WASHINGTON, August 26,-There
are $50 supervisors of census who
we're nominated by Mr.. Hayes and
confirmed by the senate. OF the
original nominees lis we're republi-
ms and 30 were democrats. 1t was
suggested at a meeting of the census
committee, called to consider the list,
that the entire list be sent back to the
executive with a notification that the
senate would prefer a less partisan
list. This suggestion was not adopt
ed. Several improper nominations
were rejected and new names were
sent in by Hayes. The political com
plexion of the supervisors as finally
confirmed is mainly republican. There
are only 80 democrats on the list.
The proportion of republican and dem.
ocratic supervisors in the southern
states is as follows,

ENTHUSIASM (!

The Chicago papers of yesterday, and nota-
bly, the Times, give dispatches from every state
IN the Uulon and from all the prominent cities
IN the states, recounting the spirit in which
the news Of the Cincinnati nomination was re-
ceiyed, and from every quarter there is but one
report-the democrats receive the news with
the widest enthusiasm, and the followers of
Garfield and Arthur with trembling and dis
may. Never, II IS evident, has the democratic
party been better pleased with or more solidly
united in favor of its nominees, and never be.
fore has it gone INTO contest with greater
determination to WIN and greater confidence
that IL will succeed.

"Trumbull," says the Chicago Jourual lis
cold, icy, selfish, and never looked after his
friends to secure them places" And in the
very next column of the same Jouraal is given
story about Lincoln, who is made to com
plain that "he had three troubles-the war in
the south, Horace Greeley, and Lyman Trum-
bull" his trouble on account OF the last named
beng that he was constantly worrying him
about appointments" This seems at least To
contradict the statement that Trumbull never
looked after his friends TO secure them places 4"
The fact, we suspect to be, however, that the
one statement is true, implying that Trumbull
had an instructive aversion to the miserable
business Of begging offices from the president;
while the other, about Lincoln complaining of
Trumbull as an Office beggar is pure fiction,
or the name Of Trumbull has been put in the
place of some other senator. As TO Trum5ull

cry OF disgust is going up from ne ary al
the prominent cities of the country as the cen
sus takers are completing their JOB and begn.l
ming to announce their iootings. st. Louis,
that claimed half million of population. is
raving because the nose counters will have
hard work to bring her out with a population
of even 100000; Chicago that was sure she
had 10000 people, is disguised with a footing
of trife over 100000, but is consoled with
being ahead Of St. Louis. Peoria, that claim.
ed 10000, is IN a ferment over footing of
less than $4,000 and is making a count of
her own; as are also Bloomington, Quincy
and many other cities. Indeed all of them

truth is, that up TO 1873 the tendency of popu.
lation was to concentrate in the cities, but
since then, unit, within a year ago, the rush
has been from the cities to the rurual districts
and most notably towards the great west and
the south. While most cities, east and west,
are therefore almost sure 10 be disappointed
IN the census footings, the country as whole
will doubtless be shown TO have nearly kept

THE COURTY SCRAMBLE.

There has, it is true, been no republican con
vention yet called IN this county to nominate
candidates, but It being a cardinal principleo
that party, as SO happily stated by Mr.. Flana
gan Of Texas IN the Chicago convention tina
what we are after IS to get the Offices" the
general scramble has already opened among
the faithful for the various offices to be filled
in this county next fall. Three candidates art
already formally announced for circuit clerk
four tor sheriff, two or three for county attor
ney, and even the little Office of coroner Is moi
neglected. with thirty towns yet 10 hear from
Among those who want to be circuit clerk
are John Barr of Sheridan, gentleman who
seems to be popular at least with his own pco
Pile; Mr.. W. A. Morey of Marsellles, who has
wanted something of the sort at numerous pre-
vlous elections but has hitherto for some rca
son failed with great regularity to win the IA
vor of the nominating conventions; and Phil
ander Talbot, at present chief clerk in the
County Clerks office, man ofunquestlonabc
capabilty and popular with the "soveregns."
For Sheriff, Mr.. Stevens, the present lncum
bent, who has made avery acceptable and pop.
ular officer during two terms, is willing and
anxious, as Gen. Grant was you knox, TO try
third term; Thomas Clark, his first deputy
if the convention conclude to set the "old man.
aside, Is willing to step INTO his shoes; so is
Alexander Wylie a very respectable farmer OF
the town of Watham; and 50 is Mr. Thomas
B. Stumph another of Mr., S.evenss present
deputies The friends of the last named lay
stress on his having made an exceptionally
good deputy sheriff for three years past; on
his having done good service as a soldier dur
ing the war; on beng capable business man,
pleasant and accommodating, &c, &c
Among the announcements for county az
torney thus far the name of Slas w. Ruger is
most prominent though there are fifteen or
twenty more young lawyers In the Young
Mems Republican Club of Ottawa alone who
are ready to take that Office or any other from
Congressman down.
And lastly Dr. f. w. Wes will be satisfied
with the Office Of coroner. As the Doctor is a
very fair physician and capable man, and asks
so little, he ought by all means to have tive
mean, the nomination, for be it understood
distinctly, now and to the end, that next fall,
with Hancock and English as their standard
bearers, the Democrats expect to sweep La
Sale county and take all the offices themselves.
The decree has gone forth, and like law of
the Medes and Perslans it will stand fast
