Poor OLD I.envenwOrtI..

The Leaven worth Commercial re-
Gently published an article on CEN
sus taking, in which, among other
things, 1t assumed that the census
of that city, lately completed, could
not be correct, and added "LeaVen-

since 1870, as true count of our
people will show"
Capt. Geo. Il. ANTHONY replies TO
this article in vigorous letter, in
which he asserts that the CENSUS
taken by the State is more reliable
than that taken by the United States
Government. Aud he adds:
sit is not a pleasant thing for me
to talk about, yet the fact is patent
that LeaVenworIh has lost in popu-
aaiiOn, and lost heavily, too, since
1870. The evidence is in sight of us
on every street, In unOccupied bust
ness houses and tenantless dwell
iuYs, where hundreds were engaged
in business, aud thousands domicil-
ell in 1870. Not only this, but we
haYe had u thinning out of numbers
in occupied dwellings. Families
content with four rooms In 1871,
now, from reduced rental valUes
occupy eight rooms, and crowded
boarding houses are no more Known
We cannot deceive ourselves

The past five years have been mark
ed by loss of prestige, loss OF power

through the wrong aud neglect OF
representative and business men,
cannot be made good by deception
or attempted cOncealment. The
