tatives at 68,000) ..was taken up.
Mr Everett Chairman of the Select Com-
mittee on this subject, who reported the bill,
said this was nota matter to be settled by de-
bate, but by other considerations; that no
doubt each member thad his mind made up
and hence he should not detain the House:
He desired to lzring in competition at once
a high and low ratio. He therefore moved
an amendment to the bill to strike out the
ratio of 63,000 and insert 70,680, and moved
to amend tbe_amer_idment by striking out
70,000, and inserting 50,39]. The raiio
of 70,680 would give less fractions than that
proposedby the bill, and constitute a House
,of2l_7 members, while that of 50,391 would
preserve to every State its present’ numbers
‘and give a_H_ouse of306 members.
The Chairman decided that the amend-
ment to the amendment (both being offered
at the same time) was out of order, and ac-
cordingly it was not received.

amendment by striking out 70,680 and in-

As the most expeditious mode of proceed-
ing, the amendment to insert 58,000 was
rejected, and the ratio (68,000) proposed in
the bill, was stricken out so as to leave the

The force of an election. under the so-
called ‘ People's Constitution,’ is now going
on. They will hold meetings in the greater
part of the State, but probably will not at-
tempt it in some ofthe Southern town s.-—
Tbe Wardens and Clerks will not be sum-
marily arrested here, but will be indicted &
tried in the usual manner. In some parts
of the State it is probable that arrests will be
made to day. In that case they will not
make resistance, as they have threatened, but
will give ball. The voting is conducted
without any of the usual precautions against
fraud, aad it is doubtless the intention to re-
turn a large number ofvotcs, with very little
reference to the number of voters. Nothing
can be easier than this. Some indignation
had been excited among the party by the
refusal of the leaders to act as Wardens.-
The post of honor loses its charms with

tion ofall debts by the officers of the law.—

that Kendall. of the Picayune. had an op-

be thought such a course would be deroga-

could not be paid without using the paper of
the government, he was the first to call for

were published against their consent. The
