Proprietors and Publishers; ". II. Ruy.
tcett, Editor.-In the present need OF
domestic development and of external
aid, the public will, we hope, learn with
pleasure the intention Of the proprietors
to issue in the month of October next a
now series Of DEBow's REVIEW, from
their office, 127 Gravier street, New Or
leans. A corps of able contributors will
sustain the reputation of this standing
and sterling work, which will be, as
heretofore, exclusively devoted to the
moral and material prosperity Of the
whole South, and in no sense to the par
tisan or local advocacy of men or inter
ests. The reduced cost and improved
facilities for printing, with the known
skill of the publishing house of l.. Ora
ham, will guarantee 4 work comparing
favorably with similar periodicals in
Europe or America. Three thousand con-
les OF the initial number will he issued.
printed on fine paper, with clear, new
type, and in unexceptional style. AS a
public enterprise Of snch magnitude viii
require the active favor of all interested
IN Its success, we respectfully appeal to
the public to contribute to the circula-
ton Of the Rcriew, and to furnish such
communications to its pages as may en-
large the public knowledge. To favor
this cooperation the terms of subscrip-
ton, sale and advertisement, have been
reduced to meet the changed condition
Of the country and the convenient
ability of the people. Tho annual sub
scription will be 50; single copies 50
cents. With these efforts to make a
work worthy the favor of those to whose
welfare it is devoted, DeBop's Reriew
may be permanently established in the
city of its birth, and among the scenes
of its earlier labors, upon a basis suita-
bic to the great interests of which it has
SO long been the recognized representa-
tive. w. NJ. BURWELL, Editor.

Facts About the Census.

As the time for the taking of the
next census approaches much interest
is attached to the matter, and as a gen.
eral Misunderstanding exists in regard
to the appointing of enumerators, the
following law in regard TO the matter
will save much unnecessary correspond.
ence and'trouble when properly known.
The Secretary Of the Interior on or be.
fore the first day Of March, 1880, shall
appoint one or more supervisors for
census for each State, but the whole
number in the States and Territories
shall not exceed 100. The supervisors
shall appoint the enumerators for the
various counties Of the State. ANY
county exceeding 1000 population shall
be divided into districts 80 that no dis.
trict shall contain moro than 1900 in.
habitants. The enumerators shall begin
their duties on the first Monday in
June, 1880, and finish their work be.
fore che first day Of July, 1880, thus re.
quiring the work to be done in less
than thirty days. The compensation
will be two cents for each inhabitaut,

THE resolution of Mr.. Wolfe favor
ing the selection of honest men for of.
flee does not appear in the platform
adopted blythe Republican State Con-
vention. Does it follow from this
strange omission that Republican plat
form makers do not consider honesty
a requisite qualification in public
officers? 1t has that look, and GER
tainly the rascalities practiced by
scores upon scores of Republican Off
cials in the last fifteen years do not
belle the supposition. The resolution
offered by Mr.. Wolfe reads as fol-
lows:
ReSolred, That in view of the develop
ments Of corrupt practices in connection
with the riot bill in the last House, we
omphatically reafiirm that part Of the plat
form adopted by the Republican State
Convention at Lancaster, in 1876, and
which was re-adopted at the Republican
State Convention st Harrisburg in 1876,
which demands "honest men In office, men

PETER SUTroS, the Greenback nomi.

on the supposition that he was farmer.
IL turns out that he is and always has
been merchant, and never held a plow
or "cut a swathen in his life. His nom.
ination was secured through Frank
Smith. A natural inquiry comes in,
who is Frank SMITH The question il

THE Republican State Convention
met at Harrisburg, week ago yester-
day, to ratify Boss Quay's nomination
of Samuel Butler, of Chester county,
for the office Of State Treasurer. This
was done by acclamation. Quay had
matters his own way, and, save the
disgraceful and tyrannical attempt Of
Chairman Louis w. Hall to gag the
irrepressible Chas. Wolfe, of Union
county, the proceedings of the Conven-
ton were exceedingly tame. Wolfe
is not a good subject "to sit down
upon," as Hall discovered, much to
his discomfort and disgust.

Tho Alleged Over Issue Of State Bonds
Myth.

The supposed over issue Of State
bonds is fully explained by the discov.
cry by the investigating committee Of
coupon book kept in the State treasury
but supposed heretofore not TO have ex.
isted. BY this book it appears that S..
100000 in bonds were issued Of the
date 1852 and S5.OOO,O00 Of the date
1853. The bonds were placed in the
hands of the Girard bank and s., 400.
600 returned as sold and the receipt
given 10 ]. Bailey. State treasurer. for
the remaining 100000. This receipt
remained in the treasury until 1853
when Henry S. Magraw, then the State
Treasurer. demanded the return of the
bonds. The bank, OF its President.
returned instead Of the bonds Of 1853
S2s,O00 in money, S5l, 900 in bonds of
1853 and $2l 900 in bonds Of 1852,
making total of 100000. The auditor
generals office at that time appears to
have not noted the fact that the $2i 900
in bonds were dated 1852 but credited
them to loan Of 1853. thus making
the loan of 1852 100000 and 1858
$i26, 900. instead of 1852 81, ,g7Q. 600 and
1858 $4,000. Thus the apparent over
issue is simply more of the issue Of 1853
and less OF the issue of 1852, one
amount balancing the other.
