THE POPULATION OF CALIFOREIA.-The fncom-
plete report so far received from the census Of
ficials indicate that the population of California
has been overeStimated two OF the chief errors
being In the size OF San Francisco and the num-
Der OF It's Cinnamon Confident assertions were
made that our city had $4,000 CeieStials. and
some members OF the constitutional convention
voted for the exclusion Of the yellow men from
the calculation for state apportionment for the
aVoWed purpose Of reducing the influence of
the metropolis. They carried their point, but
1t seems that they VIII fail In their main object.
since San Francisco has one yellow to twelve
white Inhabitants, while many other counties
have, relatively, twice, and some four times, as
many. The population of many portions of
California has huctuated much within f.w
years. ard some OF the towns have declined
consider ably within the last five yearS-perhaps
more in business and confidence than in pop
ulat1on. Among these, Eureka, on Humboldt
pay, ard Santa Barbara, deserve mention Bo-
die has gained much since 1877, but 1t is not SO
populous as 1t was year ago. Monterey was
almost stationary for thirty years, and was
even deprived OF the county courthouse, which
however. 1t Will probably soon regain, as new
era OF prosperity seems to have come for 1t.
The gold-m1ning towns on the western slope OF
the Sierra Nevada, south OF Plumss, have made
little or no advance The greatest relative in
crease has been in the counties bordering on
San Francisco and San Pablo bays, the southern
part OF the San Joaquin valley, and the sub
