80 The Apportionment Act.
The new CongressiohaH Districts to be
formed IN Tennessee under the IRE cent
Appropriation Act Of Congress, are nine,
instead of,eight as at pFesant. This Of
course, expunges, the present districts.
For the Western Division Of the State We
Suppose the new districts will be as fol-
lows - IiEGlHB A8Ti3sL I'll -s.ta ~
The First or Tie d iBth Wall be the
Memphis Congressional District q they
are now numbered from the East, TO the.
West but the better way wo1ld- be to
BEGIN at Memphis, and call this the First
district The ApRoFtionIaent Act has
enlarged the ratio Hf reprssen tati5h to a
fraction over I34, 00o,gand as the State Of
Tennessee is ientitle q to nine IN embeTs,
but will have, $4,000 inhabitants in ex4
cess Of the nine members, and not large
enough for member for tie State At
large, we will call the ratio in round fig
uFt,ss l35, 900 These figures, and those
we hereafter giEs, are for the present
purpose, snfieientlyE accurate. Now let
us see. how West Tennessee will be di-
yidsd. We suggest the following idi7i'1,
