The Colored Man In Mot Coin North Bat Moath-A notable Movement Away From the Har der (Mates. Washington, March 25. Superintend ent Porter of the census bureau, has in preparation an important bulletin giving th population of the South Atlantic and south Central states, Missouri nnd Kan sas, by races. The total population em braced in this count is given as 23,875, 25U, of which 16,868,205 arc while, 6,096,166 colored, 10,888 Chinese, Japa nese and Indians. In the states included were found in 1890 fifteen-sixteenths ot the entire colored population of the Uni ted States, so that for the purpose of im mediately ascertaining the percentage i increase of colored population theretur ,s of these states are adequate, and dot likely to be materially affected by iU returns of the other states and terri tories where the colored population is small. The abnormal increase of the col ored population in what is known as the black belt during the decade endini; in 1880 led to the popular belief that the negroes were increasing at a much lurger rate than the white population. T'lis er ror was a natural one, and arose from the difficulty of ascertaining how much of the increase shown by the tenth r emus was real, and how much was due to the omissions of the census of 1870. The facts s urcertnined sustain the theory that the high rate of increase in the growth of the colored population as shown in 1880 was appurent. not real, unci that tt was due to the imiwrfect enu meration in the Southern states in 1870.

This is a White cap case from one ol the sparsely settled districts. Duncan was accused of pilfering smullquantitiesof grain from his neighborsto nse in spring planting. One said he saw Duncan stealing his grain and notified others. Twenty masked men rode up to Dun can's at night and were met by his wife-. They started to raze Duncan's sod house when he announced from his hiding place that he would come out. As he did so the party riddled him with bulletB. A LEGACY TO DEMOCRATS.

It Will Almost impoanlble For j the Next Coiift-reaa to Not Create a Deficiency In the Treasury. Washington, March 27. Senntor Francis M. Cockrell, of Missouri, said to a correspondent of the New York Herald: "Of course there will be opportunities for retrenchment in the net congress. I am very much afraid, however, that the ag gregate of the retrenchment will not lie as much as the people will npoct If there is a disappointment in this regard it will be due to the extravagant legisla tion ot the last songress. 1 he etlects ol that extravagance will be felt by the dcmocratsoftlienexthouse, They will be compiled to make appro priations to carry out the laws ot last session.

Dowell, a well-to-do tanner and state treasurer of the Farmers' ulliance, of Arkansas, was buncoed out of $3,000 yesterday by three sharpers. It was the same old game. Capt. Dowell loaned one of the men money with which to cover a wager on a game of cards made by an apparent stranger. The stranger did not finish the game, but put the money in his valise, drew his pistol as though he were goini! to shoot, and departed. His where abouts is unknown.

Riven movements ot the colored element of the population during the last half century. An inspection of the tables make it evi dent, says the bulletin, that there has been no extended movement ot this ele ment since the time of the civil war. In deed, with the exception of the District of Columbia, the border states appear to have lost rather thnn gained, and during inc mat uccuuc tocre ucvuiucn pcrccpti hie a southward movement of the col ored element from the border states into those bordering the Gulf, particularly into Mississippi and Arkan.as, where they have increased proportionately to the whites. Let tne states under con sideration be divided into two groups. The first comprising Delaware, Mary land, District of Columbia, Vir ginia, West Virginia, North Caro lina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri nnd Kansas, and the second South Carolina, Georgin, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texaa nnd Arkansas. Now. the increase of the whites in the first of these eroups from 1880 to 1890 was at the rate rate ol 22 per cent., while that of the colored element wai but 5.5 per cent. In the second of these groups the rate of increase of the whites was 31.8 Cer cent., while that of the colored was ut 19.1 per cent. In the first group the number of colored to 100.000 whites diminished between 1880 and 1890 from 26.701 to 23.088, or 13.5 percent., while in the second group it diminished from 81.458 to 73.611. or only 9.6 per cent. There i therefore a perceptible tendency southward of the colored people, which, while by no means powerful, has resulted in drawing a notable proportion of that element from the border states and in producing in two of the far Southern states a more rapid increase ot tne col' ored element than of the white. who will not draw any money from the: senate cash box until next December. One of the first mentioned class is David ! B. Hill, senntor elect from New York, who has not had his creden tials presented to the senate,' and his name is not, therefore, on the secretary's list. Senator I'almcr must go without his salarv for eight months also, because he was not elected until after the senate adjourned. This is the case also with Mr Frit on, of California.
