The Legislature is COW engaged 10 apper-
sioping the membership Of the two houses, OF
which it is composed under the amended Con-
sttution. If this proposition is carried into
effect, the House will lose thirty two, aud the
Senate three members. We printed 10 full a
short time ago tie list Of the counties 10 which
the economizipg is to be effected, and whilst
we think it is wise measure, yet the proposed
legislative scyimpi0g, as far as this locality
goes, is most Notwithstanding and unjust, as
We shall plainly show. Upon what basis the
committed deprives this city and county OF
representative 10 the Legislature we cannot,
after much thought and thorough search
among the statistics determine 1t looks like
they cut UP and op of just as their caprice or fan
ey dictates for they have Delther law, logic, nor
facts to 20 upou Accomac and Nortbamp.
ton counties have ole Delegate. The value
of the lands 10 those two counties is. per Audi
tors report of 1876, So. $50 000 that Of Alex
andria city and county is $500. 900, paying
nearly double tha amount in the State Treas
sury, aud yet, it is proposed to reduce our rep.
resentatiou to one Delegate. Bedford county,
whose taxable lands are valued at 81, 209, 600,
and pays SIS. 400 taxes annually, with Vot.
ing population Of 4, 100 has, uuder this scheme,
two Delegates, while alexandria. which is tax
ed S., POT O6T. nearly double that of Bedford,
is to have but half her representation. Pit,syl-
yauia county, that pays $4,000 taxes. $4,000
olr;o hoo nalo potn HnlI
fax county that is assessed for sl6,0 600 in year.
IL taxes, s., 900 less than this city, is put down
for two Delegates.
We could 90 GU this way clear through
the column, hut the facts we have shown
ara amply sufficient to prove that the
committee have 40. attempted the new
superintendent on the score OF taxa
lion. That they have not done so, on the plan
Of popnlaiioo, VIC will also clearly show -
Washineton county, which polled in the last
Presidential election 2,94T votes has two Dele
gates HhiIc Alexandria, which polled 1874
votes, Only has one. Norfolk has 1926 votes,
being little 10 excess Of our city. ye: she has
two Delegates. Rockingham county has 2,SSS
voters. little more than half Of our city; still
it has t@o Delegates.
After this showing. no iair.minded man can
deny that great injustice is about to be in.
Aioted upon our mercantile and farming com:
muuity By the proposed change, and We trust
that this wrong will not be conSummated.
There is no doubt that the number Of legis-
lators is entirely 100 large, aud that reduction
would be advantageous to all interests, but let
it be made properly and in order, and If Alex
andria is to lose one Of her Delegates By such
proper reduction, she will not object.
