Mr. DOOLITTLE. I am taking the actual votes cast in 1860, and supposing that the laws remain the same on that subject. The State of Minnesota is now entitled to 2 representatives. She cast 34, 790 votes in 1860. pan the voting basis she would be entitled to 2 representatives, the same that she has now, for she has one upon a large fraction at present. California has now 3 Representatives. She cast in 1860 118, 840 votes, which would entitle her at the rate of 20,000 voters to a Representative, to 6 Representatives, giving her an increase in her representation of 3 members. Oregon has one'Representative and will have but one, because the voters in Oregon in 1800amounted to 14, 410 who cast their votes in the election that year, and the population of Oregon probably is not such as to entitle her to more than one Representative, and may not be for some time to come. So also of Nevada. Now, Mr. President, it' we look to the late slave States, the State of Delaware under the present apportionment has one Representative. She had 10,030 voters in 1860, and upon they voting basis or any other basis the State of Delaware will have but one Representative. Maryland has under the present apportionment 5 Representatives. hiaryland had 02.502 voters in 1800, andif you giveto her the benefit of a large fraction, a fraction of 12,000 out of 20,000 which entitles to a vote, Maryland would still have, on the voting basis, 5 Representatives; and under this reconstruction amendment she would have the same. 1 WestVirginia has 3 Representatives under the present ap portionment. Her voters in 1860 are compute to be about 50,000 the accuracy of that calculation I cannot vouch for which would give her the same number of Representatives which she now has. Virginia, the remainingpartofVirginia, is entitled toeight Representatives under fiie present apportionment. On the voting basis of 117, 228, she would be entitled to but 6 Representatives, which would be a reduction upon the State of Virginia of two, and the same reduction follows under the apportionment which is proposed by the committee. Kentucky has now 9 Representatives under the present apportionment. Kentucky had 145, 258 voters in 1860, which would make her entitled to 7 Representatives on the voting basis, and a large fraction, almost entitled to eight; but upon the voting basis Kentucky would lose two, and upon the proposition of the committee Kentucky will lose 2 of her Representatives. The effect upon her, therefore, is the same. Missouri is entitled to 9 Representatives under the present apportionment. Missouri had 165, 518 voters in 1860, which would entitle her to 8 represeutatives, which would be a loss ot one when she is reduced to the voting basis. NCarolina is entitled to 7 representatives under the present apportionment. pon the voting basis, as she had796, 230 voters in 1860, she would be entitled to but 5, receiving one upon. the large fraction of 16,000. SCarolina, under the present apportionment, is entitled to 4 Representatives. I have here an estimate as to the amount of votes that were cast in the State of SCarolina, as her legisla ture elects the presidential electors, and therefore no accurate computation could be made as to the voters of SCarolina; but her voters were estimated at about 60,000. It is calculated that upon the voting basis, therefore, SCarolina would'have 3 Representatives, and she will have the same under the proosition of the committee. Georgia is entitle to 7 Representatives under the present apportionment. In 1860 Georgia had 106, 365 voters, which would entitle her upon the voting basis to 6 Representatives. F or ida bad but 14, 347 voters in 1860. She is entitled to but one Representative under the present apportionment, and cannot, under any circumstances, at present at least, be entitled to more than one. Alabama has 6 Representatives under the present a portioument. She had 90,357 voters in 1860, which, upon the fraction of 10,000 and upwards, would entitle her to 5 Representatives upon the voting basis, and she would be entitled to the same number under the reconstruction amendment proposed by the committee. Mississippi is entitled to 5 Representatives under the present apportionment. She cast 60, 120 votes in 1860, which would entitle her to 4 representatives upon the voting basis, which would be a loss of one. Louisiana is entitled to 5 Representatives under the present apportionment. She had 50, 610 votes in 1860, which would entitle her to but 3 Representatives on the voting basis. Of course this is based upon the assumption that the colored people of the South are not yet permitted to cast votes. When they become enfranchised these States will be entitled to increased representation. Texas is entitled to 4 Representives under the present apportionment. She cast 60, 986 votes in 1860, which would entitle her, on the basis, to 3 Representatives, or a lovsostinog one. Arkansas is entitled to 3 Representatives under the present apportionment. She cast 54,053 votes in 1860, which would entitle her to 3 Representatives upon the voting basis, which is the same as upon this report of the committee. Tennessee is entitle to 8 Representatives under the present apportionment. She had 145,333 votes in 1860, which would entitle her to 7 Representatives, and a large fraction, but she would lose one if placed upon the voting basis, and the same upon the report of the committee. Mr. President, if we recapitulate the whole according to the computation of this table, under the present apportionment the North or the old free States have 157 Representatives, the South or the late slave States ei 1! 5, making a majority in favor of the ort or the old free States of 72 in the HoRep. Upon the voting basis, the North or the old free States will have 172 Representatives, while the South or the old slave States will have but 70, and thus ive to the old free States a majority in the lectoral College of 102. Thus it will be seen that this proposition to base representation upon the voting basis is 3 in favor of the old free States; and while NewEngland, which, with her comparatively small population, has 12 Senators in this body, oses but four, and the great agricultural States of the Northwest, one of which I represent, will gain 12 in the HoRep, while such are the results, it seems to me it does not militate at all against the reposition which I have introduced. California, which now has 3, would be entitled to 6 Representatives. I desire not to dwell at any great length on this subject.
