The smaller th number the more favorable will thc distribution be for the South, whik the gailis for Increased mombershir Will inure chieflty to the benelit of th< North. Mr. Cox, who has charge 0 the bill, recommended three hundre(1 and one memberse, instead of two hun dred and ninety-three. The commit tee decided to report a bill fixing the number at three hundrcd aid eleven, while the Republican minority recom imended three hundred and nineteen, Their motive is obvious. Of the eight members thus gained six will go to the North and only two the South-a gain of four north of Mason and Dixoni line. It Is a pity that the number is not fixed by the Constitution, as the Jaw now existing permits of a Species of gerrymandering in the way above shown.
