We cannot believe thia to bo possible. It ia a robbery of the Wost and South. It is in tho teeth of tho former precedents of 1832 and 1852. It ia ridiculoun, too, this voting for President and Congressmen on the ?arno day, to take their souls at the same time, that the one should be elected nullor the old, and the other nndor the new law. The new apportionment, when signed by tho President, will be u law of tho land, and all elections after? wards must bo held nnder it, and not under thc old dead law it superseder.

GOVERNOR RBED'U IMPKACQUPKT. Speaking, editorially, of tho recent im? peachment of Governor Reed, of Flori? da, tho New York Evening Post of Sat? urday says: Mr. Harrison Recd will be remembered as one of the "loyul Governors" who traveled through tho Northern Stetes in 18G8, with reports of tho dreadful deeds of the Southern secessionists. Ho ap? peared upon ono ouca-ion nt a ratification meeting in Cooper Institute, und was greatly applauded for his patriotic senti? ments, llo proposed to restore Flotilla to a "proud position" in tho Union. Mr. Reed wus elected Governor that year. Not muny months nj'orwurds ru? mors of corruption begun to circulate in Florida. Moro tuan u your ugo au inci? dent happened which pointed to Go? vernor Reed moro directly as ono of a rapacious railroad riug which hud cou ueutious in several of the Soatheru States. North Carolina changed tho political character of its government, and tho thieves who had mudu their headquarters in R tleigh fled from that .State. Tb? leader among them was Mr. Milton S. Littlefield, who published tho Raleigh SUmdard in tho iutorest of the rings. Ho ran to Florida, whero ho bus since been protected by Governor Reed against every requisition or summons. Hu has boen plying his old vocation with equal success us in North Carolina. Ouo alter another the corrupt rings which have ruled tho Southern Stages -teem to be crumbling. When they are all broken pouce will return, and there will probably be no call for Ku Klux laws. Tbe ring Governors of North Car? olina and Georgia have already beon driven away by the force of public opin I ion, and the maladministration in South ! Carolina, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas must soon givu way before tho populur zeal for roiorm in those States. The assets of the Georgia National Bank on investigation are found to bu $13,u00iu c i"li, 8-1,OOO tu tinpnid checks and a State warrant for 88.350.

STATES SUPUEME Co ?BT.-A Washington telegram of tbe 11th instant to the Nw York Tribune says: "It wi!! bo remembered that the pro? secution of. the Ku Klux in Sooth Caro? lina was suddenly, suspended, a few weeks ago, because of the disagreement of the-Circuit Judge and the District Judge, sitting together, for tbe trial ot these, causes,. .The cases, ware, there? fore; certified op tia tho Supreme Court of the United States. The points upon which the oourt will be required to de? cide are as follows: First, as to whether, under the. enforcement law of May 81, 1870, persons oau.be punished for com? mitting a crime defined nuder tbe laws of the State; and. Second, as to .whether the right to bear arms ie a right guaran? teed by the constitution, and to be pro? tected under the Enforcement Act. This will substantially test the validity of the Aot in question; and. decide whether criminal? shall be punished for violating this law, as those that are punished under the State law. This important question will be brought up in a abort time iu the Supremo Court. Attorney General Williams and General Bristow will appear for the Government, and Reverdy Johnson and Henry Stanbery for the Ku Klux." THE PBESIDENOT.-The following ex? tract, from a leading article by the Cooperstown (N. Y.) Freeman's Journal, is thought to have been inspired by Judge Wilson, of the United States Su? preme Court: "Chief Jnstico Chase has dismissed all thought bf being a candidate for Presi? dent this year, and in favor of the nomi? nation of Senator Trumbull as the oppo? sition caudidate. Mr. Trumbull is un? derstood to be a revenue tariff man, and opposed to a high protective tariff. Tbe health of Judge Chase is not sufficiently restored to admit of the excitement of a political campaign such as we are likely to have this yeur; a fact which he fully realizes. Most of the leading Demo? crats of tliia Stute are at present inclined to accept Senator Trumbull as the 'coming man,' but opposes any precipi? tate action." A Washington despatch says: "The mou who aro controlling tho Cincinnati convention, which is called to nominate a liberal Republican ticket for President and Vice-President, have become im? pressed with the idea that there is a defi? nite prospect of Grant's being set aside at tho Philadelphia convention, and, de? sirous of making no premature moves, thoy have decided to postpone the Cin? cinnati convention till Juno 20, in order that they may accept the nominee at Philadelphia, if it be a mau on whom they can unite." Robert Diamond, sentenced at the last term of the Rusk (Texan) District Court to bo huug on the first Friday io Febru? ary, huug himself in the juil on the night of tho 3d. Ho tore his coat to shreds, and made a rope of them. He had beeu couv oted of tho murder of Lim ry iiryuu, a boy about ton years old, who wus killed ut his father's house dur iug u raid in 1860. "God niny forgive a penitent rebel," says Senator Chandler, "but I never will." This ia a dread and awful thing for the "rebels," us, without Chandler's forgiveness, they must inevitably be (1.unneil, no matter by whom niau they are forgiven. Tenders aro invited by the Spanish Govern meut for a telegraph outdo be? tween Spuiu and the Canaries, to bu ex? tended to e.uno Spanish posscssiou iu Atueiica.

The Atlanta Sun announces tho oou nectiou of Mr. David Wills, D. D., Pre? sident of Oglethorpo University, with the editorial corps of that paper.
