FRIDAY, F ARY 25, 1851, ‘Tite: tedstative reports state that Mr. S, N, Wileox, oncof the West Park Commlsstoners, I3 now at Springfield promoting the passags of a bill to inerease park taxes In'West Chi- eago from 217 to Smills on thedotlar, o what extent, if any, the people of tho West Diviston have been eonsulted . on the subject tdoes not appear, yet they have or shonll Drave the greatest Interest In t, IF they wére sonsulted, they might object to any Increase of taxes ab present. The parks are pretly well along, il they are still o long way from the prineipal residenve portion of the eity, It 18 @ good rule to defeat any move Tor the Inerense of taxation that comes direat- 1y Trom inember of the munielpat body that hus the expenditure of the nivney to he ralseds ‘Chere may be an exception fn this ease, but If there is the peaple who are to by the taxes are i profonnd lmorance of it Mu Menneer has introdueed a slugular bl fnto the linoks Senate providing that the et reserves of Tife-lnsuranee companies do- g business hy this State shall be computed on the basts of 3 per cent instead of 4, s the Biw now simudse e, Merritt has the reputa- Uon of belng a maost guileless and nnsophistl- eated person, and it might be well for him to conskder whether he §s not belng used In this watter by bold, bad. and designing men, who have purposes of thelr own to serve.

Coor’s bill providing tor the ap- polntment of South Purk Commissioners in future by tha Governor, Instend of by the Cirenlt Judges, Is 6 good measuro and onght to puss. The system of appointment should by unlform. Tho West and North Park Commixslonery are now appolnted by the Governor; the South I'urk Commlsgloneys should be alse, 1t 1s no part of the Mdicial auly to suvervise purks, or to choose ofticers 10 do so; und in genvral the Judiclary should he kewt as free as possible from the entangle- wents of pactlsan politics, Theappointiment of these Commlssloners was given to thy Judges originully beenuse it was intendel that they should be non-purtismn, “Phat part of the plan has falled, ad tio rest may us well o with it: Nobody, probably, will ye- Jotee more to have the power of appolntment lodged with the Governar than the Judges themselves, who enre nothilng for the peity patronage volved, and will by suved moch teouble und nunoyniee by the change, BENATOR SHERMAN s probably check- wmated tho Natlonnl bunks that wroposed to Intimidate the Governnnt by withdrawing thelr elrenlution, and In ko dolng has exe- cuted onu of tho neatest ftank movements seen for o dong thne, ‘Ihe dispatehes. staty that he hug hexzun to eall hods out of regu- Tar order, sl has inetudiad £:25,000,000 of the bonds Iast bssued, awost of which aro ownel Ly banks, There Is nothing In the law to provent the Seeretnry from enllhge the yery bonds that the banks glving notice of inten- ton ta withdraw thedr clrenlnting notes mny have on deposit, 1n steh ese, the bank will Tosu Its elreulition ond its lvestment b highe rute bonds, with the eertuinty that it cannot einjoy any benefit from o fallure of the 4 pereent loang nud ICIE should desive ngaln W take out Hs elreulatin it could ouly do xo by depositing i per cent bouds, It will be seon that the SBeeretary has the power to strike hack at any bank that shall seek to githy nu unduo advintugy uver tho Government, und ke whll b Justified 5o dotng when the actlon of the bunk-ofll- tersin out of the regulac course, But It st i the ordinary conrse of ings b for the advantage both of the Govermuent nnd the bunks to mamtain hurmony between themselves, « 190 Republican cauens hns taken u post- ton on e Apportiomment bill from which it cannot possibly by driven, - As e Laplyun, of New York, statest i his speech, the Northern States havy gahied nearly 2,000,060 nore bn population thun the Southern States, wet It s proposed by the Democruts to reduce o o the tepresentatton of the former relatlvely four or six, aml to i o the Sonther Tesentation fo the same extent, 'Fhis would he alsotoadd fouror sis (o the Eleetoral voles now controlled by fraud and violenee in the Solid South, 11 i« indeed passing strange that 4,500,050 people should e represented hy four or v wore members of Congress than 650,00 people. One might almost infer from the Demoeratle Wil that representatlon. was based on latl tude or fsothevnal lines, and not on mathematies at all. "The Demoeratie tdea seems to b that there 18 u sort of poteney in the sun's rays when they como down per- pendieylnrly whiclh-requires $wo men in the South to have thy same representation ns three men iy the North, The Republieans bropose to lenve the representation of the two seetions preefsely ns 1t lsat present, ‘That is n fafe solution of the prablem, Prae- Heally the Republicans commatul the sltuas tlon.

To the extent that this feeling may prevall, the ehances of Mr, Charles & Will- ams, the member from the Junesville Distriet, witl be Improved. P S — FILIRUSTERING ON APPORTIONMENT. There are two questions involved in the ditatory tacties resorted toby the Republicans yesterday when Me, Cox endeavored to force a vote on the Apnortionment bill—namelys (1) tha merits, and ¢2) the propriety of cinploy- Inzfilibustering measures to postpone and nitl- mately defent w mensure which i3 obnoxtous to the minority, The werlts of the controversy may he best reached hy Ling the status of the cas The bl originally introduced hy Mr. Cox provided for 501 members, which gave the South an excess of four over the North, or amaln of elghtmewbers, The Democratic majorlty of tho Connuittee reported an amendment providing for 311 members, which gave tho South an exeess of six over the North, ‘The Republiean minority of the Committee reported an amendment fixing the membership al 319, and dividing the tiventy-slx newmemners evenly hetween the Novth utd the South, Then Mr, Cox offered as o substitute o bill fixing the membership at 307, which provides foreertatn of thaStates that had tarke unrepresented fractions under thenumber he first proposed, but still nllows the South to gain fonr more new members thun the North woitld galn thereby, ‘Fhe Ite- publican ennens arter several considerntions on the subjeet determined not to necept any less number than 810, Tho main grownd upon whieh this deetslon was bused Is that while tho North as o seetfon Inerensed about 13,500,000 niul the South ag a seetion Inereased only 4600000 durlng the precedhmg ten years, it woulit be unfalr to the North it the South wers permitted to ne- aulve o greater proportionate strength in the House of Hepresentatlves than it has had heretofove. The elaim of the Demovrats Is that the fnerease of population in the South In proportion to its number of Inhabltatants has been greater than the tne creasu at the North In proportlon to its popu- Intlon, sl also that the conntry should prop- erly by divided into several seetion Hle,—1n whieh easo the seetional guln of the South wonld not appear exces- s1vo I proportion to the relative imerease of vopulntion, ut this statement of the easy chudes two important considerntions which Republleans inslst UPOR— The Inarge Inerenss of population the (O] inhe South it fulrly enumerated nrlses from the defeets In the emmneration of 18703 or, In other woras, If thy census of 1570 in the South had been anything like so complete ns that of 1850 has been, no such Inerense could hnve heen shown, (2) The ssetional division futo North amd South has been established by the Solid South lself, and so long os this seetlonnl condition exists in polities It is nee- essury Tor the North as the turger seetlon to proteet Jtsedt wgninst encronchment from the smaller seetion, 'Uhs I8 a fulr statument of both sldes of tho enso on fis morlts, and arlthmetie - favors one side auftons much as the other In fignring out the proportions of politleal rep sentatlon, As to the propriety of 11 steving, that part of tho subjeet might by womisseds with Smnlw’sanswer to hls purtner when the lat- tor questloned whether * 1t was vight to rob the hen-roust? “*Dis am n great morad auestion,” sald Suinbo, handlug duwn another ehleken, ** which -wo haven't got fhme to discuss Just now,” The fact Iy that the controversy ovor upportionment ls to n coraln estént the struggle for party mlvintase on eithor stde, ‘Flho Demo. eratle purty Is the mujority and ‘the ltepmb- Hean puaty Is the minonty party In the Tousu ot Representatives, 1€ the Domoerats wr not stncers enungh nthelr convietlons nor zealous enongh fu thelr dovotlon thereto to hold thely njority together and keep thelr member@n thely seats, thoy must ex- beet to forfelt the ndvantage Whieh & mujor- Ity glves them.
