This statement, it will be seen, is even more
damaging to the bogus census than the previous
one. On the basis of the white population alone
the number of persons to a voter in 1860 was
6'60, while in 1868 1t was reduced to 49S-a pro-
portion altogether too low to be laid entirely
to the door of fraud. The votes cast in 1869
and 1870 were notorously so light that the pro-
portion given by these years is of no moment
whatever.

Marshal Gregory has, of course, pretended to
enumerate the dwelling-houses in the city at the
present time but he has not as yet given his
figures to the public, and when he does they
will doubtless be found as grossly inaccurate as
the enumeration of the Inhabitants. The latest
official statement of the number of dwelling
houses in the city is that made to the Board of
Revision by the assessors in 1867, since which
time there has been no attempt made, by any
authority, to ascertain the precise number of
houses in the city. But the monthly reports
of the number of building permits issued ena-
BILE us to ascertain with fair degree of accu-
racy the actual number of dwellisg-houses in
the city at the time the recent enumeration of
Inhabitants by the census takers was made.
The number of new dwellings erected between
July 1, 1860, and June 80, 1870, is shown in the
following tablet
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-29

The large falling off in 1777 was in conse-
quence of the occupation of the city by the
British troops. The limits embraced in the
above table, in the enumerations of 1900 aud
1910 included some of the suburbs which were
excluded from the statement published by us
few days ago.
The Increase In the Vote of the City
affords another proof of the inaccuracy of Mar
shall Gregory's figures. In the following table
is given the population of the city by wards in
1860 and 1S70-that of the new wards formed
since 1860 being included in the wards from
which they were formed together with the
vote cast in 1860 for Governor and in 1868 for
Auditor General, and the number of persons to

CURE OF GRAVEL OF FIVE YEARS STANDING

SAVANNAH, Tenn, May IA, 1869.
DR.. II. #. HelmbOLd:-
DEAR SIR:-We introduced your "Fluid Extract
Buchu" in this country about eight months ago. and
happy to stats that t is meeting with universal
faver. We wish TO inform you OF one instance
among many where your "Buchu" has worked
wonders. A man in our country named j. B. Estell
has been suffering about i've years with gravel.
About six weeks ago he bought OF us one bottle OF
your Buchu, and before he was through with one
bottle he passed gravel that weighs eight grains,
which We now have on exhibition at our drug store.
He says that he win never be without the "Buchu"
IN his house again. Your preparations are gaining
favor every day. Very respectfully yours, etc,

In whatever way the recently published GEN.

The IS, 1873 new dwellings erected in the first
seven years of the decade, added to the SO, ,632
which were standing in 1860, give 102, no as the
number standing in 1867; while, by the returns
of the assessors in the latter year the number
was 102, 504. Only 266 buildings were therefore
abandoned as dwelling-houses during this
period, and if we make an allowance of two
hundred thus abandoned during the last three
years, the actual increase in the num-
Der of dwelling-houses in this city
during the past ten years is full 25, 500, which.

proportion according to the census of 1862 this
would give Philadelphia population at pre-
sent of 726,4SS, instead of the 657, 159 with
which we are credited by Marshal Gregory.
These figures would show increase since
1860 of 160,954 or 2S'46 per cent, which we
venture to claim is below the actual truth, and
certainly is not in excess of it.
Assuming Marshal Gregory's figures to be

and, although there was slight decrease in
