question thst we fear he will lose the confidence
Of his Democratic friends. He justifes General
Terry in summoning board of officers to pass
upon the claims Of members Of the legislature.
and others who are disqualified from holding
Office under the Fourteenth Amendment. He
regards the new law in reference to Georgia as
simply amendatory to the Reconstruction Sets.
and ne thinks that the State Legislatures should
commence to DO right just where they began to
do wrong. The Senators will hold the Office to
which they are elected. Gen. Terry, he saws, is
after no Office and General Sherman remarked
that when be discovered an officer running for
Office, or mixing in political intrigues, be e1-
pected him to resign. The General remarked
that after the South was fully reconstructed the
troops would have to remain to aid the marshsis
and the revenue officers. He feared juries would
not do their duty honestly. He closed the inter
view by observing that the officers charged with

NJ. Paine's bill for the apportionment Of
representatives in Congress among the seye-

hundred members ultimately 1t provides.
however, that if any State loses represen-
tatives by this apporuonment it shall con-
tinue to have the same number as at pres
ent until the end Of the Forty-second Con-
gress, which will be March 4. 1873. And if
any State gains by the new apportionment
the additional representatives shall be chosen
for the Forty-second Congress on a general
ticket. The result Of such an act would he
to give :hs Forty-second Congress considera-
bly, more than three hundred members.
After that Congress. several Of the New Eng

will probably lose a member. If the popu-

900, which seems TO be a reasonable esti-

Methodist ministry. he formerly preached in
indianapolis, and went from thst city to Missis-
sippi He has not been heretofore very prom
inen; in the politics Of the State He is nearly
forty years of age, and Of healthy dark-broEn
color, and is said, by those who know him, to
possess more than average ability Mr. Revel
has brother in Washington, formerly bar
Der, nov clerk in the Freedmeu's Bureau.
The election wss surprise to the Mississippi
Republicans, as, beyond locsl reputation at

State. The new Senator will be warmly wei
coined in the Senate by the Honorable Garrett
Davis and the Honorable Willard SALISBURY.
