The Southern Census.

| = WASHINGTON, September 20
When the ceasus enumeration had
progressed far enough in South Caro-.
lima to show that there woald be q
startling increase over the census
enumeration of 1870, there was q
simultaneous assault made On the cor
rectness of the South Carolina census
for political effect. 1t was charged
that there must be fraud, as it could
not be pretended that there was
an increase Of nearly forty pei cent.
in State that had no manufacturing
or other causes to multiply population
beyond the ordinary increase.
Superintendent Walker and Sccrc-
iary ochura give the matter careful
attention. They did no. heed the
partisan efforts, but they were in
earnest TO have the census taken as
nearly correct as possible. They de-
cIded not to take any public cogniz-
ance of the political complaints
against the State, but 10 attain the
most careful vcrtifcation Of the re-
turns. They lid not formally sus-
pend any Of the Southern returns,
but as they could not pay all the
ennmerators for some weeks they
have paid in their order such as had
no complaints Of any kind against the
work and delayed numerous returns
from both the South and the North
for exhaustive inquiry.
That inquiry has been progressing
most thoroughly while the undisputed
returns were being paid for, and the
work in South Carolina has been Wig
oro.sly prosecuted by going back to
the actual field OF the enumerators and
subjecting their returns to various
tests which will prove their accuracy
or expose their errors or frauds.
Superintendent Walker has had
this work Of examination done in
the most thorough manner, and
although not yet entirely complete,
Eenough is known at the Census Bureau
to prove that the census enumeration
ct 1870 was grossly defective by rea-
son Of corrupt or ignorant enumcrao
tors, and that the most critical revis-
ion OF the bona tide population of
South Carolina will make it about
what the Times reported several
weeks ago. When the work shall
have been completed the decision of
the Census Bureau will he made pub:
lie, and there is now no doubt that
the carefully revised enumeration will
give South Carolina close to sc, 900
inhabitants.-Nc,v York Times.

TIE Republican party feels that it
is now fighting in the last ditch.
When men are pressed to the very
wall they will make desperate efforts
for safety. 1t is now suggested by
some leading papers that the Rcpnb.
licans carry the campaign into the
South. Their last hope is baaed on
carrying Virginia, South Carolina and
Louisiana. Before the middle Of
October it would not surprise us to see
the negroes of this State rallied by
the party cry TO the court houses and
churches, and canvassers sent from
the North to harrangue them. This
policy has been urged time and again.
Forcwarned is forearmed. We should
go TO work and prepare to meet such
state Of affairs. This can be done
by earnest, enthusiastic work. If any
campaign is waged by the Rcpubli-
cans it will be done the last twenty
days preceding the election. 1t will
be too late for us TO organize and
meet such an effort then. Now is the
time to prepare for it.-Carolina
Spartan.

that "the reason the Democrats chose
Hancock was not because his white
Navarrc-lille plume was seen on every
battle Geld, but that despite his pure
personal character, they recognized
in him one who would be subservient
to their wishes"
"Three cheers for Hancock! !" was
shouted near the stand and respond
ed TO by hundreds.
"Iou'd better take out your cheers
for Hancock" shouted the speaker,
only to get response in the charac-
ter of renewed cheers for Hancock,
without any countcraction from Re-
publican throats.
"Suppose you hurrah now for Jeff
Davis" Mr.. Matthews sarcastically
suggest, when the Hancock cheering
had subsidized. This was followed by
roars Of laughter-''or Robert K.
Lee" continued the speaker, in the
same strain. "He was q soldier and
as good u Que rs Hancock"
The crowd laughed again, and then
the cheers for Hancock were renswed
as if in defiance, although the people
seemed good natured. Finally Gar
fields name was shouted by some one
near the League Building, ard three
hearty cheers were given.
"Bad manners" resumed Mr.. Mat
thews, in undisguiscd disgust, "can
always get ahead Of me, and this is
moro than can stand. The men
who made those call for Hancock, if
they had the power, would sweep you
Republicans out Of the streets. 1t is
cowardly!' shouted Mr.. Matthews,
and as he was about TO speak further
cheers for Hancock were started again
taken up for distance of half n
square. 81 had supposed" resumed
the speaker, "that in Pennsylvania,
in Philadelphia, free speech would be
tolerated. Now, with your permis.
sion, l will go on"
"Go on. go on" shouted the
crowd.
Mr.. Matthews attempted TO do so,
but finally gave up the effort in de-
spair.

HOW 1 LADY GOT 4 DIAMOND NECK.
LACE.

The true story Of the diamond necklace
Daniel Webster gave to Mrs. Joseph Gales
is said to be tqi>: When Mr. Webster
made his celebrated reply To Senator
Havnc. Of South Carolina. Mr.. Gales. the
senior editor of the National lutelli-
genccr' undertook To report it, at the re-
quest Of the orator. who assured Mr.. Gales
that the speech would not be more than
halt an hour long The editor was busy.
but he thought he could spare time to take
down and write out so Short a speech.
But rs Mr.. Webster was ascending the
steps ofthe Capitol ON the morning that he
was to speak. he met Judge Story, who
told him il was good opportunity to give
his views upon the Constitution. Webster
acted upon the suggestion, and instead of
speaking for only halt an hour. he spoke
for three hours. Mr. Gales. under the
spell of the orator. wrote on, perfectly un-
conscious of the lapse of time. But when
he came To look over his notes he found
they We're SO vouminous that he would
never have time to transcribe them. The
speech not appcarin"in the 'lntelligenccr"
in due time. Mr. Webster called upon the
editor AT his house. who told him that the
speech was 81 long and his time So much
occupied that he feared he could not find
time 10 write il ont tor publication. While
the orator was expostulating with the edi
tor. and endeavoring 10 urge him tn the
work, Mrs. Gales appeared and said she
thought she could write ont the speech. rs
she had been in the habit of assisting her
husband in transcrihng his notes. She
undertook the task. and in two days sent
Mr.. Webster his speech in full. A mag
nlicent diamond necklace was the rich re-
ward of the Massachusetts Senator. And
thus was preserved To American ltera-
