Auditor's Office, Richmond, Jan. 4, 1865. To THE House of Delegates : The following preamble and resolution, adopted by the house of delep^ates on the 21st day of December 18C4, have been communicated to me for answer. They read aa follow : " Wherea.s the 5th section of the 4th article of the constitution of Virginia requires tb« general as.sembly, in the year 1865, to reapportion representation in the senate and house of delegates, if they can agree upon a principle of representation : In the event the general assembly fail, in the year 1865 to make such reapportionment, the governor is required, by proclamation, to submit to the voters of the state — 1st. Whether representation in the senate and house of delegates shall be apportioned on the ' suffrage basis.' 2d. Whether representation in both houses shall be apportioned on the ' mixed basis,' as defined in the said constitution. 3d. Whether representation in the senate shall be apportioned on taxation, and in the house of delegates, on the ' suflfrage basis.' 4th. Whether representation shall be apportioned in the senate on the ' mixed basis,' and the house of delegates, on the ' suffrage basis.' It is therefore resolved, that the auditor of public accounts compile, from the papers and records of his office, as far as he may be enabled to do so. a table showing the appurtion- ment of representation iu the several districts or divisions of the state, under each of the four propositions to be submitted to the people : that in doing so, the said auditor will fix the basis of his calculations on the population, number of votes cast in the presidential election held in 1860, and on the taxation of that year. The said auditor shall also estimate the probable increase in population, votes and taxa- tion for the five years since 1860, at the same rate per anuum which prevailed in the state from 1850 to 1860, and show the apportionment of representation upon such basis. That he also show the apportionment of representation upon the territorial extent of the state, or upon county representation, and allowing one delegate to Richmond, Norfolk and Petersburg. And that the said auditor make report thereupon as soon as practicable." To enable the house of delegates the better to understand the tables prepared in answer to the preamble and resolution, I have deemed it necessary to accompany the answer with the 5th and 6th sections of the 4th article of the constitution of "Virginia, which read as follow : Doc. No. 20. Apportionment of Representation. " 5. It shall be the duty of the general assembly, in the year one thousand eight hundred ami sixty-five, and in every tenth year thereafter, in case it can agree upon a principle of represeutation, to reapportion representation in the senate and house of delegates in accord- ance therewith ; and in the event the general assembly, at the first or any subsequent period of reapportionment, shall fail to agree upon a principle of representation, and to reapportion n'pri'sentation in accordaui'o therewith, each house shall separately propose a scheme of re- presentation, contaiuing a principle or rule for the house of delegates, in connection with a principle or rul(> for the senate. And it shall be the duty of the general assembly, at the same session, to certify to the gpvornor the principles or rules of representation which the respective honses may separately propose, to be applied in making reapportionments in the senate and in the hous" of delegates : and the governor shall, as soon thereafter as may be, by proclamation, make known the propositions of the respective houses, and require the voters of the eommonwealth to assemble at such time as he shall appoint, at their laAvful }>laces of voting, and decide by their votes between the propositions thus presented. In the event the genernl assembly shall fail, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, or in any tenth year thereafter, to make such reapportionment or certificate, the governor shall, immediately after the adjournment of th^e general assembly, by proclama- tion, require the voters of the commonwealth to assemble, at such time as he shall appoint, at their lawful places of voting, and lo declare by their votes — First, whether representation in the senate and house of delegates shall be apportioned on the ' suffrage basis ;' that is, according to the number of voters in the several counties, cities, towns and senatorial districts of the commonwealth : Or, second, whether representation in both houses shall be apportioned on the 'mixed basis;' that is, according to the number of white inhabitants contained, and the amount of all state taxes paid in Phe several counties, cities and towns of the commonwealth, deducting therefrom all taxes paid on licenses and law process, and any capitation tax on free negroes, allowing one delegate, for every seventy-sixth part of said inhabitants, and one delegate for every seventy-sixth part of said taxes, and distributing the senators in like manner: Or, third, wliether representation shall be apportioned in the senate on taxation; that is, according to the amount of all state taxes paid in the several counties, cities and towns of the commonwealth, deducting therefrom all taxes paid on licenses and law process, and any capitation tax on free negroes ; and in the house of delegates, on the ' suffrage basis,' as afore'- aid: Or, fourth, whetlu^r representation shall be apportioned in the senate on the ' mixed basis,* as aforesaid, and in the house of delegates, on the 'suffrage basis,' as aforesaid: and each voter shall east his vote in favor of one of said schemes of apportionment, and no more. 6. It shall be the duty of the sheriflTs and other officers taking said polls, to keep the same open for the period of three days, and within five days after they are closed, to certify- true copies thereof to the governor, who shall, as early as may be, ascertain the resirlt of said vote, and make proc!amatio7i thereof; and in case it is ascertained that a majority of all the votes cast is in favor of either of the principles of representation, referred as afore- said to the chctice of the voters, the governor shall communicate the result of such vote to the general assembly, at its first regular session thereafter; but in case it is ascertained that a majority of ali the votes cast is not in favor of either of the principles of representation referred as aforesaid to the choice of the voters, it shall be the duty of the governor, as soon as may be after ascertaining that fact, in like manner to cause the voters to decide between tlie two principles of representation which shall, at such previous voting, have received the Doc. No. 20. 7 greatest number of votes ; and he shall ascertain and make procbunatidU of the result of the said last vote, and communicate the same to the general assembly, at its next regular session ; and in either case, the general assembly, at the regular session thereof, which shall be held next after taking the vote, the resiUt of which shall have btva so communicated to it by the governor, shall reapportion representation in the two houses respectively, in accord- ance with the principle of representation in each, for which a uiajority of the votes cast were given ; and it shall be the duty of the general assembly, in ovoiy teutli year theroaftor, to reapportion and distribute the number of senators and delegates in accordance with the same principle."

Th'.' present constitution fixes th« num])er of deh^gatos at one hundred and fifty-two, and of senators at fifty, which cannot be increased or diniinisln^d by the legislature. Tiip tables accompanying this report sliow that there are one hundred and forty-nine counties and three cities (Richmond, Nrntolk and Petersburg) entitled A separate repre- sentation, making togetiier one hundred and fifty-two, which correspond exactly in number with the number of deh'gates fixed iti the constitution. This is rather an interesting coinci- dence, and one which I trust will not be lost sight of in tlie apportionment required by the constitution to be made during this year. To assign one delegate to each county and one to each of the three cities named, will ab- sorb the whole number, to wit, one hundred and forty-nine for counties, and three for cities, making one hundred and fifty-two in tiie aggregate. By adopting this principle of repre- sentation, the questions of population, ta.'cafion, and ail other fruitful sources of irritation, heretofore manifesting themselves in the pul)lic mind in tlie several sections of the state on the subject of representation, will be ignored if not forgotten, and the public mind thus relieved, and the several sections sulisfied, may emulate each other in the laudable aim of state advancement. I have no hesitation in declaring my individual preference for this jirinciple of representation over all others. By its adoption, the district west of the Blue Ridge, now entitled under the last appor- tionment to <"ighty three delegates, will imly have eighi}-; whieh will l)c a loss of three, leaving the west still in a majority of cigfU d-.legates. In the senate the west would have a majority of four, to wit, the west twenty-seven, and tlio east twenty-three senators; and on joint ballot, the west wnuid have twelve uuijority. The manner in whieh this jirineiple of nppurtionment will operate on the several districts in detail, may readily I"' discovered by reference to the tables. SrFniAuK Ba.sIS. The suffrage basis T regard as the most unreliable of all other tests. It may bojjljso- lutely controlled by high wafers or ba'l weather in one part of the state, and fair wejfher in another, on any election day. All political power might be transferred from one selftion of the state to another, in a manner calculated to shock a sense of justice, and prev^t the purposes of representative government. By its adoption, the west will be entitled, under the vote of IH60, in one estimate, as shown in tho tables, to seventy-eight delegates and twenty-five senators, and the east to seventy-four delegates and twenty-five .senators, and result in a gain ol' fire delegates ai»d a loss of fire siunitors east of the Blue Ridge, and a corresponding loss and gain in the west, h aving the majority on joint, ballot the same that it is now. The tables show other results at diflerent times. To estimate the increase of voters at the same rate ol' increase of population, the result will be changed so tar as to give the west eighty delegates and twenty-six senators, and the eaRt seventy-two delegates and twenty-four senators, which is a majority in the house of delegates, of eight, and in the senat<>, two, or on joint ballot, ten, to the western district.

By the adoption of the wliite basis, it will be seen that tlie western division of the state will be entitled tqjtighty-eight delegates, and the eastern division to sixty four delegates, or a majority of twenty-four; and in the senate the west will be entitled to twenty-nine sena- tors, and the east twenty-one, or a majority of eight — making on joint ballot, a majority of thirty-two to the west. New Counties created since the last APPofiiTioxMEN-i'. Since the last apportionment of representation several new counties have been created in the western division of the state ; and the law creating them requires the citizens to vote with the counties from which they were taken. Inasmuch as it is impossible to ascertain the area, population, taxation or voters thus attached to a district, the calculations for a dis- trict to which such new county belongs, must necessarily be taken as conjectural, and is unreliable, in my own judgment, in respect to the senatorial district, or district for a dele- gate ; but the general result respecting the state, the divisions of the state, or the districts thereof, may be taken as reliable, and not subjected to such local uncertainties or inaccuracies.
