INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE CENSUS.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The following circular
pIrAnrMENr OF TIE Is1ERIoR. WASHINGTON. D. CT

has Just been issued:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, WASHINGTON D. CD
May 81, 1870.
Itisdeemed expedent to call the atentiono Marshas,
and Assistant Marshas specially to the rules which are
intended to govern the enumeration OF youth absent
from their homes for the purpose of education At the
eighth instructions OF the Department required
that such should be reported at their family
homes Only those members OF school or college were
TO be reported the where the Institution was
situated who belonged 10 families there resident. EX
animation of the returns deposit In the Depart
ment exhibits the fact that contrary To Instructions
almost the entire number of students IN many
colleges academies and boarding schools OF the
country were returned in body. The instructions
for the ninth have therefore been drawn with
view to what believed 10 be the more natural method
of reporting persons absent from their homes for the pr
poses education. Upon page or the palnpnle or IN
sructious for the guidance OF assistant narsds Issued
from the Department Of the Interior under date OF May
il directed that ehldren and youth absent for pul
poses education the lt of June, and having their
home in family where the school college Is situated
will be enumerated at the latter place" The large mum
her of persons habituay absent from their family homes
for purposes of education, renders the observance OF
these instructions matter Of great Importance. THIS
rule will embrace not only students OF colleges
academies, &c, who board and lodge with
some family OF the town, but also those who
occupy rooms in the public dormtory buildings
taking their meals in common in clubs or III
private families. In word, all tue students Of l1sbti
buttons will be reported in the town where II Is situated
except such have homes in adjoining towns to which
they haMtuay return at night. IL WILL therefore, De
incumbent upon Assistant Mar,hals OF SUBDIVISIONS IN
which such institutions situated to take care that
the students fully returned according 10 these III
structions: and upon all Assistant Mar~hals OF SUD
divisions out from the returns OF families the
names Of all members thereof who on the lst Of June,

MANIFESTATION.

A son of Gov. Holden was candidate
for Congress recently in the Raleigh IN.
% district and defeated. But he has
announced his determination to contest
MS successful opponents claim 10 the
seat upon the ground that the negroes re-
fused to come TO the polls because they
were inundated This is certainly the
weakest invention that We have yet heard
of to get a seat in Congress which the
people refused at the hallot-box to give.
We have not heard whether Mullins and
Jerusalem Smith have determined to con-
test upon the same ground, but rs there
is very large negro vote in both their
districts, We presume that their prospects
for success are quite as favorable as Col
Frossers, who it is said has determi ned
to play the principal part in a
political farce entitled, CHE stoops
TO conquer" To show the utter
absurdity of any such reason
for his defeat it is only necessary to con-
suit the returns of former elections and
compare with the present. Take the
tote for Grant in 1868, for Prosser in the
same year and for Prosser in the last
election in this Congressional election. II
is as follows:

HIS EXCEIIENCY,

The weak message of the President
does mol seem to give satisfaction to very
many OF his own party Both the matter
aud the manner of tia document have
disappointed the higt expectations of
leading Radical journals. The truth is
Gen. Grant is decide3 failure as a Pres
ident. His politicals friends endcavoIed
10 bolster him up IN the public esteem
until many of them have come TO the
conclusion that it is party policy to let
him sink rather than tocontinue the false
prctenses by which they have attempted
to beguile the people Nevertheless there
are powerful influences at work TO secure
for him the nomination in 1872. The
Federal patronage will he freely used to
accomplish this result wherever it does
not interfere with the privileges and i'm
muuitieS of his Excellency's beloved re-
lations. The bondholding interest will
spend their money freely TO accomplish
this result, and there are numerous rings
which viii work energeticsly TO the same
end. He may possibly by such mesGs
obtain the nomination. We hope he may,
for he will be the weakest candidate that
can be started against the Democracy.

1t will thus be seen that Col. Prosser's
vote in 1870, was larger in every county
IN the district than in 1868, except David.
con and Williamson. 1t will DE seen that
his vote in 1870 was larger than Gen.
Grants in 1868 except in Davidson, Will
hanson and Wilson. His total vote in
1870, is only 376 votes less than il was in
1868, and 1880 votes less than Gen.
Grants in 1868, while Col. Golladay's
majority over him is 2, 1868 in 1870. In
Wilson county, the county in which
Col. Prosser's friends insist that
the intimidation was most complete and
effective, his vote in 1870 was o. more
than in 1868 and only 500 less than
Gfsnrs. His greatest falling off was in
this county, and yet the Radicals them.
selves admit that about the large cities
the pegroes came 20 The polls in full force
and voted with perfect freedom. The
intimidation cara will not win. We hone
Col. Prosser M not permit his rash
frieutis 10 lead him into the taking of a
step which can do him no good and must
inevitably lead 10 the loss of the respect
of many who would like 10 continue Ia
entertain a favorable opinion of hin,
personally.
