EASTERN DISPATCHES
Press Opinions Upon the Southern
Census Retufnl.

New YonK, August 1S.-The Herald
evidently takes no stock in the stories
tina. the census Of the Southern States
has been ssrbled to affect Congressional
representation. 1t says: Even IL the
preiudices Of the secession era were not
destined to pass away with the dotags
and death OF the old political leaders.
there would be no reason to fear o Sec
ton whose relative weight In the Repub.
lie is go rapidly declining. The Rspub-
licau party Is laying the stress Of It's can.
yass on q futile issue. Its really strong
point is In its management Of the ma.
tionsl finances under Hayes Admins
tration, its vast and successful rsiunding
operations by which the interest Of our
debt has been largely reduced, and the
resumption OF specie payments BY the
skillful administration Of . defective law
will always all the brightest pages in the
financial history OF the country. The
Republican party may plsusibly claim
that II IL 30 fully committed to the sue
cess OF the resumption experiment that
IL may be more safely trusted than the
rival party for such further measures as
may be needed to insure Its stability.
Its party pride 10 at stake to render re-
sumption permanent, and on this issue
Il would have o valid claim to further
lease OF power. But on the false and
fictitious sectional issue II deserves only
rsprobation and contempt.
The Times. however. has . long letter
from South Carolina, written by Q
Sou.hernsr, showing oonolusively that
where whole districts and sections Of
that State show q small increase In pop
ulation, and even o decided loss for
thirty or forty years past continuously
now show an absurd increase In some
cases to an eItont OF eighiy-avs per
cent. in ten years.
The Times gives facts and figures
whereof the following 10 . fair sample.
Let us take ten counties and see what
has been the rate Of increase /: Let these
counties be Abbsville, Anderson. Ches.
ter, EdRefsld, Fairfield. Grssnville. Ksr.

borough. These counties had o popu.
lation Of 2l2, $40 In 1850; OF 2l8,444 In
1860; OF 2l6. 900 in 1870. and 1t is de.
clared that their population in 1880 is
32l. 523.
The Times comments on this exhibit:
II Superintendent Walker does not find
In these comparisons sufficient ground
for q thorough review Of the census OF
South Carolina by honest and comps.
tent persons, he must DO very bard to
convince. II the Bourbon leaders In
that State have not been engaged In dis
graceful efforts to fslsify the census OF
the United States for the purpose OF
gaining political power that does not
belong to them in the National councils;
as they have already usurped 1t by yio-
lence and fraud In the State itself, they
should welcome q vindication through .
rigid and faithful remuneration. But In
any case the rest OF the country has the

I, il now announced that the raise In

menced tomorrow.

msnced thirty or forty feet south Of the
Union shaft. and crosscut No. 2 100 feet
south OF crosscut No. l. OF = 1t
ia impossible to tell just how far those
crosscuts must run to find the ore vein,
but. judging from the supposed make OF
that vein. crosscut No. 2 will not find
ore in less than about 100 feet. unless
the swell OF the ore body Is we'll to the
west. This may be the case. since clay
aud quartz in strsaks and feeders were
encountered near whore the crosscut has
been started.
Crosscut No. I will have Q distance to
run which il represented by the casting
made by the vein during its descent OF
100 feet perpendicularly. unless. as In
the foregoing case. the body makes 70
the west.
Let us hope, in all sincerity. that the
make Of the ore vein to the west IL not
great yet; for in that case the prospects
for q great ore body will be increased.
The less swell on the $500 level the
deeper and heavier the ore body. IL
should broaden Q little. but not 100
much. II an increase Of ten feet in the
width Of the ore vein on the 1900 level
over its breadth on the 2400 level can be
obtained, then calculations for an im-
menss ore body on the 2600 and 2'0o
levels may be confidently be made.

much to see 30 much eagerness mani.
tested by the people below. The spirit
