The ApportIOnment Question.

The u. s. House Committee ON the

ton over this subject properly belongs
10 them and not 10 the Judiciary Com
mittee, which has the same matter under
consideration, and viii soon act upon a
bill prepared by Judge Mercur which
proposes 10 fix the total representation
at $50 The following table which has
been arranged for the Census Committee
shows the population of the several
States, according to the figures Of Gen.
Walker, Superintendent of the Census,

in the House, and the number each would
have il the membership, of the House
should remain at the present number,
2il, or should be increased 10 $50, 275,
or 800 To understand this table IL must
be borne in mind that under the present
law the number of Representatives any
State IL entitled 20 is asoertained as fol-
lows The total population OF the
United States is divided by the number
of members of which the House is 10
consist. and this gives the basis Of repre-
sentation. The population Of the State
divided by this number gives the number
Of Representatives such State is to elect.
Where there is remainder exceeding
one-half of the deyisor, an additional
member is allowed.
