Partisansh1p in the Census.

NY Sun.
the census ought to be free from par
tisan faint and from political bias of any
kind. The law intended the whole oper
alton to be impartial, and to be governed
with exclusive regard to fairness and full
ness in all the branches of inquiry. From
the first to last the strictest and most of.
fensive rule of party has been applied in
the selection Of supervisors of the census,
aud, necessarily through them, in choosing
the whole body of enumerators, SO far as
the Executive power could reach thems
Gen. Walker, the Superintendent, sought
to obtain the best men he could find, max
ing competency the first test. and then he
tried TO distribute them politically so as to
avoid scramble for the spoils He was
thwarted in this endeavor by the Fraudu-
lent President, who cast aside his recon-
mendations and nominated working poll
ticians in their stead, some of them notori
ously unfit for the duty, and OF bad repute
personally.
These officers are converted into eloc
pioneering agents, and their thousands of
subordinates will perform the sort Of ser
vice that partisan deputy marshals have
rendered in the past. In most of the
great States Democrats are excluded as
supervisors, and 10 all of them the very
large preponderance Of stawart Republi
cans attests the extreme partially exer
clsed IN these appointments. The practical
effect of this course is to discredit ia ad
vance the fairness of the census reports,
and to inspire the belief that they will be
made with partisan bias whenever oppor-
tunity is afforded. So the census is to be
at least partially sacrificed merely to satis-
fy the demands of the party machine.
General Walker has, no doubt tried
hardito have the supervisors chosen for
their fitness, as the San says, but he he's
failed. Illinois affords an exampie-in
the entire state, there is but one Demo
Graf, while only such as i:were stalwart to
the core were the ones selected. The
blame Is as much due to the Democrats in
the senate, who, if they would but exer~
else their prerogstive would refuse to con-
firm Objectionable men.and demand an i'm
partial distribution. There are so many
half starved yultures. however, in the Re-
publican camp that the fraud Hayes has
to keep them at the crib to avoid dis
turbance. Instead of designating it the
census, it should be called-"A plan to
develop the strength and improve the
prospects of the Republican party"
