The Increase of our Population.

From recent estimate made by the
Tradesman of Chattanooga, based on
figures furnished it by the comptrollers
of the different Southern States, it ap-
pears that the population of the State of
Florida has increased in a greater ratio
than any other Southern State. During
the ten years just passed the estimate re-
ferred to places the increase of popula-
tion of Florida at SO per cent. Georgia
comes next in the list with an increase of
Al per cent The following figures speak
for themselves:
Alabama = 1865, ,453; increase, per
cent, in last ten years, 81.
Arkansas, ,247, I'll; increase in the
last ten years 81.
Florida--224, 1876; increase SO percent.
Georgia-2, ,165, ,541; increase AZ per
cent.
Kentucky-2,2 200, 900; increase 33 per
cent
Louisiana-1, PSI, $40; increase 33 per
cent.
Mississippi, ,566, ,723; increase 36A
per cent.
North Carolina-1, ,813, ,124; increase
29A per cent.
South Carolina-1, 100, 900; increase 2H
per cent.
Tennessee, ,SOO,O 900; increase % per
cent.
as-2,342, ,812; increase % percent.
Virginia., 1866, $50; increase % per
cent.
Total-19, ,489, so, against IA, ,63S, 1876
in 1880, being an increase in ten years in
the whole South of over 33 per cent.
The comptrollers estimate the whites
at II, 2,21S,43O; blacks, 7,27O,720.
1t is estimated that there are today in
the Southern States 394. $40 whites from
the Northern States against PA, 1886 in
1880. The foreign born whites in the
South today are estimated by the comp
trollers in their reports to the Tradesman
at 643 ,O43, against 420, ,S71 in $780,
The white population of the South ac-
cording to these estimates, has increased
a title over 100000, while the colored
population shows an increase in the ten
years of about 100000.
