CALIroRMA AND IT'S RErREsESTArIos-We
have already stated that the present population
of California il shout 3l4000. BY the United
States census only such persons are enumerated
~ were residents Of the State in June last, or
almost year ago, and that enumeration, accord
ing to the California Courier, shows that the
population at that time did not exceed 100000
So far, therefore, from California being entitled
10 three Representatives In Congress, she will be
fortunate II she gets two The ratio Of repre-
ssntation will not vary much from $4,000; this
Gill give California one member, and leave
fraction of $1,000 over. As some twelve States
having the lArgss, fractions will be entitled each
10 ons additional member, California will prob
ably retain. during the next ten years, her pre-
sent representation, but nothing more.
