The Apportionment.
The late Pemocratic apportionment
bill, framed in the State Senate and passed
hv that, body, demonstrates to a certain
ty that the talk of the Democracy about
a .ir re-distrirtinj of the State was talk
done for capital fur that party and noth
ing more. The bill as it stands gives
the State l-epislature over to the Democ
racy completely. Of course the Lower
llotit-e will not endorse the action of the
Senate on this question. It is said that
the Motive will be just as unfair in its
demands as has been the Senate. It
fhould not be go, and doubtless will not.
It is believed that the Republicans have
a majority in the State, and certainly this
fact eliou d enter into consideration when
an apportionment Dili is tramea. win
jiosed as the Legislature is. one branch
Kemncratic and the other Republican, it
is fil!y for either party to think or cher
ish the belief that the State can be re
stricted largely in the interest of either
if the jarties. It is a constitutional re
quirement that the State fhall be re-districted
by the present Legislature, and it
is a question for the Republicans of the
Legislature to understand how nearly the
Republican party will permit its mem
bers of the Legislature to countenance
measures on their part that will result in
the violation of this requirement. The
Republican party will sustain its mem
bers in a fair bill that will show to all
that the party is what it professes to be,
the party of fair dealing, moderation and
justice.
.New Hampshire.
The election in this State, that since
lS.IG has stood firmly by the Republican
party, last week exhibited weakness in
the cause. The elnction for State officers
is close and will require an official count
of the votes to determine definitely who
is the victor. The indications, however,
are in favor of the Democrats. Two
Democratic Congressmen have been elec
ted. We do not believe that this elec
tion is the "handwriting upon the wall,
that means the overthrow and division of j
the Republican party ; but it does tell
forcibly that the onetr.y is at the outer
gates, and the party that saved free gov-
eminent irom uesirucuon, out wnicu is ,
drunk with jealousy, nud is rioting in !
pioFcription, must sober up, or the cne-
nw-tl,P D. mnciav will entnr the nmn i

and sack it. The party will staud a
great deal, but it will not be abused.
Colonization.
The Oregon and California Railroad
Company has completed arrangements
for the settlement on the lands of the
"Company of fifty thousand German emi
grants. These people are to work for
the Company. Through our source of
information we have not been informed of
the particulars of the contract betweeu
the colonists and the Company. This
much is however known, that they will
be landed in Oregon for seventy dollars.

The Coal Troubles.
The coal trouble, iustead of showing
signs of abatement, indicates a wider
spread of trouble. On last Friday, the
17th. delegates from the anthracite and
" ...
ml uiii iiiua luai nuncio iainin iui j
the first time met, at Johnstown, Cam
bria county, and effected a junction, and
elected officers from both sections. A sus
pension of miners in the bituminous re
gion is looked for.
France.
Since the German troop? have been
withdrawn from Paris dangers have
thickened and troubles multiplied. Faris
is in open revolt against the government
of France. Great disorder prevails in
Paris. A committee, called the National
Onards' Committee, govern with a high
liand. Three Generals were shot by
order of the Committee. If matters are
not settled speedily, France will soon be
engaged in fighting France.
A colony was located on the 15th
inst., at the town of Evans, Colorado,
fifty miles north of Denver, and four
miles south of Greeley, where they have
control of 40,000 acres of land. Evans is
on tbe South Tlatte river, and already
has 300 inhabitants, A Boston colony
lias joined them.
On last Thursday, the lGth inst , Gov.
Ccary received a petition signed by sev
eral thousand citizens of Cumberland
county, praying for the pardon of Dr.
Fchoeppe.
A Despatch from South Carolina says
The greater portion of the United States

Alaska.
Russia did well when she sold her
North American possession to the Uuited
States, bat the Uuited States did not do
well when it bought that laud of fogs,
wild Indians, half civilized Ruesians aud
unfruitful Boil. We never liked that
country since a geographer, during our
boyhood days, described it to us in the
school-room. Since then we have read
nothing that has cbauged our mind in
regard to it. The following extracts
from reports on the "condition of Alaska,"
sent by the Secretary of War to Con
gress recently, certainly does not do bo.
Is San Domingo a humbug, too J is
I the question asked just now. liat we
do uot here wish to drag that island into
view. We leave it and go to the report
of Alaska. In the report of the Secre
tary of War Major Ludington rpcaks
j of the resources of the country, aud
says :
They consist almost entirely of three
articles fur, fish, aud lumber. The form
er is by tar the most important, and furs
are on'y oblaiued by trading with In
dian?. The supply of fish is unlimited,
aud companies have established depots
at several places, where fi h are cured
and packed. Indians do the work
Timber is valuable, but so (ar from mark
et as not to be available.
The agricultural resources are very
scant ; with great cate a few potatoes,
turnips, and radishes have been grown.
It is said there are places in the interior
where grain can be raised, but this is not
i a. i ... r J
certainly known. Settlements are few and
distant from each other. There are no
roads and no available military resources.
Major Ludington enumerates various
tribes of Iuduns, his list differing iu
some respects from that obtained by Vin
cent Colyer during his tour. Most of
these tribes are friendly, and some are
partly civilized. They subsist on the
profits of the chase. Citizens at Sitka
are now on comparatively friendly rela
tions with the military. They are des
cribed as a low class of serfs of most cor
rupt moral character. The trouble for
merly existing was caused by the em
ploy ineut of citizen interpreters who
were personally interested in making un
fair representations.
The women are represented to be de
graded bv vice, and the presence of sol
diers tends to the further degradation of j
both sexes. The priests of the (Jretk
Church do not do much for the elevation
of the people, as they are not above ap
pearing in public grossly intoxicated.
The Russian inhabitants are anxious to
be transported to some portion of the
Czar's dominions, and Major Luding
ton thinks it would be better for all par
ties if they were sent away.
Salmon is the principal fish taken, and
of these 1,100 barrels were taken with
net around Sitka Hay last year, and 7 (JO
barrels around I'rince of Wales' Island.
Arrangements have been made to take
2.000 barrels in the latter vicinity next
year. Th fish is worth S3 per barrel,
or S14,4!.!0 for the year's work. In ad
dition to this the fisheries yield 4,000
gallons of seal and dogfish oil, worth
-,400. The salmon fisheries are inex
haustible. The fur trade has decreased every year
since the United States occupation.
During the first year of American rule
this trade amounted to $35,0U0 ; during
the second. S25.000 : aud last year less
j than $2 .1,000. The cause of this decline
is the better prices which the Hudson
Ray Company pay the Iudians for skins.
There arc but two kinds of timber in the :
Territory, spruce and 3'ellow cedar ; the
r .,.. J .. , ' i
torm r is inferior in quality to that of
Washington and Ore-on. The vellow
cedar is valuable to make chests, bureaus,
&c, as it possesses qualities destructive

Corn will not grow at all. The potatoes
are too watery for table use, but a few

cauliflowers, as well as onions, grow but

made profitable. The number of Ameri
cans and Europeans in Sitka more than
half of all the number are in Alaska is

ritory is estimated at about S.300 The
Indians are described as of the most de

Failure of the ''King" of Farmers.
Chicago, March 16 The Prairie
Farmer is informed that John P. Alex
ander, the king of live stock men in the
United States, has made an assignment
of his property for the benefit of his
creditors. His liabilities are stated at
Sl.OOU.OUU, wbiie tiis assets toot np
from 8100,000 to $200,000 more than
that. Mr Alexander's residence is in
Morgan county, in this State, where he
owus an immense stock farm. Two or
three years since he bought the celebrat
ed Sullivan farm, knowu as "Broadland,"
in Douglas county, containing 27,000
acres. It was reported a short time
that he had sold Broadlands for $000,
000, but for some cause the sale was not
consummated. This is probably the hea
viest failure of an agricultural man yet
recorded in the history of the United
States

An unbounded confidence in human
nature however commendable it may be
is not always rewarded as it should be.
Sometimes the unfortunate possessor of
this confiding disposition passes through
an experience which has the direct ten
dency ever afterwards to drive him to the
opposite extreme. Possibly Mr. John
Marshall, who had a little adventure of
this character the other day, will be able
to understand this matter now belter than
he ever did heretofore. '
Mr. Marshall is from Ilanover, Colum
biana county, Ohio. He is an aged gen
tleman and engaged as a stock dealer.
A few days ago he came to Alleghany
with a cargo of swine, which he disposed
of, and yesterday had the money SG00, in
his pocket when lie started for the depot to
take the train for home. . At the Federal
street station he was sauntering about
waiting for the trainband congratulating
himself on the success of his trip, when
a gentlemanly stranger approached and
then began the old game. The stranger
Mr. Morgan, was neat in dress and affable
in conversation. Moreover he was inti
mately accquainted with Mr. Marshall's
friends in Hanover and altogether was
exceedingly agreeable. The twain start
ed out for a drink, when Mr. Morgan was
interviewed by another stranger, who

Mr. Morgan hadn't the cash, but was a
walking depository of U.S. Bonds. The
display bo overcame Mr. Marshall that
he, with small solicitation, loaned the
amount 'just for a short time,'" while
Morgan and his friend went to the hank
to get one of the bonds cashed Marshall
in the mean time being kindly requested
by the affectionate Morgan to go to the
depot and take charge of bis ( Morgan's)
wife and child until he returned.
' Marshall returned to the depot, but of
all the females and childreu there, could
find none answering to the name of Mor
gan. He meandered about for an hour
until the two o'clock train started, and
theu concluded to tell his story to the
Mayor. Rut Morgan hag not been
fonnd, and Mr. Marshall takes less stock
in "gentlemanly talkers. PitUlurg Ga

The Pacific Railroad and the Buffalo.
Time's wonderful changes never receiv
ed a more marked illustration than by
the introduction of a bill in the House of
Representatives prohibiting the indis
criminate slaughterer of bufTiloes along
the line of the Pacific Railroad, and pro
viding tor the perservation of the bison,
which, under the present system of wan
ton destruction, would soon be extermin
ed. The author of this game preserving
article, Mr. McCormick, of Arizona, in
formed the House that, in passing over
the Kansas Pacific Railroad last winter,
a train was snowed in, aud for ten days
the only food of about one hundred pas
sengers was buffalo meat, and had this
not been at hand they must all have
starved. It is in view of the probable
recurrence of cirennntannM of ihe same

character for years to come that, as a

When the idea of a Pacific Railroad was
first broached in Congress a quarter of a
century ago. the opponeMs of the ''im
provement" insisted that no railroad cnuld
'ever be maintained on the plains for a
single week, because of the herbs of

it is deemed necessary to protect the
buffalo that he may serve as food to the
passengers crossing the continent over
the very road that his vast and roaming
herbs were to render an impossibility.

Blown Out. The Montour (Dan
ville) American says : Seven of the eight
blast furnaces of this place have blown
out, partially in consequence of the scarci
ty of coal caused by the miners' suspension
and partially in consequence of needed
repairs to the furnaces. The probabilities
are that other manufacturing inter
ests of our town will be obliged to cease
operation unless a speedy settlement is
made of the coal difficulty. Should the
most gloomy prospects become facts,
thousands of men will be thrown out of
employment. Even against all indicatons
we shall hope for the best solution to the
difficulty. Let the laboring men keep per

Letter from Ber. D. 3. Beale.
St. Geokoe, Del., March 15, 1871.
Ma. Editor : Please find .enclosed
ray subscription money for the car
rent year. I value the papers of my na
ttve couuty more and more. They re
the first of all my mail that I peruse.
I have never known so many disasters
and sudden deaths before, as are now oc
curring around us. On the Monday that
my lovely little consin, John Laird, of
Patterson, was so suddenly killed, one of
our finest young men, a drnggist, went
out gunning with a few other young men,
and was shot accidentally by a comrade.
He bled to death. Humanly speaking
there was no need of Lis dying from the
wound, which was in the leg, just back
of and above the knee. Had the young
men (or boys, rather, for none of them
were over 20 years of age,) at once tied
a handkerchief or cord around the limb,
above the wound, and patting the ram
rod into the knot, screwed it very tightly,
they might surely hare stopped the flow
of blood ; or, had they taken np the ar
tery (for there is hut one above the knee)
they might have tied it ; but they let the
poor man bleed to death without a well
directed effort to save him.
On the day after this melancholy oc
currence an auctioneer, out in the coun
try, was crying a sale, and there and then
had a paralytic stroke, occasioning death
in a few hours.
Two prominent citizens of this neigh
borhood, aged men, died the same week
from heart disease, .without twenty min
utes' illness iu either case.
On Sabbath a week ago I was called
upon to assist in funeral services on the
occasion of the burial of our Methodist
minister's only child. She had died sud
denly from that fearful disease, mem
branous croup. We laid little Annie
Thompson's mortal remains in the Mount
Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia. Bishop
Scott, who lives four miles from St
George, and two other ministers accom
panied the funeral party.
On Saturday last another of oar drug
gists, (son of the celebrated Bringhust,)
had one eye and part of his head blown
away by the bursting of an iron retort
which he was manipulating. His brain
can be seen. His recovery is very
donbtful.
The wife of one of our ruling elders
was buried on Thursday last. Thus you
see I have been brought to look upon
death of late in its most fearful forms. I
feel like one standing on the very verge
of eternity. I trust " familiar thoughts
will elope the way." Just here I think
of a striking expression an old lady, the
other day, told me her grandmother used
to employ : " Work as if you intended
to live forever, and pray as if you were
to die to-morrow."
'AH flesh i prass, and all its glory fates
Like the fair flower diaheTel'd in the wind ;
Kiches have winjrs, ana grandeur is a dream ;
The mnn we celebrate mist find tomS.
And we that worship him. ignoble gmves.
Nothing is proof agniast the general curse
Of vanity, that seiies all below.
The only amaranthine flower on earth is vir
tue. The only listing treasure, truth."
Perhaps nothing ttrikes the minister
of the Gospel more forcibly, as he stands
around so many death -beds, than the
truth that " the ruling passion is strong
in death." Delirious or rational, it will
crop out. The fast young man who
drove fast horses, imagining that he was
behind them in his carriage, with his
dying breath, uiged them onward. 1
heard bun. An aged Christian who died,
near by, some time ago, wa. in his last
moments, visited by an old friend and a
young minister. The old friend of a
quarter of a century asked him about his
health. The dying man made no reply.
The former asked him if he knew him.
(mentioning his own name). The sink
iug Christian's lips showed him to be in
prayer. I approached his bedside and
said, " Mr. Townsend, do you know the
Lord Jesus Christ ?" " Oh, yes, ob, yes
He is my only hope." In the weak
iiess and weariness of his crumbling tab
ernable the love of Christ constrained
him. It was a fitting close of life for one
who had so steadfastly been engaged in
the Master's work for more than half a
century.
It is said that the spirit of Napoleon
leaped from its prison-bound walls amid
one of the fiercest storms that ever rocked
his lonely isle. And it is said that his
delirious soul, in the last solemn hour.
seemed once more to be iu the midst of
the fight once more to be in the midst
of the roar and smoke and storm of bat
tie, struggling by the pyramids, or along
the Danube, or on the plains of Italy
His ruling passion was strong in bis last
convulsive throes, for his glazed eye
seemed to catch the head of his mighty
columns, as torn, yet steady, they bore t
!ns victorious eagles on ; and " Tete d"
armee " (" Head of the army ") broke
from his dying lips.
I remain yours truly.
