The Censns Nnmlnntinns.

The Senate Committee on the Census yes
terdny received reports from several snbcom-
mittees on the nominations OF census super
visors. The appointments from Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, aud Rhode
Island were reported back tavorably from tho
committee, and so were all those for the West
ern States, except three from Illinois, one
from Iowa and ono from Tennessee, which arc
held by toe subcommittee for further Inquiry.
Senator Herman, who has charge OF the notni-
nations for New York, New Jersey, Peunsyl-
vauia Delaware aud Maryland, did not report
on thom, nor were auy Of the Southern up
pointmenls reported on. IL was agreed by
common consent that all the nominations ro-
ported from subcommittee yesterday lin ro.
gard to none OF which there is any question OF
the personal fitness of the nomiueo) SHALL be iIu-
medately reported back to the Senate with
recommendation for confirmation, but, at the
slmo time several OF the Democratic mombos
of the committee took the ground that ono
halt of the census supervisors throughout the
whole country ought TO be sclt cted fr,m the
Democratic party, aud thoy therefore reserved
the right to disregard yesterdays action of tbs
committee when tho nominations CAME up for
consideration In the Senate. The indications
are that u strong movement will be made Ia
the Senate to hold up all the census nomina'
lions for the present with view TO forcing ah
equal division Of these appointments betweeT
the two great political parties.
