The managers, who are from the North, affirm that
from the experiment made, they consider the matter
as settled that these hands viii do well not better
than whites. Thus VIC see The South has been most
reluctantly driven to the manufacturing business,
business which they would most anxiously have
avoided, but which now in self defence they
PEELED to pursue.
AS there seems to be in1cxiblc disposition on
the part of the General Government to fix down upon
us that odious law, the Tariff, for the purpose of
satiating northern cupi,fity, hope the southern
people will patronize their own manufacturing ins,

enterprise which seeks to mitigate the effects of an
unjust policy may in the end relieve from it alto

Ratio Of Represcnfation.-1he committee of Con-
gross, from which the bill for taking the 5th census
was reported, estimate the population of 1890 as fol-
lows; free population l0,620 000;-slaves 1850 0OO
total IL 1000, and recommend the ratio of SO 600
tor tho representation, in tho House of Rcprescn-
tatives which will not increase the number of that
body to more than 2s5 members.
| We think 1t extremely probable, from ull we have
heard, that the ratio of so 600 will be adopted. This
will give New York, Ohio, and some of the New
States additional number of represen,a,ivcs-

nave increased at the rate OF 10 per cent which is
probably not far from the fact, we shall number

stead OF the present number of thirteen; there
viii be fraction OF 1865, unreprcsen,ed. Even
should the rate OF increase be found to be ii per
cent still we shall have but eleven members with
fraction of 1856. Vermont will be SAFE having a
large fraction over at the last appointment. Con-
nectcut may. possibly, for the same reason be able
10 retain her present number. Rhode Island, as we
informed by those who have had opportunities TO
judge Of the fact will fall little short of 100 900
inhabitants, and consequently will lose one rcpresen-

national government, IS sonsibly diminishing. This
dimnuiion must be countcrbaancet by an Increase of
