Accommodation Needed.
Negotiations are In progress for the purpose OF
removing the terminus Of the Morsls ana Essex
Railroad from Hoboken to the Long Dock, Jersey
City, for the accommodation Of passengers. The
existing terminus is cramped and crowded that
passengers have not those ample accOmmoda-
tons which the large traac OF the road de-
mands. The passenger depOt ms been fitted
up comfortably within the past three years,
and owing to the fact that the Morris
and Essex Railroad was leased to the Delaware and
Lackawanna Company alter the improvements had
been entered upon and partly completed, the eX
tensve trade which resulted from the consolidation
never entered into the calculations oil the party
who designed the Improvements. Two railroads
the Erie and Northern New Jersey-nave their ter
minus at the Long Dock where every facility Is al.
fOred to passengers. The distance TO the tunnel is
much shorter than that from Hob0ken.
Should the change be effected The depot at Hobo
ken will be employed for freight exclusively. The
coal trade demands large portion Of the space al
ready occupied. Four years ago this place was a
swamp; to-day the cove is flied In from hOb0ken to
the Long Dock. Passengers will cross the PavOna

The Way They DO II.

NEW 1Ohk, oept. Ih.V.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
have ever been deeply impressed with the great
Importance of full AMI accurate decennial
census of the United States. As a geographer ana
statistical writer through along life, and as an Ame
rican citizen knowing the relation OF the census 10
the powers and privileges OF the people In different
districts both under the state and the United States
constitutions, have priced completeness and &C.
curacy i'm such documents as OF inestlmable value.
On the st OF June, 1870 was expecting to give the
name, age and birthplace Of each OF the fourteen
members of my family, then residing at No. West
F.ieh street. and to all questions Ofthe GEN.
sus taSer respecting them. with the exception Of a
single day, 1 was at home every day from June
to July 20 but was never informed that any census
taKer mad ever called at my house or inquired Tor
me or for any OF the members Of my family. 1t
seems, however from note in your paper, that .
taker did call some time IN july aud obtained
the Information respecting the OCCUPANTS or my
house, which he deemed sufficient Tor his purpose
from Henry simons, my colored walter 1 have
questioned Henry on the subject, and he says that
he mas vague recollection that one day-he thinks
II was In Juiy-as he was returning from al errand
man met INN on The steps near my door ana asked
who lived In the house, and the ages or myself
and oi my wife. and, it may be, for the names and
some other particulars respecting other members OF
| the family. He says that he told him that was
neariy seNenty-seyen years Old Tor he had heard me
say SO, but as 10 the ages, brthplaces,- &c oil the
! rest he says that he cothd not have told him. for
| he did not know them. Henry dId not know that
| tie man censns taker, what bis object was
III asking him snch questions He says that the
interview could not have lasted five minutes, and he
thinks moi three minutes, and the matter made so
little Impression Oh his mind that ne did not think
| or speaking TO me about It,
II this Is % fair specimen of the manner IN which
the census OF 1870 has been taken In any consider
able number OF cases need not say to you, sIr.
Editor, that 10 Will Oe very imperfect and unsatis
| factory document. In common with all friends o
statistical science, and OF our republican lnsttu
tIons, feel deeply indebted to you for your efforts
TO procure Tor correct census. Is 1t zoo late
| supply at least some OF the great omissions IN th
