THE NINTH CENSUS.

The Enumeration COmplets-The Aggregate
Population Of the UOuntrv 3S,53j,153, an
Increase Of ~ 55 Per Cent In Ten Years
Comparisons with the Past Population.
Complete returns of the recent census from
all the States and Territories have been received
at the Census Bureau in Washington, by which
the aggregate population of the country is
shown to be IS. 535, 1853. The revision of these
returns will necessarily make some changes,
but they will probably not be material enough
to affect the aggregate, OF the relative rank of
the States.
In the following table we give the population
of each State, according to the returns Of 1870
and 1860, with the percentage of increase in the
ten years and the relative rank of each State at
the time of the two enumerations. Three
States have been admitted into the Union since
the census of 1860 was taken, Nebraska and
Nevada by change from Territorial form of
government, and West Virginia by the parti-
ton of Virginia. In the column of relative
rank in 1860, these three States are indicated by
an astersk C). The population of old Vir-
ginia in 1860 is divided in the table between the
two States as they are now constituted, to show
the actual increase in each during the decade:-

understood that two new operas will he pro-

the repertoire of the company. We hope that
on one of the nights at least The Marriaqe of
Figaro, which is a general favorite here, will be
given.

Previous 10 1850, the decenuial increase had
ranged between 3261 per cent. and 3645 per
cent, a degree of uniformity that has been
rather remarkable. During the last ten years,
however, the rate of increase has fallen to 22'J5
per cent, or less than two-thirds of the rate
during the previous decade. Ii the usual rate
of increase had been maintained during the past
ten years, the present population OF the coun-
try would have been AZ, CSC, Sj4 or about T. 10O,-
900 greater than is shown to be the case. The
disturbing element of the war against the Union
is to be credited with the result as it stands,
and this loss of over four millions OF inhabitants
in ten years is not the least important legacy
bequeathed to the country by the slaveholding
oligarchy OF the South. During the next ten
years, however, we may expect TO witness an
increase in our aggregate population even
greater than any recorded in the past

1t will be noticed that two States, Maine and
New Hampshire, show slight decrease in the
population as compared with 1860. This is the
first time that the decennal enumeration has
shown a decrease in any State, but between 1850
and 1860 New Hampshire and Vermont re-
mained almost stationary, the increase in the
former State being but 80 per cent, and in
the latter only 81 per cent. The great strides
taken by some of the Western States since 1860,
and the partition of Old Virginia, have some
what disarranged the relative rank of the States,
but a number still retain the position they held
in 1860.
The gradual progress of the population of the
entire country since the first census enumera-
tion, that OF 1890, is shown in the following:-
