WASHINGTON, October 10. It is noticed
here, by those who have interested them-
selves in the movements Of population,
that the States which have grown most
rapidly during the past ten years are Re-
publican. The State censuses, taken in
1875 by several of the States, and the vote
since that time, show that Kansas and
Nebraska are taking the lead in growth.
The increase in Nebraska from 1870 TO
1875 was at the enormous rate OF 2l8 per
cent in ten years, in growth almost un.
equaled in the history OF the American
States. Next TO Kansas a rapid growth
comes Minnesota and Colorado, staunch
Republican States. The increase of polit.
icaI power that will be awarded to these
States alter the appOrtionment OF 1881 will
be very great, condition OF things which
is not very comforting to the Democrats,
who do not desire to see the seat OF politi-
cal power transferred to the stalwart
Northwest. In speaking OF this matter to
your correspondent the other day, a
leading Democrat remarked that while it
was true that the seat Of empire was going
TO the Northwest, and that oil these States
were Republican, yet there was at least
one state which was growing with great
rapidity, and which was reliably Demo-
cratic. He referred to Texas, and pre-.
dicted that this State would have two mil
lions ofinhabitants next year, and be en-
titled 10 about fourteen members OF Con-
gress after the next apportionment. But
the vote oil Texas does not snow as large
per cent OF increase as has taken place in
many OF the Northwestern States. The
vote Of Texas indicates a population Of
about 100000, an increase OF fifty per
cent over 1870, which is very large, but
not equal to some of the Northwestern
States. tits computed from the vote OF
the several counties that the census next
year will show Texas to have between l.
100000 and 100000 population, and
Kansas about 100000 Texas enjoys the
distinction Of being the only reliably
Democratic State that is growing with
rapidity.

New YORK, October l5.-The election
news, more especially the loss OF Thur
mans seat in the Senate, reversed the
hour.g!ass today, and changed the conun-
drum. The Republicans held q crowded
mass meeting at the Cooper Institute,
where Edward Pierrepont mentioned the
name Of Grant in his speech, and it elicit
ed ten minutes Of cheers, applause and
enthusiasm. President Hayes was also
cordially but not warmly cheered. 1t
was to all intents Grant ratification
meeting, made so by the audience.
This afternoon Governor Lucius Robin
son. riding alone in barouohe, followed
by brilliant staff, reviewed from plat
form before the Fifth Avenue Hotel the
whole Of the First Division OF militia, in
cuding about ten regiments with cavalry
and batteries, The Governor was very
sober and serious, and there was small
applause. John Bigelow, at the new Rob-
inson headquarters in the st. james Ho-
tel, also looked discouraged for the first
time. sa

sell, but he supplies q rallying point for
all the anti!Tilden element, which is very
large. Homer A. Nelson, late Democratic
Secretary Of State, said to-day that Kelly
would have 5000 votes in New York City,
and nearly 10000 in the State. Bets are
being offered that Kelly's vote will be S0,-
OO Some put It as high as 100000. Ex.
Speaker James Husted says Cornell will
beat both Democratic tickets 10000 votes.
1t is not thought here that the Ohio
election helps Tilden, because it has es-
sisted to reduce Robinson's 8 chances, hom
IlIden insisted on pressing to the loss Of
the State. Tilden is reported to be great
ly discouraged. Still, Ii is believed that
all the Democratic ticket below Robinson
can be saved, but this loss sacrifices the
valuable Gubernatorial patronage. Ker-
mans seat in the Senate, too, is probably
imperilled.
Most Of the Democrats here ascribe
their i'll luck to the immodesty OF the
Southern element in Congress, and the
aIgressiOns Of Tilden, Robinson and Coop
erupon the New York City Democracy.

U. s.. SUPREME COURT.

Still Trying the Virginia Judges Cases.
WASHINGTON, October 1O.-Supreme
Court, No. 4, original; ex.parte. The
Commonwealth OF Virgins. VS.. J. D. Coles,
petitioners. The argument was begun by
James G. Field, Attorney General of Vir.
ginia, for petitioners, and continued by
Assistant Attorney General Smith in op.
position to the petitioners. This cause,
like the preceding one OF the Common
wealth OF Virginia against Rives, involves
the question OF colored jurors and the le.
gality OF the action OF the Virginia State
Judges in excluding negroes from jury
lists. ]. D. Cole, County Court Judge OF
Pittsylvania county, Virginia, was indiCt-
ed in the District Court OF the United
States for the Western District Of that
State for alleged unlawful discrimination
against qualified colored citizens in the Sc.
lection Of grand and petit Jurors to serve
in his court. He was arrested by U. s.
Marshal last March and held to answer in
the U. S. District Court at Danville, Va.
He now brings his case before this court
on petitions for writs OF habeas corpus and
certiorari, on the ground that his arrest
was in violation OF the Constitution OF the
United States aud the sovereign rights OF
the Commonwealth OF Virginia. The case
was partly argued and continued until to.
morrow. Ten or twelve other State Court
Judges were indicted in the o. S. District
Court for the same ofFense with which
Judge Coles is charged, and their cases
will be decided by the opinion Of this
court in the present case.

Ex-senator Corbitt welcomed the distin.

Strong in most hearty manner.
Grant responded at some length, aIlud.
ing to his early residence and acquaint-
once on the Pacific coast. He concluded:
''In your remarks you have alluded to the
struggles OF the past. l am glad they are
at an end. 1t never was pleasure that
they had beginning. The result has left
US Nation to be proud OF, strong at home
and respected abroad. Our reputation
has extended beyond theCivilized nations
1t has penetrated even the less civilized
ports OF the earth. In my travels have
noticed that Foreign nations appear 10
respectus more than we respect ourselves
L have noticed the grandeur at which
we have been estimated by other powers,
and their judgments should give us q
higher estimate Of our greatness. They
recognize that poverty, as they under
stand it, is not known with US, and the
men Of comparative aifluence with them
are sometimes no better clad nor fed than
our paupers. No where are there better
elements OF success than on the Pacific
coast. Here, those who fought on the
opposite side during the war are now
fully associated together in a county ol
which they all have the same right TO be
proud. Ithank the people again through
you, Judge Strong, for this reception.
At the conclusion, Grant was presented
10 the citizens. He remained at the pa,
