interesting Comparison.

Tho consus Of the City Of Charleston, taken
by authority OF tho General Assembly, is now
complete. and we arc able at last to form some
idea OF tho changes which hayo taken place
since 1850 in tho character OF tho population.
Before giving the tables which show the popu-
lation OF tho different wards, VIC would oa!l
attention 10 the fact that tho total population
of,the city is now 44,952. against q population
OF 40 ga in 1880. This Is fair increase, but
is made up BIZ Tho migration to tho city of
country negroes, for Tho city has now S210
less whieo inhabitants aud 764o moro colored
Inhabitants than it had in 1860. Tho whole
increase, therefore, is in tho colorod popul0.
ton, tbore boiug rather greater inoroaso OF
femn!os than OF males. Tho total number OF
whites in tho o:ty is 20 ,1GG. OF whom 9671 arc
malos and 10 .495 femalas. The total number
OF colored porsons is A,786, OF whom II, sos
are males aud II, ,28l fomalos. This largo sur
plus of colored tomales ia worthy Of note.
Thero arc, therefore. 1920 moro colorcd inhabi-
tants than whito inhabitants. Tho whole mum.
Dor OF males. whito and colored, is 40 ITO. and
of females 2t77b. tharo beng total excess OF
46c0 females. Estimating tho number OF
malos over twonty-ono yo1rs OF ago at ona. a.flfth
OF tho whole population. according to the
usual rnio, thero should bo in tho city 1898
white voters against 4957 co!orol voters,
majority OF 92i. Taking into account, how
over, tho excessive number OF negro children,
and tho oarelessncss with Which, to our know
legdc, tho oepsus has in somo ciscs boen
taken, We do not bclioyc that tho majority OF
colored voters is moro than 500 Mt tho out
side.
Tho census just taken is SHOWN in detail in
