton, NJ. D., Brat
tleboro; f. Il. Campbell, NJ. D., Bellows
Falls; F. j. Swift, NJ. D., Wilmington.
The report was, upon motion, accepted,
and by vote Of the society those named were
declared duly elected for the ensuing year.
Upon behalf Of the officers of the Vermont
Asylum for the Insane an invitation was ex-
tended to the society to visit the asylum For
this courtesy vote of thanks was rendered
to the medical staff of the asylum. An ad.
journment was then had for the purpose of
refreshment and paying visit to the asylum,
until 2;30 p. NJ, at which hour the society re-
assembled with the newly-elected vice presi-
dent, DR.. Pettengill, in the chair After a
discussion Of various topics the society ad.
journed to meet again at Bra.tleboro the sec
ond Wednesday of March.

The Village Meeting.

As is stated in our report of the village
meeting held on Monday evening, the pro-
posed amendments to the village charter were
defeated by a strong negative vote. While
we believe il would be better for the village,
on the whole, that the amendments should
be adopted, we do not regard the matter as
a strictly essential one either way, and we
may therefore say, without undue prejudice,
that the adoption of the amendments was re-
fused for personal reasons and because Of
complications with individual feuds and jeal-
ousies, and not on the merits of the question.
With few exceptions it was apparent that
those who actively opposed the amendments
had unconsciously allowed personal feeling
or preconceived opinion to cover up the real
point at issue, and it is evident that the ma
jority had not taken in the fact that the only
real change which the amendments can &C
complish is to carry the date of the annual
meeting forward to March, and to give the
village that portion of its highway tax money
which the present charter apportions to it,
but neglects to provide for the payment of
the money to the village by the town author
tiles. The matter of the adoption of the
amen dments can again come up at future
meeting, but such meeting ought not to be
called, if ever, until the present feeling on
the subject has entirely subsidized.
That the meeting on Monday evening was
in large part a veritabe "bear dance" and
that toward the close it became at times nei-
Their more ror less than bowling mob, is
disgrace to the village. The matter is not
pleasant one for public comment, but due
regard for the future good name of this COM
munity compels US to refer to it in plain Ian
guage. All of the personalities which so
freely marked the debate on the charter
amendments were out of place, undignihed,
and unworthy those who INDUCED in them
The remarks and conduct of the chief engin-
eer W ere, however, so outrageous and so far
without the pale of common decency, as to
deservedly lose him the respect of all we'll
mi nded citizens. A man who cannot control
himself in public is not fit to have control of
fire department, or to have the possible su-
preme authority over whole village placed
in his hands at a time of danger and excite
ment. Whatever the real or fancied provo
cation, previously existing, public meeting
was no place for the chief engineer to air an
old grievance and wantonly and repeatedly
insult another official who showed his man
hood by keeping a closed mouth and an I'M
ruffied demeanor. The conduct of the chief
engineer ought to have cost him his defeat,
and would have done so had the meeting
been as full toward the close as at the begin
ming. We say this without detracting in the
least from the courage bravery and eficien-
cy of Major Wales when in his proper place
at the head of fire company. Unruly pro-
ceedings, like those we have referred to,
have become quite too common of late in ouI
town, village and school meetings. Self-re-
specting men owe it to themselves and the
fair fame of their town to severely frown
them down in Il future.

The award to Great Britain of five aud one
half millions of dollars by the Halifax Com
mission, in the Canadian fisheries matter,
was regarded at the time as exorbitant, and
now Prof. Henry Y. Hind, the compiler of
the analytical index to the documents of the
Fisheries Commission, is out with tabulated
statement, supported by names, dates and
other proofs, alleging that the Canadian gov
eminent presented fraudulent statement of
the Canadian fisheries through Ion period
of years as a basis for a fictitious claim
against the United States. The Canadian
authorities are silent in the matter, but the
alleged disclosure has evidently produced an
impression in England. A resolution for an
investigation will probably be introduced in
Congress.

Gov. Pillsbury of Minnesota, in his recent
address to the Legislature, devotes considera-
BILE space to the shameful reputation of the
debt of that state, both by the people and
the Legislature. The state pledged its credit
to railroad company. The bonds were
sold, but the company was unable to carry
out its scheme, and the state was called upon
to pay the interest. This it has refused to
do, and now the principal soon falls due.
Gov. Pillsbury devotes nearly column to
this matter, and he manages to speak very
plainly about it. He implores the people Of
that prosperous state to discharge the obi
cation and thus remove the only stain upon
the reputation of the vigorous and prosper
Gus commonwealth.
