legislative representation. They could not make
an Assembly district partly in the NNist ana

had nothing whatever to do with Senate district

Of the Westminster Supervisors to respect them
and distribute Assembly districts accordingly bur
they could not or would not see that the territory
taken from them and given to Ncw-York had any

annexed TO New-York for municipal and county

for the purpose Of eecting Senators. Assembly

entire suspension of traffic has been endured

VESTCHESTER APPORTIONMENT.

The decision of the General Term of the SUI
preme Court upholding the ruling Of Justice
Patterson that the territory recently annexed TO
the city by an act Of the last Legislature could
not be included in the XXIst Senate District
may possibly lead the citizens Of that territory
who have been paying lawyers 10 secure them
representation TO seek IT i'll n direction which
common-sense does not from the beginning de-
clare to be wrong. AS The Tribune has several
times pointed out, the proper body TO rcctify the
injustice done to the voters Of the newly acquired
part Of New-York through their being excluded
from representation In the Senate and Assembly
Is the Board Of Supervisors of the county Of
Westchester. Justice Patterson by implication
made the same suggestion when he declined to
order the New-York Board of Aldermen to in
clude them In its apportonmcnt, and Justice
Dykman said SO directly in an order TO the
Westchester Supervisors 10 include the ignored
people In the XXIId Senate District and to re-
apportion the Assembly districts of the county
on that basis. The Supervisors have seen fit TO
appeal from that decision, and 1t must De re-
viewed by the General Term in the Second De
partment. Meanwhile the General Term in the
First Department In affirming Justice Patterson
in effect gives approval TO Justice Dykman
though in form 1t only denies the opposite propo-
siion, and leaves the positive affirmation and
order which may reasonably be expected TO be
delivered by the other General Term which will
have Jurisdiction Of the appeal.
The question seems too simple TO have required
this extended litigation. The Senate districts

Again yesterday the Defender showed her SUI
periority to the Vigilant in a run Of thirty-seven
miles from Vineyard Haven to Newport. There
were no mishaps this time. The first twenty
miles Of the course was beat to windward,
which gave the Defender good opportunity to
show her quickness in stays With remark
ably even start, she gained five minutes on her
rival; and further gain of four minutes on the
reach Of seventeen miles brought her to the
finish nine minutes ahead Of the Nigilant. This
race must be accepted as a fairly satisfactory
test Of the two yachts, and greatly strengthens
the already strong probability that the Defender
will be chosen 10 defend the cup.

The action of the Chautauqua authorities in
granting to Catholics permission to celebrate
mass in the Associations chapel Is a more en-
couraging sign OF the times than the congresses
of religion which have been in vogue lately. A
friendly recognition OF differences of belief which
subssts for ffty-two weeks in the year is much
better than spasmodic attempts TO assmiate the
teachings of dozen systems within the space Of
a few dayS.

The testimony Of one witness at the trial OF
Captain Eaklns yesterday recalls some OF the
sensational passages in the Lexow investigation
While the woman's evidence did not directly i'm
plicate Eakins 1t involved number Of his men,
and taken in connection with what his ward
man, Shalyey, swore to before the Lexow Com
mittee, 1t leaves the captain in an unpleasant
plight The woman averred that she had paid
between $4,000 and $1,000 to the police. While
the Senate Investigating Committee was sitting
she was besought not to go before it, but as soon
as 1t adjourned the bounding of the police was
resumed. This testimony cannot be accepted
without confederation, but it Is in keeping with
so much that the public has learned in the last
year that many people will believe II with little
hesitation.
