Taking the New Census.

| The following items of interest under
this head are culled from the Washing
ton Republican. The law under which
this work Is to be carried on provides
that the Secretary of the Interior. on Oh
before the LIST day of March, 1880. shall
appoint one or more supervisors of cen
sus for each State, but the whole num-
Der in the Territories shall not exceed
100. These supervisors shall appoint
the enumerators for the various coun-
ties exceeding 1000 in population shall
be divided into districts, so that no dis
trlct contain more than 1000 inhabi-
tants. These enumerators shall begin
their duties on the first Monday in
June, thus requiring the work to be
done in less than thirty days. The com
pensation will be two cents for each in
habitant, two cents for each death re-
ported, ten cents for each farm, and fif-
teen cents for each establishment of pro-
ductive industry. Application for APP
polntment as enumerators must be adj
dressed to the supervisors of the State
when appointed.

Chickasaw Messenger at the close of a
description of meeting in Pontotoc
county which was addressed by Gen.
Davis and Col. Nasser in behalf of
Greenbackery, and Gen. Tucker and
Capt. Mitchell in behalf of the Democ-
racy. The Greenbackers would not have
fair discussion, but were riddled with hot
shot nevertheless.

No Military Interference With State
Elections

As the fraudulent President IS deter
mined that no law shall be passed re-
peallng the war measures which author
lze the employment Of the United States
army and hordes Of deputy MarshaIs at
the polls III the elections for CONGRESS-
men and President, the people of Mis-
sissippi will see that their State elections
are not held at times and places where
they are liable to interference from that
quarter Consequently they will vote
down the proposed constitutional amend
ment which provides for the holding of
all these elections on the same day. The
press from the watch-tower, is giving
forth no uncertain sound. The Port
Gibson Revielle led off weeks ago. DIR.
Hunter in his Crystal Springs Monitor.
says:
We are decidedly, under the circumstances.
IN favor OF voting down the amendment. II
Will be time enough to make the proposed
change when we are out of all danger Of
Federal Military interposition in our State
and local elections. We believe with TrE
CLARION, it Is a great question and would call
the attention OF the Chairmen OF the county
Democratic Committees to the utiIitv at
having Democratic tickets so printed a. to
give voters a chance to vote an emphatic
against. We are glad that THE CLARION I
has called the attention of the people 10 this i'm
portant subject and hope that they will govern
themselves accordingly.

Increase In Telegraph business.

New YoRK, Sept. 1S.-There is no
more reliable barometer BY which to
judge Of the activity Of business in com.
mercial circles than the amount of tel
egraph service required, IS per cent. of
which is of commercial character, and
there could be no better evidence of re-
uiving commerce than the great increase
in that service. For the past two
months the Western Union company
has sent and received at its principal
Office in this city from $4,000 to $4,000
messages.per day, aud the present weeks
we're, inaugurated with the handling of
81 $40 messages on Monday. The
average has been 10000 per day above
the corresponding per cent of last year
when the business was considered large.
Some Of this is doubtless duo to the
steady growth of the telegraph business
but much must be attributed to 10
creased activity in trade.

Five Barrels OF Snakes.


Jonathan Rockwell, engineer at the
fire brick works at Sciotoyille, Ohio,
has csught aud killed the greatest nun
Der of snakes ever heard Of in these
parts. Some three weeks ago he pur-
chased five empty whisky barrels and
stored them in au ouibuilding to be
US for elder barrels when his apples
were ripe enough to be made into that
temperance beverage. Near the out
buildings there is ledge of rocks con-
tanning many assures aud openings, and
has alwayt been "a bad place for
snakes"
Mr. Rockwell took occasion to visit
the outbuildings referred to, and, in
opening the door, he noticed a number
Of snakes crawling into the bung holes
OF the whisky borrels. Quick as
thought he got the bungs and drove
them into the barrels and secured the
snakes. He then attempted to roll the
barrels out Of the buildings, bat found
them too heavy TO handln without rs
sistance. lie then called in J. l.. Ma
thoit, Dustin Jones, George Sturdy,
Hugh Smith and Thomas Powell, who
armed themselves with hickory clubs
and proceeded to kill the snakes. The
bung was taken out Of one barrel and
some hot water was poured in, and the
snakes began to come out so rapidly
t,a' IL kept all the above gentlemen
busy with their clubs in dispatching
them.
The next barrel was treated in the
same manner until all the five barrels
were cmptied. and the total number Of
snakes kill,d was 2,l53. To day there
is steady stream Of people visiting the
premises Of Mr.. Rockwell and viewing
the slain snakes. No one pretends tc
account for the snakes getting into the
barrels. All we can say is that they
we're there, and it is the "whole truth
and nothing but the truth The aft
davits of our best and most reliable cit
liens will substanciate it b yond an,
doubt. The snakes were not all large
ones, but there were none less than
foot in length; while many were six o
seven feet long. A trench had to b.
dug this afternoon to bury them, a
