The Census EnumeTators of this year were led to
believe when they began their work. that they
were receive cents for each bona de registry OF
a name made by them. Their claims were made out
upon this basis and were sent to Washington.
Francis A. Walker. SUPERINTENDENT of the Census,
has concluded, however that III every case where
the claims of an enumerator amount to more than
4 Tor a single day his claim for that day can be
duced to that amount. The enumerators were
served during the past week with notice that as
soon as they had signed and returned their claims
as audited by him upon tins basis. checks for the
required amounts would be forwarded TO the Sub
Treasury for their acceptance. The result Of this
method of estimating the amount to be paid the
enuineratOrs has been to reduce tho claims Of nearly
all and many OF them have refused to accept the
smaller sums. A meeting of these enumerators to
protest against the action of Superintendent Wal
ker and 10 decide upon some proper STEPS TO be
taken to protect their nights called for yester-
day morning IN the Supreme Court, Genera Term,
noon. After organizing the meeting an adjourn
mept was taken until tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. Several of those present were very ami
mated in their denunciatiOn Of the Superintendent
and told long of the hardships TO which they
were put by his action.
