graph third of the Constitution OF the
Union provides that representatives
land direct taxes shall be apportiened
among the several States which may
" beincluded within this Cnion, accord

"shall be determined by adding to the

We intended 10 make some remarks
on the above quotation, but find the
following article from the JohnstOwn
Tribune pretty near what we desired
TO say, except some Illustrations from
the census returns 10 which We may
refer hereafter.
Under the pportionment Of mcm-
bers Of Congress based upon the CEN
sus Of 1860 the South was entitled be-
fore the war to nineteen members
whose constituency were Of the class
denOminated in the constitutional
phrase three ftths Of all other per-
sons, that Is. SiureS. Ii the theory
that the late rebel States were never
out OF the CnIon is accepted by Con
gress, and the policy advocated by
some Of "reconstructing' those States
is permitted 10 prevail, Of course the
South will still be entitled, under the
present apportionment, to these same
nineteen representatives, That is to
say, the late rebels OF the South, in ad-
dition 10 sending representatives to
Congress for all their white population
and all their negroes heretofore free.
will send nineteen representatives for
three-tfths Of their late slaves, all OF
which slaves were loyal to the flag, and
not one OF whom will be permitted to
vote by their late masters if they can
help it.
But the iniquity will not end here.
After the census Of 1870 there will be
new apportionmcnt # political pow
CT. According to the clause cf the
Constitution above quoted, fve-fifths of
the negroes Of the South lately slaves
will be represented in Cong ess-fvc-
fitths instead Of threc-fitths, for, the

A heavy full of black rafu took place last
month near Aberdeen, Scotland. The Aber-
deem Journal snys: The black ra'a q showers
and about which the Inhabitants Of part Of
Aperdeeusbire are In the way Of speaking
with no greater nstonishment,- when one Of
falls from peculiarly coloted dark cloud,
blackcning materials exposed to 1t, than they
speak Of white shower from snowy cloud,
have been at last recognized in England Be-
tween the beginning Of January, 1862, aud the
middle Of January, 1866. there have been no
fewer than eight authenticated black showers
In Scotland. Seven of these fell In Slal1s and
the extensive surrounding district: Two OF
them were accompanied with pumice stones,
some OF the balls Of which measured eight to
ten inches in diameter, and weighed upwards
oi a pound ayoirdupoia. The first tour, in-
cludfng the Carluke shower, and the
eighth, we're contemporaneous With out
bursts of Vcsuvius, and the intermediate
three with those Of Etna. But now, through
the instrumcntality Of the Rev. Mr.. Rust,
Of sluins, who was the first to draw
general attention to the Scottish showers, 1t
has been discovered that England gets her
share likewise Of blnck showers, although
ohe did not think that she was so distinguish
ed. On the third of May OF the present year,
ia. the town Of Birmingham and surrounding
country were for three-quarters OF au hour
each time enyeloped with black clouds pro.
ducing darkness and rain. Accidents took
place In the streets, vehicles we're upset, and
ings, and nera1y in all places OF business.
Mr. Rust, writing for Information. got
inquiries Instituted, aud the result Is
found to be that q large quantity Of
black rain, similar to the Scottish,
tell and bIackened rain water In tanks
ham itself, but ut rural places many miles
distant unaffected by sot't and smoke, and
even wtnWard Of that town. So tar rs known,
however. no word has set arrived Of any vol
canic ou'burst, although, Judging from what
has taken place in Scotland, a probability ex-
activity, emitting its contents, whether 1t be
heard Of or not.n
