MOrnhinveg.

There may not be much in name
but this is the name of the man who
keeps neat jewelry shop on Main
street, Opelousas. His establishment is
undergoing repairs-being painted and
furnished with neat shelves-to cores
pond with the beautiful new and we'll
assorted stock Of jewelry he has just re-
ceived, for the approaching holidays.
One of the first things that strikes the
visitors eye, is a lot Of heavily silver
plated table ware-spoons, knives and
forks-which are very cheap. His display
of fine solid gold jwelry is unexcelled.
Mr.. Mornhinveg has shown considerable
taste in his selections, and feels conf
dent that he can please all, both as to
goods and prices, who purchase for
their own use or for presents during
the holidays. At any rate he extends
an invitation to all to call and inspect
his goods, whether they buy or not.

There are about twelve thousand per-
sons in the parish Of St. Landry, enti-
tied to public school education and
there are about forty five schools in op-
Grafton. This gives fraction over two
hundred and sixty-s to each school, if
all were to attend. Notwithstanding
the fact there are SO few schools in pro-
portion to the number of children,
teachers sometimes suspend because a
sufficient number will not attend to JUS
tify keeping up the school. We may
have millions of schools, but education
cannot be poured into individuals, no.
lens uolens, as water is poured into a
barrel.

THE NEV .4PPORTIONMENT.

Whether the Republicans conclude that the
question OF arpOrtOnment should be. acted on
at this session or not, 1t Is desirable that they
should vote on the subject with a full under
Standing of the effect of varOus changes pro-
posed. The elaborate tables published by the
Census Bureau supply abundant data, hut the
arrangement and coocaton of facts, with re-
spect to different political aud sectional inter
ests involved, the Bureau naturally and prop
erly left to members themselves it is not
unlikely that some of the consequences of an
increase in the number of members, or of n
particular increase contemplated may be over
looked when opportunity comes to vote on the
question. Not with q desire to advocate one
mode of settlement or another, bat to show
how far different interests will he affected by
this or that mode the following mggestions
are offered:
The population naturally falls into three
great dIvisOns-the East, West and South.
The six New England States, with q pOpua-
ton of 4,O11,312 or SIP per cent Of the
representative population of all the States,
have naturally associated with them in linan-
clal, commercial and political interests the
States of New York. New-Jersey, and Penn
sylvania. with population of 10,49e, $685. or
21.26 per cent of the whole. These nine
States, which may be called the East, have
29.38 per cent of the whole population.
The second natural division embraces all the
former slave States. Though the real inter-
ests, industrial, commercial and political. of
these States are not the same, the same sup
posed interests govern all of them alike. At
elections, honestly or by fraud, they vote for
the same ticket. In Congress their Represen-
tatives act with q degree Of unanimity not
found in any other section. This section has
37.49 per cent of the whole population. The
eight Southern States lying along the Atlantic
have population of 7,413, 443, or 1902 Der
cent of.the whole; the eight remaining South.
ern States have a population of IL, O91, 732.
or 22.47 per cent of the whole.
The third natural division, the West. en-
braces all States that never held slaves, west
of Pennsylvania and New-YOrk. Its popula-
ton is 1918 per cent of the wholl, and is
growing more rapidly than that of any other
section. The FIVE States east of the Missis-
sippi, namely. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, ILL
nois and Wisconsin, have passed the point of
greatest rapidity of growth, but already have O
population of IL, 204, 270, or 22.70 per cent OF
the whole. The five States of Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, are contigu-
GUS, alike in interests and political tone, and
similar in extraordinary rapidity of growth
| They have population of 4,O47. 506-about
the same as nat of New-England-or SIC
Der cent of the whole. The three Pacifi,
States form smaller division by themselves
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-01-25
with population of 1,1o1,71s. or 2.2s PEI
cont of the whole

with a population of 1,1O1, 71s. or 2.2S per
| cent of the whole.
Apportionment upon the basis Of the new
census, retaining the present number of MEM
bers. will cause loss of one member In each
of the New-England States except Rhode
Island and Connecticut. making four in that
section, of three in New-York and two In
PENNSYLVANIA, making nine in all the Eastern
States. OF the gain, two members go to the
South and seven to the West The South
eastern States neither gain nor lose IN the
aggregate Maryland loses one, which West
Virginia gains, and Florida one, which South
Carolina gains. In the Southwest, the two
additional members go to Texas; Alabama
loses one, which Mississippi gains; Tennessee
Que, which Arkansas gains; and Louisiana
one, which Texas also gains. The Western
States east of the Mississippi lose two men,
beers: Ohio loses one, which Michigan gains,
while Illinois and Indiana each lose one.
Thus a gain Of nine members goes to the
far Western States, one each to Iowa and
California, two each to Minnesota and Me-
braska, and three to Kansas.
If the whole number IS raised to 294,
Massachusetts RECEIVERS one lost member.
At 295, Louisiana RECEIVERS one; at 296,
Pennsylvania at 297, Maryland; at 298,
New York at 900, Alabama. At 300 Ala
bama loses the member just recovered, while
Illinois RECEIVERS one and Texas gains one. AT
Sol, the number proposed in the bill offered by
Mr.. Cox, Alabama again RECEIVERS its loss ; at
302, Florida; at 303, Ohio; and at 3O4
North Carolina gains one. At 305, Tennessee
regains its lost member; at 800, Pennsylvania
regains another, getting its present represen-
tation and at 307, New-YOrk RECEIVERS an
other, and has only one less than its present
number. But three New-England States are
still behind their present number Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont; nor do they recover
even if the whole number be raised 10 325,
though Massachusetts, then gains one. In that
case New-YOrk and Pennsylvania each gain
one more member than they now have; i'll the
Southeast, Virginia, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Georgia each gain one, and South Caro-
lima gains two; in the Southwest, Mississippi,
Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas each gain
one, and Texas five at the West, OHIO, Hill
nOis and Wisconsin gain one each, and Michi-
gan two aud beyond the Mississippi, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Nebraska and California gain two
each, and Kansas gains four Retaining the
classification Of States into seven sections, VIZ !:
eW-England, Eastern Middle, Western MIDI
die, Northwestern, Pacific, Southeastern and
Southwestern States, the effect OF each change
IN the number Of members upon tie repIPscn-
tat0n from each section may be shown as
follows:

may, in such a CASE ask the commentator Oh
their party for their shrewdness III making
bargain with their antagonists.
But what will the Republicans who are con.
cerned in the trade have to say tor themselves
And what will the Republican party IN tne
State say, if it is cheated out Of part OF It's
legitimate power in Congress in order to seat an
obscure man in the Senate, of whose ability ana
opinions it knows next to nothing, and whom 1t
has on no occasion and in no way indicated as
its proper representative Surely there is a
better way to elect Republican Senator from
the great State of Pennsylvania than by the
purchase of Democratic votes. The sup
porters of Mr.. Grow have offered Mr.. divers
friends the chance of a better way, by pro-
posing to submit list of seven Names from
which the Oliver men could choose the Sena-
tor. This suggestion was rejected. Mr.
Oliver,s followers seem more devoted to his
interests than to those of the Republican
marty. The friends of Mr.. Grow can easily
afford the contrast made by the positions OF
the two wings.

A New England Democratic paper has made
the alarming discovery that the policy of the
Rcru bcan party for 1854 will be TO create
discussions in tie Democratic ranks The
country will receive the intelligence with n
shock. For although it is well known that the
Republican party has revealed a depth of de-
prayity in its treatment of the Democracy
that il wholly without parallel in the history
of politics, it has not been thought possible
that human nature could be so base as delib-
craey to attempt to disturb the peace and
tranquility Of a party whose unanimity and
harmony are ut this moment the delight Of all
good men and the admiration of the world.
The infamous conduct of the Republicans in
tle last campaign, in denying that General
Garfield was liar, perjurer and thief, and in
refusing TO believe that he wrote the Morcy
letter, is we'll known. For this, however,
there may be faint shadow of Justification
since they had placed him in nomination and
had to make show of standing by him.
Wicked, obstinately wicked as was their be-
bavior in this regard, it did not 20 to the
length of attempting to SOW discussions in the
party opposed to them.
Bat II seems ~ III the dppeLlle IOr crime
grew by what it fed on. From this statement
and it must be truthful for it comes from q
newspaper not easily deceived, one that could
not be imposed upon by General Garlield's
denial or the forger's confession, but still be-
lieyes that Garfield wrote the Morey letter.
il appears that the inhuman Republican con-
spirators have fixed their evil eyes upon DEM
ocratic harmony and determined TO destroy it.
Coming from any other source we should be
unwilling to credit the report Unhappily, We
know too we'll that partisanship leads to ex
tremes. But We did suppose it had its limits.
And now to think that it deliberately pro-
noses to fling the apple of discOrd into the
ranks of the Democracy and break up that
happy family-it is too. too much. When we
consider this great and united party, cuddled
together in common disaster, cooling over
each other in fraternal sympathy, braiding
their fingers in each others hair, and swapping
eriefs over lost post Offices in terms of mutual
endearment, it does not seem possible that
anybody in human form, much less q great
party, could think for moment of disturbing
such unalloyed domestic bliss.
The newspaper that has discovered this con-
spiracy gives Us no details as to when OIL
where the dissension-sowing is to begin.
Let us at least hope that the unholy enter
prise will not be initiated in this city. Here
at least, where there is so much harmony that
there are not halls enough to hold It, and al
fast as one gets filed they open and ell

THE PENNSYLVANLA DEADLOCK

If the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature want to break the deadlock in the Sena-
torial contest, and, preferring Mr.. Oliver to Mr..
Grow. choose to vote for the former, they will
be doing only what they have q right to do, and
the question of political morality involved is one
for them to settle with their constituents. But
If they take such course in consequence of q
bargain with MIR. divers supporters. by which
the redistricting Of the State is 20 be done in q
way to give their party three or four more Con-
gressmen than IL could otherwise elect, then the
AFFAIR assumes very different phase. They
