and health records for 1880, in the city

cides and deaths from disease than ever
before in the history of the metropolis.
The deaths in the city amounted to 81,

THE REPUBLIC IN DANGER.
nor Gray, in his annual message to the
Legislature Of Indiana, says: "In my
judgment the republic cannot live long
iu the atmosphere which now surrounds
the ballot box. Moneyed corporations,
to secure favorable legislation for them
selves, are taking an active part in cleo
tons by furnishing large sums Of money
to corrupt the voter and purchase
special privileges from the government.
If money can control the decision at the
ballot box, it will not be long until it can
control its existence" He recommends
the enactment of law authorizing the
institution of civil suit against any one
who shall offer. give or receive a bride,
the penalty to be Acknowledgement for
any determined period.

easily Patriotism.

There was appropriated for the pay
ment of pensions for the current fiscal
year over $50, 900, 600, of which large
sum nearly $27, 600, 900. being about one
half of the amount Of appropriation, was
on account of the arrearage act. 1t now
appears that the extraordinary sum above
named is not sufficient to meet the re-
quirements for pensions for the current
fiscal year. and that at least SIS. 900. 900
or $50, 060, 600 additional will have to be
appropriated at the present session Of
Congress to meet the anticipated de.
iciency. The Commissioner of Pensions
has recently settled and allowed claims
for pensions aggregating $4,000, 900,
and checks for that amount have been
mailed from the Treasury. The dis
bursement Of this sum will nearly ex-
haust the entire amount appropriated for
pensions for the current fiscal year, and
make necessary deficiency appropIia
ton in order to provide for the quarterly
payment due in March next. The large
reduction in the annual expenditures
secured 10 the interest account by rea-
son of refunding the public debt into 4
per cent. bonds will be more than coun-
terbalanced by the enormous increase
occasioned by the arrearage pension act;
and, large as this increase is on this
account, it has not yet reached the maxi
mum.
AS loyalty seems to be regarded at
the North in the light of com
modify to be paid for in dollars
and cents, and as there seems to be
no limit to the demands on the gov
ernmen! for pensions, would it not be
well for Congress to put the matter at
rest by passing bill declaring all males
born in the loyal States prior to the year
1850 entitled to pension OF eight dol
lars month during their natural lives,
the pension to commence with the open
ing of the war in 1867 This might not
be exactly just, but it would put an end
to back claims and the yearly crop Of
new pensioners. Besides, it would render
unnecessary vast amount of lying and
other species of loyal villainy.

Schurz will send to Congress a commu-
nication from the Superintendent of the
Census asking for an additional appro-
priation of $500, 900 for the completion
of the census work and the publication
of the results. This will make the cost
of the census 81, 500, 900 The Superin-
tendent reviews the causes which have
necessitated expenditures in excess Of
the original plans of the Census Office.
These are the great rise in prices and
wages which occurred prior to the be-
ginning of the census, involving a large
increase in the cost of field work; sec
ondly, the surprising growth of popula
ton during the decade, the census dis
covering a population two millions in
excess of the highest estimate of the
Office thirdly, the unexpected wealth of
opportunities found in the work of the
various special agents Of the office, es
pecially in the departments of forestry,

wages and machinery, the factory sys-
TEN, the manufactures Of iron and steel
and of textile fabrics, the cultivation OF

YELLOW FEVER AT GUAYAQUm.-
Says Panama dispatch A rigid
quarantine is now maintained on the
coast of Peru of all vessels and steamers
which touch at Guayaquil en- the voyage
south. This is on account of yellow
fever in Guayaquil, which some time
ago was said to have been very wide
spread and fatal there. Thirty deaths a
day were reported at one time. The
disease is now disappearing Notwith-
standing this the steamer Islay is now
anchored off Payta in quarantine. The
steamers of the company will, until
further orders, not call at Guayaquil on
the voyage south. Communication to
that important point will be restricted to
the small steamer Casme, which makes
monthly voyages to the coast Of Ecua-
dor.

An Important Admiralty DcisiOn.

In the United States Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, sitting
in admiralty, Judge Butler, on Tuesday,
rendered an important decision upon q
new point in connection with the estab-
lished regulations for promoting the
safety of navigation The case was one
Of cross libels filed by the Havana steam
er Santiago de Cuba and the British
steamship Scots Greys. These vessels
came in collision in the Delaware river,
below Philadelphia, on the night of July
10, 1879. Both ships steered out of the
way to avoid one another, but confusion
arising in regard to signals they
came into collision while at full speed.
The Santiago de Cuba claimed
$4,000 damages, the Scots GreYs
SIS, 900. The counsel for the
British vessel contended that foreign
vessel. when navigating American
waters, is not bound by the signal regu-
lation of the United States inspectors,
these regulations being designed by Con
gress to be local and domestic in their
operation. Judge Butler sustained this
view of the law, dismissed the libel of
the Santiago de Cuba and entered judg
ment for the full amount claimed by the
owners of the British steamship. This
decision would seem to make it matter
of urgency for our government to CO.
operate with others to procure the i'm
mediate adoption of an international
system of signal regulations which

The Superintendent of the Census, by
a very easy and accurate process, applies
the results of the tenth census to ascer-
tanning what the population of the coun-
try will be in 1890 The approximation
gives ca, 500, 600 souls. These figures are
arrived at by what is called the method
of second differences" a well under
stood principle in statistical arithmetic,
by means of which the constant elements
in the progression of population are
eliminated from those which are occa-
sional and variable. The rate Of in
crease between 1870 and 1880 is com
pared with that between 1860, and this
with that between 1850 and 1860, and
the second differences used to check
off the ratio and equalize it. The results
obtained are very different from those
which are derived from the simple
striking of an average, and they are also
much more positive and certain.

it is incorrect. The country is under no

THE CLEMENT ATTACHMENT.
A Practical Application of IL to the
Wants of the People.

Mr. George NJ. Cornelson, of Orange
burg, was in the city yesterday. He is
the proprietor of the new cotton factory
at Orangeburg, which is now in active
operation.
The factory is worked upon the Glenn.
ent attachment plan, and cost about
$4,000. 1t is the sole property of MP.
Cornelson. who has displayed wonderful
energy and perseverance in placing the
enterprise firmly upon its legs, in the
face of many discouragements.
The factory has four attachments and
one thousand two hundred and twenty
four spindles, all of which are now run
ming every day. 1t is operated by thirty
hands under the supervision of Mr..
Hicks, who had charge of the first fac
tory of this kind started IN the State by
Mr.. Stribling at Westminster. Mr.. Hicks
has also had experience at the Camper.
down Mills in GreenVille and is
thoroughly competent to manage this
enterprise. The hands under him were
chosen with view to their capacity,
and have had experience in spinning
at the Langley and Greenville Mills.
The spinners are paid fifteen cents a side
of one hundred and two spindles and
can earn about sixty cents a day; the
spoilers, reelers and carders earn from
twenty five to seventy-five cents a day.
The machinery is operated by sixty
horse power engine from the George
Page & Co. Works in Baltimore. The
factory consumes two bales or about
two thousand pounds of seed cotton a
day, or six hundred bales during the
year. Mr.. Cornelson pays from three
to three and onehalf cents per pound
for the seed cotton delivered at the
factory. The yarn is worth from TWEEN
tvfour to twenty eight cents per pound.
The profits are estimated at fifty dollars
a day.
Mr.. Cornelson is satisfied that the
factory will pay handsomely, and if the
profits warrant he will increase the
capacity of the mill. He estimates that
he will have to buy $4,000 worth of
cotton a year, and if the capacity of the
mill is increased there will of course be
a correspondingly increased consump-
tion

THE MAINE Ice CRoP.-The good
luck of the Maine ice men in selling one
million tons of their product, gathered
last winter, induced them to make prepa-
rations for housing an enormous guam
tity of ice this season. The Name pa
pers state that one million five hundred
thousand tons will be cut and stored this
winter on the Kennebec and Penobscot
rivers. Maine is particularly adapted for
carrying on the ice business on large
scale. There is an unfailing supply and
an abundance of large vessels required
for sending it to market. 1t goes almost
over the world-cargoes have even been
sent to the East Indies. The dealers do
not fear competition from Norway, as no
ship can afford to go to that country for
ice unless confident of selling at five or
six dollars per ton in the United States.
They state that if it be true, as rumored,
that there are ten inches of ice in Vir-
GINA, the price will not go above three
or four dollars at the most, freight in
cluded.
