NEw York, November l4.-A dispatch
from Salt Lake City to the Times brings
the news that ut II recent meeting OF the
higher priesthood Taylor warned tho pre-.
la,cs that they were not eligible to service
in the Church unless duly qualified by II
plumlityof wives. Some OF tho priests
have resigned and some have taken more
wives. This looks very much like bravado,
a sp,ciul daring Of the Government to do
It's worst. The Times, commenting on i,s
Dispatch, says: In ordinary communities
there ARE names and penalties for the afro.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE Su.
perintendent Of the Census Is attempting to
doasinsular thing in the wayof publication.
lie is about to publish compendium of
the census of 1850 to present 10 Congress
during the coming session. 1t seems that
the plan was Of rather sudden conception
because the special agents were only
notified month or six weeks ago that they
must have their statistics ready by the 18th
OF the present month for this compendium
or appendix. 1t has been the custom here.
toforc to publish volume Of results Of
enumeration and various kinds Of s,atisti.
cal information collected after all the
various reports upon the separate subjects
were read. This compendium has been
sort OF u llahdy volume for public use
by those who did not care for detailed
statements. Even the enumeration OF non.
ulatlon for the census OF 1880 is not com.
pletcd. The actual count OF individuals.
the nativity and sex, has been determined,
Dut clerks are still III work upon the tn.
blcs which will show, il ever completed,

slons OF the people enumerated. In the
educational division the work is very much
behind. The report on public schools is
one OF the largest in all the census work,
and every effort is being made to complete
it IN time for Mr, Scatou's compendium.
With regard to the wealth, trade and
taxation division, only the report

thls general branch there are u number OF
special reports upon fisheries, fuel, distri-
button Of population, watershed Of rivers,
manufactures OF certain sections, fur seai
and islands, which will furnish some mate.
rial for the digest.
Within the bureau the utmost liscontent
and dissatisfaction is said 10 exist. and
and things have been going at loose ends
since Gen. Walker resigned. Mr.. Wines,
who has charge Of the department class
seems to have become disguised with
the work and seldom comes to
Washington ut all. Mr.. Porter has prac,i-
cally shaken the dust OF the Census Office
from his ieet and will have nothing more
10 do with it except to put the finishing
touches 10 his remaining reports. Those
who havcnotlci are dissatisfied and express
regrets at having ever accepted responsible
positions in the bureau and for not resign
lug at the time General Walker went. It

tlon and cannot be correct in its statements
