"FAIrHFyL FOuND."-Historians will
have to record the fact that in the Great
Iusurr ection of lS6l-2, throughout the
Seeding States, the oppressed Colored
people (boud and free) we're the truest,
best, most self-sacri6cing, most servicesble
friends of the Union. Their welcome to
the Union soldiers was hearty and cheer.

their little means-to make them comfort
able. Many Of them risked life itself in
our bebalf-and we reeoilect no traitors
among them, tho some were misled, BY
ignorance or compulsion. A volume
would hardly contain fair record Of oil

pT Newspapers are allowed to be great
institutions (st least, the CHRONICLE and
several others are)-but too much Of Q
good thing becomes burdsusome and an
evil. Well supported, journalists can
stand up for the right like heroes-but
when want and hunger haunt and tempt
them, no wonder some poor frail mortals
write semi-Secession and other vspid and
abominable doctrines, as three or four are
supposed to do!
We are led to make these sage observa.
tions by seeing the three English newspa-
pers in Suubury quarreiing and affidavit
iug" By the column about dollar adver-
tisemeut-not that one Of them cares for
the dollar, of course they are merely con-
tending for the truth, like a dozen hun

Snyder county, moreover, has four po-
litical papers, (and also German reli-
gious journal for circulation generally. }
One of the four home papers is in Ger

last winter..procured the passage Of an Act,
that, Gin addition" to the two publications
before required, certain advertisements
of executors and others acting in an OH,
ciai or fiueiary capacity shall appear in
the German paper at Middleburg also.
The Esglish editors denounce this legisla-
tiou as partial, arbitrary, aud onerous.
10 = small county like that, it would seem
to US, publications in tsco papers would be
sufficien.-we supposed, however, the Ger
man elemen. was numerous and important
enough to require one publication in that
language. but then the "Drucker" would
get away some fat jobs from one or
the other Of the three English editors
and so the Act meets condemnation. The
whole trouble seems to be-two many
printers. One paper for less than 1000
population-one paper for less than 500 |
vo,ers-is evidently too many for the
business or political wants Of the people
hence the avidity with which patronage is
sought after.

who for Congress.

THE loyal people of this congressional
District are soon to decide as to who shall
be our next congressman. Several news
papers, among which is the Perryshurg
JOnHdi are out for the denomination of Gen.
Ashley. 1t seems to he the policy of the
Union party to hold fast to all officers wheth-
er Democratic or Republican. who prove
themselves faithful and worthy officials
The object of this IS to prevent q general
scramble among rival Office seekers for place
and position and to preserve harmony and
good feeling in the party. This policy has
generally worked well and az far as our feel
ings are concerned We believe it the correct
policy, il is desirable at this time to avoid
q heated political canvass, and if the envia-
Bile position ofCOngressman is to be thrown
open to new men, there will be at least half
dozen new candidates in the District pre-
scnting their claims ior the place. 1t is easy
70 see shat this will produce as many differ
ent factions in the district, and it may be al
most an impOssiblity 10 agree upon the man.
This is poor time to swap horses and five

sincerely believe that if his policy of treat
ing the rebels as hell-deserving cut throats
and outlaws, and as forfeiting every polite
al right under the constitution, had been o.
dopted by the Government we should have
had less war, less taxes, and less butchery OF
Union men, lie has been radical man, hut
no more so than thousands of Democrats,
who now unite with that class in demanding
. vigorous prosecution of the war, and that
evorymeans which God has given us be used
to smash the rebels. Therefore at this late
hour his radicalism strongly recomends him
TO the people. The idea of concilation is now
an exploded theory. Tie Tebols can't be
conciliated, or compromised or conquered
by Kindness they must be whipped. Al
9enaible men believe this, and all loyal mel
believe that we can do it, if we show oul
strength and take advantage of their weak
ness. The nationis passing most trying or

Thus, according to best estimates, the total
population of the United States At the close of
the present century will be about a hundred
millions, All observing persons will perceive
that the ralatve Increase oil the whites exceeds
that Of the colored, aud that the disparity is
gradually becoming more aud more favorable to
this part of our population. Leaving the issue
of the present civil war for time to determine
it should be observed, if large numbers of slaves
shall be hereafter emanc. .pstad, so many will be
transferred from faster 10 slower rate of in
crease. Ia this case, nine mious Of the color
ed, in the year 1900, appears large estimate.
OF those great portion will be mixed descent.
Since 1850 one-ninth part OF tke colored class
were returned as malattoes. In regard to emf
grafton, the number colonzed by the American
Colonization Society and its auxiiaries during
the pas, ten years, has averaged about 900 per
anuum, besides the Africans captured on several
slave ships, Tue total number OF coored emi,
grants sent to Liberia from IQ2Q to lSaa, inclu,
sjYe, is stated ~ 4o9, oG whom &,G7G were free
born,
With regard Il manumissiou, It appears from
! the returns that during the census year they
numbered a little more than 5, 1000, being more
/ than double the number who were liberated in
1850, or at the rate Of one each to ,4O9, where
as, during 1850, the manumissions weae as one
to every 2,l9l slaves. Great irregplarity, as
might naturally be expected, appears to exist for
the two periods whereof we have return OH this
subject. BY the eighth census 1t appears that
manumissions have greatly increased in number
in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
sssippi, North Carolina and Tennessee, while
they have decreased in Delaware and FLORIDA,
and varil but little in Kentucky, Missouri, South
Carolina and Virginia, and other saveholding
States not mentioned
The number of slaves who escaped from their
masters in 1850 is not only much less in proper
tion than 1860, but greatly reduced numerically.
The greatest increase of escapes appaars to have
occurred in Mississippi, Missouri and Virsi"i-

, That the complaint of insecurity to slave pro-
perty by the escape of this class OF persSns into

whereby its value has been lessened, in the re-
suit Of missapprehensOn, is evident, not only
from the small numbers who have been lost tO
their owners, but from the fact that up TO the
present time the number of escapes has beer

Judge Ranny OstraCised by his
Party for Aiding I'm the Re-
Cruittng Service.

Our readers will remember that Judro II.
p. Ranney, the Democratic candidate for
Judge of Supreme Court, having overcome
the IFS and bWs which were troubling him
at the Fourth of July convention, made an
earnest war speech at Lancaster, few DAYS
since, at the urgent request Of Gov. Tod in
promotion of the recruiting service. A re-
port of his speech appeared in this paper,
aud twas noticed by the reporter that some
of the Judges political friends were greatly
incensed at the patriotic tone of his remarks.
Our attention is called to the issue of tho
Ohio Lancaster Eagle, of the oath of July,
IN whicb The name Of Judge Rdnnev is
omitted from the Democratic STATE Ticket,
WbicR stands at tie head Of he paper, and
no explanation of so remarkable an omission
given. The fact is perfectly plain. The to-
ry miscreants of Fairfield county could not
bear TO hear one of their candidates advo-
eating the enlistment of troops. In our
Judgment, throat cutting time has pretty
nearly come in that quarter as we'll as in sew
eral others in Ohio. The following letter
states the facts as to the removal Of Judge
Rannys name from the ticket, and the treas
