Census Returns.

Superintendent Porters census statistics
are being very rapidly formulated, espeei-
ally those relating 10 population. They
are somew hat surprising AS to the total 0f
this Yankee nation. All the prom'ne nj
statistic prognosticators, prior 10 the taking
of the census, had figured on the approx.
mate result and none Of them had figured
less than IS o00, 900. Most of them had
settled on G6 900 900 or 81 900 900 and one
TO nearly Is coo. .00u. Now, il would seem
the actual figures will come between g..
900 0eo and G3 eco 600. As there has been
been such dissatisfaction in very man,
towns and cities over their results, could
not Uncle Sam himself find fault md or.
der general recount. Nothing would
better pleasc..those, at least, who are EN-
loved in the Census Bureau. One result
is certain, that, while New England has
creditably acquitted herself, she is no
match for the rest of the country and

THE RACE BATTLE ILLINOIS.

There comes TO us a seemingly wei
authenticated statement of d dire con
fict in Illinois between the African and
Caucasian races. Itappears that IN Alton
the board Of education provided
separate schools for the two races, but
that the negroes, ambitious to move to q
higher plane and determined not to be
restricted to plucking the fruit Ct
knowledge from an African tree, aban-
doned the school-house provided for
them and marched in solid phalanx to
invade and possess in common with the
Caucasian, tho one provided for the
whites.
The battle was not short, sharp, and
Immediately decisive, for it is said TO
have lasted at least fifteen minutes, and
the prolongation Of the conflict was
evidently due to a want Of nerve in
Superintendent Powell, who acted with
lamentable irresOlution. Young Amer
lea, however, was determined not to
submit to the African invasion, and 1t
is said that there was a hard fight, dur
ing which books. inkstands, rulers,
states and hair filled the air. 1t Is
further stated that the white girls urged
their companions on with encouraging
shouts, and brought them munitions OF
war, when possible. As usual, Africa
was routed and the Caucasian asserted
his supremacy, and so will it be, 1t may
be predicted to the end Of the chapter.
Ii is to be hoped that incidents such
as have been stated will open the eyes
of our Northern brethren 70 the fact
that repugnance to association with the
negro IS not confined to the South, and
that any assertion Of equality on bis
part is equally repugnant TO both. II
we have to guard against the assertion
Of that equality with more rigid vigi'
lance, il is because negroes form an i'm
mense proportion Of our population,
and any relaxation Of the true relations
Of the two races would lead 10 untold
evils. This constant vigilance, spring
ing from and based on public opinion,
is more and more preventing the COM
mingling Of blood, which was properly
one Ieproach Of our old civilization,
and is forming the negro Of the future
Of as pure an African type as can be
found in Central Africa.

SENATOR PLUMB. OF KANSAS.
The assault which Senator Plumb, Of
Kansas, made upon Senator Call, OF
Florida, on Tuesday, on the floor OF the
Senate Chamber, was as vulgar in It's
expression Of angry feeling as it was
groundless in the charges advanced. So
unrestrained was it. in fact, that it is
difficult to explain its motive. unless 1t
be attributed to the fact that its author
mad been thwartod by the Senator from
Florida in some scheme Of doubtful
nature which he wished 20 carry
through by the influence Of the official
position which he occupied. Counte-
nance is lent to this supposition by the
reference which Senator Butler made
to bin as the friend Of the boodler' ~
which was tantamount TO saying that
he was a boodler himself.
Isit possible, on the other hand that
Senator Plumb desired merely to rise to
that extraordinary height Of abusive
vulgarity to which his colleague attains
with so little difficulty upon the slight
est proyocationy Senator Ingalls, plumes
himself upon possessing a tongue that
commands all the verbal resources d
the lowest wrangler in Billingsgate,
and the deeper he sinks in that mire Of
brutal coarseness of expression from
which all honorable men draw back in
disgust. the more inflated become his
conceit and self-esteem. SenatorPlumb,
despite his recent performance, must be
rated as inferior to his colleague, but If
he continues in the same line, tits not i'm
probable that he may on occasions equal
that distinguished Senator.
Why is It that Kansas, of all the
Western States, is disgraced by its two
leading representatives whenever the
subject for debate before the Senate IS
such as to test their characters as de-
cent members Of society Z Is this ir-
ritability due to the fact that the Kan
sas Senators see the balance Of power
passing from their party in their State
owing TO the Increasing enlightenment
Of it's citizens in the matter Of the
tariff? One of the recent witnesses be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
10 Washington predicted that unless
Congress could give some assistance
to the agricultural interests Of Kansas,
it would inevitably wheel into the line
Of the Democracy. Probably the
Kansas Senators already discover the
fatal handwriting on the wall and are
unable to restrain their tempers in con-
sequence.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Plumb
at least, has learnt lesson from his en-
counter with Senator Call. for rarely
has 90 excoriating a reply to a wholly
uniustifiablo attack been delivered upon
the noer Of the Senate as proceeded
from the latter on Tuesday.
