Chicago, having Svotes, St. Louis 4, Wash
ington l and blank /. The Republican Con.
vention will meet in Chicago on the 2ud Of
June.
1t is stated on reliable authority, says the
Charlotte Observer, that for some time past
there has been negro going the rounds of
the cabins in Richmond county, and repre-
senting that he is Grants imperial agent. He
goes to an isolated house in the country aid
tells the inmates that the election of Grant is
certain, and that as soon as be is elected he
will be made emperor, and then there will be
a glorious division of the lands, goods and
chattels, and that sum, anywhere between
ten cents and quarter of dollar, entrusted
to him, will secure the contributor hand
some share of the spoils when the good time
comes. Those who do not contribute, he is
instructed to say, will be cast into outer
darkness. He has succeeded in raising a
considerable sum out of the deluded negroes
in this manner.
Col. w. G. Wooley, who interested him
self in behalf of Tildcn in Florida, in 1875,
is authority for the statement that Iilden 8
friends are endeavoring to buy all the best
rooms at the leading hotels in Cincinnati,
with the purpose Of placing other candidates
at disadvantage. He says that one of the
principal hotels is negotiating now with Til.
den for two hundred rooms. Inquiry at diff:
ferent hotels regarding these statements elicit.
ed the fact that the Gibson House has received
a telegram from Albany asking that two
hundred rooms and sixty parIors be secured,
presumably in the interest Of Tilden. The
hotel has not accepted the request. The in:
formation in Democratic circles in Cincinnati
is that Til,len will make every possible effort
to secure the nomination for himself

of letters asking about the census arrange
ments, and although / have not read the law
since last spring, know the following ideas
are therein contained, and if you will publish
them, and other papers throughout the State
will "follow suit you will deserve the thanks
of the IN. C.'s," and confer favor upon the
public:
The State of South Carolina is divided into
three census districts. In the first are the
counties of Abbeville, Anderson, Chester,
Edge6eld, Greenville, Fairfield, Laurens,.
Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg,
Union and York. 5ssfEi
In the second are Aiken, Barnwell, Beau.
fort, Charleston, Colleton, Hampton, Lexing-
ton, Orangehurg and Richland.
In the third are Chesterfield, Clarendon,
Darlington, Georgetown, Horny, Kershaw,
Lancaster, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter and
Williamsburg.
For each of these districts the President ap.
points a supervisor. The Congressional dele
CATION selected Mr.. j. K. Vance, of Green
Vile, Mr. Harry Hammond, of Barnwell, and
Judge Townsend, of Marlboro, and submitted
their names to the President as suitable per.
sons for supervisors He returned the names
of Mr.. G. j. Pride, of York, a Mr. Breeden,
of Darlington, and Mr.. Hammond, to the
Senate, and subsequently withdrew the name
of Mr.. Hammond, and to this writing has not,
that I am aware, sent in substitute. The
result is, that up to date, the Senate has con-
irmed no supervisors for South Carolina.
When once confirmed (and their confirmation
will be known in Charleston as soon as it is
here) each will be Immediately put to work
upon stated salary of five hundred dollars,
$500.
One of their first duties will be to divide up
their respective districts into areas containing
not more than 4, 600 inhabitants each. Each
supervisor will then select an enumerator for
each subdivision of his district, and submit
the names of the appointees for the approval
of the general superintendent of census at
Washington. As soon as approved, each emu
merator will be advised and supplied with
suitable blanks and instructions as to his du.
ties. On the 1st day of June next, he is to
begin work, and will be required to wind up
the job by the 30th Of the same month.
The pay Of each enumerator is two cents
for each inhabitant and something for each
farm, but his salary cannot exceed one hun.
dred and twenty-five dollars (Sl25) for the
months work.
So far as taking the census" concerns any
of the thousand and one letter writer's, who
are inquiring about the duties, &C., with
view to secure an appointment. the above are
all the points that are necessary for the infor-
nation Of the public.

THE PRICE OF PRINTING PAPER.

The advance in the price Of printing paper,
with the prospect of further appreciation in
prices, is cause for serious alarm with publish
ers. Steps are being taken to bring the sub
iect before Congress, the petitioners praying
the removal of duties from imported materials
used in the manufacture of paper; but it
seems to US this does not 60 far enough. So
long as the manufacture of paper is limited
to few establishments who, by combination,
can control the price, just so long may the
people expect to suffer by their imposition
No matter how cheaply materials may be
supplied, the imposition can be maintained
Nothing short of admitting white paper duty
free will meet the exigency, and we hope this
fact will be impressed upon Congressman in
their revision of the tariff. 1t has been apt
ly remarked that the tax on printing paper is
tax on knowledge. We 60 further and say
the tax on printing materials of every des'
cription is tax on knowledge, and him
drance to the dissemination of information.
The manufacture of type and paper is confined
to but few persons in this country, and the
tariff enables them to control prices as they
please.
We clip the following on this subject from
the Augusta Chronicle:
In ninety days. paper has has advanced
from 40 to 80 per cent. The mills have
formed a combination and advanced the
price until it has become hardship upon
publishers. There appears be no remedy for
consumers. We see it stated that the cause
of the advance is attributed to an increase in
the price of material used in its manufacture.
But there has been no such advance in the
price of paper stock. There is no justi6ca-
tion for the advance, and we consider it
species of extortion on the part of paper man.
ufacturers The rise has been so rapid as to
cause newspapersin some portions of the coun-
try to increase their rates of advertising and
subscription. The Chicago Times has in
creased its subscription to SIG, and other
leading journals in the West have advanced
their rates. Publishers must do something
to protect themselves against the rapacity
which threatens to devour them. This ad-
vance is particularly severe upon Southern
newspapers, where the expenses Of publishing
a 6rst-class paper are out of proportion to
the receipts
