Difficulty of Apportionment. The Legislature in attempting te make a senatorial apportionment finds a great deal of difficulty in doing se in con fermity te the constitution, which re quires fifty districts te be formed, and directs the ratio te be ascertained by di Tiding the whole population of the state by fifty; while at the same time it de clares that " no city or county shall be entitledte separate representation exceed ing one-sixth the whole number of sena tors." Philadelphia has a population greater than eight ratios, yet can only have eight senators, at least as a "separ ate representation." There may be something in this phrase, "separate re presentation," which would enable the Legislature te join a part of the city pep -,ulatien with that of another county , but then it would have te be an adjoin ing county, since the constitution re quires " districts of compact and con , tigueus territory." Seme part of Phila delphia's wasted population is consumed .by the constitutional prevision that a separate district may be made with four fifths of a ratio, and that additional sen aters may be assigned te counties that have a surplus of three-fifths of a ratio ; but stili there is trouble in working out fifty districts en a ratio obtained by di -Tiding the population of the state by fifty ; which difficulty the lower Heuse proposes te get ever by cutting off Phil adelphia and dividing the population of the rest of the state by forty-two te find the ratio. It is certainly true that this is net in accordance with the letter of the constitution ; but if that instrument cannot be literally followed, the Legis lature will have te use its intelligence in deciding upon the interpretation that sails closest te the intent of the instru ment. It is certainly very remarkable that in se maturely considered a paper as the constitution there should be any diffi culty such as this in its construction. It shows clearly enough that there was lacking in the membership of the con vention an element of pains-taking in telligence that should have secured te the examination of the language of the constitution the laborious scrutiny need led te perfect it. It is a matter of com mon notoriety that a majority of the members of the convention were very useless members of it ; and we new real ise that amene the intelligent and bril liant men in it there was still lacking the one acute and conscientious mind ,. that would have barred the adoption of r the paper until it perfectly expressed the meaning it was intended te have.

The Eeelish cotton trade in the last twelve years 1872 te 1882 has Increased 28 per cent, in yarns and 33 per cent, in piece goods, as te quantity ; but the in crease in value in piece goods has been only 3 per cent., while yarns have fallen off ten percent. A part of this is due tn a decrease of one-third in the value of the raw material, cotton ; but the real expla" nation seems te be first, in the wide reduc tion of price in the past decade whose industrial effects are net yet fully under stood, aud second in the large increase in manufacturers here, in Germany and in France. Step by step, England in this trade as in ethers is losing the supremacy given by her enormous start early in the century. The impressive ceremonies held ever the remains of J. Heward Payne in New Yerk yesterday are but a faint echo of the sentiment, which finds response in every heart, that pays tribute te a genieus of brilliant light, even though the tender solicitude of friendship came from few hearts in his life time and the strange vicissitudes through which he struggled ended in bitter disappointment and weari ness that we may new but inadequately appreciate. Mere acceptable and perhaps mere just would have been this homage te the poet and dramatist while he lived, but if a generous minded generation can atone for the forgetfulness of the past, the answer te his plaintive strains fraught with the burden of home joy and beauty may be found in a genuine popular ap preciation of the action of these who car ried out the plan te bring him te his native land.

Frem Texas reports are meagre, but these re ceived are geed. It is learned from ether sources that the condition is generally geed, with a fair prospect for a lull crop.

Kaeaway Merw Dash Along With ft Hearae and Splinter the Vehicle into Fragments. A peculiarly painful occurrence happen ed en the Seuth side at Pittsburgh, Fri day afternoon. A hearse was standing in front of an undertaker's establishment, in which the body of a man named Jehn P. Shmit had been placed for the purpose of being sent te the dead man's home. The horses attached te the hearse frightened at something and started down the street at a terrific pace, the vehicle rattling indec orously ever the rough pavements, with its contents bumping about in full view of persons upon the sidewalks, through the glass sides. The horses continued their career down the thoroughfare until Nineteenth street was reached. They at tempted te turn down that thoroughfare, but instead of clearing the corner they ran into the edge of the building strik ing the hearse violently against the bricks and breaking it in pieces. The coffin was thrown out upon the street and the lid being broken exposed the corpse te the gaze of the crowd which had been quickly collected by the accident. The horror of the affair was manifest te all, and the re mains were rearranged at once in the coffin and taken te a neighboring store, from which as seen as possible, they were removed te their destination. The horses broke away from the fragments of the hearse and continued their flight te the river, where they were finally halted. Sold His Bedy ler 25.

To-merrqw will be Easter Sunday, the festival of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or the Christian passever. It is the festi val upon which all ether movable feasts depend. After much discussion in the council of Nice (A. D. 325) a rule was adopted which makes Easter day te be always the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens upon or next after the 21st of March, and if a full moon happen en a Sunday, Easter day is the first Sunday after. By this arrangement Easter may come as early as March 22 or as late as April 25. This year the first full moon after the 21st of March was yesterday, March 23d, se that Easter this year occurs within one day as early as it is possible for it te occur. Seme one who has made an examination of the mat ter, states that no man living has seen Easter fall en the 25th of March. Its last recurrence en that day was in 1742. and for mere than two hundred years it has occurred but four times, namely : in 1GGS, 1G74, 1731 and 1742. Frem the earliest history of the church the day has been celebrated with great formality and devotion. The altars which have beeu stripped of their ornaments during Lent, are rehabilitated aud gor geously decorated, and the music, whieh has been sad and sembre, is succeeded by the liveliest and most triumphant strains. In Catholic and Episcopal churebes the services are mere elaborate than in any ethers, though the Lutheran, Reformed, Moravian and some ether denominations also celebrate the day with oensidorablo formality. In all ages the festival has been marked by many singular ceremonies, customs aud popular sports. Most of these have fallen into disuse in this country, except the religious observances in the churches, the feasting upon eggs at home, and the presentation te friends of prettily colored or elaborately engraved eggs. Childreu are provided with all the colored eggs they want, and amuse themselves by testing the strength of the shells by strik ing the smaller ends of the eggs together, it being a rule among the youngsters that the egg that is broken falls a prize te the one that breaks it. Besides the natural eggs that play such a prominent part in Easter feasting, the confectioners reap a rich harvest in the manufacture and sale of- candy eggs of various kinds and colors. Of late years, the rabbit appears as an innovation 1n the Easter customs, and te " bunny" is at tributed the laying of the many beautiful eggs which fill the nests that geed little boys and girls are ap". te find en Easter morning. Seme of these little rabbits are real works of art and leek very natural indeed In Lancaster county and in many ether sections of the country Easter Monday is celebrated as a holiday, though it fs net one of our " legal " holidays. The pub lic schools are closed, the churches are open, and when the weather is fine great crowds of country people, in holiday attire, come te town te have a geed time. Faster Day at St. James. The chancel of St. James te-morrow will be decked with a profusion of flowers. The first celebration will be at 8 a. m. At 10:30 the second service will open with a grand processional hymn by the large sur pliced choir of men aud boys, under direc tion of Prof. Matz.

J. T Satchell, appointed by the M. E. conference, lately held in this city, te the Duke street church, Lancaster, will take charge of the pastorate at once and will preach in that pulpit te morrow. Mr. S., by reason of his father's work there as a Wcsleyau missionary, was born in the West Indies. His after educatieu was at the Kingswood school, near Londen, and in the Richmond theologian seminary. He is about 35 years of age. He came te the United States upon the death of his father and by persuasion of his personal friends, the late Rev. Thes. Guard, of Baltimore, and Rev. Dr. Jas. Merrow, of Philadel phia, in 1873, and was that year admitted into the Philadelphia annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal chureh, where in be has served first as a supply for mis sion stations in the coal fields, and after ward at Frankford avenue, where he was the neighbor and intimate friend of Rev. J. Hepburn Hargis, and lastly at Fletcher church, in Hestenville, Philadelphia. Frem this church he comes te Lancaster, with the confidence in bis success of his minis terial brethren, and the warmest wel come of the Duke street congregation, te whom he has already preached the annual missionary sermen at the confer ence session. Rev. Mr. Satchell had been selected at a previous session for the mis sionary anniversary address, which was his first marked success en the platform in Pottsville. He is net accustomed te read bis ser mens and speaks with all the earnestness of moral conviction, and with the precis ion of speech that evidences clear intel lectuality and classic training. Among his most ardent admirers and chosen friends in his late charge, are Jehn Hun ter, esq., the Referm receiver of taxes in Philadelphia, and Mr. Jehn Field of the Committee of One Hundred. His services were sought after also for Norris town and the new chnrch in Tiega. Hely Saturday. Hely Saturday marks the close of the sorrowful scenes of Passion week, and a faint glimmering of the glories of the resurrection are already visible en the spiritural horizon. The services in the Catholic churches have special reference te the period during which the body of Christ remained in the sepulchre. On this day the altars are. again clothed with their ornaments,' and the New Fire, the Paschal Candle and the holy water font are blessed with appropriate ceremonies. At St. Mary's, St. Antheny's and St. Jeseph's Catholic churches the service commemorative of the occasion were at 9 a. m., and were largely attended. Increasing Freight Business.

He says that he struek the alarm from box 19 Centre Square aud then timed the fireaem ; the first apparatus ou the ground was truck A, which was mere than five min utes from the time of the striking of the alarm, and the next company did net ar rive for thirteen minutes. This story was written by a boy named W. A. Ranch, who was here as a hanger en of the "Amis. Girl " company. He was very fresh, and during the day made himself exceedingly numerous by presenting everybody whom he met with a gaily printed card coataiB ceataiB his name aud that of the.2fcrafcZ and ether volunteer flremau's papers. His story ht false and it was only written as a feeble) attempt te injure the department in the minds of vplunteer firemen. On that: night the truck was in Centre Square very shortly after the alarm, and it was quickly followed by the apparatus no. 3. laey were net ueeded however, as the men of engine Ne. 1 extinguished the fire with a line of hose in a few moments. Ranch was standing gaping areuud in the square at the time aud did net knew where the fire was until it was out. Mere About Uelllg. Dick Heilig, whose arrest yesterday afternoon was mentioned in yesterday's paper, and upon whose person nearly $50 in geld was found, was taken te jail last evening. A closer inspection of his person discovered that he had $124 mere concealed en his person, a portion of which was wrapped in the waistband of his pants and a portion in his stockings. He gave Officer Eichbeltz $40 in geld yes terday te take te his wife in Mount Jey. The officer found the peer woman in very destitute circumstances, living in a single room, with six small children te attend te. On his return the officer wanted Heilig te send her the balance of his money, but this he refused te de, saying he wanted some for the lawyers ! Besides the articles mentioned as having been found en him yesterday, he had a bunch of abeuv twenty keys of various sixes, bridle, bit anil rein, a bag of herse hair and some ether small matters. Heilig bears a very bad reputa tion iu Meun Jey and Marietta, where' he is regarded as a confirmed thief. SUKItIrFS SALK. Millinery Goods, c, Disposed Of. A let of goods which were seized at the Adam's express office as the property of Gottsehalk & Lederman, were sold at the sheriff's office this morning at 10 o'clock. They consisted of several boxes of straw hats, a let of men's neckties, some hat racks and three plaster busts, which axe used te advertise corsets. The sale was largely attended, especially by officers in the court house, newspaper men and ethers. The prices brought by the goods were very low, and hats sold as low as a cent a piece. The ether articles were dirt cheap, and lets of fun was created by the lively bidding. Among the heavy purchas ers were : Register Umble, Deputy Sher iffs Hippey and Strine, Cel. Price, Chief of Police Deiehler, Corener Shi Ser, Clerks Stener and Fasnacht, J. M. Johnsten and Auctioneer Hess. AH of these- parties have a full stock of straw hats which, in all probability, brought sueh low prices en account of the sudden change in the weather. Runaway Accidents. This morning between 10 and 11 o'clock a two-horse team belonging te a man named Stehman, living near Safe Harber took fright while tied in front of McGov McGev ern's tobacco warehouse, where a lead of tobacco had just been taken from the wagon, and ran off.
