POPULATION OF THE CCUNTET.-Ihe
census taken in 1870 serves but a poor
guide to the population of the country
at the present time. That document,
including the territories, gave the
number at 3S,55S,371. Since 1870, a
census has been taken in fifteen of The
states, in which it is found the increase
since 1870, has been about 100000.
These fifteen states had, in 1870, some
thing over one-third of the population
Of the United States, from which it is
estimated that the entire aggregate
increase has been about 100000.
Tie total is often referred TO as at from
100000 to 45,OOO,OOO, and prob,
ably the last-named figure is none too
high, all the facts analyzed and
properly considered.

SURPRlsED.-Several Eastern news
papers now quote the daily value OF
greenbacks in gold. The inhabitants
of those States have been so long ac
customed to consider dollar in green
backs as equivalent to a rea! dollar,
that the new quotations attract con-
siderable attention. 1t surprises some
persons to learn that the paper dollar,
in which all of this business Is tranSac-
ted is really but 81 or SO cents.

the bitterness of human iniidelity.

and simulated fondness for the rag

WHAT Is THoUGHT OF IT.-The
proposition of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company to build the thirty
second parallel road for the Iaud grant
alone has evidently produced a strong
effect upon public opinion at the East
as well as in the West, and it Is diff
ficult to preceive how Tom Scott can
evale the force Of the reasoning in
volyed.
The New York Tribune says of the
offer; g This is 2 pretty good expos.
ure Of the impudence of the Texas Pa
ciiic lobby, and if it is made in good
faith it ought to put q final stop to ali
applications for further government
aid from that quarter. We presume the

ness has been steadily pushing for.
ward It's work. We do not advise
Congress to give lands TO this or any
other company. If the grants have
lapsed by the default of the grantees,
it is better not to revive them. We
only insist that the Southern Pacific
Company has given an uDauswerable
reason why Colonel SCOTS proposals
should not be considered for mc-
ment.'

There is considerable talk in MiSsis-
sippi of amending the Constitution, SO
that no citizen can vote unless he can
read and write, and the democratic
press is calling upon the Legislature
to prepare such an amendment for sub
mission to the people. There is prob
ably no simpler, and on the whole
more satisfactory remedy, for the Ills
from which the body polite is suffer-
ing in Mississippi.

A curious story comes by cable
from Liverpool in regard to Thomas
sen, who caused the dynamite exp!o-
sion at BTemerhaven. The gist of
this story Is that Thomassen is sup
posed to have had something to do
with the loss Of the City of Boston
six years ago. It would be a fear
tul thing if it should turn out that
this man, either alone or by the aid of
accomplices, made The destruction of

a possibility that such was the case.

ANOTHER HEAVY DEFALCATIoN is re.
ported, this time from Buffalo. City
Treasurer Bork has fled, leaving a de-
ticit of over three hundred thousand
dollars. Like many others who have
gone his road he was open handed,
and apparently open,hearted. He was
president OF thirteen societies, and
foremost in all philantbropic works.
Doubtless he thus managed to divert
suspicion from his dark doings; for
who could question the man who kept
his balance straight on paper, who had
the reputation Of great wealth, who
gave homes to the working classes
for song and was foremost in all
benevolent projects? These eases are
hard to judge without all the evi.
dence; but, whether he lent the city's
money to Others or used it in other
ways, he was sleeping himself in dis
honesty at every step, and it is pro.
verbal how difficnlt it is TO retrace
these downward steps.

THE French Assembly has finished
its work and gives place to the new

labored under greater difficulties and
none accomplished a more important

true to themselves the Assembly has

The New York 7ifbme's Washing
ton correspondent gives some interest
ing items concerning our frontier. He
speaks of the three methods proposed
for stopping the raids into Texas. He
writes as follows:
Mr.. Robb, who, as United States
Commissioner, spent two years upon
the Rio Grande border, taking testi-
mony in regard to losses caused by
Mexican raids, and who claims TO be
better acquainted with the exact char
acter of these incursions than any
army officers can possibly be, has ar.
rived in Washington for the purpose
oftestifying before the Schleicher Mex
ican-border committee. He saws that
he has heard three plans suggested
putting stop to these outrages. The
first Is that proposed by General Sheri.
dan, who says that If the government
will give him ten thousand men, with
full power to act at his discretion, he will
take charge of the border and stop in.
