The Apportionncit Bill.
The Apportionment Bill will fail
this session, although twenty State
Legislatnres, which meet bi-ninially,
are now in session, and the failure of
the bill will entail hundreds of thou
dsands of dollars' expense for extra ses
sions. Mr. Cox who, besides heing at
wit, is one of the most learned metn
bers of the 1-louse, mude an elaborate
speech last week. urging an inimedi
ate passage of the bill, and argiing it
favor of 301 ts the nuber, instead of
293. H1e showed that there was not.
any party, local Or sectional incliua
tion inl that nutmber. U nder his bill
the old slave Stales would gain eight
and lose two members; the .M iddle
States would lose three and the New
England States would lose three and
the Western States would gain, ten andI
lose two. The old shave States would
make a net gain of six Reprsetatives,
while the rest of the States made a net.
gain of two.. That is, the West would
gainl e1it, hile Nlew Eng-land, New
York and Pennsylvania wllould lose
six. If any one com~plained that (lhat
was sectional or partisan, to might
calculate the net gains North and
Souti from number 290 to 319, and the
South had a net gain over the North.
That net gain would be as follows:
-On 290 mnembers, ntne; on 291, eight.:
o0 292, seven; on 293, u;o; on 294,
live; on 295, six; o 296, five; on 297,
four; o 298, three; on 299, four; on

onl 814, fiye ; onl 315, four ; Onl 316,
819, none. The loss to the South
would begin with one at 320, two at.
821, thrce at 322, two at 323, one i't
324 anid twro at 325. There, then, was

.at that increase, there would be giving
up to par'ty.or section what was mneanit

.Any increase over his numbtier would

We opposed the aggression of corpora
tionis long before our Fairfield graniger
was gouged. We wore much ntearer
right. on the bond question than our
collteitporary. We opposed such
"honiest" lleastiures as that which pro.
posedA to save the Staie fron being
swindled in one way and authorizing
her to swinidle inl another, which de
sired to reptudiate the Consolidation
Act, inl so far 31s it made the State
liable for Radical bonds and to adopt
it lin so far as it cheateI honest holders
out of fifty emeits on the dollr. The
Medium has very little to boast of in
the decision of the court, which very
comiortably split the difference and
permitted the bond holders and outr
ConltlIelporary to display equal jubi
lance. But a halt' loaf is better tl'an
no bread, and the Medium is at liberty
to roll this crumb of comfort on its
tongue as much as it pleases. Tle
truhie cause for rejoicing is that the
CouLurt ircmioved the question from the
