The thirty-one thousand census enu
merators are being paidsat the rate of
five hundred a day. ,j
The floors of the new National Mu
seum in Washington are laid with
North Carolina heart pine.
Let it be understood that the popula
tion of Mecklenburg county is 34,110
not 31.410. as. printed yesterday. That
printer has been shot. .
Maj. S. M. Finger goes back to the
Senate from Catawba after a voluntary
retirement of several years. He made
an intelligent' and conscientious legis
lator. The Catawba Democracy has followed
in the footsteps of the Georgia Democ
racy. The little matter in dispute in
their convention last week was refer
red to the people. . 1 ;
After some shillj -shall jing and delay
Ben. Butler has decided to forego the
luxury of being a candidate for Govern
or in Massachusetts this year. He will
not only refrain, but he will stump the
State for Hancock. .
All the census talk we hear amounts
to little more than guess-work. It i3
guessed that the Southern States will
lose three representatives out of 105.
It is guessed that the New England and
Middle States will lose 10 representa
tives: New York 4; Pennsylvania 2;
Ohio 2 ; Maine and New Hampshire one
each.
. A little paper not bigger than a sun
flowerpublished at Mt. Airy, calls up
on the Democrats in Surry county to
bolt the congresssional nomination and
vote for Bobbins. The object is too
plain to deceive anybody. A little fel
lownot bigger than the paper men
tionedby the name of Brower is at
the bottom of it. Brower is conceited
and fool enough to believe he - can be
elected to Congress. Poof idiot!
A howl of rage and indignation goes
up from the ltadical press of the coun
try. Mr. Bright. Sergeant-at-Arms of
the U. S. Senate, has dropped from the
rolls Aunt Katie Dodson, a venerable
negress, who for twenty yjears has acted
as a tiring-maid in the Women's Gal
lery of the Senate. Katie was not a
soldier's widow, though it is claimed
that some of her immediate relatives
were injured in the war of 1812. Her
great grandfather served as cook in the
Revolutionary war and lost two of his
front teeth biting hard bread at the
battle of Cowpens. She first 'secured
her appointment as cabinet custodian
through Senator Morrill, who had seen
her pitched off a railway train in Vir
giniabytwo men who declared that
'no nigger had ever ridden in the car
and never should." Regardless of these
considerations Bright has dropped the
venerable aunty from the rolls. Of
course he had the undisputed right to
do it. Matters it not. '. The old aunty's
skin is highly colorednd Bright is from
the exodusted and pivotal State of In
diana. The mistake Bright has made
has been in keeping a half dozen able
bodied Republicans on his rolls since
the new organization of the Senate.
That "census conspiracy has broken:
out afresh. The New York Times, for
instance, refuses to understand the
"remarkable increase in population in
the South," and comes back to a dis
cussion of the matter with a freshness
and vitality that is extraordinary under
the circumstances. It alleges in its
- .-. A . aw Vi f ? an? ' tmnVaaaivA nrovr
that census supervisors were appoint
ed with a view ao increase Southern
representation" in; Congress, South
Carolina is selected from among the
Southern Statesto sustain the verocity
uf this, statement. ; j . 1 .
-It does not follow at all.,; The Times
forgets, perhaps, that the; census of
South Carolina was taken in 1875 under
llepublican auspices when Chamber
lain was Governor ana. mo euure ma-
cbinery of the State government was
under his control. ".-.:
The population of the State by the cen
sus of 1870 was 686,123 ; by the estimat
ed returns for 1880 it is 081,402, showing
an estimated increase of, 205,279, or 43
per cent for the ' decade. This, as' a
naked i fact undoubtedly, looks very
large. But the Chamberlaia census.of
1875, gives a population of 05,14?, show
ing an increase in five years of 34 per
cent, whereas in Uhe five years since
1875 the increase (on the basis of the es
timated returns) has been only 6 pet

as Supt Walker, admits, the census pf
1870 Of that State was very loosely and
badly taken, and conspicuous for its
omissions and negligence. -.;'.h
Only that, and nothing more. The
same observation will apply to North
Carolina and pother Southern States.
Right . at -hbnie here we iavean in
crease of more than 33 per centand we
have not been more favored than other
sections of the State. There is no fictiti-
ousness about this increase, nor have
our census returns been sophisticated.
Our peculiar civilization may rfotj auf
the more fastidious" "yankee," but we
live and prosper and multiply and
replenish the earth all the same. y..
In Northampton county may be found
the germs of a cotton factory boom. The
grange in that county met the other day
and determined to build a factory at
once at Rich Square. The plan of or
ganization adopted is as follows : ;

It is proposed to adopt the "new

The machinery for one card attach

plete, will cost about $4,000; two sets
$7,000 ; and about $3,333 per set above
that number. This includes everything
in the machinary line, boxed and ready
for shipment.
There is something in this cotton
factory business.- There may be "mil

our manuiactunng interests lies our
rejuvination and rehabilitation. Let the
cotton factory boom proceed.
Your money or your oftice! Stand
and deliver! That is the demand of
the Republican cormorants, who are
prowling through the departments at
Washington. We make an extract from
a-private letter showing the despera
tion to which the party is reduced :
The tendency to use all the power
and influence of the government em
ployes in the campaign has been car
ried to such an extent that no disguise
is now attempted. A Garheld-nag is
now flying from the government print
ing onice,-and the entire force of men
and women in that office have been
given to understand that assessments
are expected. Moreover, no amount
less than $10 will be considered as se
curity for their continuance of the per
son assessed as an employe of that of
fice. A collector for a physician visit
ed one of the departments to-day to col
lect delinquent bills, and was miormea
bv the heads of the department that he
must be lenient with the cierKs, De-
cause of late they had been heavily as
sessed, and must save their money to
go home and vote. The trades people
of the city are generally complaining
of the failure to get their money from
the clerks. It is known that in many
instances the ofhce-holders are saving
their money, because they fear a change
of administration ' next March, and
want to have enough money at that
time to get away from here and em
bark in some business.

v: On" the '1st of December,-1875, Bab
cock under legal advice, after finding
that the civil arm was to take hold of
him by indictment asked for a mili
tary comt of inquiry. His aim was to
have this court whitewash him while

inquiry and named Sheridan for. Presi
dent, with Hancock and Terry as his
coUeagues,?and rAsaBird Gardner as
Recorder. These officers were ordered
to meet within five days, on December
9, at the "Palmer House,' Chicago. 'It
was thought Hancock would ask to be
relUeved on account of this- hasten but
he did not: At this time the United
States grand jury at St Louis washear-
tag eridence agaimt BabcooVbut, had
not vet fully acted.
auiry duly assembled December 9,: and
adjourned until the next day. ;On the
re-assembling of the miUtanrtso'urt on
December 10, Gen. Hancock astonished
his colleagues and gratified the public
with this speech:
"A sense of duty to the laws, to the
military service and. to the accused, im-j
pels me . to ask your concurrence in a
postponement4 or this inquiry for the
present We are all bound to s believe
in the entire innocence of Colonel Bab
cock, and the assumption canft9tbe re
pelled .without ' clear 'evidence. "'It is
due to him to suppose that this Court of
Inquiry was asked in good faith for the
reason given. What were those rea
sons? In the course of a legal trial in
St Louis, Colonel Babcock was alleged
to be guilty of a nigh criminal offense.
Me astea ior aneanng- in tne, same
court, but was informed that he could
not have it because the evidence was
closed. Those circumstances led him
to demand a court of inquiry as the
only means of vindication that was
left Since then he has been formally
indicted, and he is now certain of get
ting that full and fair trial before, a
jury which the laws of the country
guarantee to au its citizens, xne sup
posed necessity for convening ;a mili
tary court for the determination of his
guilt or innocence no longer exists. , it
is believed that our action as a military
tribunal cannot oust the jurisdiction of
the court while the indictment is pend
ing, ine rresiaent nas saia tnrougn
the Attorney-General that such was not
the intention. Then the trial at St
Louis and this inquiry must go on at
the same time, Unless we await the
result of the inquiry there, the difficul
ties are very formidable. The accused
must be present at the trial of the in
dictment. Shall we proceed and hear
the cause behind his back, or shall we
vex him with two trials at once? The
injustice of this is manifest I presume
from the nature of the case that the
evidence is very voluminous, consisting
of records, papers and oral testimony.
Can we compel the production of these
while they are wanted for the purposes
of the trial at St Louis ? Certainly not.
If the military be, as the constitution
declares, subordinate to the civil author
ities, shall we proceed without evidence,
and give an opinion in ignorance of the
facts? That cannot be the vuih
of anybody. I take it for grant
ed that the trial at St. Louis
will be fair as well as legal, aud
that the judgment will be according to
the very truth and justice of the cause.
It will without question be binding and.
conclusive upon us, upon the govern
ment, upon the accused and upon all
the world. If he should be convicted,
no decision of ours could rescue him
out of the hands of the law.. If.be is
acquitted, our belief in his innocence
will be of no consequence. If we anti
cipate the trial in the civil court, our
judgement, whether for the accused or
against him, will .have, and ought to
have, no effect upon the jurors. It can
not even be made known to them, and
any attempt to iufluence them by it
would justly be regarded as an obstruc
tion to public justice. On the other
hand, his conviction there would be
conclusive evidence of his guilt and his
acquittal will relieve him from showing
anything out the recora. 1 ao not pro
pose to postpone indefinitely but sim
ply adjourn from day to day until the
evidence upon the subject of our inqui
ry shall receive that definite and cpn
clusive shape which will be impressed
:l t ! l -e Li
upon n uya veruiut ui me jury, or un
til our action, having been referred to
the War Department, with our opinion
that our proceedihg should be stayed
during the proceedings of the court of
law, shall have been confirmed. In case
of acquittal by the civil court the
functions of this court will not necessa
rily have terminated. The accused may
be pronounced innocent of any crime
against the statute and yet be guilty of
some act which the military law might
punish by expulsion from the army. In
case of acquittal he mav insist UDon
showing to us that he has done nothing
inconsistent with the conduct of an of
ficer and gentleman, as the article of
war runs, but the great and important
question is, guilty or not ? in manner
and form, as he stands indicted, and
this can be legally answered only by a
jury of his country."
Of course Sheridan, Terry and Gard
ner adjourned the court, and after Han
cock sat down there was even a feeble
pretense that Babcock wished it There
can be no doubt, however, that this
court of inquiry was intended to get
possession of all the proof and exhibits
and documentary evidence that the
prosecutors in St Louis held and to "re
tain" them. But Gen. Hancock's promp
titude and sagacity outwitted the Wash
ington conspirators; ! -: 1
