Notes upon the Office Of Enumer.
aGOr under the Census Law.

The following notes upon the Office OF
Enumerator under the Census Law, are pub
lished by Francis A. Walker, Superintendent
Of Census:
The prescribed duties of an enumerator
at the Tenth Census, under the act of March
5, 1879 will, in the main, be identical with
those OF assistant marshals at the Seventh.
| Eighth, and Ninth Censuses, under the ac,
II May %, 1850; but the provisions OF the
law regarding the time for which the enum-
eratiOn shall continue and the size OF enuncr-
alton districts are such as to make the office
II enumerator differ very widely from that
of assistant marshal under the law recently
repealed.
by the act of 1850 (Revised Statutes, 1873,
2i7S) the subdivisions for census purposes
were not permitted to exceed 10000 inhabi-
tants, unless that Limitation should cause in
convenience, in which case the subdivisions
might be larger. BY the act Of 1879 (sec-
ton ! u enumeration districts are not per-
mittcd to exceed 1 90 inhabitants, according
to the census Of 1870. Ii is the view OF the
Department that the number Of inhabitants
in enumeration districts should ordinarily,
except in cities and large towns, fall consi.i-
erabiy below this limit. Only for the strong
est reasons should more than one town or
township, in States where the civil-township
system exists, be comprised in any enumera-
ton district.
by the act of 1850 assistant marshals were
ALLOW ed from June to November l to COM
plete their canvass, and make their returns
(Revised Statutes 1873, 2l49). BY the
act of 1879 (section l9) the month OF June
only is allowed for the enumeration of dis
tricts, while in cities having more than l0,-
900 inhabitants according to the census OF
1870, the enumeration is required to be taken
within two weeks from the first Monday OF
June.
Section 10 Of the act of 1870 contains pro-
visions relating to the compensation OF
ennmeratOrs. The Superintendent OF Cen
sus Is authorized to allow, Ia such subdivi-
sions as he may select, certain sum, as Il
maximum, for each living ihhabitant enum-
Grated, each death reported, each farm, shop,
&C., returned, and in such subdivisions no
account Of the number Ut days VI fieid-work
need be kept.
In all other districts, ii higher rates Of

The accumulation of gold and silver
coin is progressing SO rapidly that the
question OF storage is one that gives the
Treasury considerable embarrassment.
The Secretary regards the coin balance so
strong now that he has concluded to make
arrangements to offer gold in exchange
for greenbacks at all the sub-treasuries in
stead Of combining such exchange, as here,
tofore, to New York. The great problem
of the Treasury now is not how to main
tain resumption. but how to induce people
to take gold for their greenbacks and 81
relieve the pressure on the Treasury
vaults.

The Newburyport Herald well says that
the work of the greenback party seems to
be the breaking up of the democrat party.
1t adds, ''We see it here in our midst; in
Massachusetts and in Newburyport. A
stranger would find it difficult to tell by
the calls of caucuses, which was the true
democratic eau, us, and from the nomina-
tons he would be puzzled to know what
principles divided men who put up the
same candidates to be voted for"

The political status of California is fixed
at last. 1t is Republican State. The
Governor, Lieutenant Governor. Secretary
of State, Treasurer. Controller. Surveyor
General, and Superintendent of Public In
struction are republicans. All four of the
Representatives in Congress are republi-
cans. And eleven of the twelve Supervi-
sors for the city and county of San Fran
cisco are also republicans. This is great
gain, and it restores California to the list
OF Republican States for some time to
come. The fact that there were more than
two State tickets in the field this year, and
that the republican candidates were elect
ed bya plurality instead of a majority vote
does not affect the main proposition, that
this is decided republican victory.

Hon. John ID. Long, who has been nom
mated as the republican candidate for
Governor in Massachusetts, is native OF
the town of Buckfield, in Oxford county,
Maine. He made several speeches in
Maine during the late canvass, which
were received with great favor. He has
been in tho legislature Of Massachusetts
since 1872. as a member Of the House, OF
which he has been Speaker. or as Lieuten-
ant Governor presiding over the Senate.
He is very popular. His rise in politics
has been very rapid and continuous. Two
years ago h was mentioned in connection
with the GOvernorship, and had a number
Of delegates pledged to him in the conven-
ton. Finding that he could not be nom
mated however, his friends Withdrew his
name. Last year he again came before
the republican convention as the candidate
for Governor. and developed great deal
Of strength; but being unable to secure
the first place Oh the ticket, he consented
TO accept the Lieutenant Governorship.
Ills opponent in the convention, Hon.
Henry l.. Pierce eff Boston, is man OF
great popularity in the city. and hard
man to beat. The republicans of Massa-
chusetts are well united in support of Mr.
Long, and will undoubtedly give Butler
another defeat. but they ought to put IA
good deal of work into the CANVASS
