The Next Census.

As the time for the taking of the
next census approaches much interest
is attached to the matter. and as a gem
eral misunderstanding exists in regard
70 the mode of appointing enumerators,
the following law in regard to the mat
ter will save much unnecessary cor
respondence and trouble when properly
known. The Secretary Of the Interior,
on or before the first day of March, 1880,
shall appoint one or mors supervisors
of census for each State, but the whole
number in the States and Territories
shall not exceed $50. These super
visors shall appoint the enumerators
for the various counties of the State.
Any county exceeding 1000 in pop
ulation shall be divided into districts
30 that no district shall contain more
than 1000 inhabitants. These emu
merators shall begin their duties on
the first Monday in June, 1880, and fin
ish their work before the first day of
July, 1880, thus requiring the work to
be done in less than thirty days. The
compensation will be cents for each
inhabitant, 2 cents for each death
reported, 10 cents for each farm, and
Is cents for each establishment of
productive industry. Application for
appointment as enumerators must be
addressed to the supervisors of this
State when appointed.

The Adjournment.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
"Bulletin' says that although Randall
says Congress will adjourn the present
week, the prospect to-day is very slim.
The Legislative bill will not reach the
President before tomorrow. The Judi
cial bill has not yet passed the Senate,
and the Army bill has not been taken
up. The latter bills will be warmly OPP
posed in the Senate, and the Judicial bill
and perhaps the Army bill will be veto
ed by the President. In that case, and
il Congress should adjourn, it will be
Immediately called together again. From
tho above it will be seen that things are
about as badly mixed as they possibly
could be.

he went to serve the warrant but the
man refused to 60 as hs said it was not
his name, he served the warrant yes
terday morning and though ths name
was not spelled properly the defendant
was willing to go with witness. The
witness did not see any disturbance in
the neighborhood.

to the defendant, testified to hearing a
disturbance she heard Mrs. Gu-rin
crying murder" This happened
about $50. Witness did not 500 Mr..

rel was about. Witness said that Mr..
