The Number of Houses in Richmond.
We have often wished to know the num-
Der of houses in Richmond. Much might
be learned, or at least inferred. from
knowledge Of their number.
IL was DAVID, we think, who was pun
ished for taking census OF the lsraelites.
The people Of the southern States OF this
Union failed to establish the government
of the Confederate States because the
United States census reports had inform
ed the northern people that the South was
far inferior to the North IN resources-in
men and money.
The Lost Cause" would never have
been lost if the northern people had not
known just what they had to overcome in
order to maintain the union OF the States.
But for facts derived from the census they
would never for one moment have enter
tanned proposltionto conquer the South.
So there is much virtue in statistics. II
thus appears that the defeat of the south
ern people in their attempt to set up a
government OF their own, which has been
attributed to so many different causes,
may also be attributed to the census re-
ports.
We are not joking, but speaking in all
seriousness. Everybody who reflects upon
the subject must reach the same conclu.
sion. SroNEwALL JACKSON said that mys-
terry was the secret of success in military
matters. The mystery that would have
enveloped tho southern States but for
UNCLE SANS census reports would have
prevented that old gentleman from ever
setting foot across the Potomac or the
Ohio.
Anyhow, we should like to know how
many houses there are IN Richmond-tha'
is to say. whether our people are well.
housed or not. Baltimore, as our tele
graphic columns showed Yesterday, ha'
learned these facts for herself.

Norfolk and Richmond ApI

Norfolk md Richmond Apportionment.
Editor Norfolk Landmark:
have observed IN the editorial columns
OF two recent editions OF the Landmark
expressions of surprise at the fact that
under the reapportionment bill passed
last week by the General Assembly, which
has been subsequently signed by the Gov
ernor, the city Of Norfolk gets no increase
of representation in the House of Dele
gates; and in your issue of the 22d instant
you say
"Why Norfolk should have but two delegates
and Richmond five under the present appor-
tionment and census is a question that we are
not able TO answer. We know OF no reason for
it,"
As one of the present representatives OF
the city in the Legislature and member
of the House Committee on Privileges and
Elections. which committee, in coniunc-
ton with the corresponding committee of
the Senate, prepared the apportionment
bill which you seem to criticise, permit
me to say that you are mistaken in think
ing that Norfolk has not received her
proper representation and full quota
under the law, and TO demonstrate by a
few figures that this il true.
The number of members in the House
of Delegates, both under the present law
and as provided by the recent reapportion-
ment, is one hundred the population of
the State by the census OF 1890 is 1885,
$50 this gives as the ratio of representa-
ton one delegate to each 1859 of popu-
lation, and that ratio was accordingly
adopted by the committee in preparing
the bill wherever it was possible to do so.
The city of Norfolk has by the census OF
1890 q population of 34.S7l; the city is
given by the reapportionment-law the
same representation that it has at pres
ent-two delegates-which representation
corresponds in accordance to the ratio
stated TO 99.11s of population, Just 1,759
| less than the census population.
In order to have had third delegate
ASSIGNED it the city should have had 1856
more people than the 93,118 necessary fol
| the two delegates, or at least something
approaching the overplus of 1859; instead
| of which its population overruns the num-
| Der necessary for two delegates by only
| 1853.
The representation of Richmond under
the new law. with which you compare
| that of Norfolk. is as nearly arithmetically
correct as is possible under the conditions
which surround the problem of reappor
tionment. That city is gwen five delegates
by the reapportionment law; its popula
ton by the census of 1890 Is 1888. from
which it will be seen that, in pursuance
of the ratio stated above. it has suficien
population for four delegates, anC
Is, 1852 people to spare; this amount of ex
cess clearly entities it to another delegate
Being satisfied that your editorials wer
based upon q misapprehension as to tn
facts, I feel no hesitation in asking you T.
publish the above explanation.

New York Le0islature Democratic

NEW OTh It&&SlnNhAO ON1~O~~NN~'
The practical effect of the decisions rem
dered at Albany yesterday by the New
York Court of Appeals is TO give the con-
troll OF the State Senate to the Democrats.
They had the House already. Now for the
first time in great many years they have
the Governor and both branches OF the
Legislature.
This means reapportionment for men,
bers of the General Assembly and for Con-
cress. and that New York is in the Demo-
CRITIC line TO stay.
Mr.. HrscocK will be succeeded in the
United States Senate by a Democrat and
New York's electoral vote in 1892 Will be
for our nominees for President and Vice
President.
No doubt the Republicans will snarl,
kick and threaten. but what can they
do2 They denounced Governor Hill and
demanded that the courts should deter
mine the questions at issue. Well, these
are decided now. Where will they next
turn for help? Will it be to the Returning
Board, over which Hull presides, or to the
Senate with SHEEHAS in the chair? lnge-
NOUS and INSCRIPTIONS as they are in
devices. il seems that they are at the end OF
their rome. and that nothing isl left TO them
IN do Int TO submit-but gracefully submit
they will not.
The Democrats of the State of New York
have many wrongs to right. For fifteen
wears they have been the victims OF fraudu-
lent appointments. Talk OF gerry
wandering" there never was more bare
faced illustration of II than that perpe'
trated by the Republicans on the Demo-
Gratis of the Empire State in continuing
the old appointments in force. Ii
is true that the Republicans passed
an act providing for new Gen.
sus rs preliminary to reapportion-
ment, but that measure was so hagranty
nartisau that Governor HILL was forced to
veto ii: yes, he and his fel Jw-Democrats
preferred TO submit TO the outrages OF the
old appointments. bad as they are
rather than to forward the enemy's plans
by giving executive sanction to the pro.
posed census bill.
In November last the people rose up and
took the reins of government out OF the
Republicans hands and placed them IN
Democratic hands. and nowit appears that
the fruits of our victory are secure.
Through all the excited and acrimonious
contests in the courts and before the re
turning boards since November Governor
Hill. has been the Democratic leader. He
has been firm just. and courageous. If he
could have been killed by abuse he would
now be in his grave. And all Democrats
would not have been free from blame. FOL
there are members of our party who dis
countenanced his stand-a stand that has
now been justified and approved by higf
legal authority.
Ii is a great triumph for HILL. but
greater one tor the Democratic party.
