smith, OF Tyler, for dOorkeeper and
A. j. Dorm, of Austin, for postmaster,
should be explained. Wintersmith,
whether from having been on the
ground longer or because he is person.
ally very popular in all circles, is more
favored by the Texas legislature.
Dorm conducts his canvass courteous
ly, but there is feeling among Win
tersmith's friends that Dorm by his
candidacy is endangering both his
own and the formers chances of sue
cess. When interviewed by me on
this matter of gossips, Dorm said he
felt no chidings of conscience, in view
of the fact that he had announced for
the Office as long ago as last spring.
AS the matter now looks the outcome
will be either a defeat of both the
Texas candidates or the success of
Wintersmith and a generous provision
for Dorm, whose record is honorable
1t is charged that the latter has pool
ed interests with Gen. Fields, Of Geor-
gia, Wintersmiths opponent, but he
denies any combinations, and the fact
that he is much in the company of
Fields proves nothing directly. 1t
1t would be more probable that old
army associations between himself
and ElelQS would cause DOnO OF
sympathy between the two.
A morning paper takes up
the cudgel for Wintersmith and
charges that Fields has fled an appli-
cation with the president for the office
of consul at Cairo, Egypt. J. M. Clai-
borne, chairman of the Texas state
Democratic executive committee, has
been busy trying to defeat Winter
smith, whose offense was an expose in
the News of the fact that Claiborne
returned to the congressional cam
paign committee, at Washington, a
box of documents sent by them for
distribution in Texas, Claiborne re-
| fusing to take the box out of the ex-

awhile, marked sc. o. D." the freight
due being So, or possibly So. 1 be-

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRTDuNE.l
WASHINGTON. Feb. If the President fills the
Suryeyorship and Naval Office in New York promptly
on the expiration of the present incumbents
terms, the political gossip will be soon gratified
with some "New-York appointment" at last Mr.
Burt's term will expire in three days, as he was
commissioned February 4, 1879, and Surveyor
Graham's on next Wednesday. But there
is certainty that the President will act at once
and the present ncumbents will remain of course
until their Successors have qualified.
AS there has been good deal of wrong guessing
as to the time Collector Robertson's term would
expire, it may be of interest to state that his COM
mission was issued on June 20, 1881. The form
of commission for all these offices is that the in
cumbent shall hold for " four years"
Recent gossip has connected the name OF Robert
II. Strahan with one of these appointments. He
would hardly have been willing to take the Ap-
prasershlp, for which he was persistently men,
toned but the Naval Office and Surveyorship have
double the salary and large political influence
when they are used for political purposes. There
seems to have been renewed hopes OF
late among tine Administration Office-seekers
here that Dlstrict-Attoney Woodford wOuId resign.
though no good reason is assigned for them, and
Mr. Strahans name has been connected with this
place also. 1t would bo far moro desirable Office
for lawyer. both az regards pay and professional
stan ling and it is believed by many that this is the
position for which be IS really cand date. AS for
the movement to make Mr. Cooper Collector, that
to use the words of friend of the Presidtn VINO
is not q " visiting statesman" 10 sunberlng"
Predictions are still freely made that the changes
will be made before Congress adjourns. New
York politician, who is on friendly terms with the
Pr sldent, when asked for his theory about him

lBr TELEGRAPH TO Thu TRIBUNE.l

AGAIN REPLIES TO CRITICISMS
lBr TELEGRAPH TO Thu TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The attacks on the census
continue. These attacks are largely of local
origin and there is to believe that many arc
inspired by discharged clerks, WHO magnify small
office scandals true and false. until there is danger
that an entirely erroneous impression will 90 out to
the people. The widest assertions are being sent
over the country-that the census vail cost $1,000
600 that the work is full of bund,r5 that
nothing has been accomplished; and that vast
mass of unmanageable material lies in the Bureau.
As TO the cost. General Walker holds
that the cost Of engraving and printing
is not Justly any part of the cost of the
census The information collected. and then II Is
in the power of Congress TO PRINT what 1T pleases OF
IT. Leaving this item out the census Of 1870 cost
$3,3lO,0OO. The census of 1850 has cost
TINS far exclusive of this item, $3.50
600. The President signed to-day the resolution
making deficiency Appropriation of 100000. and
Congress will appropriate 100000 for the next
fiscal year. General Walker says that he " knows"
the work can be finished for this amount. This
will make the total cost OF the census.
exclusive of printing and engraving S41|o,O0o.
General Walker says frankly that his original
estimate was too sanguine. He thought be could
make the best census ever had. and at the same
time the cheapest. He soon foundit was not best
TO try to make it the cheapest. The Iui-
proyement and enlargement of the census
represented by thit difference OF Sl'-
235,OOO is enormous. Every department OF
information contained in the former census vas
developed and elaborated and in addition large
number of ex perts employed to treat on gfea'
variety of subjects Of national and scientific I'M
portance.
As single example of the fullnes' and eiao-
grafton OF this census, General Walker shows
that the agricultural returns cover 100 questions
as compared with Al In the last census.
The acreage, which was not given ~
all in the last census. and which is probably moro
valuable return than the yield, because WINS
crops fail the area planted Is not apt TO dminiSn
given for seventeen different crops. Many DINER
illustrations might be given. The experts reports
make II 900 or more pages of the most vaiuao'e
matter. As an example OF their value, Genefn
Walker took up the report, when
