A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sttn from
Cumberland, No, says: The connection OF the
name OF a Maryland presidential elector with
the Lindsey O'Brfen perjury In New York has
aroused the greatest excitement IN this section
CT the country. When the fact was published
by the Washington Post that there was man
In Cumberland named Robert Lindsey who
knew something about the Chinese letter. Mr.
Price complied with request from New York
10 advertise for him. This, it is believed, was
done at the instance OF the democratic national
committee. but it Is claimed they had nothing
further to do with the matter. The Truth
newspaper followed t up. A representative OF
that paper came here and found the man
O'Brien, who attempted to pass himself of as
Lindsey.
Price admits he drew up the affidavit and read
1t over to the man. who came to him for that
purpose. He never sent for O'Br1en to come to
Cumberland; never knew O'Brien; don't know
anything about his past history, and according
to descriptions OF him don't know that he ever
saw O'Brien. Mr.. Price says his skirts VIII be
cleared of all blame. and that he was In the
matter only as chairman OF the state central
committee for Allegany. and In that capacity
simply forwarded the affidav1t TO the chairman
of the democratic national committee.

How tho Principle Worked.


Gen. Chester A. Arthur, in his letter Of
acceptance, says, in abiding to the Re-
publican platform;
"The resolution referring to the public SER
vice seems to me deserving OF approval
Surely no man should be the incumbent Of an
Office the duties Of which he is for any cause
unit to perform who is lacking in ability,
fidelity or integrity, which proper admins
tration Of such office demands
Gen. Arthur was removed from the col
lectorship Of the port Of New York in the
winter of 1879, and the following are ex-
tracts from letters to Gen. Arthur from
Mr.. Hayes aud Secretary Sherman, con-
cerning the reasons for removal, which
show how the principle laid down by Gen,
Arthur works when put Into practice
You have made the custom-house centre
Of partisan political management.-R. ~

Effect Of the Census on Congressional
Representation.

II is estimated that under the returns OF the
present censns the next House will have 8Ol
members. Cuder the present rate Of nppor'
tionment itwouldb be entitled TO more, but since
there is a disposition to reduce rather than
increase the size Of the House-it has now
2g3 members--ii is safe 10 say that the rate
will be increased sufficiently to keep the mem.
bership as low as the number given. The
present estimate ofthe population, A., I67, 40I,
would raise the quota Of population for each
member TO 1863, S5s. The effect of that woald
be with reference to New York, as reported
by the ennmerators, to lessen the number Of
Representatives from 80 10 50. PenHsylya-
MIA would drop FROM q 10 20; Chic would
lose one, making her representation 10 against
20 now; Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont each /, aud Indiana, Alabama and Ten
nessee each La total loss Of 10. Minnesots
and Nebraska would each gain ,, Kansas
Texas 4, and Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky
Virginia, West Virginia aud California each
la total gain Of IL. The other States woult
neiiher gain nor lose. Placing the gains o
Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Michigan ant
California, IN all ., against the losses Of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont and Indiana, in all 8, it woui,
leave for the North aud West net gain of l
Placing the gains Of Texas, Missouri, Ken
lucky, Virginia aud West Virginia. in all 8
! against the losses Of Alabama and Tennessee
each / it would leave the South net gain 0
/ o and give the House 3Ol members. Carry
4 ing this comparison to cover the pressn
political status Of the States named, and omit
| ting New York and Indiana as doubtful, tli
States ordinarily classed as Republican woul
have a net gain Of 4, aud those classed a
Democratic a net gain OF 6. This nigh, no
mean an increase in the Democratic majority
forsoiar from lhatihat majority might be wipe,
out in spite Of the showing, but Il would inca
simply that the States now considered Demo
cratic would gain more members than thos
now considered Republican.

The Census in South Carolina,

The New York Times renews the discussion
Of the alleged ''eensus conspiracy IN the
shape ofan elaborate letter from Washington,
pretending TO analyze the ceusus returns from
South Carolina, aud TO detect "a remarkable
increase in population which cannot be hon
esty accounted for. - This letter, which, on
being examined, is less formidable than II
looks. IS backed by an editorial article 10 the
general effect that the figures make it evident
that large part of the increase Of population
SIS to be iaihered upon these appointees Of
Senator Buffers, the census supervisors, and
that its object is to increase Southern repre-
sentation in Congress" IL happens that the
data exist by which TO prick this little impos'
thume which the Times has been nursing. lt
compares the census returns OF 1880, $500 and
1870 with those Of 1850 for South carolina,
aud upon the basis Of these figures claims that
the estimated increase Of ~ per cent. IA the
population Of that State during the last decade
must be fraudulent. As has been said, esti'
mates are very uncertain data TO 90 upon,
but, let US assume that those given by the
Charleston papers are measuably accurate.
What do they prove? Not by any means that
the census OF 1880 has been iraudulently
swelled, but that the census Of 1870 was badly
taken aud conspicuous for its negligence aud
its omissions. This indeed Gen. Walker has
admitted But it is confirmed, it not proved,
| by some statistics which the Times, with con-
| spicuous uniairness, has LETT entirely out Of
| its calculations, aud indeed makes no allusiou
/ to whatever This is the State census OF South
| Carolina, taken under republican auspices IN
| 1915, when Chamberlain was Governor and
/ the entire machinery Of the State government
was under his control. Admitting these Ia
bles into the computation We get entirely IN
telligibie results, The population of the
State by the census Of 1870 was CSC, l23i by
| the estimated returns for 1880 It Is 9sl, 402
showing an estimated increase Of 2o5, 30 OF
[ 40 per cent for the decade. This, as naked
4 fact, undoubtedly looks very large. But th'
/ Chamberlain census of 1874, which the Time
| will hardly attempt to discredt, gives popu
| latiOn Of 925, l45, showing an increase ia .bc'
| years Of "a per cent, whereas in the tive year
I since 1875 the increase ion the basis OF thu
estimated returnsl has been only per cent
/ What do these figures prove, il they Prov
anything al all DO they prove that Gov
4 Chamberlain ia 1915, in common with Sena
tor Butler and chairman Kennedy III 1880
deliberately eouspired To sophisicate th'
census Sin order TO increase Southern repre-
senia,ion ia Congress ~ Or do they prov
that, as Gen. Walker freely admits, the cen
sus Of 1870 Of that State was loosely and bad
ly taken, and conspicuous for its omission
