We are indebted to FRANCIS A WALK
ER, Superintendent OF the Census LOT au'
vance sheets of the Ninth Census, com
prisipg Table II, the population OF eaen
State and Territory by counties Inc
population OF this State by counties we
have twice published, in connection with
discussions OF the apporuonment' That
publication we find upon comparison was
accurate, except an error Of seven, one
each in seven counties,
The aggregate population of the State
il 1904; the white populatl on, 494,O9S
the colorcd 1880. There has been a
vain in the aggregate since 1860 of Co.
34G in tho colorcd, loss of 1874 1t
nppears that the black population OF the
State was greater in 1850 than at any
other period, the slaves then numbering
10000 and tho free 3,0S2, or 23,5SS In ALL
In 1850 this had shrunk to 1881 slaves "a
loss of ,l2g) and 2,773 free IA loss ofSOo)
The loss of this element began ten wears
before the war. During that period 1t
was due to the extensive shipment Of
slaves southwark and stringent legislation
respecting the free blacks, which drove
many out of tue State But the loss oil
this element was more than ten times
greater in the decade since 1850 than in
the one that preceded. This would seem
to argue that West Virginia is not con-
genial home for the negro and that being
free to do so he Is inclined to migrate, II
also affords an interesting commentary on
some ideas that used prevail hereabouts
about the time the Congressional
amendment to our present Constitution
was under consideration. That amend
ment required us TO strike out provision
OF the Constitution iorbidding the
importation or immigration OF black
persons into the State, the Con.
ventOn having inserted it partly
out Of Difference to the slavery par.
ty, and partly from an apprehension that
without such an embargo the new State
would become a sort Of negro colony.
The COpperhcads use to tell us, after this
provision had been stricken out and a
gradual emancipation clause substituted
that IL the Constitution were adopted the
negroes would flock in from every quar-.
ter till the State would be overrun. How
different the event, Us We then told them
1t would be.
The aggregate increase Of our popula-
ton during the present century is shown
by these figures:

The CoIorGd Vote.


From the Mattlnsburg Statesman.
The vote of the "Colorcd troops" with
but two or three honorable exceptions,
throughout tho county, was cast .solldly
against the call for q Convention. Thus
Il Is that these newly hedged American
citizens ure always manipulated In the
interests Of Radicalisln, and In opposition
TO the interests Of their true friends.
The fact that the colored voters Of
Tho State, rs lar rs heard from, went al.
most unanimously against Convention,
Is conclusive proof that they arc will
qualified for an intelligent exercise of the
suffrage. =. L.

hot effiuvia that perysded the diabolical
recess, after the unhappy prisoners gol
out, was deadly poison. This cell would
be tolerable for one or WI prisoners fol-
sn hour OF two, but certainly no place in
which to confne q dozen such weather as
that of yesterday. The county court
ought 10 do a little better than that.
"A curious bet was decided in town
yesterday. Some gentleman bet that Chi.
cago did not contribute to the relief OF
Richmond sitter the great flood OF last
year. An inquiry was made of the mayor
of Richmond, and yesterday the following
letter was received In reply thereto: "OF-
FICE OF q MAYOR, RICHMOND, VA ,
October 20, IS7I-W. o. Harvey, ESQ.,
| Dear SRI have delayed responding to
your inquiry, In order that l might give
you sn official reply, and can now say, on
the authority of hon. Charles Campbell,
the custodian Of the fund contributed for
the reliefof the sufferers by the great flood
of 1870, that Chicsgo contributed nothing
20 that fund, either publicly or by private
subscription. Yours, very truly, A. M.
KELLEY, mayor" Richmond subscribed
$4,000 for the reliefof Chicago.
The corner of Gayoso and Desoto
streets is g continual annoyance to the
police. There is one rookery there of so
extensive and intricate a character that 1t
is impossible for any ordinary half dozen
men to hunt q culprit through it with any
hope of nsbbing him. The whole prem
ises are rented by a white woman who
sub-rents again to miserable women.
These make a living the best way they
can, as they say, but b worst way they
can according to the general notion Of
correct thinkers. Many oftheir wretched
hsbitations have not the first article of
furniture. A bundle Of nasty rags in a
corner is the only evidence of a bed that
can be found. The police do not know
what t. make of 1t. None of these women
are ever able to pay a fine, and when put
in the stationhonse they rather seem to
enjoy the change.

THE NEEDLE Sin.
The Contest AT the Fair-A Few Words
Relative Thereto.

The general determination of the off
GERS Of association to give an impartial
trial to the contestants, to show the supe-
riority of their respective gins, gave assur-
snce of fair play, and the test proceeded
quietly to the end. The low rate of speed
of the Germantown and Needle gins was
owing to q nut coming of of the stem OF
the governor valve OF the beautiful en-
CINE of Memphis manufacture, from
which the power was obtained; and these
two parties were offered a new trial in or
der hat they might have the speed their
respective gins required, that is three
hundred revolutions per minute; they de-
clined because they were already the vic
tors, and felt no desire to show still a
greater superiority.
The superiority of the Needle Gin is so
marked as to arrest the attention Of all.
and we predict for the inventor a good
reward from his invention. The appended
table shows the result of the trial test.
