THE NEW CENSUS.

POPULATION OF THE FOURTH, EIGHTH, AND
FIFTEENTH wARDS-A SMALL INCREASE
The new census of this city is completed.
with the exception of about 40 districts. These will DO
finished in very few days. 1t is expected that the total
increase over the population enumerated by the re-
cent census will not be more than 10000 The Seven

count of the removal Of residents TO other localities On

memorial has been presented to Congress by
number of settlers on agricultural lands in Cousa
County. California, praying for protection against
a very particularly mean kind of swindling. From
the numerous ailidavits accompanying this memo
rial it appears that quantities of valuable farming
land in that region have been claimed and sold by
the State as "overhowed" or "swamp" lands, the
memorialists representing that the lands in ques-
ton not only admirably adapted TO the raising
of grain, but actually occupied and tilled6y
settlers under the PrejmptiOn and Homestead laws.
The only color of excuse for chasing the lands as
swamp, and turning out rigltful settlers for the
benefit Of a ring of spectators seems TO be that
they are periodically overfiowed by freshets The
memoriasts affirm that the freshets occur only in
the Winter season, and far from inuring the land
for farming purposes are essential to its productive
ness. We have no information about this par
ticuar case further than the documents befoIe
Congress afford but the pdrte evidence of fraud
is very strong, and we beg that the matter may
have prompt and thorough examination.

umqucstioned, but there is great danger that it
may lead to some new measure of reconstruction,
of which we have had quite enough to demor-
alize the most sober and staid society in the
country. We cannot but believe that tho
source of half the trouble in the South is the
mistaken legislation which has given privileges
10 one class denied to others, and thus arraycd
one parry in violent hostility against another
We trust investigation Of the outrages will
convince Congress of the folly of continuing
political distinctions provocative of bitter and
relentless hostility.

The recent cold weather has been somewhat hard
upon our friends the sparrovs though they seem TO
have kept their spirits up remarkably even through
the bittorest rgor of the cold 1t shOuld be remom
bercd by all gentle people that this merry ttle exile
cannot get bis natural food in cold weather and that
il is generous and worthy act to remember It's need
and sprinkle few crumbs on the balcony or window
sill After few days of this benefaction the birds
will flock about your easements and oier you
thanks in their twittering dialect. In very
cold weather their need Of water is almost
greater than that OF food. Some of the
park keepers, who during an unusually "cold spelp
broke the ice to afford them access to the water aver
that they lit upon the picax welded by their bene
factor, so eager and athirst were they. 1t may bs
well enough, therefore, specially frgd occasions.
to offer them water well food In truth, we
cannot do too much for our little visitors They pro-
tect our trees during the Summer from those hdeOus
pendent worms which consume the foliage and hit

brood, which lend to urban spaces something OF
the sylvan grace of woods and fields. Let MS all be
cOnsderate of the little birds in this Winter weather.

Mr.. Hugh j. Hastings is Editor of The Com
mcrciat AdUertiSer, once journal of spot'ess
character and deserved renown. Mr.. James
Brooks is senior Editor of The EUeniRg Express,
a journal which must be valued by the Sham
Democracy, since they send him persistently to
Congress. OF the quarrel between these jour
nalists, and their mutual ordinations, we
purpose to say little but Mr.. Brooks on Mon
day made a statement from his seat IN
the House which deserves attention. He
stated, as fact within his knowledge
That (while he and his journal arc pro-
fesscdly Republican, Mr.. Hastings aforesaid is
bireling SPY of the Sham Democracy, paid
by them to injure and betray tho party with
which he pretcuds to act; and Mr.. Brooks
points TO the abundant Corporation Advertis-
ing in Mr. Hastings's journal as proof positive
that his charge is woll-grounded. AS no one
is more glib than Mr.. Hastings in stigmatizing
as "Tammany Republicans" those who are not
of his clique, this charge piques curiosity
while it demands investigation. We do not
believe Mr.. Brooks made it without knowing
where to find the facts which would establish
it beyond contradiction. Shall the public be
favored with those factsY

The death of Count Bismarck, which Mr.. OdO
Russell on Saturday last reported as imminent,
would undoubtedly be great misfortune for
Germany, but it would no more retard the
consummation of the union for which he so
nobly stroye than the fall of the least
of the soldiers who lie in expectancy
before the beleaguered capital of the
French. His work has virtually been completed,
and he can add little to the greatness and glory
of his country and race. The statement Of
DIR. 0do Russell has not been confirmed by
any subsequent dispatches, and we are disposed
to doubt it-nevertheless We give it as possibly
true.

Our financial philosophers find honor abroad,

delicate fatterers have come all the way from
Japan to initiate them in the unlimited manu-

be taught at Washington how to hoard in the

What to do with the remarkable investiga-
ton into which it has been involved evidently
puzzles the Methodist Book Committee. 1t is
probable that the charge against DR.. Lanahan
of having an opinion of his own will be sent

Meantime the members who subscribe the

about the accusations of fraud in the manage

There is such a thing, il seems, as riding
