(jOVEKNOR CALDWELL ON
THE 4 CONSERVATIVE 9 9
GKKRYMAXDER.
In his admirable and able mes-j-age
to this General Assembly,
(jo vernor, Caldwell submitted these
incontrovertible facts and figures on
the infamous gerrymandering of
the last Legislature:
LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONMENT.
The last General Assembly pro
ceeded to apportion Senators and
liepresentatives. It is exceedingly
doubtful whether they had any
right to do so, at that time, and
whether the present Legislature has
not been chosen in violation of the
'onstitution ot trie TState. 1 do not
low propose to raise so grave a
mestion, but simply to call your
iitteniion to some ot the details of
the act.
The Constitution provides that
"each Senate district shall contain,
a. near as may be, an equal number
of inhabitants, excluding aliens and
Indians not taxed, and shall remain
unaltered until the return of another
numeration, and shall at all times
consist of contiguous territory."
In the present apportionment this
unmistakable provision of the Con
stitution is palpably disregarded.
Two distinct elements are required
to enter into the formation of Sen
Mfe Districts." First, they "shall
contain jxs near as may be, an equal
nhftbtr of inhabitants." Secondly,
they "shall at all times consist of
contiguous territory."
The first requirement is disre
garded in the present apportionment
to an extent that could not possibly
have been inadvertently done. By
it thousands of the people are with
out due and lawful representation
in the Senate, and are virtually dis
franchised. It is difficult to ex
press, in becoming language, what
every honest man in the State must
feel, when he considers the facts and
circumstances attending so plain a
disregard, not only of the Constitu
tion itself, but of the right of the
people to fair and impartial repre
sentation. I deem it my impera
tive duty, without reserve, to lay
thematter before you indetail,'that
the reproach may rest, where it
properly belongs, and in the confi
dent hope, and belief, that this Gen
eral Assembly will, by prompt ac
tion, show to the country its appre
ciation of what is just and proper,
and give full and rightful weight
to the manifest voice and vill of
the people.
The entire population of the State,
by the Census of 1S70, is one million,
seventy-one thousand, four hundred
and fifty making twenty-one thou
sand, four hundred and twenty-nine
inhabitants the exact number each
Senate District should contain, if
perfect exactness could be obtained.
But the Constitution does not re
quire perfect exactness. It requires
an approximation " as nearly as
may be." This approximation can
in all cases be very nearly attained
by grouping counties together, and
when some of the more populous
counties must be embraced in a
District, by making it large enough
to take more than one Senator, thus
eqnalizing and giving weight to
every large excess in a county.
Kight of the Districts in the present J
apportionment have allotted to
then) two Senators each, instead of
one. But this appears not to have
been done in scarcely a single local
ity, where it was necessary to secure
an approximation to equality in the
number of inhabitants. The Con
vention, which ordained the form
er apportionment, had only the
Census .of 18G0 for a guide. The
changes wrought by the war, in the
relative population of the counties
and sections of the State, rendered
the data of the Census of 1860 unre
liable. In consequence of this, some
inequality occurred which was dis
posed by the Census of 1870. To
wrrect this inequality was the only
plausible reason alleged for hasten
ing, under doubtful authority, a
I new apportionment. It is remark-
lwe that the new apportionment,
undertaken for such reason, should
be
made more uneoual and un-
fair
than the one it was intended
to correct. Having the
0 before them, it is
Census of
difficult to
Jttnceive how it was possible for the
Jtrtegislature to mistake so gross
ly ando fail so entirely in respect
lnSihe constitutional provision,
Resigned to protect the most essen--al
and fundamental of all popular
Jgntsthat of equal representa-
i Will, for preciseness of demon
J.ration, call attention to a few of
jjie very many glaring instances
watmay be found throughout the
"ew apportionment. I select for
"lis purp0sej ten of the forty-two
districts. In this ten, are included
iree of the eight double Districts,
;n ortler to show that they were not
nade double for the purpose of ap
proximating equality in population.
. rin?r in mind that 21,429 is the
i atio of population, required by the
institution to be anDroximated
as nearly as may be" the startling
;auon of this n
equirement may
soon at a glance.

By grouping these Districts in va
rious ways, the total disregard of j
the ratio of population, viz: 21,429.
which the Constitution, requires to
be approximated uas nearly as may
be," becomes still more glaring.

Thus it appears that a population
of 141,309 is allotted but five Sena
tors while another population of
only 133,751 is allotted eight Sena
tors. The ratio tor the five is 28,261,
while the ratio for the eight is only
16,719. According to the ratio re
quired by the Constitution to be
approximated, the five Senators
would be increased to six, with an
excess of 12,735 population, while
the eight would be reduced to six
with an excess of only 5,177.

Thus it appears that a population
of 91,294 is allotted but three Sena

only 49.041 is also allotted three.
The ratio for the first three is 30,431,
while the ratio for the other three is
only 16,337. According to the ratio,
required by the Constitution to be
approximated, the first three would
be increased to four with an excess
of 6,572 population while the other
three would be reduced to twowith
an excess of 6,183. The ratio ap
plied to the three representing the

Thus it appears that a population
of 63,595 is allotted but two Senators,
while another population of only
67,296 is allotted four. The ratio
for the two is 31,797, while the ratio
for the four is only 16,824. Accord
ing to the ratio required by the
Constitution to be approximated,
the two would be increased to three
with a deficiency of only 692 popu
lation, while the four would be re
duced to three with an excess of
3,009.
There is allotted to the 18th Dis
trict, population 35,617, 1 Senator.
There is allotted to the 23rd Dis
trict, population 15,708, 1 Senator.
According to the ratio applied to
the 23rd District, the 18th would be
entitled to two Senators and have
an excess of 4,199 population.
In the history of the government,
it has sometimes occurred, in more
than one ot the states, tnat, in
the States, that.

uniainy done, uui sucn uniairuebs
consisted in grouping together ter-
ritory, and forming Districts m gro-
tesque shapes, for the purpose of se
curing the vote of party majorities,
supposed to exist in certain localities.
The palpable disregard of the
amount of population, in violation
of express law and the consequent
disfranchisement of thousands of the
people, has seldom, if ever, before
been ventured upon anywhere.
Heretofore, this unfairness has been
COiiiiueu to Vjungi ltssiuijui. iwuiv,w,
laid off under the requirements of
acts of Congress. While all laws,
both State and national, should be
strictly observed, the requirements
of the Constitution, which Legisla
tors take a solemn oath, in no re
spect to violate, might be supposed
to be too sacred to be wilfully dis
regarded, however high and bitter
party excitement might run. ,
The requirement, that each Sen
ate District shall "consist of contig
uous territory" has been technically
complied with in the new appor-
Raleigh, Tuesday :
tionment. , But it can hardly be
said that the spirit of the law has
been observed. In several instances
some of the counties, composing
the Districts, only touch at their
corners, such an evasion of the evi
dent intent and policy of the Con-

stiiuuon, ougnc to De avoided ui ail
cases. The new apportionment for
the House of Representatives is, in
many respects, though in less de
gree, subject to the same animad
version as that for Senators. But I
refrain from details, because the
facts are within your reach, and at
tention having been called to the.
one inquiry will necessarily be
aroused as to the other.
Viewed in a party aspect, the re
sult of the unlawful and unfair ap--portionment
has been to give one
party a large majority in the Legis
lature, at an election in which the
other party, in the popular vote of
the State, had a majority of thou
sandsnot only in the vote for State
officers, but greater still in the ag
gregate for Senators and Represen
tatives in our Legislature and for
members of Congress. This cir
cumstance has given prominence,
not only in the State, but in the
whole nation, to that which we
must all regret, and which will
blur the history of the State with
reproach.
I recommend that the Legislature
take such action on this subject as
shall remove this scandal from our
statutes, and make
the apportion-
ment conform to the requirements
of the Constitution.
CONGRESSIONAL, APPORTIONMENT.
The disregard of equalitv and
fairness in the new apportionment
for members of Congress, under the
census of 1870, is little less striking
than that lor members of the Leg
islature. With a population of
1,071,450, North Carolina is allowed
eight members of Congress. The
ratio which should be approxi
mated as nearly as possible for each
Congressional District is 133,931 in
habitants. In the present apportionment the
1st District has 122,811 inhabitants.

It will be observed that the Sec
ond District has 31,618 more inhab
itants than the Seventh, and has an
excess ot 17.000 over tne regular
ratio. The extraordinary, incon
venient and most grotesque shape
of this Second District precludes all
pretence that convenience of terri
tory entered, in the slightest degree,
into the motive for disfranchising
17,000 of its people. The same may
be said of nearly all the other Dis-
tricts. j. neir snape cannoi De cnar-

acterized, otherwise than as absurd
and ridiculous.
The Second District has an excess
of 17,005; the Third District an ex-
cess of 9,633 ; the Fourth, an excess
of 5,855. and the Sixth an excess of
5,072. The First District has a de
ficiency of 11,120; the Fifth a defi
ciency of 11,100; the Seventh a de
ficiency of 14,613. A mere glance
at the map of the State is sufficient
to convince any one that no consid
eration of contiguity or compactness
of form could possibly have entered
into the motive for creating in
stances of such unprecedented excess
and. deficiency in the population of
the Districts.
Under this apportionment, one
party has elected five members out
of eight, when the other party, in
the aggregate vote for members,
had a, popular majority of over
three thousand. This flagrant re
sult shows how little the will of the
people has been respected and how
much their rights have been denied.
Taken in connection with the dis
parity in population, and the ridic
ulous forms in which the Districts
had to be laid off to produce it, tfie
result is doubtless sufficient to chal
lenge the prompt and corrective at
tention of this General Assembly.
But it has attracted the attention of
the whole country by the grossness
of the outrage upon popular rights,
and has given weight to the im
pression that demoralization, law
lessness and dishonesty, pervades
the government of some of the
Southern States, no matter what
party may chance to have the as-
cendencv for the time being. It is

THE BEST PHASE OF THE GERRYMAN
DER. Taking Uie arj.njgement of Senatorial
Districts by the last Legislature, alto
gether, by our standing table, we put
it in the very best light tor the "Demo

The population of the State by the
Census reports under which the Sena
torial Districts were arranged, is 1,071,-
JA t mt i if J .1 a
4oi souis. xne population uiviueu
among fifty Senators would give an
average population to each Senator of
21,429.
But to the thirty-two Conserva
tive Senatorial Districts the Leg
islature allotted an average of 20,899
Short to each Democratic Senator 530
Now, to each Republican Senato
rial District this same Legisla
ture allotted a population of 22,371
Proper average, 21,429
An excess over proper average, a
population to each Republscan
Senator, of
942
Taking the average population al
lotted to Republican Senatorial
Districts 22,371
and abstracting therefrom the av-
eraere populations in ine uon-
servative Districts,
20,899
we have each Republican Sena
tor representing a. population ot
1,472
more than the .Legislature nas
permitted its Conservative Sen
ators t represent.
This we say is the very best light the
matter can be placed in. It is the best
phase of the gerrymander. We ask the
public to examinento it closely and
prepare their minds for the exhibition
of infamous gerrymandering we shall
proceed to give them from time to time,
reference being always had to the facts
and figures contained in and suggested
by the table standing above.
