Texas increased her population all through the war. People who were living in other Southern States were constantly flying before the advancing Federal armies and seeking an asylum of safety for themselves and their negroes in Texas. After the war a tide of immigration poured upon her from States of the North. and that tide. we are glad to say. still continues. The same facts may not have existed in the older States. but it is true of Texas. and we all here know it as we know any other matter of history that transpires under our eyes. and that that State has been growing in its population at an enormous rate. Yet we see a largo number of counties returned with less people in 1870 than in 1860.
