This arrangement would give forty dis
tricts, with forty-threo Senators-tbe same
number as under the constitution.
To illustrate the unfair and partisan char
acter Of tho present apportionment of the
Senate, it is only necessary to refer to the
fact that the city of Petersburg, with a pop
ulation Of 1850, is entitled to one Sena-
tor, and the county of Mecklenburg, with q
population Of o. one Senator while
the district of Frederick, Clarke and Shen-
andoah, with population of PIT, and
that Of Page, Warren and Rockingham,
with population of 81 500, have each but
one Senator.
The political complexion of the Senate
would be 80 Conservatives and 0 Radicals.
If in the election in November, 1871, the
Conservatives should lose the Halifax and
Richmond districts, and in the election in
1871 the Norfolk city, Nanaemond and
Pittsylvania districts, Che Senate would
stand rs Conservatives and II Radicals.
