The Report Of John G. Kennedy, Esq,
the Superintendent Of the Census, is one
of the most valuable documents Of the
day. Il abounds with facts and figures
on important subjects, derived from the
most authentic sources, We proceed To
notice some Of the most interesting ~
The Population Of the URiOn.-Assu-
ming the population Of California to be
10000, (which we do partly by est
mate, and emitting that of Utah, estima-
ted at 10000, the total number of inhab-
itants in the United States was, on the LIST
of June, 1850, 93,945,30I. The abso-
lutte increase from the first of June, 1910,
has been 6,I76, 348, and the actual in
crease per cent is Sc, 10. But it has been
shown that the probable amount of pop
ulation acquired by additions of territory
should be deducted in making a compar-
isOn between the results of the present
and the last census. These reductions
diminish the total population of the coun-
try, as a basis of comparison to 2S,074,-
SOL, and the increase to 5000, 848. The
relative increase, after4his allowance Is
found to be 35.17 per cent. The aggre-
gate number of whites in 1850 was 49,
619,366, exhibiting a gain upon the num-
Der of the same class since 1850 of g.
423, 37I, and a relative increase of $50
per cent. But excluding the $4,000 free
population supposed to have been acquir-
ed by the addition of territory since 1910,
the gain is 5,27O,37l, and the increase
per cent is 81, j.
The SIaaeS.-The number of slaves,
by the present census, is 8, 1913, 298, which
shows an increase of 711,685, equal to
1856 per cent. If we deduct 10000 for
the probable slave population of Texas
in 1910, the result Of the comparison
will be slightly different. The absolute
increase will be 500, 085, and the rate
per cent 1888.
The Free colored.-The number Of free
colored in 1850, was 428,637; in 1910,
1886, 245. The increase in this class has
been az, 1892, or 1O,9 5 per cent.
Tile norease.-From 1880 to 1910, the
icrease of the whole population was at the
rate of 1857 per cent. AT the same
rate of advancement, the absolute gain for
the ten years last past, would have been
5,378,333 or 426, 515 less than has been,
without including the Increase consequent
upon additions of territory.
Area Of the Substituting the 81
States together, their area is 1,485,97O
square miles, and the average number of
their inhabitants is 1,548 to the square
mile. The total area of the United States
is $3.50, 600 square miles. and the aver
age density of the population is 1919 to
the square mile.
Tie Morto1Iy Of tile Union.-The sta
tistics of mortality for the census year,
represent the number of deaths occurring
within the year as $50, 1874, the ratio be-
ing as one 1875 of the living population,
or as ten to each 726 of the population.
The rate of mortality in this statement,
taken as g. whole, seems so much less than
that OF any portion of Europe, that it must
at present, be received with some degree
of allowance.
The Manufactures.-The entire capital
invested in the various manufactures in
the United States, on the first Of June,
195O-not to include any establishments
