for permission to construct a trlegraph

thence along the Grand Canal to Tien

will cost abost $500,000.
Senator Jones, the energetic, self-made
man from Florida, said to Mr. Henry
Watterson: "We havo not the material
wealth that we had before the war, but
in my opinion, children now living will
lee the South far wealthier and more in
dependent than it ever was. Not even
the recuperative powerg of France, after
the German war, have surpassed the en
ergy and spirit of the South since her
people have had eontrol of their own af
fairs. My life has been spent in the
Seuth. I know what it was in the past,
and I do not think I exaggerate regard
ing the fature. After the passions of
be war hate passed away, and a wrse
governmental policy is adopted, we shall
soon have all the prosperity we desire."

An Ohio Congressman said at the Riggs

TE TWO RACKS.
The New York Sun, of one day last
week, published a very interesting paper
from the pen of D.. R. Goodlpe, of this
State, upon the "revelations of the re
cent United States Census." It proves,
according to the figures submitted, that
the negro race, instead of dying out, or
ever becoming overshadowed jy the In
crease in the white population, both by
birth and immigration, is really advanc
ing in numbers more rapidly than i3 the
white race. Mr. Goodloe pnnts a table
showing the relative percentage of in
crease by the whites and blacks in ftnr
teen States, parts of States and cities, as
follows:
In 17 counties in Alabama the in
crease is 18.20 white to 27.60 colored; in
all of South Carolina it is 35 white to
46.50 colored; North Carolina, 25 coun
ties, 25 white to 35.70 colored; District
of Columbia, 33.93 white to 33.85 color
ed; Baltimore, city and county, 24.20
white to 34.10 colored; Delaware, JL7.58
white to 16 colored; New Jersey, 15
counties, 21.74 white to 27.30 colored;
Philadelphia, 25 white to 43.50 colored;
New York, 13 counties. 27,86 white to
43.58 colored; Connecticut, 4 countiesi
10.73 white to 21 colored; Rhode Island,
27.19 white, to 32.40 colored; Massachu
setts, 22.30 white to 36.20 colored; Ver
mont .60 white to 120 colored; New
Hamphsbire, 4 counties, 4.24 white to
38 colored; Illinois, 3 counties, 66.90
white to 89.60 colored.
According to this table, the average
increase of the colored population in the
past ten years was 37.82 per cent., while
that of the whites has been only 25.76,
and this, notwithstanding the a id to the
whites by immigration .and we might
further add iu spite of the tens aud hun
dreds of thousands reported by the Con
gressional kuklux committee as having
been slaughtered by the Southern whites
Goodloe remarks upon the comparative
rate of natural increase as follows :
