gte The loss of constitutional population
in Virginia was due to the erection of
fifty counties into the State of West
Virginia compromising a constitu-
tienal population of AZ, OLA as detefIa
mined by the Ninth Census. + Adding
this to the population efethe present
State of Virginia, we have a total of
81, ,667,177, a gain of 4.A per cent. up
on the return of Virginia in 1850.
The State eff Nebraska, admitted in
to the, Union. in 1864, was found to j
have a Constitutional population on
the lst of June, 1870 of lbs, ,993.
. The State of. Nevada, likewise ad-
mitted in 1864, was found to have a
constitutional population of 42.491.
Of this aggregate of 38, lis. .253, the
