The object Of the Democrats infavoring the
reapponionmcnt of Representatives 10y the
present House is to fOrestall the next Con-
gross, which might possibly diminish the
number of Representatives from some of the
Southern States under the article of TIE Con
stituton which provides that when the right
10 vote in any State is denied to any of the
citizens, ''Or is in any way abridged, except
Tor participation in rebellion, or other crime,
the basis of representation therein shall be
reduced in the proportion which the number
of such male citizens shall bear to the whole
number Of male citizens twcnty-one years
of age in such States" 1t is well known
that not only at the last election but for half
dozen years previous the right to vote of
hundreds of thousands Of men in the
South was abridged by the Use Of
fraud, persecution and violence in q
number Of States. In this connection the
Providence Star gives some suggestive
figures. The population OF Georgia is esti-
mated at ,540, 900, and its total vote at the
900. Only one-tenth of the population are
voters therefore, or else considerable num-
Der of voters did not go TO the polls and have
their votes counted. Kansas, with n popu-
latiOn of |, 100 900, cast 200, 900 votes OF, in
other words, there was one voter in every
.. OF the whole population. In Georgia
the percentage of the voting population to the
whole population is %; in Kansas it is
Il fraction over Is. Docs anybody actual
ly believe that the number of legal voters in
Georgia is $1,000 less than in Kansas, the
total population of which is at least 400,
900 less than that of Georgia Or does any
one suppose that, assuming the ratio of
voters in the two States to be equal, 122, 900
voters in Georgia voluntarily stayed away
from the polls. Georgia sends nine men,
bers to the House of Representatives, while
Kansas has but three Alabama, which cast
about 1j2, 900 votes, has eight Representa-
tiycs Arkansas, with total vote about
one-half rs great as that of Kansas. sends
four Representatives Mississippi, which
cast and reported only III, 900 votes, sends
lust twice as many Representatives as Kan
sas with her 2OO, 900 votes and South Caro-
lima, which allows only 1.O,00O votes to be
cast and counted, sends five Representatives

The M,rm1ns on the Message.

! The Presidents suggestions with reference
to the Mormon question meet with favor,
/ everywhere outside of Utah. The MOrmons
/ profess TO he not greatly disturbed by them.
/ The Dcseret Atl-s says that So far as the re-
| concentrations concerning Utah are con-
unrlsinr>s and that they are too impracti
, cal and I'M American for serious consideration
! by statesmen The Mormon HeJHH saws
Whatever there may be that is wrong or
unlawful in this territory must be cured by
lawful and regular methods no extreme
measures. especially such as are monsrous-
ly vicious. wicked and unlawful in them
selves will accomplish anything. Congress,
perhaps, understands this, if Mr. Hayes does
not. We need have no fear of provisional
government for this territory, nor that $780,
900 persons in this and other territories
against whom the President raves will be de
privcd OF any more of their rights" The
Salt Lake City TriGule- the Gentle organ
SAYS:
The Mormons look with horror upon the
proposition TO have Congress revoke II clause
of the organization of the territory and to
govern ii in way which shall compel obe-
dicncc to the laws of the L nitcd States. They
call this retroactive proceedings. They seem
To forget that the object is to attack Il prac-
tice which has been dead among all civilized
peoples for 900 wears. 1t was suggested by
the cunning founder of the Mormon faith in
order To- minister to .hc lusts cf cmhruled
men. 50 tar rs the power to do rs the Pres
hcnt suggests is concerned, the territories
are mere creatures of the Federal Govern
mcnt. 1t can grant, revise or revoke an or
sanic act Us it peaSes, and can prescribe the
form of government which shall prevail
Whether the people at large will indorse
severe measures toward Il particular territory
depends SOLELY upon the condition
of affairs in that territory. The
Mormon sect in Utah has increased until
they have become a menace tu free inStitu-
iiuns in the West. Perjury is taught rs II
virtue whrh necessary To- evade the laws,
and a system rs drspOtic and savish rs ever
prevailed in MOhammedan countries is swift
IL becoming II tremendous power here. The
truth Is, the time has come for vigorous meas
ures. Ii Is certain rs anything IN the world
that were pulvgamy abandoned nine out of
every ten Mormon women in Utah would
praise God. Polygamy has embruted men
enough and broken hearts of women enough
To Justify any means 10 destroy it. Hence
We rejoice nj the Presidents words and shall
look after Congress 10 see whether hereafter
the corruption fund of the Mormon church
can prevail any more in Congress or not.
The plan suggested is legal one, easily
effected and the only peaccable one
