 In making this subdivision. it IS hoped you will inform yourself Of the estimated population of every portion of your dis
 trlcs, and avoid the construction of any subdivision so large as 10 make 1t imprac- ticable for an assistant to complete the remuneration thereof in six weeks of active service; for although the law admits of returns being made as late as November this was rendered necessary in 1850. be- cause he law was not enacted until near the close of the month preceding that in which the census was 10 be taken, and iG many places the work would not be com.
 nenced until the monlh of Augus, whereas 1t will now be possible, as it is deemed essential. in taking the Eigbth Census. that every Assistant shall com. menee the execution of his duties on the
 lst day of June, and that he shall unre. mittingly persevere in their performance abiit they sHdli nave UeSD COtnpteleO. The subdivisions should be of form as regular as possible, with boundaries easily comprehended.

The editor of ,he Newark Gazefte writing from Washington expresses sur prise at the per'inacity with which many persons cling to the idea that their Repre- sentatives al Washington can send them anything they please free of cost, and adds that the following matters ought 10 be understood by he people,:
 l. Every speech that member of Con gress sends to his constituents he has 10 pay for al prices varying from flye to ten dollars per. thousand; and where a c5a- stitaency of many thousand electors ex- poets to receive a distribution of speeches all round several times during the session, tlhe expense becomes quite | serious mat ter.sg If persons write to their Represen- tatves to distribute speeches and political tracts. they ought 10 seud the money 10 pay for them
 ,. All documents, reports. etc., ordered to be printed by any Congress are 10 be distributed 10 he members of that Con- gress. and succeeding members can only obtain them by buying them. Members are daily receiving letters asking for the Patent Office Reports printed by order of the last Congress. Those who were members of that body may have some of those Reports left over; but the new members have none. and the new Re- ports wall not be printed til next summer.
 3. Such costly works as the Pacific RaiIro,d Report. the Japan Expedition the Wilkes Exploring Expedition. the Brazil Expedition, e.c can only be ob- taned by the present members by pur- chasing them al the bookstores, and nc member has any greater facility for ob. taining them thau any private citizen. 1 1.
