LOUISVILLE September 2l.-The case
of the commonwealth agains Geo. Webster
was called in the Louisville city court on
yesterday, there being several indictments
pending against Webster for being pro-
prietor of the Kentucky and Paducah lot
teries, and for selling tickets in the same.
The cases against Webster were dismissed
by the court on the ground that said bus
iness was conducted under the laws of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, legalizing
the Kentucky and Paducah lotteries.
Able arguments were made on both
sides, Ex-Governor Bramlett and Judge
Built for the defense, and Frank Hogan

WAsnIYoToN, September 2l.-The area
high barometer which was Wednesday p.
m. over Wisconsin and Lake Superior has
moved southwest and east into Pennsylva-
mia and New York. The low pressure in
Georgia is probably now east OF Florida.
North and northeastly winds have pre-
vailed in the middle and eastern states
with diminishing strength during the day.
Northerly winds in tho gulf states. North.
east winds with cloudy weather on
the immediate south Atlantic coast and
brisk winds southeast with falling barom-
eter now prevails west of Michigan and
Indiana. Clear weather is everywhere re-
ported except on the south Atlantic coast.
PROBABILITIES.
An area of very low barometer prob
ably exists north Of Nebraska, having ap-
parently passed over Oregon Wednesday
morning. A falling barometer, with in
creasing winds from southeast and south
west will probably be Friday morning
from lakes Huron and Superior to the
Missouri river. Easterly winds for the
lower lakes and pleasant weather in the
Atlantic and gulf states is probable.

United States Census.

the Census Bureau at Washington,
gives the total population Of all the
States and Territories Of the Union,
by the enumeration of 1870, as com

statements, purporting to give the
result of the last census, have been

but this is the first that has appear

be seen hat the total population Of
the United States in 1870 was 49,,
538, 1870, an increase in ten years of
7,004,S59. This increase is not so
much as was generally expected,
but when it is considered that the
great civil war of the last decade
swept away several hundred thous-

many emigrants from abroad were
discouraged from coming to our

increase is in Nevada, and after it
Nebraska. Two States only exhibit
u decrease, Maine and New lamp

heavy percentages Of increase, the
Southern and Middle States small
increase, while New England is al
most at Il stand-still. The table is
interesting and Instructive:
