The eighth and tenth districts, they say, would have been doubtful, while the census'shows a large majority-of the settlers in those districts were emigrants from the South. In reply to what is said in the extract read from the report touching the character of the House 'I have also made an exhibit from which it will be seen upon what sort of foundation that statement rests. REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICTS. I have already shown what the testimony indicates in the first council district. Then how is it in the second ? The census shows that there were 67 resident legal votes in it from the North-, and 132 from the South. The evidence of witnesses shows that this majority from the South was largely increased by actual residents before the election, (page 1157.) In the third council district the census showed a majority of 9 only from the North. The evidence of witnesses shows that this majority was overcome before the election by actual settlers from the South, The fourth shows only 129 from the North, against 295 from the South. The sixth district shows a majority of 8 from the South. In the districts mentioned by the committee, the census returns, by themselves, clearly indicate that' but two of them had a majority of settlers from the North, while !
