This will not work. RADICAL OROANalIA VEhIASUJtI)htfem selves iftia n ft of' pious frenzy over the charge that Hancock In 1877 ofTbr to back Tildien in case of a row. The facts are that before the organization of the Electoral Comomissioni when it w~as a question whether the President of the Sente or Congress should counut the v'otes, General Sherman wrote to Hancock to know wvhat his v'iews were. Hancock Is said to haveo writ teln very frankly that if the Presidlent oif thue SenaiICte houl d declare ii laves el(etd :11 id if Congl 11'Ss shol d decar.e for 1' Tihlen*11( 'na Tih(ln shiould tauke fthe oath of otlice, ini that case lhe tvould be free to follIow is conivictions and would mnot assuredly back Trildenu. A fter the 3d of' March he would pay no0 aittenitionu to Grnt's o-rders, any moure than tholase of any otli' private eilizen. This gave the Republicans a scare(, anid It wats conteml)ated to send .lnumeock to San Francisco. But the Electoral Commiissiont averted the tronbhle. It is generally agreed, ex capt hy the p)iotus organs aforesaid, that I hancock's position reflected credit on lh i ber' tha 111otherwise, shiowinig tiunt. he hadl liteial opiionsi and1( dared i unertL tem . As s,oon, however, as lilaye ha~Id beeni inan;;uLirat ed, Hlan cock ackno1w ledlged his auithiority and was thle firs.t armuy ofileer to paly hlis respeiQc to himi.

ThJe former(' fixedt lie populhatin of I he State at. 705,000, while the iatter' made It 925, 03. in 1870 the eunmerators were paid by tihe day and as they were usually Ignorant and dishettest, they Mnade most inlcomlete retuins.- The State Census of 187.5 has genOrAfly beeni conisidered too )iberal.- Inl the past flye years, howvever, a large in.. crease of population has been n1)de1 by Mr'ths; while a number of South aolinisjj who went WVest just after the Wa;' and were not enumerated in 1870, have returned home. Whtites have Immigrated to tahe upper Counties ulnd blacks have also enmeut in neom Georgia and North Carolina f so that the State should s how a large ratio of inecrdase over tihe mlanlfest'ly absurd tensus of 1870. * The nonulatinn nfe Stte, aeI hing Ili 1800 lias been as follows: First ceesus 846,000; second 416,000; third, 602,000; fourih, 6$1,0&; ft1, 1004,00;0 sixth, 668,000; seventh, 703,. 000; eighth, 705,000. Between A860 and 1870 a gain of less than two thot sand was reported, and the war was assigned as a cause. While this did cause some diminutiot in the rate of Ifcrease, it by n bleans accounted for th"se figures. The normal rate voul have given the Stale at least 776,000 or 800,000. The population of South Carolina in 1860 consisted of about I 300,000 whites and 400,000 blacks. The drain upon the State by the War lasted only about thren years, as little wos done In 1861. DutiNg that time the blacks living lhre had nothing to interfero with their nourm1al rate of in ,irease, wIle a large number of them were brought lback to South Carolina from the West. The losses fell uponl the whites aliost exclusive ly, who numbered only about three le'venlths o1 the populationl. Even among the whites the number of births during ile war was considerable, as is shown by the number of whites now between the ages of fifteen and twenty years. The chief loss lay in the casualties of the war, which can be estimated from the military reports. The number of persons who were kill ed or died ii consleqienec of military operations should] at least have been couiterhalmed by the sui-plus in crease of whites anuid lAwks taken to gther, so thilt It see fis iir to Climli nate the three years of the war alto gether. This letavs seven years ill the dellcde for an) ilcrease, inl I% hich 4ine it is the veriesi brsh to say that the State gained but two thousand. WeC ourselves, in a casual glanee at thd eisuis of 1870 have discovered ani ellrro (if 1121 in the population of Fair field alone. by anl omission to ald the poplillation of' Winisboro to litht of Towtiship Four in which it was situ lte(l. thus allowinig only' 1554 to the whole township, or dily .1:30 to the "wnship exclusive of the towi. As :oth the censuses of 1875 and P880 lix this population at over fifteen h1un1 dred excAlusive of Wilmisbot-o, it is evident that, the Federal census )1u11 dered. Ilow many similar errors were made no one knows. The un11deresti mate of 1870 will, however, make it appear (hat there has been a large in Orease in tiht popilation of 1he" State in the past decade. The old sayinlg, ''a poor mall for children,'' has beeln fully exeinplified, and while tle State has not gained much in wvealti, we be lieve it will 'hoiv ii reinarkale iII. crease iln biiths. North iCarolia chims the pahm ill this re-Spect, but Sothil Carolina is not prepared to yield it without an offii-1 colant. TiE APPEA L TO THE CODE.
