TnE conduct Of the majority OF the
Senate Committee on Privilege aud
Elections, in delaying their reports as

graceful in the extreme. Louisiana
has no representation In the Senate,

Special Telegram to tho Galveston News.
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. Is, 1877.
Gen. Ord left to day for Austin.
The mass meeting called for
tonight to indorse Hayes South
ern policy was largely attended by
substantial citizens Of the city.
Judge Thomas J. Devine was
elected President with 13 vice
Presidents, lin commemoration of
the original l3 States,] and two
secretaries, and a committee of
seven on resolutions was ap-
pointed, with Judge Welder as
chairman.
During the absence Of the COM
mittee the meeting was addressed
by Judge Upson, who eloquently
indorsed Hayes's Southern policy,
it being democratic policy which
the Democrats since the war had
vainly endeavored to inaugurate.
He was followed by Hon. J. H.
McLeary, who in forcible language
indorsed Judge Upson and alluded
to Mexican affairs, and stated that
the time might very shortly come
when Texas might be called to in
dorse Hayes not alone with reso-
lutions and speeches, but with
their blood. He hoped, should
this occasion present itself, that
Texans would rally to the defense
of the glorious American flag.
The Committee on Resolutions
here reported the following resolu-
tions, which wero unanimously
adopted, after speeches OF ap-
proval by Walder, Dwyer, Gen.
Barnes, Terrell and COPELAND
RESOLVED, That we, tho citizens
of Bexar county in mass meeting
assembled, regarding good gov
ernment as above party considera-
tions, take pleasure in expressing
our approval OF the Southern pol
icy of President Hayes, which, as
thus far developed, we understand
to mean equality and justice, and
restoration of local self-govern-
ment to all the States /; and which
has re-established peace and fra
ternal relations among the people
of the Union.
Resolved, That the efforts of the
Presidents administration in the
matter of civil service reform de-
serve and should receive the hearty
commentator of all good citizens,
believing as we do that the success
of these efforts will lead to a return
to the better days of the republic.
Resolued, That. as citizens of
Texas, we rejoice at and feel CRATE
ful for the determination to protect
our western and northwestern
frontier against the depredations
of savages and desperadoes from
a foreign soil.
.Resolved, That copy of the
proceedings OF the meeting be for
warded to our able and efficient
representative in Congress, the
Hon. Gustave Schleicher, who is
requested to present the same to
the President and to tender 10 him
in our name an invitation to visit
our historical city of San Antonio,
where he will receive cordial
welcome.

The Coming South.


Times foresaw second rebellion
in 1880. This is how it was to
come about: By the Fifteenth
Amendment to the constitution of
the United States, the South
gained large increase in repre-
sentation in Congress, and a con-
sequent increase in political power
and influence.
But in 1856 would come the
United States census, and new
apportionmeut of Congressman
and, the Times predicted, the
South would lose considerable
number of Congressman, while the
Northern and Western States,
thanks to an increase of popula-
ton, would have relatively larger
representations in Congress than
in the previous decade.
The South would dispute this,
and the moment an attempt was
made to cut down its representa-
tion and political power and infu-
encc, would inaugurate another
revolution.
1t is hardly probable that the
Times dismal vision will come
true. Instead Of the South losing
representatives by the next census,
it is much more likely to gain
them.
A number OF States took CEN
suses in 1875, and the showing
then made aas as follows
Three Western States-Iowa,
Wisconsin, and Michigan-popula-
ti,n in 1870, 1888, 789; in 1875,
1921, i'll. Increase, Is per cent
-Four Middle and New England
States - Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, New York and New Jer-
sey-popu'ation in 1870, $685.
$50 in 1875, 7,623,972. Increase,
81 per cent.
Three Southern States Louis
lana, South Carolina and Missouri
population in 1870, 3,153,916;
in 1875, 3,766,023. Increase, 20
per cent.
General increase in oil the
States, Is per cent.
1t will thus be seen that the
Southern States taking a census of
1875, increased in population
much more rapidly than the rest
of the Union and twice as fast as
the Middle and New England
States and this showing is made
more emphatic by the fact that
Louisiana and South Carolina
were the most unpromising of
Southern States, being then under
Radical rule, while New York,
New Jersey, Iowa and Massachu-
setts were particularly prosperous.
Had Pennsylvania, Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont been
enumerated in the census they
would have shown a positive loss
of population.
If the relative increase in popu-
alton Of these various divisions
continues the same from 1875 to
1880 that it has been from 1870 to
1875, and Congress is not in
creased in numbers, the South |
will be entitled to LIS, instead of
LOG members of Congress, while
he representation OF the West will
'emain at a standstill, and that of
he Middle and New England
states fall from 95 to 81.
The course of population moves
outward. In days passed by it
vas different; Virginia then peo-
lied Ohio and Kentucky, and sent
