THE National Legislature consists of a Senate of two members from each State, making the full Senate now consist of seventy-six members,, and a House of Representatives, now having two hundred and ninety-three members. The Senators are chosen by the Legislatures of their several States, for a term of six years, either by concurrent vote or by joint ballot, as the State may prescribe. The members of the House of Representatives 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 admission 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 expiration of any Senatorial term, on the second Tuesday after its first meeting, to erect 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 until choice has been made. Vacancies are to be filled in like manner. The members of each House receive a salary of $5,000 per annum, and actual mileage at twenty cents per mile. For each day's absence, exccpt when caused by sickness, $8 per diem is deducted from the salary. The Speaker of the House of Representatives receives $10,000. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. The House of Representatives of the United States is composed of nembers elected by Districts.
