The Census Frauds in south Carolina.
New York, August ,27th.--Speaking of the
census frauds in South Carolina, the Tribune S
Washington correspondent says: Some Curl
out proofs of manifest fraud have recently
been discovered. The census returns are
made upon sheets of uniform size, each sheet
being designed to hold certain number of
Names These returns, in all the places where
the eensns had been honestly taken, of course
are somewhat soiled, and the entries in them
have been made as the Enunerators have
gone from house TO house, and the writing is
irregular. A great many OF the sheets re-
turned by the South Carolina Euumerators,
however, proved that the entries in great
many instances have been written at q
single sitting They are uniform, as
the writing is at the same angle, and
there are other signs by which experts can
readily tell that tie document was prepared
at one time. In one OF these lists there are
something over 700 names, and Of these all
except four are returned as natives of South
Carolina. This OF itself is preposterous, as
the experience of census officials shows that
the names of zoo persons taken together
in State would show a very greater
percentage of nativity outside the State.
1t happens that one of the South Carolina
Enurnerators failed to fill two of his sheets
except the columns containing the names of
persons and their nativity. a circumstance of
itself, taken with the other indications of the
paper, fairly Indicating fraud. This is
specimen of some of the discoveries That are
being made.
