1t will be seen that while Vermont and
New Hampshire lose one Representative
each, Massachusetts, Indiana, Kentucky,
Mississippi, New York, Maryland, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Virginia, North and
South Carolina and Minnesota will each
gain one; New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Texas, Kansas and Wisconsin
will respectively gain two; Missouri,
Michigan and Iowa will each gain three,
and Illinois four. The States not here
enumerated will retain their present rep
reseptation. Geographically considered,
the West gains nineteen, the South
twelve, the middle States six, and the
East loses one. There are twenty-three
States whose representation will be in
creased; and of these, fifteen are Demo-
cratic, to wit: Alabama, Arkansas, Cali
fOrnia, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland, Missouri, New jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia. The gain of
members in these States will be nineteen,
leaving to the Radical States of Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Mississippi, South Carolina and Wiscon-
sin, the balance of the increase, or
eighteen votes. As, however, the Elec-
toral College of 1872 will not be based
upon the new appointment, the readjust-
ment of power will not affect the next
Presidential election.

The increase of population developed
by the census, and the geographical inc
qualities of that increase, necessitate
new apportionment of Representatives in
the lower house of Congress. The Judi
ciary Committee of the House have been
for some time considering the subject,
and they have finally agreed upon a re-
port recommending that the total number
of Representatives be increased from two
hundred and forty-three, as at present, to
two hundred and eighty. The committee,
however, had but two methods from
which to choOse-one to largely increase
the number of Representatives, thus
swelling the already unwieldy proper
lions of the House; the other to
largely increase the ratio of representation,
which would have shorn '1oyal New
England" of heavy percentage of her
strength and influence in the House. OF
course the loyal Committee on the Judi
ciary could not hesitate between two such
alternatives. New England, the land of
heavy Radical majorities, must be pro-
tected, though the heavens should fall,
and accordingly thirty -seven prospective
Congressman are summoned as by magic
into being, while beggarly ten thousand
in the way of population is added to the
total population required to secure Con-
gresham. By the last preceding appor-
tionment, the ratio of population was
increased from ninety-three thousand to
one hundred and twenty-seven thousand !;
and by the apportionment before that,
from seventy thousand to ninety three
thousand. Now the ratio of population
to a Representative is but one hundred
and thirty-seven thousand, while ten
years ago it was one hundred and twenty
seven thousand. Below we give table
showing the proposed representation as
compared with that at present enjoyed by
the States:

The more sensible Radicals of the
South are becoming disguised with the
talk about reconstruction. The Jackson
Miss. } Pilot, (Radical,) commenting on
a recent dispatch as TO the discussion of
Southern outrages" in Washington,
says: "The dispatch says that there is
great danger that it may lead to some
new measure of reconstruction. We
hope not. We have had reconstruction
laws enough. A Philadelphia lawyer
MORE learned than all his fellows-could
hardly find head or tail to them. We
have had reconstruction enough. Let
every one have a show. We believe in,
and will support universal amnesty, as we
always have intended, and still intend, to
support universal male suffrage"
