IN THIS CITY.

seeming discrepancies existing between the Census
figures and those of the enrolling officers. We
must here state that the enrolling officers were in
struced to take the business address and residence
of all persons enrolled. This was found almost i'm.
practicable, and nearly fifty per cent Of the enrolled
were entered on the books only to their business
address. In such cases their names could not b
transferred to the district they lived in and this &C.
counts for the excess Of names in most Of the BUSH
ness Wards. For instance in the Second Ward wo
find the following places where no doubt the en-
rolling officers did not succeed in getting the resi-
dences of those whom they enrolled, viz: Howard
Hotel, Park Hotel, United States Hotel, Lovejoys
Hotel, Belmont Hotel, Barnums Museum, Herald
Office, Times Office, Erening Post. Fulton Market,
Burling slip, Peck slip and the steamers lying a.
the wa or front Of the Ward We presume that at
least one sixth of the I,7S6 persons enrolled in tho
Second Ward were found at these places New les
us suppose that this one-sixth IS drawn from tho
wheel in the drawing of the lVth Congressional
District and the result 10 that not more than per
cent Of the persons thus drafted reside al IN sne
district. They Of course enrolled IN tne ois.
trc:s in which they reside, and the whole amouns
OF the injustice done them IA simply that they cay
ut the office Of the Provost Marshal, and snow 'aas
they do not reside at their place OF business.
Public notice was given by Col. Nugent, tnrougn
were thus enrolled to call ut the Msrshafs orlcos
and have their names stricken off, but very lew
applied.
