The Mueh Abused Sonlh.

Courier-Journal.l
The Cincinnati Gazette, the other
day, apologized for its innumerable
lies about the South, and admitted
that for some years, for political pur-
poses, it had practiced a system of
studied Misrepresentation of the
southern people.
Hitherto the Gazette has repre-
scented all the country lying south of
the Ohio to the Gulf Of Mexico as
floating in the gore Of slaughtered
white and black republicans who
possess the curious faculty of rising
from the dead to be slaughtered
again and again by the south
ern whites who have been
habitually represented by the
Gazette as 2 fierce race of barbarians,
armed with long knives, t~omahawks'
shot guns and revolyers, killing every
northern man who ypntured into their
territory, destroying all attempts at
commerce and education and reducing
twelve states to the condition of an
arid waste, red with the accumulated
blood Of victims innumerable. The
Gazette, which is a fair sample Of the
spirit Of the republican press. has
beer. very particular to set forth be-
fore its readers statements 10 the az
feet that the "barbarous south" pro.
duces nothing, contributes nothing to
the support of the government.
The Gazette now comes out and adj
mits that in making these statements
and in printing the campaign eireu.
lars of John Sherman with reference
to the south, it lied for political pur
poses. The Gazet.e's Cincinnati sub
scribers, who have all along applauded
its infamous and beastly assaults upon
southern men and women, have dis
covered that the southern merchants
who are their customers, find other
cities where they can buy their goods
better and cheaper than in Cincinnati
and that they prefer to buy where
they will not be ~sbamefllly assailed as
robbers and assassins by the very mon
who want to sell them goods. Just
how the Gazette has been compelled
to back down from its former position
as an ayowed slanderer and defamer
Of the southern people, may be seen
in the following extracts. a few DAYS
ago that foul paper declared that tho
south produced nothing" and was
barren pauper section" The Gazette
now says:
An lncreasingproductio Of cotton,
which has reached between five and
sig million bales, is the great indus.
trial fact of the late slave states. OF
itself it is a colossal industry. and it
implies a multiplicity of varied in.
dustries, all Of which are growing to
a more important relation than in the
south they had before the war; for the
production Of food aud other neoes
saries for the laborer, and of articles
of general subsistence, has increased
In the cotton-growing states to a larger
proportion, compared with the cotton
product, than in the time Of slavery"
The deacon in effect says: Gentle
men | have been lying for a long
time about you, aud have utterly mis-.
represented your states when | said
they were barren, and inhabited by a
horde Of barbarians who were too idle
and vicious to wgrk.'

THE 5 REPORT
An Effort 90 be Made 10 Have ID
Presented 60 Congress.

WASHINGTON, October H.-The
superintendent Of the census is said to
have determined TO have the census
returns ready TO be submitted at this
session Of congress, so that an ap-
pointment can now be made if it is de-
sired. A census has never been re-
ported to congress at SO early a date.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the democrats to act upon
the census this winter, and the fol-
lowing argument is urged By them:
One great advantage if this will be
the opportunity afforded for the new
ap%portionment of members Of the
house Of representatives, to be made
this winter, and in that event the
election of members by districts under
the new apportionment can take
place in all the states in Novem-
Der, 1882. If tho statistics of popu-
lation are not completed in time for
the present congress to prescribe
the ratio of representation, many Of
the states would have to elect at large
for the whole state any additional rep
resentatives to which they may be en-
titled. If any of the states, as is, Of
course, to be expected, should suffer a
diminution in the number Of their
representatives, it would be somewhat
awkward to regulate the election of
1852 in the absence Of a meeting of
the legislature, unless congress
should authorize them to hold
on to their present number of mem
bers. After congress fixes the ratio
of representation, the state legisla-
lures have to make the apportionment
of districts for their respective states.
As the next congress will not, under
ordinary circumstances, meet until
December, 1881, if the ratio Of repre-
sentatiOn is left to them to fix, it would
necessarily postpone the election by
districts Of many of the additional rep
resentatives until 1884, as various
state legislatures would not be in SEES.
sion during the period clapsing be.
tween the action Of congress and the
November election of 1882.
While, as stated, the bureau will
make every effort to have the returns
complete for the action of this con-
/ gress, it is not certain that it can be
accomplished. There is a great deal
Of delay in receiving v%arions items Of
information necessary to secure, as far
as may be, a correct enumeration.
