The New Apportionment

Therepublicans had good reason to be scaretl over the increase of population in the south, for the new census gives to the democratie states of Missouri, Texas, California, Arkansas and South Carolina, a net gain of three congressmen, and to strong repubhean states a loss of the same. That is to say, the democratie states, if the number of members of congress are ribt increased as they probably will not be, will bu entitled to 109 members against 10G as at present, while the republican Btatet will have but 184 against 187 as at present apportioned. The change, however, will be mainly from tlie east to the west. Each of the following northern states will lose in iiumbers as follows: Maine, New Hampshire, Yermont, Massachusetts, New Jersejr, Ohio, Indiana and I'linois, each, 1 ; New York, 3; and Pennsylvania, 2. The following northern states will gain: Michigan, Iowa, California, each 1; Minnesota, 2; Kansas, :S; Xebraska, 2. Amonic the southeru states Maryland, Alabama aud Tennessee, each loses 1 ; while South Carolina, Missouri and ', Arkansas will gaid 1, and Texa gains 3. The Change politically will not be yery great, except the gerrymandering whish the republicans will be able to do wher they have the power. The great "blow" about the republican northwest having sucli greatly increased representa! ion, and the south cor.sequentjy diminished, is all bosh, but in full accord with most of the political stuff hashed up to us by republican papers. This country is naturally divided into three sections: The east, the west and the south ; aud the preponderancc of one over the other will never be vcry great, for as tliu far w est is being settled the state known as the eastern keep encroach. ing upon territory formerly considcred western, while the south has an immense expanse of country to spread over. We have no fear but it will all reccivc its full and just representation. lt is also our opinión that from this time ouward the republican party will grudually die out. It has won its last victury, for the corrupt element will predominute to such a degree that thepeople '11 kick it out of power. All the republicnns need is rope enough to hang themselves, and they havegot it.
