their real numbers. For instance, the ratio
in the present House Of Ill members. based
on the census of 1870, would be one member
to about $500 souls.
In the present House St. James has one
member. Under new apportionment, based
on the census Of 1875, st. James would have
at least three MEMBERS Madison, in place
Of one member, would have two; Tensas, in
place Of two, would have three; Carroll
would have fraction large enough to give
her three members in place of two; ST. Mary
would have three members in place of two;
Morehouse would have two in place of one;
Ascension would have three in place of two,
and other Republican parishes would SINH
larly increase their representation. There is
no doubt that this is deliberate plan to
purposes, and to prevent the Democratic
party from obtaining that influence in the
State government to which their numbers
entitle them.
The Convention should demand that this
attempted outrage be averted, and it can be
averted only by firm and determined action
on the part of the House of Representatives.
The House should consent to no apportion-
ment based on the fictitious and fraudulent
returns of 1875 and, without such consent,
an apportionment cannot be effected This is
an important question-one Of the most i'm
portant indeed that will claim the considera-
ton of the Convention and of the Legisla-
ture. The Republican leaders must be made
to understand that the Democratic party re-
quire fair election and fair apportionment
in 1876, and that they viii not submit to any
suppression of their votes by partisan return
ing boards, or to any diminution of their
just representation in the General Assembly
through the operation of false census returns.
They have no design to assail the rights of
their adversaries, and they will not submit to
any violation of their own, either through
the machinery of partisan laws, or otherwise
The more speedily and the more thoroughly
the Republican leaders learn to recognize and
appreciate this fact, the better it will be tor
all parties.

THE CENSUS AND THE APP0RTION.
MENT.
now offer.

We suggested Thursday that perhaps the
work of the coming State Convention might
be judiciously reduced to certain objects ca
pable of precise definition, and of embodi.
ment in some clear and prac ical policy. We
referred particularly to the popular demand
for an essential modification of the registra-
ton and election laws, and the total abolition
of the Returning Board system. There is
another point to which the Convention ought
to direct its attention. We mean the fraudu-
lent census under which it is the purpose of
the Republican party to make an apportion-
ment by which the representation of the Re-
publican parishes will be SO vastly augmented
as to assure permanent Republican majority
in the General Assembly.
The taking of that census was continuance
deliberately planned as supplement to the
Returning Board system-an expedient to
suffocate the voice of the people under the
forms o.. the Constitution and the lava pro-
ject to suppress the will of the maj ,rity by CIV
ing to the minority representation out of all
proportion to their numbers. A few Instances
taken from the census returns will illustrate
the nature of the fraud which the Republican
managers are attempting to perpetrate.
The census of 1870 gave the population of
st. James parish as 10, 152. The census of
1876 makes it 20, 100. Nobody in his senses
believes that there has been an increase of
one hundred per cent, or of twenty-five per
cent in that parish. The same may be said
of Madison, which had $500 in 1870, and is
credited with 1909 in 1875; and of Tensas
which had II, 4l9 in 1870 and is now credited
with Is, $40; and OF Carroll which had 10. ITO in
1870 and now returns 16,497; and of Ouachi-
ia which then returned population of H.
$50 and now Is, 1886. With few exceptions,
such as St. Landry, this preposterous falsifca-
ton Of the census is confined to the Republi-
can parishes. The obvious design is to give
to the minority, or to the Republican party
whether in minority or not, representa-
ton in the Legislature vastly in excess Of

THE MAYORS MESSAGE-THE CITY
BUDGET.
Editor N. 0. Bulletin:

Editor N O. Bulletin:
The Republican has several times during
the last six months taken occasion to praise
the Republican party for reducing our State
take. by repudiating portion of the State
debt. 1t at the same time has never omitted
an opportunity of reproducing the Demo-
cratic party and the Property Holders Union
with having maintained the excessive tax
alto ndemanded by the City Council, and OF
not having made any effort to have them re-
duced. This is all hypocrisy on the part of
the Republican, and is only intended to make
political capital for the party that supports it.
The City Council has been SO trammeled
by State legislation that if the Council ad-
hered to the letter of the law they would
have to levy tax of per cent for 1876.
The City Council proposes by their budget
to reduce the tax next year to Ii per cent,
allowing large appropriation for police
and schools.
But the Mayor proposes to take the "bull
by the horns" AID asks the Council
to refuse all appropriations for the schools
and police until the city can get the control
of both.
The Republican objects to this, and en-
deavors to manufacture popularity for the
Republicans by pretended advocacy of the
schools
Should the Mayors message be fully in
dorsed by the Council, as it is by public
opinion. it will not have any immediate
effect either on the schools or police, as the
present taxes of two and half per cent is
tor the year ending 31st December, and there
will be no income from the taxes of 1876 IN
til the Legislature has time to repeal the
odious laws. and have the police and schools
placed where they belong, under the city
government.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
n p g
