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

A fter the 3d of' March he would pay

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

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

4ine it is the veriesi brsh to say that
the State gained but two thousand.
