Mr. Dunuell, of Min- nesoty, presided, and Mr, Awmos Townsend, of Ohlo, neted ns Secretary, Tho sesslon lasted about two hours, and there was a free Interchange of opinion, At the outset of the procecdings, Mr, Keifer, of Ohlo, offered n resolution defluing that the Republieans would Insist upon u bill for 810 Representa- tives, and, fafling to secure that, would useall parilnmentary ineansnecessary to preventiho passago of any: Reapportionment LI this sesslon, Mr. Sherwin, of Illinols, member of the Census Commlttee, made o tengthy ox- plauntion of the offect of the different num- bers from 203 to 822 In the States North and South.
