THERE i8 a growing opinion at Washington that the Prescott bill for readjusting the membership of the national house under the late census will secure favorable action from con- gress and be adopted. The measure introduced last week by Mr. Prescott adds twenty-three to the membership of the house, making a total of 319, It gives four additional members to Texas, three to Kansas, two each to Californin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Nebraska, and one each to Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Towa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Sonth Carcliva and Virgin, while it re- duces the members from Now Hamp- shire, Vermont and Maine one each, making no change in the other states, Under this plan the republican states will gain twelve members and demo- cratic states eleven, leaving a net gain of one member for the republican party.

Tuk \ln-thmhuc mmutuuuf Ohic g held a meeting a few days ago to talk about the Indiavs and the freedmen of the south, The Chicago Tribune's interesting account of this gathering contains the following decidedly re- freshing extract: The Rev. G. W. Frost, of Omaha, who has spent the pust fifteen yearsas & wissionary among the Indians on the frontier, made a few remarks bear ing upon his experience, in which he said that the churches had done more for poor Lo during the past ten years than all the otherinfluences combined. After years of thought and investiga- tion of the Indian nature he had reached the deliberate conclusion that he would rather take a contract for the conveasion of 3,600 Indians in a grove campmeeting than any 3,500 white per- BONs W/ ight have gathered at ran dom in the city. He had found that the worst outrages ever committed by the Indians since the time the wlnus men first landed on American soil were paralleled by similar out petrated by the whites. The mn had no historians, no books, and no newspapers to tell of their wrongs; they were buried in their breasts and the graves of their dead. The men who went among them generally car- ried moral depravity, ruin, and des- truction, agents were conscienceloss robbers, bnt the respousibility rested at Wash- ington.

We imagine theve is one thing the Rev. Goorge Washington would pre- fer to a contract for converting 3,500 Tndians in & grove camp meeting, and that is a contract to convert some of Uncle Sam's torest into cross-ties for the Utah Northern, or a contract to run u few eating houses on the line of the Union Paci KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON. We would advise parties who are in danger of losing their heads over the rumor that the department of the Platte is to be abholished and Fort Omaha abandoned by the military to keep their shirts on. Such wild rumorn havemade fools of some people hereubouts many times, but they were usually fabricated to afford some of our patriots a chance to play s for Omaha Departments in vionr the are not na they nge imaginery army the creation of mere caprice are not abolished to av affronts to military commanders. Military barracks are hap hi bility or the loss such changes would entail on the government, The department of the Platte was created at the close of the war and Omaha chosen as the most available location for it headquarters. The ad- vantages of Omaha over other loca- tions had then been thoroughly can- vassed and they are to-day if anything greater than they ever have been. The eastern gateway of the trunk line aoross the continent, with iron arms reaching north and south, and the Missouri river affording facilities for conveying supplies to military posts above, is peculiarly adyantageous as an army centre. As the centre of & pgreat grain and cattle raising region Omaha is ome of the most available points for the purchase of commissary supplies and feeding of troops. It was mainly because Omaha af- forded theso superior advantages that General Sherman, on behalfl of the government, purchased the grounds near this oity upon which hi estab- lished Omaha barracks. Upon theso grounds Uncle Sam has expended $150,000 in permanent improvements at the instance of General Sherman. Ts it credible that General Sherman would attempt to abandon this prop- erty or surrender all the advantages Omaha affords for the army merely because he does not approve of the occupancy of a building in this city as army headquarters in place of the building occupied for that purpose last spring at the Omaha barracks. This thing of abolishing military departments and abandoning perma- nent mulitary posts does not rest with the general of the army alone. The secretary of war aud the president will have to give their approval to such changes, and they would hardly wive their sanction morely to gratify the personal whim of Goneral Sher- man. But if General Sherman roally had the power to do this, would it not bo easier Crook and fort Omaha than to demolish Fort Omaha and abolish the department of the Platte / not abandoned rd, regardless of the availa for him to order General his stafl’ back 1o I'ng independent movement is now waking itself vigorously folt in North Carolina.

The present scheme is necdlessly ecmplex and indirect, and the necessity for a radical reform is generally recognized. The premier’s plan is to have the life senators chosen by both chambers in stead of one, to have each senatorial delegate elected by 500 voters in place of the communes, and to curtail the privileges of the upper house in finan- cial legislation. These changes will simplify the electoral system, and will tend to make the senate decidedly more democratic. The proposals, will undoubtedly fail to satisfy the ex- tremists, who demand nothing less than the abolition of the senate. They may also irritate the more moderate sections of the republican party. As for the Scrutin de Liste, deputies are equally divided respect ing the the change.

With these figures as a starting point, it is intimated that at the end of the century, provided that emigration and immigration do not interfere with the conditions as they now are, France will have scarcely 40,000,000 people to the 0,000,000 that Germany will have.
