ABOUT THE CENSUS.

We have kept careful watch for Census re-
turns of this city, and are now able to give
the official figures from fifty -four Election Dis
tricts. As these districts are scattered over
all the territory of the city, reaching all classes
of population, there is good reason to believe
that they indicate with tolerable certainty the
average of districts yet to come in. The fifty
four in our table, then, may be taken as about
one-seyenth of the population of the city, and,
allowing for contingencies Unforeseen, we are
compelled TO dsappoint the public with regard
to the aggregate number of residents within
our borders. Unless there is some serious
error in the figures thus far given, we shall have
to be satisfied with from $50 900 TO 87j 0O0 instead
of the round million or million and a quarter
that gushing New Workers have been claiming
for the last five years But New-York is not
bounded by the North and East Rivers. We
have in our business streets at midday hun
dred and fifty Thousand more people than at
midnight. NewYork has spread all over
Long Island, over Westminster County, into
Connecticut, taken fOrcible possession of
Staten Island, and colonized all Eastern New
jersey. Within these boundaries are more
than two millions Of wide-awake people, who
are practically Newly orkers. Here they do
business, make or lose fortunes and center all
the ambitions and enterprises of life.
We add to the figures of population, so far
as returned the vote given last May, and the
vote for Governor in 1SGS-the largest vote
ever given being on that occasion. Addi-
tiOnal columns show the percentage of
voters to population. And here comes in
a singular erpoSf that can Only be
explained by the notorious fact of wholesale
fraudulent voting. Deducting five per cent
for the increase since November, 1868, we find
that the vote actually cast was one for each
five persons Ill the city. In 1866 there were

fault in tracking the murderer of Mr.. Nathan,
crime is rampant in the City. No less than
Dne homicide, three attempts at murder, and
a suicide are reported as among the crimes
committed yesterday. Superintendent Jourdan
ought not to forget that under these circum-
stances his direction of the police is closely
acrutinzed, and that if crime is not checked
and murderers are not detected, he will be
severely criticised. He is in his place, backed
by a large force, not merely to detect Grim
inals, but TO prevent crime.

credit might be more firmly established,
the ease of funding the debt at a lower rate of
