The Next Census.

The ceusus Of 1870 will cause some
important changes. In 1910 the West
was represented in Congress by thirty
members after 1870 it will havo eighty
two. In the Eastern States very diff
fercnt result will be produced. Those
States in 1910 had thirty-eight men,
bers; their representation will be but
twenty-five after 1870. In 1916, the
Atlantic Eastern States as divided from
the Southern, had one hundred and
nineteen Congressman after 1870, they
will have but niyhty-six. More than
one-third of the next House of Repre-
sentatives, elected after the census OF
1870, will be from the West, and, united
TO the Southwest, will constitute clear
majority of the members of that body
as we'll as Of Presidential electors
When the census shall be taken and ap.
portionment made for the first time in
accordance with it, the South will have
full representation upon the negroes
instead of three -fifths of them as now
aud heretofore. BY this the South vii
gain thirteen members at least.

Terrible RctributiOn.

A negro was hanged within one hum
dred yards Of the Nashville and North
western Railroad, near Dresden, one
morning last week, for outraging the
person of a young lady who lived with
in short distance of that place. They
stuck card upon his dead body, on
which was inscribed, "He who dares
touch or cuts down this body shall
share the same fate"
One OF the trains was tagged and
stopped near the place, but for what
particular cause was not known, as
there was no one in sight save the ne
gro's mother, who knelt and wept be-
meath his corpse.
1t is said that the reason given for
lynching the negro, was that black
man formerly sent to the pcnitentiary
for committing similar crime near
Dresden, that he had been pardoncd
out, and that the eXecutioners in the
present case were determined that the
ravisher should not be afforded the
same opportunity of going unwhipt o.

"StOkeS' Wild PrOpOSitiOn."

The Cincinnati Gazette, ultra Radical,
puts this heading over the following
Washington special, a few days ago:
Stokes proposition to convene an ex-
ira session of Congress is laughed at by
every one, and there is not the slightest
probability that the President will be
induced to do anything of the kind.
The Louisville COurier's dispatch
says:
The proposition of Stokes to have an
extra session Of Congress, to upset the
results Of the late election in Tennessee,
is ridiculed here even by the Radicals.
Quite delegation Of Tennesseeans, in
cluding Gov. Senter, Col. Brownlow
and others, have arrived here to pre-
vent further mischief OH the part of
Stokes. When the President returns
both sides are expected to open lively
contest over the Federal Office holders
in Tennessee.
Possibly Stokes fancies, says an ex.
change, that the United States, from the
remotest iceberg on the coast of Alaska
down to the Gulf of Mexico, is in the
widest agitation and CONSERVATION over
his defeat

ImDeaching A Bullock,

The Macon Journal says that large
number of the members of the Georgia
Legislature are in favor of impeaching
Governor Bullock of that State. 1t
says:
We learns from persons who profess to
know whereof they speak, that de-
termined purpose is expressed by a
large number of members Of the House
of Representatives of our Legislature
to prefer articles of impeachment
against Governor Bullock Immediately
after the General Assembly meets, and
that the movement is daily gaining
strength among the members. There
are said to be many alleged grounds of
impeachment, the principal Of which
are the spending large sums of public
money by the Governor without au-
thority of law, the conversion of the
States funds to his own private use,
and the abuse of the pardoning power.

Nice Reckoning.

A statistical genius declares that
"more money is expended in the Unit
ed States for cigars than all the common
schools in the country" A wag, un-
doubtcdly lover of the weed, seeing
the statement going through the papers,
gets OFT the following:
1t has been estimated that the cost of
washi linen that might just as well
be worn two days longer amounts to
enough in this country to more than
detray the expenses of the American
Board of Foreign Missions. The eX-
penses of buttons OH the backs of our
coats, where they are Of no earthly use,
is equal to the support of all our orphan
asylumS. 1t is estimated that the val
ue of old boots thrown aside, which
might have been worn at least day
longer, is more than enough to buy fan
mel night gowns for every baby in the
land. Also, that the cost of every inch
on the full shirt collars of our young
men is equal to the sum necessary to
put bible in the hands of every Pata.

Poor Stokes,

Stokes has been going on pitcously
for two weeks or more in Washington !:
and it seems that he has not received a
great deal of comfort. Forncy thinks
his case "a great outrage" but he
doesn't see how the Government can in
terfere Still Stokes wants Congress to
do so. Congress, ,interfered with Geor-
gia, why not with Tennessee? Visions
of Investigating committees pass be-
fore the eyes of Stokes, and he is sad.
The days of 1861, when he was ga good
old REBEL" are back again, and as he
doesn't claim to be good old rebel any
more, he is sader and sader. The lon
ger Stokes stays in Washington the sad
der he will get. He had better go home.

Scarcity of Water.

The scarcity of water is a subject of
general complaint all over the country.
At Lawrence, Mass, according to the
journals of that extensive manufacture
ing city, the vegetation is suffering Sc
vcrely from the drought, the ground is
parcicd and the dust intolerable; the
streams are very low, and the factories
suffer much inconvenience, some of
them being compelled to stop work and
wait for the forebays to fill up with a
sufficient supply of water. Trout have
been left high and dry in the brooks,
there not being water enough to float
them.

Heavy Tornado.

From the Macon Telegraph of the
24th. we obtain the following account
of very destructive land cyclone in
Georgia:
We learn from several planters in the
city yesterday, some of the the details
of q terrible tornado twelve miles west
of the city, Sunday afternoon.
A planter who lives at Minis Cros-
sing, OIL the Macon and Western Rail-
road, says about o'clock two dense,
black clouds flying in Numerically OPP
posite directions, one from the South
and the other coming down from the
