Wilt Whose Effeci titt Se JSredJmj the

- r i-. i
f I
WasiiIKotoV. Dec 20 A bill
is is
process of preparation having for' jits ob
ioct minority representation in Congress
and will probably ' introduced in I tlie
House soou after the reassemblage of Con
gress, y It proposes ;to liave the ligisla-
mil? oi cacu ounearer me apportionment
of the next census to re-district the! State
that the minority as well as the majority
may be entitled to representation Li The
plan -proposed is an ingenious oneand if
in force at the last leluction, 'woukThave
secured from the South over thirty Rc
publican members, iwenty of whom would
have been colored men, while on tlie oth
er band the deinocratcs would have; gain
ed a corresponding number in tho North.
By this plan, if carried out nt the next
election, the Democrats will have a small
majority, but all parts of the country
alike will bo represented by Republicans
as well as Democrats. The plan is to so
divide each State into districts that the
districts may, as far as possible, 1e en
titled to elect either three or five mem
bers each, thus permitting the majority
of voters to elect two out of three', of three
dot of five? Iu case the diAriclT is entit
led to three' representatives each, the
electors vote for two candidates aud uo
more. . Where the State is eutitlcdto two
representatives only, as in case of Rhode
Island and Florida,! it is to be di vided into
two districts, each electing one member
as at present, as in this case a majority
and luinority representation would be ini
lMssible. , Iu all cases w here there is no
odd representative,! after the State ' has
been divided as nearly as possible into
districts to. bo represented by three or
fire members, a separate district is to be
set apart for this representative, who
is-clected as at present. The effect of this
bill will be to break up the solid ; South
and secure to the colored people a1 repre
sentative iu Congress. It is argued that
if it were passed it would remove the ob
jections raised by Senator Blaine to the
present unequal representation of the
colored population of the South. It is not
expected that the bill will pass at the
present session of Congress, but it wilt be
introduced to attract public attention aud
excite public discussion on the subject,
preparatory to its reintroduction at the
next Congress.
COLD, DIPHTHERIA AND SULPHUR.
I In the six years ending December 31,
1876, there peri shed of diptheria in the
ci ty of Nctf York 7,579 ierson s ; of these
437 died in the Juno months, 433 in the
Julys, 400 iu the Augusts, 543 iu the Sep
teinbers, 71U in the Octobers, 804 in the
Novembers,805 in tho Decembers, Gcl4 ?n

in the Marches, 55(1 in the f Aprils, 505 iu
the Mays. -Jlonce ;culd does, seem to
inihifucc the disciise: anuvwe maVsafelv
assume that diphtheria is ajH to make a
hdguient iu a throat alreaily irritated or
iuflamed, for only a small portion of those
who are exposed to it contract the disease
and the firmer and stronger muceus mem
branes, of adults geuerally successfully
resist it. The most approvetl modern
theory is that the poison of measles, scar
let fever, diphtheria and. other allied dis
eases makes a lodgment iu the mucous
membrane of the throat, from whence
some of it is swallowed, and thus infects
the stomach .and general system ; while
another portion makes its way directly
through the mucous membrane into the
vessels lying in and behind it, and is thus
conveyed into the blood. If tho mucous
membrane be delicate, ns in children, or
already inflamed or ubrabed in adults,
absorption of the poison will, take place
more readily and quickly. Sulphur is use
ful in many profuse ; discharges from the
mucous membranes and skiu, aud ; may
counteract diphtheria as loug as it is a
purely local affection of the throat, but is
tot) insoluble to follow the poison rapidly
when it has made, its entrance into the
blood. Chlorate of potash, gallic acid
alum, borax and tannin are vastly more
soluble and equally beneficial in the local
aflectiou. They may even? be used as
preventives te toughen - and; .strengthen
the mucous membranes of tho throat. '

Without . known precedent, .hnd er-

Hampton Cf South Carolina, in uttering
.requisition for one Kim p ton. a fngative
4iom justice.- This j udicial inquiry was
the first false step, and it had to be i fob
lowed by ot hers, of course, The motives
were found to bo political, and the re
quisition was dishonored, an act as dis
graceful as it was illegal. ' In spirit if
sought to establish a State fight that
Alexander Hamilton woutd bave scorned
to consider, and which the most advanced
Democrat of his time would never have
approved, j After a time Ki nip ton saw
what a bad blunder had been made, and
ho auiTendered himself to the authorities

acknowledged his error no harm would
have followed his decision of the - easel
But the precedent was set aud the order
was not revoked. Pretty sood Massachu
setts, sent for two criminals who had fled
from the "Bay State" to fLittle Rliody,?
and, Although Gov. Vauzandt was willing
to honor the requisitions of Gov. Rice, be
uiougnt it best to inform that official that
he questioned his motives and would 3rst
investigate them. Meanwhile the-scoun-
drels escaped the clutches of the; police
and aro still at large. Nor: did the bad
example rest here, for; recently . Gov.
Hartraft sent requisitions to the . chief
magisti ate-of a Western State for some
Iersons charged with high crimes, and
misdemeanors who had fled from ; the
jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, and they
are yet unnoticed or unanswered, be
cause Gen. Cullom, the Governor of Illi
nois, "questions the motives" of Gov.
Hartraft, aud will first inquire intb tho
eases of the alleged criminals before he
delivers them up to the watching and
waiting "minions of the law from Penn

this dangerous , practice will stop unless
