Gen. Walker expects to make all the
preparations for the census next fall, and to
make the actual enumeration In months
time. The statistics Of population will then
be given to the public almost Immediately.
The results Of the previous census were COM
pleted and printed In 1872, and this time he
expects to finish the work in much shorter
period. The census Of 1860 was not published
till 1868, and that of 1850 not until 1859 so
that 1t really had no value except an histori-
cal one. Improved organization, aided
by the telegraph. has changed all that, and
Gen. Walker expects to make the census
OF 1880 In every way d model Of promptness as
well as OF completeness.
