The Jast General Assembly pro ceeded to apportion Senators and Representatives. It is exceedingly doubtful whether they had any right to-do so. at that time, and Lwiethe4rlthepreseh t LegislaJ li re h as not Deen cnosen in violation 01 me Constitution of the State. I do not now propose to raise so grave 9 question, but simply to call your attention to some of the details of the act. The Constitution provides that "each Senate district shall contain, as near as may be, an equal number of inhabitants, excluding aliens a?ul Indians not taxed, and shall remain unaltered until the return of another enumeration, 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 ate Districts.'''' First, they "shall contain as near as may be, an equal number 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 Statemust 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 the matter before you in detail, 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 will of the people. The entire population of the State, by the Census of 1870, 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. Eight of the Districts in the present apportionment have allotted to them two Senators each, instead of one. But this appears not to have been done in scarcely a single local- itv. 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 1860 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 closed bvthe Census of 1870. To correct this inequality was the only plausible reason alleged for hasten ing, under doubtful authority, a new apportionment. It is remark able that the new apportionment, undertaken for such reason, should be made more unequal and un fair than the one it was intended to correct. Having the Census of 1870 before them, it is dirhcult to conceive how it was possible for the last Legislature to mistake so gross ly and to fail so entirely in respect ing the constitutional provision, designed to protect the most essen tial and fundamental of all popular i ihts that of equal representation. I will, for preciseness of demon stration, call attention to a few of the very many glaring instances that may be found throughout the new apportionment. I select for this purpose, ten of the forty-two Districts, in this ten, are included three of the eight double Districts, in order to show that they were not made double for the purpose of ap- Sroximating equality in population, bearing in mind that 21,429 is the ratio of population, required by the Constitution to be approximated " as nearly as may be," the startling violation of this requirement may bLseen at a glance. Inhere is allotted to the Pqpula- Sena iation. tors. 60,015 2 33,686 2 4)3,610 2 35,617 1 15,708 1 27,978 1 16,436 1 27,699 1 16,897 1 17,414 1 1st District, 10th 24th 18th 23d " 12th 14th 3d 17th 31st it it it u tt tt it c By grouping these Districts in va rious ways, the total disregard of the ratio of population, viz : 21,429, which the Constitution requires to be approximated "as nearly as may be," becomes still more glaring. There is allotted to the Popula- tiom 50,015 27.699 27,978 35,617 1st District, 3d " 12th 18th u (I Sena tors. 2 1 1 1 Total popTn, 141,309 Popula- 10th District, 14th 17th 23d 24th 31st tt tt. tt ti it tion. 33,686 16,436 16,897. 15,708 33,610 17,414 5 m Sena tors, 1 1 1 8 Total popTn, 133,751 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 for the five is 28.261. while the ratio for the eight is only io,7iy. 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. There is allotted to the Popula- Sena- tion. tors. 27,699 1 27,978 1 35,617 1 3d District, 12th 44 18th tt Total popTn, 91,294 14th District, 16,436 17th " 16,897 23d 44 15,708 3 Sena tors. 1 1 1 Total popTn, 49,041 3 Thus it appears that a population of 91,294 is allotted but three Sena tors, while another population of 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 two with an excess of 6,183. The ratio ap plied to the three representing the 49,641 population would, if applied to the other three, increase them to five with an excess of 9,6tw. There is allotted to the Popula tion. 10th District, 33686 24th 44 33,610 Sena tors. o 2 Total popTn, 67,296 Popula tion. 12th District, 27,978 18th " 35,617 4 Sena tors. 1 1 Total pop'Pn, 63,595 2 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 i3 31,797, while the ratio for the four is only 16,824. Accord ing to the ratio required by the Constitution ro 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 of the States, that, in the midst of high partv excitement, the laying off of Districts for repre-. sentatives has been more or less unfairly done. But such unfairness consisted in grouping together ter ritory, and formiug Districts in 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 confined to Congressional Districts, 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 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 stitution, ought to be avoided in all 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 foe Senators. But I 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 sands not only in the vote for State officers, but greater still in tho ag gregate for Senators and Repxesen lativesin our Legislature and for members of Congress. This pir cum stance has given prominence, not only in the State, ;bat;dirtZ whole nation, to that which--we must all , regret, and -which vtl 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 equality and fairness in the new apportionment for members of Congress, under the census of 1870, is little less striking than that for 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. 2d 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th tt ti t tt tt tt tt tt 150,936 143,564 139,786 122,831 139,003 119,318 133,201 It will be observed that the Sec ond District has 31,618 more inhab itants than the Seventh, and has an excess of 17,005 oyer the 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. Their shape cannot be char 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, the 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 tho 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 cendency for the time being. It is hoped, for the character of North. Carolina, that the present Legisla ture will be able and willing to re move such impression, so far as regards this State, by fairness, mod eration, and a strict observance of whatever is just and right and be coming the representatives of a free and virtuous people.
