We publish elsewhere this morning a very
valuable table, showing the census returns for
New York State for 1870. The population is
classified in this table under the heads,
''native. foreign white and colored, except
in New York city, where, owing to unfor-
tunate differences between city and federal
officials, the actual census is still a
matter for settlement. The total, exclud-
ing Indians and Chinese, amounts to 4, ,279, ,9O4
persons, of which New York city alone
claims 942,337 as actual residents, leaving out
Of her count altogether the large proportion of
Brooklyns 100000 people who live their
business lives inside our city limits, and
the 1l7,000 10 Westchester who do the
same. Of course our citizens who sleep in
New Jersey would add another heavy sum to
our total, but we must give them up as lost
altogether. The total Of 4,279,9O shows
that we have increased throughout
the State by four hundred thousand
since the census of 1860, falling off
in the ratio Of increase of at least three
hundred thousand compared with the ratio off
increase during the ten years from 1850 to
1860. The cause Of this reduction in the ratio
of increase must be attributed chiefly to the
war, though it is in part attributable also, no
doubt, to emigration from our cities to the
South aud West.

The KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS come nobly
mp TO the scratch in the pending State contest,
although, with standing majority of sixty or
seventy thousand against tbem their cause
seems hopeless. 1t is worthy OF note that
while adopting resolutions favoring complete
amnesty and the restoration Of harmonious re-
lations with the South, condemning Ku
Kluxism and demanding the admission OF
negro testimony in the State courts-points
upon which the most influential demo-
Gratis Of the State agree with them
they nominate the best representa-
tive republicans in the State. General
John M. Harlan, of Louisville, their candidate
for Governor, was gallant soldier of the
Union winning much renown in his section
for vigorous movements against the enemy !;
and General Speed S. Fry, of Boyle, their can
ddate for Treasurer, has a national reputation
as the man who killed Zollicoffer The rest
OF the ticket is judiciously distributed, lead
ing German editor receiving the nomination
for State Auditor, and clergyman sor Sn-
perintcndcnt OF Public Institution. The entire
ticket shows that the Kentucky republicans
are not without hope and that while they have
any vestlge Of . chance OF victory thev viii

RAILROAD MoNoPoLIEs.-The responses Of
the press and prominent individuals to our
remarks the other day on the danger of rail-

in another part of our issue to-day-show that
the public mind is keenly alive to this gigantic
and growing evil Let the press and people
will be compelled to do something to restrain
the mon opolists and protect the public.

Tho Pluck OF New England Women.

The women of New England have, through
out American history, been distinguished for
their spirit. Sam Adams, John Adams,
John Hancock and the numberless other
heroes Of the first rebellion were assisted
in their patriotic endeavors by the advice
and consent of their wives. The courage
and resolution Of these great women ami
mated the chiefs of the revolution, which
ultimately brought independence to America.
Now we find spirit displayed in the action
of woman's suffrage convention, held in
Charles.own, Mass, on the 18th instant.
which provokes some attention and comment.
Among the speakers on that occasion were
William Lloyd Garrison, Julia Ward Howe,
Lucy Stone, and others whose names are
pretty well known in the programme of the
progressive movements of the age. The OBJ
ject of the convention was to protest against
the decision of the Legislature of Massachu-
sets against allowing women the right of suf-
frage. A resolution was adopted In effect
that while the Legislature allowed the fair
petitioners ''leave to withdraw, no valid reason
can be adduced against their claim to equal
and impartial suffrage without regard to the
natural distinction of birth; and no matter
how adroitly postponed or evaded, that claim
must be asserted and demanded until the
women Of Massachusetts shall stand the same
on the political platform as the men, and be as
fully entitled to vote and to be voted for In
every municipal, State and national election. "
Here we see determination on the part of
the progressive women Of New England to Sc
cure their independence, just as the matrons
of l776 helped to secure the political liberties
the republic now enjoys. Let them 60 ahead.
The Legislature of Massachusetts will, in due
time, see the necessity of meeting the de-
mands Of the descendants Of the great Revou-
tion in proper spirit. The pluck of New
England women must be commended, and no
sensible politician will hesitate about it,.

acknowledgment on their part is due to the
present manager, who, when all were discuss

implies SO mucn WORK anu SO many changes
that while we can see trouble we cannot see
the end. France is not and never can be
Switzerland. She wants the elements out of
which it is possible to construct republic
after the fashion of the United States. At the
same time we know and must admit that an
effort will be made in the direction of fede-
raj republic. The fact is important and must
be considered in looking at the future. This,
House of Bonaparte are numerous, and at the
present moment they are most active. If they
are weak in the populous centres, they are
strong in the provinces; and IL plf5escite
can be arranged, the restoration of the
empire in some shape is all but
certain. We do not lay much stress on the
Bourbons. On this occasion they have
shown themselves weak and without purpose.
They do nothing; they risk nothing; at the
same time 1t has TO be admitted that limited
monarchy finds favor with hundreds OF thou

A GENEROUS COMMUNICATING time
since we published an appeal to the good
lrishmen in the United States, setting forth
the embarrassment in which the excellent
priest of Cong, Father Lavelle, late of Par
try, is involved, for want of means to roof
his new church. Such an appeal is never
made in vain, as the annexed letter will
partly show; bnt Father Lavelle is a thor
ough Irishman, as we'll as a good priest:
New ORLEANS, April 26, 1871.
To John Mitchell:
Sir-In response to the appeal of the Rev.
Father Lavelle, PIP. of Cong, ireland, through
the columns of your esteem ed journal to his
countrymen in America, it is my pleasing duty
to transmit to you the enclosed bill OF exchange
for seventy five pounds sterling, being the con-
tributions of the working poor who admire the
iufexible integrity of the patriot priest, to
enable him to overcome his financial embarass-
ment. You will please remit the same to the
worthy pastor, and in behalf of the subscribers
I tender You their most heartfelt gratitude for
the zeal which you have shown in the cause.
Respectfully, yours, TRos EGAN.
1t gives us very sincere pleasure to be
made the medium of remittance; and.
perhaps, other communities may be stimu-
lated to rival the generous "workinR POOR
Of New Orleans.-N. Y. Citizen.
