INTERESTING STATISTICS OF THE UNITED
STATEs.-The following interesting item of
statistics was prepared in the United States
Census Bureau, Department of the Interior,
and taken from report in reference to the
area, population and density of population
of the United States -
The land and water surfaces If the United
States are equal to 3,250,000 square miles
land 3,01O,37O, water about. 240,O square
miles. The States embrace 1904, 351 square
miles oflanded surface and the Territories l.
206,016 miles, as exhibited by the eighth CEN
sus of 1850 The number of inhabitants in
the United States returned in 1860 was 81
443, 321-in the States 31,148,O46. and $685.
275 in the Territories-thus showing an av-
erage Of seventeen inhabitants to each square
mile i'll the States, while in the Territories
there are four square miles to each inhabi-
tant, and exclusive of the District of Column
bia the territorial area would represent five
and one-ifth square miles to each inhabitant.
In 1890 Massachusetts had 157, Rhode Is
land 1873, New York so and Pennsylvania 90
inhabitants to the square mile, which rate
applied to the United States would give 472
100000 in Massachusetts,, 400,0O0,OO0 in
huoue lsiauu, S4O,VVU,UUU III new 1OTR ana
$4,000, 600 in Pennsylvania. Belgium, Eng
land and Wales and France in 1856 had 3S7,
3O7 and 176 inhabitants to the square mile
respectively. If the United States was as
densely populated as France our population
would number 52S,0OO,OOO, or if populated
as densely as England and Wales 1000,
900; and if according to Belgium's density
OF population (397 to the square mile) the
United States would contain 1,195, 600, 900
which is 110,086, 900 more than the entire
population of the world in 1866.

them to make good their cherished dream of
Southern independence. They are even silly

THE PRESIDENT oN THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
Messrs. Owen and Griswold, OF the Connecticut
Republican State Committee, have published a
fuller statement of their interview with Prcsi.
dent johnson than that announced by telegraph.
They say:
Senator Foster introduced us, and the Presi.
dent received US cordially. Much conversation
ensued not intended for publication. Tho Pre-.
sident's views arc just and decided upon the
duty of the national government not to interfere
in State elections. lie himself does not desire
to make remarks to be quoted and banded
about in heated local contests. But he says
freely, as he has before, that il is altogether
too late in the day to ask him if he desires the
success of the Union party Of the country, in
view OF all the occurrences Of the last four or
five years. lie says that he does desire it,.
Whatever differences of opinion ho has with
members of that party he expects to fight out
within the lines of that organization. lie has
appointed none but members OF that party 10
Office and expects to continue in that course
lie adhcros firmly to the principle ioi that par
ty as laid down by its last national convention,
and positively believes that all his measures
and views have been and are in strict coniormi-
ty with those principles. lie said there had
been no interference. whatever, by any men,

msh while they lay by and waited and watched
tho popular indications. "COme out" said
he, "come out like men and define your posi-
tions. Let us hear IRON YOU: call for the
leaders Of the party" Mr.. Wright and Mr..
buchanan sat near each other on u line with
Mr.. Clay, who. obviously, directed his remarks
to one or both of them. Mr.. Wright looked
up for moment, picked with his finger the
hair behind his ear, and turned to his writing
Mr.. Buchanan looked up and listened, and
when Mr.. Clay took his seat, arose and re-
piled, with high indgnation--was surprised at
the gentleman from Kentucky: "lle knows
well, and the Senate can bear me witness. that
I am prompt and direct in expressing my opin-
ions on the subjects as they arise, but choose
to take my own time and consult my own con.
science. The gentleman FROM Kentucky need
not expect to force me into this discussion or
any other till choose to engage in it," MIR.
Clay. in his blandest manner, assured the
gentleman from Pennsylvania that he had no
reference whatever to him" far from it," said
he, and with mighty emphasis, 81 CALLED FOR
TIE LEADERS OF TIE PARTY" MIR. Buchanan
appealed to the Senate-the gentleman from
Kentucky fixed his eyes upon him throughout
Mr.. Clay, in his sottcst and concilatory tone
and phrase, said hc could well conceive how
the gentleman from Pennsylvania had fallen
into the error. "I olten,' said he, "suppose
that gentleman is looking at me, when in Tact
ho is looking quite another way" lMr. Bn'
chanan had cast of the eye.) | said to MIR.
Clay when hc sat down, "Your first blow was
cruel, but magnificent, the last savage warfare
-tomahawking."
"Ah! d--n him" said MIR. Clay, "he writes
letters"
