The Census of 1860.

The New York Times contains a
carefully prepared estimate of the
population of the United States, based
largely on the State enumerations of
1854 and 1855. 1t assumes from
these data that the census of 1850
will show population in Illinois of
100000 in Iowa 100000 Michi-
gan 100000; Minnesota 100000 ;
Wisconsin 100000 Kansas 10000 ;
Nebraska $4,000, &c The slave pop.
ulation of the Union is set down in
round numbers at 1000, 900 and the
free population at 100000 whites,
and 500, 900 blacks. Assuming that
the ratio of representation in the lower
House of Congress under the new
census will be one Representative fol
each 1914 900 inhabitants, the Times
constructs the following table to show
the relative gains and losses in the
several States:

The Split.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial, dated Charleston, April
3Oth, says the Democratic party is ir-
retrievably scattered, and disrupted
from turrent to foundation stone. Al.
most the entire South will eventually
put out. When it was declared by a
delegate that in sixty days from this
time there will be united South-the
hall rang with tremendous approba
ton for many minutes. The excite
mcnt was intense and universal. The
remainder of the Convention can now
nominate Douglas, if they desire
The South dcnouncc the platform

dishonor of the party.

The County Finances.

Editor Of The Intelligenoer
Much uncasincss and dissatisfac-
ton appear to exist among the tax
payers of Floyd county in regard to
the County Finances. The Jackson
defalcation is pretty we'll understood
at least we do not understand that
single dollar of the five thousand
which jackson, or others, robbed from
us. has ever been refunded. After
that we had "rcform ticket" and on
that ticket David Ripley was elected
Judge, and Silas Smith Treasurer
elected by Republicans. Since this re
form administration expired we have
it currently stated that Silas Smith is
a dcfaultcr to the amount OF S2,2OO,
and that he has left the country--per-
haps gone in pursuit of jackson. But
you, Mr.. Editor, and others, tell us
that the bondsmcn are good and the
money is safe. That is what we fear
Is not the money too satc-so safe
that the people will never sec a dollar
of it? Will the bondsmcn pay VI
the deficiency promptly? Why have
they not already done it Are the!
not waiting to be sued, and will they
not litigatc the matter and DEFY Us
to collect it? HJW the Grand Jury
attend to this business, and will suit
be commenced at the next term of the
district Court D.?
But, Mr.. Editor, the public do not
wish to be kept in suspense that long
and would respectfully suggest thai
the Republican County Convention
which will meet in St. Charles mex
Saturday, appoint committee to ex
anime into this rumorcd delinquency
or dcfalcation, of Smiths, and rcpor
the facts and circumstances, as the,
shall find them, by publication al
soon as may be in the lntelligenccr
The Republicans having elected Rip
ley and Smith, conceive it to be thei
duty to look aftet the official acts O
these men and see that honest ia:
payers are not robbed through thei
misdcmcanors. A TAX PAYER.

meet at Baltimore on the 18th Of June
After the nine Southern States had
withdrawn from the Convention, the
remaining Southern States demanded
that two.thirds vote of full con.

would also withdraw from the CON

passed requiring such two-thirds vote.
Some sixty ballotings were had, when
it was found utterly impossible to ef-

requisite two.thirds. The balance OF
the votes were divided between Guth

BY these figures-and as far as we
can discover they are the result of a
careful computation-the Northwest
crn States are the only ones, with the
exception of Texas, which will have
an increased representation in Con
rress. The Eastern and Middle States
lose in the aggregate 10 Representa-
tives the Southern States IL. The
Slave States gain 4, and the Free
States IA. All of the gains in the
Free States are in the North West, OF
which Illinois will have 5, and Iowa
4. The exhibit is hatterng one to
Iowa.
