~ On introducing the bill to postpone
the election of Members of Congress from
September, 1869, to March, 1868, Mr. Mich
OILS of Rutland stated that the bill increasing
the number C members from 233 to 239
would probably pass. and that in that event
Vermont will certainly have three members,
her unrepresented fraction being 10000
This is all correct except the fraction, which
is G1,2j2; and we are responsible for that
mistake. Vermont has the highest unrepre-
scented fraction of any state, and in case OF
the proposed increase she will Of course
maintain her present number of three men,
bers for the next ten years. The congress
ional bill to increase the number passed the
House by nearly unanimous vote, and is
pending in the Senate. That body is anx-
ious to save the representation of the small
err states, especially Rhode Island, and we
think it will pass the bill in shape to secure
that end. Her fraction is 1859. Ken
