crrcr1L c1prLrLn AND TIE cENSES

GENERAL GARFIELD AND THE CENSUS
The census of 1850 will be much more
thorough in tie lines OF commercial. manuiac-
turing, and social statistics than any hereto
fore made IN this country. The new law under
which it is taken was prepared by General
Garfield in 1869 for the census of 1870, but
failed to pass the senate after 1t had gone
through the House. A special Committee on the
Census was raised in the House on the motion
OF General Garfield. According to parliament
tary custom he should have been its chairman,
bus as he was already chairman of tie important
Committee on Banking and Currency, IL was
arranged by Speaker Blaine that Colonel
Stokes, of Tennessee, should be the ttular
head Of the new committee, and that Ca field
should take charge of it and lay out IFS work.
With Iii, accustomed energy and thOroughness,
General Garfield got his committee together in
the summer recess, and held it down to a month
Of close study and investigation. The result
was bill designed to widen the field OF status
ties covered by previous censuses, and to fur
uish a larger body Of facts for the use Of the
legislator, the historian, and the student of
social science. The bill went through the
House PROMPTLY but was so long delayed in
sion that it did not come up for action in time
for its passage before the adjournment; SO the
census of 1870 was taken under the old law.
When the question of legislation for the
census of 1850 came up, Secretary Schurz by
whose department the work is DONE asked
General Garfield to prepare a bill. General
Garfield consulted with General Francis A.
Walker, the Superintendent of the Census, and
at his suggestion revived the old bill Of 1869,
and made some changes in it which experience
had suggested. Thus amended the bill was
put in the hands of S. s. Cox, chairman of
the new Census Committee and became a
law It's superiority over the old law so far
as the practical workings of the machinery it
provides for gathering statistics are concerned,
has already been demonstrated, and the
value of the results obtained by 1t will
become apparent when the census reports
are published. General Garfields authorship
of the Census law is a single example, among
many which might be referred to- of his prac-
tical labors as a sagaclous legislator outside
the domain of party politics.

side of that line. and no such excuse was even
then set up.

The suggestion of the committee of colored
Republicans from New-Jersey that the Ma
tional Committee should send distinguished
white Republicans from the North to speak Ill
the South, while representative coioreo ne
publicans were invited from the South 10 the
North, is in some respects good one, though
few practical results could be expected from
il in this campaign. If such practice c0uid
be well established, and the Southern people
Tins be brought face to face with the repre-
sent9tiyes of the best Northern intelligence,
something like diffusion OF political IDEAS
might result, and that Southern provlnclaiiSm
and bitter excluSiveness, which so easily oe-
generate into the hatred of which politlcai
prosecutions are born, might in time be anne
iorated. But the immediate results, except
perhaps in one or two close States, would DC

show disposition in some parts of the South
to allow the negroes to hold meetings, and no
doubt they would allow Northern speakers to
influence votes, secure in the knowledge that
they will never be counted.

When the steamboat crews have been drilled,

One of the witnesses in the Seawanhaka in
yestigation Yesterday spoke of the strange
Ignorance OF the passengers as TO the proper
way to put on life-preservers, saying that no
one seemed to know what to do with them,

to be included in every polite education. And

might easily see that an ineligible printed
direction was affixed to each life-preserver.
The Spanish naval officers are trying the
patience of our Government with strange
persistency. Another outrage upon an Ameri-

Cuba. AS to-day's dispatches show, the
schooner George Washing ton. while on its
wav from Baltimore to Jamaica for cargo
of fruit, was stopped about fifteen miles from
the shore of Cuba by Spanish man-of-war,
the papers demanded and the vessel searched,
after which the officers departed without a
word of apology or explanation This search,
at distance equiv alent to probably four
marine leagues from the shore, is an utterly
indefensible outrage upon the flag OF the
United States. IL made within the marine
league, which is by the common consent OF
nations the utmost boundary of territory, it
might have been justified, perhaps, on the
plea that an attempt at fraud upon the reye-
nue. was suspected. but 1t was made fur out

says she is backed by twelve men who paid
her 800 a month to run the mill. No one
doubts that she has hackers, but when she
adds that these hackers are clergymen,
lawyers, and others of high position, no
one takes any stock in her yarn. She also
says, what 10 one believes, that she was
merely dupe. The money received in
deposits each day was, so she says, taken
away at night by one of these eminent cit
liens aforesaid, and in the morning she
was furnished enough to meet the ordina-
ry demand of the day. When pressed 10
give the names of these parties she de-
clined, and when asked why they did not
give bail she replied that they didn't want
TO give themselves away. The fact is,
doubtless, that the twelve men constitute
a gang of thieves. An incredible instance
of credulity was observed yesterday. Just
