The Census Bill Constitutional.

Mr.. EDITOR THUS far, there being no fur
ther development of the third division, l return
to the second, which claims that the bill is not
only unconstitutional but is not as effective in
point of time, &c. The constitutional objection
being investigated under the first division, there
remains to be noticed the objection in point of
time.
This objection seems to have originated from
the belief by some that the apportionmsnt could
be lawfully made in the Spring or early enough
to have the representation of counties in the
next Legislature according to an enumeration n
after the manner Of the Constitution. This is
the strangest objection Of oil. Whether it arose
from the desire to take from Charleston or to
give to up-countes at the earliest period pos
sible, cannot conjecture. The constitution
reads, as we have seen, that the representation
shall be made in certain proportion by net of
the General Assembly, at the session mmedi.
ately succ eeding every enumeration
According to this it could only be by an extra
session that an apportionment could be made.
so that each county would have correct rep-
resentation at the next regular meeting Of the
Legislature. This, however, could be done with
the United States census as the basis of appor-
tionment; for the United States census is
already taken, and if there were an extra ses-
sion it would only be necessary to use the
United States census and make the apportion-
ment as in the former casc.
Therefore, Mr.. Editor, will say of The bill
which makes the United States census a. the
basis Of ap portonment, that: 1s., 1t is conssitu-
tionai; I'd, 1t is effective in point of time Sd,
II accomplishes the enumeration at the least
cost possible; and 4th, 1t accompiishes it as
correctly as possible.
This writing about the constitution is not
only unnecessary but superfuous to the learned;
but it is not written for them, it is written for
the honest voter who does not know about the
constitution that he may not be misled by those
who wish to make political funds out of the
actions Of the last Legislature. NJ.

persons by sending them the paper on credit,

soon as they sold cotton. In nearly every in

for number in those neighborhoods to get
upon our books under the same promise, but
we regret to state the result has not been OF
