TnE great Mongolian tidal wave of
emigration is, after all, quite 4 differ
cnt affair from what the Hon. Eugene
Casserly. Mr.. koopmanschap and sun
dry anti-Chncse Californians would
have us believe. 1t is true that China
has 4 superabunant population; but
the Chinese are in no wise anxious to
leave their native land. Able-bodied
laborors are ready to comc to the
United States for 4 specified number
Of years, but only on condition OF
receiving such wages as will enable
them to return to their homes in what
they consider 4 condition of ait'uence.
Throughout China the California
standard of wages is we'll known, and
b. it the temporary emigrants regulate
their price-and they are adopts at
driving close bargains. As for our
political Institutions or religion, they
care for neither. They leave their
own land with the fixed intention OF
returning to it az Don Us they have
accumulated 4 certain sum of money.

FREE MASONRY SCOTLAND. Iu
a lecture recently delivered be fore the
New York Caledonian Club, on the
history Of the Scottish Free Masons,
it was stated that the first Lodge of
Masons was formed in Scotland at Xii
wenny, in the year 643 In 1880, at
the time of James L., Masonry in
Scotland began to assume its modern
form, and that monarch appointed
William St. Clair, his heir and success
ors, to be Grand Masters The in
stltution, however, declined, and be.
came almost extinct in 100. The old
members at that time relax ID the an
Gent rigor in reference to admissions
and initiated persons who were not
qualified Masons, and from this cir
cumstance the term Free and Accep
ted Masons, arose. The Order now
number over 100000 members in Scot
land, or more than two and half per
cent, of the entire population,

THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL AP-
PORTION MENT

The national census will be taken
during the month of July next, and
win exhibit the population of the
country on the Both day of June, 1870.
Hitherto only three-ffths of the whole
number Of slaves have been included
| in the representative population; here
after the whole population will be in
| Guided, save In such exceptional cases
as may arise under the Fourteenth
Amendment. Should, however, the
Fifteenth Amendment be adopted, the
whole number of the population will be
taken as the basis of ceprese ntation.
Previous to 1862 the whole number Of
Representative was fixed at 223, but
by act of Congress, March, 1862, the
| number was increased to 24l. This
excluded about 100000 of the popula-
ton IN the territories, AMI two-ffths Of
the slaves. If this number be retained
for the next decade, the south and west
WI gain largely in their representa-
ton, and the east will loose correspond
ingly To enable them to retain about
their present representation it is pro-
posed to increase the whole number of
representatives to 800 If this should
be agreed upon, careful estimate
shows that the New England States
would have 81 members under the new
appontment-the same as at present.
New York viii. have 4, Pennsylvania
4, New Jersey 2, and Maryland l.
The southern States, including Tenn
essee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, would gain from 20 to 25 mem
bers. The northwestern Statss would
gain about 70 members.
The Pacific States will probably be
able to show a poulation of about 9O0,-
600, which will give them Repre-
sentatlves, in place of the 5 they have
now.
Assuming that the aggregate repre-
resentatlve population OF the United
States will be, after June, 1870,
0,OO0, 600, and that the House of
Representatives will consist of 300
members, the ratio Of representation
will be, for the succeeding decade, one
member for each State by the ascer-
tanned ratio, and to allow an additional
member for each fraction greater than
a molety of the ratio. 1t is estimated
that the census will show a population
of 200, 900 in this State Ii the re-
suit sustains this estimate it would
give Wisconsin 9 representatives in
stead Of 8, as at present. We think it
more safe, however, to presume that we
shall not get but 8 representatives, if
the number be increased, aud not more
than 7 if the number be retained as at
present established.
The question when the new appor-
tionment shall go into operation has
been temporarily postponed by Con-
gress, but ere is strong disposition
on he part Of the western members 10
effect such an arrangement as viii per-
nit the people, at the election in 1870,
to choose the whole number to which
under the census, they may be found
to be entitled. We very mach doubt
whether this part of the western pro
gramme can be effected, but if it shall
succeed we shall have to choose our
extra members next fall, on general
ticket, or we shall have to have a called
session of the Legislature, about Sep
TENDER, to re-apportion the State into
Congressional districts.-PortGge Reg,
iSter.

DEATH OF Hon 5. F. HOPKINS
Sfon benjamin. Frantgin Honk;,e

EIon Benjamin Frankiia Hopkins,
member Of . ~ 5rcss, from this District,
died at his home, in the city of Mad
ison, Oh Saturday afternoon the Isl
iast. Mr.. Hopkins has been confined
&c afs house with a complication OF
diseases for several months past Sew
eral weeks since he was st ricken with
paralysis, and at first he was given ny
by his attending physicians, but being
possessed Of u strong constitution he
again rallied aud his friends enter
tanned some hope for hi 5 ultimate re
covery, although we believe his medi
cal attendants were always of the opin
len his sickness would prove fatal. His
death, therefore, was not wholly I'M
expected, yet the sad event has cast a
gloom over his home, and We might
well say, the entire district and State.
We learn that Mr.. Hopkins was
born in Washington, Co, N, Y, and
was aesrly II years at the time Of his
death lie was a self made man in
the true sense of the term lie re-
ceiyed but common sch 81 education
and came to Wisconsin twenty
years ago, engaging in business at
Madison where public attention was
drawn to him by his activity and
good business qualifications. He was
private secretary to Gov. Bashford, in
1856 and 81. In 1862 he was cleo
ted to the state senate, and served two
years and in 1866 he WIS member of
the Assembly. In the fall of 1866 he
was elected representative IN Con
gress from this district, and in 1868
was re-relectcd by m'jority of over
5000 woes.
slr. Hopkins could not be called prii-
liant, yet he was a man of fair average
ability, and possessed of a we'll balanced
mind He welded large influence
both in and out of Congress, not SO
much by any rhetorical efforts, as by his
popularity, emanating from his high
social qualities, and his easy pleasing
manner in his intercourse with his fellow
men.
Mr. Hopkins leaves no family ex
cept widow. who has the warm sym
ra.hy of Kind friends in her deep
affection.

e NOTHING IN THE PAPER. The
following from the Richmond E.cane-
iaer', on the subject of newspapers, is
rather spicy, and for those whom ii
hits, is not entirely without its
point: The article seems to be in
tended especially for those whom
maintain there nothing in the pa
per. 1t says
And men are always grumbling
about the papers, and insinuating how
much better they could do it. They
talk as fippantly about fine articles
on every imaginable subject as if they
could effect such change. Let some
of these over-running philosophers try
it for one hundred and fifty days in
succession.
And then they think it is nothing
to select for newspaper-you have
merely to run the scissors through a
half dozen exchanges. and you have
got matter enough. Now this is the
most d iiicul' department to fill on a
newspaper. Very few men have the
slightest idea how to do the work. 1t
requires thorough newspaper man
who knows the public appetite we'll
Eho knows what is going on in the
world-and who knows how to re write
and pack column in dozen lines,
d" Men who skim a newspaper and
toss it aside, little reflect how much
brains and toll have been expended in
serving up that meal. Busy heads
have been toiIing all day to gather and
prepare those yiands,' and some vast
building has been lit from cellar to
garrett, all night, to get that paper ready
for the newsboy, by crack of dawa.

in your head !! that's what's the mat
