The Population of Wisconsin.

The STATE JOURNAL having finally re-
ceived the official returns from the delin-
quent census districts, is now enabled to
present the following complete exhibit
of the population of Wisconsin by coun-
ties. The figures given are in some in
stances those filed by the enumerators
with the county clerks, but in most cases
are those finally vouched for by the Su-
pervisors of the Census, themselves; as
in former censuses, the corrected report,
as it will emanate from Washington, will
differ from that supposed to be official
from being formally filed with the State
and county authorities this is owing to
the petty corrections which are allowable
up to the last moment. But, substantially
our "officiai" table is correct and will dc
to figure on:

*Including Langlsde.

Our increase since 1875 has been nearly
Z per cent, and since 1870 about 90 per
cent; very encouraging advancements.
surely, when we take into consideration
the financial crisis of the past dc cade, and
the consequent uneasiness within and
emigration from our borders, during its
existence; our population has had large
drafts made upon 1t, for the settlement of
Kansas and the Northwest, in the past ten
years, but large influx of immigrants
has enabled US TO not only hold our own,
but advance with very satisfactory strides.
A review by Congressional districts
will be instructive. An increase of ratio
will doubtless be made by the next Con-
gross, so that our increase of population
will hardly serve to bring us an increase
of Congressional representation. A re-
districting will be essential, however,
for some of the northern districts have
quite outgrown their due proportions, as
will be seen by the following exhibit,
compared with 1870. The present ratio is
100000:

The proposed trans Sahara railway will
doubtless be an accomplished fact within
very few years. and it is possible that
work may be entered upon this coming
winter. The chief engineer of the sur
veying party has returned to Paris, and
reports feasible route about eco niles
south of Ell Golea, in latitude "a degrees
north. Abundance of water was found,
and lake was discovered full OF fish and
surrounded with vegetation. The general
character of the soil was hard sandstone,
though for eighty miles there was an arid
bed of hard limestone. The tamarack
rec grows luxuriantly in the Sahara, &C.
quiring development of three yards and
half in circumference. The price of
salt is enormous, one hundred bushels OF
it being valued at four slaves. The price
of slave is about $50.

RE CLASSIFICATION OF PENSION CLAIMS
commissioner BENTLEY, of the Pen
sion Bureau, announces new system of
classification and indexing of pension
claims. The present classification is by
serial number and name only, and if it is
necessary to discover whether any dupli.
cate claim had been made by person
named SMITH, it is necessary to examine
the records of 5000 SMITHS. The same
is true as to a great many other names.
The new system sclasstties the claims by
State, regiment and company, 50 that
when any claim is made for services rem.
dered IN any company, it will be very
easy to discover whether the claim is an
original one. The new system will save
the government the services of some 80
clerks, and at least $42 900 annually. The
old books will be preserved as additional
security, but will not be of any practical
use after the completion of the new
system.

IF some popular Republican, of &C
knowledged ability, can be put in nomi
nation in the Sixth Congressional district
and there are several elirible gentlemen
who have these essential qualifications in
large degree,-there is no fear but what
it can be regained from the Democracy.
The Oshkosh district is naturally Repub-
lican; in 1878, the Republican and Green
back vote combined was 49, e2-and the
Greenback vote there was largely drawn
from the Republicans,-while the Demo.
cratic vote was only ID 439 Last fall,
Gov. SMITH carried the district over
JENKINS by 91S. Either Mr.. KELLY or
Mr.. GUENTHER would have drawn out the
full Republican vote, but unfortunately
both have declined; the former quite be
yond recall, though there is still some
hope that Mr.. GUENTHER may yet con-
sent to run. Mr.. SAWYER has some en-
thusiastic friends, who desire him TO sac
rifice his other interests suf1i ,iently to
stand in the coming contest; there could
be no doubt whatever of his ability to
carry the day, but it is doubtful whether
he could consent under any circum-
stances. Among others talked of is Judge
Ct. W. WAsHBURNE, of Oshkosh, cousin
of Elk Governor WAsHBURN, of this city,
an ex State Senator, jurist of high re-
pute, and gentleman of unreproachable
record. But there is plenty of good tim
Der in the Sixth district, and the coaven-
ton, if it acts coolly and is supported by
patriotic and selfsacriicing men, can lay
q sure foundation for Republican success
there this fall.

Col. E. N. HILL, an ex Confederate SOL

HoADLEY that "the carpet bag govern

and the only vestige of their existence is
a debt of $4,000 OOO," in long article
addressed to the New York Tribune, in
which he shows from statistical figures
that only $4.312,774 of the States debts
is chargeable to tine Republicans, leaving
balance of $127 ,S77 ,562, to be charged
to Democratic State administrations. SO
much for the cost of the csrpet-b bag gov

THE books in the national library are
multiplying very rapidly; it has been
proved by actual measurements and care.
full estimates, that in sixteen years, at the
present rate of increase, the library
would require, in addition to its present
space, all the room now occupied by the
Senate Chamber, the hall of the House,
and the old Hall of Representatives,
while in thirty-two years it would fill the
entire space of the main floor of the Capt.
toll A Congressional commission has
been Investigating the subject during the
vacation, and is almost ready to
report. It has been concluded that an in.
dependent building should be erected,
rather than attempt to provide room by
an extension of the Capitol. AS to site
for the new building, the choice seems to
be between the square east of the Capitol
Park and Judiciary Square. The compu.
tatlons as to the size of building suf1-
cient to accommodate the library even
fifty years hence, are such as to show that
it must be larger than the Capitol, and
the argument against erecting such a
building near the Capitol is that each
would detract from the imposing appear.
ance of the other. The great cost of SUI
ficient land for such q building near the
Capitol, is also strong argument with
the Commissioners against placing it
there. 1t is the purpose to abandon the
present library of the two Houses for q
selection made specially for parliamentary
use, and, besides this, to give each House
of Congress a portion of the present quar-
tiers for its documentary library. Each of
these has already far outgrown its present
capacity.

HAMPTON speech, just now SO trouble
some to its party:
It would have been much better II Senator
Hampton had Teen content to call his hearers to
the support OF the Democratic ticket as Ameri

is not well for public speaker TO marshal the
horts of the dead Confederacy in the name OF the
dead heroes of the Lost Cause. That may catch
the ears Of the grou ldlings, but it can but make
the judiciCus grieve. We do not take this utter
ance as sign Of new rebellion. but 1t IA a
species of demagoguery unworthy of w de

to say that . considerable part of the Democracy
prefers to live in the unhappy past, rather than
embrace the splendid opportunities OF progress
