The Republic, Washington magazine

concerning the different wars in which the
United States have been engaged. In the

O21 soldiers were engaged; in Ike war Of
1872 to 1916, 527 Col; in the Mcxican war,

while + e, a? were missing i'll action. Since

sions, over SOL ,C00,000. Dcdrcing 50, 600,
Geo for former pensioners, there is left
S2iG,C00.CO0 growing out OF the rebellion.
Some idea of the number Of pensions and

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Special telegraphic correspondence OF the
Courier-J ournal.l ~.
WASHINGTON, September 4.-There are
quite a number of Republican Senators
and members now in the city, all of
whom have something to say about the
recent circular of Attorney General
Williams on the so-called outrage bust
ness in the South. 1t is much to the
honor of two Southern Republican Sen
ators, lately here, that they have taken
no part in this carpet bag plot against
the South, but decidedly disapprove of
it. The carpetbaggers are full OF ex-
ultation, and say the whole thing is now
over, meaning thereby that the people
in the States controlled by them will be
SO cowed by Grants application of bay
onets that they will give up and submit
to be robbed without resistance. This
is the view taken by Patterson, West
and Sypher, who now feel that they will
have an easy time in South Carolina
and Louisiana.
Senator Cameron, on his attention be-
ing called to-day to the disorder in the
South, rubbed his hands and said: 1t
will do us good it will do us goodp'
Chandler is reported to have said he
was always ready to join in putting
the screws on the sons-of-bitches down
South.
An ex.member of Congress from Texas
remarked the war ought to have lasted
seven years longer, so as to have com
pleted it and break the spirit Of the
Southern people.
The fact that Kentucky is so largely
and steadily Democratic makes the
feeling of the government officials very
bitter against the State, and there is a
keen desire to get at the people and in
some way or other break up Democratic
ascendancy.
The especial reference Of the Presi
dent in his letter to South Carolina was
the result mainly of Attorney General
Williams exparte representations, who
has in turn been manipulated by the
leader of the South Carolina ring, Sena-
tor Patterson. As the only violations
Of law in South Carolina in a good while
occurred recently at Georgetown, where
two negro mobs contended, threatening
to burn and sack the town, and no whites
we're connected with it, the accusation
of the Presidents regarded as especially
slanderous aud unprovoked. The Dem
ocrats in South Carolina have for years
made no party contest; and they being
in the minority over 10000 votes and
perfectly snbjagated, it is obvious
hat Senator Patterson does not need
tn, military arm against them. The
real occasion of his call for troops ia
that b. fears a movement by such reform
Republicans as Senator Robertson,
which, 1t supported by Conservatives,
would be formidable; and, in rallying
the negroes to he thieves ticket, it is
very important t. him TO have on his
side the epaulets nd prestige Of the
regular army of the gpited States. The
game has been well PLACED and is so far
completely successful.

vote of the party has been developed
and with iudicious party management
tempered with fairness to all classes,
white and black, this strength can be
maintained for years to come. If how
ever, partisanship is to come in ahead
of the public welfare, our splendid ma
jorities, rolled up by so much labor on
the part of the press and other workers

The population of China, ootwitb.

reduced it by one-half, is still marvel
lous for the amazing figure to which il
reaches. Baron Reichtofen has esti-
mated it at one hundred millions, but

explorer, in a recent communication TO
the Societe de Geographic of Paris, de-
clares this to be much below the real
facts. Basing his estimate upon his
knowledge Of the province of Kiaugsi,
which he thinks below the average, NJ.
David reckons the population of the
Land at three hundred millions. But
for infanticide and smallpox he believes
the people would double themselves

LAST Tuesday negro named Lewis
Franklin committed 80 outrage upon a
fourteen year old daughter of a Mr.
Strange, near Versailles, Kentucky
The fend was arrested, and will doubt
less be punished as he deserves. The
Northern Radicals never have anything
to say about these outrages, although
they are Of almost daily occurrence
in the South. We see something of the
kind by nearly every mail. When a
negro up in Pennsylvania is guilty of
such crime higher law prevails and
the mob hangs him. That is all right
when done north of the Ohio river; and
the general Government is never in
voked to send troops to quell local dis
turbances.
