FROM THE ILLINOIS INTELLIGESCER,

Messrs. BLACKWELL & BERRY,
GENTLEMEN-As the state of the Their
mometer in different parts of the United
States, seems of late to have excited
a considerable degree of attention, the
following extracts from my register will
no doubt be acceptable to maryland
could they be extended, without taking
up too much room in your paper, to all
the variations of wind, weather, and 9TH
err meteorological phenomena, they
would fully establish the fact, that while
we are confessedly possessed of the most
fertile soil, we are also blessed with one
of the most delightful climates in the
world. While our eastern brethren are
sweltering under the oppressive heat of
from 90 to 1917, we have not seen the
mercury rise either during the last or
the present season, to more than e2s-
and that but once in each season. And
we have almost invariably found our
greatest heats to be SO tempered by the
most delightful breezes as almost wholly
to disarm them of their oppressive and
enervating effects. l have heard many
persons complain of the extraordinary
warmth of the present season. The fol-
lowing comparison will show their En-
ror.

In giving place to the following COM
murication, we should do injustice to
Messrs. Blackwell s. Berry, did we not
state, that the delay in publishing the
laws and journals of the last session of
the Legislature, is to be attributed to the
impracticability of obtaining hands to do
the work. We have had assurances from
Mr.. Blackwell, that every possible ex-
crtion has been made to expedite the
public printing. This explanation was
given to the writer of the article which
follows, who did not, however, deem it
Of sufficient weight to exclude his COM
munication from publication.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
. STATE LAWS AND STATE PRINTING.
Mr.. WARREN,
The public has been much dam
nihed by the unwarrantable delay in the
PRONUNCIATION of the Laws of the last
session of our state legislature. One
term of our circuit and two terms of our
county commissioners courts, have pas
sed without the Laws by which their
powers are defined, and their decisions
to be governed. We grope and suess
from hearsay what the rules of right and
wrong are, as laid down in our code by
the mighty sages who composed our i'm
mortal legislature.
The legislature are inexcusable for
appointing Messrs. Blackwell & Berry
state printers, as they have generally dis
appointed the government in the publ
cation of Laws and Journals and the
notoriety of these constant breaches of
contracts made with the territorial gov
eminent, ought to have made our wise
and distinguished patriots seek for prin-
tiers who would have published the Laws
and Journals according to contract. I
want to know by our Journals what was
done and by whom, that may approve
of the correct and disapprove of the in
correct. Did the legislature appoint
Blackwell * Berry state printers merely
to delay the publication of the Laws and
Journals, that when we get them their
bad deeds might be forgotten or too old
to look after The people of this coun-
try have been much abused by the Kas-
kaskia press, by its constant breaches of
contract in public printing. Let us hope
that the next legislature will set their
faces against such abuse, and protect
their constituents against such provoking
indignity.

Population Of .Neu- York Prom E
Frost, Esq. the gentleman who has, with
remarkable diligence and accuracy, taken
the census of the tenth ward, we learn
that the number of inhabitants in that
section ofthe city is no less than 1862.
In 1915 it was little over 10000; in
crease, in four years, 5000. The 9th
ward, taken by Col. Coffin, is expected
to contain nearly 10000. The lower
wards, however, have not increased SO
rapidly; otherwise the whole city would
be found to contain a population of $50
or 100000; whereas cur highest esti-
mate, which may nevertheless fall short,
has never exceeded 35,oOo-yet the
augmentation will disappoint, if not as
tonish the public. The population was
6o,489 in 1900; 1910 in 1905; sc, 500
in 1910; and 100000 (more probably
100000 in 1915. Since 1900, more
than double. Columbian.
