The account of the State debts, in particular, is full, and may be depended upon; that of the several kinds of property owned by the States of course is more defective, for the State archives seldom afford complete materials for accurate accounts of this sort, and the property is sometimes estimated at a nominal valuation, which is much above its market value.

The object here is to give only a summary of the facts, so as to afford the means of comparing the States with each other. Their financial condition is shown at much greater length under the head of "Individual States," and in some cases later statements are given. Official returns published in this work for 1843 (page 135) show that the total of the debts of the States in 1842 was $198,818,736. XXIV. SEVENTH CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES.

But this gives only 219 members, leaving 11 to be assigned to the States having the largest residuary fractions, after allowing one each to Delaware, Florida, and California. In the column of fractions, those marked with a entitle the State to an additional Representative, who is included in the number given the State in the column of Representatives. By the act of July 30, 1852, an additional Representative is assigned to California, making the whole number of Representatives 234. The ratio of representation remains unchanged The last published census tables differ slightly from the above, but as the apportionment of representation is made by the above table, it is continued. This column is from the last published census returns. See page 244. 1861.] EIGHTH CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES. 243 XXV. EIGHTH CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES. ESTIMATED POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES ACCORDING TO THE EIGHTH CENSUS, AND REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS.* Mr. Kennedy, the Superintendent of the Census, has kindly furnished to the American Almanac approximate totals of the free and slave populations of the several States, according to the Marshals' certificates and official returns of the eighth census. There has not yet, however, been sufficient time for the returns in all the States to be verified at the Census Office, so that the figures given below cannot be taken as precisely accurate; in some of the States they are correct, and in other States close approximations. The Superintendent of the Census also gives the federal representative population, the ratio of representation, the number of members of Congress to which each State will be entitled during the coming decade, with the gain or loss to each State as compared with the last apportionment, and the fractions over after the division of the federal representative population of each State by the ratio of representation. The remarks made in reference to the populations of the States are applicable to the figures given in these last-mentioned columns. The mode of ascertaining the ratio of representation is stated ante, p. 221. The aggregate representative population (29,679,920), divided by 233, the number of Representatives established by law, gives 127 381 as the ratio of apportionment among the several States. But this gives only 218 members, leaving 12 to be assigned to the States having the largest residuary fractions, after allowing one each to Delaware, Florida, and Oregon. In the column of "Fractions over," those marked thus, †, entitle the State to an additional Representative, who is included in the number given the State in the column of Representatives. 4,839 72,090 slave,. 3,231 Total in Territories and Dist., 396,382 27,673,221 4,002,996 31,676,217 |
