Suectal Dispatch to The Chicugo Tyibune, WasmNatoy, D. €., Feb, 3.—~The debate wpon the Apportionment bill proceeded far enough In the House to-dny to show that tho Tiepublleans are not dlsposed to consent’ to the passaree of tho bill reported by the Dema- cratle wajorlty of tha Census Conumitiee, which gives tho South n main of twelve meinbers, 18 compared with a galn of six for the North und West. But the disenssion did ot proceed farenough to determine whether the Republicans will resist the pnssage of any bill. ‘1% opinlons of - Republicans are divided on tgis subject. Some of them be- lleve that it will be wiso to have this Con- gress make the nppointment from party grounds, for the renson that TUE REPUBLICANS NOW CONTROL BTATE LEGISLATURES than they way if the npportionment shall be yostponed, and that 1t Is not wise to put It in tho power of possibla future Demacratle Legisiatures to so gerrymander the States that distrlets which aro legitimately Repub- Tiean shall be mnde to by Demoeratie, Mr. Sherwin, of Illinols, In o coneise, compnet speech, set forth the reasons why the Ropub- Jienns of the Census Comunlitieo considered that 310 wus the most equitable number, 1lo claimed that the number of 319 was just to all seetlons; that the objection thnt the mem- bership of the Ilouse would Do thoreby too much fnereased was A NOT VALID, and that at the most it would be only elght morethan the LIl proposed Ly the Demo- crats, an increaso which wouid not bo per- ceptiblo In the -Mouse, Tho incremse from 23 to 819 ho thought quite justitinble, in view of the fact {hat, In the lnst deende, the Unlted States has galued eleven milhons ot population.

FhoM “riE wecorn,!” wasnrsaroy, D. ¢, Feb, 8.—The Appor- tlonment blll was taken up. My, Cox offered an amendment fixiug tho number of Kepresentatlves at 507, Ordered printed, and considered pending. Arr. Shorwin, » member of the Census Commlittee, took the floor on tue bill,. There was no reason that an apportlonnient should not be made this session, since all the dats were In on which to. mnke tho calenlation, Comparing the various bills which had been proposed, showed that, at “807 (the- number first guggested by Mr. Cox), Democratic States would gain eight Representatives and lose two,—n net gain of six. 'Fhe Republie- an States woullt galn ten and lose cight,—a net gain of two. At-the nunber selected by tho manjority of the Committee (3t1) tho Demoeratie States would gain twelve and loso none; the Republlenn States would izaln ten and lose four, n net guln of six.. At 810, the number recommended by the minority, the Demoeratieand Republican Stutes would ench gahijthirteen Representu- tives. Ilo argued Infslipportof the latter bill, eontending that,;Bidthemntically ns well as politically, It mete: el justice to every portlon of the countryy Tor thut reuson it shoultt commend itself to every fair-minded man on the floor. r.

Under Sce. 9 of the Fourteenth Amend- ment, voters a8 well a3 numbers might bo taken into account in apnortloning represontation, and whenever any Stato donied to any male citizen over tho age of 8t thoright'to vote, In his judgment thiat Stato shoulil bo denied representation in the just proportion in which it dentedsuch right to vote. Massachusetts and Connectl- cut had imposed an edueational qualifiention which deprived mnny of that vight, Dela- ware, Georgia, New Hampshire, Pennayl- vania, Rhods Island, Teunessee, Texas, nnd Virginin had added a property auallfieation, nnd tho allegation had been mado that In six- teen Southern States voters had been DISFRANCHISED DY VIOLENCE AND INTIMI- DATION. + Yo eriteised the biilof the majority on the ground that 1t did not provido for tho con- tinuance of the dlstrict systom, and argued that to cliange that system woukl not be good statesmanship or wise legistation. - Mr, Ray denied that his Stato imposed o property qualification. olr.
