uon Is composed OF 250,00O Americans, rs. 600 Ger.
mans, 10000 French, 1900 Cinnamon, 20, 900 of
Spanish blood, 200 miscellaneous foreigners, 20. 600
Indians, and 2 500 Negroes. OF these about IS. 900
are women, and perhaps 80, 600 children. We can
only estimate the number of children, having no reli-
able statistics upon that point. According to the esti-
mate, nearly two thirds Of the population are Ameri.
cans, nearly one-thirid foreign birth, one-thirteenth
French, one-thirteenth Germans, one-nineteenth Chit
nese, nearly one-eleventh children, and one-sixteenth
Indians. The census taken last fall Represented the
population to Be 264,436; but the Governor, in COM
munisatipg that document to the Legislature, ex-
pressed his belief that sos, 5O7 was q more correct esti-
mate. The census agents reported 81, 600 Indians

We think 1t too large. According to the census there
we're only $1,000 foreigners, but that We knew to be
too small, as there were nearly that many Germans
and French, without counting the Chinese, Spanish
and miscellaneous foreigners, whs were almost as M.
merous. The Germans and Frenbh each claim to be
more numerous than We have represented them, and
our estimate is ofsred, - in the general features reli.
