The most striking feature in the
census returns of the United States
for the last decade is the great fulling
off of the per centum increase of the
Myt population between I860 and
1870, compared with the periods be
tween 1850 and 1860, and between
1840 and 1850. The usual increase
ptr ctntwn of the black population
for e*ch of the preceding decades
was between 25 and 30.' The increase
beMean M60 and 1870, is less t han
Mpsr cant. •
We call the attention of our read-

the Savannah A’ewe, which will be

“An Old Merchant” writes a short
notice in relation to the resolutions
proposed hy Mr. Nore roes to the City
Council.
He says th$ Resolutions are not
property understood, and proposes to
change their phraseology as follows:
■'Baton the city of Atlanta pays bar
money or bands, liar* an agreement with
the Company, that this city shall stand on
tlm aae footing as to the prtoe of
heights on said road, aa all other towns
within two hundred miles.”
The writer says these words cover
the whole idea—the entire length,
breadth and depth of the proposed
measure.
He declares that the sole object of
the measure is—not to give Atlanta
any undue advantage at all; hut
simply to put her on an equal footing
with rival cities, and not to be dis
criminated against, to her disadvan
tage.
He alleges that all the roods cen
tering nt this point, except the State
Road, is controled bg rival cities, and
fW we are discriminated against in
the price of freights, to their undue
advantige> which has always crippled
Atlanta, and will forever do so, re
pressing our prosperity and clogging
our effort*; and that the Georgia
Western is the last chance for us to
get a fair showing and lie put on an
equal footing.
For these considerations, “An Old
Merchant” urges the adoption of
some such measure as that proposed.
The Ce»<M of 1870.
Forney's Press has the following
comparison of the present oensus witli
that of 1800:
The increase of the aggregate pop
ulation of all the States and Territo-
riee during the ten years is 6,902,420,
and the rate of increase is above
twenty-one and nine-tenths per cent.
The increase of the whole white imp
utation is 6,591,793, and the rate of
increase is 24.4 percent.
The increase of the white popula
tion in the Northern or originally
Free Stales is 5,137,848, and the rate
of increase is 27.4 per cent-
The increase of the white popula
tion in the Southern States is M35,-
*01, and the rate of increase is 16.6
per cent
The aggregate increase of the block
pQpnI^.inn ill the United States is
338,385, and the rate of increase' is
7aftwr cent.
The increase of the block imputa
tion in the Southern Stutes is 188,963.
and the increase is 4.6 per oent.
The increase Of the black popula
tion in the Northern States is 119,-
192, and the rate of increase is 52.7
per eebt
The increase of the whole popula
tion in the Territories, including the
District of Columbia, is 184,082, and
the rate of inerease is 74.9 per cent.
This statement refers to the Territo
ries .which remained in that condition
in lfeSO. Nebrsekaand Nevada, which
were-Terri tones > n 1600, had in the
meantime become States, and are
therefore ranked as such iu the table
and in these comparisons.
The increase of the white popular
flotfjn the Territories is 154,315, and
the rate of increase is 66.5 per cent.
The increase of the black popula
tion th the Territories is 30,3*7. and
the Ate of incrcaae is 208.9 per cent.
An inspection of the tabtes will
show that the considerable Increase

with the old State, there is exhibited

The Ohla Tornado.
A Dayton dispatch of the 9th, to
the Cincinnati Oosette, gives the fol
lowing particulars, which are the (Id
lest we have seen, of the recent torna
do:
Dayton and vicinity was visited this
afternoon with the most terrific storm
ever known in this region. It came from
doe north, and for naarly twenty min
ute* blew a hnrrieane. The following
are among the moat serious disasters:—
The large German Lutheran obmeb, on
Third near Madison, wss blown down
while the Banday-aohool wsa in progress
Two men and a woman were buried is
the mine and taken out dead. Several
persons were hurt, four seriously. Moat
of the teachers and the children escaped
into the street in the rain when they
heard the timbers cracking. The buil
ding is in utter ruins.
The bridge over the Miami, at Wash
ington street, oapsjted into the river, and
was crushed to fragments. A large num
ber of persons were in the bridge for
shelter, and all made their esesoe *x-
crusued to
eept three boys, who were
death.
A portion of the upper story of the
main building of the Southern Asylum
was carried off, and four patients in the
convalescent ward seriously injured; two
thought to be fatally, the otherauttgfatly.
The damage to the building will proba
bly reaoh fe,000 or 84,000.
A large double brick building on Green
street had tha root and portion of tbs
nppsr story oarried off, and Mrs. Hel-
mer, an old invalid, was seriously hurl
A portion of the roof was oarried off
the Third street Presbyterian church,
and the tower moved nearly one foot out
of place. The organ was also damaged
by tiie flood of water whloh earn* in at
the leak iu the tower.
The spire of the Rev. Mr. Kemper's
church on St. Glair street was twisted out
of the perpendicular and threatens o
tall. The tower of the Baptist oharoh
on Main street was somewhat rooked,
and several heavy stone projections on
the First Presbyterian church were blown
down. The Chapel, in North Dayton,
wm carried off its foundations. The
heavy ooraioe and roof stripped off Geb-
bart’s large building on the oorner of
Third and St Glair streets, and a Urge
portion of the root from Brown A Go.'a
wheel and spoke manufactory, was oar
ried off, and portions of the upper walls
were blown down, crashing in roofs and
doing other damages.
Shedding, fencing, valuable fruit and
shade tret*, tall chimneys, smoke stacks,
and everything moveable were prostrat
ed and demolished. The sum total of
the damage will be heavy, but there are
no means of arriving at it to-night.
Frightful stories of the storm oome to
us from the rural regions, but we have
not had them verified. A good deal of
damage was also done by water. The
tempest passed along in narrow strips,
and did great damage where it struck.
Nothing like it ever transpired in this
valley in the memory of the oldeet inhab
itants.
A dispatch from Xenia of the same
date, to the samo paper, says
A florae storm of wind and thunder
passed over this plaoe this evening. It
— ntuint Q n'nlfUilr mi til rl
oommenoed about 8 o'clock, with dark,
heavy olouds advancing rapidly from the
west and driving before them vast quan
tities of dust, leaves, branches and pieces
of lumber. Immediately afterward a
whistling wind, blowing apparently
straight as an arrow, rushed along the
earth, dashing down trees, unroofing
small buildings, prostrating fences, ana
flying everything moveable about in the
liveliest style. The storm, so far as 1
have heard, was the heaviest in the
neighborhood of tho of the soldiers’ or
phans' home. About thirty large trees
upon the grounds belonging to the homo
were prostrated, some being broken on
like pipe stems and otherwise being torn
up by the roots. One tree fell screws the
oorner of one ol the oottages, carrying
away a small portion of the roof and crea
ting considerable alarm among the in
mates, but doing no other damage. The
new board fenoe around the cultivated
part of the grounds was crushed in a half
a doaen places. A rain then sat in and
foil fiercely for an hour, the high wind
prevailing the whole time. The clouds
broke away towards evening, and there
was a Bunset of great grandeur and mag-
nifloeooe. The telegraph operator at this
plaoe informs me that the wires are pro*

The New York Financial Chroni
cle regards the advance in the gold
premium as temporary. Until re
cently the decline has been steady
since 1809. The export movement,
which is on excuse for the advance,
is that tho Bank of England now in
creases its gold reserve to a higher
point than ever before, and is still
increasing. >1 une 21 the reserve was
£20,408,277, against 21 1-2 million
last year, and 19 1-2 million in 1869.
There is no evidence to show that this
inerease is to be kept up, and little
doubt that such a policy is necessary
to the Bank of England, for the safe
ty of that institution requires that it
should repose on a much larger basis
of coin than before. It is tho belief
that an enlarged aggregate of specie
will be held by the bank, which has
givon, with other forces, an impulse
u> our gold market. It is argued that,
in large part, the coin required is to
be imported into England from this
country. But there is no doubt that
this policy, which is attributed to the
Bank of England, would have an in
fluence of counteraction. Says the
Clironiclo:
For a quarter of a century the set
tled practioe lias been that the bank
shall not go abroad to buy gold, bnt
refrain from all interference in that
way with the regular movements of
commerce, which cause gold to flow
into or to flow out of the coffers of
the bonk. When the gold balance
of the bank runs too low, the old plan
was to increase the rate of interest^
and to go on increasing it until gold
began to flow into the hank. On the
other hand, when the gold reserve
was too targe, the opposite plan was
adopted, and the rate of interest was
lowered, the process being continued
until gold ceated to accumulate.
The Bank of France, by suspend
ing specie ]layments, holds ft* coin
%erve of twenty millions sterling
[uitc aloof from the movements of
commerce, and the international
banking and commerce of Europe are
resting chiefly on the reserves or the
Bank of England. Henoe the infer
ence that that institution, feeling its
obligations, will strengthen itself,
and will raise its reserve to thirty-flrc
or forty millions sterling. Such are
the arguments used in support of the
opinion that our export demand for
gold will increase rather than fall off.
As to the rise in gold, tiased on the
condition of ourpniicr currency, it is
almost certain that the fifty millions
of hank notes authorized at the close
oflast saasion will not all be issued,
lift to the present time the applica
tions for new banks will barely reach
twenty millions of dollars. And even
if the whole should be issued, the
equilibrium of the currency will be
kept steady by the retirement and
cancellation or an equivalent amount
of three per cent certificates. The
aggregate of our paper money circu
lation is too large, and the excessive
issues cause the existing depreciation.
Bnt it is also true that from the ex
tension of railroads, telegraphs and
other business facilities, tne country
requires annually a larger and larger
amount of money to carry on its busi
ness. Thus we are growing up to
specie payments, and the progress of
the country, North, South ana West,
on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes
and in the Mississippi Valley, is esti
mated to have so enlarged the area
for the use of currency as to be equiv
alent to a reduction of at least 26 per
; last
cent in the premium daring the
five years. The true method to re
duce the gold premium undoubtedly
is to enlarge the field for the use of
currenoy by expanding the trade of
the oountryana developing its indus
trial activity.
Uvtai in the Past.
“For Mr. Stephens’ culture, ability
and intentions we have very great re-
speot. But hie point of observation is
bad. He dwells in a Georgia village.
Eta is surrounded by old associations, old
habiti, old notions, old books, and is,
himself, an old man, much out of the
current of that fresh and generous vitality
whioh is beginning to pour its rich blood
into the politics of the period. Mr.
Stephens' salutation reads neatly and
drearily. It oarries us backward, not for
ward, and whioh wants to get away from
passion, from violence, from failure,
which wants to unite itself to a new Une,
whioh wants to oat itself loose from a fes
tering oorpee.”
The above is from the Louisville
(Ky.) Courier-Journal, of the 21st
ult That paper has departed from
the faith with the new departures,
and has joined the ranks ol’ the so-
called progressionists. We belong to
the old fogy party, and believe in liv
ing in the past. We wish to go back
with Mr. Stephens to the goud old
days. We wisn to recover lost liber
ty and lost rights. The fundamental
principles of liberty anil good gov
ernment are as old us the human race,
and yet this new party would have ns
forget them because they are old. Be
cause Mr. Stephens, with his gigantic
intellect, is an old man, he must not
be listened to. Because he lives in a
Georgia village, he must not be heard.
Because he speaks of the past, and
goes back to first principles and tries
to check his countrymen in their wild
and headlong rush to ruin, it is said
that he carries us backward and not
forward.
Well, personal liberty and the nat
ural rights of man are old things.
Rivers of blood have flowed in the
past for their purchase and mainten
ance, and will probably flow again,
and the stream will never dry up till
the end of of time. It is the old
contest between liberty and good
govenunent on the one side, and des
potism on the other.
It is time for all men to pause and
look back a little. It is especially
time for all who profess and coil
themselves Democrats, to pause and
look baok, and see how far they have
departed from first principles, and see
how rapidly they are drifting towards
absolute despotism. Wc opine that
the timo will yet come, ana that be
fore very long, when Mr. Stephens’
utterances will sound still mere
dreary in the ears of all who oppose
right and justice.— Washington ((la.)

Important Labor Decision.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court has
just made a notable decision in a suit in
stituted by a stone cutter to recover a cer
tain sum of money—five hundred dol
lars—exacted aa a penalty by the trade
union, to whioh he did not belong, for
outtiog stone in a manner oontrary to the
rules of the union. The etone cutters
employed by him were membere of the
onion, whose regulations the employer
violated, and hence the penalty imposed.
The Coart raled that the demand woe il
legal, and that a combination and threat
to prevent workmen from beiug employ
ed waa an illegal conspiracy.
It seeips that the cotton interests of
Brasil are on the decline. While the ex
ports of this staple from Rio Janeiro in
1868 amounted' to 113,466 bales, they
were in 1889 only 45,005 bales—an enor
mous falling off—which was further re
duced in 1870, when the exports from
that port were only 17,910 (Brazilian)
bales. The exports of cotton from San
tos during last year ware 243,727 arrobas,
eras’ to Mont 18,280 ball* of 400 pounds,
whioh, added to the 17,910 bales from
Rio, makes a total export of cotton from
Brazil, for 1870, of 36,190 Brazilian boles,
whioh is less in weight than twenty-eight
thousand American bales.

The essays of MiseeS Wilbnrn and S e
Rogers were models of serious, systemat- e
ic thought.
Miss Evans' "Cupul vs. Cupidity,”
the most humorous and therefore the
most popular piece of the day. “Cu
pid,” she said, “has ignominionsly fallen
from his high estate of governing the
world. Cupidity has dethroned him in
the breast* of every lover, and asserted
hie sway with a tyrannio role.”
"Tits Passion fur Dress" was a scath
ing satire on the extrsvaganoe ol tho
times.
“Ahiludiiuirianitnn,” by Miss Howes,
waa a quaint, hnmorona essay, delivered
in a graceful, coquettish, luuuhalimt man
ner, that won the most enthusiastic ap
plause.
There were several interludes of music,
in which Miss W., of yonr oity, waa al
ways conspicuous. Their execution was
such as it has rarely been our privilege
to witness.
After the exercises were over, Dr.
Key, Bishop Pierce, and Dr. Hicks made
appeals to tbe liberality of Macon for
donations for improvements. About
8500 was raised for this purpose. Among
the contributors, we notioe yonr fellow
oitizen, Mr. E. E. Rawson, credited with
tbe sum of $50.
The election of officers of tho Endow
ment Association resulted in the selec
tion of Dr. Key as President, Judge
Jackson and Dr. Hicks, Vice-Presidents.
THE CONCERT,
which constituted the evening exercises,
was a brilliant success, and reflects un
told credit on tbe very efficient teacher,
Prof. Whitney. He eeeme to have
magic control over hie students, for by
the simple movement of the hand be
keeps a hundred voices in perfect har
mony. The solos of Misses Wight and
Renfroe deserve special mention, as they
were both encored.
By far the most popular selection of
the evening was "Johnnie Schmoker,” us
rendered by a number of pretty yonng
girls uniformed. The pantomime and
mimic representations of Johnnie’s pipe,
drum, tambour, viol, Ac., were sc
laughable that it provoked roaring, tu
multuous, prolonged, protracted, deafen
tag, thundering, riotous applause.
The Anvil Chorus, with which was com
bined some beautiful calisthenic exercises,
was admirably rendered as the breathless
attention and after-applaose abundantly
testified.
The Oratorio, “As the Heart Pants,”
by Mendelssohn Bartholdy, was very
floe, but found but little lympathy with
the audience.
The capacious chapel, seating about
one thousand, has been filled to overflow
ing on every occasion, which affords
proof of tho excellence of the perform
ance of these accomplished young ladies,
who iu our eye ore Hie indexes to a high
er and holier civilization in days to oome.

yards into a ditch. The New York
train ran off the up on to the down
track, and cut right into its vis-a-vis
and jumping from the track, bound
ed down an embankment into a ditch,
dragging with it the three foremost
cars. The cars of the other train were
completely telescoped. The furnace
of the up engine set fire to the
wrecked carriages in tiie ditch, and
they were enveloped in a mass of
flame and smoke. The shrieks of tiie
passengers were awful. Assistance
was near at band, however, and with
the aid of some men who were work
ing in the neighborhood, many were
extricated from their terrible posi
tion.
Three new cars on the train from
New York were entirely burned.—
The train from Newark contained
four cars, all full, which were teles
coped, injuring several passengers,
but none fatally. Four of the em
ployees were killed outright, vis:—
Frank Keenan, and George Hill, en
gineers of both engines; Daniel
White, brakemun, and John Rocha-
fellow, fireman. A ronndlioiiscman,
Samuel Taylor, was seriously injured,
and Wm. H ooftinin. liniki-mniL, seri

THI KILLED AND WOVXOWP
The New York Express gives tbe
following additional particulars of
the accident:
ins of the two engines was Frank
Kieroan, the engineer of tije Newark
train. He was stiff breathing,and had
both hia legs'|ind one arm broken, in
addition to numerous seaere cats and
bruises, and some bad scalds. Kier-
nan lingered until half-post ten
o’olock, when he died. Edwaraffanks,
Kieman’s fireman wm terribly scald
ed, and has, it is feared, sustained in
ternal injuries. He was, however,
slive, when the iMt dispatches Wore three imjar»
sent from the scene of the accident,
and may possibly recover. Within
a few feet of the two men just men
tioned., lay the body of the fireman
belonging to the train trom this city.
His brains had been dashed ont, and
death must have been instantaneous.
His name has not been ascertained.
Search was tbep made for qhe body
of George Hill, the engineer of the
train from this city, but for some
time the search was fruitless, and it
was hoped that he had escaped.
• At length, however, his body was
discovered buried beneath a mass of
iron and wood, from which it could
not be extracted. The head and
limbs had been crushed into a shape
less mass by the force of tho collis-
Bion, and had been afterwards partly
consumed hy fire, kindled by the
coals from the engine. After a few
futile efforts to rescue the body from
its horrible position, the passengers,
with the surviving servants of the
company, turned their attention to
saving tne property from the burning
cars.
A great number of the passengers
received painful bruises, many of
them having been thrown violently
from thqir seats to the ground; but
as they scattered soon afterwards it is
next to impossible to obtain ther
names.
A fortunate circumstance.
It appears that the train from this
city was almost entirely empty, while
the train from Newark was as usual,
crowded with business men on their
way to this city. Had both trains
been laden with passengers the loss
of life must have been fearful, as the
two first cars of the empty train tele
scoped, and any person in either of
them at the time must have been
killed or terribly injured.
WHO IB responsible P
Great indignation was expressed on
all sides at the oulpable negligence
displayed in leaving the switch open,
but the officials were unable to say to
whom the blame properly belonged.
The suggestion that the switch may
have been pnrposely misplaced by
some miscreant was not credited. In
formation of the disaster was’ imme
diately forwarded to Newark and this
city, and a special train was dis
patched to the soene to convey the
passengers back to Newark, and final
ly to bring them to this city. The
disaster has been the cause of great
excitement throughout this city to
day, the newspaper offices having
been besieged with inquirers after
friends on the tram. It u the gen
eral feeling that an investigation of
the strictest kind should be made.
