'Fscyeaxs- Tho Report Of J. &C. Ken
ne(iys Esq,, the Superintendent ofthc Census,
Is one Of the most valuable documents Of
the day .Itabounds with Ects and figures
son important subjects, derived from the most
authentic sources. sWe proceed to notice
some of the most interesting: e..
The Population Of the Understanding
the population of California TO be l55,000,
(which we do partly by estimateO and o.-,it-
ting that of Utah, estimarcd Mt $4,000, the
total number of inhabitants in the United
States was, OIL the lst of June, 1850, 23,246,-
3Ol. The absolute Increase from the 1st OF
sJune, l840, has been 6,l76,S4s, end the ac-
tual inceease per cent. is 36.l8. But 1t has
been shown that the probable amount OF
population acquired by additions of territory
should be deducted in making comparison
betv cen the results of tho present and last
census. These reductions diminish the to-
tai population of the country, as basis OF
comparison, to 23,074,30l, and the increase
to 6Ooi s48. The relative increase, after
this allowance, is fSS2nd TO be a5.l7Per cent
The aggregate number OF whites N 1901
l9,6l9.366, exhibiting gain upon the num-
Der of the same class in 1870 of 5,423,37l,
and q relative increase of 1929 per cent
But excluding the $4,000 free population
supposed to have been acquired by the adj
diti0n of territory since 1910, the gain is

population of Texas in 1910, the result of
the comparison will be slightly different
The absolute increase will be 692,0S5, and
the rate per cent. 1888.
The Free ColOred,---The number Of free
colored in 1850 was 52S,637; in 1910, 1885,
245; The increase in this class has been
42,392, or 1895 per cent.
The incredse.---From 1880 TO 1910 the in
crease of the whole population was ut the
rate Of 32.67 per cent At the same rate of
advancement, the absolute gain for the ten
years last past would have been 5,67S,333,
or 426,5l5 less than it has been, without in
cluding the increase consequent upon addi-
tions of territory.
Area of the Staies--Taking the thirty-one
States together, their area is l,IS5,S7O square
miles, and the average number of their in
habitants is l,549 to the square mile. The
total area Of the United States IL AGES, 900
square miles, and the average density of po-
pulation is 1919 to the square mile.
The Mortality Of the UniOn.---Thc statis-
tics of mortality in the census year represent
the number Of deaths occurring within the
year as 32O,l the ratio being rs one to
726 of the living population, or rs ten to
each 726 of the population. The ratio Of
mortality in this statement, taken as whole,
seems so much less than that of any portion
of Europe, that it must at present, be re-
ceived with some degree of allowance.
