POPULATION OF LOUISIANA.

The recent election in Louisiana indicates
that the census of 1890 will show some very
surprising facts in regard to the movements
of population. For fifty years past each decen-
NAL census has shown the center Of popula-
ton to be moving steadily westward pretty
nearly along the thirty ninth parallel Of lati-
tude. Thus in 1880 it was nineteen miles
west of Moorefeld, w. Va; in 1910 it was
sixteen miles south of Ciarkshurg, W. Va;
in 1850 it was twenty three miles southeast
of Parkersburg; in 1860 it was twenty miles
south of Chilicothe, o.; in 1870, forty -eight
miles northeast of Cincinnati, and in 1880,
eight miles southwest of Cincinnati. The
general movement of the center of population
has been q litth south of west The next
census ought to locate it in southern Indiana.
But tho result of the Louisiana election ind;-
Gates that it will make great jump to the
South, landing, perhaps in the vicinity of
Shreveport or in the parish of Tangipahoa,
Louisiana This would be contrary to all
preconceived ideas of the movements of pop
ulation. but the election returns point that
way. At last accounts the Democratic ma
jority in Louisiana was $1,000 and still in
creasing. Call it even $1,000. The entire
Democratic vote in the State for Cleveland in
1884 was $3.50. The majority this year is
g. 900 greater than the entire vote four
years ago. One parish, Rapides, which
four years ago polled only 2,627
votes, all told, this year gives Democratic
majority of nearly 1000. This shows an in
crease of population that throws Kansas, Da-
kota and all the Western States and Terri
tories completely into the shade. On a fair
computation we should say the Democratic
majority indicates an increase in the popula-
ton of Louisiana during the last four years of
about $50, 600. At this rate it will have quad
rupled during the present decade. The pop
ulation of the State in 1880 was 939, GAG. In
1890 it will probably be in the neighborhood
of 3, 756, 900, and by 1892 the State ought to
be able to give Democratic majority of not
less than 5000, 900. This will place Louisiana
ahead of New York in point of population,
and make it the banner Democratic State Of
the Union. 1t is not easy to account for this
extraordinary increase Of population, but it is
evident the tide Of emigration must have
made great sweep towards Louisiana. We
shall be sorry to have the center of popula-
ton removed from Indiana, but it looks now
as if it would 60 to Louisiana by a large ma

Governor Gray active and stanch Re-
publican up to Feb. %, 1872 at which time he
was candidate before the Republican State
convention for the Office of Lieutenant governor.
Gen. Thomas NJ. Browne. now prominent
member of Congress, and Governor Gray were
both residents Of Randolph county, and the
former was nominated for Governor, which fact
prevented the nomination OF Gray for Leuten-

the key from the doorkeeper. locked the door
and returned TO his seat as presiding officer of
the Senate. When the Democrats protested he
told them he had the key TO the door in his pock-
ct and il any member desired TO retire before
the vote was taken he had better come and try
to get it. He then ordered the vote taken. and
while the Democrats protested and shouted
themselves hoarse and refused to vote, Governor
Gray ordered the Secretary of the Senate TO re-
cord the Democrats ''as present and Eot vot-
Ing" and SO the amendment passed.
Any man who doubts Governor Grays posi-
ton on any Republican measure previous to his
defeat in Republican State convention at In
