A Horrible Accident.

MABYsvILLE, Perry Co., June TO-
Yesterday afternoon about one
o'clock as Harry Sloop, a twelve
year old son of Josiah Sloop, esq. of
Rye township, Perry county. who
lives about seven miles west of
Marysville, on the Fishing Creek
road, took a mule to water at the
creek. Upon returning to the barn
the mule became frightened and
jumped, and throwing the boy off
his back. The hitching strap to the
bride was very long and the lad had
unthinkingly ties it about his waist
to keep it off the ground. The strap
held when the boy fell and the beast
dragged the body about 200 yards
before it was stopped, when it was
found that the boy was tramped and
bruised into lifeless mass.

WHEN to the outrageous squander-
ing ofthe peoples money by the late
Legislature, in extravagant appro-
priations, comes to be added the ex-
penses of a prolonged session of one
hundred and fifty days, and the
costs of an extra session of probably
sixty days, the honest tax payers of
the State will be forced to the con-
clusion that they have paid mon

THERE is no election for Members
of Congress or of the Legislature this
year, and there is therefore no ex-
cuse for the indecent haste of this
forced extra session. Not q single
interest Of the State, or of the people
would have suffered if it had been
postponed until next winter. A
postponement until then would have
given time for any excitement en-
gendered by the failure TO pass ap-
portionment bills, to have cooled,
would have given members ample
time to have consulted with their
constituents. would have given the
people time to coolly examine the
question for themselves. But time
for deliberation was not what Gov.
Pattison and his advisers wanted.

AppOrtlOnmcnt-
The Democrats of our Legislature
wanted to base the Congressional
apportionment upon political lines,
and not upon population, as COM
manded by the law. The theory of
the law is that all of the people are
entitled to representation-men, wo-
men and children, and this is right.
To base apportionment upon politi-
cal lines as the dominant thought,
has led to all the gerrymandering
complained of, and fairness is only
to be found in adherence to the law
in its letter and spirit. A division of
the population of Pennsylvania by
shows that the "a Republi-
can counties have population of
2, ,659, 600, while the 81 Democratic
counties have only / ,55S, ,0OO--a diff
ference of nearly two to one in favor
Of the Republicans, and as the Dem
ocratic counties are grouped together.
there is no way to make an appor-
tionment based upon population,
