In the twenty years from 1860 to 1880
the old slave States gained 8. 267 1888 in
habitants, or about fifty per cent. Dur
ing that time tho whole population OF
the United States increased from 3D.
443, ,32l to 5O,l52.559, or 1905, ,23S. In
1850 the slave States had two-fifths Of
the whole less about 337 900. and in
1880 they were short Of two-fifths by
about l 500, 900.
1t will be seen, therefore. that these
States haze nearly held their 9vn with
the rest, though during tlSe0twenty
years the West has gained 80 heavily
in population. Since 1860 the New
England States have increased in pop
ulalion only S76. .929, or more than one
quarter. The old States Of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio
have gained 3,s96, ,l0l, or more than u
third. IN rr
The great increase in population has
been at the West and South. The pop
ulation of the West, exclusive of Ohio,
has more than doubled; that at the
South has increased about one-half,
that in New England somewhat more
than one-quarter. and that in the four
States of New York, New Jersey, PENN
sylvania and Ohio mJre than third

Newspaper Law.

We would call the special attention
of Postmasters and subscribers to the
following synopsis of the newspaper
laws. The 1st, 3rd and 5th sections
ought to be rigidly obeyed. and post
masters will please pay attention to the
1st. The I'd and 4th sections may be all
right enongh in certain cases, but the
publisher of this paper don't want pay
for subscriptions for papers that have
not been ordered by the persons receiv-
ing them. Here is the law:
/. A postmaster 10 required to give
notice by letter (returning . paper does
not answer the law) when . subscriber
does not take his paper out of the Office.
and state the reason for its not being
taken. Any neglect to do SO makes
the postmaster responsible to the pub
Usher for payment.
2. Any person who takes . paper
from the post-office, whether directed
to his name or another. or whether he
has subscribed or not, is responsible for
the pay.
3. If q person orders his paper dis
continued, he must pay all arrsa sarage or
the publisher may continue to send it
until payment Is made, and collect the
amount whether it be taken from the
Office or not. There can be no legal
discontinuancs until the payment is
made.
4. If subscriber orders his paper to
be stopped at certain time, and the
publisher continues to send it, the sub
sffiber is bound to pay for it if he takes
it out of the postoffics. The law pro-
ceeds upon the ground that man
must pay for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take newspaper or periodi-
Gals from the postoffice, or removing OF
leaving them uncalled for is prima IA
cia evidence Of intentional fraud.

mentS.
From the Republican,

FROM tue hcpuDllc8n.J
Gov. Crittenden has taken almost the
earliest occasion to relieve himself, the
candidates and the public mind Of anx-
iety and soIicitude by promptly send
ing to the State Senate his appoint
ments for Insurance Commissioner,
Warden Of the Penitentisry, and Po-
lice Commissioners. Our information
from Jefferson City is to the effect that
a most perplexing and racking pressure
has been brought to bear upon the
Governor by conflicting interests and
influences, and we think We can well
congratulate him an ] the people upon
the outcome. He and the people may
of course be disappointed as to the full
fillment of expectations relative to the
performance Of all the duties allotted
to the sppointees, but considering all
the circums tances and smbarassments
incident to the occasion, it seems to US
that he could hardly have done better
We learn the pressure for the st.
Louis Police Comnissionerships was
particularly strong and even bitter.
The successful men are Morgan Boland
and Alexander Kinkead. The former
was = late Democratic candidate for
sheriff He has been connected with
the Police Department of the city for a
long time and has borne himself up
rightly and without . stain. With
quick perceptions and full acquaint-
ance with the needs of the service, he
has peculiar aptitudes for the position
that make him eminently fit. NJ. Kin
kead has not been generally known as
an aspirant, but his recommendations
embrace the names of many Of our
most prominent and business men, and
he is thoroughly vouched for as man
of the strictest integrity and fully COM
petent.
Mr.. Willis, for Warden Of the Peni-
tentIary, has proved q most efficient,
conscientious, economical and straight
forward officer. His reappointment
was due to him, and will be accepted
all over the State as entirely suitable
and proper.
The appointment of Col. John F.
Williams as Insurance Commissioners
is likewise appropriate. Not alone for
his services to the Democratic party,
which have been conspicuous for abili-
ity, intelligence and unselfshness,
does he deserve this gratifying recog-
milton and. reward; he Is, besides, one
of the abiest men in the State, true
man in all relations, an able lawyer, an
industrious worker, and one who we
cannot but think will prove valuable
accession TO the list of public men In

The election of Representative Con-
ger, of Michigan, to the Senate, gives
the Republicans some little alarm, and
for this reason: The district to which
Conger is accredited is in Republican
minority, where Demo Gratis and Green

a fusion between the parties, Conger's
seat will be filled either by Democrat
or National. In such an event the

From the Globe Democrat1
The appointment Of Messrs. Boland
and Kinkead as Police Commissioners
has surprised rather than pleased the
people. We do not believe they are
men who would be selected by popu-
lar vote for the positions, or that they
were the best selections to be made
from the candidates presented to the
Governor. Mr.. Boiand has been . Po-
lice Sergeant and . politician. Moth
ing can be said against his integrity,
but neither can anything be said in ia
vor of his fitness. OF Mr.. Kinkead lit
tie is known to the general public, but
nothing unfavorabie Is known. His
chief endorser was an eminent Metho-
dist minister, who was one of the Gov
ernor's Kentucky schoolmates. We
hope for the best il these appointments
are confirmed. Our police system is In
a bad way, and any change is likely TO
improve 1t. Nevertheless IL must be
confessed that in filling these impor-
tant offices Governor Crittenden has
disappointed the expectations Of the
general public.
From the Post-D Dispatch
We are determined to give Gov. Crit
tenden the benefit of every doubt and
view his acts in spiri. of kindness and
calm philosophy. Still we shall not
suppress the truth. And the truth
which Gov. Crittenden will soon
enough ascertain, 10 that his three ap-
pointments for st. Louis, thus far
made, are q mistake. They represent
neither public opinion, nor party ex-
pectations, nor personal obligations, nor
highstanding, nor conspicuous fitness.
1t seems, to say the least, quite unnec-
essary to import gentleman from the
rural districts for the Insurance De
partment when the rural districts al
ready have every important office In
the State and st. Louis has none-not
one except the honor Of paying nearly
half of all taxes in the State.
