it il alleged ii bargain was made by the Re-
publican delegation from Cook County, was
under discussion in the Senate, it was gencr-
ally opposed by the Democratic faction in that

can. one Bucl,anccr, (Martin, Of Whitc,) and
two Douglas men, (Buckmastcr, Of Madison,
and Kuykendall, Of Jo1lnson) Tho Democrat

ty tue relief that they desired, aud equally
afraid to vote against his party, lodged when

The Next Census.
Provision was made in tue Civil Aplropria-
ti"n bill ut the late Session Of Congress for the
preliminary arrangements for taking the ftl,
Census uutrr the existing Lam. The President
will no doubt soon appoint Superintendent for
the work. The Secretary Of the Interior will
follow tile plan Of the last Census in reference

Tie aplortionmcnt If Representatives, it will
be rccollcctcd. is settled by existing law The
number Of members Of the Louise was rlaccd ut
3;;3, allowing additional Representatives for now
Suites.
Tic present number Of Representatives is
III. The addition Of so large Il number makes
tllc morins OF the desks from tic Representa-
tlvcs' Hall :: judcinus und almost necessary

lortion now had not been deemed desirable on
otiIcr grounds, it would have becn likely ,o
tu1low to meet tlm demands Of the new appor-
tionment.
