HOUSE OFREPREsENTATIvEs

1Hesd4y, Jan. 2, 1916.
A multitude of petitions were presented
and referred to various committees.
Mr.. Robertson, from the committee of
Pubic Lands, made unfavourabe reports
on the petition OF the municipal authority
of she town of Mobile, and on the petition
of Joseph and Joshua Horn--which were
read and concurred in.
Mr.. Wright from \ select commit &c on
the subject, reported a bill to authorise
the settlement and payment for certain
! services of the Militia, (called out under
state authority, &c.) This bill was twice
read am committed.
Mr.. Ross, from the select committee an
pointed to enquire into the progress OF the
printing of the edition of the laws to which
Congress have subscribed, handed in let
ter from the Secretary Of State on the sub
ject, from which it appears probable that
they my be ready for delivery in all Fee

and changes of property subject to tie Di-
rect Tax, and for other purposes, was

MILITARY ACADEMIES.
The house, according to the order of the
day, again resolved itself into committee
of the whole, on the bill for establishing,
three additional Military Academies.
The amendment on the table at the for
mer sitting on this subject, wiz. on motion
Of Mr.. Pickens, to limit the increase to
two Academies, one within the District OF
Columbia, and one at Asheville, Buncombe
county, n. c. was taken up, and rejec-

Mr.. Wide then proposed to amend the
bill so as to establish one Additional AGA
deny only, and that one within the district
Of Columbia This motion he supported
by arguments going to shew the expedieA-
cy Of such an institution being as much as
possible OF national character, and un~
der the eye of the government. lis OBJ

To THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER

In the piece published in the Enquirer
on the 4,h instant, the inequality of Repre-
sentation in the House of Delegates in Vir-
gina, is shewn-You will perhaps do a
farther service to the community by ex-
tending the inve stigation of the same sub
ject little farther, SO as to shew how the
Representation stands in the Senate. The
following statement exhibits in striking
view, the inequality and injustice in the
existing arrangement of the Senatorial
ID stricts.
BY reference to the last Census taken
by the United States insls1o, it appears,
that it the Districts arc equalized, there
ought to be about 40, 625iinh abitants in Fe-
deral numbers, or about 5000 free whites
to each District.-Let us now apply this
Scale to each S,natorial District, as it now
stands, and We find
