TIEE GmOwTII OF THE NXTIoN.

There is no moro striking feature of the
Presidents Message than that which estab-
liShes the fact that notwithstanding all tho
desolations and rayagcs of this unhappy
civil war, the loyal States have actually
increased in population since 1860 The
net increase during the war. in tho loyal
States and Territories has been l45.-
ISL, not including the soldiers from var
ious States that did not vote in the recent
election. Statisticians, in ordinary times.
estimate that as many AS % per cent of the
population do not voto at ALL The nnm-
ber that did not vote in 1860 and 1854 was
very much less than this and probably
about the same in per cent. But this in
crease does not include tons Of thousands
of foreign emigrants who have arrived
upon our shores, aud who have not beon
naturalized.
This fact Of great increase in our popu.
lation has very important bearing on the
question Of our ability to carry on the war.
II shows that there is yet an abundance
OF men in the land, and that tho rebellion
can be pu down.
The growth IN our population illustrates
several other important facts. Tho popu.
lar vote. in 1860, of all tho states now in
insurrection, WAS S56,524. That Of Now
York this year is 2O,73O, only 1876 ,75l
votes less. That is, tho strength of New
York eloae is nearly equal to that of the
insurrcotiouary States in 1860. But the
population Of the rebelliOus States has bee n
greatly reduced in four years. The raw.
ages Of war have been in tlieir midst.
Their loss of life has been fearful. We
may therefore i0fer that tho popular vote
to-day OF the State Of New York is as great
as that Of all the States in insurrcction.
IL is this wonderful growth OF tho North.

Imnortant Wool suit.

A suit of some interest to dealers In wool
Is likely to come before the next term OF
the u. 5. District Court. The facts of the
case. asalleged in the statement Of the plain
tiff. are that II. G. Davis, the plaintiff In the
suit, a wool dealer of Philadelphia, contract
ed to purchase considerable amount of
wool from d. p. Bayard Of Stark County, O.
a fer the contract had been made, the price
of wool advanced, and eight thousand
pounds of wool, included in the contract,
were sold by Bayard to another person, at a
nrice above that for which it was contract
Cd bv Davis. But wool advanced still furth-
err and Bayard, instead Of delivering TO
either first or second buyers, sold the wool
to stilI another person at still higher rates.
IN learning these facts, Davis commenced
nroceedings in the United States, Court fol
h the Northern District Of Ohio, and Deputy
IT. 8. Marshal Simmons went down and re-
nleyined the wool whilst In transit to the
| last purchasers. 1t was taken to Alliance
by the Deputy Marshal, and shipped u

Aboutan hour after Simmons left with hi

The suit Is Of considerable interest from TIN
fact that there has been considerable loose
ness of ideas among some owners OF woo
and other property as to what constitutes

off any; but the extraordinary price which
everything now brings, makes it necessary
for us to economist wherever we can. 1t is
with regret that we part company from
some of our Brethren of the Press; but "the

which husband sued for damages torillicit
intercourse with his wife, was terminated
in the Circuit Court on Friday by Judg-
mentin favor of the plaintiff
WAll the parties have occupied an nonor-
able' station in society and have been promi-
nent members of the church. The plaintiff,
Mr.. Joseph X. Moody, allowed that on the
first day of February last, and at various
other times, the defendant, MIR. lssac Hoi-
hanback,. had carnal knowledge OF his
(Moody's) wife, and that by his seductive
arts he had alenated the attectionslof ms
wife, thereby destroying his happiness and
comfort. with view to business he claim
ed that he had been damaged in this loss to
the AMOUNT of '$20000. q ~. "a, r,r.F
The testimony in the case developed a.
fearful tale, of domestic intelic1ty, and
showed that HOllanback apd Mrs. Moody
had carried on their criminal intercourse
for several months, during which time the
neighbors noticed them frequently TO-
gether, walking, driving, and at places OF
amusement, during the absence OF the nus
band. When Mr.. Moody's suspicious were
aroused he employed detectives to ascertain
the facts, and they soon established the
guilt of the parties. The wife denied the
charges, but her evidence was not allowed
to be heard. III eTgeh Wu4ud lurd .rema
Mrs. Moody is woman Of rather prepos-
sessing appearance. and seemed to bear the
matter in its pleasantest light. Mr.. Hol-
hanback, is large, rather good looking
man, and the father of an interesting young
lady, who was put upon the stand to prove
an aiibi for the defendants. The jury fixed
the damages at $3,000.aF Isf.a.

TOSUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July II, 1864,
we shall charge for The DAILY OHIO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost Of publishing daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is move than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press-work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet these
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance Of
subscription rates. I1H
It win be seen that the new scale ofprices
is an Increase of but twenty-five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
tion and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF sprint and labor shall fall enough
to render 1t possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessary under the circumstances:

ure-Where Lies the AaespoMsl-
biiity.
M From The New York Hsrald.l
1t is the old story over again. The back
door, by way of the Shenandoah valley, has
been left invitingly open, anda tormidablc
column of hungry rebels from Richmond
have slipped yet once more into Maryland
and, scattering the feeble Union detach-
ments in their way 'chaff, they are car
rying everything before them. With all
| the Instructive lessons of the last three
years, from Stonewall jackson and General
Lee, In reference to the rear Of Washing
ton, neither the Federal Administration
1 nor the local authorities of Maryland and
PENNSYLVANIA appear to have turned these
| instructions to any valuable account. az
| A month ago the Maryland border was
safe enough, because there was no subsist-
ence in the intervening country to Rich
mond for.an invading army but since that
| day the wheat and rye harvest of all the
border States has been gathered in, which
has materially changed the whole face OF
affairs touching the campaign In. Virginia.
But how is it that this powerful invading
column from Richmond has succeeded in
slipping down. the Shenandoah valley and
across the Potomac and into the neart OF
MARYLAND before any positive knowledge on
our side of its actual strength could be OBJ
tanned? A: few words will explain this
mystery. First, General Hunter. repulsed
from Lynchburg, and finding himself in
danger of being enveloped by the forces de-
tailed from Richmond to cut him OIL, dis
covered that his safest line of retreat was
across the mountains to the Kanawha river,
and down that stream 20 the Ohio. he took
this course, and thus the Shenandoah GALLEY Jf0
Stanton do,on TO the Potomac, and all the
short lines of communication betaceen that edt-
len and Richmond, aCere len entirely OPEN
Hunter could not be followed through the
destitute mountainous country into which
he had retreate0. Nor was it desirable to
follow him further after he had left the
Shenandoah valley invitingly open to the
Maryland border, with the chances OF an
opening into Washington. 30
, Where, then, lies the responsibility for
this shameful rebel invasion-for the third
time-of the State of Marylandp Not with
Gen. Grant; for he is not responsible for
the appointment of Hunter or Sigel, to each
of whom, and their late failures to do the
work assigned them, may be traced the
immediate causes Of this daring rebel di-
version from Richmond. These men are
among the pet generals of President Lin
.coln-Sigei especially, who, in falling to
make any seasonable reconnaissance, or
any stand to feel the strength of the enc
my's approaches, permitted them to enter
Maryland, and to sweep beyond the Mono
cacy all distractions before them, from the
ignorance which still prevails ON our side
of their formidable numbers Eg Z. rf'.. il

Democratic state Convention Of
Indianas-1'he Nominations and
nDInffou.nn. a

| Platform.
The Democracy of Indiana had a glori.
Gus State Convention at indianapolis, on
Tuesday, July 18th. Every county was
fully represented; first rate ticketwas put
in nomination; sound platform was adopt
ed; and the Convention adjourned when
harmony and good feeling prevailed. Judge
TURPIE--who came so near beating ScHuY-
LER CoLFAx for Congress, two years ago,
in a district where the Republicans used to
have an immense majority-was elected
President by vote of s96 against 326 for
LAFE DEvELIN; and j. j. BINGHAM, editor
of The indianapolis Sentinel, was made Sec
rotary. The President delivered an able
| and well-considered speech on taking the
chair-after which the following nomina-
tions were made by the Convention: 2s9
For Governor. JOSEPH E. MCDONALD ;
Lieutenant Governor, DAVID TURPIE; Su-
preme Judges, SAMUEL E. PERKINS, JAMES
M. HANNA, JAMES L. WARDEN, and ANDREW

Presidential Electors for the State at
large and for the several Congressional Dis
tricts, were then nominated-when the Con-
vention adopted platform, of which the
following is synopsis: s......
That the Democracy denounce the action
of o. p. Morton in advising and sustaining
the boiling of the Union members of the
legislature; his refusal to call an extra ses-
sion and his creation of a financial bureau;
that the suspension of the writ of hdbeGs
corpus is a crime against liberty; that the
squandering of the public treasure on court
favorites and objects of doubtful character,
is ruinous to the country; that the suppress
sion of newspapers, arbitrary arrests, denial
of the right of asylum to refugees from
foreign despotism, deserve reprobation; that
a faithful adherence to the Constitution Of
the United States, requires restoration of
the supremacy of the Constitution. and of
the rights of the States to lead us to an hon.
orable peace; that we will standby Kentuc-
ky In her defense Of Constitutional rights;
and that we heartily endorse the State
ticket.
The ticket and the platform are unex-
ceptionable. The nominee for Governor is
one of the ablest of the public men of In
diana-conseryative and safe-and will be
elected. OF Judge TURpIE, the candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, the same may be
said. The other nominees are, we believe,
all incumbents at present of the offices to
which they will be reelected.
