AKnowIn1 Horse,

The horses of the West Chapel street branch road are kept at the stables at Vest vile, and when changed during the day are taken through Whalley avenue and Norton street to the cars at the junction of West Chapel street. The horses each work about three hours, making as many trips from Norton street to the main road at the corner of York and Chapel streets. A few days ago, upon one of the horses being taken out of the stable at Westville to be taken to re- ieve another horse, it was discovered that one of the shoes was loose which had to be put on again, and which would delay the ex- change at Chapel and Norton streets one trip. The horse to be relieved, on arriving with the car, looked up Norton street, and appeared to know that his time had expired, and went hesitatingly back to the other end of the car, as if to make another trip. The horse again looked up Norton street, and not seeing the relief horse refused to go step. He was coaxed and patted, but all to no pur- pose. The driver and passengers gently showed the car against him, but it all did no good -the horse would not budge foot, but kept looking up Norton street for the relief and Whinnied loudly Word was therefore sent to the car on the turnout, and the con- necting car at York street. that the trip was omitted, so as not to detain the cars. By the time the next trip was to be made the re- lief horse had had his shoe put on and ar rived to take his place. The horse relieved gave whinny, kicked up his hind legs in great glee and trotted of to the stables, much to the amusement of the crowd who had witnessed the performance. The next day and every day since the horse works as usual, but on the trip when his time is up looks up Norton street to see if his relief is on hand,

The greatest increase in any ten years was $1,000
from 1870 to 1S00 the least was 130o0 from 1880 to
1870 The average was 65 900 for each decade, not
including the census of 1870, which, for the
argument, is omitted from this calculation.
The highest number of foreignb born reported at
any time was 99S1, in 1850, which number will not
be exceeded by the enumeration of 1880. The
persons of Northern birth will not exceed 5000.
fewer than in 1860 This leaves the present pOpll-
lation of South Carolina TO be made up of native
Southerners and colored persons, minus the above
mentioned. Now what are the facts? We assume
that the State has maintained her normal con-
dition as to changes 10 and from her inhabitants.
At least nothing unusual or extraordinary is
known which would attract an unusual immigTa-
ton to her borders; but reasons have existed why
her population should be materially diminished,
probably far exceeding her natural increase dur
ing that period, as follows: First" The effects,
as General Walker well says, "ou the population
of the State Of four years OF Devastating civil war
taity on the part of the survivors the separation
of husbands and wives, and the procrastination of
marriage on the part of the young through
out a population of which all able bodied
adult males were declared by law TO
be soldiers Second-The decrease of the slave
population during the war by removing the slaves
to remote States to avoid the enemy, many of whom
never returned; the escapes to the enemy, which
scattered the fugitiyes to other sections 10 the
North and elsewhere many remaining perIna-
came with emancipation, the death rate being so
great for some years particularly among the young
IL Oh
1t is only since 1870 that the colored population has
turned the scales and shown a yearly increase
though much less prolific than during slavery
Third-Thc political condition Of the State under
both parties successfully has been unfi,yor-
able TO immigration. Under carpet bag rule
the whites left, while under Democratic rule
the blacks have left in great numbers Now
the question rises where the astounding
increase of 290 e9 the census OF 1860 has come
from. We have seen that in the most prosperous
days South Carolina ever experienced including
the importation aid rapid multiplication OF slaves
her population increased only at the rate of 65OGj
in ten years. In twenty years it would be 10000;
but that is 10000 less than is claimed for the
past twenty years, when the ravageS impoverish-
ment, ami depletion of war and the years follow
ing have interyeHed to diminish her population
Or, if divide the increase OF 600 equally We
have 5000 from 1850 to 1870, and $4,000 more 70
1880. against 5000 the highest the State ever saw
before. or 65000, her average. The total increase
of the state from lSi0 to 1862 period OF fifty years
was only 2.i3 900, against 5000 claimed for the
last twenty years The utter absurdity of the claim
is too apparent 10 admit of further argument.

General Swain visited Helena in 1872 with Gem
eTal Garfield on whose staff he served in
the Army of the Ohio in 1862 and
with whom he has continued intimate re-
lati0ns since that time. General Swain is from
Salem, Ohio, and was lieutenant i'll the Sixty fifth
Ohio Volunteers and adjutant OF that regiment
until his promotion In the memory of his old
associates General Swain is q c0mrade brave and
dear, and they recall him and his success with
generous pride. He was assiduous. patient labori-

he was courageous and cool on the field of battle
he was wise in counsel and inspired i'll his COM
rades courage and confidence which fitted them
for the deprivationS OF the march and the perilS of
the combat. Our notice Of General Swain Of Au-
gust Q, 1872, was as follows:
Major Swain, who accompanies General Gar
field TO Montana, entered the volunteer army as
first lieutenant of the Sixty fiith Ohio Volunteers
i'll 1861. He was adjutant Of that regiment and
acted as assistant adjuant general CT the brigade

COLONEL BOB INGERsoLL.
Few Remarks About DeIaware, Mary
land and New LerneH.

Colonel Bob Ingersoll has been inter
viewed on his recent indictment by the Delaware
grand jury and his arraignment by Judge Come
gys, and the following extracts are from that in
terview: To question as to whether he had seen
the charge of Judge Comegys, he replied: "Yes, l
have seen the charge in which he relies upon the
law passed in 1740 After reading the charge 1t
seemed to me as though he had died about the
date ofthe law, had risen from the dead, and had
gone right on where he left off. Ipresume Judge
Comegys is good man; but, as compared TO some
other men, he is something like his State when
compared with other States. A great many people
probably regard the charge of Judge Comegys as
unchristianlike, but do not. OfcOurse there are
thousands and thousands of people in Delaware
people who have been in other States, people VINO
have listened TO Republican speeches, people VINO
have read the works of scientists-who hold the
law of 1740 in utter abhorrence; people who pity
Judge COmegys and who have a kind of sympathy
with the grand jury. You will see by the late
elections that Delaware lacked only SIX or
seven hundred of being a civilized State, and
probably III 1884 will stand redeemed and regen-
Grated, with the law of 1749 expunged from the
statute books. = Delaware has not had the
best ofOpportunities. She is next to New jersey,
which is al obstacle 10 progress, and she Is just
beyond Maryland. l have heard that oysters had
legs, but that God took them away to prevent the
people OF the Eastern Shore from starving to DEATH
forthey were never known TO get anything that
they had to work for > : Judge Comegys is
the last judge that win make such charge in the
United States of America. He has immOrtalized
himself, and is the last man of his race; no more
can be born

Who viii Succeed wood.

A strong effort ought to be made to
send Republican TO Congress from the Ninth Dis
trict, in place of Fernando Wood. The district is
decidedly Democratic in ordinary times, but in the
present disorganized state of the city Democracy
hopeful and probably successful contest could be
made by the Republicans if they select an able
and popular candidate A large number of Demo-
cratic votes were drawn from Mr.. Wood last fall,
and his plurality was only 1859. His personal
prestige and leadership cannot be transferred to
any other Democrat in the district. A gain of one
Republican vote in the:closely- balanced condition
of the new House is matter of considerable i'm
pOrance, and should be looked after by the Repub-
lican State and city committees. We believe the
district can be carried with proper effort and a
first-rate candidate.

New Orleans ON SUNDAY.

One could readily imagine himself in
Mexico to see the manner in which Sunday is
spent in New Orleans and some Of the lower par
ishes in Louisiana. Most OF the people in the
small cities go to mass in the forenoon and spend
the remainder of the day at gambling the favorite
game being keno, which is played in prominent
places with open doors. Many men accompany
the of the family to the church door, but go
themselves to the kenO-room and remain till
church service is over, while others go to church,
remain during service, and go thence openly to
the gambling room, where they spend the balance
of the day at play or drinking.
