In ten years is only 9,024. This is a

pare Louisiana with Michigan. The
latter had in 1860 population of 49,
lib, and has now 1,191 ,461, being an
increase of AZ. 349 in ten years, and
she is not a State in which 4 very
large addition was expected.
By the returns now in from the

Withdrawal of ar. Van Ripper.

A letter was received In this city last
uight44.m Mr.. X. G.. Van Ripper, sd-
vising his friends that owing to ex-
tensige business arrangements which
he has concluded in New York, it will
be impossible for him 10 permit the
use Of his name as a candidate for
Mayor before the Democratic City
Convention next Saturday evening.
While the friends of MIR. Van Ripper
will regret his Withdrawal from the
canvass, we have to congratulate the
Democracy upon the fact Of having q
large reserved force of good men to
supply any vacancy that Mr.. Van
Riper's declination may have crelted.
We entertain no doubt Of the ability
of the Democracy to procure an &C.
ceptable nominee, who will command
the full strength of the party
Speaking of ourselves alone We re-
greet the retiraey OF Mr.. Van Ripper at
this juncture, as it will rob politics of
half its zest. just what our neigh
bors of the JOURNAL will do without
Mr.. Van Ripper to abuse we are at q
loss to make out, and will have to
waitfurther Northumberland.

THE war IN EUROPE.

LONDON, November 3.-There has
been no disturbance at Metz since the
capitulation. The reports of the re-
fussl of the garrison and town to
surrender had its origin in plot by
the citizens, and those soldiers who
were not satisfied with the turn of sf-
fairs, to seize the arms In the arseBals,
and make foroible resistance to the
entry of the PrussiaHs. The consum-
nation of the design was prevented
by the Imperial Guard.
General Manteuffel is to command
the First PrussIan army.
1t is claimed by the Germans that
the supply Of meat in Paris is insult
hcient to meet the actual necessities
for another fortnight. The French
have only 2,100 prisoners on their
hands.
At noon on the 1st inst, Theirs
was admitted to an audience with the
King of Prussia. The conference
lasted three hours.
A military council was held at YER
sailles on Wednesday morning, in
which Bismarck participated. In the
afternoon Theirs was closeted with
Bismarck for loag time.

WE present this morning, as we
are assured, a correct list of the mem
bers Of the next Indiana Legislature,
classified politically. 1t will be OBJ
served that in this classification the
Hon. James Hughes is put down as a
Republican, having been elected by
that party in 1868. 1t is not to be
denied, however, that the Democrats
claim him as willing to cooperate
with that party. Should he do so, the
Senate will be tie, and lieutenant
Governor Cumback will be invested
with a power he has hitherto never
enjoyed as presiding officer of that
body. We need hardly say that bis

ions, will be on the right side. The

before a gun is fred. We con

An important and novel announce
ment is made from Mlehigan Univer-
sity that indicates tho advance in the
modern education, which substitutes
modern languages and mathematics
for the dead languages. Principals of
preparatory schools are notified that
it will be well to have candidates for
the scientific courses study French at
least one year before seeking to be-
come Freshmen. and it is further in
timated that this amount of prepare
tory French will be increased and
made obligatory instead Of recon
mended, and that ultimately knoWl-
edge of German will be required be-
fore admission. This is as it should
be. 1.-two or three years preparation
in the classical languages are scarcely
enough before entering college, and
two or three years further study
Of them are requisite before obtain
ing the degree of 4. B., no less than
a like amount of study of the modern
Languages should be sufficient for Sc
curing the degree of B. S. If French
and German are to be studied &C all,
they should be given time enough TO
do the work well.
