DIR, HARLAN's PROSPECTS.

eighty-iive members of the legislature to-day
who have pledged themselves to vote for him.
Only SiXty-one are necessary to choice.
WHAT SOUTH CAROLINA BowEN SAYS.
Bigamist Bowen, of South Carolina, who is
now here, has been interviewed both with re-
gard to himself and the condition of politics in
South Carolina. He claims not TO have any
particular interest in his contest with Delarge
for the seat in congress, but intimates that his
principal daiies now are confined to his state,
where he proposes to continue the war against
Gov Scott aud other state officials.
He says he will again prefer articles of i'm
parchment January 9th, and that it will cost
Scott, Parker & Co. 100000 to buy themselves
off asecond time. Even though they again sue
'ec", Hc says he VIII hecP tne 'iihS up "iit
their money andpatence are exhausted.
He says that he has facts in his possession
going to substantiate the grosScst corruption
and that the greatest republican victory ever
won in South Carolina depends upon the success
of his efforts. His explanation rs TO why his
scheme for impeachment did not succeed in the
first instance, is that Scott caused stories to be
circulated among the colored members of the
legislature, that those who voted therefor should
not be paid their salaries, and that the speaker
ruled in defiance to law and entirely in the inter-
est OF the governor. KELoN.

THE CENSUS REPORT.

THE CENSUS REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Copies Of General
Walkers report on the ninth census, intended
to preface the first or population volume of sta.
tistcS, have been mailed to many of the promi-
nent newspapers OF the country.
As the results of the census will, under au.
hOIty of congress be published in three large
octave volumes, the superintendent recommends
that compendium of the census, in octave
form, be authorized Tor popular distribution.
MINOR MATTERS.
The committee Of investigation reports every
thing correct in the printing bureau.
There are reasons for believing that the people
OF Massachusetts are being swindlcd by man
who is collecting funds there under the pretense
of establishing cOloled schools in Richmond,
Va. The signature of Charles Sumner on his
list, with a subscription Of $50, is a forgery.
The senate committee OF Investigation and ie-
trenchment has appointed Robert Lines as its
clerk, and will commence its duties next week
by investigating the general order business OF
the New York custom house. IL will then be
seen whether there is any foundation in truth
for the statements so positively made by diSai-
iected republicans, that Gen. Grant and his pri-
yatc secretary, Gen. Porter, are directly INFER

LAST MEETING OF THE CITY Council FOR
1.-The last meeting of the year always d =
fers from the othels, inasmuch as all minds are
generally occupied with matters foreign to APP
preparations and committee reports. Last eve
mag was no exception, and nothing Of great
Importance was acted upon, the time being
chiefly taken up by the JOINT convention, in
which Mayor Earle delivered his yaedictory adj
dress, as follows;
Gentlemen Of the Ciig Council:
Not qule eleven months have ELAPSED since |
CAME among you as stepiather, and YOU perceive
at once froui tnis fact how peculiarly wa placed
The organization of affairs had been comnleted and
could not Well be interered with If thnrn were TO
be any yielding IT must be on my part otherwise
Earring must arise.
Taking this view Of the case, sllt that ought TO

whole, and trusting mat all would eventually real.

prosperity, the morality, the comfort and general
welfare Of the city, aud that all wonld ultimately
gather around me as the real father How far [
have been successful cannot judge. only know
that from many have received words OF sympathy,
ana from others cordial endorsement
The indulgence shown me by the city council
has been more than had any right 10 EXPECT ftpr
having been presided over, many of YOU had,
for several sears, by so accomplished an officer as
the one under whom you enlisted, cannot fail to
acknowledge the kindness with which you have
Dorpe with my unparliamentary mlnuer Grateful
for your foFbearancaI will now briefly review some
of the more Important results of our combined
efforts.
1t is cause for eoagratulatiep to all good citizens
that the prosperity of the city has bean marked by
no abatement when compared with that Of the pfe,
seuiIg ave years. Pubic improvement has Kept
pace with the remaFEable growth of the city; good
order has prevailed TO an Almost Unprecedented de-
gree; fewer tres lave never occurred ID the sgipa
time and ratio 80 alarms of fire have occurred
Is said the whce loss will not exceed $4,000. No
very serious cases Of robbery, burglary OF arson
have been recorded among our adult citizens, 1t
