we have received letter from Mr. Kennedy. the Su.

to an article in the IasgropA Of this city, in which some
alleged inaccuracies. published in the Baltimore Sun in
reference to the census returns for Maryland are cor

statement
From the Washington Telegraph Of yesterday.
HE CENSUS OF lS30-The Baltimore Sun Of this morn

unjust In It's inferenCes and conjectures We are sur

OF course, not susceptible of reuaton but the facts

Census II, as we presume. the editor OF the Sun did
done great injustice TO both Mr. Kennedy and himself
We have day taken the trouble TO refer to the official
statement and find that county in MARYLAND is re-
ported as containing only two Germans and only for
