The effect of the tenth census upon the
House of Representatives is beginning to
be computed by enterprising Journalists.
According to the prevailing custom, the next
Congress will make an apportionment of
members under the new census. This ap-
portionment is made on the basis Of popu-
lation, the membership of the House being
set at fixed number, with a proviso that
whenever new State Is admitted representa-
tives assigned it should be In addition to
that gross number. Thus, by act Of Feb. 2,
1872, membership was set at 292,
the admission of Colorado bringing 1t up to
two hundred AID nety-three. The new
estimate Of the House Of Representatives
for the next ten years is as follows: If in
the next appointment the number of Repre-
sentatives be put at 300, and If we assume
the estimated returns Of the census 40, 157,-
4G4, to be about correct, the basis of repre-
sentatlon, as fixed by the forty-seventh Con-
gress, will be 163, 1858, as against basis Of

Ono OF the surprising conversions to
Gen. Hancock, especially to the "Old Iron
Brigade" is that of Capt. A. J. Langworthy.
OF Milwaukee. Capt. Langworthy was a
brave and gallant soldier, and, during, and
since the war, has been extremely radical in
his epublicanism-so radical that no one
knowing the character of the man allowed
possible. But the defeat of
Gen. Grant at Chicago, fol-
lowed by the nomination of the gallant Han
was revelation to Capt. Langworthy, and
he early arrayed himself under Gen. Han
cock banner Of constitutional govern
ment for all the people, and he is now presi
dent of the Hancock Legion of Milwaukee,
and doing earnest work in the good cause.
Capt. Lsngwortby's declaration has given
much satisfaction to his old comrades, who
have with great unanaminity espoUsed Gen.
Hancock's cause. 1t seems, too, to have
given especial satisfaction to Capt. Lang
worthy family, one Of whom, q. 81. La1 O.

father must rest with greater satisfaction in

Of the warriors who are to do battle in behalf
of the 'srperb' Hancock. He was my candi-
date before the convention which nominated
him met. and when he received 1T on the first
ballot, 1t made ME think that the convention
had at last taken comprehensive view
of the situation. That he will be elected there
is not q shadow of doubt. His majority in the
State will be enormous, and he Will probably
carry Pennsylvania and Ohio. His cause is
gaming strength every day, and comes from men

ton. have no mud To throw at Garfield; if q
turn of the tickle goddess Fortunes wheel
should elect him, have no doubt he would

parison. He will be inaugurated ON the 4th
day of next March. The fates have so de-

 Also that the public schools shall be kept 39 instead of 30 weeks in all districts having at least no scholars between 4 and l6.
 Every dog has his day. After be- ing legislated against and regis tered and muzzled year after year. we now have bill before the legislature making them property. It provides that persons who confne, secrete, or unjustifably kill register ed dogs shall be liable to the owners. MT.
