tons, all the statements with regard TO the census
returns that have been published have been FUR
nished by the marshals themselves, and nearly all
of them have turned out TO be incorrect More or
less errors have been found in very large portion
of the original returns by the examination and re-
examination of them in the Census office. few
OF the most careful and correct clerks are now en-
gagged. as ] understand, in compiling abstracts oil

in the office is employed in classifying the ages,

in the report of MIR. Kennedy TO the next Congress
These blanks were prepared and printed before
Mr.. X. left, and Mr. Irving was placed at the head
ofths branch of the business. He became of the
most rapid cassifiers in the Office, and reduced
the work TO a system which has greatly accele-
rated it's progress. Upon Mr.. KS leaving, Mr..
Irving was appointed acting superintendent, which
berth be sustains with industry, ability and gem

New oRLHAss, Aug 2l.-The Cuban lberators,
mostly Western men. exasperated by the tone OF
the Spanish paper, La Patia, this afternoon at
tackled the Office, broke the windows and doors,
threw the press, cases Of type, and furniture
into the street, and destroyed every thing belong
ing to the office. There was no interference by
the police.
After demolishing the office, the rioters proceed
ed 10 the segar store corner Of st. Charles and
Gravier streets, broke the doors and windows, and
destroyed all the stock and furniture, which were
very valuable.
They then proceeded to the Office of the Spanish
consul, and destroyed desks. furniture, and pro-
perty of all kinds. The sign was broken down
and carried in triumph to the meeting in Lafayette
square.
New ORLEANs, August 22-Two thousand men
this morning surrounded the city prison, where
the Spanish consul has taken refuge, and threat.
ened to demolish it unless the consul is delivered
up to them. About fifty police are on the ground
The segar shops kept by the Spanish were nearly
all destroyed during last night Minute guns have
been fired since sunrise in honor of the murdered
liberators. The bodies of Victor Kerr and Colonel
Crttenden attract many visitors, and produce
much feeling.

In giving place to the following communica-
ton we would call the attention of the Acting
Superintendent of the Census to the fact, which
has no doubt escaped his notice, that persons
having access to the papers in his bureau have
been retailing their contents TO some of the New
York journals The habit of regarding official
information as the special property of the clerks
of the respective bureaus, and Of retaining it for
the purpose of giving interest to their own news
paper correspondence, irregular and improper
as it obviously is, has become so frequent as to
deserve the application of more rigid correc-
tive than has hitherto been employed. We
have known instances in which the positive re-
QUESTIONS of the heads of Department have
failed to elicit information which has been stimuli
taneously sold to the newspapers. Nothing
can be clearer than that any information OF i'm
portance to the public, in the possession of any
Department Of the Government, and proper to
be communicated, ought to be given to the
word-but il should be through reliable and
responsible channels, and not through the clan
destine correspondence of employees of the Gov
eminent, in abuse of their official opportunities.
Though the abuse of which we speak is FIRE
quent, we have reason to believe that the num-
Der Of individuals implicated in it is inconsider-
able, and that most of the gentlemen engaged
in the various bureaus entertain too Just a sense
Of propriety to involve the character Of clerk in
that of correspondent, or to peddle out the re-
cords which they are employed to copy or keep.
Our attention has been an hundred times, oral
ly and by letter, called to the fact to which we
allude but we should not have made it the
subject of special comment just at this time had
it not been that it was naturally brought to our
attention by the perusal of the article we annex:
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-08-26
Cuban Meetings.

mass meeting Of the citizens of Philadel
pha was called for last evening in Independ
ence square, without distinction Of party -
The call invited the attendance of all who care
opposed TO the outrageous and inhuman murder
of fifty Americans, which was lately perpetra-
ted in Havana, by ordor Of the Spanish govern
ment, without trial."
On Thursday evening last meeting was
held in Savannah to express sympathy for the
struggling patriots of Cuba" Heaven helps
those who help themselves. We have seen as
yet no evidence Of Struggling patriotism" ia
Cuba. The Cuban patriots, from all that we
can hear, declined rendering any assist
ance whatever TO the rash men who had
been seduced into the belief that they
were in the path of heroic adventure, when
they were only seeking an gnomnious
death. What language can be strong enough
to express the adherence which every right
minded and humane person must feel at the
acts by which so many lives have been sacri-
feed and 50 many hearths have been made de-
ISOLATE. If the Cubans have duped these UNI
fortunate men with the assurance that they
were to second struggle for liberty, the base
and cowardly abandonment of their allies must
satisfy the world that they are only fit to be
slaves
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-08-26

We place little reliance just now on the va
rious Geographic advices that come from New
Orleans by the way of Charleston.
The statement that two steamers had sailed
for Cuba from New Orleans lacks confirmation
Information had been received here from an Of
fetal source, under date of the 9th instant,
that two steamers were fitting out with this
view, but that measures had been taken to pre-
vent their departure. No advices on the sub
ject of subsequent date have been received at
any of the Departments, by the mail OF by tele-
graph. 1t is not probable that the attempt
would have been made, whether successful or
otherwise, without the communication of the
fact by the collector there TO the Treasury De-
partment, more especially as that officer had
been advised that his conduct in regard to the
Pampero required satisfactory explanation, in
the absence of which his removal would be in
evitable.
The Geographic advces from New Orleans
TO the Charleston papers in regard to the al
legged outrage upon the Spanish consul purporl
TO be Of the 22d instant. Dispatches to our
northern journals of the same date make no
mention of 1t. The probability is that the story
is fabricated for the Cuban market, for the pur-
pose of instigating the commission of retaliatory
outrages in Havana. If founded in fact, there
can be little doubt that the statement is highly
exaggerated.
The extent to which the telegraph is en-
ployed for the circulation of falsehood, on every
subject of public interest, almost destroys its
usefulness. No reliance whatever can be
placed upon its intelligence, except whore it is
vouched for by a responsible name, or is of a
character that would furnish no nducement for
misrepresentation.
1t is gratifying to observe the generally
sound and conservative character of the edito-
rial comments upon the recent intelligence from
Cuba. Sympathy for the dupes of LoPEz,
and Indignation at the sanguinary vengeance of
the Spanish authorities, do not appear to have
diverted public sentiment from just estimate
of the nature of the unlawful enterprise of
which these men have been the victims In
the quarters where there is the most show of
excitement, it would seem that the pressure of
impending elections has stimulated the members
Of all political parties to the determination that
no one of them shall profit by monopoly Of
sympathy in behalf of oppressed humanity.
The impression, however, seems to be general
ly prevailing that the attempt to force liberty
and independence upon men who are not dis
posed to seek these blessings is rather work Of
supererogation; and that the expedition Of
LOPEZ is so exclusively one of conquest rather
than Of ''aid and comfort" to a struggling peo-
pie, that there is nothing to save it from the in
fanny of an adventure for robbery and plumber

CENSUS STATISTICS.
TO The Editor of the Republic.

10 uf L~d'tOJ " St f'tPHVtt'
Complaint is made in letter from your New
York correspondent that the newspaper STA
tistics Of that city, as published from abstracts
Of the census returns, are incorrect. Com.
plants of this character have been made in other
quarters, and believe in every instance injustice
has been done TO the assistant marshas; those dis
covering these supposed errors not taking into
consideration the fact that the was only
brought down TO the first day Of June, 1850. Many
changes have taken place since that time, paricu-
larry in our large cities. How many papers have
been born and have died, or how many that have
sprung up since that time that are still living in
the city Of New York, cannot tell.
But certain it is no fault can rest with the Cen
office, az am assured that very few abstracts
have emanated officially from that Office, and those
