rsial s.ai.slies.-.s1nin Census.

Volume Second ofthe Ninth Census
OF the United States, containing near
ly seven hundred pagos, quarto, is do
voted to vital statistics. 1t contains
maps and charts so tinted in different
shades Of the same color as to report
to the eye tho prevalence of certain
prominent diseases in tho various Soc
lions Of the country, According TO
tho map the localities most free from
the ravages ofconsumption are Florida,
middle Georgia, a section in and near
Burko county, N. c., and the region
Of The Snlphnr Springs in South Sest-
crn Virginia. These regions, with
the exception OF Florida, are not tho
ones favored by the medical profession
as sanitary resorts for pulmonary
patients. The reason why is perhaps
found in tho fact that these healthy
localities have not been written up by
interested parties. These maps and
charts are valuable 10 the physician,
and to the invalid who is seeking u
change OF climate for tho benefit of
his health st..f.
Among the interesting statistics in
the volume we quote tho following:
The total population Of the country
is about thirly.cight and a quarter
millions.
The total number Of deaths 10 the
current census year, 492, ,263, or about
l,349 per diem.
March soems to bc The most fatal
month, leading oil others by about
1000.
March, April and May form tho
most fatal quarter, exceeding any other
three consecutive months by over 49,
900.
The births number l,l00,475, or
about 5000 per diem.
The blind number about 10000.
Tie deaf and dumb, about 10000.
Tho idiotic, about 2I,000
The insane, about $4,000, nearly
one third of whom are of foreign birth.

This gentleman is the son Of q noble

journalist in Pennsylvania. While he
has not succOcded in Incorporating
into the Constitution tho dootrine Of
the .most enlightened moderu Judges,
Engiish and American, which he ex,
pressed in his ameudment as first of.
fcrcd, yet he has by his ability, learn
ing and pcrtiuncity, fairly driven the
Convention from its first resolve to
adhere to the antiquated provisions OF
1870. lie has carried through enough
Of his original amendment to make a
decided improvement in tho present
law, and to rescue the State from the
rsproach which refusal to mako any
amendment would have brought upon
her For this the pross aud the poo-
pie owe their thanks to George NJ.
Dallas, of Philadelphia.
We are really astonishcd OF tho up
parent cowardice Of the members Of
the Constitutional Convention, in ap-
preaching the libel question. The H.
bel clause in the present Constitution
isa disgrace TO the state. The clause,
MS amended through the effoi is OF Mr..
Dallas, reads as follows:
sEc Z. That the printing press shall be FREQ
TO every person who undertakes TO examine the
proceedings Of the Legislature or any branch Of
the government, and no law shall ever be made to
restrain tho right thereof. The FREQ communica-
,ion Of thoughts and opinions Is ono Of the nyal-
liable rights Of man, and every eiiiren may freely
speak. write and print on any subject, being re-
sponsibe for the abuse Of that liberty. No con-
yietion shall be had in any prosecution for the
publication Of papers relating to tue Official con-
duct Of officers or in public capacity or to any
other matter proper for public investigation or in
formation, where the fact that such publication
was not malciousy Of neglgcntly made shall to
established to the satisfaction Of the jury. And
In sll indiotnenls fer lbels, the jury shall have
the right to determine the Law and the facts, un-
der the direction OF the court as in othcr cases.

A Washington telegram states that
a delegation ofcolored men from Vir-
giuia recently called on Postmaster
General Cresswell to request him to
Appoint one Of their number a. one Of
tho now special post o1lce agents.
"Tho Postmaster 6cnoral," says tho
telcgram, s'rcceivcd them conrteously,
but expressed his regrets that he could
not crafty them, as on. the recon-
mcndation OF Colonel John s. Mosby
hc had just appointed II. Clay Brad
Icy of Virginia" Tho Postmaster
General bows gracefully and extends
his hand cordially to the colored folks,
smiles blandly when they prefer their
request, and then, with u most dolcful
and lugubrious countenance, the corn
ers of his mouth drawn downward,
and the salt tears yelling up from his
full heart, he "regrets" that lie has
Just handed over to protegc of Colo
mel Mosby tho little "posish" which
his visitors have como TO look after.
We imagine there was rolling-up OF
whito cycballr and an exhibition Of
grinning ivory, when Crosswcll's po-
lilcness was rounded off by this ar
nounccmcnt. Tho idea Of Mosby, the
rough rider OF the rebellion, the
scourgo of loyalty in Northern Virgil
mia, the blood-staincd partisan Of the
lost cause, the rcd handed slave-catcl
er, controlling appointments under the
superlatively and exquisitcly loyal
Mr.. Cresswell, must have been enough
to disturb even the polite eqnipoise Of
the dignified colorcd persons whose
mission and department extractcdsuch
extreme courtesy from the Chief Post
master of the United States. wheth-
or or not their disappointment was
much modified by the fact that they
were so "courtconsly rccei, ed" tho
telegram saith not. Their cogita-
tions as they left tho patriotic pros
ence were perhaps not very pleasant,
and probably were mainly directed to
invidious comparisons Of their own
claims with those Of Colonel Mosby

1t is so seldom that We find Radi-
can newspaper which tells the truth
partially, that we are compelled to
iransierl The following, ffom the Aisers
Journal, 10 our columns, which says;
Il appears by the official report Of
the Secretary Of the Senate, that for
the session ending in May, 1879, that
each Senator cost tho people Of the
United Statos about $50 to cleanse his
person, oil of which was charged to
the United States. The cost embraces
SOAP, towels, washing and cologne wa
ter, bay rum, French cosmetics. If
the people of tho United States have
to pay for keeping their Senators
clean, the better plan would be to give
it out by contract, and perhaps II
could DO done cheaper. They might
bo scrubbed every morning, which
ought TO be sufficient, unless they arc
unusually dirty.
The people ire not aware generally
that they are taxed by their rcprcscn-
tatives for personal cleanliness but
II is nevertheless truo; thcy had to
pay upward of $50 head at that ses-
sion for such a purpose. Independent
of the above charge, they also used
during the session each 3 expensive
English hair brushes, costing over SO
each, besides 80 pate brushes, no doubt
for the use of those who had bald
heads, besides about 200 combs, all of
which were charged to tho people of
the United States. An English hair
brush will last ordinary persons for
several years, but these dirty Senators
use no less than threo each at single
session of about four months, or else
they keep stock for other purposes,
and then make tho people pay for
them. Their tobacco and snuff they
also charged 10 the people.
They also used 33 boxes Of lemons,
costing upward ofs220; 900 pounds of
granula:ed sugar-about half ton,
and 33 pounds Of So tea, all charged
TO the United States. Why not charge
their board at once to the people also.
II is such abuses as these pracliced by
members of Congress that leads 10 tho
shameful stealing Of the peoples mon
ey, and is converting our legislative
halls into a den of thieves.
So far no member of Congress has
raised his voice against these abuses,
for fear OF being ostracsed by those
who practice them; and the press,
with scarcely an exception, Is silent
on tho subject, particularly at Wash
ington, for thoy will lose some patron
ago that tho members have In their
power to bestow.-M Miners Journal.

A PUBLIC ScAsDAL.--T The new states
Of tie West have not, perhaps, much
latitude of choice in the selection Of
men 10 Gil Offices Of dignity and trust,
but they seem for the most part pecu.
lisrly unfortunate in their United
States Senators. The latest scandal is
about tho new Senator, Mitchell, from
Oregon, whose rcal name, 1t is said,
is Nipple. lie was an emigraut from
Pennsylvania, and there is now living
in Franklin, in that state, as servant
in q hotel, woman who claims TO be
his wife. Ho did not marry her till
her own reputation made it necessary,
and after living with her about q year
he deserted her with another woman
Mr.. Mitchell, alias Nipple, has pub
lished 10 the Oregon papers an expla-
nation--which we have not secn--of
the circumstances of his early life, but
1t is unfortunate that man with such
q record, which needs explaining,
should be sent TO the United States
Senate. II the story was known to
the people Of Oregon before hc was
chosen Senator, tho disgrace in a
measure belongs to the state, aud is
an insult to the Senate; If it was not
known to them, they should request
the Senator TO return to private life.
