THE census returns have now
been sufficiently collected 70 afford
some basis for estimating the popu=
lation. In collecting them one re-
markable fact has been discovered.
and that Is In the estimated popula=
tion of our cities, which, with reT4
few exceptions, have been greatly
overrated. This is most noticeable
in the larger cities, which fall i
fully twenty per cent. ChicaRa

In the opinion Of Marshal Walker
this mistake has occurred from ea=
Inmates being based upon the adIIs
tions annually made 10 the popula-
tiOn Of city without making Al

ny from other sources which was

he referred to this testimony, he
refused to recognize as being suf-

Tense, ELECTED from members of
the Board of Aldermen, that a
contract existed between the city
of Vicksburs and the HERALD, be-
cause the written evidence was
not presented. The counsel
for prosecution made no such

himself prominently forward as

thieves and scoundrels now in Of

and robbing the people. AS the
firstrequisite to enable them topper.
feet with safety and impunity their
nefarious transactions, the press
must be muzzled. That impor-
tant measure Judge Burwell has
undertaken to accomplish. Arm
ed with his dead and rotten act,
passed in the interest Of coward
ice, he steps to the front and wards
off popular condemnation, while
his cOadjutors in the rear steal all
with which their villainous fingers
come in contact. Since the hon
orable Judge has undertaken this
matter, we say to him in all candor
that his shall be, from this time
henceforth, a court Of libel. We
intend to pursue the scoundrels
now plundering the people, to
the end of our existence. We
have ample material, and can
therefore readily furnish the
Judge, with a case daily. We
know the scoundrels will never
cease stealing 50 long as life last
and opportunity offers, and death
alone can prevent us from dc.
nouncing them. Although Judge
BurweA himself originated thi:
prosecution, he stated in opcr

that the scoundrels whom he wa

Another Story Of George Peabody's Love.

The Providence journal publishes the
following episode in the life of George
Peabody: A story has been going The
rounds of the newspapers giving as rea
son why Mr.. Peabody was never married
that he adopted young girl, whom after
ward he wished to make his wife, but ind
ing that she preferred clerk in his estao'
Hshment to the chief of the house, he
'never told his love-" but calmly gave her
up, and saw her married to younger rival.
Of the truth of that story know nothing,
but | can vouch for this that am now 60
ing to relate. More than thirty years ago,
in the school of John Kingsbury, was one
of the fairest daughters OF Providence.
Her school education finished, she went
with her friends to Europe, not however.
before having given her youthful affection
to young man whom she had met in a
sister city. But before marriage adversely
came upon him, and he found himself in
no situation to marry. He was not willing
that she should waste her youth and beauty
in waiting through long years, so they
parted, she going, as said, to Europe
There she met George Peabody, then, COM
paratively speaking, Il young man, but one
who was already making his mark, and
whose wealth was beginning to pour In.
He saw her and was struck with her grace,
her winning ways, her loneliness, and he
proposed" Her heart still chung to her
loved one across the wide Atlantic, but
after some time she yielded, perhaps to
the wishes of her friends, perhaps to the
promptings of worldly ambition, who can
tell She became the affianced wife OF Mr..
Peabody. After little interval she came
back to this country, and soon after her
arrival, met her first love. At sight of him
all her former affection came back, if, in
deed, it had ever left her, and Mr.. Peabody,
with his wealth and brilliant prospects,
faded away, and she chung with fond affec-
ing to share moderate income with him.
All was told to Mr.. Peabody, and he, with
that nanliness that characterized his every
action, gave her up, and in due time she
married. well remember, when in Lon
don. % years ago, hearing all this talked
over in a chosen circle OF American friends,
and also. at brilliant dinner party given
by General Cass, in Versailles, it was
thoroughly discussed. Whether, in his
visit to this country, Mr.. Peabody ever
met his once affianced bride cannot say.
After several years of welded bliss, death
took her husband from her side

The social and political principles which
the New York EVENING Posi- has SO long
and faithfully supported, it will continue
in the future to advocate. What these
principles are, our readers well know;
they may be summed up in few words:
National Unity, State Independence, and
Individual Freedom and Equality OF
Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of
the Union. as the guaranty of our national
strength and glory; the Independence of
the States, in all their local affairs, as the
guaranty against an oppressive and dan
gerous Capitalization the Freedom and
Equality of the Individual, without regard
to birth or accident, rs the rightful end of
all government, and the surest means of
social development, personal happiness
and national progress.
These principles the EVENING Posi- will
supper: and recommend to the people,
without regard to party associations. We
shall never support any party in its de-
partures from them, and shall endeavor,
so far as our influence extends, to cause
them to be recognized by men of all par
ties.

As a newspaper, the EVENING PosT,
edited by VIM CULLEN BRYANT, as
sisted by an able corps of writers, will be
conducted with the same care which has
marked it hitherto, to exclude from all its
columns, those devoted TO advertisements
as well as its reading columns, everything
which would offend against morality and
correct taste. 1t shall be the care of its
proprietors to see that all its departments
are conducted with the utmost ability
which liberal expenditure OF money and
unfagging industry can command. Its
editorial discussions will be bipartisan,
and devoted to the calculation and ad-
vancement of sound principles; its literary
criticisms shall be impartial. and as able
as we can make them; its foreign cores
pondence, which has been greatly inn
proved during the past year. will during
the present year be more varied and inter-

pondence also, and especially that from
such central points of interest as Washing
ton and Albany, will be full and accurate.
Its financial and commercial reports.
which have made the paper necessity to
business men in all parts of the country,
shall be made with the same vigilance,
accuracy and impartiality which now
characterize them. Its agricultural, ship
ping, market and other reports shall be as
trustworthy and complete as industry and
the expenditure of money can make them
In short, we mean our journal to be so
conducted that it shall be read with inter-
est and benefit by all the members OF the
family; and as it is one of

it shall also be one of the best newspapers
