THE APPORTiONMENT.
A Duty That Certainly VIII He Performed
by. the Hrass...t l.on..-.s.

| by the Present Congress.
The Democratic press of the country
should recall the old proverb about
counting chickens before they are
Matched. Some of them, assuming that
the Democrats will have a majority in
| the next House, are getting excited.
and are arguing with much unbecoming
heat that the present Congress, at it's
session the coming winter, should not
deal with the matter of apportionment.
sas should delegate that pleasing duty
TO the succeeding Congress.
In the first place, the House to be
elected this fall is by no means likely
to contain Democratic majority: but
| whether il will or not, the apportion-
ment will be made this winter, by the
/ present Congress, for the very sufficient
reason that it is the duty of Congress TO
do this as soon as may be conveniently
after the census is taken. There is
! grotesquerie peculiarly Bourbonish in
the position that the Republicans must
! give the Democrats all the political adj
vantage possible in apportioning Repre-
sentatives in Congress for the next ten
| years. History fails to show any iu-
! stance of the kind in Democratic annals,
| however.
| In point of fact there is no way of get
ting any particular advantage through
reapportionment if it be honestly and
fairly done, as it will be by a Republican
Congress. The Democratic anxiety is
due to the fact that the census shows
that the Republican States have grown
more rapidly than the solidly Demo
cratic ones, and that population, prog
ress, wealth and enlightenment show
their greatest gains in localities in
which Republican sentiment is the
strongest The Bourbons wish to mega
tive the advantage this legitimately
gives the Republican party, if possible,
by adopting the ratio which will give
the most Democratic Representatives,
and thus perpetuate for another ten
years the steadily waning power of the
solid South in National politics.
Our Bourbon brethren, however. may
set it down as a fact that the present
Congress will perform the work OF APP
portionment, and that it will very like
ly be on the lines laid down in the Dun
nell bill, now pending in the House
This bill takes 1870 600 inhabitants as
the ratio for one Representative; and
we give below a table which shows the
present representation of the several
States. the number of full ratios to
which they would be entitled under this
bill, the fractions in excess of full
ratios, and the number of Representa-
tives on the basis proposed:

The Happlest OF women.

One of the most successful women in
society is the woman who absolutely
knows nothing-that is, in the ordinary
acceptance of the term-but whose ma
ture is so nicely adapted to the needs
and requirements of this life that she
makes no plumbers, and hurts the tender
feeling of no one. 1t is a matter for us
to reflect upon, and it should incite us
to help our children TO cultivate that
spirit of kindness which would just as
readily speak well of people as i'll, if
not to prefer to do so. We might teach
our daughters that to listen patiently to
the praise of others will not detract in
the least from their charms. Those
happy women who are capable of honest
and hearty admiration for persons Of
their own sex are and always have been
admired and loved, though without ac-
complishments or graces save this one
of Unborn charity and good-win.-N. Y.
