The total voting population OF the
State of Virginia according to the lat
est census, is 423 SS4. From this it
will be seen that in order that repro
sentation sh ould be uniform On basis
OF population each of the ten congress
sional districts should consist Of, APP
proximately, 42,3SS voters. The Third,
Ninth, and Tenth districts now have
more than that average; all the other
d stricts less.
All these fgurers quoted represent
the entire number of persons OF voting
age in the State, but many OF them
are disfranchised now, owing to having
been convicted of crime or of petit
larceny, degrading offence.

The difference in the population oil
the various islricts Is partially ac-
counted for by gerrymandering IN
order TO insure Democratic, or white
supremacy in as many Of taem as pos
sible in the days when the Republican
marty was formidable co 4testanl +
control of the Sta and the congress
sional dele cation. Then it was that
the Fculth District was forme so as
TO include 20 many black eountie., II
being thought better to give the Ne
publicans that one congressman than
to endanger the election OF Democrats
IN other districts by distributing those
black counties among rious districts
The large number of voters in the
Second District is chiefly Sccounte d
for by the enormous increase IN popu-
lst,on IN that section. The city OF
Newport News has sprung up IN a lew
wears from strag ding hamlet to
,,lace of nearly 25,OO0 people; Norfolk
county, Norfolk city, Portsmouth,
! Elizabeth City COUNTY, and nansem ond
have all gained rapidly in the mum bei
Of inhabitants. A new appointment o
representation in the State Legislature
will greatly increase the number Of
representatives from that congressional
district. tits probable, too, that il
the Encouragement of congressional
districts, some oity or county, or more
| than one. will be taken from that con.
gressional district and added to some
of the smaller ones.

cause Of any want of respect for the per-

snatched by death,
1T is because the reign which is Just
closed has been for Ireland and all the

and a half of our people have persisted
by famine; 100000 have emigrated to

MONUMENT TO VICTORIA.
Unofficial Movement on Foot In Lon
don to That End

New York, Jan. ga dispatch 70
the Tribune from London says: A
movement, which is however entirely
without official encouragement, is on
foot to erect a great monument to
Queen Victoria in London. Already a
sign comes from India that such a
proposal would be likely to meet the
spontaneous wishes of the subjects of
the crown in far-away chimes.
The suggestion that May "a, the
queens birthday, shall be kept forever
as a public holiday also finds favor.
This is all the more desirable. as King
Edwards birthday falls on November
., period of the year wholly unpro-
pitious to the enjoyment of brilliant
pageantry, such as that of trooping
of the colors, which is undoubtedly the
prettiest display of the season.
