WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. %, 1875.
MANY of the Members of Congress hav-
ing now arrived, the city presents It's usual WIN
Ter appearance, and the first snow of the season,
which fell this morning, has reminded us OF the
near approach of the end OF the year. The adj
ver,isements of furnished rooms,' genteel
boarding" &C, which have filled our papers for
some time are gradually disappearing, and already
Hss difficult matter to secure comfortable lodgings
at anything like a reasonable price greater rush
anticipated here this winter than ever before.
Unusual activity prevails in every department
Of Government, in some of the offices extra du-
ties being reouircd of the clerks. In the Census Of
S there are about one hundred and fifty clerks who
are engaged tn nine o'clock every night. The ener-
seuc and uotlirg Superintendent, Mr.. KENNEDY, Is
always at ms post never leaves his Office till twelve
and sometimes later every night. 1t is owing 10 MS

son. Complaint OF unnecessary delay mas oesn
made by ZONE of the Opposition papers, out hoI Dy
hose who understand any thng ol the nature
Of the work, and the immense labor II involves.
The truth is that the Census OF 1880, as lar
as regards population, Will be published sooner than
that OF 1870 was, aud that Notwithstanding the many
advantages ENJOY ed by the English Tor taxing CEN
sls ours will appear much Garner imam thelIs, anu
require less time IN ITS preparation, III proportion 10

extended character of the m 'OtmatOn gwen by us
1esiatiSilcS OF the State OF Maryland viii be pup

Among other interesting details, II appears there
vste IN 1880 9O9 churches IN he state that the Me-
| lActists have the greatest NUMBER aud the Roman
