that they may be imposed upon by any state
ments which the interest or caprice Of own
ers or agents may make to them. Ordinary
enumerators are equally incompetent to
judge Of mining. Interested parties who
wish to 'sbull" the stock Of their mines can
gull an ignorant census taker to any extent
they please and cause him to report their
fctons as facts.
In order to collect trustworthy statistics
of manufactures or of mining these sub
jects must be taken quite out of the hands
OF the ordinary enumerators and committed
to experts who understand enough Of such
industries to know where to 60 in quest OF
information and to judge OF its correctness
when it is given them. They need to know
enough of the subject to put intelligent
cross-questions and to apply proper tests
when they doubt the truth OF what
is told them. 1t is, hence, pro-
posed to employ a different sort OF
men from the ordinary enumerntors to
gather industrial statistics and to relieve
them from the dull routine Of duties which
require no special knowledge. This intel
ligent division Of labor is not merely expe-
dient, it is indispensable. We trust that
when Congress reassembles it will lose no
time in superseding the obsolete and blum
dering law OF 1850, under which it is impos-
sible to take a correct census.

ACADEMY OF Mus1c-"cAnMEN."

Bizet's opera Of Carmen has been often given
at the Academy Of Music during the present season
and fully described that it is unnecessary to do
than mention the fact that in its repetition last
evening it lost of the interest which has at
tached to the performance since the opening night.
Both music and story grow upon one with every
rendition until It's rollcking airs and associations
have become familiar in nearly every cultivated
household. The Gypsy Of Miss Minnie Hauk is an
artistic creation for which she has shown herself
be peculiarly adapted by both OF her physique
and voice, while the laurels by Signor Del
Puente, ~ the Toreador: by Campanini, Don Jose
by Nine Sinico Michacla: by Nine. Iablache. as
Mercedes, and other members OF the troupe, win be
always remembered among the pleasant "reminiscences
Of the operate season. The audience large and
heartily appreciated the gems of the opera.

Students in Russia.

In some countries an smeute originating
in the discontents, whims, or caprices OF
students is difficulty OF q certain impor-
tance. In France, in Germany, and in Italy
it has sometimes been recognized that when
the governments had no other limitations
CT their powers they were limited by the
opinions OF the schoolboys; and under an
adverse demonstration of those opinions
thrones have gone down that had resisted
all the legitimately presented hostility OF
the people. In those countries the vigor-
Gus generations rule, and the students
are the more intelligent as well as
most obstreperous section Of the vigor-
Gus generation. But Russia has been
exempt from effective demonstrations of
that kind of opposition, and is not likely
to adopt it as national institution. Con-
sequently the disturbances in st. Peters
burg will perhaps not prove of great signifi-
canoe in Russian politics: but alas! for the
youth concerned in them, we fear the events
will prove indeed significant to them, and
will entail on many toilsome journey to
Siberia.

told the committee that nc would not take the

them to modify this provision. The COMMITTEES
showed him their charter. in which 1t is expressly
provided that each stockholcr is entitled TO a seat at
every operate or dramatic performance, and an.
iloge After Colonel Maplesons return to New York
note was received from Mr.. Havey, his agent, ask
ing il the committee could not modify the free seat
proviso, and saying that Colonel Mapeson would
wait week to hear Ii his request could ba
complied with. The committee did not deem IL
necessary to say anything further. having announced
their ultirnattIn and at the meeting to-day no fur
ther action was taken, as one of the members in.
formed me, because they have no power even if
they have tho desire.
There $50 stockholders, and at each oporatio

IS Red lleaPy.

Some recent incidents in the career of
that ornament Of modern society named as
above are perhaps not without interest to
the man himself, but they are of far greater
interest to the public generally. They seem
to imply that provided justice only con-
Germs itself with the small fry Of rogues it
may go on and take into custody and try
and condemn to its hearts content; but
that when it ventures to put its hand on
the Vautrins of our criminal world the
case is altered, and that it must expect to
fight for the indulgence. The recent at
tempt to rescue "Red" Leary, and the
demonstration in court on Thursday, are
evidences that the criminal classes do not
intend to be .fooled with"-do not, intend
to tolerate the interference Of the authori-
ties with their favorite pursuits. Their
demonstration in court was one of peculiar
significance. Are professional criminals
already so numerous with us that they can
present themselves in the dominating aspect
of majority?
The New York herald., 1878-12-21
No Ocean Subsidies without Free
Ships.

We need lines of ocean steamships con-
Meeting our ports with those Of South
America, not for the benefit Of John Roach,
but to benefit and build up the commerce
of the United States in tho interest of the
whole people. We are willing to make
large concessions for the sake Of free trade
in ships. The advantage would be SO
great that it is worth purchasing at q
pretty stiff price, if the friends of
the measure are not strong enough
to carry it on its merits. 1t would be
absurd to take money out Of the Treas
ury to make up the loss Of sailing John
Roach's ships to South America, if cheaper
ships purchased abroad could make regu-
lar trips without loss. But it is said that
new lines could not be established, even of
ships purchased in the cheapest markets,
without loss in the early years Of the
experiment. Suppose this is SO, and
what follows? Not by any means
that we should double or quadruple
the necessary subsidy in order to put
money into the pockets Of John Roach
If John Roach and his partners want q SUBJ
sidy of a million dollars, and n company
permitted to buy ships where they pleased
would establish line ii guaranteed SUBJ
sidy of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. there would be neither sense,
economy, nor justice in wasting three
fourths of a million of the peoples money
in bonus to grasping individual.
A large number of the ablest men in Con-
gress favor free ships, but probably they
are not yet a majority. They would be
justified in voting handsome compensa-
ton for conveying the South American
mails, if they could thereby acquire a suf-
ficicnt reinforcement for carrying the great
and benefcent measure OF free trade in
ships. If we must grant subsidy let it be
reduced to the smallest amount by enabling
the new line to save large part Of the ex-
pense Of its outfit.

sheridan Victorious.

Yesterday was concluded the long trial
of the case against General Sheridan, sued
for the value of property on Louisiana
plantation of which it was claimed he had
by military force wrongfully deprived the
rightful possessor and the jury gave vcr-
dict in favor of the General. Iftheyjudged
the case ON the rules presented by the
Judges charge, as it is to be presumed they
did, they were satisfied that the person who
sued as the possessor Of the property was
not actually in possession Of it at the time,
and further had no just title to rep
resent himself as the owner. Only on
the ground that Sheridan acted for the
owner, and that the man ousted, even
though not the owner, was not in legal pos
session, could the course of the General be
justified, as the Judge charged. He was
sustained, therefore, on the evidence as to
those points. Everybody will rejoice in the
