MORE ONO POLITICS.

We find the following fratcrnal criticism
in the Sandusky Ohio Register. Ohio
politics are becoming too abstruse for our
solution, and we give it up"
THE WAsHISGToN REPUBLICAN calls on
Secretary SHERMAN to take the Ohio stump
against EWING. Ittclls us that Nr. SHERMAN
is the only man in Ohio who is EwtNG's equal
in debate, aud that Sherman is, us stated some
time ago, in essentials Grccnbacker, holding
opinions which will satisfy the mind of any
intelligent student of American finance. As a
debatcr SHERMAN cannot hold candle to
EWING. Ewing is consistent in so far that
since he entered public life he has been a
Grecnback inlationist. SHERMAN has been
on all sides of the question, and cannot be re-
lied on to hold any given position for any
length of time. In fact, THE REPuBLiCAN
gives most excellent reason for keeping
SHERMAN out of the field, when it calls him
in all the essentials Greonbacker, a compli'
ment of so doubtful character that even
JoHN himself will object to it, Besides, Mr.
Ewing is a dcbatcr OF great personal magnet
ism aud us lively with his tongue as lNGER
soil, while SHERNtAS n hcsitates, stammers and
halts, and cannot speak without notes will

1881 our national population will exceed 46,-
100000, aud will probably be nearer 50OO0,0OO.
No Southern state save Texas and Missouri
has increased with equal ratio to the national
average, and much Of their increase has been
drawn from the other Southern States, while
the young States OF the Northwest have grown
with wonderful rapidity. Tho increase Of
population Of Kansas during the last decade
was 2iO per cent, and of Nebraska still greater
That of Texas was hut 35iS per cent. During
the present decade Kansas aud Nebraska may
not have increased quito 50 rapidly, and Texas
moro so; but taking the different sections Of
the country together, any observant student of
tho last aud previous euumorltons must con-
cludo that, Us a rule, the ratio of increase dur
lug the last decade will hold good during the
present one. No faircr or more accurate basis
can be found for the calculation Of tho proba.
BILE results of the census Of 1850. Taking this
rs our guide, therefore, but restricting It's OPP
Grafton somewhat as to Illinois, Minnesota,
and Kansas and giving the benefit Of that re.
strctiOn to an increase IN Texas and West
Virginia beyond the former ratio the result is
seen in the following table:

about LAMAR and CHALMERS and their
usual regard for truth but this much we
know of SING LEToN, no lie was ever yet in-
vented too ponderous for him to use ii 1t
answered his unprincipled purpose to hurl
against n political opponent toward whom
he harborcd feelings OF malice. Conscience
throws no safeguard between him and the
uttCrlnce of brnzen fllsehood against n
neighbor if his evil disposition prompts the
act However, there are honest men
in Mississippi, who freely and voluntarily
admit that luwlcSsness in the shape of bull
doing is no longer myth, and that they
are determined to break it mp at all ha2-
ards, even if it requires the formation of
military companies to accomplish that end
When bull-dozing ceases and every citizen
in that State is respected in his constitu-
tional rights, Mississippi will take up step
to the mueic of equal rights before the law
and move on in the highway of advance
ment and prosperity, and not until then.
1t looks a little peculiar while the South
ern Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress are inveighing at the top of their
voices against "bayonet rule' to find their
constituents threatening TO resort to that
rule on their own account, If needs be, to
suppress bull-dozing, which has been the
favorite pastime Of that section of the coun-
try. Verify, the world does move.
