The newspapers arc very industriously
engaged in accounting for the result OF
the census. rs shown by returns which
have been M ade public, and which show
a much smaller population than was eX-
pectcd. Great gains had been figured
up. Decrease in numbers seems 10 be
shown in many instances. and very little
increase III the greater majority of these
towns and cities where great increase
was counted upon. The Democratic pa
pcrs ale particularly ugly about the mat
ter and New York sheet devotes n
whole column to prove that dishonest
men under he control of the Republican
leaders, are making fraudulent returns to
effect Democratic localities. &c. &c.
None of the writer's have accounted for
tho results shown by any reason that has
Z semblancc TO the true reason.
The last census, tn at of 1860, was
taken by Il class ofotiicials. who well knew
that they were engaged in performing
the last official acts that adhcrents to the
democratic party in this Country would
ever perform, and were DESTROYS OF max
ing all they could ont of their position.
They were paid so many cents for every
person returned rs residing within their
district or sub-distfict, and therefore add
cd rs many names of imaginary persons
rs their fertile resources could invent. -
New York city being Democratic, to gain
IN additional representative, or more than
one TO Congress, they added ina ginary
names to the city lists to the number OF
thousands perhaps hundreds OF thousands
really taking the census mot as it was
in 1860, but in point Of mum bers, as il
was TO be in 1870 In this town the mum.
Der was increased in this manner more
than $50. If the number in New York
city was propoItionatcly increased above
the real population, it was shown to con-
tain 20O,0 more people than there real
ly were. We had really 45o population.
The census showed nearly 600, New York
showed population of near 500, 000-ap-
ply the same test of figures and the
result is rs shown above.
The fact regarding this town, are rs
stated, and are facts sworn to by assessors
and selectmcn Of this town, for the year
IS 81 OF 60, one of them being Il bachelor,
n democrat, and one, who was shown by
the census returns to have some three or
five children. SPARKHs.
