VOTERS OF NEW YORK.-The recent census
of New York city, taken under State author.
ity, made the population OF that city, in sos,
hundred and six, which is not so much, by
over a hundred thousand, as was claimed in
1860 under the National census. We have
also by the same census an enumeration of the
voting population of New York, which give.
most extraordinary results. The aggregate
number of voters is set down at lbs, 975, OF
which II 7,475 are naturalized citizens, and only
81 800 are native born. This large access OF
the number OF naturalizcd citizens, as returned
by the census takers, and the fact that the ac-
tual vote Of New York city is as often below
as above that of Philadelphia, indicate that
a large. portion Of the foreign born male pOpu-
lation have been returned as voters when they
