News Miscellany from the Four Quar-

Denver, April 12.-This morning. IS
Netcs contains3 startling revelations
concerning the history of the president
of the board of directors of the Com
mercial bank of this city, which was
Incorporated on the 21st of last Feb
ruary, with capital of $i00, 900 and a
suppositional reserve fund of an equal
amount.
The board of directors consists of
James l.. VanWoert, president; Ellen
M. Vanwoert, cashier, and Pliny s.
Rice, Horace w. Cotton, and p. T.
Smith, directors.
The Ne,cs says these people evidently
had their plans well advanced towards
perpetrating gigantic swindle, and
continues substantially as follows:
Vanwoert, president, served six
years in the penitentiary at Charles
town, Massachusetts,, for passing coun-
terfeit money in 1S60 He subsequent
ly started bogus bank at Winstead,
Connecticut, himself president and his
wife cashier. He disappeared, leaving
many debts and swindling hundreds of
people. There are indictments for big
amy pending over his head, and he is
accused of many other crimes. His
associates, with the exception Of Cot
ton and Smith, are of the same stripe.
Rice is well known to the police, and
there is an indictment against him at
Leadville for obtaining money under
false pretenses. Vanwoert was to leave
to-day for New York to place $500, 900
of stock belonging to the Longmont,
Middle Park s. Pacific railroad.

London, April 12.-At the land

The bill, he said, would yet benefit the

REpREsENrArrvn BRAproRp Ia,

REPRESENTATIVE BRADFORD has
given notice of intention to introduce
bill in relation to the fiscal affairs of
Wilmington, as a substitute for the
fiscal bill presented by the City Couu-
Gil. Mr.. Bradford's plan is to cha ngs
the time for collection of taxes, in-
stead of making change in the fiscal
year, as proposed by the city bill
But bis plan is by no means a new
one. 1t is the identical measure pro-
posed in the City Council by Mr.. Rod
ney, and which the Council, after ma
ture elaboration, rejected as being
utterly impracticable. And not only
lie it impracticable, bat it is an impo-
sition upon the poorer classes, who,
numerically, comprise three-fourths
of the tax payers of the city. By MIR.
Bradford's proposed bill, these people,
after struggling through the expensive
winter months and paying their water
rents In January, would be required,
inside of three months, to pay their
city and school taxes also, making a
double financial burden that many of
them are enable to shoulder in so
short period; and if they do not pay
promptly during the month of April
they lose the benefit of the five per
cent. discount which they avail them-
selves of under the present system, by
paying in July, and which will be con.
tinusd under the city's fiscal bill.
This is an important matter, and in
It's consideration the Legislature
should give heed to the desires of the
City Council, the direct representa-
tive Of the people of the city.

GENERAL GRANT is apparently fast
souring on that 1883 Worlds Fair pro
tacL-at least so far as it is to be regarded
as New York enterprise. lie is re-
ported TO have said that if the thing
tizzled out in New York he would favor
Chicag taking hold and trying what
she could do to carry il through to
successful conclusion, and To have eX-
pressed the opinion that if Chicago diG
axe hold all the money needed would
be raised in little less than no time
or Whereabouts. There is no doubt but
That the General is very right in this
opinion, aud there is also no doubt that
il the Fair is TO BE held at all it would
be much better to hold it in Chicago
than in New York. There is not ard
never was any real, healthy, hearty in
terest in New York in the idea Of an
International Exhibition to be held ia
1858. The notion Of holding such an
exhibition was born OF a diScreditable
jealousy OF Philadelphia, and OF disgust
over the decision ~ hold the Centennial
Exhibition in this city. After the Cen
tennial was over aud done for, the New
York public rapidly began to lose inter-
est IN the 1888 project; and now, when
the works of preparation must be COM
meneeG if the Fair is to be held, it has
40 interest whatever in it. General
Grant was made President of the com
mission with the single idea tina, he
would excite pubhc enthusiasm and
cause the 81 descriptions to 61w in; but
he has accomplished nothing, and is APP
parently unable 10 accomplish anything.
The natural result is that he is begin
nlng TO think that New York does not
appreciate him as much as it has pro-
lM4Hf"to do, and that he is longing for
asfeld of operation where he feels con
iiient that he will have hearty popula.
support, and fair chance of doing him
self some credit. 1t would be rough on
New York, though, should the Fair be
held in Chicago, aud should it be a
great and brilliant Ielsgraph.

HE SALE OF THE P. w. s. B. was

many railroads have been sold during
the past ten years. But in the cases
We alluds to there was no doubt az to
the matter. They were poor and went
of from the auctionesr's counter
buch sales were easily understood.
But in the case of the mere purchase
OF given number of the shares OF
stock as in the case of the P. w. & B.
the matter is not SO readily accom-
plishedy where parties desire to throw
obstacles in the way Of transfer OF
the great and valuable franchise the
stock represents. 1t may be true that
Mr.. Ihayer has secured majority of
the shares of stock in this road, or it
may not be true. If he has not and
parties holding please to increase their
price Mr.. Thayer may have to pay a
very high figure for the balance ne

But A. Mr.. EnosA Pratt, one of the late
large stock holders said the sale Of the
road or the stock was only mere mat
Ter OF money making. Suppose Mr..
ThAyer should have a majority OF the
stock, We are not informed that be is re-
quired to hold it or part with it. There
are certain values in the franchise beyond
the interest that accrues in the form OF
dividends. He mi hit have it to-day and
Jay Gould or Vanderbilt have it to.
morrow. 1t was on the market at 7455
Thsyer buys at 10; but suppose he ia
offered so and be sells ? The purchase
constitutes Board of Directors to meet
bis purpose and the Board elect such
officers as the purchaser dictates; to be
more plain, the owner of the majority
OF the stock may elect himself and such
of his friends as he pleases to offices
that pay large salaries without the aid
Of any Of the other stockholders.

The well-known generosity of the p,
W. Il b. to their employees when sick
or disabled for the past ten years is said
10 be one of the reasons why they took
such deep interest in the remonstrances
that were recently sent to the legisla-
ture bearing their signatures. Very
often WI Ell they were thrown off duty
their wages were continued, or their

such conduct remembered with graft

culations made ut the Census office,
the results of which we're presented in
a'printed table, that every member
had before him, the House Committee
came to the conclusion that the right,
number of members for the House for
the next ten years was BOT. The num-
Der proposed by Mr.. Cox was 3O1, as
against the present 1893. This number
secures equality of representation
among the various sections of the
country according to their proportions
of the whole population more nearly
than any other convenient number
can. Dividing the country geographi-
cally into three great and well defined
sections, the proportions of population
arc as follows:
The Northeast, including New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, contains 1914 of the
population, and to this section 301
Representatives would accord89 mem>
bers; the South, that 10 the old slave
State, has 1915 per cent. of the popu-
lation, and to that section would be
accorded 112 members, while theWest,
embracing all the States not included
in the first two sections, has 1871 of
the whole population, and to these are
accorded 100 members. This is as
nearly an equitable distribution as can
be got at by computation based on
any convenient number of members.
The approximation proportion of
members due to those sections by
proportions of people would be SS4
members for the Northeast; 995 fer
the West, and 1921 for the South, and
these are distributed by Mr.. Cox's
bill as follows: 50 to the Northeast,
100 to the West, and liz to the South.
These make up the 301, and arithme-
teal science cannot get nearer to
equity than that without splitting a
mem er Of Cong ess into fractions.
In reporting 307 as the proper num-
Der, the Census Committee not only
broke away from strict equity, but it
failed TO satisfy the States that will |
either save themselves from losses, or |
make some gains by much larger
and less convenient number. The |
number 307 helps only few States to
save their amour prOpre in the way of |
State pride. Florida gains member
at 800; Ohio gains one at 303; Penn
sylvania gains one at 306; New York
gains one at 307 (the number in the |
pending bilD, and there the advant-
age stops unless the number is carried
higher and higher. Georgia gets
another member at 30S; Missouri
another at 300; and Indiana another
at 8l1. So the latter number brings
10 It's support an array of powerful
delegations. A House of 3l9 would |
help out several other States, and one
Of 1925 still more. But all this destroys |
the almost absolute equity flowing
from the number of 30l, as shown |
above, and while doing this adds
heavily to the expense Of Congress.
