The BopIsco PANc.-The panic raised by our
neigbbor of the Cowriv, relative to Bodlsco, has
subsidized, without any material losses from specu-
latlons in stocks, as in the Poussin panic OF the
North dnsriean. II was, therefore, good panic,
and afforded safety-valve for good deal OF pent-
I'D wrath against the barbarian Nicho!as-the old
Blue Beard of continental Europe Ii will also be
of good service TO Bodisco when he returns; for
let him get the idea of Siberia into his head, and
the Emperor will not get him to st. Petersburgh
again in hurry. He will prefer to locate himself
permanently in Georgetown His present safety is
confirmed by the card of Madam BodiscO but the
Cotrias anxiety, as TO the origin of the report, is
very natural How did it originate? There must
be something IN it. How did it happen to be
known so long at Washington, without getting
OUT What gave rise to lit There must be some
FIRE where il smokes SO. Altogether, it is mys-
ferrous piece of business. The system of Russia,
at home and abroad, Is system of spies. They
dog the heels of every Official, and some one will
doubtless hang on the trail Of Bodsco back to this
country A correspondent Of the Tribune, writing
from Washington, shows that although Bodsco
has escaped thus far, he had better keep clear of
his "august MASTER for the future. The writer
says
THAT Bodisco is laborng under the di5plsasure Of
his government based upon information derived from
spy his private and official acts in the city does
not admit Of question. The causes OF complaint
against him arise not only from his having accumn
lated al estate and personal assets TO large aui 'un
in this city and vicinity, in violation of the expressed
wishes of his sovereign. but from suppotiou that he
participated in the benefits arising from excessive
pendurss of in the construction Of some vessel
vessels for that government II that create, sur
prise here is that he suffered to be deooye
within the grasp OF the tyrapt that rules his native
land with rod Of iron but that he did not ais
allegiance TO all foreign powers and b-come citizen,
and seek the protection Of the United States Bau n
Siberia for life may eventually bs his fate but
have before remarked. the 9th OF this mouth no
| such misfortune had befalen him"
Whatever may be the value OF the Tribune
mans testimony, there must be something in the
wind and it is probable that if he gets safely back,
| Mr.. Bodisco will become exceedingly partial to
| Georgetown.
The CENSUS OF lS5O-Under the act of the Sd Of
March last, the Secretary of State the Postmaster
General, and The Secretary of the Home Depart
| ment, were constituted the Board of Control
of the census of 1850. The duties which
they will have to perform, of collecting the
statistics of the products and resources of the
| several States, are responsible, important and
| delicate. If the Board of Management have
any sectional ends to accomplish. or any Sec
tional prejudices in the way, they may 30 conduct
the business as 10 be guilty of special favortsm
TO one section and rank injustice TO the other.
The primary object of the Genus is to ascertain
the basis of representation of the several States in
Congress. A small deficiency IN the population of
State, may be the loss of member of the House,
and upon the vote of that single member the most
important measures may depend. With two such
men as Messrs. Ewing and Collamer constituting
the majority of the Board there is no wonder the
suspicious Of the South have been excited. as
Swallowed forth in the letters of Professor DE Bow,
OF New Orleans, to the Secretary of the Board
opposing certain propositions before them OF adapt
ing the questions 10 each particular section, but
which, from an article in the Republic, 1t appears
have been rejected for the uniform programme.
1t is known, that through nti-savery influence,
Mr.. Ewbank was appointed Commissioner of
the Patent Office, probably with some expecta-
ton that by means of his agency and position,
the census printing would accrue to the ri.
buns job office. That job would have enabled
the Office TO dispense with Ned Buntlin's Orn, for
the printing Of the census will probably be worth
the gross amount Of 900 000 But we regret that
the prospect is gone. We understand that the
census work has petn awarded to the Rsyubhe,
which will secure the existence 81 .i,-, highly IN
teres,ing paper, probably, during the administra-
ton OF General Taylor
II only remains for the South 10 see that Ewing
end Collamer do them justice, and that no loafng
aboliuonists are mixed in with the census takers,
on the wrong side of the line.
