WASHINGTON.
The Ninth Census-Per Cent. of In-
crease of Population of fhe
States and the Larger Cities.
WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-The organization
of the Census Bureau has been completed.
There are now two hundred and seventy
five clerks at work, and as fast as the re-
ports come in from the Assistant Marshals
of the subdivisions in the various States,
thew are thoroughly overhauled and COM
piled. and the nativites, ages, sexes and
occupations of the people properly classi-
fed: white and colored distinguished;
mining. manufactures, trades, professions
and business of the towns and cities fully
and distinctly given, and many interesting
statistical facts developed never before in
cluded in the census returns of our coun-
try. There is as yet no complete returns
from any city or State, and probably will
be none until about October 1. In many
cases Marshals are required to have a
subdivision gone entirely over, and it is
often found necessary TO have their ma
teriaI corrected, which causes much delay,
Superintendent Walkers the large cities
have all wonderfully increased in popula-
ton and wealth, but some of them will not
show as large population as has been es-
timsted for them, because of the absorp-
ton by the various suburban cities, towns
and villages of large portion of the pop
ulation of the larger cities. Brooklyn,
Jersey City, and the cities in
New Jersey and Connecticut contiguous to
and almost forming part of New York, will
show a great increase of population, the
large number Of whom do business in New
ha Mr-oAol oF
ports that the increase there will be sixty
per cent, while eighty per cent is the esti-
mate for Jersey City. Newark, it is claimed,
has one b hlndred and twenty thousand, and
a large number of its inhabitants do busi-
ness in New York. Gen. Walker estimates
that New York City will have over nine
hundred Thousand. From Boston nothing
has yet been received. The Marshal, how
ever, reports that there will be about ten
per cent. of an increase on 1860. From
Chicago there are but three wards com
plete, showing "a, Four wards from
Cincinnati, complete, show, 81, 28S; two
wards in Baltimore, complete, show 22, Gil,
of whom !, S23 are colored four wards of
Washington City are completed, and foot
CD 55, S44 This is less than half The city
shows an increase of seventy-nine and
one-half per cent over 1860. With George
town and Washington county this city will
have population of about one hundred
and thirty thousand, more than double
that of 1860. No returns have yet been
received from Missouri; but it is estimated
the population of that State has increased
about one tenth since 1860. There is not
vet ward complete from Philadelphia, but
from the sub divisions already in, an esti-
mate has been made that the increase will
be about sixteen per cent over 1860. All
# the Southern States will show a vast in
crease in population. Now for the first
time the entire colored population will he
enumerated and clsssed in the representa-
tive column, instead of one-ffth Of them IS
heretofore. Notwithstanding the devasta-
ton by the war in Virginia, that State will
show an increased population. 1t is dis
covered that in Virginia none of the schools
are in operation owing to the lack of prop
erlegislation, but they will be re- established
under the township plan of New England.
Altogether the ninth census promises to be
very interesting in facts and developments.
The RumOrs of Cabinet Changes
Gotten up by Thieves.
There is the best authority for saying
that there is no foundation In fact for the
late stories of Cabinet reconstruction. Nei-
ther the mission to Berlin nor that to Lon
don has been offered to Secretary Cox.
The President has given no intimation of a
desire to change any of the present Cabi-
net. These stories relate chiefly to the
Interior Department. 1t is now known
that they originated and have since been
persistently circulated by persons acting in
the interests of several Indian and land
rings that have Of late been badly defeated.
The same persons who have been palming
their statements of on the press with a
view 10 create an impression that change
was probable, have at the same time been
pulling political wires to secure the desired
result In a word, the whole thing is an
attempt of rings to break down the admin
istration Of the Interior Department.
The Prussian Reserves.
Baron Gerolt, in conversation with a
prominent banker of this place, remarked
to-day that King William had an army of
900, 600 reserves following him up from
Germany, and that if he got in front of
and surrounded Paris, he would still be
able to keep his communications with
home.
The German bankers.
Henry D. Cooke, of the firm of Jay
Cooke 4 Co., states that the fact that the
German bankers of this country are pre-
pairing to take the Prussian loan, Is a
healthy sign of our financial condition, and
instead of depreciating our bonds will then
to increase their value, from the fact that
such action on the part of the German
bankers is a sure proof of the financial sta
bility of this country, not only to meet its
own obligations but to take up the loans
of other countries. He says our securities
are to-day the best in the world.
Tin Vessels i'm Wooden Cases.
In reply to inquiries from Western deal
ers in spirits, the Acting Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue says in regard to the use
of tin vessels in wooden cases for shipment
that the law requires a stamp to be placed
on the outer surface of the case containing
the spirits, and the wooden casing cannot
he said to be the vessel containing the
spirits. therefore, to stamp It is not COM
niyipg with the law. The ruling is to the
effect that when the vessel is composed Of
two castings it must be so constructed that
neither can be removed without destroy
ing the utility of the other, and when SO
constructed will be regarded as single
vessel and the stamping and marking may
be done on the outer surface. Devices
coming within the ruling have already
been submitted to the Internal Revenue
bureau and approved.
Kentucky Fenian.
Application having been made by the
entire delegation in Congress and proml-
nent citizens of the West for the release OF
Lieutenant Colonel VIM. G. Halpin, Fe-
nian prisoner who has been in Chatham
prison, England, for over three years, the
President sent the papers to the State De-
partment, and our government is now In
correspondence with the British govern
ment on that subject. Colonel Hslpin was
an officer of the Fifteenth Kentucky
infantry during the late war.
