APPORTIONMENT.
Important Reports before the Ohio Con
stitutiOnal Convention.
Advantages Of Communicative Voting
Some Nice Questions for Dis
cusSiOn.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 23.-In the
constitutional convention to-day a re-
port from the committee on appOrtion-
ment was presented. The report pro-
vides that an apportiOnment of the
State shall be made every ten years
after 1871, by dividing the whole popu-
lation by the number one hundred and
five, the quotient being the ratio of the
representation for the house OF repre-
sentatives. Every county shall be en-
titled to one representative, and every
county containing one ratio and a halt
shall be entitled to two representatives.
Every county containing three ratios
shall be entitled three representatives,
and so on, requiring full ratio for each
additional representative. The State Is
divided into ten senatorial districts.
Any county forming part of a senate
rial district having acquired a popula-
ton equal to tenth of the whole State
shall be separated from the others to
which it has been joined, and made a
separate district. No change of this ap-
pOrtionment shall be made until 1881.
In voting for senators, or in voting
for representatives in counties
entitled to more than three representa-
tives, each electOr may cast as many
votes as there are senators or representa-
tives to be elected; or he may distribute
the same, or equal parts thereof,
among such candidates as he chooses,
aud the candidate receiving the greatest
number OF votes be elected. The COVER
nor, auditor, and secretary of state, or
any two of them, shall ascer-
tain the correct ratio of representation
according to the decennial census follow
ing. The report was an argument sign
ed by DR.. Dorsey and s. +. Hunt, pre-
sentiDg the advantages of cumulative
voting. Mr.. O'COnnor presented q
minority report, the main features OF
which are single county districts for the
house of representatives and tive sena-
torial districts, each TO be represented by
one senator. All three of the documents
were ordered to be printed.

THE Republicans of Ohio are preparing
FOR the fall campaign, to be opened by
Governor Noyes, and Senator Morton,
Of Indiana. It would seem from this
that the administrationists mean to
make 1t hot reCl-hot for their opponents.
Morton is copfessedly the biggest gun
the Republicans now have in the west,
and by bTinging him into action so soon
ihey coT.fess an emergency we hope q
result favorable to the Liberals and
Dsnn.ncrafs will f1IIv indorse.

be estimated. 1t will probably reach
seventy-five thousand dollars. Nothing

JAMES, FORK, SEBASTIAN Co., ARK,
July 2l.-Crops are about a common av-
erage for this country. People have had
an over-stoek Of grass 20 contend with
this season, and nearly every body
planted about twO-thirds Of their crop
in cotton and the other third in
corn. We have had a very bad year
for farmers, being cold in the spring
1t planting time and a great deal of rain
since crops were planted, aad now it is
getting very dry, and corn crops are suf-
feTing for rain, having had none in the
last three weeks. Cotton, though, looks
well, and If we can get rain farmers may
look f5r a fair yield. The wheat crops Of
this section are splendid. The weather
Is very bot, and is getting dry very fast.
Health is good; no cholera this side Of
Little Rock. The people are anxious for
railroads. They want one 10 connect

PARIS, July 23.-The Carlists have
made a formal demand of France fol
the recognition Of their rights as bellig-
erents. The French government has
refused, and declares that it will remain

this policy it has forbidden the Spanish
republicans from sending suecor to Pu-

VERSAILLES, July 23.-The assembly

Proposition for Recognition Of Don
Carlos by France.
PARIS, July 23.-A proposition for the
recognition of the Carlists has been more
than once discussed in the French cabi-
net, and the Duke De Broglie is in favor
of treating with the government of Don
Carlos as the only power capable of per-
forming the functions of government in
Spain. President McMahon is willing
to accept the Duke De Broglie's views,
even if he were not himself compro-
missed by his promises to the friends of
Don Carlos, but the other members of
the ministry apprehend that such a
course would greatly excite France,
and tso glaringly countenanee and
recognize mOnarchical tendencies.
fhe Carlists, however, are confident of
early recognition, and are encouraged
by their recent successes everywhere, and
the general decentralization in Spain of
any power that could have opposed
them, and the dependency and hope
lessness that seems to have seized the
republicans. The Spanish government
requested permission of the French su-
thorities to take war material to Puy-
cerda from private vendors, by way OF
French territory, thus tacitly admitting
their incapacity to supply that place by
the route through Spain, on account OF
the Carlists. France refused permission,
and Puycerda will, therefore probably
fall,
