Virginia was a worn-out state fifty years
ago. Its soil has been exhausted by the reck-
less cultivation of tobacco. Yet it is repre-
scented as gaining in tho last ten years more
than Nebraska or NinnesOta--both of them
new states, supporting agricultural communi-
tics and having quantities of unoccupied and
very fertile farming lands.
Tho COmier-,IOurRdl lets out part of the
secret of the alleged marvellous growth of tho
south when it says:
There were probably many mistakes committed
In the enumeration of 1870 In tho south, as the
enumerators there then were generally of a lower
order of intelligence than those now employed,
and they susceptible to tho political influence
which desired the congressional representation
nom that section to bo kept ut It's lowest figure,
That is to say, the onumerators' views aro of
q higher order of intelligence, and susceptible
to tho political influence which desires tho
congressional representation from tho south
to be kept at its highest figure" They aSe, in
fact, unscrupulous democratic politicians
forced upon President Hayes by tho demo-
cratic senate,--tho very mon who have de-
frauded the south OF its true representation in
the past by stuling the ballot.boNes or sur
rounding the polls with sholguns
These southern returns, especially those
from North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia,
are suspicious. They should be examined
The aim of the ballOtboX thieves and sluggers
is now at the rights of tho north Having
subdued tho simple negroes at home, they
think they can cheat tho white men of the
north. They will fluid that this is not so
simple thing to do. If thore hns been any
cheating it must be exposed and the returns
corrected. Tho northern people will not
submit to the loss OF their rights.

Captain L. c., Adams, in his description of

"No pen can describe the suffering OF our

Tho returns from Missouri In tho period be-
tween 1850 and 1870 were swollen by the
fraudulent addition of 10000 to $4,000 names
to the population of st. Louis. The growth Of
Texas aud Delaware is probably legitimate.
Tho gains in North Carolina which are more
remarkable than those in several states re-
ferred to by tho C.-J., have been as follows:

According to The reports, North Carolina has
gained nearly rs much III tho last ten years as
in the previous thirty years. Yet it is one Of
the poorest states In tho union. It's soil Is
sandy, and turpentinc. growing is its principal

We direct special attention to the returns
from Kentucky and Virginia. kentucky Is
reported as gaining moro in the last ten years

THE STATE TRUST FUNDS.

Nr. Editor 1t viii be remembered
that in the political campaign In Maine
in 1879, charges were made by fusion
orators, notably by the late Governor
Garcelon, that Republican administra-
tons had mismanagcd the various Trust
Funds in the custody of the State. While
some of these gentlemen had too much
good sense, and, as was then supposed.
honestly to claim that these trusts had
been fraudulently misappropriated, the
more ignorant and blatant speakers did
not refrain from even such insinuations.
But all these statements were intended
to create the impression that great irreg-
ularity had pervaded the administration
of these sacred deposits. In connection
with these statements it is quite refresh
ing to read the following in the report of
Hon. Chas. A. White. the retiring State
Treasurer:
There seems to be some misapprehen-
sion in relation TO the Trust Funds held by
the State, but II the subject is fully exam
iued. il will be found that no wrong has
been done, and that the acts and resolves
creating the same, have been fully carried
out"
In quoting the above, it gives me pleas
ure to say tina, the distinguished financial
ability and official integrity and courtesy
of the late Treasurer are appreciated by
no person more fully than by the writer.
