WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Geueral Francis 4.
Walker superintendent of the Census is vig0Ously
pushing forward the preliminary work Of his office,
and completing as rapidly practicable the classI-
fcatlon Of subjects TO be coufded to the charge Of
specialists. MIR. +. II. Wines, secretary of the
Illinois State Board of Charities has been engaged
10 conduct the inquiries respecting the blind, deaf
and dumb idiots inmates Of prisons and retormato-
Tics. etc. The statistics relating TO these classes
have hitherto been defective that, as General
Walker expresses it, " they were not worth print
ng." Not only is this true but, like all other
worthless statistics, they were worse than useless
because they have been quoted and false couclu-
sions built upon them. An important feature Of the
new census law Is that which requires the Superm-
tendent TO obtain the facts relating TO the condition
OF each railroad corporation. and to the condition,
characteristics and operations OF each railroad. The
schedules Tor these inquiries have already been pre-
pared and are now being sent out. If anything like
full replies are received, the people of the United
States will be placed in possession of a mass
OF the most complete and valuable iufOrma-
Ton respecting railroads 20 be found IN anv
country. General Walker says that he finds the
matter of obtaining statistics Of State, county
and municipal debts the most difficult and i'm
portant of any with which he viii have 10 deal.
No plan for gathering this class OF statistics has yet
been determined upon.

Dyer County.

EDITOR CITIZEN With the sup
position that a few remarks from
the western borders of the State
would not lessen the interest OF
your paper, 1 will endeavor to con
tribute a few.
Considering the financial depres-
sion of the country, Dyer county
offers marked advantages to farm
ers. Being in Its natural presenta-
ton level, fertile and destitute OF
rocks, farmers can use labor saving
machines to great advantage and
thereby cultivate large crops with
little labor and expense. As a gen
eraI thing labor is higher here than
in Giles. A good farm hand is
worth from ten to fifteen dollars
per month.
The greatest disadvantage which
this county presents to farmers is
the want of running water for stock
However, this want is supplied to a
great extent by digging ponds, the
CLAW which underlies the soil being
such as will hold water through the
dryest summer.
Corn and tobacco crops promise
a heavy yield. Cotton is not good
having been infested with insects
until late. Wheat was good. AS
an evidence of this and the produc-
tiyeness of the soil in this county
