THE CENSUS.

The following communication has been
addressed to Col. Wright, Chief Supervise
of Registration, whose attention it merits:
PARISH OF LIVINGSTON. LA. N
July 18th, 1875.
To Col. VIM. Wright:
Dear SRI beg leave to call your attention
to the manner in which the census has bel
taken in the parish of Livingston.
am informed that Mr.. Martin, the man
appointed to take the census or enumeration
has grossly and wilfully neglected his duty in
making the enumeration. He has not been
over the parish, nor has he caused his clerks
to do SO in order to obtain the total popula-
ton.
He has only reported about six hundred
heads of families, or about thirty-six hundred
total population, when, in fact and in truth,
there are twelve hundred heads of families,
or near seven thousand total population. And
there was no difficulty in the way of taking
the enumeration completely and reporting the
same faithfully, showing the number Of III
hsbitants in the parish.
Being satisfied that the facts above stated
are correct herewith, in the name of the
people of the parish of Livingston, protest
against the correctness of the enumeration
and the reception of the same at your office,
and ask you to reject his report and have the
census retaken, and further notify you that
unless the same be done I will bring the
whole matter to the notice of the Legislature
ut its next session.
An early reply will very much oblige yours
respectfully, G.. d. WELLS,
Member House of Representatives,
Parish of Livingston.

What Mobile Thinks of the New Railroad
tO Texas


We may rest certain that the long hoped
for and long deferred project of reaching
Texas by railroad is now within the grasp oil
the city of New Orleans.
The advantage to that city Of swift com
nection with the great and growing State of
Texas can not be overestimated. 1t will rel
vive at once the waning prosperity of New
Orleans and restore her to her former proud
position.
This railroad with the opening of the river
mouth, must concentrate upon New Orleans
the attention of the entire South west Lib
population and wealth its growth, after the
early accomplishment of these two grand
events, will be unprecented in the history of
American cities. Her success must reflect it,
self upon the city of Mobile. We here will
be within the wave of her widening influence
and will receive vigor from her prosperity.
The above extract is taken from the Mobile
Daily Register, of July 18th, and is cheering
evidence that our sister city is fully alive to
the importance of a speedy and successful
fruition of the hope which has SO long been
felt that we should soon be in direct COM
munication with the Lone Star State. The
Register takes very proper view of the mat
ter when it suggests that Mobile cannot fail
to be greatly benefited by the project, tor it
too will then be in speedy reach of Texas,
and must derive great advantage from the com
nection. We fully recognize the Importance
and the advantage of having Mobile with us
as an ally in urging on the good work.

Cur Emigration.

We shall not enter into the details of
the controversy which every day or two comes
to the surface in reference to the management
of the Commissioners of Emigration, nor do
we propose to discuss the difficulties which
seem to tax the temper of Mr.. Lynch and his
colleagues of that body. But there is one
general fact on this subject that should not be
forgotten. An important source of the gran
dcur of America is the emigration to this
country of the Germans, the English, the
Irish, the Swedes and the other nationalties
who come and found cities and Common
wealths under our flag. For some time past,
partly because of the depression in business,
and largely, perhaps, because of the direct
interference of European governments, this
emigration has received a sudden and marked
check We are not exactly sure about the
figures, but we think it will be seen that
during the last year alone it fell off
fifty per cent. Now, if we were
to make calculation as to the money
loss alone resulting from this decrease it
would startle our readers. No doubt there
are causes leading TO it which we cannot con-
troll, and we must accept it as we accept the
national debt and other matters that, twenty
years ago, would have looked appalling if we
could have seen them in the vista of our his
tory. But while we are suffering from the
falling off in emigration it is unwisc to enter
into a wrangle as to the management of Castle
Garden. 1t would be wise for New York
State, or for the general government, to take
hold of this whole emigration question and
arrange it upon scientific principles. The
Mormon Church has established the best
plan of emigration in the world. BY the
operations of Brigham Young a Mormon
proseyte is taken from his Welsh or English
home, caught up in the arms of the Church
and safely deposited In Utah-his way
protected, his course clearly marked,
and every comfort that can be given to
traveller bestowed upon him. But by
our system of emigration the practical effect
has been that in thousands of cases emigrants
who come to America to unite their fortunes
with ours through citizenship are dropped
into New York, plundered by runners and
ticket swinders and allowed to find their way
as best they can where they may. Now,
instead of wraogling over head money and
the fear of officers, and twenty other triling
questions that every day come bubbling up TO
us from Castle Garden that have no possible
importance to the emigrant, why should not
this whole system be recognized? Emigra-
ton is, after all, national matter, and to US
there is no question more important. We
think the time has come for our State or for
the national authorities TO take hold OF this
question, to do away with the scandals that
row surround it and to give us a system
worthy of the subject and worthy of free
and generous country.

The British press is imperfectly known IN
this country and therefore the British people.
The journals which speak for capital, aris-
tocracy and stability give us most of our
opinions of English society. But there is a
press with millions of constituents which
leads the unresting, angry spirit of English
revolution. If such journals as REYNOLDS
Newspaper and Mr.. Bradlaugh's were known
here such meeting as that held in Hyde
Park yesterday would be better under.

workingmen's rights, attack the aristocracy,
ridicule the throne, and some of them cham
poned the Tichborne claimant till they made
his personal cause national one in the eyes of
the people. The subscriptions they collected
enabled the claimant to pay his great legal
expenses and the money was not given in
pounds, but in shilings and sixpences, and
even far,hings, from laborers, mechanics,
small tradesmep, ''navvies," costermongers
and innumerable local political clubs The
claimant was made q modern Jack Cade, and

20 far from ending, added to the excitement

so far from ending, added to the excitement
and indignation of the working classes, and
we see the proof of this in the Hyde Park
meeting, which hundred thousand persons
are SAID to have attended. In London no one
will be surprised at such demonstration in
America, because of the want of knowledge OF
the situation, many persons will be astonished
at this startling revival of question which
was supposed to have been finally set at rest.
But the truth is that the claimant of the Itch
borne title and property is but beginning to
be dangerous. If he had succeeded he would
have been dropped by his own party; but
when he failed he became martyr.
