WAR AND TIE CENSUS.
The Calamity OF the Rebellion
what u Cost the United states In
Population.

From the New York Evening Post.]
Were there no other record of our
great cisilwar, the figures of the nation
al census would show, beyond dispute,
that one of the greatest calamities which
ever befell a people has fallen upon the
Unfted States within the last ten years.
The aggregate population of the coan-
try is reported to have been as follows :
In 1910, l7,069, ,453
In 1850, 23,l9l ,S76
In 1860, 3I,443. .321
In 1870, 3S,3l2, ,633
Thus, from 1910 to 1850 the increase
in population was 6,122,423, or So 81
per cent. from 1850 to 1860 it was s.
251 AS, or 35:5S per cent But from
1860 to 1870 it has been but 6,869,312,
or 21.S5 per cent.
Now, if the natural and regular
growth of the nation had been undis-
turbed, the rate of increase would have
been quite as great since 1860 as before.
The disturbances in Ireland, the spread
of republican principles in Europe, the
increasing evils of crowded population
in many parts o: Europe,and the steady
growth of confidence throughout Chris
tendon in our institutions and in our
future prosperity, would have at once
stimulated emigration, and improved its
character. On the other hand, the ex-
tension of railroads and teleeraphs
opens new and boundless tracts OF coun-
try to settlement, and thus makes room
for the rapid increase eof population. i
is well known that it Is in the vast ano
newly settled agricultural district of any
country that men multiply fastest, and
that whatever makes additional terrific
ry available, adds to the rate Of increase
Thus, on every ground, the United
States ought to have grown as rapidly
during the last ten years rs ever before
But, at the same rate of increase as
that shown by the census of 1860, the
population Of the United States il. 1870
woQld- haye been AZ, $40, 554 or 4,S1S,
221 more than it was. Thus tile loss Of
the nation by war, in human lives, s,actual
or potential, was certainly between foul
and five milhors, which IS more than the
whole population of these States at the
adoption of the constitution This is
made up of several parts; Of which the
actual deaths in battle and in camp and
the number of births prevented by tht
destruction or absence of the young
strengthen the land are the chief. When
Int is remembered that the loss of wealth
| is greater, id proportion, than that o
life, and that each issa progressive loss
not of harvest only but Of seed, a loss
which goes on increasing for an indefi
mite future. the frightfnl waste of wal
appears in q most impressive light ~:

superstition which distrusts, Friday, in
the minds of sailors especially, is said
to have resulted from a studied expert

the purpose of exploding the supersti-
ton. They resolved 10 build and fit
out ship, of which the most notable
things should expressly coincide with
Friday. They laid her keel on Friday,
launched her on Friday. named her Fri
day, found captain named Friday, ship.

The Capl,uIalien Of Paris.

The disastrous war into which NAPo-
LEON plunged the French people has cul-
minated in the capitulat,on of Paris and
the disarmament ofsthe troops therein.
with the exception Of $4,000 National
Guards, to whom is entrusted the duty
of preserving order in the city.
France has met with a succession of
disasters from the first, There never
was CLEAN of sunlight to encourage
and inspire; battle after battle was lost,
province after province subjugated, city
after city occupied. Yet we question if
there are any more inspiring passages
in French history than the sad story of
the war from the hour the corrupt and
imbecile empire was swept from power
by an outraged people. The surrender
at Sedan and the enforced nighto the
Empress, early in September, left the ma
ton without government, without an
~ ~
army, and with every department of the
public service disorganized and betray-
ed.
The agentlemen Of the pavement" as
BIsdARcK styled them,took the direction
of affairs. The ablest civilians and gen.
erals we're called to the public service,
tried and discarded or retained as they
demonstrated their usefulness; vast ar
mics were created, and the accessible ar
mories of the old and the new worlds
drained Of their arms and munitions
Yet they were defeated, as any people
would have been under like circumstan-
ces. The hastily drawn, i'll disciplined
and indifferently armed militia of the
people were no match for the well train
ed, splendidly Differed and armed, and
thoroughly seasoned soldiers Of the
German Emperor. Measured by the
sacrifices men are willing to make for
what is to them sacred cause, the
French people Of to day need not be
ashamed of the, place they will fll in
history.
