One of the great questions to be deci-
ded at the Congressional elections this
fall is whe ther the voters OF the North
shall obtain equal rights with the vo-
ters 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 tar enjoyed under the Consti-
tuition. The matter is so plain that,
properly presented, it cannot fail to be
understood by the dullest intellect.
According to the law of the 2Sd of
May, 1850, it was enacted that the num-
Der of representatives in Congress
should be 2SS; that the representative
population (Which means the whole
number of free persons, excluding In
dians not taxed, with the addition of
three -fifths of all other persons) deter
mined by the census of that year and
thereafter should be divided by said
number 233, and that the !quotient so
found should be the ratio of representa-
ton for the several States. The ratio
thus ascertained under the census of
1860 was l24, ,1S3, and upon this basis the
2S3 representatives were apportioned
among the States. The number was,
however, increased by the act of March,
4, 1862, from 233 to 24l, by allowing one
additional representative to each OF the
following States: Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, and Vermont. Accord
ing to this apportionment the Northern
and Southern States had the following
number of congressman:

SENATOR WILSON ON THE FUTURE.

SENATOR WILSON ON THE FUTURE
In recent speech Senator Wilson, of
Massachusetts, spoke as follows {:
"Whatever President Johnson's course
may be, the 4th of March, 1869, will
come sometime; and, with the blessing
of God, we mean to elect, as President
in 1868, man who will not betray those
whe elected him. Thank God, we have
great and eminent men in the military
and in the civic service of the country,
any one of whom we can place in the
Presidential chair. ['Gen. Grant. ]
They can take Grant or any civilian in
the country. The Union Republican
party Ofthe country has men who have
won grand historic positions, and
among those men we will select the one
who is to be our standard-bearer in
1868, and who will not follow the exam

It will be cen that in this case the
States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mas
sachusetts and Ohio would each lose
one, and the States of New York and
Pennsylvania each two. On the other
hand, the States of Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia would each gain. one. AS the
total voting population of the Northern
States is 1862, ,776, and of the Southern
States 9,026, 700, this would give in the
Northern States one member for vo-
ting population of 126, ,SS9, and in the
Southern States one member for Vo-
ting population of IS, ,496. Those, there
fore, who oppose the amendment, or
who at the approaching election vote
for congressman of the johnson party,
thereby vote that a Voting population Of
126, ,SS9 in the NORTH shall have as much
power as 1896 Southerners, the i'm

which the admission of the Southern
States to Congress is made dependent,
and with it the Republican party, insist

The PoIIartl-Tyler Dimculty.

The differences between H. Rives
Pollard, editor of the Richmond Eran.-
iner, and Col. John Tyler, Jr., candi-
date for the Virginia State Senate, are
still kept up. Tho following is copy
of the poster paraded in the streets of
Richmond:
To the Public and Ny Friends:
Be under no concern about the sour
rility of the Examiner newspaper of this
morning. know my duty to the peO-
pie, and all in Richmond know the
character and vocation of H. Rives Pol
lard. JOHN TYLER, JR.
1t appears that Mr.. Tyler, unable to
obtain the influences of Mr.. Pollard to
aid him in his election, published a
card in the Richmond Times of Friday,
21st inst, charging the Examiner as
being owned by the Adams Express
Company, who, holding n deed of trust
upon its favors, that paper could in no
wise be taken as a true Southern one.
This elected from Mr.. Pollard q re-
ply denying IN toto tho assertions OF
Col. Tyler as "an unmitigated, mali
cious and atrociouss talsehood," which
in turn was answered by tho above
poster, Mr.. Pollard Immediately dis
patching friend to call on Mr.. Tyler
with the following note:
RICHMOND, Sept. 22-5 o'clock.
John Tyler:
with great surprise, that you have
caused to be posted card on the pub
lie streets assailing me. You are the
aggressor in this matter. 1 have only
repelled the attacks made upon me by
you. If you deem yourself insulted by
my reply in this mornings Examiner,
1 stand ready to afford you personal
satisfaction at any time.
81. RIvEs POLLARD.
There was no reply to this, and on
! Thursday Mr.. Pollard wrote long ar
ticle on the subject in the Examiner,
after saying that
"This was the act of the coward and
the blackguard. If Mr.. Tyler regarded
the article of the Examiner as Insulting
to him, there was q mode of redress
open to him. There was a course to
pursue that custom prescribes among
gentlemen"
And further, after quoting the above
letter of Saturday:
"Here Mr.. Tyler has offered him an
opportunity OF personal satisfaction.
IF he feels himself insulted; we say to
him that we are ready to accord to him,
or to any one else who may feel Offend
ed by any article published in this pa
per, any personal satisfaction he may
demand. If he chooses not to select a
fair and honorable combat, and to
ignore and outrage that custom usual
among gentlemen, there are still other
ways open to him. We are accessible
at any time."

CoLFAX's DIsTRICT.-The Copper
heads are making extraordinary ef-
forts to defeat Cnlfax. They are or
ganizing on extensive raid on the
Ninth District. Mcdonald, the late
Copperhead candidate for Governor,
has stumped it all over. Senator Hen
bricks, Dan. Voorhees,, General Stead
man, ex-senator Fitch, General Man
son, General Slack, Geo. E. Bates, Sen.
Dale, McCord, C. L. Vallindigham, and
Henry Clay Deane-are all advertised
to canvass against Speaker Colfax.
The cold-Water renegade in the
White House is at the bottom of this
general onslaught on Colfax. He is
excessively anxious to beat COlfux, and
have the Copperhead blackguard Tur-
pie elected to Congress, because he is u
man after his own heart. 1t will be
remembered that when COlfax went to
Washington last fall, he made speech
fortnight before the opening of the
session, in which he fOreshaddowed the
policy which Congress would persue,
aud emPhnticnlly denied the right OF
the President to dictate the terms of
reconstruction, contending that the
power to determine that question be-
lOnged exclusively to the legislative
branch of the government.
From that moment the would-be die
tatOr hated Colfux. He found that he
had a man to deal with who could nei-
ther be bullied nor bamboozled. He is
now Kissing his whole puck of hounds
on the track of the faithful and fearless
Representative. When johnson was
swinging around the circle he stopped
in Michigan City, which is Colfax's dis
trict, to fire shot at him, and devoted
his time to abusing him. But A. John
son may join his "satraps," and stump
every township in the Ninth district,
aud he and they cannot come within
three thousand votes of defeating Col
fax. The loyal people of that district
hold the apostate and his "satraps" in
the profoundest contempt and abhor-
rence.-ChicGgo Tribune.

Now that slavery is abolished, the
three-fifth rule has, of course, to cease,
and the new apportionment has either
to be made upon the voting (white)
population; as the congressional
amendment provides, or upon the total
amendment is rejected, and the John
son party will have majority in the
next Congress, Should the amend
ment not be adopted, and the 241 MEM
bers, provided for by the act of 1852, di-
vided among the States according to
the total population, the South would
gain nine members, and the North
would lose nine. The ratio ofrepresen-
tation in this case would be 129, ,245, and

A CORRESPONDENT of the New Yorl

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Post calls attention to the title of ''Hfs
Excellency," which is beginning to be
given, quite generally, to the President
of the United States. This is bad taste,
not to say snobbish and vulgar. The
simple designation of his office is the
Presidents highest title. Congress
discussed the question of addressing
him by a title similarto the titles given
to hereditary rulers, and "His High
ness the President Of the United States
and Protector of their Liberties" was
proposed, but voted down. All official
communications from the heads of de-
partments and from Congress are ad-
dressed simply s'To the President of the
United States" To give him title
that is commonly assigned to magis-
trate of less dignity is not to elevate
the President. Ellis Excellency", is
the ordinary title of Governors of States
and sometimes foreign ministers. To
give it to the President, who outranks
them all, is very much like calling him
General or Admiral. 1t is better, at
least in official communications, to ad-
here to the simple and dignified. style
settled upon by Congress; and in better
taste in all communications.

Grand Union Rally of the Grand Army
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Gen.
Logan, Senator Wilson and Others.
CHICAGO, September 27.-The grand
est Union rally in the Northwest was
expected to take place at Rock Island
yesterday, under the auspices of the
"Grand Army of the Republic," but the
reality has far surpassed the most san
guine hopes. General Logan was the
hero of the day, and to him it seemed
to the soldiers impossible to do too
much honor. He arrived by the boat
on Tuesday evening, and was received
and escorted to his hotel with every
Unconstitutional enthusiastic welcome.
AT o'clock he was serenaded by mill
tary bands, and responded with brief
but very eloquent address. Three thou
sand veterans from Illinois and Iowa,
representing q large number of regi-
ments, were organized in military col
umus under the tattered banners they
had triumphnntly borne through the
deadliest struggles, and this splendid
brigade was formally reviewed by Gen
eral Logan, General Harding, General
Sickles, General Leak and Colonel
Bardsley in the presence of thirty thou
sand applaudiug spectators.
After the review the soldiers of the
grand army of the Republic marched
to their encAmpment in IL beautiful
grove, about n mile from the Court
House, on the Camden road. Camp
guards We're posted, and the different
regimentaL flags were unturled in u line
in front. 1t tho rear of the encamp-
ment the platform was erected, where
the speaking was to take place.. The
proceedings at the stand were COM
menced with a few introductory re-
marks from General Leak, who was in
troduced by Captain Blackburn, Chair
man. Captain Black burn then brought
up Gen. Logan, who presented TIE is
sues in detail in an hours speech of
marked ability. He closed amid the
most intense applause and enthusiasm.
After music, the Chairman introduced
Senator Wilson, from Massachusetts
Senator Wilson began by remarking
that little could be left for him to utter
after the speech of the distinguished
gentleman who had just spoken to
them, with whom they were in full SYM
pathy. He had been great in council
and great in war. There were n million
of soldiers ut home to-day before whose
arms rebellion went down; but rebel
lion, then conquered and PROSTATE, is
now as defiant against the Government
and principles for which we fought as
when the arch chiefs throne was in
Richmond. For this Andrew Johnson
is responsible. This is on the lips
of all patriots. 1t was. for Andrew
vote, that we deposed the true and tried
Hamlin. The Senator spoke for an
hour with solemn earhestness and
scathfng invective, and was vociferous-
ly appluuded. In the evening there
was a magnificent torchlight process
sion, and speaking by General Harding,
Colonel Beardsley, and others.
