If Professor Elliou's estimate is fully Sils-
tanned, the population OF each of these dl-
VISIONS should be slightly increased, the
Western States and the Territories the most. 1t
is possible that the allowance made for recent
increase in Texas and Arkansas is too large
but the gain IN those States and in Western
Louisiana has certainly compensated in part
the retarded growth of older southern states.
If new appOrtiOnmcnt were to he made
upon the present population, there would be
little difference i'll representation between the
South AMI the West. if those estimates are
correct But the Western States are growing
much the more rapidly, and within thc eighteen
months rcmaining of the decade it Is probable
that they will considerably outstrip the former
Slave States in population, and secure larger
representation than any other section.

A curious report comes from Washington relative
to the bill which has been framed and reported by
the Ways and Means Committee to protect the rev
enue from frauds in sugar Ii Is stated that eight
ont Of the eleven members of the Committee now
favor this bill. one who voted against
1t, Mr.. Kelley having changed his views;
but that Mr. Fernando Wood is the obstacle
in the way of the consideration of the bill by the
House. inasnuch as the objection of a single
member prevents the naming of day
for that purpose. 1t is also sad that the OPP
ponents of this legislation are Boosting that
no bill of the sort will pass this Winter Inasmuch
as this measure the result of six months earnest
study of the subject by the Committee, it wOuld
seem to be act OF gross dIscOurtesy, to say the
least, on the part of any member to cut it off, by
his sin Gle act. from hearing; and from no member
would such action come with less prOpriety than
from tie member whose position at the head Of the
Committee of Ways and Means should make him
peculiarly Jealous in defence of the revenue.

Plans that Divide the Demo-
cratic Mind.

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette of Monday, says that the
Democrats are still unsettled as to the
course they will pursue after the veto of
the legislative bill. The following plans
each will have their active supporters
in caucus: it
The first is to pass the appropriation
bills pure and simple, issue an address
to the country, which Proctor Knott has
ready, and adjourn $3.50. s.,sl...,.
q The second is to pass joint resolu-
tion continuing the appropriations on
the basisiof those last year, until Janu-
airy 1, renew the struggle at the next ses-
sion if the fall elections favor the Demo
Gratis, and abandon it if the Republicans
are successful.
The third plan is to pass the legisla-
tive bill divested of all extraneous legis-
lation excepting the jurors test oath and
let the army bill fail
| The fourth plan is similar to the fore
going, except that instead of permitting
the army bill to fail outright it is pro-
posed to impose such, conditions upon
the use of money appropriated as will
restrict the transportation Of troops and
prevent the President from moving them
at pleasure. ra estt'

Provisions Of the silver Coinage

The following is summary of the pro
visions of the Silver Coinage bill-knOwn
as Warner's-passed by the House last
Saturday afternoon after long eontin-
ued contest:
1t fixes the weight of the standard sill
yer dollar at 4121s grains; authorizes
the owners of silver bullion to
deposit the same at any mint to be
formed into bars or standard dollars
makes the charges for coming such bull
lion the difference between its market
value in New York and the legal tender
value of the coin; makes subsidiary sill
yer coin eXchangeable at the Treasury
for legal tender money to the amount of
twenty dollars; makes the standard sill
yer dollars legal tender in all payments at
their nominal value requires the Treasu-
ry to pay out silver coin without dis
elimination the same as gold coin in Ii
quidatiOn of all kinds of coin obligations
against the Government, and authorizes
the issue of certificates to depOsitOTs of
gold or silver coin or bullion; also au-
thorizes the issue of certificates (repre-
senting coin in the Treasury in payment
of interest ON the public debt, both class
es of certificates to be receivable in pay
ment of duties on imports. The certifi-
Gates for bullion deposited are to be for
its average market value in coin of like
metal during the preceding week in New
7 York and San Francisco. The gold and
silver bullion deposited is to be coined
to the full capacity of the mints Gn con-
nection with other COINAGE; and if the
bullion deposited for coinage does not
amount to S2,O00,OOO per month, the
Treasury is to purchase sufficient silver
bullion to coin that amount. The act is
not to be construed as authorizing the
coinage of silver except into the STAN
dard dollar.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Tuesday was an important day in
Congress, the House, after defeating
Forts amendment to Warmers silver
bill, making the price at which silver
should be bought for coinage its market
price, securing the difference between
the bullion and the coin values TO the
government, passed an amendment max,
ing the cost of coinage this difference
which accOmplishes the same purpose
The greater part of the day in the Sen
ate was taken up in a desultory colo
guy between Senator Whyte on the
floor and Senators COnkling, Window
Edmunds and HOar in their seats, on the
states rights question, followed by a
discussion on Louisiana politics between
Senators Jones and Kellogg. A vote
was finally reached on the Legislative
bill, the measure, with the Democratic
political sections, passing by a vote OF
27 to 81. The bill will not reach the
President before next week. The Sen
ate adjOucned till Thursday to attend
the Pimlico races.
After vain attempt in the House on
Wednesday to make some advance du-
ring the morning hour on the bill to re-
peal laws relating to the transfer OF
cases from state TO federal courts, the
Warner Silver bill was again taken up
It's managers tried to have the Marsh
amendment struck out, but were defeat-
ed by four votes. Several other sections
of the bill passed. when, on reaching an
Objectionable feature, the Republicans
refused to vote, leaving the House with
out quorum. Mr.. Warner finally &C
cepted the temporary defeat and moved
an ad; o Irnment.
The House again refused on Thursday
to dispose of the Warner S:lve. bill.
Whatever the Republicans now wish to
oppose they can effectually by re using
to vote, leaving the House wirhouo a
quorum. In that way they prevented
progress with the Warner bill and the
bill relating to federal and stare cou, Is.
In the Senate the question of interstate
transportation of diseased cattle occu-
pied all day, several Republicans point
ing out that the bill gave-unwaf:antable
power to the federal government, and
inierfered with state authority.
Tine House was in session until early
Friday morning, entertaining dilatOry
motions and avoiding a final vote on the
w dTleI silver D-l. Lie hepuUllCdUS
refused to vote on the previous ques-
Ion, leaving that body without a quo
rum. Jl the Senate Friday, the bill re-
lat 'ng to contagious diseases was dis
cussed and carried by large majority,
althOI II many senators doubled its
,tut;onality on account of inter-e-
renee with states rights. In executive
session it was decided that the Senate
has tight TO confirm nominations to
armv promotions.
The House remained IN session Fiji
day night until o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and then adjourned, leaving the
question of the Silver bill in syatu quo.
Upon reassembling at noon NJ. Warner
surrendered, and voIe was taken on
Ryan's amendment, which was defeated
by large majority. The Waroer bill, las
amended, was then passed, without
discussion. The House coDcu,red in
the Senate amendments to the Leg;sla-
tive Appropriation bill, and it was en-
crossed and sent TO the presiding Off
Ger of the Senate. XXX

himself one of the most earnest and in

lature-aud his votes have invariably
been on the right side.
And now all that our Democratic

appreciation of the statesman from

reelection. That's the ticket to put in
the field by all means, gentlemen. Let's
