Thirty years ago, even less, millionaire was of some consequence in this country, but now 8 man worth no more than a million is not very rich, comparatively speaking. The New York correspondent of the Hart ford Tunes thus writes of some of the rich men of New York The boss millionaire, so to speak, is, of course, Mir. Vanderbilt, who can count at least $1OO, GOO, 900 that is all his own. There was time when this same Mir. Vanderbilt applied in vain to his father for 8 few hundred dollars to pay off a mortgage on a farm he was working on Staten Island. Jay Gould is following him up pret- ty fast. People are not in the habit of giving Gould much credit for anything, but he is at least entitled to the credit of having made all his money him. self. He is believed to be worth about $50,- GOO, ,OOS now, and there are men in Wall street who believe he will yet oyertake Van derbilt. The recognized head of the Astor family is worth not less than $50, GOO, 900 in his own right, and the aggregate wealth of the family, counting it's several branches, would probably turn $1O0,OOO,O 1000. James R. Keene who came here from California, not very long ago, to teach Wall street some new tricks, is thought to be worth SIC, OOo,- 900. Ex-Governor Morgan is considered good for the same amount, and has made most of it in Wall street since he retired from Albany. The figure usually credited to Will liam E. Dodge is $5.Oo0,O00. There are score of others rated from that down to $2,- 100000, and more than another score worth l.1 them all but knows how to take care of his money. I could name two or three who are downright misers, never parting with single dollar till they know they have received it's full value in return.

A QUESTION.

The regular Democratic" nominee for Mayor is, as he is said to be by the Register, "a quiet, modest, reliable and accomplished citizen" We also agree with the Register's statement that if elected he will bring integ- risy, capacity and fidelity to the office of Mayor. But it is more than suspected that he will also bring to the office of Mayor not a little of the influence of William R. Shelton. MT. Shelton was active in his efforts to help Dr. Robertson get the nomination, and it is stated that he has been busy during the past few days in planning the distribution of offices in case Dr. Robertson is elected. If this is true the question arises, Do we want MT. Shelton for Mayor?

Unusual at this Season.


 T. Sweeping reductions on large quanti- ty of Dress Goods. These have been put into three lots at 25c, soc and 75c. In the 75c lot are some immense bargains, and all are away far below their market value.
 Very Acceptable Bargains.
 II. We have had all this season the best and cheapest lot of CLOAKINGS in the city. We have just gone through them, and re- duced the price of all short lengths, making a lot of splendid bargains for those wanting material for misses and children's cloaks, jackets or overcoats.
 Important.
 III. We have just closed out an import CTS stock of Cloaks at a very large reduc- tion. They are all very superior garments, of this seasons importation from Europe, in the latest styles, and beautifully gotten up. It is pretty large lot, and we want to run them off if possible before Christmas. We have therefore been careful to mark them with prices which we think will ensure that end. Since we opened them on Friday we have made good progress, and ladies desiring to secure garments of superior style at prices less than are charged for ordinary domestic goods, should come soon, before the best pat terms are gone.
 What is Wanted. ". Our stock of Knitted Goods for la dies and children is now full and varied. | Jackets Hoods Nubias, Clouds, Fascinators, | Mitts, Leggins, &c.
 Good Trade. V. We are doing very brisk trade in La dies and Childrens Underwear. The reason undoubtedly is that have better stock | and charge less than other dealers. The pub lie very soon find out where the best value is l

 From the work already completed in the census office the gain in population is shown to be 21.4 per cent. A corresponding gain throughout the country would make the pop ulation about 47,OOO, GOO, but as the calcula- tion is based upon the returns from the East ern and slower growing States, the propor- tion of increase will be somewhat larger and it is guessed that the total will be almost ex- actly 5O,OOO,0OO. There are eight entire States yet to be completed in the tabulation.
 The friends of the wronged Poncas are re- joicing over the decision in their favor by Judge Dundy, of the United States court for the circuit of Nebraska. The following is Judge Dundy's decision in form:
 This cause coming on to be heard and hav- ing been submitted to the court without the intervention of jury, and the court being fully advised in the premises, finds that the Ponca tribe of Indians, plaintiffs, have legal estate in and are entitled to the possession of the real property described in the petition, and that the Sioux nation of Indians unIaw- fully keep it (the Ponca tribe of Indians) out of the possession of the same, and the court so assess the damage of the plaintiff by reason of the premises at the sum of one dollar. It is, therefore, considered by the court that the plaintiff recover from the defendant the real property described in the petition--to wit: All the islands lying in the Niobrara river and south of the middle of the main channel, etc., and within the district and State of Nebraska, and also one dollar, its damages, together with the cost of this action.
 This in principle decides the matter as re- spects all the lands of the disputed reservation, and the cause in pleading for the disposses- sion of the Sioux from that portion of the Ponca reservation lying within the territory of Dakota.

Democratic Impudence.

We have seen it stated in several Democrat
ic papers, recently, that there were more Dem
ocratic Union soldiers than Republican in the
late war, and one paper even asserts that there
were more Democratic soldiers than
Republican from Vermont. They make
this statement knowing that it is. not true, but
believing that there's no established data from
which its falsehood can be proved. We are
willing to concede that there were a good many
Democratic Union soldiers in the war, and are
willing to accord them due honor, and we
should never have written this statement but
to disprove assertions made by the other side.
There were a great many strong Union men
among the Democrats during the war, and it
would have been very hard to have sustained
the Union without them, but the sympathies
of the party, as party, were opposed to the
Union, Even as late as 1864, when the rebel
lion was almost crushed out they resolved in
national convention that the war was a failure
and demanded that hostilites should cease.
But to return to their assertion in regard to
the number of soldiers furnished by them,
there are figures to show the proportion in
some of the States. Several States believed
that the soldiers while in the field should not
be deprived of their privileges as citizens and
passed laws giving them the right to vote
wherever they could be reached, and we give
the result of this vote:

OVER THIRTY LIVES SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN LOST.

DETROIT, Aug 30.-There is little news
from the wreck of the Marine City. The boat
has f1oated ashore but is burned to the water
edge. The latest statements are that books
and papers were lost so that the work of ascer-
tanning how many were lost will be difficult.
1t is estimated that there were 100 passengers
and a crew of 40 on board. About 100 were
saved and the rest are feared TO have been
lost. Three bodies have been recovered. The
proximity of the boat to the life saving station
at Sturgeon Point, of the two tugs, the cool
ness of Capt. Conner and his crew of the burn
ed steamer and the fact that it was daylight
all aided in rendering the loss of life COM
paratively small as it is now hoped.
Captain Conner, of the burned steamer Ma
rine City, telegraphs that as near as he can as
certain six passengers and two after crew were
lost. 1t is impossible to accurately determine
the number of passengers as the trip slip is
lost.
