SUPERVISORS OF CENSUs-vIRGINIA AND WEST
VIRGINIA.
Nominations for supervisors Of census,
however, were sent in in due time. The
list for Virginia had been anticipated in
these dispatches. The question immeGi-
atcly arose, Can Mr.. Bristow be supervisor
Of census and county judge also? Then
there were inquiries az to Mr.. Boiling. Ii
was agreed generally that MessrS. Cabell,
AyreS, and Lindsey would be confirmed
without any difficulty. For West Virginia
The nominations were John B. Laidley, OF
Cabell Courthouse (Democrat), and General
Latham, Of Upshur county (Republican),
ex-member OF Congress. 1t seems that
General Walker informed the West Nir-
gnia delegation that they could send in the
names Of two Democrats and two Republi-
ans, and from these the two supervisors
would be selected. They did 80, and while
Ladley's name was Oh their list that Of
General Latham was not. The Senate in
executive session this evening referred all
u the census nominations TO committees.

INCREASE IN POSTAL RECEIPTS.
Under existing orders all the post-Oflices
u The country are more exact than hereto
ore III weighing letters, and the result is
nat more letters than ever before require |
N additional stamp. In consequence of
his, IN the House post-oflice alone the in
rease from this source amounted to nearly |
nree dollars in single day and one Of the
most Intelligent and sagacious men know,
