The Next Census.

We are glad the subject Of tile
coming census is being SO extensive
ly discussed, instead OF waiting Till
after it is taken for criticism. The
last report was very defective, though
probably less so than the preceding
reports. We were told that in 1860
there was from $50 to $40 per head
more wealth in Ohio than in either
Pennsylvania or New York &
The facts can be taken pretty ac-
curately, provided the requisite at
tention and ability be given it. In
addition to what has been usually re-
ported, we would like TO see SOME
other important facts. For example,
let us have a schedule TO show how
generally the comforts of life are
distributed among the people:
l. How many families are homeless
and reside in rented tenements
.. How many are employed In the
several trades and manufactures
What are the wages received ?
4. How many needie-women there
are, and what their remuneration
5. How many gardens of from ::.alf
10 twenty acres In extent? snE
6. How many farms OF from twen-
ty to fifty acres? 1- eia ti--
7. How many of from fifty TO one
hundred acres :? e.--
s. How many of from one hundred
10 two hundred acres?
Q. How many OF from two hundred
to five hundred acres?
10. How many cover five hundred
acres in extent?
IL. How many nonresident own
els of land, and what quantities do
they hold? -
II. How much capital il invested
in the several branches OF business,
and what are tile profits ?
13. How much do the people ex-
pend in spirituous and iermented
iiquorss -sl .r-l.
Information of this sort would
throw more light upon the social
condition Of the people than all oth
er facts that are. taken. Why. not
have regard for humanity as we'll IS
10 those imposing interests that daz
Ile by their magniiicence. and Yet
may he oppressive in their barden
upon those whose toll is the founda

An Interesting illustration of the
value OF rough breast works in the
field occurred in the course OF some
recent experiments at Shoeburyness,
England. Some earth works were
thrown ny, such as could be rapidly
constructe,! by troops in the field,
representing small main intrench-
mcnt, with rille-piis in front, and Il
hundred dummy figures of men were
placed under the cover thus Afforded
Thlrty.six rouads of shrapnel, seq
ment and common she'll were iircd
at this position, ata range OF th"us
ana yards. The result WAS one man
killed and three wounded. The po
sition would have been untcnab!e on
the open ground.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT.-On Saturday
night last, after midnight, q horse and
buggy was stolen from Mr.. Chester Gran
ger Of Pittsford, and on Sunday evening
at.8jo'clock the thief stopped with the
horse at Lansingburg, nearly ninety miles
distant. On Monday p. m, he went to
West Troy and was arrested al suspic-
ious character, by Sergeant Grace, Of the
West Troy police. He gave his name as
Charles F. Stanford, and said he resided
at Grant Hollow, N. Y. This statement
was found to be untrue, and the thief and
his horse were both kept under lock and
key. On Wednesday night Capt. Martin
V. B. Jones, of the West Troy Police, ar
rived at this place, and seeiug the notice
in the HERALD of Monday, that Mr..
Granger had lost his horse, recognized
it as the one detained in West Troy, He
at once took q team, went to Pittsford,
and notified Mr.. Granger, who went with
him back to Troy to recover his lost prop
erty From some circumstances that have
come to the knowledge of the Police since
tho arrest of this man, it is thought that
his real name is not Stanford, but Henry
w. Carpenter, and that he attended the
State Fair at Burlington, and may have
taken horse from that vicinity. If one
is missing the parties would do we'll to
address Capt. Jones at West Troy.

How Emancipation works i'm vir
ginia.

In our neighborhood, for the last two
more than q third has produced more
than force third larger before the war.
Negroes in the South do not now feign
sickness and work lazily, as when slaves:
The fear of losing employment is better
stimulant to labor than was the fear of
bodily punishment. The falling off of the
aggregate crops of the South is sufficient
ly accounted for by the want of capital 10
employ labor, without charging the ne
groes with the unwillingness to labor.
1 assure you, Mr.. Editor, that our me-
groes will be more profitable to their en-
ployers than were slaves to their masters.
Besides that we have adopted the high
pressure system of free competitive soci-
ETY. and exchanged hickories for hunger,
we see the fact every day exhibited
around us in the greater productiveness
and less responsiveness of free negro labor.
Negroes cannot live in the South as they
do in the West Indies, on the voluntary
fruits of the earth. They must work or
starve Having no lands Of their own,
and wholly incapable of holding and man
aging lands if they owned them. they
must labor on the lands Of the whites, for
they are only qualified for farming labor.
Even in Barbados, the products of the
island for some time after emancipation
were increased, because there were no
waste, unappropriatedl lands in that island,
and the negroes had to work or starve.
The failure Of the free-labor system in the
West India Islands has been rather owing
to the fewness and ineficiency of white
employers than to the worthlessness of the
negroes.-Fr0na "71e Freedman and His
Future" in the October number of Lippi1a-

SOUTHERN CHIvALRY.-The Bedford
CVa.) Sentinel relates that on a recent
Sabbath, during service at Leftwick's
Meeting House, in the southeastern part
of Bedford County, child sitting under
an arbor threw peach stone which
struck a young man. who instantly re-
sented it by throwing rock at the child,
which hurt him severely. The father of
the child witnessed the transaction from
window n the church, and Immediately
went ont and struck the young man who
had thrown the stone. This brought on
fight between the father and brother of
