CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER of Illinois has
prepared bill for the reapportionment of
the population of the United States under
the new census. The result of the census
enumeration, giving the total population of
each State, will be transmitted to Congress-
by the Secretary of the Interior as soon as
the National Legislature reassembles. Mr..
Springer's bill will provide for a reappor
tionment on the basis of 293 members of the
House, the same number now provided by
law. The ratio of representation is obtained
by dividing the whole population of the
United States by 293. The approximate
statement of the total population of the
States and Territories made by the Census
Office last week is so, ,152, $50. The complete
returns of population when finally verified
will not differ materially from this estimate.
Deducting the population of the Territories.
the population of the States (estimated) is
49, 547,603. Dividing this population by 293,
the basis of representation proposed by Mr.
Springer, gives 1859, 1O4 as the ratio of repre-
sentation in the States alone. Including
the population of the Territories the ratio
of representation under Mr.. Springer's bill
will be one representative to every III, ,169
people in the country. Of course the official
returns OF the enumeration may change
this result. 1t is possible, if when the total
OF two hundred and ninety-three members
shall have been reached, two, three or four
large States have fractions nearly emitting
them to an additional member, such States
may combine in favor of an increase of the
number of Representatives.

The Governorship Again.

Our correspondent "H. A. J.'' forgets the
constitutional amendment of 1S64-permit-
ting soldiers in the field to vote-when he
sets forth the proper method of adopting
amendments. The amendment adopted in
September 1864, permitted our soldiers in
Virginia and elsewhere to vote for officers
chosen that year. 1t went into effect before
the Legislature had chance to enroll it.
Its validity is not questioned.
81. A. j." also misses the point the
PRESS made in regard to a decision by the
Legislature. If last September plurality
vote elected Governor in this State the
Legislature has no right to go on and make
a choice, for we already have a Governor
elect In our opinion the Legislature is not
called upon to consider the constitutionality
of the plurality amendment or to ask legal
opinion upon it. It should be considered
constitutional unless otherwise declared by
the Courts. There is no need to raise the
question. Equity, policy and fair play de-
mand that the candidate who received plu
rality of votes at the September election
shall be declared Governor. Failure to do
this will be most awkward failure for the
Republican party to excuse. ~

Mr.. Blaine in the Cabinet.

Mr.. Blaine's advancement to the Pramier-
ship Of General Garheld's Cabinet has for some
time been regarded as probable. 1t may now
be treated as a certainty. The information
which comes from Mr.. Blaine's closest friends
leaves little doubt that the position of Secreta.
ry of State under the new administration awaits
his acceptance, and little more that he will
consent to pass from tie Senate to the Cabinet.
Inc selection IS eminently fit and proper up
on both Political and personal grounds. 1t rec
ognlIes the rule that the Presidents advisers
should be chosen from the representative men
OF the party. Mr.. Blaine is the chief OF that
element which, failing to succeed with him,
turned and nominated General Garfield. Ur.
on every principle of political procedure he was
entitled to the first voice in the Presidents
council. Aside from his part in the nomina-
tlon, he is one of the foremost popular leaders
OF the party, and all divisions and sections will
approve ms appointment as an act of political
wisdom and personal acknowledgment.
The political reasons for the choice are sup-
plemented and fortified by his personal fitness
Mr. Blaine is statesman of the most versatile
Talents and the most varied accomplishments
II II II was thought that he was pre-eminent as
Speaker, he has added to his fame in the Sem
ate Ii it be thought that he is at his best in
the Senate, he is just as likely to develop a
new and broader career in the management of
our foreign affairs. 1t may seem in some re-
spects public misfortune to lose his readiness
audacity and brilliancy from the Senate; but
his bold and original mind will find ample
scope and make new ventures in the field of
diplomacy. His daring spirit will be prompted
to dazzling measures, and WILL on the other
hand, be tempered by the sense of responsible
ity. =
1t may be thought in some quarters that the
appointment of Mr.. Blaine will be offensive to
the elements of the party which have opposed
him. On the contrary we believe they will
commend its wisdom. The same principle
which selects Mr.. Blaine as the representative
OF that segment of the party of which he has
been the chief, will concede representative to
MIR. Conkling and his friends, and to other of
the elements which make up the great Repub-
lican organization. 1t indicates that all will
have voice, and that there will be the unity
and harmony of just and general recognition
The Administration will have the strength of
combining the strong men and strong ele-
ments. 10
1t will occasion less surprise that Mr.. Blaine
is offered the appointment than that he accepts
1t and leaves the Senate. But it is in harmony
with his course of steady advancement it
leaves an open field in the Senate for his two
trusted lieutenants, one of whom, without this
step, would be subjected to defeat and disap-
pointment; and if the politics of Maine be
somewhat precarious, it plants Mr. Blaine up-
on the rock beyond the surge of that uncertain
sea. fl O.. f- tHsr l... rer t.--Tr rr

The Maine Senatorship.


Our correspondent at Augusta sends us
dispatch this morning which confirms the
general impression, which we have gathered
from all sources, that Hon. Eugene Hale is
about to be chosen as the successor to the
veteran Senator Hamlin, who now retires
from active public life full of years and honors.
OF course the people of Maine have themselves
to please in this matter, and if it should final
ly turn tout, spite of the prophets, that Mr..
Frye is their choice, Republicans everywhere
will cheerfully recognize the strength of the
selection, and will not presume to question its
wisdom. And still we think we shall be ex-
cused by our friends in Maine If we intrude
upon their canvass now closing to repeat the
substance of some suggestions which we offer
ed more than month ago, and which, we OBJ
seyve, have commended themselves within
the last few days to the approval of many
leading Republican papers in various parts of
the country, and among the rest to the New
York Tribune, a paper which has the reputa-
tion Of enjoying the confidence of Mr. Blaine,
and rejecting his views. The Tribune, in its
issue of Monday, points out that the Republi.
can party has need of both Mr.. Frye and Mr..
Hale in Congress Mr.. Frye is already there,
and now an opportunity offers to put Mr. Hale
back there. Not only so, but it happens that
Mr.. Frye is one of the few really first-rate
Republican leaders whom the fortune of poli-
tics has permitted to return to the new House.
By death, promotion, or defeat at the polls,
the Republican side of the new House has
been deprived of far larger proportion of its
able leaders and strong debaters than have
the Democrats. Whether Mr.. Frye be elected
to the Speakership of the incoming House or
not,-and so far it seems to us that he has
more than fair chances of proving the strong
est candidate for that position,-his must
necessarily be one of its commanding pre-
sences. By shis experience in five successive
Congresses, no less than by his recognized
power as a debater, and his skill in parlia-
mentary TACTICS he cannot fail, even if he be
left on the floor, to be one of the most con-
spicuous figures of the Forty-seventh Congress-
1t has seemed, therefore, to u.s. and we believe
to Republicans generally beyond the range of
the local sympa thies of the contest, that the
most happy thing for Maine, and for the Re-
publican party nationally, would be the choice
of Mr.. 4 ale to the Senate, and the continuance
for the present of Mr. Frye in the House.
We speak now only as to the succession to
Senator Hamlin, leaving out the possibility,
which seems now to be probability, of
Senator Blaine creating second vacancy in
the upper branch by accepting the primacy of
President Garfields Cabinet. 1t case this
latter contingency should be realized Mr.
Frye might reasonably expect to receive the
elevation upon which he apparently sets more

"Brevity is the Soul of Wit
Albany Press.


The following amusing story, which was told
by Franklin, ought to be read and acted upon
by all correspondents communicating their
thoughts to the newspaper press. A young
man, ON commencing business, proposed to
paint over his shop window, "John Thompson,
halter, makes and sells hats for ready money"
to which was added the sign of hat One
friend suggested that, as he made and sold
hats, the word chatter" was unnecessary 1t
was therefore struck out and the sign remained
John Thompson makes and sells hats for
ready money" Another friend advised him
to omit the phrase ''for ready money" as there
would occur occasions for selling on credit; and
so the sign read: "John Thompson makes and
sells hats" 1t was then limited the buyer of
the hat did not care who made it, and that the
sign would be better if it read: "John Thomp-
son sells hats" But another amputation was
in store still, for critic pointed out the use-
lessness of the phrase 'sells hats" for, said he.
mo one would ever suppose that the hats were
to be given away for nothing" Thus at last
this aspiring tradesman commenced business,
like many worthy successors, under the modest
sign of John Thompson"

The Census and the States.

The census shows an increase of popula-
tion in every State and Territory of the
Union, and the number of inhabitants ex-
ceeds fifty millions. The total increase
since 1870 is over eleven -and-a-half millions
the largest absolute increase in any decade
of our history, though the average percent
agehas fallen off one-twentieth. New York
still stands at the head of the list and iusti-
fies her claim to the title of Empire State.o
Pennsylvania is still second, and Ohio third:
Illinois ranks as fourth, and Missouri as
fifth, Indiana as sixth, Massachusetts, sew
enth, Kentucky eighth, Michigan ninth,
Iowa tenth, Texas eleventh, Tennessee
twelfth, Georgia thirteenth, Virginia four
teenth, North Carolina fifteenth, Wisconsin
sixteenth, New Jersey seventeenth, and Ala
bama eighteenth. n
The greatest relative increase has been
made in Colorado. That bouncing Centen-
nial baby has gained $3.50 per cent. over its
population ten years ago. 1t is child well
worth the trouble of its birth. The largest
absolute increase is in Texas, which has
gained ,93o inhabitants. Itis not men
toned that the colonization scheme which
attracted so much attention in Portland
few years ago, has contributed materially to
this result. Pennsylvania has gained 76O,-
7S7; New York 7OO,414; Kansas 25,936;
Illinois 53S, ,745; Ohio 532, ,53S; Missouri

value than upon the possibilities of his future
in the House. Meantime, if Mr.. Hale is
chosen, as all the indications seem to point,
He will at least have the satisfaction of know
ing, if he is not elected, that ha owes his
failure to two causes, both flattering to him;
the fact that his services in the House are so
highly valued as to be regarded as well-nigh
indispensable, and the further fact that his
conspicuous claims to the Speakership have
diverted and divided this support which other
wise might have been given him, both in and
outside of Maine, for the seat in the Senate.
