But this gives only 220 members, leaving 13 to be assigned to the States having the largest residuary fractions. In the column of fractions, those marked thus, †, entitle the State to an additional Repre sentative, 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. XXIII. POPULATION OF SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL CITIES, According to the several Censuses of the United States. It is lawful for any person to bring to the Mint gold and silver bullion to be coined; and the bullion so brought is there assayed and coined, as speedily as may be after the receipt thereof, and, if of the standard of the United States, free of expense to the person or persons by whom it has been brought. But the Treasurer of the Mint is not obliged to receive, for the purpose of refining and coining, any deposit of less value than one hundred dollars, nor any bullion so base as to be unsuitable for minting. And there must be retained from every deposit of bullion below the standard such sum as shall be equivalent to the expense incurred in efining, toughening, and alloying the same; an accurate account of which expense, on every deposit kept, and of the sums retained on account of the same, which are accounted for by the Treasurer of the Mint with the Treasurer of the United States.
