CENSUS IN LOUISIANA.

Louisiana has been taking Census. Tho
State now numbers 954. $50, while in 1870
the population was only 726,9I5. The in
crease is ~, i75, and may be considered IS
a singular gain, considering the disturbed
political and social condition OF the State
for some time past. In 1870, the colorod
population was 36i,ci0, and the white
S6a, 0G5, the majority in favor of the for
mer being only 2,ll5. The present returns
show 10000 colorc,l, and 40i ,391 whites,
the majority now being I5,G6S. The col
ored population, therefore, has gained large
ly on the whites in the pas; five years.
This can be accounted for, when VIC state
that the tendency of the blacks has been to
work their way from the more northern
States Of the South TO those bordering on
the Gulf. 1t is believed that the aggregate
number of colorcd persons in Maryland,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia is, at
the present time, less than in 1870.
Another point is noticeable. The asser-
ton so frequently made, and which, during
the war, apparently seemed to be the case,
that the negroes were disposed to quit the
rural districts and crowd into the cities,
looks like being disprovcd by the census of
New Orleans. In 1870, the whites in that
city were l4o,923, and the blacks, 50,iIo.
In 1875, the whites are 1921, and the
blacks 81 CT. II viii IL seen there Is not
much difference betwecn the increase Of
the white and colored population. While
the increase OF the blacks in the whole
State has been $3.50, in New Orleans it
has been only 7,sol.
New Orleans has an aggregate Of 2oS,-
36S, in 1875, against l9l, lis in 1870. One
would have supposed that, with the gener-
al complaint respecting business, this city
would hardly have held its own.

WILL THEY CONE.
The Weston Commercial says:


Some Of the 'trooly loiP papers of Kan.
sas, headed by the Leavenworth TIsrs
have set up \ wolfish howl because OF a
rumor that JEFF. Davis will deliver The al
dress at the Kansas City Exposition. The
TINES threatens to withdraw from the fair
the entire patronage Of Kansas if Davis is
the orator. BEING subsidized organ OF
the Administration, it is, of necessity, a
Observation-Disclosures paper, ready at all times
with its ton-tom and fuzzy-wuzzy to piIe
all hands to the front with their battle axes
and war whoops. 1t might be of some in
terest for the TINES to know that the ma
iority Of the people in Kansas have finished
the war of the Rebellion, and We will wager
almost anything, that If JEFF. Davis does
speak at the fair, there will be more Kan
sans in Kansas City on that day than was
ever known before in any ten day the TiMFs
may select"
We do not intend to argue this question
further, with the Commercial or any other
bourbon sheet. We only refer the "doubt-
ing Thomas" to the extracts from Kansas
papers, published in TES Tn = yesterday
and this morning. We think that they
very plainly say that Kansas men vii not
he present unless JEFF. Davis is absent.

Occasionally, about two weeks ago, sen
saiion reports were published, announcin;
the arrival OF grand army Of grasshop
pcrs in the northwestern counties Of Thu
State, doing immense damage. The fol
lowing, VIC presume are the facts. 4 pri
vale letter from the upper Republican
states that up to the 18th the grand army
OF grssshoppers had not made their ap.
rcarsncc there. In Jewell county, on TIE

damage. In Phillips county some little
damage has already been done by a squad
of the pests. But al that have made their
appearance seem to be detached SO ua.l-
that have evidently l.ecn blown b. the
winds, against their will, and they do net
ren,uin long. They have done very little
damage.
A Subscriber in Cloud county writes to
the Topeka Commonwealth, on the 10th, as
follows: For the past three days graxhop-
pers have been passing over in considerable
hunters. On the 18th the number vss
fully as grea, as on any previous day this
season. Their course was generally south-
west. They have done no damage in this
county that know Of, and l Know that
the damage reported further west is greatly

twelve hours either at Kansas City

country, $50 great and free" arc willing
and most anxious 70 forget that such o

will never trouble jeff, never abuse him,

rebelled against good government, en-
deavorod TO crush IT, friends OF
liberty, and when he was defeated, tina; he
was magnanimously released by 4 mcrciful
and forsiving people. 1t i'll becomes him
to address tie surviving soldiers OF the re-
bellion, and we have not the least doubt, If
he speaks at Kansas City, that there will
be trouble.
A true Union man cannot stand by and
see traitor worshiPpcd by 4 mob, without
feelings Of resentment ond anger We think
that the press Of Kansas has spoken candid
ly and plainly on this subject, and the man
ayers of the Fair should notify Davis that it
is not pBndent or wisc for him TO visit their
town. Ii they do this TIE TINS will CO.

A Strange Ballroom.

A Colorado paper tells us OF bali
which took place in silver mine eight
hundred feet under ground. 1t says:
The visitors, over one thousand in mum.
bcr, were whirled through the tunnel to
tho chamber, on platform chr, drawn
by six men. The tunnel and chamber
were brilliantly Illuminated. The walls
Of the chamber were decorated with
flags and banners. The spectacle look,
ing out Of the tunnel from point oppo-
site the chamber was impressive and
picturesque. The waving light of hun
dreds Of candles placed on either side
Of tho floor OF the tunnel, with the glare
of sunshine Mt its month, was scene
worthy tho pencil Of the artist. And
then the music was heard for the first
time deep down in the mine. Gordon's
string band struck up some lively airs
that had n magical effect on every one
present. Awny went stately DANES and
virgins fair with their lords Of creation
into the merry dance, and thus the ies-
tivities commemorative Of great event
in mining affairs were fully inaugunted.
An ample lunch, with hot coffee and
Lemonade, Was prepared by some one, Of
which every one partook. No whisky,
wine or beer was used on tho occasion.
Water, bright water, as pure rs angels
thoughts, that rushed down Silverdale
on its way to the great ocean, was the
favorite drink on this festive occasion.

When Did the War Begin !

The supreme court Of tho United
States affirmed the decision Of the court
OF appeals Of New York in the case of
McStear vs.. Mathews, Mr.. Justice
Strong delivering the opinion. This was
an action upon the acceptance of n bill Of
exchange of tho firm OF Branden,
Chandliss & Co., Of New Orleans, it be-
ing alleged that Mathews, living in New
York, was ut the time OF the acceptance
n member Of that firm. The only ques.
ton was whether the partnership existed
at tho date of the acceptance, April %,
1861, the war being then fragrant. The
court held that although war existed at
the date Of the acceptance, still, Us it
had not been declared or publicly rccog-
nized by tho President, it did not have
the effect to work dissolution OF q
partnership, OF which member or mem
bers resided in New York and tho others
in New Orleans. The proclamation OF
April IT, 1861, is not regarded rs n dis.
tinct recognition of M existing state OF
war, nor yet is that OF the 10Th OF April,
which announced the blockade. The
reference to tho people Of Louisiana in
these cases is to " citizens Of revolution.
ary States, and in the judgment Of the
court the purp)se avowed by the Prcsi-
dent is inconsistent with their being re.
gardCd Ms enemies.
