The basis of representation has been considerably
changed since 1850 by the results OF the and Ivy
1860 only three.itths OF the slaves reckoned
the basis OF representation, while they VIII all
be reckOned, the same as the white population.
This Will tend increase the number Of representa-
tivCS from the Southern States The fourteenth
amendment to the constitution VIII give much
trouble In taking the census, ana work numerous
and unexpected results In arranging the number OF
representatives rom the several States. This
amendment provides that II persons, class Of
persons, IN any state are DISTINGUISHED for any
cause except for rebellion other crime such per-
sons shall be deducted from the population IN such
State in arranging the basis of representation. 1t
Is found That In large portion OF the States certain
persons or classes OF persons are disrancnised, 80
ttlat this CONSTITUTIONAL amendment VIII give much
unexpected trouble.
1t is supposed that the population OF the country
by the next census VIII be not far from 40 100000.
II this Is the number and the number OF representa-
tlyes remains at 24l the ratio will be little
mains rs at present New England must lose several
representatives. The population OF Rhode Island
VIII not be far from 100000 30 that this State cannot
expect more than one representative ana as no State
can have less than one, all the changes and deduc
tions that can be made under the fourteenth amend
ment or under the fifteenth II 1t shall be adopted,
can make no difference with u.s. We have no
interest IN them SO far as relates to representa-
ants from 1850 to 1860, and WIN probably
show considerable loss from 1850 TO 1870,
on account or tho losses in the war; She now
fraction in the census OF 1860. Her population ia
the basis IS ISL ooo she viii hardly get more than
one representative for the next ten years. New
Hampshire WIN hardly get more representatives
than Vermont, and 1t Is probable that II the appor-
tlonment law remains as at present every New Eng
land State and IN fac oil the older States, will lose
some representatives.
An effort will undoubtedly be made to change the
law OF 1850 and though that law was intended 10
guard against the excited discussions Of the subject
IN future the whole subject Will be reopened when
the returns OF the census Of 1870 shall be received.
IL Is plain that the only amendment of the law that
could benefit the New England States would be one
which should increase largely the number OF mem.
bers OF the House OF Representatives, And even
that amendment could hardly do more than enable
these States to retain their present representation
without hoping for much Increase.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY In BOSTON.
sfnn Aged Sixty-nine Years Beats His
Wire's Brains Ont with an Axe.
From the Boston Herald, Nov.


1t has been several months since downright MUIR
der was committed within the precincts OF our CITY,
occurred that was characterized by the atroclty
which marked an event OF this character In South
Boston last evening. Tho occurrence we have TO
record was perhaps the more lamentaole because
the actors in the tragedy were old people, verging
upon the sunset OF is ana it is sad to think they
could not have lived out their days In peace.
The afiair occurred about nafpast six O'Clock last
evening" In Silver street. South Boston. At No. 90
OF that noroughfare have lived for some time an Old
man named Edmund Healy ana his wife, Mary. The
man Is sxtynne years OF age, his head full OF white
hairs and his physique quite robust. His vile
was but nine years his Junior, and together, at the
place mentioned, they kept small grocery, this be-
ing In the front part Of tie basement, which Is part
above aud part below the sidewalk rus basement
was divided into two apartments, the front being
used for the store referred to and the back part for
kitchen and bedroom combined.
Just how the quarrel commenced viii never be
known unless the murderer tells the story, for there
was no one present at the time IL occurred. a son
of Healy, a young man twenty-ono years old, hap.
pened into the store at the hour named, and hearing
q noise In the Kitchen looked In there, when y
shocking sight met his gaze. Ills mother was lying
blow VIC on the head with an axe. The Young man re.
strained his faith r from further violence, Dnt he
came too late, for already had the hoary-headed
murderer piled the weapon until his wife's head was
q mass OF shapeess Jeily. Not O piece OF skull as
large as human hand was vlslpie, anu Do0a ana
After taking the axe an Old rusty and blunt instru.
ment with a long handle, away from the CID man,
the son. Ia the faint hope tna some spark Of life yet
remained in the body OF his mother caused physt-
clan to 10 summoned. DR.. Ingalls, responded, and
subsequently DR.. tCor0ner wilson. But they could
do nothin9 US death was probably the result OF the
first blow.
Word was sent to the police station and officers
Dresser and Bragd0w went over 10 the house. They
found Heay In the ironr shop. looking as cool and
unconcerned as II nothing had happened The news
OF the tragedy had spread through the neighborhood
and a largo number OF people had gathered ABOUT
the premises to learn tna disgusting details.
Healy was at once arrested and taken to the lock.
up on the way he was asked why he did the deed,
aud he replied that pts wife aggravated him and
that he had often told her he would Kill her sooner
or later. Ho also said that lie was vexed because
she had been going with other men. heaiy did not
appear to he under the influence OF hquor, nor did
ne manifest ANY regret for the crime he had com.
mitted. The axe, dripping with gore, was secured
as evidence, and the young man Heay was locked
up US witness.

upon some arbitrary standard, the result OF the
compromise OF the various conflicting Interests
IL became evident that with the growth Of the
country the House of Representatives would become
too large Tor The WORK OF legislation and ty the law,

tionmenr was changed, and the whole number OF

represent as well a. tho number of representatives
from each stale, to be fixed by each census.
In the census OF 1860 1t was found that this law
operated unlustly. Thus the ratio In the whole
country was l27o 900 Inhabitants to each representa-
tive; but IN Rhode Island, If the law had remained

AssRlCbn INSTITUTE.

The Poly.cchnic branch OF the American Institute
met last evening At Cooper Institute, DR.. Chambers
prcsid.ng. After the discussion OF various methods
fof producing perfect combustion in furnaces; OF
the influence Of electricity the corpusces OF the
blood and Of the several means employed
for envelopng steam boilers and pipes with
nonconducting materials, the chair stated that
the regular SUBJECT for the evening-the aurora bore
alis-would be postponed until tins next meeting In
consequence OF the absence Of DR.. Vanderwine who
had intended to be present TO reply to the theories
OF Dr. Hall. The chair said he would suggest Two
points however, which seemed TO entirely olsprove
Dr. Halls theory that the aurora borealis was pro-
duced by solar light instead OF magnetism.
First that the beams Of the aurora borealis
were shown by the polarlscops not TO be poiarized
as in the case OF the reflected polar rays; and Sec
ond. that the rays OF the former, examined By the
spectroscope, did not reveal In the spectrum the
same lines az solar light Dr. Bradley also briefly
addressed the meeting IN relation to the connection
or magnetic storms with the aurora boreaiis, to
which Or. Hall replied that he was prepared to meet
all these points, ana should do so whenever the
presence OF Dr. vanderwine afforded the opporru-
nifty. MIR. Boyd Illustrated, by means OF mnia-
ture vessel and q mirror, the phenomenon OF the
mirage, and the meeting adjourned Tor two weeks.
