THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC FRAUD, The Democratio majority in the Ohlo Leg- Islatnro has flanlly pushed its Redistrioting bill through by a strict party voto, under cir- cumstances which aggravate the iniquity originally conceived. The Legislature had resolved to adjonrn Monday evening, buton Friday recoived s peremptory motico from Bpooker Raxpary, Bayren, FEnsaxoo Woop, and other influentinl Democratic mom- bora of Congress, that tho gorrymandoring bill must be pnssed. A resohition was in. troduced to reseind tho ndjonrnment resolu. tion. By a hocus-pocusarrangement betweon the Bpenker of the logislative Iouso and the Democratio loader, tho rescinding resolution was carrled against the slroug opposition of tho Ropnblican minority. To overcome this opposition tho Speaker adopted the ecxtrnodinary oxpodient of violat- ting tho rules and overruling a point of order that was palpably well taken, The rescinding rosolation was taken from the tablo on n *‘snap-vote,” tho Speaker recog- nizing for that purpose o Domocratio mem. ber who stood near tho desk and spoko so low that ho was not heard by the Republicans. The voto on this motion was lmmediately put and deolared carried. Tho resolution quickly passod the Sonate, where the Demo- cratio majority is lorger and under better digcipline. So tho session was cxtended, and the dispatches yosterday morning reported tho passage of tho infamous Ileapportion. ment bill. Tho effect of the bill will bo to secure thir. taen or fourtcen Democratio Congressmen out of twenty, on the basis of tho vote of 1876, whon, it will bo rememberod, HAves had a majority of nearly 7,000 in tho State. It iscalculated that o Republican majority of 20,000 to 25,000 would bo necossary to over- como tho Domocratic roapportionment snd sacura o majority of the Congrossmen. This result has been accomplished partly by load- ing Ropublican conntics down with Dem- oceatic majorities in adjoining ocountios, ond partly by massing the Republican voto in o fow districts. Thus the Eleventh District on tho now basis will ave a Republican ma- Jority of 11,800, the Fourth District 8 ma. jority of 6,000, and the Ninth District o ma- jority of G,181. ‘Tho largest Democratic runjority (in tha Fitth Diatriot) will bo 4,766, ‘Iho Cincinnati Gazetle suys thnt thirtoen of tho reconstructod distriots aro Democratic, according to to voto of 1870, by majoritics ranging from 76 to 4,765, while soven aro Republicau by majorities ranging from 417 to 11,800 majorities in tho soven distnicta exceeds by nonrly 7,000 the aggregato of the Duwmoczatic majorities in the thirteen districts. Tho motives of tho Domoorats in putiing this scandalous job through nre to mnke more places in Congress for smbitious Ohlo Democrats, and to secure o majority of the State delogation in Congreas so that, in case of n Presidontinl contest, thevoto of the Re- publican State of Ohio may be thrown for theDomocratio candidate. Thesomotives havo been publicly avowed with an effrontery sol- Thora is tho urgont necesaitios of tho” Democratio party. Thopresont apportionment was mado It is 08 falr as any that could bo devised. Though it has given the Republicans twelve Coogressmen out of twonty on n majority of 7,000, this has only closo districts have been earried by the Ropublicans. The Dew- lar results if they conld obtain a similar ma. jority in tho State, Thoy soemn to prefer to obtain it by fraud, giving themselves the Qongrossmen whilo thoy leavo their oppo- nents tho majorities, The programme of fruud, couceived in Washington and carrled out partially in Oblo, has thus become dis- tinctly a part of the Domoeratis policy, This Democratio fraud is bonud to boinjuri- ous, in the long ran, to the Democratio party, It will provoko rotaliation.

It it bad not organized fraud {n Washingtou in atiempt. ing to upsot the decision of the Electoral Commission, and perpotrated fraud in Ohlo to msuro its triumph in futnro elec. tious, it would ba far strongor bofore the people in 1880 thau it is now likely to be.

But wo have ubundaat falth that an indquity of this kind will not long be permitted to staud; and that when the rebuke cumes it will bu more than sutliclont to compensate the Repullican party for all the deprivations it may have sufered on this account, Senalor Marraews will agaiu court damag- ivg prominonce next week by urging the wubsidy Texas Paclfio bill which was zeportcd by the Rtailrond Comumittes in March last, There is reuson to believe that, if this mess. ure ba forced to o voto, it will meet with jts death fu the Bonate, It waso significant circumstance, ot the time tho Committea re- ported the bill, that evory member of the Cowmitteo cxpreasly rosorved tho right to tako guch individual action fu regard to it as each wight determine for Limsclf; tho ro- Tho aggrogate of Ropublican’ porting of tho bill was, thereforo, less than ustial an indication of ita sucooss, It Mr. Marrnzws shnll bo as unfortunate in the advocncy of this mensure na he waa in urging bLis substituto for Tnunarax's Railroad Fund- ing bill, he will subjoct himself to criticism with small hopo of finding any compensa- tion in ultimato success, The lobby lns been notably unfortunato with the Bennto during the present Congross, and the rojec- tion of tho proposed subsidy for Mr, Roacu's Brazilian steamers encouragos tho hopo that Col. Scorr's projected railroad subsidy will fare no botter while there is another propo- sition to build the samo line without Gov- ernment nid, and simply in cousideration of tho right of way. Tho subsidy gang who infest Washington gota rebuko on Tuesday in the Bennls on the question of voting taxes ns subsidies to steamships. Mr. Epaunps raised the question that ‘snch logislation was out of order 1n an approprintion bill, Of courso Mr. Brarse rushod {o the rescuo of the sub- sidy-boggars, but the Bonnto austained the objoction. It may interest the people of tho country, and ospecially of tho West, o know who among the Benntors voted to lovy taxes on tho people to giva a bounty to ocean steamalip compnnies, of thoso voting in the afrmative: Danxus, Conn,, Dem.
