The National Legislature consists of a Senate of two members from each State, making the full Senate now consist of seventy-four members, and a House of Representatives, now having two hundred and forty-five members. The Senators are chosen by the Legislatures of their several States, for a term of sLx years, either by concurrent vote or by jomt ballot, as the State may prescribe. The members of the House of Representa- tives are usually elected by a plurality vote in districts of each State, Whose bounds are prescribed by the Legislature, for the term of two years. In a few instances they have been elected at large : i. e., by the plurality vote of the entire State. The Constitution requires nine years' citizenship to qualify for admis- sion to the Senate, and seven years to the House of Representatives. An act approved July 26, 1866, requires the Legislature of each State which shall be chosen next preceding the expu-ation of any Senatorial term, on the second Tuesday after its first meeting, to elect a successor, each House nominating viva voce, and then convening in Joint Assembly to compare nominations. In case of agreement, such person shall be declared duly elected; and if they do not agree, then balloting to continue from day to day at 12 M. during the session imtil choice bas been made. Vacancies are to be filled in like manner. The members of ea< h House receive a salary of $7,500 per annum, and their actual trav- eling expenses ; the Speaker of the House of Eepresentatives re- ceives $10,000 ; Cabinet Officers receive $10,000 ; Assistant Secreta- ries of the State, Treasury, and Interior Departments, $6,000 each ; Commissioners of the Customs, Agriculture, and of the Land Office, $4,000 each. congressional districts. The House of Representatives of the United States is composed of members elected by Districts. The number apportioned to the States has varied at each decennial census, as shown by the following Table : Cenaus. Wheu Appoitioned. Whole No". Rep.

NJSW FINANCE BILL. §9 SYNOPSIS OF THE FINANCE BILL Passed June 20, 1874. Section 1 declares that the currency act of 1864, now and for the past ten years in force, shall he hereafter known as the National Bank Act. Section 2 so amends section 31 of that act that banks are no longer required to keep on hand " any amount of money whatever " on account of circulation ; but the reserve required by that section — namely, 25 per cent, in redemption cities, and 15 per cent, in other places — shall be determined by deposits. Section 3 requires each national bank to keep in the treasury a legal- tender reserve of 5 per cent, of its circulation, this sum to be " counted as a part of the lawful reserve," as provided in the x'revious section ; and the U. S. treasurer shall redeem in legal-tenders on presentation, bauk notes, sorted or unassorted, when presented in sums of $1,000, or its multiple. He shall charge notes redeemed to the respective banks, and on the first of each month or oftener, shall notify them, and whenever notes aggregating $500 have been redeemed for any bank such bank shall deposit with him the like amount of legal-tenders. Banks are to reimburse the cost of sorting and redemption, and so much of section 32 of the old act as requires oi' permits redemption except at the counter of each bank is repealed. This does away with redemption agencies altogether. Section 4 allows any bauk to withdraw any or all of its notes, by depos- iting legal-tenders iu sums of not less than $9,000 with the treasurer ; the notes BO taken up shall be destroyed, and the bonds held for them shall be returned. Section 5 provides that the comptroller of the currency shall stamp the charter number of each bank on all notes hereafter issued by him. Section G provides that " the amount of United States notes outstanding, and to be issued as a part of the circulating medium, shall not exceed the sum of $382,000,000, which said sum shall appear in each monthly statement of the public debt, and no part thereof be held or used as a reserve." Section 7 repeals so much of the act of July 12, 1870, as provides that no circulation shall be withdrawn until the remaining $54,000,000 have been taken up. The comptroller is instead required to withdraw circulation from banks iu States having an excess, as application is made by new banks, up to $54,000,000. Section 8 prescribes the manner of this withdrawal. Section 9 requires the comptroller to issue without delay upon application to banks in States and Territories not already having received their share, nev.' circulation up to $55,000,000 ; of this not more that $30,000,000 shall be with- drawn and re-distributed during the coming fiscal year, that is, up to June 30, 1875. *0 TOUEIQN aOVERNMEKTS FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.

The Public School statistics of the United States require a volume of themselves for their complete elucidation. We can only give ag gregates of the most important items. The number of children of school-age in 48 States and Territo^ rieSj in 1872, was 12,528,384. * The number enrolled in 46 of these 48 States, etc., was 8,106,073. The average attendance in 45 out of 48 States, etc., was 4,871,848. The number of schools in 47 States, etc., was 173,056. These 48 States and Territories reported, in 1870, 14,025 private schools, aside from professional, technical, and scientific schools, with 25,077 teachers, 726,668 pupils, and an annual income of. $13,696,146. In these States, etc., there were 226,067 teachers em- ployed in the public schools; of these, 87,127 were male teachers, 137,212 female teachers, and of 1,628 the sex v>'as not given. Idaho paid the highest average salaries to both her m.ale and female teach- ers, giving each an average of $162.50 per month in gold. North Carohna paid the smallest average to her male teachers — $25.00 per month. Maine paid the lowest wages to her female teachers — $14.40 per month. In 44 States, etc. — all that reported — the average wages of male teachers was $55.40 per month, and of female teachers $43.18 per month. ^ The total annual income of the public schools in the 48 States, etc., was $73,756,987.75. Of this immense sum, about $57,000,000 was raised by taxation, $3,600,000 was interest on permanent funds. and the remainder from the sale of lands, rate-bills, and other sources. The expenditures are divided into two classes, the one of current, the other of incidental expenditures. Under the first class come teachers' wages, fuel, etc. Under the second, the cost of sites, build- ings, repau's, libraries, apparatus, and other objects. The amount paid for teachers' wages in these States, etc., in 1872, Avas about $45,- 500,000. For fuel, lights, rent, repairs, stationery, and sch5ol-books, $6,500,000 was expended in the States which reported these items. In 30 States and Territories $19,600,000 was paid for buildings and sites. In 16 States, $560,000 was expended for libraries and apjiara- tus. The entu-e expenditure in 37 States and Territories, in 1872, was $70,991,381.73. Thirty-two States only report their school fimd and its condition. The aggregate schot)l funds of these States amoimts to $64,746,971.93. Several of the States iiot reporting have large funds, and it is probably within boimds to estimate the present value of the school funds of all the States at not less than $80,000,000. 84 EDUCATIONAL The followmg table shows the number of colleges and collegiate institutions, instructors and students, in each State in the Union.

Some of them, like the Cooper Union in New York, the HDUCATIONAL 85 Peabody Institute at Baltimore, and the Stevens Institiite at Hobo- ken, are magnificent foundations, and furnish opportunity for the highest free education in a,rt matters. There are also numerous schools of higher instruction in music, with eminent teachers and a large attendance. Special schools for instruction in navigation, sur- veying, mining, metallurgy, chemistry, and civil engineering are also becoming numerous. ]\Iost of the Mercantile Library Associations have classes for the instruction of their members in modern languages, mechanics, higher mathematics, etc., and many of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tions have also established such classes.

EXPENSES PER HEAD OF THE STATES FOR SCHOOL PURt'OSES. The United States Commissioner gives some very interesting figures in regard to the annual expenditure in each State, for each child of school age. In the list Nevada stands first, California third, and Connecticut fourth. But in Nevada and California, a large pro- portion of the expense is caused by the erection of new school-houses, so that the tal)le gives these States a better standing than they are entitled to. Excluding these two, and Massachusetts stands first and Connecticut second. The following is.the table showing the expenditm-e per head of the school population in most of the States and Territories.
