AppOrtIOnment.

The Senate passed a congressional
apportionment bill, which it knows the
House will not assent to. The Republi-
can senators desire evidently to keep the
present congressional apportionment.
They propose to refuse to obey the law
requiring them to apportion the state.
To pass bill in one House so unfairly
partisan that it fails to command all the
Republican senator's votes, and which it
is certainly known will not be adopted in
the other House, is as distinct a refusal
to comply with the law demanding an
apportionment as would be the failure to
pass any bill at all.
Senator Herr declared in the Senate
that the Republican senator's duty3n

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blessed.
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
BY fairy hands their knell is rung;
Ey forms unseen their dirgc is sung,
There Honor comes, pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
AMI Freedom shall awhile repair.
To dwell 4 weeping hermit there.

making an appOrtlOnment, was 20 secure
the largest possible Republican vote in
Congress; because it was its duty to see
that Republican principles prevailed in
this land. Senator Herr Is not fool.
But he is not wise. And especially he is
not honest. He belongs to the class of
statesmen who do not believe in tie SOW
ereignty of the people who do not
think that every freeman should be
given his voice by the ballot. They
consider that those who are in possession
of political power would be fools not to
use it to perpetuate themselves in power
against the voice of the people. Senator
Hers sentiments entitle him to repre-
sent the state in the penitentiary, but
not in the Senate.
In view of the disposition of the ma
jority of the Senate to refuse to do its
duty, we think that Governor Patti
son, in the event of failure of the ap.
portionment bills, should call the Legis.
lature together first, to give it another
opportunity to do its duty and second,
to emphasize and advertise to the people
its failure to do it, if it again refuses.
