Statistic. Of Great Britain.

The method adopted II England for
takin. the census is good one. The
whole work is performed in one day.
The country is subdivided into suitable
districts so that one person can easily
enumerate the inhabitants in each, and
in this way the actual population of the
United Kingdom, on the day the count
is made, is definitely known. This
avoids the errors which are inseparable
from the system Of devoting weeks in
this country. The English method lie
not only practicable, but is manifestly
desirable. 1t can be as easily accom-
plished as it is to hold an election in
single day. In former years it was
thought absolutely necessary to devote
four or five days to an election, and this
idea still prevails, il seems, in Texas.
The last English census was taken
in 1871, and the populations wa found
to be 81 ,Sl7, los, or about 100000 less
than that OF the United States year
previous. The excess of females over
the other sex was found to be 748, $50
This, in part, is probably in consequence
OF the large demand in that country tor
army and navy recruits, together with
the TACT that greater number of males
than females emigrate to other coun-
tries. The exhibit does not present
very encouraging outlook for all Of the
daughters OF England tofulfill the sup
posed destiny OF woman.
The total increase in population for
the last decade is shown to have been
, 524 ,627, with an emigration Of 1914.
594. One.eighth OF the population OF
England, Ireland, Scotland ard Wales
are crowded into the city Of London.
AT the last census that metropolis con-
tanned 3,SS3,092 souls, or nearly as
many as the entire population Of the
State of New York, which, in 1870,
was given at 4,3S2,75S. 1t is almost
inconceivable that such vast throng
can be huddIed into one city, vet go it
is in the British capital.

and we have $509, 900 as the entire debt
OF the city in 1871, if no false statements
were made to Council. If Hall, Wilkin-

THE RAILROAD SUBSCRIPTION.

n 4 n
The Mtsliqeacsr devoted a large
amount of space yesterday morning to
a rei,eratiou OF it's often answered OBJ
iectious to the making OF subscrlp"
ton to the capital stock Of the Wheel
ING and Lake Erie railroad. 1t urges
nothing OF any importance that was
not fully set forth prior - the election
last June and pasaed upon by the people
At that time. We do not intend to
burden our columns with a repetition
of the controversy. The whole matter
is now in the hands OF the City Council,
the members having been fully in
structed by the people and knowing
July what is their duty in view OF those
instructions.
Gu behalf of the friends OF the pro-
posed Improvements we cannot pass by
without some resentment the unjust
and unjustifable assaults which the
Mtelliqsncsr has made upon all who
have been laboriug honestly and faith
fully for what they believed promotive OF
the public good. Its Characterization OF
the friends of the railroad and bridge
AZ paid agents aud claquers," is in
famous. In it's whole fight against an
Improvement which nearly three-fourtbs
of our citizens have approved and de-
mauded, it has ASSUMED from the
beginning that all the projectors, advo-
Gates and friends of the enterprise, the
people who voted for it and the mem
beers OF Council who were authorized TO
make the subscription, all, without
exception, were a pack OF swindlers
and knaves who were trying
to rob the city. 1t has employed quite
as much unmerited abuse as reasona-
bic argument in its effort to lock the
wheels of progress, and has never, from
the time when It's editor refused to read
the contract which had been made for
the building of the road, sought to
place before its readers the truth con-
corning the matter. 1t would not IN
vestigate fairly it dIi not want to know
anything in favor OF the enterprise 1t
was laboring to destroy; and still con-
tined to libel without stint every man
who was in favor OF anv railroad that
did not make it's depot on the Island
and embrace in its route the valley OF
Wheeling creek.
As regards its assertion yesterday
morning that the REGlsrER s advocacy
of the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
railroad bridge subscriptions has been
Influenced by any mercenary motive or
by any consideration other than the de-
sire we have for the general prosperity
OF the city, we can only characterize 1t
az a lie. The editor knew it was false
when he penntd it. We have the salts.
faction of knowing that our judgment in
relation TO these enterprises has been
endorsed and our course approved by a
very emphatic majority Of the voters OF
the city. Here we are willing to let the
matter rest. We have done what we
conceived to be our duty in regard to it /;
the people have authorized the Council
to make the subscription; and the
responsibility is now in the hands OF
that body. 1t is capable ofjudging for
itself what is the proper course to be
pursued.
