The Next Census-Objections to the Proposed
Plan Of Making the Enumeration.
In my dispatches last night briefly alluded to
| the TACT that DR.. J. O. G. Kennedy, who may be
called the father OF the census law now in force
| and who has twice executed It, had made q state
memo before the Census Committee on Saturday
crtcising severely the next plan proposed to be
adopted. Mr. Kennedy expressed strong reasons
in opposition to any change In the period OF making
the enumeration, and contended that the United
States marshals had heretofore proved efficient
agents OF the Government in taking the census and
should be continued. Mr.. Hough who has recently
been appointed to the charge OF the census records
has sentin memorial to the Census Committee which
was printed House document the purport OF
which includes general assault upon the law OF
1850 and representations 10 discredit 1t. Mr. Hough
in his document, had urged that the idea OF Provost
Marshals "in the minds OF the lower classes and
the fear OF enrolments would interfere with the USE
fulness OF the marshals as to some Of whom 'there
was general unitness Ior character and honestly
stance record OF the penalties OF the law having
been enforced.r He represented that the assessors
or special appontees should take the place OF mar
shas and their assistants. Mr.. Kennedy insisted
that the United States marshals afforded the best
agency because OF their relations to the gov
ernment to the United States courts and
to the department. also In their being bonded
officers with convenient places Of business, having
jurisdiction wherever the laws extended; as a class
ply OF their districts obtained in summoning uries
and witnesses and serving writs. He asserted that
they had generally heretofore performed their duties
very satisfactory and the fact of there never having
existed any occasion TO enforce against them the
laws for penalties supplied the best reason for con-
tnuing the use OF an agency which has been awaited
OF for three-fouiths OF a century; that they were
not feared much as the tax gatherers'
assessors, VINO had work enough on hand
and who must neglect the revenues or the
census, and probably both. Mr.. Kennedy, not know
ing Dr. Hough and ignorant OF his presence in the
committee room, proceeded to scorching review OF
his document, which he declared to be full OF mis-
representations of the law OF 1850 and illustrative OF
the visionary theories OF unpractised mind, and
II the committee should be Influenced 10y It's recon-
mendations the consequence to the United States
census would be such as had attended q recent one
In the state OF New YORK. He proceeded to show
the unreasonableness OF the numerous attacks upon
the Census law OF $780, which he declared to be not
only misrepresented, but msquoted Mr.. Kennedy |
was not heard through for want OF time, but VIII |
appear again before the committee the present week
