Washington City.-Thc present population
of our National Capital is about 81 900 peo-
pie. The census of 1850 gave a population
of fl 900. In eight years, therefore. Wash
ington has gained $1,000 inhabitants, an
increase of more than 90 per cent. If this
ratio be preserved until 1860. the population
of Washington City in that year viii be 67,-

ted during the last year. chiefly of brick
and many of them of great cost. In addition
to these, several hundred thousand dollars
have been expended upon the public buildings
giving constant employment to about l 800
mechanics and laborers. This does not in

are annually erected, and where from 500 to

Seizure of an Alleged SLAYER.

NEW YORK, November 3.
Information having been received at the
Marshals Office that the brig s. Z. Hooper,
lying OF Pier No. 4, e. R., had been engaged
on a slave voyage, from which she had just
returned, the Marshal and two of his deputies
proceeded to the vessel and took possession Of
her. 1t is stated that she was fitted out at
Charleston, s. c., and went to Havana, thence
to Cienfuegos and the coast of Africa, where
she took in cargo Of negroes and landed
them on the south side of Cuba. After landing
the blacks there the mate took the vessel into
Campeachy, obtained fraudulent papers and
sailed for New York, where he was dispos-
sessed by power of attorney sent on from
Charleston by the owners. When she WAS
fitted out she was schooner, but the mate
had her altered to brigantine and brought
her as such to this port. Her name is in very
small letters and she has been totally divested
Of her internal fittings as SLAYER. Capt
Payne, of the J. @. Hooper, took passage on
board bark for New York, but died on the
voyage. His remains were kept and buried on
Staten Island. Deputy Marshal Miller is now
in possession of the SLAYER. The mate is anx-
iously looked for and it is probable the briga-
tine will be sold for the benefit Of the United
States Government.

Some one Must Make a Move.

Who will start the much needed institution
near this city Of an Industrial School? We
need one, and some ardent, earnest man must
enlist his heart in this benevolent observa-
tory uphill project. He must be an indom-
table, industrious, successful o. M. MITCH
ELL kind of man. If THANE MILLER would
enter upon the work, he would make the en-
terprise "roll," as J. N. FREE eloquently says
If he took up the cause of the neglected and
SHINING boys, he would never "renounce," but
go right on. We want an Industrial School
started hereabouts. The people of Cincinnati
have had the plan explained to them. That
practical good man, Hon. JOHN A. FoorE, of
Cleveland, ever good at school work, and in
judicious reform, spohe eloquent and con-
vincing words to the Cincinnatians last year.
Seeds were sown, the subject has been thought
about. A stir in the direct direction must be
made this winter. If bold, hearty-hearted
and earnest-minded man takes hold of the
subject at the right end and the right time,
we will have home for numerous children
now growing up in idleness, ignorance and
crime. We will give some hints of what has
been done that we may Judge what can be
done. We pay the same expense in enduring
their crime and in Furnishing it.

body of Sonny White, the rowdy, who was

verdict was rendered, attributing the killing to
accident, the wound having been inflicted by q
stray shot. No evidence was elioited showing
that Duffy, who was arrested for the act, had
anything to do with Il. ae h D..
An inquest is now in progress on the body of

the injuries he received. .sr
The returns from Cecil and Howard Counties

The returns indicate that the Democrats will
have majority in the House. The Senate is
in doubt. The returns from the city wards are
not complete yet. The Americans will have
about II 900 majority, which, ofcourse, secures
their State ticket by heavy majority. So far
there appears to be no change in the Congress
sional delegation. .--.,4

indignation and distress at the murder of their
