REPRESENTATIVES, n ELEcToRs IN
l86O.-The Philadelphia Bulletin esti-
mates that the representative population
in 1860, throughout the Union, will be
about 81, OOO, 900, divided as follows !;
Free States 90, 900, 900; Slave States
1000, 900. The number of representa-
tives being 234, the ratio of ~apportion-
ment will be about 132, 900, and the
House will consist of ISL representatives
from Free States, and 83 from Slave
States. The Bulletin distributes them as
follows: Southern States, 80; New Eng
land States, %; Middle States New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, So /;
Western States Including California and
Minnesota), 70. In case of admission
into the Union of Kansas, Nebraska,
Oregon, Utah, or a new State from part
OF Texas, these figures will be somewhat
modified, as each new State will have at
least one new member, and the older
States will loose in a corresponding de-
gree. If these calculations are correct,
the Presidential electors for 1860 will
number 298, of whom 1876 will be from
Free States and 113 from Slave States.

QUAserEroE, JAS. Is, 1857.
Mr.. EDITOR


On Wednesday last, in the alb
sence Of my wife and myself, there were
several persons entered my house and
took the liberty to turn some things up
side down, strewed the floor with hay,
and concealed the hay with a somewhat
expensive cloth, and nailed it down.
They covered the walls with paper, and
encountered the room with q workable
and full set of cane bottomed chairs, to-
gether with sundry other fxings. l am
not disposed to complain of this sort of
treatment. If | am insulted l V
mean to know it. If / am honored, /
am more or less sensible that l do not
deserve it. AS | am not a believer in
S~piritualism. and especially that the dis
embodied would make me a surprise Wis
it, | turn my conjectures earthward.-
Somebody did the deed. l bow in sub
mission, hoping and believing Gas they
hung up the image of Sincerity, with eyes
uplifted to Heaven) that there was no
evil designed, B. ROBERTS.
re- Although we perceive Mr.. Ron
ERTs' communication is dated in time for
insertion in our paper last week, yet it
did not reach us until a late hour of the
present week-consequently we are not
responsible for the delay in its publica-
ton.
We have been requested to give notice
that the contemplated donation visit to
Mr.. ROBERTS, will take place on Thurs
day, February 5th. As these visits are
regarded as expressions of public appre-
citation for the services of religious teach
ers, and esteem for their private charac-
ter as men, we have but little doubt that
the claims of Mr.. RoBERrs upon this
community for a liberal donation will be
fully acknowledged.

BAD CrHRoGRApuY.-A good story is
told concerning the writing of J. w.
Brooks, the great railroad manager of
Michigan. He had written q letter to a
man on the Central route, notifying him
that he must remove a barn, which in
some manne incoIhmoded the road, un-
der penalty of prosecution. The threat
ened individual was unable to read any
part of the letter but the signature, but
took it to be a free pass on the road, and
used it for a couple of years as such,
none of the conductors being able to dis
pute his Interpretation of the document.

mote the project of building a railroad up
the valley Of the Wapsipinicon, have just
returned from Anamosa, and We are
happy in being able to assure the people

up this valley has been guaranteed and
will be constructed. The committee will
make no report until after they return
from the East, and we therefore are not
authorized to state the result of their pre-
sent operations.

lie as a type-setter-he was a foreman of
printing office-afterwards an editor
then proprietor of a newspaper-was
subsequently, clerk of the House of Rep

space in the political world. 1t is singu-
lar that Simon Cameron has run the same
career with John w. Forney. He also
has been type-setter, editor, proprietor,
and in addition has served as bank pre-

both were born in comparative poverty
both achieved their present positions by
