The ratio for a member of congress is 127, 316. Under the old apportionment it was less than 100,000. The number of representatives being fixed at two hundred and thirty-three, requires a new apportionment for every new census, which is taken every ten years. In the next census (1870) it will probably require 160,000 population for a representative.
