THE CITY.
City Population.

From the Assistant Marshals engaged in
taking tie census in the several wards Of
the city, we learn that, though the work is
not thoroughly completed yet, enough is
known to insure population in the city
proper of near 10000. This does not in
clude the suburbs, which are very expan-
sive and populous, and which in most such
cities are embraced in the corporation.
Counting these residents, the population
of the city and immediate surroundings
would foot up to near $4,000. The census
of the city will develop large increase Of
business in every department as well as an
expansive population. 1t will also show
that this increased business is very widely
diffused among all classes of people, and
that vast amount of capital and energy
are engaged here in building up one of the
largest and most prosperous cities of the
Southwest.
