Shall the Voters of the North have
Equal Rights with the Voters
of the South?

One of the great questions to be decided at
the Congressional elections this fall is whether
the voters of the North shall obtain equal rights
with the voters of the South, or whether they
are satisfied that the abolition of slavery shall
even increase the superior rights which the
voters of the Southern States have thus far
enjoyed under the Constitution. The matter
is so plain that properly presented it cannot
fail to be understood by the dullcst intellect
According to the law of the 23d of May,
1850, it was enacted that the number of Rep
resentatives in Congress should be 233; that
the representative population which means
the whole number of free persons, excluding
Indians not taxed, with the addition of three
tfths of all other persons determined by the
census Of that year and thereafter should be
divided by said number 233, and that the quo
tient so found should be the ratio of represen-
tatlOn for the several States. The ratio thus
ascertained under the census Of 1860 was l24,-
1873, and upon this basis the 233 Representa-
tives were apportioned among the States The
number was however, increased by the act of
March f. 1862 from 233 to 24l, by allowing
one additional Representative to each Of the
following States: Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania Rhode Island
and Vermont According to this apportiOn-
ment, the Northern and Southern States had
the following number of COngressmen

NORTHERN STATES.

1t will be seen that in this case the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts and
Ohio, would each lose one, and the States of
New York and Pennsylvania each two. On
the other hand the States of Alabama, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia
would each gain one. AS the total voting pop
ulation of the Northern States is Is, ,652. .776.
and OF the Southern States S,O26. 100, this
would give in the Northern States one member
for voting population of l26, ,8S9, and in the
Southern States one member for voting nom
ulation Of IS, 1876. Those, therefore, who op-
pose the amendment, or who at the approach.
ing election vote for Congressman of the John.
son party, thereby vote that a Uoting populo-
ton Of l26, ,SS9 IN the North shall have as much
power as IS, ,496 SOutherncrs the immense ma.
jority of whom are unrepentant Rebels.

the admission of the Southern States to Con
gress is made dependent, and with it the Re
publican party insist that U0ter IN the North
ern States shall count as much GS q UOter az tn

population be made the basis of representation
the ratio of representation would be Ill ,6S5
and the Northern and Southern States entitled
to the following number of Congressman:

NORTHERN STATES.

Now that Slavery is abolished, the three -ffths
rule has, of course, to cease, and the new ap-
portionment has either to be made upon the
voting (white) population, as the Congression-
al amendment provides, or upon the total pop
ulation, as will be the case if the amendment. is
rejected and the johnson party have majori-
ty in the next Congress. Should the amend
ment not be adopted, and the 24I members,
provided for by the act of 1862 divided among
the States according to their total population,
the South would gain nine members and the
North would lose nine. The ratio of represen-
tatiOn in this case would be l29, 245, and the
representation of the Northern and Southern
States in Congress would be as follows:

WHAT IT COsTS THE REBELs.-One of the
editors of the Selma (Ala. Messenger, writing
from Tuscaloosa, says:
" A little business in the court house led me
to inquire into the financial condition of this
portion of the country, and learn that sheriffs'
sales are becoming so common that almost nc
purchasers are found for the valuable lands
and other property exposed for sale. A gen.
tleman informed me that some twenty farmers
had been sold out lately, their lands bringing
less than one dollar per acre. A sad instance
of the reverse OF fortune produced by the wal
was mentioned in the case OF old Mr.. Prewell.
of this county, whose estate was sold out on
the first Monday in this month. At the break.
ing out of the war he was the wcalthiest citi.
zen OF Tuscaloosa county. He owned three
hundred and sixty slaves and large tracts OF
land. lie had large sums Of money out at in
tcrest, secured by mortgage on negro property,
and land. lie was a hOmespun, economical
countryman, who bought everything at the low
est price for cash. He paid his physician )
bills before the doctor left the house. When
Gen. CrOxton came to Tuscaloosa he tool. from
this old man some forty head OF horses ana
mules, all his money, provisions, etc., Wnlch
was his first calamity. Next came cmanclpa-
ton, which swept his slave property Next
came the breaking up OF all the men 10 "h9lh
| Prewett had loaned money or Tor Whom ne
stood security. Finally, an execution was
levied on his property for few thousand dol
lars. and all his real estate was sold under the
sheriff : hammer for six hundred dollars -

1t will be seen that in this case Illinois.
Maine, Michigan, New Jersey and Wisconsin
will gain one Representative each, Massachu-

Odd mistakes are sometimes made in type
setting by the omission of letter, or the sub
stitution of one letter for another \ dispatch
from the West, which we find in one of our cx-
changes, reads "We have Montana papers
to the 9th of August. The grasshopperS have
destroyed every green thing in Deer Lodge
Valley, except the grass and widows" In

patch returns to where it originated, it will
read, "The grasshoppers have destroyed every
green thing except the grass-widows."

that, with proper attention to costume and

matched suitable husbands and wives for two
or three generations, and had exported several
very well assorted families, which, being pro-

and in few moments more the hard labor
ceased. The brig righted. the masts had
grown straight, and the sails had done

swells, and as the men looked ahead through
the falling rain, they saw the smooth haven
stretching away up into land-a haven into
which the southern storm-demoE could not
come, but where the weary bark could be
at rest. 1t was the long, narrow inlet of
Fillmore.
At length the sail was taken in, the an
chors dropped and then the men crowded
about their fair pilot to bless her for the
service she had done them. But she asked
not their thanks, though she could not re-
fuse their gratitude. .e...s. u
