A HOME FOR EACH FAMILY-INTKREsTING
CENSUS RETURNS.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce has prepared from
the Census statistics, table showing the NUM-
Der of families, the number of dwellings and the
number Of persons to each dwelling in fifty
cities of the country, commencing with New
York, and ending with Fall River. This is val
liable table, and presents some highly interesting
comparisons. For instance, New York, which
has 1856, 7s9 families, has but ,O44 dwellings
showing that the average in that city is three
families TO a dtoelling. Philadelphia shows well,
in comparison with this, with 1877, TAO families
having 112,S65 dwellings, the average number
of persons to each dwelling, throughout the city
being col
The class Of cities, of which Wilmington is an
example, make, as We might expects very favor
able showing, in these respects. Toledo, Ohio
of all the list of fifty cities, is represented as
having most houses, in proportion to her fami-
lies, Rochester, New York, coming next. We
give the figures of few of the cities, standing
nearest to Toledo, az follows

Out of the fifty cities, it Will be seen from the
above that Wilmington stands about twelfth on
the list in its low percentage of persons in each
dwelling-or putting it the other way its large
rate of houses to population. 1t may be
lirtle disappointing to find that there are even
so many ss eleven cities which rank ahead Of us
in this respect, for it has long been we'll known
that our city has nearly as many houses as it
has families; but it will be seen that the yaria-
ton in percentage is very slight between the ex-
tremes of the twelve cities given above, it being
but fifty-one one-hundreths Of a person. Day
ton has an average Of five persons and two
tenths, and Wilmington i've persons and seven
tenths. in each dwelling
1t seems not little curious to find New Or
leans, Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, Mil
waukee, and Rochester making so favorable an
exhibit. The explanation in regard to Washing
ton is found in its wide streets and the extern
sive plan of the city. The magnificent distan-
ces" make cheap lots in the suburbs, and the
level unconfned location of the city gives ample
scope in all directions, for the poorer classes to
occupy the cheapest class of dwellings. In the
Western cities, (such Detroit, and New Or
leans, the same wide streets are the rule, and
lumber is cheap. Two-story dwellings, are the
usual style, and one-story very common.
By comparison of the number Of families in
tons, it is found that the average number Of
persons to family is over ive-the usual allow
anoe-being nearly five and half.

TIE congressional committee of ways
and means have adopted aresolution direct
ing their chairman to inform Secretary
Boutwell,, that no new legislation is con-
templated relative to the negotiation Of
bonds of the United States. An effort was
made to pass a substitute to the effect that
it is inexpedient for the secretary to refund
the bonds under the provisions of the act
Of July IA, 1870, because the present is
not a favorable time, and because there is
no authority of law for putting it out OF
the power Of the United States to use the
money subscribed for its bonds for three
months, but it failed.

If THE Chicago Tribune thinks that
there is such heinous wrong in the fact
that $40, 900 was spent by friend at the
election of Senator Harlan seven years
since, what has it to say to the alleged
fact that three times as much was spent at
the late senatorial election in Iowa in Sc.
curing his defeat? We do not pretend to
vouch for the statement, and bring no &C.
eusation against Mr.. Allison; but the
friends of Mr.. Harlan claimed, without
hesitancy, that money defeated him, and
that it was used more layishly than at any
senatorial election ever held in the state.
We will not say that it was corruptly
used, but the charge was made without
hesitation by the journals in Iowa friendly
to Mr.. Harlan.

Mr.. DORSEY, the Senator-elect from
Arkansas, is president of the Arkansas
Central railroad. Patterson, Senator-elect
from South Carolina, is a successful rail-
road man. Jones, the successor Of Nye,
is said to be a successful mining and rail-
road operator. The new Senator from Ore
gon is railroad king. We do not know
how it is with Bogy, but it looks very
much as if the railroad power was looming
up pretty significantly in the Senate cham
Der. Is the day of political giants gone
by to usher in a day when railroad giants
are to shape the legislation of the country 1?
Mr.. Dorsey was born in Vermont. lie
graduated at Oberlin (; was captain of an
Ohio artillery company; subsequently be-
came an iron monger at Sandusky, Ohio,
and is now at Helena, Arkansas. His COM
petitor, Bowen, is said to have amassed
large wealth in railroads.

STATE AsSAYEss.

We entirely concur in the proposition
suggested by "Real Estate Agent" for the
appointment of State Assayer Of ores
and metals, which will be found in another
part of our paper. The writer of the arti-
Gle is one of our most intelligent and enter,
prising citizens, and gentleman who has
devoted himself largely since the
war to developing tho mineral and other
resources of our State. He has, however,
no interest in this matter, apart from the
general interest in which all may share.
But competent State Assayer zone who
can be secured without going outside Of our
city, would be of most valuable service to
the writer, who proposes that he should be
paid, not by the State, but by those re-
curing his services in the specialtes
named. The suggestion is one, in our
Judgment, of no small importance, and the
Legislature should at once provide for the
appointment Of such an officer.
