We are in the habit Of sympsthising with
the Indians q general principles since it has
been generally supposed that the race was
fast dying out-and We could afford to talk
q little soft. An examination of of6cisl
statistics ct Washington, however, has de-
veloped the curious fact that the Indians are
not diminishing in number, Is has generally
been believed, but are really and eensibly
increasing. This fact has been established
through an investigation ordered BY the
commissioner Of Indian affairs and conducted
BY DIR. George Kellogg, . medical attache Of
the Indian bureau. The ratio of increase in
the Indian population il not yet decided,
but statistics gathered from more than seven
Indian agencies indisputsbly assert that the
births among the Indian tribes are in excess
Of the deaths among them from normal
causes, and this, too, when allowance is made
for their destruction BY dissipation and all
ordinary causes of death, except Casualties
in warfare. The Indian population is set

The crime which seems TO he now ripe for
avowal in Maine viii make the most painful
impression all over the Northern States.
When THE TRIBUNE fist disclosed the pot,
more than month ago. the plan for count
ing out the Republican legislators was thought
to be too moustrous for belief. The majority
was so large, the sentiment of the people Of
Milne was 80 well understood, that the out
side public insisted the Maine Republicans
were alarmed without cause. The Governor
and his companions would not contemplate
such barefaced injustice. Even the Demo-
cratic newspapers, outside of the State OF
Maine, were at first incredulOus. One
of them in New-York rdiculed the idea
that a Democratic Returning Board would
''cook returns" and declared that If the
Democrats OF Maine were to count out the
Republicans they would be doing what Kel-
"logg's men. assisted by Secretary Sherman,
" Mr. StOughtOn and the other visiting states
"men cid at New-0rleans three years ago.
AS the action of the Louisiana Board has al
ways been denounced 10y this paper as one of
the greatest crimes of the century, the journal
i'm question in declaring the case in Maine to
be- exactly parallel committed itself to the
most strenuous disapprOval of Governor Gar
cclon's course; and indeed it did imply, in
the same article, that although Republicans
might have no night to complain If they
were cheated, the Democrats were quite inca
pable Of approving any such rascality.
4 few days later, having perhaps received
certain information. the NewYork Demo
cratic organ changed its tone. 1acitly adj
hitting the fraud, it had the shameless au-
dacity to say Is il not asking little too
- much of good nature 10 demand that the
" DemOcr Is shall always submit to he counted
"out and be prevented from counting in ?'
No other apology is offered for the outrage
than this. 1t is the plea of the thief: So
"ciety is corrupt; dishonesty prevails in good
" society therefore, | will steal. and if any
"body calls Inc thief. | answer, You're
"another.'" For three years the Democratic
press aud Democratic politicians have been ly-
ing atrocIously about The action of the Southern
State Returning Boards in 1876, and feign-
ing to be shocked at their alleged usurpa-
tons III reversing the pretended verdict of
the polls. AT last a Democratic Board of
" Shall we always submit TO be counted out"
say they, land be prevented from counting

Republican majority disappears.
There Is an essential difference between the
cases of 1876 and the case of 1879. The
laws of the disputed Southern States not only
empowered, but strictly commanded tho Can

vassers 20 throw out the votes OF all
precincts in which the freedom OF the
election had been disturbed by acts OF
violence or intimidation. 1t was dan
gerOus discretion to inrUlst to the Board
but the systematic attempts Of the Democrats
to suppress the colorcd vote made snca Il pro-
vision necessary for the freedmahs protec-
ton. There can be no question whatever that
the Boards acted within their authority. Inc
only dispute Is over the facts OF such ne
gree of violence and fraud in particular dls-
tricts as would morally justify the exercise oi
the discretion which the law reposed III the
Canvassers. Ii is not to the point to continue
the discussion of the Louisiana bulldozing
now; candid men who have read the testl-
mo,v in the case are pretty well agreed that
the decision Of the Board was not only au-
thorzed by the law but fully warranted
by the facts. The consideration we ask our
readers TO bear in mind Is that the rejected
votes of 1876 were not discarded on account
of technical errors, but in obedience To law
which declared that najorities obtained lay
force and terrorism should not be reckoned as
an expression of the popular VIII. In Name IL
is far otherwise. There no such extensive
discretion has ever been intrusted to the Can-
vasscrs The law does not assume that cleo
tions can be vitiated by terrorism IN a iree
white community. and it requires the Governor
and Council TO issue certificates TO the persons
who appear 10 have been elected by the face
of the returns. Under certain restrictions the
town clerks or other local officers may be,
and heretofore have been, required to correct
paIpabe c1rors aud informalites by the pre-
cinct returns But the Democratic state Can
vasSrrS low refuse TO permit the customary
correction by the town records (Which M re-
atty is simply "A rcrifcdtioR Of the names and
figues) and, usnrping the power 10 90 behind
the returns, proceed. on the prcteXt al vari-
Gus frivolous informalities and clerical errors,
to count out enough OF the memhors-elect to
give their party heavy majority in both
branches of the Legislature and 50 insure the
Inauguration of Governor against whom
the people have cast plurality of 10000
votes. Perhaps even greater Iascaity Is yet
to core.
The Republican party in the long run must
be gamer by this transaction. There IS
not a State in the North III which the story
of tho Maine usurpation will not he read with
shame on the one side. with indignation on
the other; and no man who values the ballot
and who is not blinded by intense partisan
prejudice will fail to sec in the action OF
Governor Garcclon and his Council a fresh
re ,son 10 detcst the Democracy. At all times
and in all parts of the Union the record OF
tat party has been the same. IL has never

questions upon which wide difference of Opin-

The Seventh Annual Meeting Of the American
Public Health Association vas held IN Nashville.
Team. November Il. the leading subjects ior
discussion were the sanitary condition Of cities
aid towns especially those of the Southern States,
and practical questions connected with tie man-
agement oi an actual or threatened ont
break If yellow fever An ANIMAL recurrence of tie
yellow lever epidemic would be disTace.ul. since
nothing IS better settled than the poe-iblit, Of
lratnr If not entirely preventing s., ravagc.. Il
was hoped that the me beers OF the ASSOCIATION
would be aoic To come to some substantial agree
ment, especially upon the quarantine question,
which Is IN by no means satisfactory posi-
ton There were, also, the subjects OF
dsiniectants, of depopulation of inland quar-
antinc, OF steamboat inspection. of drain
age and sewerage. of State and National
boards Of Health. upon which it was desirable that
some light should be sned even if no conclusion
unanimously reached.
The outcome Of most sanitary conventions here
rofore has not been such as to encourage
the public mind, OF to set the public yea
20 work in desirable directions. There has been n
vast deal of debate and ot ingenious speculation,
but no particularly desirable end seems to have
been gained. The problem Of protection and pre-
venti)n does not appear to be one which medical
science should find iusonbe, or upon which sci
more suggestions are simpcd the more likely they
will be to receive attention; and this Is a matter
rot only # hfe and death, but of greet deal of
money. we are not without hope that m some near
uture the blunders and negligence Of the past may
be avoided. At present. however, We are obi ged to
say that the American Public Health Association at
IFS late meeting does not appear 70 have come to
amy novel conclusions. or even to have made any
vsluqhle suggcs ions. Congress was appealed 20 TO
"nppropriate sufficient funds to enable tie Ma
tiona Board OF Health to employ the best talent
and apparatus in scent &c ard practical mquirics.'
OtherwI-e the American Public Health Association
does not appear to have had any suggestions To make
except one that International Health Cougres
IN git be useful, and that q quarantine stat on at
the mouth of the Mississippi River is desirable.
There was resolution passed comphmenting tie
National Boar OF Health; but really II was hardly
worth while 10 hold convention for thai purpose.
Upon the whole. the mtefing does not seem 10
have amounted 10 much, aud we are thrown back.
20 lar as the emergencies of next summer con-
cerned upon the protective and precautionary
action OF the National Board OF Health.
