THERE has been considerable comment on the Congressional apportionment of the Southern States, and it was generally supposed that those states would lose instead of gain in population—but the census returns show that the Southern States, tinder the next apportionment, will gain Congressmen instead of losing. Estimates "based upon the earlier returns sent in by census supervisors give to Virginia population of 100,000, a gain of 400,000 since 1870 North Carolina figures out a total of 1,885.000 against 1.071,361 ten years ago. South Carolina has not increased any, nor has she lost, while Florda bus gained at least 60 per cent. Georgia shows a steady gain during the past ten years, especially in her cities. Missouri has gained since 1870, 215.325 in forty-three counties, and counts upon a total popttlatioaof 2'376,000. an increase for the State of 053,980 over the last census. It\ Tennessee the increase ranges fwm per cent, in some localities to 103 per et nu others. Kentucky estimates her population fr?m returns for forty-two counties at a total of 1,784.881 against 1,$21,011 in is to—a gain of over 400,000.

CHARGES AGAINST AETHTO. OCB Democratic friends
.are
parading
before the people what they claim to be the charges against General Arthur for his removal from the New York Collec torship. Now, in answer to these charges the Inter Ocean reviews the whole ground and says that no charges were made against Collector Arthur, and no letter of the President or the Secretary of. the Treasury conveyed such an impression The first excitement as to- the New ^ork Custom House-cases was caused by New York politicians, who sought, by indirect methods, to convince President Hayes that a change would be desirable. An inyestigation was ordered, and the com mittee reported that the Collector's office was admirably managed, and that General Arthur was a model officer, possessing the confidence of the business men of New York. At a conference early in 1877 the President intimated to General Arthur that he wished him to remain in office, and that he should not displace the appointees of General Grant except for good reasons, or in cases where the good of the service demanded a change.
At a later date the order as to office holders not taking part in campaign work was issued Mr. Cornell, Naval Officer at New York, was at that time chairman of the New York Republican Committee, and accepting Postmaster General Key's interpretation of the order, he preferred to no£ resign his place as Chairman or give up his legitimate political work. Mr. McCormicfc, and others holding positions on National or State committees, did re sign, however, and the action of Mr. Cornell was made to appear as defiance of the President's order.
The President, placed in an embarrassing position, decided to remove Cornell, but Secretary Evarts objected to this on the ground that Mr Cornell's prominence as a politician would cause the move to be misunderstood. He suggested that all the principal officers of the Custom House be notified that their resignations Were desired. This, lie argued, would relieve the President from embarrassment, would destroy chieftainship in New York politics and would enable the President to fill the places with men in sympathy with his own ideas of civil-service reform. Cornell and Arthur declined to tender their resigna tions, and they were suspended or removed Nov. 1, 1877. Successors were appointed a few days later, and these were not confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Conlding took the position that the President's own civil service rules declared in effect that no officers should be removed without cause. On his motion a letter was addressed to Secretary Sherman asking the President to give his reasons for removing Naval Officer Cornell and Collector Arthur, of New York, and Collector Jones, of Chicago. In replying, Secretary Sherman denied the right of the Sonatc to question the President as to his reasons, holding that their expression of disapproval was limited to the rejection of appointments. Thereupon the appointments were rejected, ajul Cornell and Arthur remained in office.
On the 6th of December the Republican delegatioii in Congress from New York sent a letter to the President asking that Cornell and Arthur be retained. The President stated that a change had been decided upon, and two hours later sent in again the names of Roosevelt and Prince as their successors. An exciting debate followed, Sentaor Conkling leading the party opposed to the confirmation of the nominations. It was staled during this debate that Secretary Sherman was opposed to sending in the names after they had been once rejected, but that Secretary Evarts claimed that under the cir cumstances the retention of Cornell and Arthur in office was detrimental to*the public service. They had taken no part in the contest themselves, and personally there was little feeling against them, but as they had become the central figures in apolitical struggle, he claimed that the President should insist on their rcmovJtl. The struggle, one of the most memorable in the history of the Senate,.ended in the appointment being again rejected.
Here the matter rested until after the adjournment of Congress. On the lltli of July, 1878, tli1 President removed General Merritt, a compromise man, his successor, and appointed Colonel Burt Naval Officer, in place of Cornell. This action caused little excitement, and Arthur and Cornell retired quietly from office.
MR. PHILLIP8- .•
We again call the attention of our Re publican friends to the importance of making a thorough preparation for the coming election in the Sixth ward. Not only is it to be a Republican victory, but, by the election of Mr. Phillips, the city will have a representative that, above all others, will represent with fidelity the interests of the poor people. It is a question of the greatest import to every man in the Sixth ward to see that he casts a rote for him. We know that the Demo crate are filling that ward with imported voters, and jre further know that they will use every avenue of fraud to convey a majority to their nominee, but, if our Republicans friends in the Sixth ward go to work with a vim for Mr. Phillips, he can be elected by an
majority.

Tlje Good the Republican Party Has, and the Evil It Has Not, Done. When the Republicans came into control of the Government they were confronted bv an armed rebellion the authority of "the Nation was defied in nearly one-half of the Union they were opposed by a hostile and rebel Government the army and navy of the Union were dispersed the arsenals were depleted the Treasury was beggared the credit of the Government was destroyed, and all this was the work of the Democratic party. The Republican party proved equal to the perilous situation.
They denounced Southern nullification. They declared secession impossible.
They affirmed the supremacy of the Nation. They called out the militia to sustain the laws.
They raised enormous armies and navies to suppress rebellion. Thev encouraged enlistments.
They raised money to sustain the war. v» They emancipated the slaves.
They armed the negroes. They sustained and upheld President Lincoln.
They conquered the rebellion. They preserved the Union. They were merciful to the captured rebels.
They disbanded and restored the vast army to a peace footing. They adopted the Constitutional amendments giving freedom, the franchise and civd rigrits to the slaves.
They cared for the soldiers and sailors of the Union. They cared for their widows and orphans.
They found war and restored peace. They found slavery and they gave freedom.
They abolished the "wild-cat11 currency of the States. They gave the people the best secured currency in the world.
They have saved the people from the loss of millions of dollars each year in broken bank bills.
They have saved the people millions of dollars each year by making the currency of equal value in every part of the country.
They have restored the credit of the "Government. They have reduced the interest-bear-ing deist of the Nation $627,537,194.
They have reduced the annual interest charges from $150,977,697 to $79,633,981—a saving of $71,343,716 a year. .'
They have maintained the National faith and honor. They passed the Resumption act.
They defeated inflation and opposed 'fiat money." They made the greenback worth 100 cents on the dollar.
They have fostered American industries. They have protected American mechanics.
They have collected the public revenues at a less percentage of cost than ever before.
They have handled the moneys of the Government at a less percentage of loss than ever before.
Thoy have secured peace to the country at home and abroad. They have made the name American respected in all quarters of the world.
The}7 have secured for, the Union a foremost place among tho Nations of the earth.
And all this the Republicans have done in the face of Democratic obstruction and hostility.
Why should a party with this record be sot aside to give place to a party that opposed and resisted these measures at every step, and would, if possible, have defeated every one of these Republican acts of wisdom, to which the country to-day owes its unity and prosperity?
The Republicans have done some noble things—things that will be remembered as long as there is history. But there are some things they did not do:
They did not use r.u army to force slavery into Kansas. They didfiot lire upon Fort Sumter.
They did not attempt secession. They did not plunder the Nation of its arms.
They did not inaugurate rebellion. They did not drive American commerce from the seas.
They did not "huzza" over Union disnstcrs. They did not/ "huzza" over Rebel victories.
They did not mourn over Rebel defeats. They did not oppose enlistments in the Union army.
They were not draft rioters. They did not hang Union colored men in the City of New York, or burn their asylums.
They did not rebel against the Union in that .city, or require troops and gunboats to overawe them into obedience to the law.
They were not Knights of the Golden Cimle.'', They did not commit the atrocities of Libb^% Belle Jtsle, Salisbury and Andersonville.
They did not oppose emancipation. They were not "Ku-Klux." They did not commit the butchery at Fort Pillow.
They did not commit the horrible massacre at New Orleans. .Thev did not murder Dixon.
They did not butcher the Chiebolm family. They did not massacre black men at Hamburg.
They did not scourge, and hang, and shoot, and murder men for opinion's sake.
They
overwhelming
did not organize the Louisiana
White League or the South Carolina rifle clubs. They did not drench the South with the blood of inoffensive colored men.
They did not invent the "Mississippi lan." They did not use the tissue-ballots.
Thev are not "Moonshiners." They did not resist the National authority.
They did not set up their States above the Nation. They did not try to destroy the Nation's credit
They did not try to pauperize the Amarir4M TOfcOhiU****

Saving Clover Seed.
The very high price which farmers frequently have to pay for clovereeed should induce them to save at least a sufficiency for their own supplies, and uudoubtably, if well followed up, make it a very profitable bustnessas a money crop. A farmer, who is vouched for as one of the best clover seed savers, gives the following hints as to the saving of the seed: "The second crop is for the seed, and is really fit for no other purpose, as it salivates the stock fed on it. The best time to cut for seed is a very nice point to determine. It should be cut when a majority of the heads turn brown, and before any begin to shell off the little seed pods, eac*h of which contains a seed. Out the second crop of clover ju&t as though it were for hay, rake it into wlnrows and let it lie and lake one or two showers: Inen pat it into very small cocks while damp, about one good uiJchforkful in a iace, and w&en it is 3IT put it into staciss and cap with something that w: turn water, or what is still better, if have Atedor barn, pot it there ar let it remain until you get a hufier to t.: it out for you. Let oar fanners save all the clover seed they can. and thus help to make thousands of dollars for the State, now sent out each year for clover seed to mw.

They have ndt been an impediment to National growth. They have not been a hindrance to the people's prosperity.
Can the Democratic party say as much? The people can trust a party that has not done these things, but they cannot trust a party that in whole or in part did do them.—Exchange.
Wanted, a Bnngstartcr.
There is, in the flexible lexicon of the backwoods regions, such a word as bungs tarter. This expressive phrase, which has a loose existence beyond the pale of dictionaries, describes or hints at the great want of the Democratic party, or to speak in loftier strain, it epitomizes the great need of the hour. Ever since the nomination of Hancock the standing advertisement at Democratic headquarters has been, "Wanted —A Bungstarter." This has been the substance of every enthusiastic note written to Mr. Tilden, the burden of every story poured into General Hancock's ear, the spirit of every murmur at the door of English. Mr. Watterson has seen it iu his waking dreams, Mr. Hendricks has heard it with a smile, and Mr. Kelly has looked upon it with a wink. But no one has succeeded in starting the bung.
There are many ways of starting a bung, and many circumstances that call for expeditious work iu freeing the bung-hole of a barrel from all impediments. A rude bungstarter inav be fashioned like an iron poker, and any strong-armed man may use it with effect, under proper direction. In the primitive ages, it is stated that as a fast resort a stone has been used to advantage in removing a bung. The bungstarter of the period, however, is a vast improvement on this, and when it becomes necessary to remove certain substances of a stubborn character from barrels, it is a necessity in any well-reg-ulated establishment.
The legendary barrel, said to contain the spirit of the Democratic campaign, has not, up to date, been successfully tapped. Mr. Thurman gave the spigot a turn the night of the nomination, but nothing came of it. The Democratic Convention Committee turned the faucet with great ceremony at Governor's Island, but there was tty,e merest', dribble from the barrel. Mr. Kelly^ knew what was wanted, and he bored in with his little gimlet, but the vent did not result as expected. The National Committee tugged at the faucet ais an old toper about to expire with thirst, but, if Senator Wallace may be believed, succeeded only in getting the thing out of order.
Then arose the wild cry for a bungstarter. Senator Barnum thought he knew who had one. It Was personal property,, of course, but if certain things were done it could be borrowed, in the meantime the press took up the cry. Hendricks was implored to come forward could ho bring nothing better than a poker, and could lie do nothing more than pound vigorously for ellect. But he struck not a blow. The Greenback leaders were asked to try their hands, but they remained in the" dim distance.
At last, it
was'officially
•.••
$tated that
Mr. Tildeu would come the rescye armed with the best bungstarter that tho New York market could atVonl. The barrel would'be opened* with appropriate ceremonies, and the TLtncock boom would be placed on its feet and started on its ton*ent-like course. The momentous hour came on Wednesday evening, and the man was there. The man and the hour met, and tho^smds of anxious Democrats stood 'expwtant. They waited with bated breath for the bung to Hy and for the outpouring that was to follow. But Mr. Tilden thought best not to meddlo with the bung. Ever cautious,, and shrewd as a mrUter of habit, he tapped the tail end cd' the barrel, and, wiiile eager eyes were fixed on faucet ancj bung, treated the audience ^o a taste of the spirit of the campaign of 1876. Much to the consternation of the Hancock managers, the meeting was turned into an ovation to Tilden, and Hancock and English, and all things to them appertaining, were lost sight of. MrRandall, with characteristic boldness, but much against his will, put his thumb in the surreptitious augur hole, and, all bespattered with the wastage, called loudly for a bungstarter. As ne settled down to the work before him, he promised that a most skillful hand at that business would come soon. He came in the person of General Ewing,who poundea on this side and that with all the energy of an enthusiastic nature. He yielded to J. Randolph Tucker, who gck the barrel in position, and succeeded in creating the impression that the solid South stood behid him in serried ranks, ready to elect Hancock at a moment's notice. But, at the close, it was discovered that the Democrats of New York Cify had met to show their loyalty to Tilden that in doing this th6y had disgusted and enraged the Tammany ites and demoralized the Hancock men by brevet and when the costs had bean counted in cold blood,
