The Cena.Ss of 1880.

We learn by disps.c nes f1ym Washington
that Gen. Francis A. Walker, Superintendent
of Census, is vigorously pushing forward the
preliminary work of his Office, and completing
as rapidly as practicable the classification of
subjects to be confided to the charge of special
lists. Mr.. f. FL. Wines, Secretary of the Illinois
State Board of Charities, has been en-
gagged to conduct the inquiries respecting
the blind, deaf, and dumb idiots, in
mates of prisons and reformatories, etc.
The statistics relating to these classes
have hitherto been SO defective that, as Gen.
Walker expressed it, they were not worth print
ing. Not only is this true, but, like all other
worthless statistics, they were worse than use
less, because they have been quoted and false
conclusions built upon them An important
feature of the new Census law is that which re-
quires the superintendent to obtain the facts
relating to the condition of each railroad
corporation, and to the condition, char
acteristics, and operations of each rail
road. The schedules for these inquiries
have already been prepared and are now being
sent out. If anything like full replies are re-
ceived, the people of the United States will be
placed in possession OLA mass of most COM
plete and valuable information respecting rail-
roads to be found in any country Gen Walker
says that he finds tue matter of obtaining sta
tisticsof State, couaty aud n1uncipal debts the
most difficult and Important of any with which
he will have to deal. No plan for gathering
this class Of statistics has yet been determined
upon.

Mr.. Joseph B. Frye, a Boston man of
considerable wealth, was murdered two or three
weeks agosin manner so mysterious as to baf-
fie the ingenuity of the best detective talent,
and for while it looked as if the authors of the
foul deed would never be brought to justice. But
the mystery has been cleared up by the confess
sion of the murderers. The murdered man
was alone in his house on the night of the
tragedy, his family being absent from the
city, and had invited three BARRIERS, Greek
and two Italians, to spend the evening
with him. He had somehow contracted

bullet passed out, was slightly incrusted with
