CENSUS OF MONROE WARD.

CENSOS OF MONfLOE w WAFCD.
The committee appointed to take a
census Of Monroe Ward in conjunction
with board appointed by General Scho-
field submitted report to the Common
Council yesterday. The following result
is shown:
CENSUS OF WHITES.
Total number of whites over twenty one
years Of age, 1,S9S.
Number of whites not registered. 376
Number registered elsewhere. e............... II
4g9
Incorrectly reported not registered. ........ %
474
CENSUS OF BLACKS.
Total number of colored over twenty -one
years of age, l,754.
Number registered elsewhere. ..............14 149
Number not regstered.... 49
Number residing in Henrico county when
Number not twenty one when registered. 2
2l2
This shows and excess of l44 whites.
Our readers will bear in mind that 2,134
negroes were registered, whereas it will be
observed that the total number in the ward,
including those registered elsewhere, re-
siding in the county when the registration
took place, and those who were not regis
tered at all, is only 1,754. Is there not evil
dence Of gross frauds in the registration of
voters? Frauds by which Hunncutt, Lind
sey, and Cox, have secured seats in the
Convention as representatives OF the city
OF Richmond.
The official report of the registration
shows 1,46S whites and 2,l34 negroes re-
gistered. All but about forty whites were
found, whileanearly 600 negroes were miss
ing.
NATIylTIES.
But, in addition to the facts brought out
by the report to the Council, we are en-
abled to publish some other statistics con-
corning the population of the Third Ward,
which will be read with much interest.
First, the following, in regard to the ma
tivity OF white citizens:
Virginians, 1857; Germans, 20S; Irish,
13O; Scotch, "a; English, 20; French, 2l; I;
Italians, 4 Greek (Zetelle), l.; South
Americans, 2; West Indian, l; Poles, 81;
from Maine to Louisiana, AT.
OCCUPATIONS.
All the popular avocations are well re-
presented in the Third Ward; but the
trades are greatly in excess-themechanics
affordipg very respectable proportion of
the whole number. Professional men of
all kinds appear in force; more than
enough lawyers a full quota of physicians,
and as many ministers Of the gospel as can
we'll be supported. Twenty-Five persons
reported themselves "gentlemen by pro-
fession.
Among the freedmen, those classi-
fed as lGborerS of course outnumber all
others. House-servants and buffers have
been diminished in number since Lincoln's
proclamation. Negroes who have nothing
to do, and wouldn't do it if they did, de-
sired to be entered as gentlemen. The pro-
fessions are also represented, as We find 4
ministers, 3 doctors, member of the Con-
vention (Hon. Lewis Lindsey, 8 teachers,
and l lawyer. Possibly the last-named
should have been SGloyer.

Mr. Pendfeton is anquestionably the
strong man in the West and Northwest,
while he has ardent and enthusiastic
supporters in all sections. The Louisville
Courier of yesterday, in q review of the
aspirants for the Democratic nomination,
says:
While the East is thus csnvassing the
merits of various candidates, and wavering
between principle and expediency, the
Great West continues to adhere 10 Mr.
Pendleton as their favorite candidate, and
as the representative Of the principles
which they desire to see enunciated in the
platform. That Mr.. Pendleton is the
choice Of the West cannot be doubted. A
vast majority Of the Western votes are
pledged 10 him. He has hold upon the
popular affection Rhich sew men in the
country possess. He is the favOrite of the
Western people, Of Kentucky, and, we be-
lieve, Of the South. He will enter the
convention with more friends than any
other candidate, and his name will be
urged with fidelity and with earnestness.
We believe that even in those States where
he is not the fa7orite he enjoys in high
degree the confidence Of the party. His
moral worth, his integrity, his advocacy of
the principles Of civil liberty as enunciated
in the Constitution, point to him as the fit
representative Of the party in opposition to
the Radical doctrine of strictly military
rule.
|. The West will present him 10 the con-
vention az a candidate Of whom the coun-
try may wei be proud, and will advocate
his claims either until he be nominated or
until satisfied that the name ofsome equally
worthy statesman will more completely
harmonic the party. In urging his claims,
twill not be 10 spirit Of partisanship for
Mr.. Pendleton or Of unreasonable opposi-
ton TO other candidates; bat bis friends
will enter the convention with purpose of
impartially weighing the claims OF all, and
acting as the interests of the party shall die
tate. While entertaining this purpose
themselves, they will expect a correspon-
ding spirit OF concession on the part of the
friends Of the other gentlemen whose names
shall be brought forward, and like dis
position to unite upon any candidate who
may at once represent the principles Of the
party and command It's united support.
