The superintendent OF the Census.

We observe in the New York Herald of yester-
day Washington letter of the 25th instant, in
which most gross, fragrant, and baseless attack
is made upon this officer. In this letter Mr.. Ken
nedy is charged with having received higher com
pensation than the law authorizes; and it is
asserted that the Comptroller has refused to ad-
NIT his accounts, for want of vouchers, &c.
We have made inquiry into this matter, and
learn, not only that Mr.. Kennedy presented all
his vouchers when asked for them, but that none
of them have been disallowed. Mr.. Kennedy was
also asked for an explanation, which he promptly
furnished.
We learn, still further, that when o question
arose respecting Mr.. Kennedy's compensation, he
at once refused receioag any salary-not only that
of So, 500, but that of So 900 also although ten
dered to him-until the matter should be decided
beyond all controversy
These being the facts, we think it strange that
any one could thus attempt to injure the charac-
ter of public officer to crafty his own private
griefs, or from any other motive; and we cannot
but deem it equally strange that the Committee
of Ways and Means should permit such use to
be made of papers placed in their possession for
their own calm and dispassionate examination.
The writer speaks of this as matter which
has just originated; but the truth is that it was
discussed months ago by those concerned, since
which time it has rested.
