 A private letter from Mr. Sam White, at Washington, D. C., says census department there gives Pres cott's population at over 1900, and Hopes at over l100, giving Us 200 more than Hope-sayS this is official. We trust this is correct, but can't see how it is, as Mir. Russell, enum- orator here, on order from his supc- ror officer, gave us number as 1900 for Prescott. We await further de- velopments, but suggest that our business men move in the matter at once, and insure it's being taken correctly.
 OrR PortLNTIoN. - Enumerator Russell gave as approximate of Pres cott's population 1900, ar increase of only 47 over 1880. We have heard many of our most prominent citizens say this cannot be correct, as at least 75 or 100 new residences have been built here since 1880, and every house in town is occupied; that we have at least 1900 or 2OOO people now We have heard of many who say they were not counted. Our people demand recount. We sug- gest that a private canvass or count hn nnln ln ascnrtain cNrrecl num.
