THE NAVAL REVIEW.
Disappointment of 0nicers and others
over the Postp0nement.

over the Postponement.
FORTRESS MONROE, October 27.-The an
that the naval review had
been postponed by the Secretary until
some time in November after the election
has caused disappointment to many Off
cors OF the fleet and also to large party OF
visitors who had arrived here to witness
the exercises. Some Of the visitors will
no doubt return home in order to vote,
while others will remain until it finally
takes place. 1t is understood that the
President and several members Of the
Cabinet will join the Secretary when he
decides 10 come; so that the occasion may
be much more interesting than II 1t had
taken place on the date first fixed. Many
OF the officers oitbe fleet do not like to lie 10
the Roads for any extended period. Itis all
very well for week or ten days, but alter
that life becomes monotopons, as they are
neither at sea nor in port where amuse.
ments may be enjoyed. Others, however,
having their families here, as many have,
seem quite contsnted and would not OBJ.
ject to having the review postponed until
after the Inauguration.
While awaiting the pleasure OF the au-
thorities the crews Of the different vessels
are not allowed to pass their time In idle
ness. A signal will be displayed from the
flagship and in an incredibly short time
the yards OF the ships will be literally
alive with sailors making sail. This oper-
alton Is carefully watched and each yes.
sells time noted in performing given or
der. The crews are all aware OF this fact,
and the most intense rivalry exists be-
tween them as TO their respective prof.
cheney in the art OF seamanship.
A floating target has been placed on the
south side OF the channel near the Rip
Raps, and fire is.opened upon II with such
vigor that the fact is enveloped in smoke;
At another time the boats are lowered
away and the boat drill instituted, and In
a few moments the water Is alive with row,
boats Of all sizes. This is the most ex-
citing portion OF their exercises.

TnG CENSUS REPORT.
An Effort TO be Made 10 Have II Pre-

sented 10 the Nextsession OF Congrehs.
WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Superin.
tendent OF the Census is said to have de-
termined to have the census returns ready
to be submitted at this session Of Con-
gress, 80 that an apportionment can now be
made II 1t is desired. A census has never
been reported to Congress at 70 early 0
date.
There seems TO be disposition on the
part OF the Democrats to act upon the
census this winter, and the following argu.
ment 10 urged by them: One great ad.
vantage OF this will be the opportunity
for the new apportionment oil members OF
the House Of Representatives 70 be made
this winter, and In that event the election
OF members by districts under the new ap.
portionment can take place in oil the
States in November, 1882. 1.-THE statistics
Of population are not completed in time
for the present Congress TO prescribe the
ratio OF representation, unny OF the
States would have to elect Of large
for the whole State any additional
Representatives to which they may be
entitled. II any OF the States, as is, OF
course, to be expected, should suffer Q
diminution in the number OF their Repre-.
sentatives, It would he awkward to regu.
late the election OF 1882 in the absence OF
a meeting OF the Legislature, unless Con.
gress should authorize them to hold on
to their present number Of members.
Alter Congress fixes the ratio Of repre-
sentation, the State Legislatures have to
make the apportionment OF districts for
their respective States. As the next Con-
gress will not, under ordinary circum.
stances, meet until December, 1881, II the
ratio OF representation Is left to them TO
FIX, 1t would necessarily postpone the
election by districts Of many OF the addi-
tional Representatives until 1881, as vari.
Gus State Legislatures would not be IN ses-
sion during tie period elapsing between
the action OF Congress and the November
election Of 1882.
While, as stated, the bureau will make
every effort to have the returns complete
for the action OF this Congress, 1t Is not
certain that 1t can be accomplished. There
Is great deal Of delay in receiving the
perfected reports OF the enumerators and
in receiving various items OF information
necessary to secure, as far as may be,
correct enumeration.

DErRolr, October 26-one Of the most
shameful outrsges known in the political
history Of this city, was perpetrated to-
night, when Republican meeting at Ho.
gan's Hall, in the Eighth ward, was
broken up by gang OF Democratic
roushs. 1t was understood that Captain
Edward O'Meagher Condon would be
nresent 10 say few words In behalf Of
Mr. Lord, Republican candidate for Con-
vress. who saved him from execution for
alleged completely In Fenian outbreaks In
Manchester, England. The opposition
feared the effect the eloquent lrishman
might have upon his countrymen,
and made deliberate preparations for
an outbreak. Captain Condor was
not present, but when other speakers at
tempted to address the meeting, q large
gang Of Democratic strikers marched in,
and by cheers for Hancock and other
noisy Interruptions, completely drowned
the speakers voices. Appeals for the ex-
ercise OF the right Of free speech proving
iruitleRs, and not desiring personal con.
6ict, the Republicans quietly withdraw.
One Of the leaders ofths gang jumped
upon the table and commenced a violent
hsrangue, in the midst OF which Captain
Condor, who knew nothing Of the pre-.
yIous trouble, arrived. His appeal for a
hearing was finally granted, but realizing
the spirit OF the crowd, he merely ex.
pressed his personal gratitude TO Mr.. Lord,
By reason oi the riotous demonstration, he
was prevented from making any political
illusions. He will speak, however, at
mass meeting on Friday night.

The Registers Champion Faisehood.
The Regi.ter outdid It's well established
,sDntA,ion for brazen falsehood in its issue
Of Yesterday. We refer to the long double
loaded editorial warning to the Democracy
10 beware Of the Republican campaign
eruption fund. It seems, according to
this notoriously truthful and virtuous
sheet, that the Republicans have received
$4,000, and that 1t is to be used ia order
10 carry the State OF West Virginia for
Garfield by "the came fraudulent and cor
MT methods" by which the State OF In
diana was carried for the Republican
ticket.
This article was gotten up by the Register
70, its weekly edition, and was intended
TO g, out among the voters ofthe State be-
yond recall or contradiction between this
and election day.
West Virginia has been q State In the
Union for over seventeen years, and
during that time the Republicans bave
passed through several animated and
important campaigns, and in each
aud all of them they have had TO
depend almost wholly on their own
resources. So far from having re-
ceiyed $4,000 in this canvass, We doubt
ifia the whole history OF the State, run
ming throughout all the years we have
mentioned, they have received one-third
Of that amount, all told, from all sources
whatever outside OF the State. On the
contrary, they have had to be content
with doing their own work mainly with
the mesgre assistance they could COM
mand among themselves.
The proprietor Of the Register is a nice
individual to come out and talk about Re.
pubcans having received $4,000 to carry
the State bv fraud. II We remember cor.
lecty he is the person who, in order to
square his accounts with the Democratic

TEMPERANCE IN THE CABINET.
Postmaster General Maynard Against
Granting Liquor Licenses.

Granting Liquor Licenses.
WASHINGTON, October 27.-Postmaster
General Maynard shows his temperance
notions by writing letter to the District
Commissioners protesting against the
granting Of any more licenses to liquor
dealers on the street adjacent to the Post
Office. He says that the saloons now
there are immoral and place unnecessary
temptation in the way Of the clerks,
Some OF the largest establishments Of the
city have recently built fne buildings on
this square, and the objections oil Post
master General Maynard will, perhaps, oc-
casion great loss to them, as the law re.
quires that a majority Of the residents or
occupants OF the buildings on both sides
OF the street in the same square, shall ap.
prove the application for license, and in
case OF a government building that the
head Of the department shall approve 1t.
In this particular instance the Postofice
Department occupies all Of one side OF the
street, aud the saloons all the other, 30
