j New HANOVER CoUNTY.~-We are glad to
see that the memorial from q portion Of
the citizen of New Hanover has been
laid before the Legislature, and ask short
space in your columns to call attention to
that petition. e- -.s~.-- (.
The citizens Of email portion of the
upper end of the county asked ITO be at
tached to Sampson comfy. The great
reason why this request is made is because
of the. very long distance from the court
house, in Wilmington, and the nearness to
Clinton, the county-seat of Sampson. We
are from forty to forty eight miles from
Wilmington. and from twenty 20 twenty
eight miles from Clinton. We have no rail
road by which W. can reach Wilmington
nearer than fifteen miles, (nearly as far as
it is to Clinton) and then have to travel
thirty miles on the railroad. IF we attempt
to go to Wilmington by private convey
ance, We have to take q day to go and a
day to come. Besides this, there is no pos
sibility of getting into or out of Whining
ton without paying to cross a ferry. The
board of a man and horse in Wilmington
costs twice as much as it does in Clinton.
It has become to he q saying with the peo-
pie here, that they would almost as soon
be sent to the Penitentiary as to be called
upon to go to Wilmington as juryman. 1t
not unusually happens that the expenses
of jnryman are twenty dollars, while he
only receives ten dollars as jury fee. He
is compelled to be absent from home as
long as he is retained as juryman. The
distance home and back is too great to be
travelled, even though there should be
Court more than one week. As for being
witness in protracted case, it is intolera-
bic. The people have long felt these great
burdens, both the expenditure of money
and the lcss of time, but in days of pros
perity they bore it without O murmur.-
The times have changed and we really feel
that we cannot endure it longer. In read
ing the petition, if any one will look at the
map of the counties they will see that it is
only a small portion Of the northwest cor
ner of the county, which geographically
belongs to Sampson, any way, that we ask
TO be annexed to that county. South
River, which is the natural bound
airy between the counties, would naturally
throw US into Sampson, if the lines were
properly run. Every landowner within
the prescribed limits has signed this petit
ton, and earnestly hopes the Legislature
will grant ii. CITIZEN.

rne STAGES and th.1r Populatlons.


The census of the population of the diff
ferent Commonwealth, says the Charles
ton Courier, is taken by the Government
every ten years. That for the decade end
ing in 1870, las just been finished. Stuff
cient has been obtained to show that the
increase in the United States for the last
ten years has not been as large or in pro-
portion to tIle increase OF population of
previous decades. This Ill measure may
rise from the devastations Of the war and
the immense loss of life, both upon the
battlefield and from disease.
While the populations of the Northern,
Middle, Western and Eastern States, have
increased upon an average Of near thirty
per cent. This arises from several causes.
Among others, from the wider desolations
of the RaE, and the character of the legis-
Iation and of the government which have
been imposed upon the South. which have
imporiled liberty. repressed industrial pEr-
suits, and to certain extent exiled and
prevented population.
AS matter of information, we publish
below statement of eace State. with It's
actual population, in 1860 and 1870:

measures, Bismarck declared that the wishes

compatible With the security of the whole coun-

policy, Bismarck turned his attention to two
amendments of theNbll, to which he objected on
account of the apparent lack of confidence IN
the government which they Indicated. Ihe

DIR. Bruehl, a Cincinnati physician, .politi-
and newspaper correspondent, visited
Laura Fair, the t~ree-love murderess, in her
prison In San Francisco, and describes her as
an affected, vain, unintelligent woman, with a
disagreeable voice. He does not even think
her beautiful. He says her face is round, her
form quite handsome; but her eyes are too
deeply set, and she has q low forehead. Dur
Ing his interview with the woman a letter
came to her from some crazy female in Ten
nessae, Offering to endure imprisonment In
her stead. The sheriff, az he was compelled
to do, had opened this letter, for which Mrs.
Fair helped on him the bitterest reproaches,
speaking in such affected tones, and usl2g
such affected gestures, as to make the exhiol-
ton an evident display of very bad acting.

The last of the many foundations with
which New Orleans seems destined to be per-
.petually afflicted, Involved the loss Of about q
million dollars worth of property, and much
personal discomfort and actual suffering. The
officers are busily engaged, night and day,
in providing for tho reAet of destitute, sick and
helpless, In the vicinity Of Derblgny and Clai-
borne streets, where the food reached it's
greatest height. The feelings, not only Of the
residents of the overlooked districts, but of the
community in general, are represented as
being very bitter against tn, city autho OBI
ties, who have failed to prevent the re-
currence of the disaster'et 1869. The scenes
in the streets were exciting and picturesque.
They were crowded with bewildered and
bedraggled men, women and children, and
muddy vehicles, while every narrow strip of
dry ground was piled high with household
furniture of all kinds. Boats were constantly
arriving to take the drowned-out families to
more congenial climes. Placidly cruising
over the troubled waters were railroads of
men and women, whose scanty attire and gen.
erous display of personal charms was sugges'
tive OF q quiet desperation and carelessness
In regard to all mundane affairs. Some es-
saved voyages ln.bath tubs and upon logs, but
only succeeded In furnishing merrilnent for

After abiding to certain misrepresentation of

important point was to limit legislation to the
