VOL. 16
The House Apportionment Bill
The House Apportionment Bill,
which we publish in another place, is
a sample of the fairness that actuates
the Radical majority. After 411 the
huts which that party made over the
Senate's bill, which was iti - model of
impartiality compared with this one,
we did have an idea that the Radical
majority in the House would at least
make a stagger toward a fair appor
tionment of the State. How our ex•
pectations have been reilized,our read
ere can judge 4,tr themselves. The
(louse bill, as they call see, is an error
1110118 gerrymander, worse, even ' , than
the mighty fraud of 1864, and has
been gotten up solely for die purpose
of keeping the Legislature in the hands
of the Radicals. They are afraid to
trust themselves in the hands hi the
people by a fair apportionment. They
see so plainly that Radicalism is on
the decline—that the day ot its powty
is waning —that all., their hopes and
schemes are coming to naught—that
a great popular revolution has begun
—that Democracy is fast regaining its
hold on the affection of the country,
that they are now existing in absolute
terror of a popular verdict. Hence,
their unwillingness to trust their paily
to a fair apportionment, and their
eager desire to so construct Senatorial
and Legislative districts as to give a
preponderance of Radical counties in
each one. Their whole salvation de
penile on their being able to elect a
majority ot the Legislature, and con
sequently we cannot so mach wonder
at their indecency as manifested in this
contemptible and outrageous bill.
But the Democratic Senate will
never agree to such an abortion as this,
if it should be obliged to sit all summer.
Its own bill was infinitely a hetet one
—vastly more fair to the Radicals
than this !louse bill is to the Demo
crate. But the Radical majority in
the House refused even to consider
that bill. They seem to want to &e
-late to the Senate, and this dictt4o7 ,
the Senate will not allow. Ilene(' there
is a prospect of a long disagreement--
a dead lock. Unless the two houses
can appoint a committee of conference
who will agree on a bill satisfactory
to both branches and to both parties,
there will he an indefinite extension of
the session or au adjournment without
any apportionment being made this
year. The Democrats in the Senate
and Douse will not allow themselves
to be brow beaten or frightened into
any measure not in strict accordance
with their principles and their duty , to
their constituents. They are detertn
fined to secure a lair apts,rttonment of
the Stale, tind on that line they will
light tt out if it take rill 1411,11111er.
Should the seamon be extended, the
COrlHeollierit eXpetiAe to the people will
be strictly chargeable to the Radicals.
They are so wrapped up in their desire
to nod«e their party pernianetly pre
dominant In the Legislature, that o%i
rehires to do their ditty. In such a
cat e, It ltehoos es the Deinocritts to look
we'll to die people'a interests, and they
are determined to do It y They propose
to "hew to the litre let the clitpei fall
where they limy."
Another Step Forward
President Grant has sent a message
to Congress, asking that extraordinary
power he granted him tor the ostensi•
ble purpose of enforcing the laws in
the {oath. thin iv a request, or ade
mand lather, whinh no former Prosi
dent has ever•w4hed or dared to make.
As If by way .of excuse, lie proposes
that Congress pass such a law as will
expire With his own term of otlice—in
short, until it he Ail:bled whether by
this ineatts he shall be again elected as
Chief Mlierrite.
When •'eonsidered that by the
force of relent amendments to the coa l
stitntion; by unjust and revOltitionary
reeonstruetiort laws, and oven by tire
power oldie bayonet which he again
invokes, nearly every Southern State
ix ruled. by LegislatOres and Governors
who are enbserviece. to Gen. Grant's
will, thiS demand looks even still
stranger. A Wire' prOvisiois of the oon•
stitution declares ,Presidipit
may not interfere with the internal
govertireulof a State, except by
rg
quest 0 the State Legislature, or dUr
ing its adjournment, of the Governor.
Yet the President thinks that• the ad-
"STATE RIGHTS "AND FEDERAL UNION."
BELLEFONTE, PA., FRIDAY, APRI L 7, 1871.
ditional power should be conferred
upon him to declare martial law and
bring firmed solMers into any State he
deaignatee ae deserving of chastise
ment.
Senator Sumr,er in his speech makes
the grave charge that President Grant
has been exercising, and in still exer
cining a kingly prerogative in declar
ing war is it Ii the island of linyti Yet
here is an attempt to exercise a mill
inore dangerous prerogative than Mr,
Sumner speaks of. For in the ram, of
Sun Domingo be simply threniens
sister republic; but when be atiempts
to carry the bayonet into a SO % ereign
State of the Union, without the con.
sent of the lawful authorities, he
threatens nt Mee to breah down the
very bulwark of our liberties, and to
do that which would cost any king or
England kin throne even to attempt.
We ask every fairmiinded Itepubli
can in the laird to think seriously of
theeathings; and consider if in this
tinie of peace, we are not standing on,
the very verge of a precipice, wheir
our President not only thinks so little
of the Constitution of our fathers, hut
counts the Congress of the United
States so truckling and subservient to
Vie will, ns to dare broach a project so
infamous as this—to have the power
conferred upon him of carrying civil
war wherever he chooses.

The "Independent ' on the President
In evidence that the Sumner-Grant
imbrolio is having its influence upon
thessituatton, we extract the following
from an article published in the lade
pfm4ept, the proprietor of which jour
nal is a known and warm friend of the
President :
A reaction from enthusiasm has fal
len on the administration. The glory
which Ulysses Grant (tore from the
battle-field has grown thin in the coun
cil chamber of the White. House
This was inevitable, and scarcely his
Wilt. It is the logical consequence of
temperament, training, and cireum
stances. Stripped of all military
glamor, what lie is? A kind hearted
man, who loves his wife and children,
and his own way. A man of common
intellect, striking everywhere against
limitations set by a narrow arc of
thought; of a clear but unexpanded
vision, seeing but one point, aiming at
that at all hazards, and generally
reaching it. lie is a soldier who has
attempted to make the discipline of the
army take the place of the statesman
ship in the most delicate decisions of
the Isiillest executive. With neither
the mind nor the training of a states
man, he simply fails to he a statesman.
Ile is a soldier; and if he had persis
tently remained one, his laurels would
not have faded. lie has not the brain
to compel fate, nor to create opportu
nity; but, both favorable to him, he
has the will and the perpeverance to,
reach the prize that they' proffer,
'Phis quality made hum successful in
war, above men as brave and greater
than himself.
Exceptionally poor and unsuccesstid
as a man, till war lifted him to pros
perity, men who have amassed for
tones through the facilities which
make money have a powerful fascina
Lion for him. Thus men famous for
wealth alone, unintellectual men, with
out knowledge of diplomacy or state
craft, arc the Most intimate friends ot
the president, have it powerful inftu
ence over him, and have probably had
more power in his administration than
such men have ever hail in any other.
While it is a fact that the men in con
green who are the confidential advisers
of the president, •vith, perhaps a single
exception, are not the men of the high
est statesmanship, purity, or honor—
not the men above reproach, either in
the senate or house Not that any
one accuses the president of their vices;
hut, like all mien of stubbeirii pretudi
ces intense will, and common intellect.
lie instinctively dislikes his intellectual
superiors, and finds it much more en
joyable in the administration of gov
ernment to execute military disc, line
than to take political advice. A nor
cessfol general, he wan never en great
as his AIICCOSSCH made him seem ; an
unsatisfactory executive, lie is yet an
abler man than his actions often make
-.him appear. lie only affords another
proof that a trained soldier, true to hie
antecedents, it no more, is not a states
man, nail by no opportunity of power
can he be transformed into one,
AY INSTRUI. rvu SIIEHR.—As Sena•
for Sumner was emerging from the
capitol the other morning he was con
fronted by an aged Fifteenth mend
ment, who, hat in hand, and bowing
and scalping mem/Irked:
"I tielicve dia Miteita. Sumner ?"
"No! sir—them are no mastere ui
this hind, I am Senator Sumner.'
Thai nearly equelehed the old dar
key, hot he rallied with the remark,
"You'et ilone a heap for de culler'd
race
"I am proud to hear volt say so,"
responded the inagnittcent Chanties
' De niggers all speak of you in Ile

Sumner bowed and smiled his act
knowledgenivilta.
"What I was coming at, ItoPo, ie dal
de winter's hard and de times pretty
rough to de old woman and 1, and if
you could spare do old darkay half a

Sumner ntopped no farther, but with .

something about "don't appear to keer
