STATISTICS OF THE GLoBE.-The fol
lowing curious facts are stated 10y the
Abellle M edicale: The earth is inhabi-
ted by 1888 millions of inhabitants viz,
800 600 of tho Caucasian race; $50 900,
coo of the Mongolian race; 10000 900
of the Ethiopian, 100000 of the
American Indian, and 00,000,000 of
the Malay races. All these respectively
speak 3604 languages, and profess diff,
ferent religions. The amount of deaths
per annum is 333, 1888, or 81 ,954 pc
day, $3.50, per hour, 60 per minute, or
| per second; so that at every pusa,ion
of our heart a human being dies. This
loss is compensated by al equal number
of births. The average duration of life
throughout the globe is 33 years. One.
fourth of it's population dies before the
seventh year, and one half before the
seventeenth. Out of 10000 persons
only one reaches his hundre,ith year,
only ore in 500 hls eightieth; aud only
one in 100 his sixty fifth. Married peo
pie live longer than unmarried ones;-
and a tall man is likely to live longer
than a short ono. Until the fiftieth year
women have better chance of like than
men; but beyond that period the chan.
ces are equal Sixty five persons out
of 1000 marry; the months of June and
December are those in which marriages
are most frequent. Children born in
spring are generally stronger than those
born in other seasons. Births aud deaths
chiefly vocur ut night. The number of
men able to bear arms is but one eighth
of the population The nature of the
profession exercises great influence on
longevity; thus. out of 100 OF each of
the following professions the nur,ber of
those who attain their seventieth year
is-Among clcrgymen, 42; agricuitur
allsts, 40; traders and manufacturers,
33; soldiers, 80; clerks, 80; lawyers 20;
artists, %; professors; 27; and pnysl-
clans. "a; so that those who study the
art of proonging the lives of others are
most likely to die early, probably on
account of the effluvia to which they
are constantly exposed. There are in
the world .335 millions of Christians, 5
millions :, { Jews, 600 millions protesting
some of the Asiatic religions, l60 mll.
lions of Mohammedans. aud 2 millions
of Pagans. Of the Christians, 10 mil-
lions profess the Roman Catholic, 70
millions the Greek, aud 80 millions the
Protestant creeds.

THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
SATURDAY MORNING, oCr. "a, 1868.

AN OPINION Gov. Wallaces affinity
(the Lewiston Age) is trying very hard to
make capital for Wallace out of something
Judge Cannady dt,in't say in a speech he
made at Lewiston some time ago, wherein
allusion was made to Vallandigham of Ohio.
The Age has it that "NIr C. prayed that the
people of Ohio would return Yallandisham
as Governor of that State"
With all due regard for the veracity of
the misinfo~med editor of the Agc, we must
beg leave to state that in publishing this
charge he misrepresents Mr. Cannady's po-
sition. We are told by several gentlemen
who heard the speaking, that the position
taken by Mr.. c. was substantially the same
as that of Senator Harding, of Oregon, viz:
"That between a radical Abolitionist and
Vallandigham, for Governor of Ohio, lie
would prefer the latter" We see that tie
Washington Standard, the great spokesman
of the Republican party in this Territory
endorses Harding's position.
Judge Cannady, learning that the Re-
publicans misrepresonted him in what he
said in his first speech at Lewiston made a
second one, and clearly defined his position
as to the point in question, to be simply
that between a radical Abolitionist and Val
landigham he would prefer the latter.
Neither Harding nor Cannady endorse
Vallandigham, or his position. 1t is sim
ply an opinion with these gentlemen that
there is more loyalty with the Valandig-
hamers than there is with the Wendell Phil
lipses, the Conways, and that class of men
who have been disloyal for years men who
cOunteDanced and encouraged disob edence
to the Fugitive Slave law long before the
present rebellion was inaugurated men who
have said "let us have a Government where
all men are free and equal negroes and all,
and just as if government Of that kind
could exist, freel Or s,oecp a'ooy this rem
nant Of a Union aee hare" men who have
said 'we are willing to accept either Jnion
or Disunion on the basis of emancipation"
thus showing cOnclusively, that they care
more for emancipation than they do for Ell
ther the Constitution or the Union. Has
Vallandigham or any other Copperhead
ever been as disloyal as that? If so, the
Age will please inform US. 1t is clear that
the Abolitonists like the negro and hate
the old Union; but it is not so clear that
the Copperheads hate either the Consttu
ttion or the Union, though they do hate the
war, and we think have very poor plan for
putting down rebellion and upholding and
maintaining both the Constitution and the
Union.

WALLA WALLA-PAsT AND PRESENT
Wonderful have been the settlement, pro-
gress and advancement of the Walla Walla
valley during the past FIVE years, or rather
since 1850, when a crusty old Major of
Dragons, after much parley and hesitation,
greatly to the annoyance of a number of
hardy pioneer immigrants who came 10 make
new homes here--at length deigned to issue
his pronunciamentO, allowing them to come
into the valley and open farms. The Walla
Walla valley at that time probably did not
muster fifty inhabitants, and what is now
a city of substantial prosperity and high
promise in the future, could then vaunt of
only one or two rude log structures, and the
staple commodity offered for sale was "bad
whisky"--a few halfbreeds and Indians
constituting the regular customers. The
eal ly farmers of the valley remember well
what an "up p-hill' work they had in getting
along when they first settled here; what a
poor market they had for the produce of
their farms, surplus of which was always
on hand, for the want of sufficient market.
All hands at that time depended on the pat
ronage of the U S. Qartermaster for the
purchase of their grain, etc; and they can
at this date wildly recall to mind how the
"celebrated" "Krkam's clique" used to ''do
the thing up brown" A mean favoritism
then prevailed, and it was as difficult for a
plain, straightforward farmer to sell his
oats to Uncle SAM as it is for "caYIel TO
go through the eye of a needie;' all man
ner of tom foolery, subseryiency and boot
licking" had to be gone through with ere
our farmers could sell anything Now, what
change Military cliques, rules and sur
veillance are played cut" every one now
has "sbow;" he is not dependent on Mr..
Quartermaster or Mr. anybody else, in par
ticular, for the sale of his cereals. Happily,
the cash markets in the city of Walla Wala
and the mining districts around obviate that
necessity. Brass buttons" and shoulder
straps, (no reflection on present company
to day have not that magic influence over
the minds of our people which they really
seemed to have few years ago. The change
is healthy one, pleasant to look upon and
gratifying in the extreme. "Industry, en-
terprise and zeal'-these are the watch
words of our people and they have gone forth
to the full assertion of their character as an
intelligent liberal minded, economical and
thrifty class of citizens.

THE COUNTY DEBT.-Our efficient Coun-
ty Treasurer and Auditor, Messrs. Jas.
McAulif and L. J. Rector, have been en-
ployed for the past several weeks, endeav.
oring to ascertain the amount of the county
Indebtedness, and have expended a vast
deal of labor and time to this end, so as to be
able to make an ineligible report to the
Grand Jury, now in session. The books,
as far back as any have been kept, have
been reviewed and posted. Some of them
especially those of the first auditors--have
been badly kept; and in some cases where
county scrip has been redeemed no registry
has been made, and other similar errors ap-
pear Therefore, to get at the exact amount
of the Indebtedness, without calling in the
scrip, is quite an impossiblity We are in
formed by the Auditor that the debt will
probably reach from $4,000 to $4,000,
and by the Treasurer that the amount of
scrip now drawing interest is S21 ,286.
There is probable amount of five to ten
thousand dollars outstanding that has never
been presented to the Treasurer for accep-
tance. 1t is known that a considerable
amount of scrip has been lost and destroyed
by holders, and it is therefore quite likely
that in case of calling in the scrip, the
amount outstanding would be found to not
greatly exceed the amount shown by the
books of the Treasurer to be drawing inter-

MORE PATRIoTIsM.-Judge Hays, of
Idaho, has quit "hankerin" after Congress
ional honors, and withdraws from the con-
test in favor of Wallace, his time-honored
enemy He has also "given over his late
opposition to the emancipation proclamation.
Whether he has sacrificed the entire Consti
tuition with its guarantees to American citi-
zens of "freedom of speech and of the the
press" etc., in order to elect Wallace and
thereby save the Union, wearc not informed.
However, he has sacrificed much to keep
half a dozen noisy uninfuential secessionists
from turning Idaho over to the Southern
CoDfederacy, and for this he should be here
after known and designated as "magnani-
nous Hays"-a fitting title for patriot of
much greenback notoriety. He should be
well rewarded, William WaIlace,--if you
are the luc ky ''eoming man" fact of which
there is plenty of room to doubt.
