The Census of the North-west. It appears by the census that the population of Iowa is 1,187,398. Michigan has 1,191,401. This is an extraordinary thing even between States with so large a number of people. Wisconsin also has about 1,100,000. The North-west in almost every State goes up into the millions. Ohio approximates to 3,000,000 Illinois, 2,050,000 Indiana, say, 1,700,000 and Missouri 1,550,000. In these seven States there is certainly over 12,000,000 inhabitants, which Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska will bring it up to 13,000,000. In 1830, forty years ago, the whole United States did "not have as large a population. In 1840 there were but four North-western States—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan—and their population was not one-fifth of what it is in the North-west now. There was then no Wisconsin or Iowa at all. These great States have been entirely built in less than half a lifetime of a man. The annals of the world afi'ord no such similar instance of growth. The population of the United States this year, it is thought, will exceed 39,000,000. We therefore in these ten western States have one-third of all the people of the country. It is safe to say that they will have more than half of the total population of this country when the next census is taken in 1880. Truly, "Westward the star of Empire takes its way." We shall then be in a position with our ten
States to out-vote the thirty-five other States that-will then probably be in the Union.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Additional Local News.
THEY are to have night school in the High School building at Indianapolis. Such a school in this city would accommodate many children who cannot attend in the day time.
AV. H. LEAKE and his partner Mr. Dickson of the Indianapolis Academy of Music were in the city to-day, making arrangements for the opening of the Opera House in this city.
BOYS are indulging in the bad practice of stealing rides on the cars as they pass the city. Some of the?e fine days a few of the lads will have an arm or a leg cut off as a result of their carelessness.
THE Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company are laying steel rails between Greencastle and Indianapolis. This road is the smoothest in the West aifd the officers propose to keep up its well earned reputation.
SNEAK THIEVES are annoying the people in the eastern part of the city again. Every few days we hear of the rascals committing some petty theft or other. It is a pity the police officers cannot drop down on them occasionally.
THE New Albany Ledger's twaddle about negroes attending the Normal .School is the veriest nonsense, and we are surprised that such demagogism is resorted to by that sheet. A newspaper in the nineteenth century should take higher grounds.
JUDGE SCOT^T will preside in the Circuit Court to-morrow in the place of Judge Patterson. The case of Bauman vs the Terre Heute & Alton Railroad Company will be called. Bauman claims damages for having an arm broken by being run over by a train.
LUKE SCHOOLCRAFT will reopen the Academy of Music on Saturday night, with an entirely new company, selected for that purpose from some of the best variety performers in the West. A splendid bill will be presented on that occasion. Of course the house will be crowded.
STEWART HOUSE.—We call the attention to the card of the Stewart House, which appears in this paper. This hotel has recently been refitted and put in splendid order. 'Mr. J. M. Davis now has charge of it, and having had much experience, knows how to keep hotel. Give Mr. Davis a call and you will find the house a good one, and the proprietor a polite and obliging gentleman.
SEVERAL
ofour Democratic friends are
beginning to look around for minor Legislative positions at Indianapolis this winter.—Journal.
Such a hungry horde of office-seekers as will appear at thecapitol at the sitting of the Legislature, has not been seen for years past. We are informed that a delegation of perhaps fifty will go up from this place. An exceeding lively time may be expected, grabbing for the crumbs of office.
THE four chaps who were fined each $17 for associating with the "wood ducks" on the other side of the river, and who broke their shackles and made their escape from the chain gang, have gone to Indianapolis and enlisted in the regular army, we are told. There area few more of the same sort who could be well spared from this city, and they would do well to imitate the example of these fellOWS.
THE following information as to ascertaining the age of a horse, after he has passed the ninth year, is quite new to us, and will be to most of our readers: After the horse is nine years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid, at the upper corner of the lower lid, and every year thereafter he has one well-defined wrinkle for each year of his age over nine. If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve. Add the number of wrinkles to nine, and you will^alw.ays get at his age.
AN exchange says the following is a sure and speedy relief for founder in horses: Take a tablespoonful of pulverized alum, pull the horse's tongue out of his mouth as far.as possible, and throw the alum down his throat let go his tongue and hold up his head until he swallows. In six hours time—no matter how bad the founder—the horse will be fit for moderate service. I have seen this remedy tried so often with perfect success, that I would not make $5 difference in a horse foundered (if done recently) and one that is n®c. :J r* !I
ABOUT a year ago a man was arrested on some frivolous charge, and fined by the Mayor §1—and costs. He took an appeal to the Circuit Court and the action of the Mayor was sustained. The cost in the suit amounted to $62. Yesterday an officer arrested the fellow and required the payment of the sum, or that he give security for the payment of the amount/ While the officer's attention was attracted iu auother direction, the fellow cut stick and lit out, traveling at double quick, and has not yet been seen. It is supposed that he left the city. He made a poor speculation by appealing to a higher court.
THERE is no place in the West, perhaps, where a manufactory for agricultural implements would prove more successful than this city. The locating of such a manufactory lias frequently been talked of, and it is to be hoped that capitalists will take hold of the matter next Spring and push it through at once. A vast deal of trade that now goes to other cities would come to this if we had such an establishment here. The country for the sale of agricultural implements is large, the farmers wealthy and prosperous, and we do not think. that any tone enterprise which we have not, could be engaged in that would add more to the interests of the place just at the present time.

LONDON, Oct. 26.—Dispatches from Tours, Thursday evening, states that the pending peace negotiations are due to the initiative taken by Great Britain.
M. Thiers has not yet received a free pass to enter Paris. In a week or ten days he will probably be permitted to enter the city.
The last effort of England to induce propositions of peace between the belligerents is regarded with distrust by the French.
A report is in circulation that Queen Victoria has written to King William urging him to moderate his demands on the French.
Hopes of Peace at nn End.
A special dispatch to the N. Y. Herald was received from its correspondent at Berlin from Metz, in which it is stated that all endeavors on the part of the Bonapartists. through Bazaine, by which peace could be restored on the basis of the Empress becoming Regent have been abandoned. All hopes of peace are therefore now at an end, and peace can only be gained by the intervention of neutral powers. A Responsible Government Required.
Bismarck requires a responsible government on the part of France before entertaining peace propositions. He says that an election by the French of some authorized Government is an indispensable preliminary.
The French it appears, still refuse to recognize the hopelessness of the cause consequently, there is difficulty in procuring an armistice. A semi-official announcement from Berlin attributes the delay in the bombardment of Paris to the imperfect state of the preparations on the part of the Prussians and not to political considerations. Tbe Lower Classes in Germany Clamor for Peace.
A dispatch to the New York Herald, under date of the 24th, states that the uppermost feeling in Berlin at the present moment is an. intense longing for peace. This is especially the case among the lower classes, whose desire is emphasized more strongly day after day. They feel the early inclemency of the season, and picture to themselves the sufferings of their friends in the field. Their last penny has been invested in woolen underclothing and socks, to be sent off to the army, and they clamor loudly for the termination of the war.
It is stated in a dispatch from London, under date of the 25th, that Empress Eugenie has not taken any part in the corroborations referred to from time to time as having for their object either peace or an armistice, and she replies with great energy that so long as there was any question of the smallest cession of territory she would hold aloof from every negotiation. An Effort to Dispatch a Balloon to Paris.
TOURS, Oct. 26.—Yesterday the balloon which the authorities were trying to dispatch to Paris was carried against a tree and badly damaged. Another effort will be made to-morrow. A messenger of the Government who has important news to communicate, will essay the hazardous experiment of visiting Paris by balloon. Prussians Announce their Intention to
Commence Uoinbardiu Paris Next Saturday.
LONDON, Oct. 26.—The Prussians again announce that fire will be opened on Paris on the 29th instant.
One thousand stoves have been ordered for the huts of the Prussians besieging Metz.
General Gambrid claims a victory for the French at Chatillon le Due. Belgium is again sending troops to the frontier. An Enthusiastic CJirl Calling for Recruits.
Dispatches from Tours announce that a young girl of that city is creating most intense excitement by imitation of the example of Joan of Arc. Hundreds of enthusiastic persons have joined her standard. Her appeals for recruits are said to be patriotic and eloquent.
The troubles at Marseilles are increasing. The Red Republicans are largely in the ascendant, and are iu open rebellion against the Republican authorities at Paris and Tours. They have even gone so far as to offer a reward for Gambetta's head.
Gustave Flourens has been finally discharged. Notwithstanding the French report of the German evacuation of Orleans, it lias been ascertained that the city is still occupied.
There are no indications of the immediate advance on Blois and Vendome. The Prussians have made heavy requisitions on the people living in and around Chartres.
Famine the only Fear iu Paris.
A private letter from Paris, the 18th, says: All is going on very comfortably at present. No starvation or bombardment. The city is perfectly quiet and tranquil, and the Mobiles are gradually becoming soldiers, yet Bismark seems disposed to allow the Ameriean legation to send for and receive a weekly mail through the Prussian lines, but absolutely reftiaes to allow messages. I look upon Paris as impregnable to assaults unless one or more of the forts are taken.
No great danger is anticipated from the bombardment. Famine is all we have to fear, and that, it is supposed will begin to pinch'cruelly toward December. About two-thirds of the Americans here want to leave. They are getting tired of the situation. The Prussians will let them go directly, but the French interpose objections, being afraid of the moral effect upon the population, seeing so many strangers depart. It will end, I suppose, in their going at different dates in schall iiumbers.
Tfce GeffliMs Claim More Victories. CARLSRUHE,

Agonon at Veray, Cassey Asson, and at Genneville. The French losses were severe. Battallions of the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth Baden regiments took part in the action. The German losses generally were insignificant.
The following is a complete list of the casualties suffered by the Baden troops: Killed, 7 wounded, 20 captured, 12 officers, and 200 rank and file.
ITefotiationi Pending.
BERLIN via LONDON, Oct. 26.—German negotiations with Bazaine for the capitulation of his army are still pending, notwithstanding the disapproval of the French Government.
The military authorities before Paris have successfully examined the defenses of that city by means ol balloons.
VERSAILLES, Oct. 26.—In the combat at Airy, on the 22d, the Germans lost about one hundred, lled and wounded. The French loss was serious.
About the Unity.
BRUSSELS, October 26.—The conference between Bismarck and represensatives of the various Southern States of Germany, regarding the terms of unification, has already begun. The Bavarian representative announced that his Government desired a separate military budget and some sp^ial taxes, as well as special postal service. He agreed, in case these points are conceded, that her deputies in the Federal Parliament shall not participate in discussion of the Federal budget. It is thought these terms will not be accepted.
Widows and Orphans.
BERLIN, Oct. 26.—A single battalion of the !Laudwehr, under General Krumer, at Metz, in repelling Bazaine's sortie of the 7th, lost over 400 fathers of families, leaving as many widows and 1,070 orphans.
In the suburbs of Berlin the shops of smaller merchants are closed, and so are those of small butchers, bakers and artisans. "They are going to the front," say the written placards on the doors of their shops and lodgings. These and other evidences of the distress of the people have aroused a feeling in favor of immediate peace.
DOMESTIC.,
iiew York Election Matters.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—The Government is determined to enforce the acts of Congress in regard to election laws at all hazards. For this puipose AttorneyGeneral Ackerman has taken rooms at the Astor House for the purpose of deciding all questions of law touching the same. No doubtful or questionable power will be assumed by the officers, )ut the clear requirements of the law will be strictly and rigidly enforced. No lack of authority to back up the officers in discharge of their duty will be wanting. U. S. infantry companies are arriving iu the city and harbor. They will find quarters on one of the islands of East river, and after their services are no longer required in the city, a large portion of them will proceed to the Canadian frontier and go into winter quarters.
The officers charged with the duty of executing the laws of Congress for the preservation of the purity of the ballot, mean business this time, and the Government means to sustain them.
The naval forces in Brooklyn and upon the waters in New York harbor, will be in readiness to sustain the officers in executing the process and enforcing the law. There is no backwardnesss anywhere. A Committee Declare in Favor of Removing the Capital.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 26.—Thecapital moving Convention met according to previous announcement. The Committee on Resolutions reported in favor of the removal of the Capital to the Mississippi Valley, to some point as near as possible to the center of population, territory, production, and transportation, with reference to the future as well as to the present demands of the nation also, to oppose further appropriations for new buildings in the District of Columbia, and reaffirm tbe resolutions of the St. Louis Convention. They also recommend the appointment of a committee to memoralize Congress at its next session in favor of the passage of a joint resolution, authorizing the appointment of commissioners to examine the question of removal and relocation of the the capital, to report at an early day.
Mr. W. M. Beach, of Ohio, offered a substitute declaring the agitation of the removal of the capital of the United States from Washington was unwise, and proposing a sine die adjournment of the convention.
An animated discussion followed, participated in by delegates from Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Washington Territory, Ohio, and Illinois. No vote was taken.
Cincinnati, on motion of an Ohio gentleman, was named as the place for the Capital. The motion did not prevail, and was withdrawn.
The resolutions were then adopted with one dtssenting voice. Lynching of Criminals.
ORLEANS, IND., Oct. 26.—James Pickard and Lewis Tongate were taken from the officers last night and hung. The officers and a guard cf 25 men started from here last night for the purpose of taking the criminals to jail at Paoli, the county seat.
When about four miles from here they were surrounded by about one hundred disguised men. The two prisoners were taken from tbe officers and guards, and both hanged to the rafters of Lost River bridge. They are still hanging there. Great excitement prevails. The Coroner has just started for the scene of the tragedy.
The two men were notorious thieves, and doubtless deserved their fate, but they should have met it at the hands of the law. They belonged in Owen county. l| Washington News.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Captain G. A. Hartwell, W. H. Hays, Dewitt C. Poole and Major J. M. Goodhue are relieved as Indian Agents.

ANDERSON IND., Oct. 26.—The trotting race to-day for a purse of $150, was won by Loder's gray mare Susan. The trot to-morrow for the $200 promises to be interesting. Five entries have been made.

MARSEILLES, Oct. 21.—I have jusi ad dressed an immense audience. France forever! Vive la republique universele ct fenienne! GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN
A telegram to the Associated Press says that in his speech Mr. Train denounced the Prussians in the most bitter terms, and that he created a great excitement. Of course he did. He is a man of genius and a natural orator, who knows how to inflame the hearts of his hearers. Besides, Marseilles is famous for the attachment of her people to republican ideas. Mr. Train may yet play a memorable part in France before he comes home to run for the Presidency. Vive le grand George Francis Train.Y. Sun.
