DOMESTIC NEWS.
Conversational Representation Under the
New Census.
NEW YORK, August 22d.-The Worlds
Washington special, speaking of the Cou-
gressional representation under the new GEN.
sus, gives the following as the probable
result The effect would be, with reference
to New York, as reported by the Enumerat-
ors, to lessen the number OK Representatives
from 80 to 80. Pennsylvania would drop
from 90 to 81. Ohio would lose i,
making her representation -. Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont would each lose l.
Indiana, Alabama and Tennessee would lose
l each-a total loss of 10, Minnesota and
Nebraska each gain 2, Kansas 8, Texas 4,
and Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia,
West Virginia and California each L
a total gain of H. The other States would
neither gain nor lose. Placing the gains in
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Michigan and
California-in all against the losses Of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Indiana-in all s.
it would leave for the North and West net
gain of l. Placing the gains of Texas Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Virginia and West Viz
ginia-in all S-against the losses of Alabama
and Tennessee-each lit would leave
the South a net gain of 6, and
this comparison to cover the present
political status of the States named, and
emitting New York and Indiana as doubtful,
the States ordinarily classed as Republican
would have net gain of four, and those
classed as Democratic net gain of six. This
| might not mean an increase in the Demo
cratic majority, for, so far from that, that
majority might be wiped out in spite of the
showing but it would mean simply that the
States now considered Democratic would gain
| two more members than those now considered
Republican.
