Some interesting facts, as we'll AS material for
-auahe deductions are furnished by the census
tables published in another column, showing the
population of Missouri by counties, classified &C
coTdiug to condition. aud also the number of
slave owners in each county of this State.
Douglas county IS the only one in the State in
which there are no slaves. There are twenty
four cuuuties in which the number of slaves is
less than one hundred each, the average being
about f9Tty-six
'Laylayeite has tu5 largest number, 6347, OF
about one-eigbteenth of the whole number in the
State. There are twenty counties having an
average Of 1856, and an aggregate of 7l,35S, or
about 81 per cent. CT the whole number IN the
State
There are il3 counties in Missouri 1t will be
observed that there are "a Ga2 slave owners in
the State to IlIe3l slaves, tbs ratio being AZ
slaves TO Que OWNS
These are small holdings aud indicate the de
cline Of the iUaljuti5a. for where slavery is Wig.
oTous ard has fee c5.Tse the tendency is to
largo propriet0Tshp both of slaves and land.
Even in this State, the same tact is indicated.
Thus the counties Of Barton, Carter, Harrison,
Mercer, Oregon, Putnam Reynolds, Schuyler,
Stone, and Texas are the smallest in slave pop
ulali0u These Ter counties have 296 slaves to
$50 oWnerS-an average u q little more than
two to each-whIe III Lafayette the average Of
slaves to each owner Is nearly seven
These tables afford a curious subject Of study
in various points Of view. Il is to be remem-
bered, however, that these are the results of the
census of 1860, and tuat a very great change
has taken place within ide last two years, so
that a similar census to-day would give retuT. 5
