Cox,s Proposed Rearnortlonment.

COx's Proposed BeSppOrtionment.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Cox making
on apporlionment Of Representatives under
the new census provides that after the third
Of March, 1888, the House shall consist Of
sol members. The present house contains
29S members, and therefore an increase of
eight Representatives is proposed.
The process for determining the number
of Representatives TO which State is EMIT
led is very simple. The whole representa-
tive population of the country is first divid.
ed py 3Ol, to obtain a ratio OF representation.
Then the population of each State is divided
by this ratio. The requisite number of
members not being obtained in this way,
additional members are assigned to the
States having the largest fractions of ropu-
lation.
Without pow discussing this reapportion-
ment scheme in its various bearings, let us
see what changes il would effect in the rep
resentation Of the different States.
The following table gives the present
number of Representatives from each State
and the number which would be allowed
under Mr.. Cox's bill;

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS France, Jan. l. 1881.
The first LOT of engineers and other gentle
men, forty-eight in all, connected with the
cutting of the Inter oceanic Canal, left Paris
last evening, en- route Tor Panama. M. de
Lesseps, accompanied by several friends,
took leave of the travellers at the st. Lazare
Station. All seemed in a state of the great
est enthusiasm, and the train left amid re-
peated cries of "Vive La Franeel' "Vive
NJ. de Lesseps p The party left st. Nazare
this morning in the Lafayette, the vessel
which took out the first explorers, and after
wards NJ. de Lesseps with the Technical
Committee.
NJ. Louis Blanc was taken i'll after Blan-
que's funeral yesterday and his house was
to-day beseged by eager inquirers after his
health. Although he was still seriously in
disposed this morning, the accounts are
much more favorable to. night.
NJ. Paul de Cassagnac, having yesterday
broken lance on behalf Of Ciprani, the
Italian, who has just been expelled from
France for taking part in political demons
tratons, the IntransigeGnt Indignantly de-
elares to-day, that it does not want any
Bonapartist allies. 1t sees in NJ. de Cassag-
nae "the incarnation of its hatred in the
past, aud begs him henceforth to count him
self among its enemies in the present. OPP
pOrtunism and Imperialism are one and the
same thing. Go, Monsieur de Cassagnac,
Gambetta is holding out his arms TO receive
YOU" NJ. Paul de Cassagnac thanks NJ
Henri Rocheford's journal for its disnterest-
ed advice, but asks its permission TO write a
letter before he throws himself into NJ. Gam
betta's arms. In an amazingly cynical ar
| tiele, he brands the Extreme Radicals with
being the lean ones of the Republican party
and predicts that if ever they get into Office
they will grow fat and lazy like the rest.
i "Among you the lean alone have principles,
and that is the very reason why they are
lean. The fatter they grow the faster do
their principles evaporate." M. de Cassag-
nae admitted that he voted for the Pinary
Amnesty and defended M. Rochefort against
M. Gambetta, and M. Cipriani against NJ.

there never could be any sympathy between

At q meeting held yesterday at the Elysee,
NJ. Jules Roche held forth as the champion
of the "Revolution against Religion" He
advocated the separation of Church and
State, the suppression Of the stipends allow
ed to the clergy and declared that it would
be every pleasant for the city Of Paris to re
ceive $50 900 600 annually, a sum that could
be derived from the religious edifces devot-
ed to the Catholic faith, which was not re-
cognized by the people" NJ. Roche, how
ever, patronizingly declared that he was moi
one to prevent people "from believing in, oi
dreaming of God, Jupiter, or Mahomet"

We therefore find that, while the old slave
States would make a net gain of six Repre-
sentatives under the reapportionment pro-
posed by Mr.. Cox, the gain in the rest of the
country, taken as a whole, would but two.
That is, though the West would have eight
more members, New England would lose
three, New York two,and Pennsylvania one,
while New Jersey would stand as before,

1t will be seen that the changes Of repre-
sentation under this scheme would be by no
means so great as were anticipated before
the figures of the census were made up.
Nor do they occur where they were expect
ed. Instead of losing Representatives, the
South gains them; and the Western States
alone among the Northern States will have
greater number.
Classifying the States into the old slave
States, the Middle States, comprising New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the
New England States, and the Western
States, including all the West, we find thai
their gains and losses under the propose,
apportionment are:

The interest in the composition Of the
next Cabinet, says our Washington cores
pendent, increases as the time for its ap-
pointment approaches, 1t is intensified by
the activity of the various statesmen who
expect or desire to be called into the councils
of the new President, and by the many
rumors concerning the expectations and de-
mands OF certain leaders, particularly Sena-
tor Conkling. OF course great deal that
passes current touching this point is specu-
lation and exaggeration, if not downright
invention. 1t is conceded that Mr.. Blaine
is to be Secretary Of State, and this selection
is received with satisfaction in all quarters.
The general impression is that Blaine will
be the ruling spirit of the Cabinet-the
premier. His well known positive charac-
ter and dashing policy, coupled with the
more moderate and cautious spirit Of Gen
Garfield, gives promise of brilliant results
a strong foreign policy and wise admins
tration at home. Mr.. Conkling, they say
demands a Grant man and New Yorker
for Secretary of the Treasury, while Genera
Garfield is credited with purpose to ap
point western man, rendering the Wa
Office portfolio or the Postmaster General
ship to the man selected from New York
This is reported to be unsatisfactory to Nj
Conkling. Whether this is actually tn
situation am unable to say with any de
gree Of positiveness, for what the real view
and purposes of the President-eleet are, ca
be known only 10 the few be has consulted
The past unfriendliness between Mr.. Conl
ling and Mr.. Blaine is supposed by some
stand in the way of perfect accord in th
arrangement Of a new administration, III
idea being that, if Mr.. Blaine leads, M
Conkling will refuse 10 follow. But all til
Republican leaders, including the Me-
York senator, are anxious for a successlI
and harmonious administration, aud
think the predictions Of rupture will PROV
upiounded.

Two murderers were executed in Phila-

that the Saviour was crucifed on Friday,
and that "one of the collateral evidences of
this is that since that time executions have
been succsssively performed on that day.
"When," continued the clergyman, "the
Governor OF this Commonwealth for some
reason chooses to change this order of things
aud appoints executions on Thursday, do we
not see that he breaks the continuity of his
torlc evidence aud weakdns so far the glory
