Southern States. los los Western States, 90 90
The New England States will lose
four members and the Middle States six
members, while the Western States will
gain seven and the Southern States
three members.
There is loss of fonr members and
gain of six members in the States voting
for General Hancock. net gain of two
in States that may be classed as Demo
cratic; a gain of one in the doubtful
State of California; and gain of nine
and loss of twelve, making net loss
of three in republican States.
1t is apparent that the new apportion-
ment will make little difference in the
relative strength of the two parties,
though the change will be favorable to
the democrats, and that as between the
North and the South there will be a
slight change in favor of the latter.
Should any other basis of representa-
ton be adopted, the proportions would
be substantially the same, though midi
vidual States would be better provided
for if the basis of representation should
remain as at present, and the number of
representatives be largely increased.

II believe we have elected gentle
man who will bring to the presidential
chair more breadth of intellect, more
capacity for judgment, more matured
thought upon public measures than has
been brought to that Office by any presi-
dent of late years. He comes better
fitted and equipped at the start than
any other man whom we have placed
there. He comes under no obligations
to anybody. He is surrounded by no
clique, no set of friends, and has not
made promise or bargain. l haven't
the slightest doubt that we are going to
have an administration eminent, wise,
pure and just. and, better than all, emf
nently patriotic and Republican. y

and digni6ed position at the very head
of his profession and the best society,
and the further consolation of knowing
that under no other leadership, not even
of the angel Gabriel. could his party
have had the ghost of chance of sue
ceeding in the contest just over. He
did his duty this time, as he always did
in everything, and every one knew it.
He's satisfied, so is his wife, and SO are

Upon my word it's hard work find
ing topics outside of election matters,
which your RADIx strongly objects to
touching in these letters, SO I'll con-
clude. The country's safe once more,
and the sun of prosperity beams bright

make plenty of hay before another panic

A NEW APPoRTIONMENT.

Each enumeration of the population
of the United States changes the rela-
tive strength of the different sections of
the country in Congress and in the Elec-
toral College. The work of the Census
Bureau has been so far completed that
it is apparent that as the result of the
recent enumeration the Northeastern
States will suffer loss in representation
in Congress, that there will be gain
in the Northwestern States, and that in
the Southern States as whole the rep
resentatlOn will not be materially
changed. The number of Representata-
tives at the present time is 293, and
public opinion seems to be III favor of
making that the number of the next
appOrtiOnment. Assuming that this
may be the number fixed by Congress,
aud that the census returns from the

Those forgers and peEurers who got
up the "MOrey" letter forgery on the
eve of election are coming to grief
rapidly. They have been followed SO
hard that they acknowledge the crime of
false swearing in regard to the matter,
and are in Jail. awaiting trial. That
was one of the meanest political tricks of
the century. 1t was gotten up just at
a time when it could not be refuted in
season to prevent its effect in California
and Nevada, 1t turns out that it was
a deep plot to carry the election by this
kind of chicanery. Such things rarely
ever succeed.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Last week was very busy week in
the Legislature, and considerable work
was both undertaken and completed.
Among the bills lately introduced, was
one exempting capital invested in man
ufacturing business, including mining,
where more than $1,000 is put in, from
taxation for five years ten years if the
town shall SO vote. Several bills relat-
ing to the grand list were introduced,
and some important legislation on this
subject is liable to occur. A bill
was introduced by Mr.. Grout of New
port to annex the town of Salem to
Derby, and referred to a committee con-
sisting of the members from Orleans
County. The subject of female suffrage
is agitated, and Mr. Chafey of Albany
has introduced bill in the House, Civ
ing women right to vote in school
meetings. The attempt to repeal the
Insolvency law proved failure in the
House Mr.. Black of Coventry, has in
troduced a bill to prevent the putting
in Of sawdust, waste and other materi-
ais from the mills in Barton and Will
loughby rivers, to the injury of the fish
and the owners of land through which
these streams run.
A large number of petitions we're pre-
sented against running Sunday trains.
The interest question will be agitat-
ed, bill being introduced making any
per cent. named in the note legal inter-
est. An attempt was made in the Sen
ate to repeal the law giving bounty
on bears, but the repeal was not voted.
Mr.. Judevine of Hardwick has intro
duced BILL which provide that insur-
ancc companies shall pay the full in
surance stated in the policy, when the
property is totally destroyed. Mr..
Chase of Jay introduced a bill which
provides that prisoners may be trans
ferred from a county Jail, on their OWL
request, to the States Prison, and recov.
err for their services there, the sum paid
the state for convict labor in that in.
stitution.
A bill in the House provides that
the law giving the complainant or prose
cutting officer in liquor cases one-fourth
of the fine shall be repealed. A brisk
discussion resulted in the defeat of the
bill. A spasmOdic effort is being made
to reduce the pay of members of the
Legislature, which is liable to result in
talk. While the Montpelier people
hold board up so close to the per diem
there is little hope that members will
vote to make their pay less. 1t may b
that reduction Of pay would make /;

lords and boarding mistresses woulc

Frederick Billings has lately built new
chapel for the old Congregational church
at Woodstock, of which he is member,

the church in their lifetime. The chapel
was dedicated few evenings since, with
appropriate exercises, including an inter-
esting presentation address by Mr.. Bill

years old, and the present church ediice,

There is little change to make in the
report of the national election, since
last week, except that California chooses
five of the Hancock and one of the Gar
field electors. This was brought about
by the forged letter which put Garfield
in bad attitude before the people of
those states which are opposed to Chinese
labor. The legislature in that State is
republican, ensuring the election of a
republican to the Senate.
