We have received copy Of Mr.. Ash.
ley's bill for the rcapportionment ofrep-
rcsentativos In Congress under the new
census
The old law operates unfairly In dis.
tributing the fractions, aud increases the
ratio from $4,000 up TO near 1874 or ld0.-
600. Mr Ashley's bill secures an equal
distribution Of the fractions in all tho
states, and fixes the ratio at about los. =
600, thus securing the old states some
thing like their present number Of NOM
bers, including OHIO. The western and
southwestern states, Of course, increase
their number.
This bill also provides for tho election
OF representatives in Congress on the
somo day the states vote for Presidential
electors. This will enable new presi
dent to ctll Congress together immcd-
utcly after his Inauguration Unnecessary.
Iowa and some other states provide in
their constitutions and laws that their
elections for Congress and state officers
eiery iuuryeaFs, shall be held on the same
day Of tho Presidential election. The
proposed bill will not make il necessary
for tho statos TO alter their constitutions.
