CENSUS TAKING.
Questions To be Asked and Answered
Assistant HarshaIs for the Middle
District

This being the first day of june, the
Marshals and their assistants commence
the work of taking the ninth census Of the
United States. Many changes have taken
place during the last decade, changing in
many aspects the system Of labor, and
diversifying the avocations Of the people,
that will attach unusual interest to the next
reports from the census bureau. To-day
the work is begun in each county, and will
be prosecuted until all the inquiries en-
braced in the census takers catalogue shall
have been asked and answered. These
questions are almost multitudinous, yet es-
sential to complete and accurate statisti-
cal report, such as is desired from the
process. Each dwelling and family is
numbered by the census taker in the order
of his visitation. The names Of every per.
son whose place of abode is in the family
on the first day of June, 1870, is taken.
The age at last birth day is taken, and if
under one year (ssy three months the
fractional part Of the year Is noted 5-l2.
The sex, whether male or female, is taken,
and thetcolor, white, black, mulatto, Chi
nese or Indian, is carefully recorded The
value of real estate and personal property,
with the profession, occupation or trade Of
each person, male or female, is recorded.
The place of birth, naming State or Terri
tory Of the Uaitsd States, or the country,
if of foreign birth, is taken down. The
parentage, whether foreign or native, is
also recorded, and the fact stated if born
or married with the year and the month of
of the event named. The deaf,
dumb, blind, insane and idiotic
are registered. The constitutional rela-
tions Of each citizen receives the investi-
CATION of the ubiquitous census-taker; all
citizens of the United States of twenty-one
years of age and upward are classified, and
| all such persons, whose right to vote is de-
MED or abridged on other grounds than re-
| bellion or other crime, are reported.
The taking of the census is s source of
vast information to the statisticians, the
economist and the statesman, as showing
the increase and quality of population, and
| development of the resources of the coun-
try, the latter being tho result of popula-
! ton and industry. The Assistant Marshals
engaged in the business should be careful
in procuring correctly all the facts desig-
mated in their blanks, and persons should
chserfully give the required information.
There have been appointed siIty-hve
| Assistant Msrshals for this business in the
Middle District of the State, and we learn
that thcy are for the most part efficient
and competent men, capable of making
quick work of the job. Neat and substan'
tial blanks, on excellent paper, have been
furnished them, and to-day they sally forth
all over the State, taking, as Mrs. Parting
ton would say, ''the senses of the people.

violent and Mysterious Assault.

At o'clock yesterday morning man
entered the room at the depot OF the Nash
vile and Decatur Railroad, occupied by
Mr.. Spencer, telegraph operator, and made
an unexpected and violent assault upon
that gentleman, striking him two or three
times with club. The man making the
attack was much stouter than Mr.. Spencer,
ard astranger to him and other persons
about the depot at the time of the occur
renee. Mr.. Spencer is without any knowl-
edge as to theidentity of the.assaulting par.
ty, or as to the cause Of the attack, as he
has had no difficulty with the big man who
thought 50 nobly, or any body else. 1t
may be that this is another case OF mistaken
identity. and that in the hurry Of business
Mr.. S. was taken for some less worthy man.
Mistakes will happen.
