Mr.. Hawley, of New York, opposed. In
case of the number of representatives in con-
gress, ne thought the house was air eady
large enough. He also pointed out that un-
der section 2 Of the fourteenth amendment
voters as well as members might be taken
into account in the spportionment Of repre-
seutatioD, and whenever any state denied to
any male citizen over the age of twenty-oue
the right TO vote, in his Judgment that
state should be denied representation in just
proportion in which it denied such right to
vote.
Mr.. Thompson, of Kentucky, said he was
in favor of increasing rather than decreasing
tho numerical strength oflhe house. Allu,-
ing TO the second section OF the fourteenth
amendment, he stated that it was utterly i'm
possible to enforce it by legislation or in any
practical way. He then proceeded to COM
pare the various spportionment bills, and
argued in favor of the msiority bill as being
the bost and fairest 1t is fair, he said, that
every state and section and any section should
receive any advantage from the appor.ionment
Advantage should be given to the south be-
cause that section had for ten long years been
deprived of fair representation.
Mr.. Horr thought an apportionment bill
founded on the last vote of the people would
meet the requirement of the constitution
much better tina! one based on the con Is
DO pointed out that on the basis of the st
vote the southern states were getting more
than their proportion of representative
Mississippi and Alabama, for instance, had
seven and eight, while on the basis of the
vote they would be entitled to only four anc
five.
Mr.. Hammond, of Georgia, suggested that
if Horr's plan was adopted, the best way
for the republican party to succeed il
Georgia was to refuse to vote at ALL and
thus reduce the representation from that
state.
Mr.. Horr-It comes 60 nearly to that
already, that it does not make much
difference. IN conclusion of his speech Mr.
Aorr said he believed the majority bill had
been drawn up for the purpose OF giving
the greatest strength to the south. For
one he was fully determined TO oppose the
measure.
A brief coloquy followed between Messrs
Horr and McLane, as TO The alleged crush
ing out Of the colored vote in the south, the
latter maintaining that since the election OF
Mr.. Hayes at least the negroes of
the south had voted as they pleased
The subject was finally laid aside and Mr..
King, of Louisiana introduced bill Rppro

community as an educalionist Of distinction,
and had the impsrtinsnoe TO make certain crti-
cisms on the recitations he heard or pretended
to hear at our Academy, you will please say to
that intrusive genius[?] that his ideas on the
subject Of perfect rscitstions must be Of extreme
crudity. Indeed, it is difficult to say which is
greater. bis ignorance or his presumption.
Had his attention been less occupied by his own
fancied superiority he could not have failed to
perceive that, with o few unimportant exoep-
tions, the performance Of tho young lsdies--girls
indeed was about as perfect as could bs. All
that palaver about being nice e.looking and lady.

THE Corfox Caors--1ssO, lssl.-New York,
April 15.--Dradstreet will publish tomorrow q
summary Of the cotton situation with regard to
both the ol and new crops down to the close Of
March. The port reports and overland move-
ment for both ,48l ,346 bales against 4, ,959,
l94 for the same time last year, an excess Of
522, ISL. ...-
Estimating receipts for this season the same
~ last year gives . total yield for the crop .of
1881 Of ,283, 40S bales. As yet there are NO.
indications Of any sudden falling OF in receipts.
The stock at interior towns is no less than year
ago. Port receipts for the FIRST twelve days In
April have been SO 900 more than for the Same
time last year. Estimating the probable increase
of receipts during the remainder Of the year
the total yield 10 placed at 6, ,422, 900 bales The
opinion Is expressed that the present enormous
consumption Of cotton by mills will still further
increase IL. $40
Regarding the outlook for the coming crop
the report says that planting is about fifteen days
later than last year. In some regions operations
are fully month late. Fertilizers will be used
moro than heretofore. notably 30 in the Caroli-
mas and Georgia. The present indications are
that the cotton acreage as compared with last
year will show some increase in the Carolinas,
Georgia. Florida aud Texas, while there will
probably be no change in Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas.

Tho Atheistio Tide.

On our first page will be found very able and
interesting article under the above heading, to
which we invite speciil attention. It is .
vivid exhibition Of the growth Of atheism oil
over the world and makes q strong appeal to or.
thodox christians to grid on the armor of Faith
and bravely stem the torrent Of skeptcism and
unbelef which is now swelling to such alarming
proportions as to threaten the growth of our
churches and ths progress of true christianity.
While we are still firm in the belief that God
will continue His protecting care over the
"vine Of His own planting" we also believe it
to be the imperative duty Of every christian to
guard the outposts Of their religion beliefs with
unfnching and unremitting zeal and watehful-
ness.

But Jonesville still has moral stamina enough
in It to save II from such fatal results. Already
some Of the best men in the County are speaking
Of locating here, and our town Is improving.
Wehave . sober, intelligent, church. going peo-
pie, and during the hours Of religious service,
we have the very best Of order and attention.
Our Sabbath Schools are well officered, and were
never more prosperous. The day school, taught
by Miss BAILr. Is also in thriving condition.
She is certainly q very efficient teacher. have
never witnessed better order and discipline in
any school, and she deserves the patronage Of the
community at large.
I find no spirit OF extortion in our merchants;
they are kind, gentlemanly, and accommodating;
their motto, rs far as have been able to sec, Is
''live and let live
Our farmers are all industrious aud attentive
TO business; at this time all are as busy rs bees
and no doubt but they will be successful.
