AGRICULTURE, POPULATION, AND MANU-
rACTUREs--Tho Report of J. c. G. Ken
nedy, Esq, the Superintendent ofthe Census,
is ono of the most valuable documents of
the day. 1t abounds with facts and figures
on important subjects, derivedfrom the most
authentic sources. We proceed to notice
some of the most interesting:
The Formulation Of the misunderstanding
the population of California to be 10000,
(Which we do partly by cstimateD and omit
ting that of Utah, cstimarcd Mt 10000, the
total number of inhabitants in the United
States WAS, on the lst Of Junc. 1850, 232l6,-
30l The absolute increase from thG lst OF
June, 1910. has been 6,l7GSiS, end the ac-
tuai incacase per cent. is 36.lS. But 1t mas
! been shown that the probable amount OF
population acquired by additions Of territory
should be deducted in making Il comparison
between the results Of the present and last
census. These reductions diminish the to-
tGl population Of the country, as basis of
comparison, TO 23,O74.3Ol, and the increase
tn G,OOl,8lS. The relative increase, after
this allowancc,i is found 20 be 3j.l7 per cent.
The aggregate number Of whites In 1850
l9,6l9,366, exhibiting y gain upon the num-
! Der of the same class in 1910 of j,l23,37l,
and relative increase Of 39.29 per cent.
! But excluding the $4,000 free populatIun
| supposed to have been acquired by the ad-
/ ditiCn Of territory since $40, the gain is
| 5.25n 81, and tha incrr's" per cent is 31li.
