The Cenrnn Returns

We have already made mention of some
results of the census of 1860. By this emu
meration, the House Of Representatives in
the XXXVHIth Congress is reduced to 2S3
members, of whom I5l are from the Free
States, so from the Border Slave States, and
30 from the Southern Confederacy. The
seeded States lose and gain Representa-
tives BY this census. The Border Slave States
lose and gain by the same figures. The
net loss to all the slaveholding States is
therefore 4.
The Free States that lose are, Maine, Mas.
sachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island aud Yer
mont one each, New York and Pennsylvania
two each, and Ohio three-in all II. Those
that gain are California one, Michigan two,
Iowa and Wisconsin three each, and Illinois
four-in all l3-net gain, one.
Since the census of 1850, Ohio has risen
from !, $50, ,429 to 2,ss9, ,599, a gain of 359,-
lso, or over Is per cent. Michigan gains 80
per cent, Indiana 81, Illinois lOl, Wisconsin
lO4, Iowa 255, California 3lO, and Oregon
sOs.

Horrible Prnnhecies.

The NewYork correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury draws this startling picture of
the destitution which exists in the northern
States ana particularly in New York, which
will be news to the free and independent
mechanics and other labOring classes in the
North:
"The greater part of the foreign trade will
be diverted southwark, and in short time
pauperism and general distress 10i1 be so great
that risiags and riots S0iH take place, and the
lOhite slaves of commerce and capital, both IN
Nslo York and in Ns1O England, s0iU admins
ter to the lips of their task masters the poisoned
chaties Vhieh they have prepared for tie plant
ere of the South. An ignorant proletarian
mass, whose condition at best is infinitely in
ferior to that Of your negroes, will be sure to
better the instruction they have received
from their oracles. Long taught that prop
erty is robbery they will put the doctrine
into practice at last upon a scale of fearful
dimensions. At this moment there are .ftty
thousand human beings in NslO Pork and
Brooklyn rho kpots not phere theyuiH be able
to get their breakfast tomorrow morning, and
every day the number of the destitute will
greatly increase. The New York papers con-
ceal and gloss over this terrible reality"

feports Relative to the COufederaey'
A disnateh 10 the N. Y. Herald says;


WAsaINaToN, March %, 1861.
Intelligence received here to-day from
Montgomery, states that by the lst Of April
there would be concentrated at Pensacola
Ave thousand troops from the Confederate
States. This sudden movement Of troops IN
that direction was made upon the statement
that reinforcements haq been sent from New
York to Fort Pickens. The Montgomery
government deemed it advisable 10 be faliy
prepared for every emergency.
A good deal of uueaSiness exists at Mont
romery in regard TO the delay Of the Com
missioners in having definite understanding
with the federal government as to the rela-
tons which the seeding States are to sus-
sustain to the authorities at Washington
The Cabinet at Montgomery are not a unit
on its policy. The war element in It is for
abrupt and definite movements, looking to a
collision, and the precipitation OF the border
States into the Southern Coniederacy, while
the peace party is striving to effect settle
ment Of the questions by diplomacy, with a
view of securing the peaceful exit of the cot
ton States out of the Union, hoping by the
laws Of affinity and interest to draw after
them the central slave States. To the cotton
party the three Commissioners belong. They
are each identified in feeling ami policy with
those who seek a pacific adjustment of the
question. Hence the restlessness Of the war
wing at Montgomery.
Its, perhaps, fortunate for the interests Of
the country that the Commissioners are Oi
this way Of thinking, for they hold in their
hands the issue Of peace o. war. They yes
terday received their first months salary-a
thousand dollars each.

ReIrn Of Terror in RIehmond.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
writes from Richmond "There are, am
sorry to say, symptoms of the beginning OF
a Reign OF Terror in this city, if not through
out the State. The lovely party of whom l
spoke in my last procured another and
stronger pole, purchased new guys and again
elevated the rattlesnake flag on Thursday
last The negro traders let themselves loose
on this occasion. They are usually loose
enough in their morals, their manners, their
language and their sWagger; but on this oc-
caiion negrodom was in the very zenith of
its glory. Every grog shop in the fsh-stall
locality was open, all at the expense of the
deep-mouthed, lecherous and brutal autocrats
of wool and ebony. When the flag was hois-
ted to the top of the staff, amid the huzzas of
the drunken mass that swayed and snged
like-the sea, was about to say, but no.
like a filthy pool dashed up by the wind, a
rash individual, who still remembered the
Union of our fathers, let slip the words, al
wish it would blow down before morning"
In less than half minute that man was run
ming for his life, with the yelling crowd at
bis heels. Fear gave him wings and he e5-
capped"

The bill to reduce the fees Of County

amount Of $50, 600, I per cent; over that, !
per cent-but no fees for money received
from the Treasurer Of Estate or his predecessor

stump Orators in yEashinrtou.

A Washington correspondent crowds con-
siderable human nature in the following:
The worst disappointed men who come to
Washington are the little town and ward
politicians, who having astumped" their own
localities fancy the whole world, including
Mr.. Lincoln, must be fully satisfied that but
for each of these the Republican party would
have been defuncs These gentlemen expert
ence much modification, when presented to
the President in finding that he fails to rec
ognize them. One Of them, on being pre-
sented last week, gave his name and residence
10 the party introducing him, which were
repeated to Mr.. Lincoln, who took him by
the hand and passed him gently along to
make room for the. next one. Our stump ora
tor was not satisfied with the introduction,
and managed to undergo a second turn of
the wheel, but with the same result as the
first. The crowd present. seeing chance
for fun, pursuaded him to make a third at
tempt, which also resulted in e similar non
recognition. After this failure he indignant
ly declared be 'tdidn't believe the President
knew who he was, and turning round, took
one glance at Mr.. Lincoln, at distance, and
remarked that the man who didn't know
who it was that elected him President, could
not know much"

Valuable Post omces.

Lest some Of our readers should believe the
exaggerated reports they sometimes hear of
the wealth, and the liberality of the whole
South, and OF the amount they pay into the
national treasury, we give an opinion from
the Augusta Sentinel, which says that many
Of the little Southern post Offices are such
only in name. "For instance, we fnd that for
the year, ending September 80, 1889, the net
proceeds of each of five Offices in Florida was
under ten cents. Three Of them received
four cents each, h,and one of them three cents"

how A PHILADELPHIA NEGRO MADE For
TUEE.-The Philadelphia North American
says:
Among the sterling portion of the colored
people Of Philadelphia, the late James Pros
ser will long be remembered. Prosser was to
Philadelphia what Downing is to New York
except that Prosser leaves about S25. 600 a.
the result Of his thrift, and integrity, while
Downing is worth at least five times that
amount. For nearly half a century Mr.. Pros
ser kept restaurant in Market street. and
was fivorably known to the greater portion
of the business community. He reached an
advanced old age, and was buried on Satur-
day last By his own people he was highly
esteemed, and not by the poorest among them
was his well earned competence begrudged
BE would at any time sooner have gone to
the poor house than tell a lie or take penny
that was not his own"

GENERAL BEAUREGARD.-A Charleston cor
respondent thus describes the commander of
the army of the Confederate States eThe
General looks more like a French marshal
than an American soldier. He is about 5
feet inches, deeply brOnzed, with grizzly
moustaehs, black hair, and a calm, but
searching black eye. His head denotes great
mathematical powers, and his whole appear
ance is marshal and impressive in the ex-
treme."

Stirring news may soon be expected from
Texas. Sam Houston, although formally de-
posed from the Governorship of the State by
the Rebels Convention, does not intend to
give up his place without a struggle. Des-
patches from there just received here, draw a
gloomy picture of affairs, and declare that
civil war is inevitable. He has the Conven-
ton and host of the rebels arrayed against
him, but be is not the "0ld Sam Of former
days ifhe cannot End hackers enough to show
fight. The latest information indicates that
he has studied his position, and taken firm
stand against the secsders. He expresses no
fear of the ultimate result OF the conflict,
which he seems to regard as very near.
There is q considerable degree Of excite
ment here in consequence of the desertion of
several men from the federal forces which
were drawn together for the defence of the
capital. 1t is rumored that the deserters have
gone South, for the purpose Of joining the
army Of the rebels, and suspicious Of foul
play between officers and men are freely ex-
pressed.
