THE CENSUS.
We have learned that the instructions for mar
shas and assistants in taking the census are nearly
prepared. The notifications from those of 1850 |
will be slight. A compliance with the recommen-
dations of the New York Chamber of Commerce,
regarding the commercial statistics is not deemed |
practicable The importance of information about !
internal commerce is fully appreciated by the Cen
sus Bureau, but no method of collecting that which
is reliable through the census has been discovered
The multiplicity of exchanges which products and
and transportation from end of the Union to the
other, renders an exact computation of the value
of domestic commerce impossible. 1t is estimated
that cost of taking the census this year will reach
fifteen hundred thousand dollars and the enumera-
ton will exceed thirty -one million Of people. Super
intendent Kennedy intends to have returns complete
in less than three months from the 1st of July
They will be laid before Congress next session, so
that an appointment law may be passed at once
This, however will not be in to act upon the
ratio for the Thirty Congress- as majority
of its members will have been elected previous to
the commencement of the next session, but it will
enable those States whose Legislatures meet benni-
ally to apportion their districts in ample time for
the election of members of the Thirty eighth Con-
gress.

that the publication Of the questions necessary for

benefit. With this view, we publish the following

In addition to these, there are number of other
questions the answer to which can be obtained now
even with little trouble. It is hoped that every
person who sees this request will, the first day o.
june, make out the answers and in case of absence
leave it in such place and condition that 1t may b<
placed in the hands of the officers when they call for it
BY the act of Congress providing for the taking
of the seventh and subsequent Census Of the Untet
