One week from to-day the work
of the census enumerators begins.
In order that this count should be
fair and correct one, it is necessary
that the people give them all the
assistance they can, for the enumer>
ators can not possibly know or find
out the information desired, if left
wholly to themselves. In this con-
nection we may state that failure to
answer the questions, or answering
falsely, subjects the offender to a
Gne Of $500 for each ofense.
A brief review of the subjects
upon which questions will be asked
will be of use to citizens in prepar,
ing to give their answers. The
census is divided into four regular
schedules, embracing statistics upon
the population, agriculture, manu-
factories and mortality. The first
embraces questions upon names,
color, sex, occupation, &c. The
second, Of agriculture, contains one
hundred questions. The farmer
must state if he owns or rents his
farm the number of acres of inns
proved and unimproyed land the
value, including lands, fences,
houses, implements, machinery and
live stock the cost Of repairing
buildings and fences; the cost of
fertilizers the amount paid for
labor, &c.
The third schedule embraces all
productive industries, includs
ing blacksmith, carpenter and
cooper shops, &c. Every shop
which turns out $500 worth
Of products, annually,'is included.
A few Of the greater industries,
among them being boot and shoe
factories, cheese and butter factories,
Touring and grist mills, saw mills,
brick yards, paper mills, coal mines,
agricultural implement makers, salt
works, &C., are excluded from this
schedule, but provision is made for
hem in a special manufacturing
chedule. These three schedules
AXE as their startinsspoint tho Is.
lay Of June 1880.
The fourth schedule, mortality,
axes as its starting point June LIST,
.S7s, and questions are asked in
egard to events happening up to
md including May 31st, 1880. In
'ddition there are schedules of in.
ane persons, idiots, deaf imutea, the ,
lind, homeless children, conyicts,
nd paupers.

ponents here, or what are called the
Observation-Disclosures young men, per-
fectly sincere think, or most of them
but with visions of government based
on little that 10 real or possible; and l
have no doubt that some Of them are
principally concerned in getting their
names into the newspapers Then
there are some OF the old boilers OF
1872, who think the step of acting
against Grant requires the IN to he con-
sistent now. Yet i. think they will
| hesitate, as men of conviction, between
| voting for Grant or democrat, or
not voting at all. On the other
hand, General Grant, by. kind-
nees, strength of character and other
attractive qualities, will make o far
greater impression on tho democratic
party, and even on the. south, than
any other person the republicans are
likely to take up. / was at dinner at
the Union League some little while
ago, and about thirty persons were
present, moro than half of whom were
democrats. II was almost the uuani-
nous expression of these that they
would vote fora democrat unless Grant
should be nominated. | think that
view extends beyond that circle, and
that as good and reliable citizen, with
an upright heart and the Ian virtues.
Grant will get tens of thousands OF
democratic votes. and extend the area
of states possible for US to carry"
Referring to his own candidacy,
he expresses his delight at the talk
concerning it, but, like Seymour,
wants none of it. His language is:
@"Does your heart respond to the
numerous calls of late that you should
be candidate for president ?'

children's families"
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Fish is
correct in his opinion that Grant
can carry New York, for recent
events have made his nomination
exceedingly probable. 1t is true
contest will occur in the national
convention over the Illinois troubles,
but if the Cameron Conkling-Log
combination are as successful in the
deliberations of that body as they
have been in their own states, the
matter will not be very serious. As
it now stands, unless the revolution
to the unit rule assumes proportions
more formidable than it now APP
pears, Gen. Grant will be nominated
ON the first ballot. That "nothing
is so certain as uncertainty" in pol
itics, is SO often true, may ruin these
well laid plans, remains to be seen.
The opponents of Grant have no
cause for rejoicing, yet their defeat
is not "dead sure" thing.

Hancock and the Republicans.

The following letter was handed TO the
New York. World by MFR. Leonard w.
Jerome, of New. York City, with request
for its publication -
.Myor- General Hancock-MY DEAR
GENERAL: ] take the earliest opportuni-
- g congratulate, you upon your nomi-
and Rephr rGcan that I am, Of nv most
hearty support. I belong 70 0 -ery nI,-
.tneFous and tsry stauDch old snyer.crav
Republican family. With one solitary
exception, there never was one Of them
known to vote the Democratic ticket, but
] venture 10 say they will to man vote
Ior ycu. They cannot consistently do
otherwise. 81 5. .l.i ~.
You, sir, embody the views and aen-
tinients in regard to the great auestionsI
of the day that we have entertained since
tho war closed. Theyf o the same that
actueted General Grant when he laid
down those liberal terms Of surrender TO-
General Lee. They are the same that;
actuated my poor. friend Raymond when
he battled so nnanfully in the committee
of Congress against the savage policy of
Ihad Stevens. believe General Grant
would support you to-day, did not The ex-
igencfes OF his. situation forbid it. And
Henry ). Raymond, were lie alive, would
support you 700; unless the exigencies of
the New York 2galEs restrained him. He
WAS compelled at an early day 10 smother
the sentiments ne hsd expressed In the
address Of the Fhiladelphfa Convention.
to abandon his career in legislative halls
and to change the tone of the Times or.
as Mr.. Jones, our business manager and
partner, insisted, the paper would DC
ruined. Il believe offered to psy the
damages at the time, but that was con-
sidefed impractioable.) It w&s d bitter
pill, but5it had to be swallowed. Thad
Stevens had succeeded through Congress-
which mieranreAanfed the countfv in on,
grating his policy upon the Republican
party. And though disguised it was
fastened upon them and there was 40
way of getting rid Of II. Thus for years
a vast number of us, good Republicans
have been compelled TO BE heipless ss..:;;,,, 3: :,
porterS of policy we believe TO be the
very worst that conl6 De devired. An on
portunity is presented MS now for the frat
timo with any show of sEcceas 10 vote II,
accordance with our CO... sictions, and
] nm rurs We shall do it most ioyfnlly.
With great respect aud ,gteem, believe
me yours faithfully,
