KENTUcKY.-We have already stated
the fact that the Senate OF Kentucky, by
an unanimous vote, has expressed its OPP
position to the abominable doctrine of
reputation. We have now to add that
the lower House OF the Legislature OF that
State, by a like vote of unanimity, has
the same sentiments on this sub
ject. 1t will thus be seen Ito quote the
words of the Frankfort Commonwealth
that both branches OF the Kentucky Leg
islature without distinction of party. unit
ed in condemning those villainous doc
trines which have found favor in some
quarters where Honesty is not thought 10
be the best policy. Kentucky presents
an undivided front in favor Of the obliga-
ton of contracts, individual, State or Ma.
tional.

As il is all important that Congress
shall act speedily upon this question, to
save the State Governments the expense
of Extra Sessions Of their State Legisla,
lures, ! presume the subject will soon be
before the one or the other or both Houses
for consideration.
The Constitution originally provided
that the number of Representatives, should
not exceed one for every 80, 900 inhabi-
tants, allowing, however, every State.
New Hampshire began with three, Mas.
sachuseits eight, Rhode Island one, Con-
n%ecticut five, New York SIX, New Jersey
four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one,
Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Caro-.
lima five, South Carolina FIVE, and Geor.
gia three,-making in these, "the Old
Thirteen Colonies" six:y-fve members.
Now, with the great fractional population
named above, and a proposed alteration
of Representation OF 6s,500, Congress will
have 223 members.
