Apportionment.

The Boston Journal says that the Appor-
tionment bill passed by the House has been
entirely reconstructed by the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the Senate. They have reduced
the whole number of Representatives 10 two
hundred and forty-three; first setting aside
four Representatives for the four States Of
small population. They have then divided
the population of the remaining States by
two hundred and thirty-nine. Under The
new apportionment Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
will each have one Representative less than
at present, while New York will lose two. =
The Advertiser says: The Senate judiciary
committee reported the apportionment bill
to-day more for the sake of getting the matter
back into the hands Of the Senate than be-
cause they are very positively in favor Of the
reduced number Of representatives. II il
considered doubtful if the bill passes the
Senate in its present form and almost impos-
sible for it to carry the House. 1t IL now
likely that the number of Representatives de-
termined by the House bill or one very near
it will be finally agreed upon.
