The Census TaEer.

President Hayes, yes erday sent to the
United States Senate, the name OF Hon
William q. Whileley, Of this city, az
Supervisor of Census for Delaware
There Is no doubt the nomination will
be promptly confirmed,
Col. Whiteley was not an applicant
for the position, nor is II known that any
other Democrat was. On the Republi-
can side, however, 1t is understood that
Prof. Il. ID. Porter, Of Newark, Samuel
Logan, of this city, and Geo. w. Ingram
OF Middletown, were desirous Of receiv-
ing the appointment. Some Republicans
of this city are almost wild with rage al
the appointment, and denounce the Pres
ident roundly for not having backbone
enough to appoint q stalwart Radical to
the position aud risk his rejection by the
Senate.
Since his appointment became known
yesterday afternoon, Col. Whiteley has
been applied TO by quite number OF
persons for positions as assistant super
yisOrs and enumerators. He gave nc
definite answers, however, and will no
until after his appointment is confirmed.
In relation TO the appointment OF subor-
dinates, the law says they shall not b
confined to one political party, but shall
be general In this respect. IL also rec
ommends assessors, collectors, school
masters and young physicians as suitable
persons TO receive these appointments.
In regard to the nature of the assess
meuts, the law requires all residents u
be enumerated, and classified as 10 age,
sex, color and nativity. IL also requires
note to be taken Of manufactures, busi-
ness establishments and farms, with the
number Of acres of improved and unin-
proved land and timber tracts to be duly
enumerated. Death statistics for the
year Immediately preceding are also to
be enumerated. The work Is to be com
menced ON the first Of June next and
completed within thirty days.
1t Is generally remarked that the Del
aware census has fallen into competent
hands, and will be attended TO in COM
petent and thorough manner.

What Caused o. MissjOt0ry's
Death.
Presbyterian journal.

The Rev. Albert Bushnell, d. D., died
at Sierra Leone on the I'd of Decem ber.
AS most of our readers are aware, he
spent the last year in this country, and
had just returned to his former field Of
labor in Africa. This he did, notwith-
standing the very delicate state of his
health. Thus has fallen a most faithful,
devoted aud beloved servant of the
Lord, whose life was consecrated to the
Cause of missions. The Evangelist well
says; at may well bring blush of
shame to some who are dwelling at ease
at home to remember that oue reason
which urged DIR. Bushnell to return even
when his health was not sufficient for 1t,
was that he could not find lh all our
churches a single man to go and take
his place. Is there not sOme young man
In our seminaries will now step forward
from the ranks and volunteer to take up
the standard which this soldier of the
cross has laid DOWN."

About Prince Lucien Murat, another
relic of the days of Napoleon, but al.
most of another generation from Joseph,
various anecdotes are told. He married
Miss Caroline Georgina Fraser, Of Bord-
entown, and seems to have Inherited the
recklessness, and, perhaps, the roughness
of his father. A groom who was insO-
lent to him was suddenly elected from
his stable by Murat, and brought suit in
consequence. Prince Murat defended
himself in the following speech
"My Lord, de Judge and Gentlemen
of the Jury Dare has been great ef-
forts and much troubles to make every
body believe me very bad man; but
dat is no consequence. De man tells
you kick him six timesl six times SO
low as possible. L very sorry Of the ne
cessity to make him show how low ii
was, but could not avoid it. Now, my
Lord and gentlemen of the jury, you

ing from the enormous pocket of his
hunting-coat o human pelvis with the os
coccggls complete and articulated with
wires.) Here are de bones. Deese leetle
bones vat you see here (shaklnR them to
the jury like the end of rattlesnake's Is

-ah! jack horse, and not only very
much resemble dat animal, Wy you see
desc leetle bones, if dey were long
enough would be his tail r The Court
was convulsed with laughter, and the
Prince, being extremely acute and know
ing he had the best OF it, drew his
speech to an end by stretching out his
enormous leg, armed with his sporting
boot up to his knee, and clapping his
hand on his massive thigh SO that IL re-
sounded through the courtroom, ex-
claimed My Lord and gentlemen, how
absurd to say l could give him even vcH

AN EXCITING CHASE AT CHRISTI ANA
YESTERDAY.

YESTERDAY.
There Is nothing more exciting or OK
hilarating than a fox hunt. The wild
gailop of the horses and their ridersover
fences and bitches, aud the deep baylng
of hundreds of hounds in pursuit of Rby-
nard, who can at times be- dimly seen In
the distance, is sport TO q good rider
who has AN excellent horse bepeath him
but woe unto an amateur rider, one who
has not been used to ridi & at such a
speed, or jumping impediments. A rider
who does not know how to go with q
horse when the animal leaps has no bus-
iness in a fox chase, for should he not
fail, he will feel the next day as though
he had gone through all the torturesever
invented by the Spanish lnquisitlOn.
But one who used to the sport comes out
unscnthed, aud is always ready to join
In the chase.
For some time past 1t has been known
that fox chase was to ta>e place at
Christiana yesterday. Accordingly
about three hundred persons assembled
at that village yesterday, the larger mum
ber for the purpose of joining in the
sport, while the remainder were there
for the purpose of seeing the start and
If possible The finish. The start was made
from the hotel OF William Nickorson
from which point the chase was to com
men 10. At noon Mr.. Nlckerson set out
lunch for those assembled, which was
freely partaken. At l o'clock the fox
was let loose by William III. Lyman, and
after 1t had been given ten minutes start
the hounds were unleashed, and the pur-
suit was started. Reynard with all his
cunning led his pursuers over a long
stretch of country, and after a chase OF
about eight, he quitely shipped into the
hole from " hicL he was captured some
time ago. Being eager for the sport, and
not having had enough, another fox was
let loose, and after a good chase, the
cunning animal Slipped into a hole,
and his pursuers returned to the starting
point, from whence they departed for
their homes we'll satisfied with the days
sport.
About two dozen buggies followed the
horsemen, they keeping the road. Dur
ing the chase, a double team driven by
Enos Walters took fright and run down
Indian Hill, narrowly escaping num-
ber OF collision Fortunately no damage
was done

AN IMAGINARY VACANCY.
The President and Postmaster General
have been much surprised within the past
tweDty.four hours by a number OF
applications for the Postmastersbip at
st. Lo uis, to succeed Mr.. Hays. They
were not aware that Mr.. Hays con-
templated resigning, and the efficient
performance of the duties Of his Office
caused considerable expression of regret
at his leaving the Government service.
When, however, it was ascertained that
Mr.. Hays was to be made Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, greater surprise was
fell, as it was not known to the President,
Secretary Schurz, or to Mr.. Hays that
vacancv existed at the head Of the
Indian Office.
