mainder of Judge Douglass term If, as is
quite probable, the majority in the Legislature
should be against them, they would not he SO

The state Register says
The convention will district the state, as il

AS for the adjustment Of the states accounts

without any further legislation on the part OF
the state. None is needed to reach this end
As to the congressional apportIonment, if
the legislature is convened, and it acts ut all
upon the SUBJECT, it will confirm the appor-
tlonmcnt made by the convention. There il
