Representation.

Il is believed that the National House of
Representatives, according to the bill now be-
fore il will be composed Of $50 members IN
der the new census By the addition Of 40
members the House will not be made too
large, and the changes will be more Sa,isfac-
tory than can otherwise be had. With $50
members population Of 137 900 will be re-
CURED for each member. and the only States
losing will be New Hampshire and Vermont,
which will be reduced to two members each
Illinois will make the largest gain, four; and
Michigan, Ohio and Missouri will gain three
each; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia.
Wisconsin, Texas and Kansas will gain two
each; and Massachusetts,, New York, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Mississippi, Minnesota and
California will gain one each; Maine, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and the other States no,
named above will stand as at present. New
England will lose one vote in the House and
consequently one in the election of President:
the Middle States will gain siI; the South
nine, and the West nineteen. The political
power Is passing and must pass from the East
to the South and West. Upon many questions
the South and West more in accord than
the East and West or the East and the South.
Their great interestis and must be agriculture,
and pursuits in mining on the Pacific; the
great interests of the East will still be in man.
ufactures. In the Middle States, New York
concentrates the greater portion of the foreign
commerce Of the country, and PENNSYLVANIA
has the most important production of coal,
which has been calculated to be of more value
than the gold and silver products of the Pa
cifc States and the country west of the Rocky
mountains. The South and West are fast in
creasing in population, wealth and power; and
the knowledge of these matters has a tendency
to create feeling among the people of the
East that reforms will eventually be introduced

not meet with the hearty concurrence of the
parties who have hitherto directed the affairs

STAMPS commissioner Pleasanton has
lately decided that, in stamping deeds, the
market value of the stock should be taken as
the consideration, without regard to the par
value Of the same. In cases where the mar
ket value of the stock can not otherwise DO de =
termined, the actual value of the property con-
veyed must necessarily be taken as the basis
upon which to determine the market value of
said stock, and such deeds must be STAMPED
accordingly with fifty cent stamp where the
consideration is $500 or less, and fifty cents
for each additional $500 or fractional part
thereof. Internal Revenue officers In Cali.
fornia, Nevada, Utah and Arizona have been
instructed that the penalties prescribed by
law must be enforced in all cases of violation
in the above particulars.

LAND GgASTs.-Tbe Nation. in a very eabo-
rate article on land grants, collates some facts
OF interest. The total area of the United
States is, in round plumbers, 1900 millions of
acres; of which only nbout one-fifth, or 400
million acres, has been reduced to private
ownership. Four-hftb are still at the disposal
of the United States. The entire area of
land given away by the United States, up to
the close Of 1863, was 1856 million acres. The
lands for which the United States issued pat
ents last year amounted to about 500, 900
acres, four-ifths of which were for cash sales
and homestead entries; while the whole
amount certified to corporations was less than
100000 acres. 1t appears that the total sales
made by all the railroad companies and other
corporations, including town sites and lots,
amounted in year to less than ne.eighth Of
the area of land sold by the Government. At
this rate it is shown that it would require $50
years for the existing companies to dispose of
their lands.

PENSIONS TO BE INCREASED TWENTY PER
CEsT.-A bill passed the United States Senate
on January 23d, no one Directing, giving to
all pensioners by the late war an increase of
20 per cent. over the amount they now re-
eeive under the existing law. Mr.. Edmunds.
who introduced the bill from the Committee
on Pensions, said that all the evidence tended
to show that great suffering exists among a
very large number of those now drawing pen
sions, and that appeals were constantly COM
ing in to give an increased pay in special
cases, but that the committee was of the
opinion that the law ought to be made univer-

FIGHT AT IHE STATE PRIsoS.-A desperate
fight occurred at the State Prison on Monday,
says the Gold Hill News. A prisoner named
Russell attacked Hefferen, who was sent there
from Elko county. giving him two cuts in the
arm and one severe and perhaps fatal one in
the breast. Both prisoners were concerned il
the break that took place on the 1st of Deem
Der last, but Russell failed to stand in" and
do his part. Hefferen has consequently held a
deep grudge against him ever since, which
hnally eliminated in the desperate affray above
related. Hefferen's principal wound is a very
Tad one, and may terminate fatally.

has been received:
The Commissioners have arrived here from
SANTANA Bay. Every one connected with the
party Is in excellent health. A lack of coal
ing facilities detained the ship six days at
SANTANA. The Commissioners found the in
habitauts Of that peninsula very generally ia
Jorable TO annexation. A full investigation
was made into the ownership, and showed
that no United States official was connected
in any private transaction there whatever.
Fabens and associates and O'Sulliran have a
perpetual lease, at a nominal price. of all the
available water front for large vessels around
the harbor of SANTANA. No valuable minerals
are In that section. The Commissioners
landed here this morning. and were formally
received by Bsez. Mr.. Wade explained the
character and object of the commission TO
Baez, who gave them a cordial welcome.
Baez said that peace and a stable government
would follow a union with the United States.
The people were all anxious for a union Of the
two countries. He expressed the hope that
the Commissioners would examine all classes.
and promised TO extend every facility.
