An agent of tho census Office has been dis
patched to South Carolina to 80 over some of
the work OIL the spot, and for this purpose he
has been furnished with transcripts of some of
the returns which have the most suspicious
look. The only theory advanced in the cen
sus office to account for the increase now re-
ported is the possibility the census of 1870 was
defective. But thcrc Is littlo disposition to
accept this theory, since this census also was
taken under General Walker Another fact
which bOars strongly against this theory Is
that from 1880 to aud including 1870, tho cen.
sus returns for each decade bore such Il relation
to the one preceding as to excite no suspicion

a Nice Question as to Ownership of a Bond.

Nice Question as to Ownership of a Bond.
Iu October, 1877, the treasury department
received an application from Speyer & Co.,
bankers, of New York city, who, in behalf of
Pierro Francois Salu of Brussels, Belgium,
asked for the issuance of new 81 900 in lieu
OF u mutilatcd coupon bond, No. 1864 which,
IL was alleged, had been found in Belgium by
Sallu in 1874. Accompanying the application
was translation of the laws of Belgium
hearing upon the case, which show that under
the law there the finder of any movable thing
or property can register the same before the
| authorities, and if after tho lapse Of three
years the owner does not appear to claim 1t,
il becomes legally the property of the finder,
In this case all the forms required by the law
| of Belgium had been complied with. The
mutilatcd bond had been picked up on a pub
| lie road, the finder had registered it, with n
statement of all the particulars, tho owner had
not appeared TO claim il within the time pre-
scribed by law aud it had, therefore, been ad.
judged the property of the finder. He, there.
fore, sent 1t here and asked that q now bond
be issued In place of it,. The case has been
under consideration in the office of the first
comptroller for some time, and Judge Law
renee rendered decision in which he holds
that the evidence presented by Salu is wholly
insufficient TO justify the issuing ofa new bond
TO him, and recommends that the fragments
Of the bond accompanying the application be
held by the department TO remain suspended
until sufficient evidence shall bo presented by
some rightful claimant
