SINCE the defeat OF France al
Sedan We have been inclined to
look at the German Empire as one
of immense size and strength; yet
this formidable military power is
not SO populous as the United
States. From the census taken
last December, as we learn from an
exchange, we find the population
to have been 42,727,844. This
shows an increase of about one pei
cent. over the census of 1870-be-
fore the war with France.

SOME months since the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. upon the authority
of youth named Julius Mailhouse,
charged Isaac s. Allen, Agent Of the
San Fran cisco Benevolent Associa-
ton, with the crime of having Sc
duced one Rosa Mailhouse, reputed
sister of the youth, and with having
attempted to produce an abortion
on the person of the girl, to conceal
the crime. These charges were the
subject of investigation by the late
grand jury. The girl appeared be-
fore them and told her story. Charles
De Young also appeared In the
character Of witness or prosecutor.
A thorough investigation was had,
and the result was the vindication of
Mr.. Allen, and the indictment of the
girl, Rosa Mailhouse, her mother, Mrs.
Nathan, and Julius Mallhouse, for a
conspiracy to extort money from Mr.
Allen by falsely charging him with
having seduced the girl, well know
ing the same to be false, and that the
said Isaac s. Allen was not guilty OF
the same.

kOUTH CAROLINA AND LOU
ISIANA.

The dispatches announce that .
new plan for settling the dispute
between the dual Governors Of
South Carolina and Louisiana has
been talked of at Washington fol
some days. The proposal was fir''
given publicity by Senator Patter'
sou Of the former State, and the
assent of the President has been
claimed by some. but we have moi
vet found any avowal on his part
The propositions is that the present
claimants resign and submit the
whole question to the arbitramen'
of a new election. The plan does
not meet general approval BY any
means; hardly enough. in fact, to
warrant its very serious copsidera'
ton.
II seems that some negotiations
have been in progress. and it Is
learned that Governor Chamber lain
Of South Carolina is willing to re-
sieu in favor OF Hampton il he re-
ceives some good appointment
and is reimbursed $lOO,OOO ex-
pended in the canvass, but Packard
of Louisiana insists that he IS the
rightful Governor and must be sus-
tanned by the Federal Government.
This altitude is the probable cause
Of the proposal to again submit the
matter to the people for settlement,
10 relieve the President of delicate
duty.
The tenure of Governor Chamber
lain does not seem so we'll founded
as that Of Packard, the courts hav.
ing decided that Hampton is the
legal Governor, and 80 far as We
can iudge, this decision accords
With the will of the people. Thus
,tappears that it would be unjust
10 again put that state to the ex-
pense of a new election, with all its
attendant excitement. After SO
MANY months of unquiet and un-
certainty the people need relief
from further turmoil aud time to
restore their more or less Frustrated
business interests, and Q better
feeling than now exists. We be-
lieye the President takes this view
OF the case.
Against Packard's claim there has
been no adverse decision by the
courts; he holds by the action Of
the Returning Board, and is more
fully in possession of the State
government than Chamberlain. but
we are led to believe that the people
of the State prefer Nichols for
Governor. A letter from Hon.
Stanley Matthews to Packard in
relation to his government, lately
published, says: II am Of the opin-
ion that circumstances are such that
it will be out of the question for q
Republican Administration to MUM
tain it, as it must necessarily be
by force Of Federal arms. As soon
as the existing military orders are
withdrawn the Nichols Govern
ment will become the only ex-
listing Government and will have
to be recognized then as such. "
This is supposed by some to reflect
the Presidents views. On Thurs
day Pinchback visited the White
House in behalf of the Nichols
Government, and the President is
reportsd to have replied that he
would soon clear the way to peace
in Louisiana. SO it seems probable
that Nichols will be recognized.
Latest dispatches say that Pack
ard is aruing to SUSTAIN himself il
the troops are withdrawn, and ex-
citing events are expected within a
