No incident of war carries with 1t more ac-
cumulated horrors than the protracted siege
of a city. With such city as Paris, should
the contest for its possession be carried on
with the obstinate determination which pre-
vious preparations lead us to expect, the
waste and suffering inevitably resulting must
reach scale Of magnitude of which history,
happily, gives hut few examples. 1t is
question for the other European nations
whether this shall be permitted. In an elo-
quent letter urging their interference, Sir
Henry Bulwer thus presents the situation
Here is the most splendid city that civilization
has perhaps ever raised, filled with works OF
art. the choice production Of ages, animated by
brave. intelligent and cultivated body OF cit-
zens. Before it is encsmped an army flushed
with series Of victories, bred to war in na-
ton where the civilian is the soldier, and armed
with all the most terrible instruments which
military ingenuity has devised and military
skill can direct for destruction. Within It,
though for the present overswed, are to be
found, with arms in their hands. some hundreds
of thousands of individuals who, in any crisis
that dissolved society and provoked disorder,
would not improbably be guilty of murder.

Il will be noted that whereas the increase
Of our population in the previous decade was
less than one third of one per cent, 1t has
been in the last decade nearly fgc per cent.
or about ftteeg t1,-s as much This. cousid-
ering the losses Of men sustained in the war
is certainly a gratifying gain.
the population of the United states proves
to be forty millions, and the number of the
members in the House is increased tc 300.
the basis Of representation will be about 1885,
600. This will give Vermont a fraction Of
over "a 600, which may possibly entitle Us toa
third member. Should the State be re-district-
ed. taking the mountains for the dividing line,
and including Lamoille County with the West
side, the population will be l6S,92o on the
" est side. and I6l ,j95 on the East side.
The question as to which side Of the State
Lamoille County would fall to, has been often
mootcd. We find that if that county is
counted on the West side, the Western dis
trict will have : 1875 more of population than
the Eastern. If Lamoille on the other hand,
were to be included in the Eastern District,
that district would exceed the Western by
sos. To place it on the West side will
consequently make the most equal division.

Now that the Prussans have nearly or quite
&C mpleted their vast preparations for the
bombardment OF Paris, a glance at a map
Of the city and It's enyiro,s, viii show what
parts are likely to suffer most heavily from
the fire soon to be opened on them. On the
heights ofvilejuif, for whose possession fierce
struggle recently took place, guns Of the i'm
mense calibre with which we have right to
accredit tt siege train Of the Prussians can
send solid shot and shell into the city as far
as the famous Quarter Latin, ore of the most
popalous districts in the city, W lille the little
villages Of Montrouge, Ivry anil Clarendon
can be demolished almost at the first fire. The
battery on the north now being erected at
Gonnevilliers will command the villages Of
Colonies, St. Ouen, St. Denis nd Garenne,
and will be able to hurl its iron destruction
almost to the Champs Elysees Within easy
range of it are the Montmartr &c metery and
the Pare Monceaux. Westward the battery on
the rising ground west of ST. Cloud, will
command the villages Of St. Cloud, Sevres
and BillancOurt and the race course at Long
Champs, and will probably De enabled to
reach so far into the city as the Military
School and the Champs de Idsrs. Thus it
will be seen that some of the handsoInest
quarters and suburbs of Paris may be sub
ject to the first effects of the be- mbardment.
In these are some of the hands omest build

Au Interesting Dee-sion.

We give elsewhere a report Of an interest,"
ing decision of the L. 5. Circuit Court, for
the District o. Vermont, recently given IN
case affecting several interests in relation to
to the prohibtory law Of this State. This
decision, as it will be seen, re aihrms the con-
stitutionality of the law, and the immunity
Of officers who execute it and Of States Attor-
neys who give them legal advice, as to their
duty. Judge Woodruff also wished-i, to be
particularly understood that Express eompa-
MES and other common carriers, canno; be
protected in bringing liquors into the State
in violation of the law. These points have
been substantially determined before; but
their re-afiirmation by 50 high a tribunal as
the L. S Circuit Court Is Of Importance; and
the decision will be found of general interest.

The World believes that in forbi1ding the

has practically put an end to the Nsuvoo LIE
gion and in declaring invalid the acts of the
Territorial Legislature. whereby the juries Of

Councils as superior to the United States govern
ment, Chief Justice Mexican has done much to
weaken the authority Of the Prophet and to make
surer the allotment of justice as to life and pro-
perty to Gentle residents Of the Territory. In
the far west it is believed that Young will resist
these measures by force Of arms. The annual

Though the official returns Of the census
in New York city are not yet all in, every
district has been heard from, and all hut seven
officially. The population Of the city il given
at $685. This makes the increase since
1860 III, 49,, or more than fourteen per
cent. The increase during the preceding de-
cennial period, from 1850 to 1860, was from
525. 547 to Sl3 900, o. nearly fifty-eighJ per
cent. 1t will thus be seen that the rate of
increase of the population in New York has
been less than one fourth as great since 1860
as it was for the preceding ten years. The
Post thinks the official figures are not to be
trusted, and that the increase for the last de-
cade is really much more than fourteen per
cent. 1t does not, however. impugn the &C
curacy ofthe present census. but that taken in
1860, when the population of the city was
undoubtedly made at least 100, 600 too large.
The census just taken, the Posi- thinks, will
take rank as the most accurate and trust
worthy enumeration ever yet taken Of the
people of New York Impartial outsiders
entertain like opinion, democratic politi-
cians to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Presidents proclamation, defining the
regulations under which the war vessels of
the belligerents will be permitted to enter
United States ports, introduces no new prin-
ciple, but simply reaffrms the general policy
which has governed the country in energen-
cies of the kind. His action was made neces-
sary by the operations Of the French cruisers
In the vicinity of New York. The procIa-
nation bears most unfavorably on the French.
since it is not likely that German war vessels
would make use of our ports. But that is
owing 10 circumstances with which men,
tral nation has nothing to do.
