ERROR IN CENSUS LAW.
Mr Fisk observed, that he h;*,d un
derstood that a mistake had occurred
in the passage t>l the act ior taking ’he
census ot the inhabitants of the Uni

present it allowed nine instead ot five
mouths (as agreed toby bo^h Houses)
»o a 'Sts ants to make their returns^
.ind required the Marsh Is, under a
penalty ol 800 dollats, to make return'
in seven month*, two months belore
they could hate received them. To
remedy this, error he moved the ap

taught to expect Co. ope rat inn trom the
Spanish armies—he found no armies to co.
operate witn him he found no provu-.oii ,

the nriJers, not of a superior miUitary com. ‘

In examining, however, tne concuct ot
ministers, he was willing to concede to

men, properly employed, might have turn

He admitted it might have turned the fate
