.Y,,xy March 15.-The work of apportlonng
+he congressional districts of the State was oegun
nv the Assembly this morning. 1t is suspected
however that not much actual progress was
made although the bill ordered to a third reau
ing. The Senate Congressional ApportiohnenV
Committee is now laboring upon an Apporuohinen'
bin. and there is popular impression tnat 'o oo.
ote hill and not the Assembly Committees VIII
,,oa. Tho T,ecislature. The Assembly bill,
II is argued by leading Democrats, Is 700
fovorable to the Republicans. Ex-Judge
Nelson ]. Waterbury, of New-York' seems
4o he the chief of these critics He desires 50 "
cerrymander the districts in New-fork IVY ro'
ipstance that no Republican candidate tor
Congress can be elected. AS inc AS
sembly bill grants district TO lne
Republicans in New-York 1t is therefore nov
apnroyed of by him. He is using all his influence
,T;th tbe Democratic members of the Senate COM
nittee to persuade them to reject the Assembly piah
so far as New. York is concerned.
The Assembly Committee at its last meeting changed
the bill in some particulars. Foran unknown reason
the committee has chosen to specify the boundaries
of some OF the NewYork districts by streets nsseu
of by Assembly districts. The PHI as repOroS 70 10
