To the Editor of the National Era:
The census of this city has just been COM
pleted by Mr.. Charles Cist and his assistants
The aggregate in the corporation limits il
l60,l86. There has been a regular increase
of 10 per cent annually, compromising the in
crease in our population since 1870 and prob
ably for longer period Taking the censp,
OF 1910, which gave ms i6382 and adding or
the above ratio, would have given us 100, BOG
in 1850. The number, according to the re-
turns OF the deputies of the United States Mar
shall was ,43s. The loss on account of III,
prevalence of the cholera, and the absence 70,
months of large number of citizens with Their
families, must have been 1000, at least som,
think it more. The following statement viii
show the increase since 1880:

sions from s72, 900 to Sl62 900.
The sum Of $4,000 was voted for, missions
TO Central America, and to pay the expense OF

Mr. Stanton of Tennessee, moved TO raise

sion which was negatiyed
A number Of other amendments were dis
posed of among which was one for appropria.
ting $40, 900 to repair the Long Bridge con.
Meeting the State Of Virginia with the District
Of Columbia.
Thirty thousand dollars were voted for erect.
ing hot-water furnaces and making repairs to
the Presidential mansion.
Mr.. Stanton, of Kentucky, moved that S25 00C
be voted for furnishing the mansion-the usual
vote being SIS, OOO-to be expended under the
direction of the President
MIR Dean suggested that it be expended un-
der the direction of the Presidents wife.
The amendment Of MIR Stanton was adopted
