The question is, whether, in making the
app0rtionment law, the number of mem
bers in the House shall continue to be the
same as now, and the ratio of population
to each increased, or the number of mem
bers increased to three hundred and new
ratio adopted. If the number of members
are to remain the same, the ratio will have
to- be increased to 100, S22, which enables
an estimate to be made of the comparative
gain OF loss of the several States. Accord
ing to this system of apportionment, the
six New England States will lose six mem
beers, of which Massachusetts loses two,
Maine holding her own. The four Middle
States will lose seven members, of which
New York wilflose four and Pennsylvania
AthFee, New Jersey and Delaware holding
their own. The thirteen Western States
VIII gain fourteen members, Ohio losing
ono, and the fourteen Southern States gain
four, North Carolina losing one.
This will be the commencement of a
great Change in tho administrative policy
of the General Government. 1t will give
the first shock to the predominence of New
England opinion and influence, which a
rev more CENSUS returns Will contribute 10
bury in the grave of the past. We of the
South can receive little benefit from such
changes as long as neither our feelings nor
urintcrests are represented in Washing
ton. But we feel great consolation in be-
lieving that the day will come, though we
will not live to see it, when the broad, rich
plains of the SouthNwill TEEN with, a brave,
intelligent and wealthy population, whose
voice shall be heard and respected, whether

exist. "A

Union of the Hibernian Societies.

We have had for some time several
Hibernian Associations in our city, the
main object of which has always been of a
benevolent, charitable character. The sick
among the members were attended to, and
their wants relieved, while the widows and
the orphans of those who died were not
forgotten. Social advantages were also
looked forward to; that men originally
from the same land, or their children who
have learned to love its memory and its
name, might meet together; become ac-
sometimes hard struggle of life. 1t has
occurred, however, to the longer heads
among the Associations, that if all of them
were united into one, the sphere of their
operations would be enlarged, their means
of doing good would be increased, their
influence and prestige as a society would
be of n more elevated character, and their
capacity for the work they always had in
view more effective. We understand that
this union has taken place under the name
of the Hibernian- Benevolent and Mutual
Aid Association, and under this organiza-
ton they hope to aid each other, give a
helping hand to the sick and the needy,
and extend their care to the widows and
the orphans of departed brothers. To in
aUgurate this union of the various branches
of Aibernian associations under one grand
central head, not only for the benevolent
purposes already stated, but also with a
view to reVnite aud rejuvenate the Irish
element in our midst, great social gather
ing is announced to be held on the 5th
proximo, at Odd Fellows Hall.
We feel satisfied from the character of
the men at the head of the various branches
and also of those comprising the central
organization, that the festive arrangements
of the evening under their supervision will
be complete success. The proceeds are
TO be appropriated to charitable purposes,
and will be the meaDs of feeding many a
fatherless child and bringing comfort to
the home of many poor, heart-broken
widow,
This union of all the; societies in one
meets our decided appreciation so fully that
Yeintend to avail ourselves of some early
occasion of giving our views as to the
great advantages that must result from it.

The Next Census.

From late interesting Washington3etter
in the Baltimore Southern Metropolis, we,
find the estimates on which we base the
following remarks. -'-.~-r-,-- "
The question of the census is becoming
one of exciting interest in Congress. The
New England and the Middle States mem
bers are affected by the comparative loss
of strength to which their States will be
subjected by the largely increased popula-
ton of the Western States, and are DESTROYS
of staving off the apportionment bill; while
the Western members are anxious to secure
for the next election all-the advantages
that the bill holds out to their section.
An estimate has been made in one of the
executive departments at Washington by
one of its most careful statisticiaus, which
will be found to approximate very closely
to the census returns when taken. We
give the estimated table for the population
of the States:

quested to announce the death of Joseph
A. Lamberts Esq, who died the Sd inst,
in Stockton, N. j., after an illness of some
eight weeks, Mr.. Lambert was married in
this city, on the 9th of July last, to Miss

believe while in our city he was the chief

relations and friends, and no doubt will be
much regretted by the company with whose

vicissitudes of Trade in the South.

We are Indebted 20 MI. D. Webster,
manager, New Orleans, for the Annual
Circular from the Office of the Mercantile
Agency, January, 1870. This Annual is
brief review of the condition of trade gen
orally throughout the country during the
last two years, and its probable prospects
in the future, and contains a table of the
number of failures, and the amount of liza
hilities in each State in 1868 and 1869. We
select from the table most of the Southern
States, which are here given:
Failures for 1868, and 1869.
The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1870-01-16

We also give short abstract from the
remarks
The results of the years trade have not been,
on the whole, satisfactory. The great bulk of
business men have added but little to their
surpll Is some have barely held their own :;
and, with rigid valuation of assets, the ex-
ception is to ind those who have increased
their available capital. In the latter category
must be placed those whose interests have laid
largely in the Southern States. The trade in
and front that section of the country has not
only largely increased in volume, but has be-
come profitable, safe and satisfactory. The
reaction in a war-devastated, poverty stricken
country, with disorganzed state of labor and
an almost hopeless political condition. was for
a year two tardy as to Iced to mRch dis
appointment; but it's very hardness is pledge
OF its stability; and ths~s1bstantial results
which have been achieved in the South in 1869
are not only marvellous in themselves, but full
of promise for the whole country for the
future These results, 80 far the trade of the
year is concerned, have impaired silver lining
TO what otherwise would have been n dark
cloud. Fore turning from this section of the
country, the business of the year elsewhere, as
before observed, has not yielded anything like
- fair return, in view of the capital employed,
the volume and extent of trade done, or the
capacity Engaged.

- HE IRISH ELEMENT IN THE CoUNCH---An
English Protestant paper has been struck with
the great preponderance of the Irish element
in the Council of the Vatican. Showing ''the
undying Catholic spirit of the Irish nation.'
We quote:
One, perhaps, of the most striking of the me-
m0rabiHH in connection with the Vatican Coun-
ell is the numerical strength of the English
speaking element of its constitution. To none
more than to the English speaking prelates
themselves has their unexpectedly great num-
her caused such Interesting SURPRISE; collected
together in cOnncil they represent an enormous
Catholic community, and reach to the astOnish-
ingiy large number of nearly $50. As have
already mentioned, twenty of these come from
Ireland. Anether striking feature and per-
haps one of the most gratifying to the people
of Ireland, is the extraordinary prevalence Of
the Irish element in this aggregate of nearly
$50. Thus from the United States of Auierlca
the number of pTelates present for the Council
is AZ, and of these % are Irish either by birth
or by descent. From Canada the number pres
ent Is TO- and 5ef these are Irish by birth or
parcntage. From Halifax, three of those now
in Rome belong to Ireland whilst there are Two
or three other bishops here, besides DR.. Brady,
Bishop of Perth, whose diocese i DIP not know
From Australia the five who n0Aw here have
Celtic blood flowing through their veins, and
from the Cape of Good Hope, in the person Of
DIR. Grmley, we have an lrishman. III VIII
thus be seen that of the English speaking
bishops nearly 40 represent, in one way or an
other, the undying Catholic spirit OF the Irisn
nation and constitute in their entirety as mnch
as nearly one-tenth of the deliberatiye wlsdom
of the Council. The remaining portion OF the
number, exclusive of the English and scotch
'hierarchies consist of foreigners, who have
been sent out TO English speaking districts, ane
have acquired by residence there sufficient
knowledge of the English language to enable
them now to call it their own.
