Gam:..aa .au ~ ~ noIit;ca1 Paul P5ys was
s..s':1...,S nroner. They are required to
.,a1.o their returns to the Provost Marshal
general at Washington, not TO Comlsky,
Roberts s. Co. The officers, throughout
their canvass, although oese1 Win dl1hcul-
ties 1nnumczable, ana opposed IN some
instances BY armed resistance, have acted
with the utmost spirit OF fairness and I'M
partiaiity, and have even exceeded the
bounds Of their Official instructions TO &C.
cure correct results. an alpnabetlca1 LIST
was drawn Of, and public announcement
made through the papers "nen anu "hefe
the lists could be found 1or e1amlna1loa
and correction. In this way the Isis conlo
be made complete, and the public could
see that the work was done fairly and sat
isfactorily. The time for examination was
ample and the opportunities Tor correction
sufficient. The limit expired, the rolls
passed out Of the hands Of the public into
1he possession Of the Government, and
then, when all hopes Of further hindering
the Government through the agency Of
their deluded followers were at an end,
lie Coppc.hcsd leaders with an impudcnce
which would be refreshing did it not
threaten serious results, demanded from
9be officers sealed documents which they
had no warrant to exhibit,
One Of the principal allegations Of the
SECESSION concern is that the enrolment is
in excess If the last 1nunicinal vote Of the
city. Il would be singular if it were not.
Il is safe In estimate that Mt least ten ner
,cn+ of +,,e 1eca3 voters do mt vote nj all.
Int nccessar;ly all Of them must be enroll
ed Ten ner rent more may be estimated

1beir intentions tn become citizens. A
1arre ncr centare of foreion citizens WIN
have declared their intentions. have not
taken out their second papers. and of
tlcse there is an iu,nense number as the
books Of the Court Clerks will show.
Arsin the ponu1ation of the CITY has been
materially swollen ,r the increase Of the
