The South Carolina Census.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Secretary SchurZ
this afternoon made public the report of |
superintendent Walker of the census bu-
reau on alleged census frauds in South
Carolina. The general gives his reasons
for believing the census of 1870 lncor-
rect, attributing it mainly to the defects
of the law under which it was taken
that of 1S50-aRd adds that the investi-
cation instituted places it beyond doubt
that the fault of the impossible gains re-
ported over the census of 1870 lay with
the preceding one. 1t appears to me
that the report of special agent Garret
settles the question as to the fairness of
the 10th census in South Carolina.
Gen. Walker, in concluding, says of
the investigation: 81 know of no reason
why any further charge should be made
against the enumeratIons recently
brought to a conclusion by the commits
sioners and sworn officers of the govern
ment of South Carolina that presump-
ton which existed against their work
has been completed beyond doubt;
first, that the census of 1870 was grossly
defective, and second, that the census of
1880 was substantially we'll taken, and
in no instance did anything appear
which bore semblance of fraud in the
returns made to this Office by the emu
| merators of 1880. In some districts
nearly every family was identified as
resident in the township, notwithstand-
| ing the great extent of South Carolina
| townships, some of which embrace one
hundred and even two hundred square
miles. In all cases Identification was
carried far enough to overthrow, and a
| strong counter presumption has been
created by the verification upon the
| ground of schedule.
More Superb Statesmanship.
| NEW YORK, Oct. "a representative
of the Paterson, N. j., Guardian yester-
day interviewed Gen. Hancock. After
some general conversation, the repre-
sentative said:
There is one thing, general, 1 desire
i to speak about. The tariff question is
creating a good deal of talk in Paterson,
particularly among the manufacturers
and the working classes. Now, how is
| that going to work ?"
THAT question" said the general,
"cannot affect the manufacturing inter.
ests of the country in the least. My
ence one way or the other.
There has to be a certain amount
of millions of dollars raised by
tariff that can be got in no other way
and that must necessarily give protec-
ton to the manufacturing interests OF
the country. The election of a Demo
cratic president, or the election of Re
publican president, cannot interfere with
or influence that in the least. The Pat
terson people need have no anxiety what
ever that will ever favor anything thai
will interfere with the manufacturing Oh
industrial interests of the country. They
will have just as much protection under
Democratic administration as under 8
Republican administration. The tariff
question is local question. The same
question was brought up once in my ma
tive place IN Pennsylvania. 1t is a mat
ter that the general government seldom
cares to interfere with, and nothing il
likely ever to be done that will interiors
with the industries OF the country.
Baltimore Celebration.
| BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 11.-Baltimort
commenced to-day the celebration of the
settlement and founding of the city one
hundred and fifty years ago. The sur

in holiday attire, and the streets embrac
ing the line of march, brilliant with
flags, streamers and beautiful banners
Before 8 O'Clock the streets were filled
with people, and by O'Clock every
space on Baltimore street and the routG
of procession was occupied Hundreds
of platforms, many of them seating sew
eral thousand people. had been erected
and all were crowded.
1t is impossible to estimate the vas
number of people, of every condition
. old and young, men, women and child
rem, who thronged streets, balconies
windows and housetops, for miles, al
! aglow with excitement, enthusiasm anS
patriotism. The program for the open
ing day of the jubilee was grand process
,, sion, to illustrate the history and pro
, gress of Baltimore in her life of on
hundred and fifty years. in all branche
