INCREASE In RAILROAD BusrNEss-It was the
general impression that after the war the traffic
by passengers and freight on the different rail-
roads in the country would show large fall
ing of. II was supposed that the loss Of the
immense transportation business of the govern
ment during the war would cause correspond
ing decrease in the receipts Of nearly every
company. But the facts show the contrary 10
be the case. Our railways were never In a
more fourishing condition than at this time.
The passenger travel has very rarely been so
great as during the present summer. So -four
ishing are these companies that they should be
held to. a heavier pecuniary responsibility for
the many terrible accidents that are continually
occurring. But II Is not only In the railway
business that the country shows signs Of pros
perity. Nearly every branch Of trade has
revived since the war, and he wide expanse
of Southern territory thrown open to the enter
prise Of our people has furnished vast mate
rial for investment and development. The
country was probably never more prosperous
than at this time. The only obstacles to its
continued progress are the politicians and
financial thinkers.

the takers of the present State census. The
following note is from respectable gentleman,
who has furnished us with his name and adj
dress, and the facts stated may be taken as a
sample of the loose manner in which the census
has been taken:--
TO THE EDITOR OF THE GERALD.
Enumerator asks in the Herald, ''How TO know
the census not taken correciiyg" will tell him, for
one have in my house thirteen persons including
neither has any census taker been at my door. Let
others report the same. FIFTH AVENUE.
Who are the persons engaged in taking this
false census? What are their names! Where
do they come from? What are their antece-
dentist To what political party do they belong?
We're they the originally appointed census
takers, or were they sub-letters and barroom
setterss Who can give us information on these
points, II would be well for our business men
and every citizen who takes pride in the well
fare of the city to hold a public meeting for
the purpose of investigating this huge swind!e,
this infamous attempt to make this great me-
tropolis, the centre of the commerce, wealth,
brains and patriotism of the country, city of
only secondary Importance.

FREMEN's RIoTs.-We regret to see the spirit
of rowdyism lately exhibited in this city among
the iremen. The new Commissioners arc hard
at work correcting the abuses that have grown
up in the department for many years past, and
the labor of eradicating the evils is one of
much difficulty. We hope the regular firemen
of the old department., who have for so long q
time borne high reputation for gallantry and
selGsacrifcing devotion to the interests of their
fellow citizens, will discourage these outrages
upon law and order. No good citizen can sus-
tain the violations of law which that hydrantr
headed monster, the New York rowdy, is con-
tnually committing.

THE CENSUS HUxBue-CoMNa At THE FAcrs.-
We have received several communications in
regard to the census humbug, which places the
population of the city Of New York at consid-
cradle less than IL was in 1860 We find from
statements in these communications that our
charge that the census takers have been lazy or
incompetent is amply sustained 1t is useless
to mix up politics with the matter, as some Of
the partisan papers are trying 70 do 1t is q
nero question of business, in which it is appa-
rent the peoples agents have been fsithess.
It would be well for the next Legislature to
take some steps for revision Of the census, or
for lis being retaken by careful, competent and
xesponsible men. In the meantime we call
upon our citizens to supply us with all the facts
nm the remssness of
