FIHIUY M0HN1M1, Al'KIIi 28, 1871.
Attention Is called to tlio address
of tho Democratic Congressmen on tlio
first pago. It Is n formal Inillctmcnt of
tho President nnd Radical mnjorlty In
Congress and ought to bo road by every,
body.
Tho Apportionment.
After a protracted strugglo In tho
Legislature tho bill apportioning Sena
tors and Representatives for tho next
soven years to tho sovoral parts of tho
Stato, passed Anally on Saturday of Inst
week. Thcro Is no causo for particular
satisfaction over tho result, as tho hill
was framed to glvo tho Republicans six
mnjorlty In tho llouso or Representa
tives and also ono majority in tho Sen
nto nftcr tho present terms of Senators
Bhall runout. But our own Senatorial
and Representative districts aro unob
Jectlonablo. Lycoming, Montour, Co-
lumbla and Sullivan form tho Senator
lal district, whllo Columbia alono is
constituted a Representative district,
Lycoming, Sullivan and Clinton aro
mado a Representative district witti
two members, and Montour ana isor
thumbcrland aro also united as a dls
tilct for two members.
Luzerne, Monroo and Plko aro mado
a Senatorial district with two Senators,
ono to bo elected next fall and ono in
1S72. Luzcrno Is to have four Rcpre
scntatlves only, althougn her reported
taxablo population would cntltlo her to
flvo. Ropresontatlvo districts in Phlla
dclphla aro so formed as to glvo tho
Republicans twolvo Representatives
from that city and tho Democrats only
six, although parties thero aro nearly
equally divided I
Gross InJustlco is dono tho eastern
part of tho Stato to favor tho western
nnd somo localities aro treated outra
geously. Tho county of Washington
although Itself Republican, has been
attached to Beaver and Butler for both
Senator and Representatives, lest it
mlcht send Col. Hopkins to cither
llouso ! Tho district has four members
whereas Washington should havo two
and Beaver and Butler each ono.
Little Bulllvan escapes with her hldo
on, being under tho protecting wing of
Columbia in thoScnatorlal district, and
added to Clinton nnd Lycoming for two
representatives, although tho latter
counties had taxables enough to cntltlo
them to two members themselves.
Wyoming is attached to Bradford,
for both Senator and Reprcsenta
tlvos, and its democratic majority will
no moro bo represented in tho Stato
government than it will bo in that
of Kamschatka I
Perry is in tho samo predicament,
being attached to Dauphin, with thrco
members, instead of giving Perry ono
and Dauphin two. This was dono
merely, vo supposo, to glvo Gen. Cam
eron thrco personal Representatives
instead of two I
With less of factious selfishness on
the part of a singleDemocratic Senator,
a much better bill might havo been ob
tained. Howover, wo havo to congratu
late ourselves that tho bill is not quito
as bad as tho last ono not quite, Just
that and nothing moro I
When in lull operation, tho Legisla
ture under this bill will stand politically
as follows :
tanco of theso with each other and of
similar nationalities, and modes of life
and of thought. In nny caso It Is best
to adhero to slnglo districts, ovon If
populations cannot bo proportionally
divided.
Whllo tho bill Is net a good ono It Is
yet not very bad, and Is a rcspcctnblo
Improvement upon tho Infamous net or
1601.
A ltAdlcal Victory.
Tho Radicals havo carried tho elec
tion In tho district of Columbia, now
organized as a territory ,and mako great
rejoicing thereat. What thcro Is to
crow about wo can not discern. Tho
government officials afld negroes of tho
district themselves mako up a majority
of tlio voters. Circulars wcro issued by
tho heads of tho various bureaus requlr-
lng tliolr subordinates to voto (though
at tho annual elections they aro all sont
homo to their States to voto) and tlio
negroes polled moro votes than tho cen
sus gives of malo negro residents over 21
yearsoldl Tho district Issurroundedby
a largo negro population, ami becauso of
their everlasting sameness of counten
anco nnd personal appearance, It Is Im
possible for election officers to distin
guish them. A Radical victory under
such circumstances Is not n thing to bo
wondered nt or crowed about It Is ns
natural as rolling off a log.
Tlio European Xcws.
Tho French nrostill killing each other
off around Paris with as much Industry
as circumstances Will permit. Tho ad
vantage seems to bo with tho govern
ment troops, but as yet, without decided
results. Marshal McMaiion has no
complished nil that can bo attained by
arms without storming tho works of
tho Commune, and President Thiers
refuses his assent to this, relylug upon
tho process of starvation to accomplish
his end.
An Australian Steamer, with a largo
number of passengers on board, Is sup
posed to havo been lost at sea.

SNonnERY. Tho head of tho British
Commissioners, tho Earl of Grey, ro
cently gavo an entertainment at Wash
Ington at which all tho ilunkoydom of
that city wcro present. Tlio latter are
in high glee, almost bursting with tho
honor of being dined by a British sprig
of nobility I Of courso they till tho city
papers with descriptions and declaro it
to havo been tho grandest affair of the
kind that was ever had at Washington
It may provoa premonitory symptom
of thof.ct that tho British havo tho
best of the bargain In tlio recent nego
tiations. Tlio eldest son of tho Czar of Russia
aud heir to tho throne, Isnbout visiting
America. An American fleet, comman
ded by Admiral Porter, is to meet
him on tho Ocean and escort him to our
shores. Of courso this will glvo tho
snobs ono of tho grandest of opportuni
ties to show their admiration for titled
aristocrats and for servility.
When tho Prince of Wales visited
Harrisburg, his keeper, tho Duko of
Now Castlo ( a halo and Jolly looking
Englishman) coolly surveyed tho crowd
that was gazing with tho utmost admir
ation upon tho English group, ami quiet
ly remarked, "theso people nro not half
so democratic as they protend to bo."
That our fashionablo pcoplo nro flunk
eys, snobs and wouul-bo-arlstocrats is
tho Impression universally acquired by
distinguished foreigners who visit tho
United States. Nor Is this strange, for
that is tho only class that run after
them and tho only ones thoy see.

The Scranton liepublican complains
that its party friends in tho Leglslnturo
havo treated tho Radicals of Luzcrno
with contempt. Very true,and very just!
Thoy rendered themselves contemptible
last fall in resorting to tho means thoy
did to succeed. Despcrato and vllo actors
cannot bo trusted oven by thoso who
are benefitted by their reprehenslblo
conduct. A party that for partisan
reasons would stoop to defeat such an
eminent Jurist as Geo. W. Woodward
for Judgo of tho Courts, by resorting to
tlio most Infamous means that Ingenuity
and depravity could Invent, and with
a candldato who himself resorted to tho
most groveling and disgraceful prac
tlces to obtain votes, deserves and can
rcceivo nothing but contempt oven
from its associates. Evidently tho Rc
publican members of the' Legislature
had a lively appreciation of tho merits
of their brethren of Luzerne, and havo
rewarded them strictly according to
their deserts 1 The Scranton liepublican
has a Just appreciation of tho standing
of tho Radicals of Luzcrno amongst Us
party friends clsowhero.
By tho foregoing figures, which wo
tako from tho Legislative Record, every
reader can Judgo for himself how fairly
tho apportionment' has been made. Of
course thero must bo somo disparity
between extreme districts. That Is a
result that no bill could avoid, for coun
ties can not bo divided and It would bo
very objectionable to do so oven If allow
ed by the Constitution. We think tho
Legislature did not pay sufficient atten
tion to tho representation of territory,
as well as population. That Idea per
vaded tho Constitution of 1700 (tho bost
for tho tliuo wo over had) but of lato
years tho demagogulcal spirit has pro
vailed over It. Thus, six or eight mem
bers can represent tho intorests of a
denso population liko Philadelphia
much moro effectually than tho samo
number can represent the diversified
interests arid local wants of IS to 20
counties spreading over ono-fourth (ho
area of tho Stato. In this respect tho
bill fails. All doublo districts aro ob
Jectlonablo also, and cannot bojustlfled,
except, perhaps, wherotho interests aro
identical, tho business pursuits of tho
pcoplo Intermingled, a general ncquidn
A Hoax. On tho first of April, thero
appeared in tho Macon (Georgia) Tele
graph, a full and particular account of
tho solzureof a prominent Radical, near
that city, by a band of masked Ku
Klux : of his being lbyod alive, and,
finally, skinned and roasted whole at
tho Btakc. Tho very extravaganco of
tho particulars, tho nnmo of tho pre
tended victim Adam Hokes and tho
clrcurastauco that tho narrative appear
ed on tho first day of April, should
havo been sufficient, with any sensible
reader, to stamp tho story as a burlesque
of tho broadest and most transparent
character. But tho bait was greedily
swallowed by tho Radical papers In
tho North, which printed It with all
tho prominonco of display heads, and
called upon Congress to enact tho Ku-
Klux bill without dolay, to prevent a
general roasting of tho peoplo in tho
South. This Is a fair specimen of tho
manner In which Radical Journals act
in relation to matters In tho South, and,
worso than this, legislation Is based upon
such mlsorablo, stupid appeals to pas
sion and prejudice, ullko damaging to
tho nation, and Injurious to tho Inter,
csts of tho pcoplo, North and South.
Tlio Conl Troubles
Tlio miners and operators having ap
pointed n board of arbitration, compos
ed of twelvo person, six selected by
each Interest, tho board met and pro
coo led with tlio business for which they
wcro appointed. Hon. Wm. Elwell,
of Bloomsburg, was unanimously elect
ed umpire, whoso decisions wcro to bo
final. A sot of propositions were pre
sented and referred to tho umpire, who
promptly gavo tho following decisions
on tho sovoral points presented, viz:
First The right of nn owncror Iosseo
and operators of a colliery to thoctitl.a
and exclusive control ami management
of his works Is guaranteed to him by
tho law, of tho land, and Is of such nn
unquostlonablo character that it ought
not to bo Interfered with cither directly
or Indirectly.
Second Tho uniplro concurs with,
and adopts as a correct statement of tho
law that part of tho lato proclamation
of tlio executive of this commonwealth)
When ho says that It lsunlawfulfor any
persons or association of porsons, by vi
olence, threats or other cocrslvo moans,
to prevent any laborers or miners from
working when they please, for whom
they please, and nt such wages ns they
please, and nllko unlawful by such vio
lence or threats to deter or provent tho
owners or operators of mines from cm
ploying whomsoever thoy may chooso
to employ, and ntsuch wages as may bo
agreed upsn between tho employers
and tho persons employed.
Third It Is tho undoubted right of
men to refuse to workexcept upon such
terms ns shall bo agreeable to them, but
a general understanding that no person
of a particular association of laborers
shall work for any operator who has In
his emplov a member of such associa
tion who has not paid his dues to tho
association, or who docs not belong to
such association. Is contrary to tlio pol
icy of tho law, and subversive of tho
best Interests of tho miners nnd their
employers. An association may Inflict
lines upon its members for broach of Us
by-laws nnd expel for non-payment,
but It lias no right by combined action
to plnco tho defaulter In tho light of nn
outlaw In tho transaction of business
with others.
Fourth Tho umplro decides that It Is
contrary to tho spirit of tlio law, as
stated secondly above, for a body of men
to ogreo not to work becauso tliolr em
ployer refuses to employ a particular
person, or becauso he lias discharged
such person. If such a caso nrUoswhero
tho act of tho operator Is deemed to bo
oppressive, and ho refuses to redress
tho wrong, It is n proper ono for local
arbitration, by which, In most cases,
tho difficulty could bo properly settled
without tho disastrous consequences
arising both to employers and employed
by a strlko oven at ono colliery.
Fifth As persons of sound mind and
competent ngo aro permitted by law to
nargaiu ior tucmseives, men uuuuatia
In regard to labor at tho mines should
bo held ns sacred ns other contracts, and
should not bo annulled or set asltlo In
any manner different from that pro
vided for other cases. Interference by
persons not parties to tho contract Is not
to bo tolerated.
blxth Operators ought not In an uny
manner tocomblno against persons who
belong to tlio Winers' and Laborers'
Benevolent Association Any operator
who refuses to employ a perron becauso
no is so connected, or wno snail uis
chargohlm for that reason, would there-
for other members to refuse to work for
him.
Seventh No member of tho Miners'
nnd Laborers' Benovolcnt Association
ought to bo deprived of work becauso
of his being selected by his branch to
perform tho duties mentioned In section
2. articlo 10. of tho bv-lnws of that as
sociation, if his duties aro performed in
tlio manner therein mcutioncu.
Eighth In regard to tho right claim
ed by tlio miners to ccaso work when
they see cause, whether in u body or
otherwise, it is imnoSslblo to lav down
nuyrulo, and I am notawaro that it is
expected of mo to do so. But I may bo
allowed to recommend that alter re
sumption again takes place, nnd busi
ness is airaiu movinc in its accustomed
channels, Immediate steps bo taken to
provuio lor tlio adjustment oi (iimcut
ties, If any Bhall ariiQ in future, beforo
t hev reacu tlio disastrous proportions oi
thoso which now nllllct not only the
laborers aud operators, but tlio whole
pnnntrv.
jNinth w turnover it is siateu in uiu
fnrrirnlnrr rnnnrt that an act is unlawful.
U iwntmrAhla or nusrlitlnot to be. it is to
be understood in tho samo manner as n
t in limn ro had awarded that SUCH act
shall not bo dono nor allowed by cither
of tho parties represented in tins nroi
t ration.
Upon this opinion being read, tho
board adjourned to meet at tho call of
tho President. No agreement was el-
fectcd. It Is probable now that local
arbitration will bo resorted to nnd prove
Directive. Tho miners In several locali
ties havo come to an understanding with
their employers and havogonoto work.
Tho foregoing opinion of Judgo El
well is concise and to tho point. Ho
lias plainly stated tho law applicable to
tho caso. Whether tho law bo rlgjit or
wrong was not his provlneo to decide.
Ills business was to stato what tho law
is, and this ho has dono In such explicit
terms that no ono can fall to understand
it. That ho is right in his interpetra-
tion of tho law will not bo questioned
by any impartial lawyer of standing
and character.
For tho ako of all tho Interests con
cerned, Immediately and relatively, it
is to bo honed that a perfect agreement
may boon bo arrived nt and operations
fully resumed.

Specimen llcoiioniv.
Thcro Is no tlicmo so fruitful In solf
glorification for tlio Radicat press ns that
of tho reduction of expenses in tho ltd.
ministration of public nfTalrs. Ono
would supposo after reading theso effu
sions that Grant's administration was
really n model of economy and retrench
ment. But when tho matter Is exam
ined critically It Is found to bo nothing
moro than electioneering bosh. Tho
actual stato of tho cso Is about this:
Tho expenses of Congress during tho
past year nro moro than ono million dol
lar In excessof what thoy wcro during
cither of tho two previous years,
It cost two hundred nnd sorenty-two
thousand dollars moro to collect tho
revenues from customs, than it did last

Tho miscellaneous expenses, which
Includoj buildings, havo increased ono
million of dollars.
Tho expenses of tho United Slates
Courts nro ono million threo hundred
thousand dollars in excess of what thoy
were during tho fiscal year of 1807-8,
Thcro has been nn ndvanco of eight
hundred thousand dollars In tho expen
ses of tho Interior Department under
tho reformer Delano.
Tho lucrcaso In tho 1'cn.slon Bureau
amounts in round numbers to eleven

Tho Postoftlco Department costs eight

Tho Into Imbroglio of tho Republican
party has Inspired tho Democratic party
with unusual hopes of success.
Tho candidates of tho Democratic
parly for tho next Presidency aro very
fully and freely discussed by everybody.
Tho elecllon Is certain, If tho candldato
Is unexceptional. Tho Western pcoplo
naturally dcslro n Western candldato,
or rather n candldato from tlio Mississ

tho central portion of tho Confederacy,
Among tho men spoken of nro tho fol

Thoso who do not favor his nomina

Thero Is a fictitious claim set up, which
by comparison with tho expenses for
tho samo Item during the last two years
of President Johnson's term, It is
sought to turn into political capital. Wo
refer to tho expenses of tho army and
navy. By comparison it will bo seen
that tho aggregate expenses of thb army
aro ono hundred and twenty-flvo mil
lions less, than thoy wero during either
of tho last two years of JoiinsonM ad
ministration. But thero Is no actual
saving of expenses in this. Tho army
has simply been reduced. During John
soN'a term tho Radical Congress was
repeatedly asked to rcduco tho military
and naval forces but it was refused, con
sequently, whllo tho standing army was
Inrge, It necessitated n largo expends
turo of money. But by comparison It
Is found that it costs a large per cent,
moro now to subsist and pay a thousi

did In 18078, so that thero has been
no reduction in expenses, but In the

hundrod million dollars of debts con

General Blair's letter to Colonel
Broadhcad was certaluly tho clearest
and mcst direct exposition of the con
stitutional doctrine of restoration pro-
entcd to tho Now York Convention,
mid commanded tho approval of every
fear!- ss Domocrat in tho country. Thoso
who do not favor the nomination of
General Blair, urge his great capacity
for his present position which could
scarcely bo so well filled. Others have
scarcely forgotten his erratic career,
nnterlor to and during tho war. Yet no
man would moro generally command
the strength of tho Democratic party In
tho Immedlato Mississippi Valley than
General Blair.
Augustus Cicsai' Dodgo Is freely spok
en of among his friends. He still main
tains his popularity for integrity aud
purity of character.
Tho cholco of thu Democratic party of
tlio trans-Mlsslsslppt Valley Is Georgo
II. Pendlclon, of Ohio. Thoso wlloso
first choice ho is not, concede that.ho is
a man whoso character, deportment and
bearing, is tho very highest typo of the
American Christian gentleman
That ho is a scholar, whoso cultivated
ta3tcs command universal admiration ;
a jurist of profound legal erudition ami
a statesman whoso opinions nro respec
ted by his opponents ; that ho Is popn
lar among his neighbors, nnd respected
everywhere.
Tho friends of Mr. Pendleton claim
for lilm n popular strength enjoyed by
no other statesman In tho Mississippi
Valley ; but they urgo that his unchang
ed opinion? represent tho wants of tho
country and tho wishes of tho pcoplo;
that tho views held by lilm nro tho
issticb now beforo tho country, which
necessity and gocd government havo
forced upon tho people.
Whllo tho Democratic party will
yield to tho selection .or tho National
Convention, Mr. Pendleton will bo
urged for tho nomination by tlio mil
lions who bellevo n return to tho Gov
ernment of our Fathers alono can savo
us from tho dangers of anarchy on tho
ono hand or monarchy upon tho other.
Nover has thero been so much smother

poso of testing tho right of Congress to
donate public lands to rnllroaus. 'nicy
deny that nny such right has been con
ferred upon the Federal Congress. Tho
most effectual way in widen tlio worit
iiigmen of tho country can put nn end
to legislation which Is putting tho lands
that belong to the peoplo In tho hands
of speculators and monopolists, Is to
put nn end to tho party which passes
such laws.
Jr.(ito Jurors. Chief .Tustieo Ma
son, of Nebraska, has delivered an opin
ion against negroes sitting ns jurors in
tlrnt State. Tho prlnclplo point mado
is that tho fourteenth nnd ilftccnth
amendments grant rights to negroes,
but imposo no duties upon them, and
that Jury tervlco is n burden and not n
privilege, that thu Stato constitution
can bo changed only by tlio samo pow
er that enacted it, and that Congress
could not confer such authority to
change upon tlio legislature.
