WHITE AND CoLoRED CITIZENS.

RELATIVE STRENGTH OF THE TWO RACES IN DIFF
FERENr PARTS OF TIE COUNTIY-CHANGEs IN
TEN YEARS-sMALL EFFECT OF THE EXODUS.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Census Bureau has
issued bulletin giving IN detail the population oi
the United States classified by 1t shows tie
total population to be 50152, SGG of which
43,4O4.S77 are white. and G,577,151 arc colored
The number of coloTed persons to each 1Oo,OoO
whites is 1873, against 14,529 in 1870. The
greatest proportion of colored to white is in South
Carolina where three-ftths of tho whole are COL
ored. In Louisiana aud Mississippi from One-half
to three-ffths are colored. In Alabama, District Of
Columbia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and
Virginia the colorcd form one-third to one-half
of the total. In Arkansas ard Tennessee from
one-fourth to onethrd of the total population are
colored. The least proportion among the former
Slave States is in West Virginia, where there are
only 1855 to 100 900 whites, and in Missouri where
there are but 7.1GS. Outside of the former Slave
States the proportion Of negroes is very small. The
changes in the relative negro population in the de-
cade between 1870 and 1880 are also given.
In the United States, as a whole there has been
gain of 625 on an assumed basis of 100000 whites.
The great relative gains during the decade have
apparently been made in the South--the former
slave holding States. OF the nine OF these States
which have gained, eight stand at the head Of the
list, having made relative gains rang
ing from 04f to nearly 1000. 1t is be-
lieved by the census officers. however, that these
apparent gains are due in great measure to the
imperfectiOns of the census OF 1870. Under the
conditions which prevailed at that time II is prob
able that much larger proportion of negroes were
omitted than of whites OF the former Slave states
which have Lost Texas and Florida lead. Both OF
these States have received heavy white lmlnlgra-
ton from other parts OF the country, which has
more than overbalanced whatever gain in coloEed
nmnnlation may have been made. They have heen
the scene of rapid develOpment and thus the reIa-
tive decrease of blacks is TO be accounted for not by
an exodus or a dying out, but by an infusion OF
whites. The movement of blacks in the Northern
and Western States has apparently been OF little com
narrative account. The migration of negroes has not
attained such dimensions as to be perceGlbie here
ihe States from which the exodus principally TOOK
Ijace Wississjppi Louisiana and North Carolina,
have all apparently gained heavily in rtIatye pro-
hart went has lost in proportion to its Increase III

FREDERICK LUDELING sHOT-THE PROBABLE CAUSE
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRGBUNEl
WASHINGTON. March 17.-Judge Ludeling,
prominent Republican of Louisiana, now in Wash
lngton received dispatch from home to-day stating
that his eldest son, Frederick Ludelng, assas-
sinated this morning. and that his cousin, young
Dinkgravc, was shot through both arms. No other
particulars are received, but Lousianans who know
the condition of affairs say that the immediate
origin of the affair not of political nature.
OF recent years much ill-will has existed between
the Ludelings and the family Of a neighboring
planter named Stubbs. leading Democrat. Last
year many of Stubbs's HANDS wished to leave to go
to Ludeling's plantation and other plantations
where they would receive better treatment and be
lodged in better quarters. Stubs took steps
not considered exactly legitimate to keep his men,
but some of them left aud went to Ludeling's.
Stubs had a number of men in his employ whose
business it was to keep the hands from leaving, and
these men threatened to get back those who had
gone to Ludelmgs. 1t is thought probable that an
attempt made to get them away, and that
Young Ludeling was shot while trying to defend
them.
Frederick LudelnG was graduated at Yale two
years ago. lie was very bright young man ana
was pOrIar among his classmates.
