An act of orr Legislature has been
promulgated as law witch allows a
majority Of the voters Of parish to
change its lines and remove the loca-
ton Of its court house. Now the
question arises in our mind: Can
this be done where the lines have
been fixed and the court house located
BY oct Of the Legislature until that
act has been repealed by the same
authority? Or will this act be con.
sidered as repeating all such acts?

South Carolina Census Returns.

In the last week or two any number OF falso
and erroncouSs% statements have been made as
to the Sonth Carolina census, One Is that an
enumerator in that State has requested the
return Of his list for correction, as two hun
dreu names had been put on In error NO
such request has been received. Another
statement IS that the force of the census bu-
reau Is worked at night TO expedite the COPY
ing of the South Carolina cnurnerators' lists.
A portion Of. the force has been working at
night over the pay accounts of the ume
tors, as they have been pressing for their mo-
ney. 4 great deal Of balderdash; has been
written about the ccnsusin South Carolina,
for no otner purpose han for political effect,
and prominent Republican politicians here
Openly AVER that they do notintcnd to rest UNI
til a new census Is ordered. Before the Presi'
! dent left Washington Gen. Walker had sever
oil interviews with him In regard to the .aileg-
ations Of fraudulent enumeration In south
Carolina. The President saw no reason why o
new enumeration should be ordered, nor did
Gen. Walker although 1t was left discretion
airy with Gen. Walker to order a new enuin.
Grafton II any more facts should be brought
to his attention which would seem toJnsti'
fy II. Up to this date no such facts have ap-
| reared, notwithstanding this, It'll freely as
Sc rtcd, as stated, that. a new enumeration
will be ordered, and thatifthe superintendent
ofthe Census will not DO Il Of his own accord
he will be instructed to that effect by the
Secretary ofth interior. who by law has sup
ervisory power in the matter. Whether MIR
SchurZ would lend himself to such O scheme
may be doubted.
