UXNATrRAI. DEArHs.-They do some
things better in Great Britain than we do
here, and one of the things in which they
excel is the thoroughncss and accuracy Of
the vital statistics. One of the recent re-
turns of the RcgistrarGeneral, who has
charge of collecting and systcmatizing these
statistics, gives the figures for five years,
extending from 1863 to 1865 inclusive, OF
all the "volent or unnatural Deaths" un-
der which definition he includes all not re-
Sulting from disease or old age, which have
occurred in the United Kingdom. During
that period there were no fewer than So, S53
unnatural deaths" of which, as would be
expected from the greater exposure OF men to
causes of peril, G2,70S were those of males.
Six hundred and twenty-one of these deaths
were due directlyto intoxication, though this,
of course, is but portion OF the total number
of lives sacrificed through strong drink.
Railways are debitcd with Ais violent
deaths, which shows that even in careful
England the locomotive and the rail does
its work OF slaughter. The mine, however,
leads the ghastly march i'll the number Of
its victims. Five thousand eight hundred
and nincty-eight miners have pcrishcd by
explosions, inundations, falling in of the
mines, ETC.. The most curious, and per-
haps also the most revolving, revelations Of
these statistics is the enormous proportion
of what might be termed child-murders,
through the carclessness OF the parents or
protectors. Out of the number of eighty
three thousand eight hundred and fifty
three violent deaths no fewer than
1870 happened to children under five
wears of age This is nearly 0ne-foulth
of the total; and the RegistrarGcncral
writes down that 3,93S of these infants
were burnt to death, 3,267 scalded to death,
1850 drowned, and ), "a suffocated. Under
the head of mechanical INJURIES" such
as fractures, falls, &c, the Registrar-Gen-
eral returns 2S,1l4 deaths under that of
(" chemical INJURIES such as burns, scalds,
and poisoning, 1882; by drowning, suffo-
cation, or other forms of asphyxia, 23,S2S :;
and 6.S96 by miscellaneous and untabula-
ted violence or mischance. Suicide adds
G,OQ9 to the list, and Of this total nearly
5000 were males. Between the ages OF
fifteen and twenty, however, more girls
than bows committed suicidc-thc figures
being l65 females to l30 males between
those ages. Above those ages the pro-
portion runs entirely against the males,
until between the ages of iorty-hve and
fifty-6ve but 3S2 females committed suicide
against | ,135 males. During the five years
scventy-one convicts, including three wo-
men, came to an unnatural and violent
DEATH by hanging. The death-roll con-
tains curiositics of dissolution Of which the
following are examples: Two persons, one
very old and one very young, we're killed
by game cocks; one person from artificial
teeth; others from swallowing a fish-bone,
swallowing plum-stone, or from the sting
Of bee: children from swallowing pin,
a needle, a halfpenny, a nutshell, hook !;
one died from the sting Of wasp, one from
the bite of a donkey, and one from fright

From the Charleston IS. c. Republican.
Tho Yirr;uia Election.

In the recent State election in Virginia
tho conservative Republicans, so termed,
have elected their candidates by majority
of nearly fifty thousand. We are well sat
isfed with the result. The leaders of the
Wells party have all along acted in selfish
and arbitrary manner, and are personally
obnoxious to many sincere Republicans.
Gilbert c. Walker, the Governor elect, is a
Republican. The platform on which he is
elected is one of universal suffrage and
equal rights. On the same ticket with him
colorcd men arc elected to both branches Of
the General Assembly. President Grant
gave his powerful influence to the Walker
ticket, believing that the adherents of Wells
would not be wise or safe rulers Of Virginia.
The victory is cmphatically Republican.
True, Democrats voted for Walker. But
when Democrats are brought to stand on
the Republican platform, go to the polls
with colored men, and vote for colorcd men,
as General Robert E. Lee did on Tuesday
last, it is one of the grandest Republican
triumphs of the age. The whole people OF
Virginia voted the Republican ticket.
When South Carolina Democracy lifts itself
out of the depths of stubbora ignorance and
prejudice upon the conservative Republican
platform of Virginia it may cling to the
name of Democracy, or call itself what it
pleases, we shall not mourn at any tri-
umphs it may win.
In this result we see great promise of
better things. tits the completest acknow-
ledgment Of the equal political rights of all
men ever yet given on this continent. We
doubt not that in every southern State ex-
cept, perhaps, South Carolina and Georgia,
the Democracy will accept the full Rcpub-
lican theory. When this is done, peace
comes, harmony prevails; all parties, being
pledged to equal rights and full justice,
will accord them to all men without stint or
snarling. Then will come common-school
education, intelligent industry, steady
thrift, and genuine prosperity.

"CAS'r Play SQUAR' GAME."-Yester-
day morning there was arraigned before
the Mayor man charged with exhibiting
a game bic and cheating q competitor out
of $40. From the evidence for the prosecu-
ton it appeared that the competitor, who
had bat one arm, had played a friendly
game Of seven-up" with the accused and
had won $40. The game was disputed and
as the one-armed man walked off with the
money the accused grabbed it out OF his
hand \ negro was called as q witness
for the defence, and testified somewhat
as follows:
Il was dar. I nuvver seed dis gent man
befo, but he was dar also. Dat is, don't
meon to say nuvver seed him, but he amt
got but one arm now, and he didn't have
but one arm den, and dat's dc way knows
him. De gent'man whar stays wild was
playin' seven-up wild him, and he won de
money"
Mayor: "How do you know? Can you
play seven-up?''
'sWell, can't say dizzaely. ! knows dc
ten and clubs, and / knows trumps, but |
can't say can play squar game o seven

City Item we learn that new party is pro-

It's head and front is to be William B.
Thomas, who pledges himself fully to the
support Of equitable y taxation. The
City Item says:
He thinks that in this country of abound

necessary to support and educate citizens
