The REPUBLICAN papers are doing
great deal of grumbling about
the census returns from the south,
and like all partisan complaints, the
most of the grumbling is very foolish.
So far the returns from the south only
give Approximate estimates OF the
population. The public does not
know get what the population Of a
single stats is. The assumption that
the southern states have increased too
rapidly in population is simply a
guess. The organs want to make it
appear that the schedules chow too
many names, when they will con-
tinue the cry OF fraud. In order to
nave made the apparent increase
general, as the editors claim that it
is, all OF the enumerators must have
been let into the secret, and thor
oughly drilled in falsifying the
returns, for it would require
not little skill to aid
any number of names to
list. preserving proper regu-
larity ss to ages, occupations,
relationship, etc. No one is simple
enough 10 believe that any such
gigantic fraud was undertaken, or
could have been carried through
without exposure. Some OF the
enumerators would have given the
scheme away before anything had
been done. But even if fictitious
names have been added to the lists,
it will be very easy matter to dis
cover the fact, and If fraud of the
magnitude that is charged shall
appear, Congress, democrats and
republicans will alike go in for
rectifcation, no matter what the
cost may be. Commissioner
Walker is too sharp a man, and
understands too well the American
population, to be very badly fooled as
to numbers. II he has suspicion |
about any return he can, within a
week, have his suspicion confirmed or
his doubts dispelled. 1t is q good deal
more likely that the enumerstors
have failed to list all of the names,
than that they have added to the
genuine returns. The fuss that the
editors are kicking up
over the southern census only shows
how desperate is the cause OF the
party when il has to resort to such
tricks in order to make capital.

ADOPTING THE same general form
of expression employed by General
Conner at the Liberal mass meeting
on Wednesday night. Ne assert that
"nine-tenths" Of the men who speak
on such occasions are utterly reckless
in their statement of facts. They aye
not skilled in mathematics. While
General Common said he knew what
he was talking about, we question if
he believed what be said when be as
serted that "nine tentbs of the GEN
tiles of Tooele County bad been dis
franchised by a Mormon assessor"
If General Connor knows of a single
Acknowledgement OF Ge1tile or Mer-
mon, through the neglect, intentional
or Otherwise, of the assessor, the
general has been derelict in his duty,
and as a citizen is blamsble if he
has failed to report the case and put
the officer in the line of being prose-
cnted. General Connor's past record
in this territory also lesds to the con-
olusion that il be knew of one such
instance he would not have waited
until he could get up in a public
meeting to make the charge, &c long
as the courts were open for the prose-
cution of the assessor. It may
be set down as a fact that
even more than nine tenths
of the talk that We hear
about registers or assessors failing to
register people is sosh-that is, pure
fabrication. The trouble has been,
people have not wanted to be
registered. In some instances We
know that "hberals" have told the
registers they did not care to have
their names on the list. II Genera
ConnoI's party has suddenly dis
covered that it wants to vote, it should
not now get mad and charge that the
assessor failed in his duty, when the
officer, through the negligence il no
the preference of the individual, hal
been unable to get the name on the
voting list.

More Mining Decisions.

Washington, 19.-In the case OF the
Big Flat Gold and Big Flat Gravel Min
ing Companies, in California, involving
conflicting locations upon the same
surface ground, the secretary Of the
interior has decided that the recent
rule laid. down in the Shaughuessy
case, that the proceedings before the
surveyor general for the procurement
of approved plats exhibiting the To-
cation in each case, is entirely
erparte, and no question can be
raised upon the priority Of the appii-
cation for such survey, unless by i'm
properly departing from the due
order of business. The surveyor gen.
eral advances or delays work upon
one application by reason OF the
tendency OF the other in his office.
This due order OF business requires
that applications for survey shall be
acted upon in the order in which they
are filed; that when the work is thus
placed 10 the hands OF the various
deputies selected for its execution,
the returns of each deputy
shall also receive attention in the
order OF its receipt, and if
ready for approval shall be sp-
proved accordingly; that if then de-
manded, it shall be delivered without
reference to any other pending eur
vey of different location with which
it may be alleged to conflict; that the
proper place to assert opposing
claims is before the register or the
courts, after filing the application for
patent and within the time pre-
scribed by law, the surveying depart
ment having no jurisdiction for die
puted questions affecting the title,
being only responsible for the accu-
rscy OF its surveys for purposes OF
evidence.
