THE NEXT CENSUS.

Preparations have been vigorously
commenced for the taking of the gen
eral census in June next. United
States Marshal Hamilton has made the
necessary appointments in nearly every
district of the State.
The population Of Wisconsin, by
this enumeration, will exceed one mil
Hen, aud in that ease the State will be
entitled to eight or ten representatives
IN Congress. 1t will be shown, we
think that Jefferson county contains a
population Of between 10000 and
$4,000: giving US two representatives
in the Senate and FIVE in the assembly.

THE M0RMONS.

a remonstranee comes from the Salt
Lake Mormons, addressed to the Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
against Cullom's Utah bill, which has
recently passed the House. This bill
Is designed to aid in the execution of
the laws in Utah, and for the final sup
preston Of the system of religion
practiced by the people in that terri
tory, known as polygamy. The pro-
test is quite earnest and determined in
tone, and almost augurs fight" They
appeal strongly against its passage in
the Senate, and ask for the reconsid,
Grafton of the bill in the House of
Representatives
We trust there will be no backing
down on the position our Congress has
at last assumed in the matter of Nor
monism, and it is to be foudly hoped
that this disgraceful system will be
forever stamped oat of existence. and
never more raise its hydra head within
the limits of the United States.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR.
WASHINGTON March ii I

W <A61lNu4ON, MdICu Ii, 1917.
In arranging for subdivision OF their
district, according to the instructions
contained In circular from this Depart-
ment, under date cf Feb. 26. 1870.
Marshals will have reference to the fact
that the act of May %, 1850, requires
that the Assistant Marshal shall be the
actual enumerator.
Subdivisions cannot be farmed out,
in whole or part. Section 10 makes
it the duty OF the Assistant Marshal
to personally visit each family in his
subdivision, and, by his own inquiries,
collect the information required for re-
turns on all the schedules, except that
numbered 5 in the law of 1850, and 6
in the series printed for the census Of
1860
This duty cannot be performed by
deputy or proxy. here can be but
one Assistant Marshal in a subdivision
at any one time and in case the Assis-
tant- Marshal becomes, from any cause.
unable to carry forward tie enumer-
alton without serious intermission. the
law requires that his commission shall
be revo ed, and another assistant ap-
pointed in his stead
The rule is not only requirement
OF law, 1t is one Of essential justice, and
OF the highest expediency. Its viola
ton Is wrong to the citizen, as sub
Jectl"g his family and his affairs to in
quiry by unauthorized and irresponsl-
bic persons.
Moreover, it robs the real enumer-
ator Of portion of his rightful COM
pensation.
The rates of payment allowed for
this service by the act of 1850 must be
assumed, in the absence Of any infor
nation to the contrary, to be sufficient
at the present census. Buff that pay
ment is to be divided between one par
ty holding the contract and the other
party doing the work, it is certain that
the compensation will be found made
quate to secure capable and reputable
enumerators.
All that the law allows for this SER
vice must be paid to the men who ac-
taally do the work going from house
to house, from farm to farm, and from
shop to shop, collecting the statistics
of population and industry. It is upon
the character and capacity of these
officers that the country must depend
for the value of the coming census and
no arrangement will be tolerated which
goes to deprive them of any portion of
the compensation allowed them by law.
Marshals will keep this fact dis
tinctly in view. and will form their
subdivision with express reference to
their enumeration by single assistants.
In any case where the subdivision of
district has already been arranged
without sufficient reference to this con
Slderation, correction will at once he
made of the fault.
The requirement of the law in this
respect will be strictly enforced. Gen
eral publication will be made. of the
fact, SO that citizens may be advised of
their rights, and against parties not
authorized to make inquiries |
and information will be solicited of all |
violations of the law in this respect.

A Washington dispatch of the goth
ult. says
Already the death Of Major &c neral
Thomas has caused inquiry as to who
will be his successor. The rank of Sc
niority in the army ceases with the
grade of Colonel, and the President
IS always supposed to assume the priv
llege OF nominating the officer for pro-
motion, or, in fact, if he chooses, of
taking citizen from private life and
nominating him for the place. This
was done in the case Of General Rous
seau. Major General Schofeld was
the fifth in rank on the Brigadier list
when he was promoted to Major Gen
eral. The following is a list of the
Brigadiar Generals, and their rank:
Mcdowell, Cook, Pope, Howard,
Terry, Ord, Casby and Augur There
is 40 doubt, with those who ought to
know, that the President will promote
one of these officers to the rank of
Major General, but which one is not
known. The President announced to
bis Cabinet to-day, that the country
had suffered another calamity in the
death Of General Thomas, and ex-
pressed his intention of attending the
funeral Of the deceased, which will take
place at Troy, n. 7. tie latter part of
next week. The Cabinet officers will
also doubtless attend.

Patent Never Failing, Self Lockin.
WINDOW FAST

This is decidedly the best and most i'm
portant invention of modern times. Its
simplicity and wonderful adoption both for
House and Car Windows is perfectly as
tonishing; accomplishing every thing that
can possibly be desired, and set being
cheaper than any other window fast. For
house windows it dispenses with weights
and puleys. operating equally well on top
and bottt m sash, allowing either to be
raised or lowered as much or little as wish
ed to secure ventilation, and yet be locked
securely a. every point, from the intruder
or burglar and will never get out of order.
1t has the peculiar element of locking it.
seltin whatever position you leave it. For
steam or horse car windows they are finish
ed in a variety Of styles, making an ele-
CANT finish to tie car windows, and the
only arrangement ever introduced that can
never fail.
