that Mr.. DAVIS exposed himself and

We believe in the triumph Of justice

North will not be spared punishment.
The more we are ruined the more they
shall be ruined finally. Themeasure they
melted out to us is being measured
back again. We are not prosperous,
but they shall not escape the day Of
Judgment. Even tie athiesT, Frederick

fought beyond the stars. Beyond the
stars, the South has friend and ere

Senator Brownlow, on the Civil

very strong letter to the venerable
Truman Smith against that offensive
measure to the whole white population

letter may be stated in a single SEN

the effects of this bill, whatever the
motive behind it, sis the destruction
of the republican party in the South
and the certain injury of the coioTad

into a law and attempt it's enforcement
in the Southern public schools, if they
desire to prove the truth or falsity of
Senator Brownlow's opinion.

Hatteras about week since. It's huge

were bare and somewhat resembled

and Enducted as Sheriff OF Wake.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the
Board of County Commissioners met
according to adjournment. The day
was occupied in the consideration of
the Sheriff question, in which much in
terest was manifested by the general
public, the Court room being filled.
The Board ruled that any person pre-
senting himself as a claimant to the
Office must present his sseveral bonds
at the same time. Il. f. Lee present
ed his certificate of election given bv
the old Board on Thursday last, bnt
did not present his bonds. The Board
refused to recognize Mr.. Lee as the
Sheriff elect, and no other applicant
appearing, the office of Sheriff was de-
clared vacant. Upon the vote to ac-
cept the certificate of Mr.. Lee, Messrs.
Allen, Jones, Turner and Newell voted
in the negative, and Mr.. links in the
Affirmative.
A motion was made that Mr.. Lee be
made tax-colicctor for the present
year, but the Board postponed this
question and adjourned for dinner.

bishop sEayens> lseastIiness

In the News of Sunday last we pub
llshed all article written by the carpet
bag Radical Bishop of the Methodist
Church, North, Gilbert Haven. 1t
first appeared ID the Independent, but
we took it from the Christian Advocate
of ST. Louis, a religious paper publish
ed iii the interest of Southern Mctho-
dists. The article Is notable princi-
pally for its lying. This man Haven
is possessed of some ability. He writes
very well. but we doubt if there was
ever white clergyman in the South
more depraved in mind, so far as his
social intercourse with the negroes is
concerned. He appears to labor for
nothing else but a grand amalgamation
of the two races. AS long as Southern
white men refuse to permit negroes TO
sit in railroad cars with them, or to
eat at the same table that they eat at,
or to receive negroes as social equals,
Haven will carry on a warfare against
them.
He colors his pictures well. he
lies without really telling lies. la
Georgia he makes the negro the worst
treated of animals. We put him Ill
filthy cars, our railroad conductors as
| sail him with oaths, curses and blows
Only in South Carolina is he well
| treated. and Haven thinks if South
Carolina stands, all the other Southe n
States will be raised up to her lofty
19vel." Haven holds that social INTEL
course with Legroes is ''Iufty," and as
he is said to have not long ago taken
| dinner at a negro's house, sitting at a
| table sandwiched betwee two wcnciIcs,
we are certain that he has risen to the
lofty level of South Carolina.
1t is impossible to read this mans
writing without feeling Of disgust for
the mental depravity that can openly
advocate social intercourse between
the two races. 1t is also impossible to
read without indignation the whole
sale lying of the man. Perhaps the
best evidence of his misrepresentation
is the fact of his undisturbed soiourn
in the South. In some other counties
he would be forced to leave; here we
treat him with quiet contempt. Re
spectacle Northern men and women
viii not associate with him; hence.
! perhaps, his close communion with
negro men and negro wenches; hence
! his loud clamors for the civil rights
/ bin. He is dirty fellow; a disgrace
to the religion he pretends to teach
a man scarcely worth the words we
have bestowed upon finland we now
dismiss the low and pitiful carricature
upon the white race.-4ttanta Ne,Cs.

facts, the distribution by age and sex of
deaths from consumption, pneumonia,

Returning to the former system of de-
lineation. Gen. Walker showed the localities

distribution of illiteracy in the aggregate
population and in the white male over 81
the chosen sections of the principal foreign
portions of our population, the relative per
capita taxation of the different sections OF
the country and the corn and cotton growing
regions. Two thirds of the Irish are east ol
Buffalo, while two thirds of the Germans
are west of that meridian; the WEIGH are al
ways to be found underground in the
mines; the Canadians in the forests, the
saw-mills, the carpenters shops, and
wherever there is wood; the Swedes
are, by emnence farmers and for this
reason are particularly sought after by rail-
road corporations. The great Chinese ava
lanche has not yet fallen. Less than three
| hundred Celestials have crossed the Rocky
Mountains to become house servants, and SO
small are their numbers. even on the Pacific
coast, that it is hard to represent them truth
fully on our density maps.
Those who listened to Prof. Walker will
eagerly await the atlas of which these epic

ing features of the work were not presented,
all the copy not having passed as yot
from the engraver's hands. The atlas will
probably be published before July.

AMERICAN GROWTH.
WHAT THE CENSUS SHOWS.

THE FORTHCOMING STATISTICAL ATLAS
WHAT 1T Is DESIGNED To ILLUSTRATE
SOMETHING ABOUT THE CENTER OF THE
CREATIoN-THE RELATION OF SEXES, ETC.
A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Post, writing from New Haven, thus
describes some of the features which the
census of 1870 exhibit: Professor Francis
A. Walker closed the notable series of popu-
lar scientific lectures given this winter by
President Porter and the professors Of the
Sheffield Scientific s chool by an interesting
exhibit and explanation of the various sta
tigraphic maps and charts he has been pre-
pairing during the last year for his forthcom-
ing statistical atlas. This atlas, it will be re-
membered, was authorized by the act of
March 8, 1873, to illustrate more completely
than was ATTEMPTED in the first publication
of the ninth census the results of that emu
meration. 1t will contain about fifty plates,
and will show to the eve. by number
Of ingenious and original methods OF deIin-
cation, the meaning of the dreary columns
of figures which fill the three bulky volumes:
General Walker selected twenty-four of
these charts for representation and explana-
ton this evening.
Prefacing his remarks with the observation
that midway between the two greatest
studies of man-himself and his race-was
the study of his country, he proceeded at
once to the exposition of the charts as they
were projected on large screen by the stere-
opticon. The first shown was a hypometric
sketch of the United States, showing by a
graduation OF shade the inequalities of its
surface.
POPULATIONS AND PREDICTIONS.
Passing rapidly over charts showing the
distribution of heat and rain. he threw upon
the screen striking map OF the great river
systems. These he grouped into four gene
raj divisions: the Atlantic, North Lake,
Mississippi and Pacific. The Atlantic basin,
with an area of 297 1897 square miles, held a
population of IA 297, 453 souls; the North
Lake, with an area of 1s0,01S, contained
4,399, 6O4; the Mississippi, with an area of
S,766, only $50, 40; or less than one to the
square mile. OF the tobacco raised in the
United States, nearly sixty per cent. grew
in the Ohio basin of the Mississippi sys-
tenn. The South Atlantic system produced
three fourths of all our rice. Almost all our
cotton comes from the Lower Mississippi
basin, with population of 3,5O0,O00, The
more northern ststes lead in wheat, the Up

The New York Sun thus speaks of some
pictures now on exhibition in Broadway,
painted by Gordon Trumbull, of Hartford:
They ara pictures of fish. The first of them
represents trout, one of the kind which
are found chiefly in the waters of Maine, in
Rangely and the other lakes which flow into
the Androscoggin. This fish is taken by the
artist at the moment when the sportsman
has lost him, to-wit, when in the struggle
for life after being hooked, he has made a
mad rush over heavy fall, and broken the
tackle, He is falling in front of the foam
which gives very difficult background,
though 1t is we'll managed, to bring out the
peculiar beauties Of the fish. His mouth is
open, for the fish is nearly dead with the
long contest, and now, thrown out into the
air by the dashing torrent, he is falling open
mouthed and exhausted. The anatomy of
the trout, the peculiar construction of the
skin, the sides. shades and colors of the
crimson and gold spots, the wonderful tints
in gill plates and around the head, all indi-
cate that the picture is a portrait. Mr.
Trumbull does not paint ideal ish. Hepro
duces almost Photographic hkenesses, but
with infinitely more life and reality than
any photograph.
"The next picture is a small group of two
trout lying on green, rich grass. These make
ones mouth water to look at They are so
cool, so spbdued in their exquisite colors,
having just that dryness and no more which
trout acquire ten minutes after being taken.
The green heritage in which they lie is az
delicately and perfectly painted IS the fish.
