Census Chieanery.
CHARLESTON, S. C., Aug. 19.-The ut
teranccs of Senator NJ. G. Butler and Gen.
J. D. Kennedy, and the publications in
the News and Courier, showing an in
crease of 50 per cent. in the population
in South Carolina, were not biased upon
inaccurate estimates of the result Of the
enumerators' work, - nor were they made
upon returns from counties containing
large cities" as superintendent Walker
mildly suggests in the dispatch publish
ed in the Times. They rest upon the of
fetal returns of the enumeratorS, and
the alleged increase in agricultural dis
tricts only Charleston, so far as popu-
lation il concerned is actually the only
CITY in South Carolina. 1t is the bust
ness center, and if any increase really
existed in the state II would show
itself here. In 1870 the inhabitants of
Charleston numbered 1886, and the
census lust completed, according to the
News and COurier's figures, shows a
population of 40 800, an increase of Ia
per cent. 1t also shows that the whites
| increased 256, and a decrease OF 2l3
| among the colored inhabitants. This
| would bear out the repeatedly expressed
| belief that the mortality among the col
ored people in the south surpasses the
| frequency of births. Outside Of the
limits of the city, where they were
no longer under public sur
veiliance. the enumerators were more
Al. L.
| discovered humanity. Among the
swamps. farms, and miasmatic Islands
! belonging TO Charleston county, where it
| is almost impossible for white people to
| live during the summer months, they
| found an increase of 1000, or nearly
| 40 per cent over the population in the
same places in 1870. The News and
| Courier admits that several of the other
/ counties will show an increase of nearly
40 per cent. What better proof docs
Superintendent Walker need that the
enumerators and supervisors committed
frauds. He probably does and ought to
know that South Carolina has not bene-
fitted by immigration; that many of the
young white men have left the state to
seek employment in the northern and
western states, and that many colOred
people have emigrated to states where
they are allowed to enjoy the rights OF
citizenship. Where, then, does this I'M
mense increase come from? 1t will
proba Sly surprise no one to hear that the
Republicans of this state have no conf
dence in Gen. Walker. They consider
him one of that class ofsO-called Repub
licans who are responsible for their pres
ent misfortuncs, and from whose friend
ly offices they desire TO be relieved a
the earliest moment possible.
