THERE are in the United States, accord
ing to the last census, rs, $50, 582 males and
"a, 632 1884 females. It will be seen that
the males are excess of the females nearly
a million. The same relation, however,
does not exist in old communities. In,
most nations, where the growth is natural,
the females are slightly in excess Of the
males. This rule is observable only in
spots in the United States. In most Of
the New England states and in the cotton
States, the females are in excess of the
males. In the west, or newly settled por-
tons, the males are ahead in gradual PRO.
erosion until California is reached where
the females stand in the relation of &c.
S41 to the 100000 males. But this great
disparity is occasioned by the presence of
$4,000 Chinese males. y

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The question Of the
inability Of the president continues to bs
the ruling topic Of discussion. Now that tho
patients condition is such as to no longer ex-
cite serious apprehension, the cabinet arc
much exercised over the situation. One OF
the secretaries said to-day that the more they
discussed the question the greater the difficult
ties apparently. 1t was urged that should
congress be called it would take two or
thee weeks to do it, and judging from
past experience it would require several weeks
moro for them to formulate and adopt law,
by which time the president would either be
we'll or beyond the reach of human aid; then
there was question whether congress had tho
power in the matter anyway, for it rested
simply upon the construction of the constitu-
ton, which was clearly the business Of the
supreme court They were also in doubt as to
whether, after all, it was not the duty of the
vice president solely to take cognizance Of the
fact that tho government was without an active
head Still, again. they feared to

that in future might be taken advantage of to
create dissension and anarchy. While the
cabinet are giving this subject so much atten-
ton, they realize that they can really do
nothing in the premises and only offer advice
in the matter. Judge J. M. Wilson, one
Of the best known lawyers at the capital,
deems it clear that the duty devolved
upon the vice president in such case, under
the constitution, and it was his business to
assume the functions Of the Office, with proper
decorum In order to do it decently, and with
becoming dignity, correspondence should per-
haps pass between the corps of surgeons and
the vice president in order to obtain formal
statement Of the presidents condition, which
was now only

HE WANTED HIS PORK.
A Type of Our Natural Diserac

From the halifax On. 81 Chronicle
| Gen. Wagner, the popular U. s. consul
| at st. John, who had lately been sacrificed
to the "spoils" system. was entertained at q
dinner by q number of the citizens of st.
John ono evening. Mayor Jones pre-
sided. Among those present was the gen.
erals successor, Mr. Fessenden. In re-
spending for the president the new consul
said:
But here he might be asked how it was
that he felt thus he had taken Gen. War
ner's place. That question had been raised
before he left home, and the generals rep
utation having travelled that far, friend
had said to him, 'Fessenden, don't you feel
mean in taking Gen. Warmers position?'
He told that friend little story, which he
would here repeat: There lived in certain
neighborhood very benefcient gentleman,
whose charities and good works were
| widely diffused. That gentleman i'm
agined that he missed some pork from
his cellar. He kept watch and found a
man in the act Of taking it. Jones, said
the gentleman, is it possible that yen are
taking my pork?' [Cheers and great
laughter.] Jones made no reply. In
creased laughter and cries of Jones mover
does reply.] The gentleman pressed the
question and Jones at last answered. I
have nothing against you only wanted
your pork. [Roars Of laughter They
would now understand how be came to
take Gen. Warmers position" [Roars of
laughter.
So Gen. Warner, man who had served
his country well IN the army and in the
consular service for twenty years, was
turned out upon the world to seek living
as he might in his declining years. because
Mr.. Fessenden wanted his place, If the
democrats had won and they had dismissed
Gen. Warner, there would have been little.
ground for surprise. The "spoils" system,
with which the states is cursed, would have
lead us to expect as much. But Gen. War
ner, against whom there 4, was not the
breath of suspicion, was turnad out of Of
fee by the political party with which he
was in sympathy. It was a mean, misera-
BILE business. No wonder Mr.. Fessenden
was asked if he did not feel mean in taking
Gen. Warmers place. He ought to feel
mean. There would have been no discred-
it in taking the Office if it had become va
cant in a legitimate way. But to endeavor.
as Mr.. Fessenden confesses he did, to eff.
feet Gen. Warmers dissmissal so that he
might get his Office, was mean business.
There were some people, we believe, who
wanted Judge Jackson's pork, but fortu-
ately did not get it.
