THE CiiOOKfcD CEXSl'S. ! / fi INCREASING SUSPICION THAT IT iS FRAUDULENT. Extraordinary Inaccuracies In All I'arts j of the Country?A Scandalous State of j j Thine* iu the Census wince?mn n ut j Investigated. ^ The glaring inaccuracies in the IN- i publican census are attracting t Jio at- j tention of the entire country. If there were a Democratic House of Representatives now a searching investigation of the whole business would ] be certain as soon as Congress reassem- j bles. But if a gigantic fraud has been j attempted, the whole power of the liepublican party will be exerted to cover it up. r.f i~i r>f t.)u? States -LUC ? and Territories has thus far been an- i nounced, and it is already apparent that I the total population of the country will! be given out from 2,000,000 to 3,(XX?,< kjO } less than what it really is. There has been a failure in the majority of the States to ascertain the real number of people living there, and the failure is detected in Republican States as well as in Democratic States, but the net losses of the Democratic! States as compared with Republican \ States are so much greater as to indicate that there has been a plan on the I part of somebody to systematically un- j derstate the number of persons in such | a way as t.n franriulpnt.ly ra/lnto the j number of Democratic Members of the House during the next decade by at j least ten. We believe that when all the facts are known it will be found that there j has been actual fraud in Xew York' City, and we are sorry to say that the character of the men "at the head of the Census Bureau is such as to render it by no means impossible that they have consented to this fraud for the purpose of benefitting the Republican party. If any one wants to know the character of some of the men who are controlling the census work let him read the insolent letter of Mr. A. F. Childs, the chief clerk of the Census Bureau, to Mayor Grant, of New York. There is ample evidence that the population of 2s ew York city is atjleast 2C0.0U) more than reported by Porter's census enumerators. The authorities of the city respectfully ask for an official recount and are insulted in the public prints by these census ollicials for preferrins their request. Now Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brooklyn and other cities are demanding a recount and the Census Bureau evidently believes that it' the request is granted in one case it will lead to a recount of the entire country. That such a recount may yet be had "is by 110 means impossible." If the country shall become convinced that a partisan fraud has been attempted even a Republican Congress will be forced to order the work to be done all over again, under a competent non-partisan direction. The incidental result will be a tremendous blow at Republican supremacy in the Nation. Last February we published a table showing the estimated population of the several States and Territories according to the method of estimating as employed by the actuary of the U. S Treasury, Mr. J. S. McCoy. Below we give the estimate and the results of i'orter s count in uemocrauc states (giving only thousands): Estimated Porter's count.

At present there is so much reason to suspect the integrity of the count that the question is likely to grow into an important political issue, if the Republicans attempt to prevent such an investigation. We alluded last week to some of the facts relative to the management of ? .. . the Censns xJureauthat are well known to a good many people iu Washington. L We believe that in the expenditure of the money appropriated by Congress sP there has be.en a vast amount of corruption, which will be discovered and exposed in due season. Keports come to us every day which convince us that Porter's subordinates, it' not I'orter himself, are making a great deal of money out of their places. We know that men who had buildings to rent, which were fitted for th? oornnnHnn nt the Census Bureau, were approached arid asked how much they would pay to secure a lease,and if a committee of Congress were to make the inquiry it would probably find that money was thus paid by some of the owners of the buildings now rented for the Census Bureau. We belived that money has been corruptly made by census ofiicials out of the electrical machines of which so j much has been written in the news- j papers. AVe are informed that no less i than 30 persons now employed in the I r Census Oilice are compelled to pay a j part ~T>f their salaries everv I. month to a person who has intimate ! relations with both i'orter and Chief } In view of the fact that Cliilds while j chief clerk of the Government Printing Ofllce amassed a fortune of over *2o.th ? , which he subsequently lost in a busi- ; ness venture iu ihis city there is noth- i ingsurprising about this report. There , used to be a splend.d opportunity to i make money in the Government i'rint in? Ullice. and favored contractors paid j large sums to the men in that ollice who favored them. There are graver rumors of humor- g ality on the part of certain persons in i the Census Bureau, which we prefer t not to repeat at this time. The cur- ;i rent gossip of Washington if it were a yeriiied would certainly lead to the ii immediate retirement from any em- n ployment under the government o!' v Mr. Robert I'. Poter. and a number t of the men whom he has employed in responsible places in the Census Ollice. v " - - ttisgsummatak r^rcrmnz.?^MwaaoQi JCTII ytfy'^TS-T-xr^^-xct SWALLOWED BY THE WAVES. ! i i i:vjc Story of S'.ipvvreok <?i!

Tiie absolute increase of the popuI lation in ten years was 12.32-1,757. and the percentage of increase 24.57. In 1870 the population was staled at 55S.o71. According to these figures the --i- i. absolute increase ?u incucniiic 1S70 and 1>>S'J was 11,51*7, * 12. ami the percentage of increase was &J.08. ('pon their lace these ligures show that the population has increased between lNSo and IS'.hi only 727..')15 more than i>etween lb7u and 1SSU, while the rate of increase has apparently diminished from 30.08 to 21.57 per cent. If these figures were received from correct data, they would be indeed disappointing. Such reduction in rate of increase in face of the enormous immigration during the past ten years would I argue a great diminution in the l'ecunJ!*" or n r-nvrnsnmifl ing increase :n its (team rule. These figures are, however, easily explained when the character of the data is underi stood. It is a well known Tact, having been demonstrated by an extensive anil thorough investigation, that the census of 1ST0 was grossly delicient in the Southt rn States, so much so as not only to aive an exaggerated rate of increase of the population between lsToand !>>*!? in these States, but toett'eet very materially the rate ??f increase in the country at large. 'Ihese omissions were not the fault nor were they within the control of the Census ollice. The census of 1870 was taken under a law which .Superinteni dent Walker characterized as "clumsy. antiquated ;ind barbarous." The Census TsilH-e had no power over its enumerators save a barren protest, and this rient was questioned in some quarters. In referring1 to these omissions the Superintendent of the tenth census said, in his report in relation to the taking of the census in South Carolina: "It follows, on the conclusion of the highest authority, either that the census of 1870 was grossly defective in re1 gard to the whole State or some considerable parts thereof, or else that the ; ct-nsu^ of 1-SbO was fraudulent." Those, therefore, who believe in the ; accuracy and honesty of the tenth cen> sus?anil that was thorough' established?must accept the other alternal. ti ve offered by General Walker, namely, that the ninth census was "grossly de fective." What was true of .South Carolina was also true, in a greater or \ less degree, of all the Southern States. There is, of course, no means of as certaining accurately the extent of these omissions, but in all probability they amount to'not less than 1,o<"o,00a 1 There is but little question that the population of the United States in INTO " was at least 4O.IKW0U instead of 3-S,1 538.371, as stated.

Nov. i'. -Mr John ' F. Lomas reached this city last evening i, abuut s: 1 r> and immediately sought ! i out Slier ill' Kowaii, to whom ne jjiivt- j information ol' a horrible murder in i j iJichland County during the afternoon. I lie was seen by a 11i:<;istj:u represent-1' ative, and lie told the following story: !' The victim was Miss Florence | Ilornsby, the youngest daughter ol' Mr. (!. Wesley Ilornsby. who lives about seven miles North* of this city, near Crane Creek and about a mile from the AVinnsboro road. Miss Ilornsby was about 10 years of age, of medium height and well proportioned i .. nrjri nf iipr jtcrpr - shortlv before y XVI ?0.. ?. o clock \Miss Iloni'sby left her elder sister in the house and went to. a spring about two hundred yards from the house for some purpose or other. She | was absent for a.longer time than was necessarj for her to perform her task, but the occurrence was not seriously thought of. About 5:30 a colored boy was sent to a lield to obtain some com, and passing close to the spring he made a fearful i discovery. The de;id body of Miss j Ilornsby lay face upwards oh the grass i " " n-ifli flip i a lew yaras irom uic >? ? throat cut from ear to <s:u-. The boy, trrror-stricken, tfcd to the house, where he told what lie had seen. The alarm was quickly sounded and the neighborhood aroused. On investigation it was found that the boy's story was true. The body of the girl was found lying ou its back, with a horrible gash in* the throat. The clothing was disarranged, and there was evidence | that a nameless crime had been attempted. The girl had made a fearful struggle for herlife and her honor, for the condition of the grass gave mute evidence of that. A paddle, such as is always found at springs in the country, was lying a few feet from her, stained with .her blood. The struggle had lasted several minutes at least, and her assailant, finding the girl could not be overcome by brute force, and apprehending a serious result should her cries be heard, ended her life in the manner described. A elump of brush prevented any one from seeing the murder and her cries, if such were uttered, were too faint to be heard. The murderer evidently failed to accomplish his purpose; he disappeared without leaving a possible clue lor the officers of the law to work on. Mr. Lomas lives about 3u0 yards I from where the murder accurred, and J he had several hands at work in a cotton lield less than that distance from the spring. These hands heard some one running through the woods adjacent to the spring, heard him trip and fall, and heard a rail break as heclimbed a fence. ; | The colored boy who discovered tne murder says that lie saw a burly negro in the road a short distance from the spring a few moments previous to the j hour the girl started on her errand. Instant search was made for the liend, but no trace of him could be found, and after fully an hour had been spent. Mr. Lomas came to this city to notify Sheriff Rowan and the Coroner, for the body had been left in the lield. There Vp.q trrpat excitement in the vicinity of the murder, -and search for the villian was maintained until a mtc hour. Sheriff Rowan notified the Coro nor and he will take the case in hand early this morning, out ne nas, at preaent, but little hope of success. Miss Ilornsby was a bright, intelligent | young lady, and of good personal appearance. " She was greatly liked by all ' who knew her. and her sad death "is a great blow to her friends.?Register. The Register, of Tuesday, says: f There is but little change as yet in the ? investigation of the murder of Miss s Florence Ilornsby. which occurred Saturday afternoon near Crane Creek. The : details of the horrible affair were told in j The Register of Sunday and the story . created great excitement.. Sunday " morning Coroner 1 loach, his constable, n- iVonl- r:roon Dpnnt.v SllC'.' iff JIollO ' way and a number of citizen^ left Co 1 lumbia for the scene of the murder. r Arriving there the Coroner began in* vestigation and this description of the premises will make the story to follow 1 more clear: 1 Mr. Ilornsby's house is located on a . byroad running oil' from the Winnsboro . road about one and a half miles, making : it about eight miles from the city. It is . situated in a cluster of live houses. all f vjftjji calling distance of each other. The main road runs clue j'.asi <uiu _ur. " llornsbys house sits 011 the summit of a ) hill which slopes down to the West into 1 a small valley, with another house on ) the opposite liill. In the valley about > 200 feet from the road is a spring where ' the people of the neighborhood do their clothes washing. Running by this spring at right angles to the main road and in a due North direction is a road that leads to the residence of Mr. Loomis. 1 which is well back off the road. In the bottom, between the spring and the j main roau. is some bushes, and from [ the spring runs a branch leading to a ; cluster of pine woods Northeast of Mr. > Loomis's house. This branch crosses tne road and llows in :i Northeastern direc^ tion. Thus the view of tlie spring is L unintercepted from the three houses, 5 only there is a cornlield running from ; the Loom is road up to Mr. Ilornsby's I house, but the growth is low. ; Quite a number of those living in the ,. vicinity, had gathered, and after a long , search enough men were secured to j compose the Coroner's jury, which was ; organized with John Stack as foreman. . The jury inspected the scene and search was unsuccessfully made for clues. ; Tracks of a id an were found, but were lnst in flip wciods. The bodv was then : examined by :Bt. (Jreen. and he reported as follows:' The murdered girl was i about 1(5 years of age. well developed. ; about .5 feat'two inches in height. Her : features were not at all prepossessing but she had a line he^d^f hair. She was dressed neatly, and a black Jersey i and an apron. " Iler hands were tightly clenched by her side. i The wound that caused her death was 1 a stab in the left side of her throat j which had cut into the windpipe and severed one of the branches of thecaro- I tid artery. Death resulted from loss of blood. The wound was ail inch and a half deep. There were several bruises about the head. The jury then heard the evidence of Belle Ilornsby, the sister of the murdered girl, anil she told how she found her sister lying on the hillside struggling spasmodically. When she reached her. Florence was unable to speak though she made several efforts to do so. Witness was told of the murder by "Duke" Ilaynes. the colored boy. who made the discovery of tlie body. I laynes was the second witness heard, and he said he was going to a lield to obtain some corn, lie heard a scream. n-l.fn .1 t'rnm tliH crnek I but thought nothing of it as the children were frolicking in that vicinity quite irequently.

Saw Miss j Ilornsby lying on the ground. Run to i her and saw her condition. Then started to the house. Then followed the story I of the finding of the body. Ilaynes is about eighteen years of age, quite dark I and of rather sullen appearance. Ilis | lirst name is Wade. Suspicion was arcsed as the boy tesj tilied. He was asked where his "knife ! was and he said he had given it to Wilj liam Alexander. lie said he was going | to the corniield, whereas two rows, one IHfes* - !! !

He said lie had dropped'* lis basket at the peach tree and it was I ] "ouiid near where the body lay with corn |1 n it. * | ; The buy was evidently frightened and j is statements varied somewhat. < Alexander was the next witness and ! le said he borrowed Ilaynes's knife in )rder ti; see if there were blood stains j' )n it. : Ilaynes was carefully examined and j: ihere was nothing of an incriminating ' nature found about his clothing. Tin- Coroner ordered Haynes arrested | aiul I y Sheriff Hollo way brought j him to li.;- city and locked him up at the i County jail after .Sheriff Kowan had examined him. The inquest was adjourned until Thursday morning. Sunday night about midnight, a negro named Robert Max was arrested at Mr. Palmer's piace, about a mile and a half from where the murder occurred. The only evidence against him was that he had been seen coming towards the city with his clothing under his arm. and lie ' ? <1 -- -.l.x Tfr. came home late uie nignt ueiuie. nc was lodged in the jail in this city. lie claimed to know nothing aboiit the alTair, and after a strict examination he was discharged about u o'clock yesterday afternoon by order of the Sheriff.

Y., Nov. 1.?One of the most terrible murders ever known in the history of the country was committed at Akron, twenty-four miles East of this city, last night. A young woman named Sarah McMillen, aged 19, formerly living in ]5ulTalo, enticed Delia Brown, aged 0 years, and Xellie May Conners, aged 10, or. to the Akron Cement Works narrow guage railroad bridge, a height of sixty-live feet over Murie Creek. All of "a sudden she pushed Delia Brown over the side of the bridge, and then grabbed Xellie May Conners and hurled her into a precipice below. Xellie was instantly killed, but fortunately little Xellie Brown lives to tell the tale. Her legs and arms are broken, and although terribly-bruised it is thought she will recover. Last night the citizens of Arkron searched for the missing girls, and found them at about 2 o'clock this morning. Tor several hours little Delia had laid on the stones at the side of the creek unable to move. She said to Constable Jiurns that Sarah had hard work in pushing Xellis Conners over the bridge, and came very near falling herself. After committing the a^-t, Sarah returned to a Mr. Brown's house, and j said. "I am going away; perhaps you will not see me again,'' at tne same time extending her hand. Mrs. Brown | thought she was fooling, when Sarah [ again spoke up, "Well, if you won't shake hands, all right." Her actions excited the curiosity of j the family. She'started for the bridge over the mill dam, about ten feet of j height, and arrivihg at the place, stepped between the iron braces and I jumped in the water, which is several feet deep. Simon Jirown saw her and ran to the spot and saved her from drowning. No reason is assigned for the terrible deed. It is said "to be a crazy act. She is in custody, but will not talk. Another Cotton Picker. Vvi.rv mior> in u while snmp one in vents a cotton picker and the l'act is duly horulflf l thodgn lh?> par^r?, bllt after the machine is tested generally it is found to be impracticable. A few weeks ago we published the fact that a man in Chicago had invented a picker, and recently the Memphis Commercial says the members of the Cotton Exchange of that city were deeply interested in a small bale of cotton that had been picked by the Todd cotton harvester and picker, and nearly all agreed that the sample was better than the result of handpicking The machine had been at wor< on J. J. Glover's planx *-- i 1 ^.(1 fi?Am AT AIV* nVtie lltUUU, SC\eui/CCll imico UUIII on the Mississippi Valley road, and gathered an average of 1,200 pounds per hour although its capacity is claimed to be 2,000 pounds. It would take half a dozen darkies all day to equal the machine's work of one hour. Mr. Todd, the inventer and builder of the picker is a Southern man and has been working on his patent for eight years. The machine will not be put in general use this year, but next year several hundred of them will he placed throughout the South. A planter will not be able to purchase one, but will pay a yearly rent for its use. We wish the farmers of Orangeburg County had about one hundred of Mr. Todd's ma chines at work, as the fields are yet white with cotton. The National Democrat. The National Democrat which was established in Washington one year ago by Edmund Hudson, with the endorsement of many of the great leaders of the party, has entered upon its second year with a circulation of 40,000 copies each week. This is perhaps the largest circulation ever attained by a weekly newspaper during the lirst year of its existence. The National Democrat occupies a lield of its own, and one that too long remained unfilled. It gives a complete record of political information, including the most important speeches that are delivered by democratic leaders in congress and on the stump. It is rendering the party an important service, and should be read by all who wish to k-pfn informed in regard to nublic affairs and who mean to" defeat" the wicked scheme of Republican leaders to secure permanent control of the government, in spite of the fact that they are. and must remain, the minority party in this country. Is This H White State? Washington. I). C.,Oct.31.?In 1880, according to the United States census, the population of South Carolina was 995.577, of which 391,105 were whites, and 004.472. including Indians, Chinese and negroes, were colored. The population of South Carolina today is 1,047,1<>1. consisting of 513.3*59 white and *534.788 colored, including In | dians. Chinese and negroes, in me last ten years, on account of the continuous [ movement of colored colonists to Mis! sissippi and Arkansas, the increase of the colored population has only been 30.3H?, while the white population has in the same time been increased by an addition- of 121,2<'.4. For every 20.000 of increase in white population there lias been but 5,000 increase in black population. The Law and Lotteries. jn i;\v York. Oct.

Va., Xov. 1.?An affair occurred in Clarksburg to-day which may result in the death of two of the leading men in the State. W. F. Richards, editor of the Clarksburg Telegram, published in his paper this week severe reilections on the character of the Hon. John Basil, one of the most prominent lawyers 01 me ouue, tmu counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and a leading Democratic candidate. To-day Basil met Richards and shot him, seriously wounding him. Richards returned the lire, dangerously wounding Basil. Basil may die. Richards is chairman of the Republican county committee. The shooting is the result of an old personal feud. This is the ihird time Editor Richards has been shot on account of the too free use of his pen. it 5s a vervDonular error to assume that there are more Democrats South than North of Mason and Dixon's line. Speaker Reed fell into that error in his Rochester speech. The Atlanta Conj stitution by collecting the figures of the Democratic vote in the last Presidential election shows that this is a big mistake. That in fact the Northern Democrats outuumber their Southern brethren almost two to one. The twenty-two Northern States recorded 3,<317,989 votes against 1.920,244 in the sixteen Southern States. One Democrat South, however, counts more than a half-dozen North, so that we are the biggest end of the party, in reality, after all. I'lanns and Orcans. N. W. Trump, 134 Main Street, Columbia, S.
