OF political power under the next
census, taking the vote of last fall as
a basis of calculation. 1t estimates
the total population at SO, ,563, 500
1t CONCLUDES that the New England
states will be found to have increased
very little; the southern very little
if any; the south western very little
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vapia very rapidly, and the north
west most rapidly of all. The eastern
states are expected to show $685..
693 population, and the western
6, 6,859,815. The representation of the
eastern in 1860 was one hundred and
twenty, against one hundred and
seven for next year; the western in
1860 had one hundred and fifteen,
and in 1870 it was calculated they
will have one hundred and twenty
six. The Democrats calculation
seems to be well founded, and it
probably does not exaggerato much,
if any, the extent to which the pre-
ponderance of population and polit-
ical power has shifted westward dur.

SENSIBLE.

Mr.. ISekRsoLL, the candidate oi
the Temperance Party for Governor,
in this State, has concluded to with.
draw from the field, and in so doing,
writes a very sensible letter, giving
the reasons for so doing. The fol
lowing is an extract:
"After the straightest sect I was
educated in the anti-slsvery faith,
and have sndeavored, so far as ]
have been possessed of any political
influence, to use it so shat ii would
aid in establishing the equality and
brotherhood of man, irrespective OF
color or race. The course pursued
by the Republican party Of Ohio,
prior to its last State Convention,
had led me to regard that party un.
willing to take position in support OF
the doctrine OF suffrage based on
manhood, and / was therefore DIS
posed at the time of the Alliance

doctrine, ss contained in the 18th
Amendment, ! feel unwilling to take
any such position as may withdraw
any part of the force needed for &C.
curing the vote Of Ohio in favor ol
this measure. Believing that the
maintenance of an independent
temperance ticket at the coming
election will hazard the success oi
this important measure, which / lool

The Corn Cr0p.

According to present prospects the
yield of corn during the present sea-
son will not be a bountiful one -
Reports from the department of agri-
culture up to the middle of August
lead to this conclusion. In the States
of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, West Virginia, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Arkansas. Alabama, Louisiana,
Florida, and Texas, eleven in all, an
equally high or higher condition is
reported than at the same period OF
last season. New Jersey and Penn
sylvania show a slight increase OF
acreage, Nebraska and West Virginia
an increase of six per cent, Texas an
increase of ten per cent. In Arkan-
sas, Louisiana and Delaware there is
a considerable decrease in acreage.
In the great corn producing State
of Illinois the average estimation of
condition in about sixty counties falls
fully thirty per cent. below last season
at the same date; Indiana, the second
State in production, puts the figures
nearly as low; Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota rate twenty to thirty
per cent. below, last year; Ohio TWEEN,
ty per cent. be ow; Iowa twenty per
cent /; Missouri. Kentucky and Ten
nessee ten per cent. The New Eng
land States range from ten to fifteen
per cent. below; New York twenty
to twenty-five per cent; Maryland,
North Carolina, Georgia.
and Mississippi ten per cent, and
South Carolina thirty per cent. below.
OF the States above mentioned,
whose crop condition is equal to or
better than last year, Texas promises
an increased yield of twenty per cent,
and Kansas and Arkansas an increase
Of ten per cent. The amount of acre
,ge, therefore, is evidently lowe, than
asst year; all the heaviest corn
States falling off heavily
But there will. apparently, be heav-
er falling off in the average produc-
ion per acre. Illinois and Indiana
Produced last year nearly a fourth of
he corn crop of the country. In,
hese States the heavy rains of spring
'etarded its growth, and, even though
hey escape the drought, there will be
deficit of from twenty to thirty per
'ent. In Ohio, Iowa. Missouri, Ken
ucky and Tennessee, which produced

here will be a decrease of from ten
o twenty per cent. Any slight COM
'arison of these estimates, coupled
With the probable effects of the dry
weather., must lead to the conclusion

early be reached Cleveland Leader
