Senator CoNKIING's recent telling speech
against the House Census bill 10 attracting con-
siderable attention. Mr.. SupNsR is visionary as
usual, and defends the absurd theory that because
there has been 40 increase Of population In the
last ten years. Il is absolutely necessary 10 launch
into extravagant expenditures in taking the new
census.
The tendency 10 increase public expenses upon
one plea or another has been fearfuly grow
ing within the last few years, and II is time that
II should DO checked. Expenses in bureaus Ike
the Agricultural, Educational, Land, Statistical
and now the proposed Census Department, are
supposed by their advocates TO reflect and pro
mote the progress Of the country. But Il will be
found that they reflect only the progress Of
ostcutation, wastefulness, and Capitalization, and
make a tremendous show without yielding any
adequate returns.
The panacca for all public evils Is believed 10
be the establishment Of huge Government organ
nations with their costly accessories Of employees
and printed documents. Ifthis is TO go much
further, the American people will be hopelessly
impoverished. The bureaus Of Land, Agricul-
turc, Education, and Statistics involve already
some fifty millions Of annual expenditure; and
now u ia proposed to increase the coat Of the
Census Bureau. The spirit which snimstes these
legislators Of new bureaus IA that Of buucombe,
and plays only into the hands Of patronage and
decentralization. Let US hear no more about new
bureaus; abolish the old once, and let the Amer
lean people work out their own progress, gentle

In THE city the fret effort Of every man Is
to buy lot on which he can erect q house for
his family and which he can call his own. This
Is his castle and his pride. Especially with for
eign citizens Is this an object. The only enemies
20 be encountered are dishonest officials and the
general corruption OF the times.
Taxation and assessmepts--twin instruments OF
oppression to conGscate property--are imposed
without the knowledge or consent Of the owner,
and In many cases against his most vigorous pro
tests. Every dollar thus wrung from bim beyond
tho actual necessity is an act Of tyranny and
downright robbery. Our Democratic Legislature
have promised us TO reduce these burdens. low
do they keep those promisesf A law now exists
by which landowner fraudulently or Illegally
assessed may rid his property Of the villanous
imposition. This remedy has existed for many
years, and has been oflen resortod TO with success
With the increase Of corruption and greed this
remedy has become obnoxious to those in pow

and two other bills In the Assembly legaiizing
fraudulent assessments and cutting OF the present

We take special satisfaction in commencing his
proposed law for securing an adequate supply Of
good jurors in criminal cases. In view of the
wcll-known difficulty Of getting juries in such
cases, Mr. Hall would have the Legislature enact
that no officer or judge in the city Of New York
shall excuse juror from service in either the
Court OF General Sessions OF the Peace, or Of the
Oyer and Terminer unless the cause Of excuse
alleged on oath on such jurors behalf be in good
faith, either that he is then personally absent
from the city, or is confined 10 his house through
illness, or is too unwell 10 serve. ny way Of COM
pensaton, he favors the further enactment that
every person serving as juror In a criminal law
court for twenty days within any jury year, shall
be excmpt from any other kind Of jury service
within said city and county during snid year aud
shall receive for each day actual attendance or
service a reasonable pecuniary compensation, To
