A comparison of the census of 1860

The increase of the aggregate popu.
lation of all the States and Territories
during the ten years is 6,902, ,429, and
the rate OF increase is above 219 10
per cent. The increase of the whole
white population is 6,59l, ,T93, and the
rate Of interest is 244 per cent. Tho
increase of the white population in the
Northern or originally Free States is
5,l37 ,S4S, and the rate of increase is
274 per cent The increase of the
white population in the Southern
States is 1885, 5,3Ol, and the rate of
increase is l6,6 per cent. The aggrc-
gate increase OF the black population
in the United States is 33S,3S5, and
the rate Of increase is 7.6 The in.
creaso vr inc DIack populatlpn in tho
Southern States is 1sS,953, and the
rate Of increase is 4.6 per cent. The

Northern States is ll9, 1872, and the
rate Of increase is 52.7 per cent.
The increase of the whole popula-
ton in the Territories, including the
District of Columbia, ls4 ,GS2, and tho
ratio of increase is 74,9 per cent This
statement refers to the Territories
which remained in that condition in
1870. Nebraska and Nevada, which
were Territories in 1860, had in the
meantime become States, and are,
therefore, ranked as such in the tables
and in these comparisons.
The increase OF the white popula-
ton in the Territories is l53,3l5, and
the rate Of increase is 665 per cent.
The increase of tho black popula.
ton in the Territories is 30367, and
the rate of increase is 20s.9 per cent.
The considerable increase of the
white population Of the Southern
States has taken place chiefly in those
on the northern border of that section

and Missouri and diminution of the
number of blacks has taken place in
these border States, except in Mary.

The auction Sic OF coal resulted III il de-
,liup of about 20 GEMS per tnn from the
prices obtained at the end of last month, but
Yesterday, prices are still 20 cents higher on
stove coal and - To 80 cents on the other
lind>, than those obtained one year ago, when
the coal companies refused to 20 on pro-
tucing unless the miners consented to a re-
duction of wages which action brought about
the long suspension of last Winter and
Spring. The sale yesterday, under the stim-
ulus of the cold weather, was more success
Gul than had been anticipated, and there Is
no prospect, We think, of renewal at
present of the troubles in the coal regions.
1t is tlue that several Collcrics in the Schuyl
kill region, which are remotely situated or
have other disadvantages, have been forced
to stop, but on the other hand, it must be
rem, lnbcrcd that the companies secured IA
great reduction of wages. and that the market
is still far from being as fully supplied as il
was last year. The miners, too, are by ne
| means anxious to make war again, ana vii

WHY NOTf

Mr. Richard b. Connolly was charged for
son,e years with the most important depart
mcnt of the City Government. The interests
which he was appointed to guard were cnor-
NOUS. The trust of which he was the deposit
torv affected evcry resident of Ncw-lOrk.
There WAS no other public officer upon whose
fa;tbfulncss 80 much depended and whose
moral responsibility was consequently 80
serious. MIR. Connolly, as everybody knows
has been guilty of the grOssest malfcasance
Whatever his fricnds-and we arc certainly
not of the number-may think of his personal
share in the robbery of the treasury there can
he no doubt that he has committed, at the very
least, a criminal breach of trust and he IL ss'
rmctcd, on excellent prima facic cvilencc, OF
theft and cOnnivancc at forgery. If he had
been still an obscure bank clerk, as he
was once, his misconduct in the Con-
trollcr's Office would before this have sent
him to the 1onbs. Well, Mr.. Connolly comes
to grief, as many rogue has done before
him. His breach Of trust is found out He is
expelled from his situation. IL is arrested for
the wrongful conversion of other peoples
money; what followsP Why, he is allowed
to spend five days in constructive custody at
city for surctes to 60 his bail, and it is not
until the prospect of finding bOndsmcn at all
seems nearly hopeless that the Sheriff begins
to shake his head, with the melancholy air of
d modern Brutus. and protests that he really
must tlirfk about sending Mr.. Connolly to the
county Jail. Then the gaping crowd around
tlc City Hall clap their hands. and make be-
lcvc that the majesty of tho law has been
signally vindicated, and no harm can ever
happen to people who treat Controllers no
better than they treat plcbcans.
Certainly we do not want the rigorS of Mr..
Connolys confinement necdl"sSly aggravated
especially rs he has not yet been tricd-but we
protest against the assumption that the law Is
to gain any glory or American institutions are
to receive any credit because Sheriff Brennan
at the eleventh hour doe, his imperative duty.
It is ra' her to our great diScrcdt that the I'M
priSonmcnt of an unlaiihful and diSgraced
official should excite any more comment than
the arrest Of IL common forgcr or professional
ho,isrbrcakcr. There is no imaginable rra-
son why the cx-Controllcr should be favored
with special lcnicncy; on the contrary, since
he has been il partner in the OpprcS'lonS
and eXl0rtions of Llldlow-St. Jail 1t j, cvl-
IDENTITY appropriate that he should be ut once
committed to that celebrated institution, after
only the customary delay allowed to prisoners
charged with bailablc OcnscI. Ii il merely a
Sian of public decentralization that any remark

that in dealing with the Tammany conSpirl

This is startling The Hon. +. r. Nudge lecturng
the other night before the Boston Church AssOcia-
iop said the Episcopal Church might be divided into
l,ss than eight classes. which, for catholic and
nfailible church, seems to us rather discOuraging.
Here are tho classes: 1. Radical Low Churchmen:
=. Conservative Low Churchlnen; g. Conservative
High Churchmen; 4. Radical High Churchmen 5.
High and Dry Churchmen; 6. Newer High Church,
men; Z. Riualists g. The Breads! AT rst this would
seem to be most lecidedlysa of house divided
against itself. and upon the point therefore, of fall
ing into undistiDguished ruin; but account must be
taken of points upon which all churchmen agree. 1t
seems to us that after ALL it is the Episcopate which
is destined to "he Church" it calls itself. in
America. Everything now depends upon shrewd.
honest. charitable, long-snfering. and gentlcmanly
Bishops, like ono or two whose Christian humility
we will not shock by naming them.
