A Growing People.

In round numbers the population of
the United States increases at the rate of
100000 a year. The census of 1880
showed population of over 50,00O,0O0
and close estimates based On local census
give in 1886 sc. 100000. OF this increase
about one third is from abroad. Two
natives reach the stage of action for one
foreign resident. The ratio of native
increase must in the future be greater, as
the native element is constantly growing
larger while the foreign is about station.
ary. The immigration for last year was
little larger than that OF 1884 and this
year promises to exceed the last; but
both years show a decrease on several
preceding years. Many thoughtful per.
sons are apprehensive of future trouble
through this rapid Increase of population,
80 largely drawn from foreign sources.
The spectacle of from 100000 to 100000
foreigners being absorbed annually into
our Industrial force is one, they think,
which cannot be continued without in
time producing q serious disturbance.
It should be borne in mind that when d
foreigner comes to this country and
becomes part of lis laboring force, be
becomes also part of its consuming
force. In many cases he does work in
this country which in his absence would
be done in Europe. Until the population
approaches the limit of our producing
capacity, the foreigner may as we'll work
here as in Europe. We now export
grains and meats which are consumed in
Europe, and the product of the consum.
sr's labor is sent to US. When the
Iaborer comes over and works in this
country, he consumes more of cur agri-
cultural products than when he is in
Europe and he only adds to the consum.
ing force. In time the foreign immigra.
lion will decrease in actual numbers,
as it is already decreasing relatively.
The number of born Americans is every
year larger, aud will increase for years !;
but the inducements for foreigners to
come here will grow less and less. The
immigration question is therefore largely
one of the Imagination, go long as it is
confined to the Caucasion race. Tie
politicians who are disturbed over it live
quarter of century too late. This
country has passed successfully through
the danger they now think they see in
the future. Whatever peril there may
have been in that question when the
nation was young and the native popula.
zion email has now passed away.-San
IEranc;sco Call.

we're taken away from the scene by the
steamboat Stella Wild, which plies be-
tween Bayou Sara and Natchez. As the
Wild was backing out four kegs of gun
powder that were in the hold exploded,
and the cotton and burning timbers were
buried in all directions. This virtually
put the fire out, and what was once q
palatial steamer was now blackened
wreck. A loud cry for help came from
the middle of the stream. A boat was
lowed from the WiAl, and was quickly
pulled in the direction of the cry.
Through the darkness the crew saw the
figure of man grasping a bale of cot
ton, out before they could reach him the
bale turned over, and when it was righted
the man was gone"
CHICAGO, Dec. 1G.-A special from
New Orleans says: Fully forty. five OF
the passengers and crew of the i'll fated
steamer John M. White are missing; of
these thirty FIVE are negro laborers who
took passage on the boat at landing
just above the point where the accident
occurred. 1t is believed at least twenty
perished.
Captain Muse, commander of the
steamer, was in his room at the time the
steamer was found to be on fire. He
was awakened by the alarm and ran from
his room on the upper deck to find that
retreat to the deck below was already cut
off by the flames. He hung out from the
upper deck on chain and in that way
reached the bank. Afterward he tried to
return and assist those still on board, but
he discovered that he would lose his own
life if lie persisted. he then organized
relief force from the bank and super.
intended. Sailor Pierson went in
yawl to rescue those struggling in the
water. Persons conduct during the
confusion was most beroic. Pushing his
way through the crowd of shrieking
passengers at the steamers stern, he cut
the yawl loose from its fastenings, and
after desperate struggle lowered it to
the water. -Four negroes jumped into
the boat and cut the painter but the
sailor forced them back, and taking
twenty human beings into the yawl
landed them safely on the shore. Then
rowing quickly back he saved twenty
more. On the third trip he rescued nine
and on the fourth trip three. By the
time he reached the shore on the last
trip all that remained of the steamer was
her hull. Captain Muse said last night
he did not think more than FIVE of the
cabin passengers and ten of the deck
hands perished. His estimate is regard
ed as very low.

A Rare Surgical Operation.

CINCINNATI, December 13.-One of
the rarest and most dangerous operations
in the scope of surgery has been lately
performed at the Cincinnati Hospital.
1t consisted of removing about three
inches of the backbone and exposing the
spinal cord. The patient was young
eolored man about twenty. one years old.
When first admitted to the hospital he
was suffering from terrible disease,
which had broken out over the head,
neck and back in the form of large alb.
s:esses, the chief one of which was
about the middle of the back, and bad
eaten away the backbone to considera'
BILE extent. The poor fellow WAS COM
PEELED always to lie on his face. His legs
we're completely paralyzed. 1t was
decided that his only chance Of escaping
death lay in the removal of g part of the
backbone, so as to stop the process OF
decay.
He was turned on his face, and the
surgeon made an inciaiol down the spine.
A. large quantity of pus was revealed, and
the cavity was spouged out carefully, in
order to see just where the knife was
going. In this region, where one slip of
the knife or one false move would have
been fatal to the patient, the surgeon
with q chisel and hammer cut out all
that which was in any way affected, never
touching the spinal cord. All causes of
suppuration and paralysis were removed;
The patient recovered from the ether and
was placed in bed on his face. In three
days motion returned to his legs, and he
was able 10 move his feet for the first
time in nearly year. About the same
time sensation began to return to the
limbs. In about three weeks he could
bear some weight on his legs. He at
length became strong enough to stand
with assistance and take step or two.
He is now able to walk to the end of the
ward and sit down in q chair with com.
fort. The wound has gradually closed
up, leaving only slight scar, and causes
him little or no pain.

An Alarming State Of Affairs in York
County,

CHARLESTON, S. G., December 15.-A
week ago the Neos and Courier published
dispatch from York County, S. c.,
reporting that white boy named John
Lee Goode had been beaten and mangled,
that he soon died, and that four colored
men had been arrested az the murderers
and committed to Jail. It was stated
that the theory was that some of the
negroes had been detected by the boy in
the act of stealing cotton from his faith.
er's field, and that to prevent their arrest
they killed him. There was great excite.
ment in the County in consequence, and
several more arrests were made.
The NeDs and Courier, to get at all the
facts, sent special correspondent to
York, and will publish tomorrow the
result of bis Investigations. There is
evidently an alarming state of affairs in
York County, and it is proved conclusive
ly that an organization exists among the
colored people which contemplates muir.
der in the event of the detection of any
member accused of crime.
Twenty six negroes are now under ar
rest, The inquest on the body of tue
murdered boy before q discreet jury
brought out all the facts. One of
of the negroes turned States evidence
and aucthcr admitted that he had killed
q man who was murdered in the County
eighteen months ago.
Several of the colored witnesses at the
inquest swore that they had club, or
clan, in the County for the purpose Of
stealing cotton, provisions, whisky, &c.
The members were to steal whatever they
wanted, and if detected were sworn to kill
the person who detected them. The club
has different names, but was generally
known as "Rising Star Lodge No. "a OF
the Grand United Order of National
Laborers and Protective Society of North
America" The charter came from
Charlotte, N. c., and is dated December,
1884. The charter, however, would seem
to shcw that the society had only benev'
olent and fraternal objects
Among other things revealed at the
inquest was a plot to waylay Elias Inmap,
who was thought to have money, but
the assassin missed him.
One of the witnesses gave detailed
account of the murder of the poor boy,
John Lee Goode, and also the names Of
several of his accomplices in crime.
The talk OF general lynching has
abated, but the indignation and unrest
are intense.

and I am willing to pay if the law is

but travel all the time, and DR.. FELTON, is
in the same fix. There ought to be a
score of good able-bodied hands or con.
victs hired by the County to work the
roads, and put them in charge of man
who knows how it should be done.
Won't the Legislature pass local option
law on this subject, and let each County
choose it's own methods. Floyd County
adopted the convict plan twelve years
ago, and has the best roads in the State.
It is a luxury to drive over them. The
whole system under our present law is
wrong and bears unequally and is harder
on the poor than on the rich and the
land owners. I own half of mile of
road front, and DR.. FELTON, owns a mile
on both sides and Sam Jones half mile,
and neither one of us work nor send q
hand. The doctor and I are too old,
and Sam Jones lives in town. Nabor
Freeman owns fine farm next to me,
aud he furnishes only one hand. Nabor
Mumford owns two splendid farms,
worth, perhaps, twenty thousand dollars,
and he works lots of mules and wagons,
and carriages and buggies, and sends one
hand tO work the road, and when he gets
a little older he won't have to send any.
These iron mines and manganese mines
are teaming on the roads all the time,
and don't send single hand, for the
owners live away off somewhere. Give
us chance to change the system, and if
our commissioner want the convicts let
them have them. Good roads are what
we want. We are heavily taxed to
support the courts and the jails and other
peoples lawsuits, but we had rather be
taxed for good roads. There are two bad
hills between my house and town, and
they will always be bad, and yet twenty
good hands could make good roads
around them in one week and not in.
