,v-om our Regular Correspondent,


of delay is that in one of the enumera-
ton districts OF the city OF Winchester
the original blanks we're mlslald, AMI no
trace of them could be found, hence
new count had to be made. 1t will he
finished in a few days, and then the
count can be completed, AMI the onlciai
figures for every county IN the state
will have been made pubic, together
with the population for the entire state:
The counties embraced IN the Ihird
Supervisors district are aie1andria'
Caroline, Clarke, Culpeper, falriax,
Fauauier. Frederick, Greene, Hanover
King GEORGE, Loudoun, Louisa, Madison,

hammock. Rockingham, Spotsylvania,
Stafford, and Warren.
THE FIRST COUNT
The Census Bureau officials think that
thew will be able to complete the first
official count of all the States and Terri
tories by the middle or end OF next
week. Nearly all of the districts have
been given out, and the remaining ones
are straQelers, in which there are errors
in enumeration, missing returns, etc.
After this count is finished then the
whole thing will be once more gone
over carefully so that the lists can De
verified.
VARIOUS OTHER TABLES
After that the clerks will be busy for
many months making up various tables
such as those that show sex, age, nativ-
ity. race. etc. This will all be prepare
tory TO publishing the immense reports
that are issued on this subject every ten
years by the Government.
The approximate number OF clerks
employed in Washington alone IN the
Census Bureau is twenty-four hundred,
and fully half. if not more, are women
and girls. Within few months the
majority of the female employees will be
relieved OF further duty, as there Will be
no more work for them to do.
RECEIVED IN THE KITCHEN.
Colonel Blocks-of-Five " Dudley,
who has been out in Indiana whooping
up the political contest in the interest OF
the Republicans, has returned to Wash
inQton, but he is very close-mouthed
and has not impaired any information OF
value since he got back. One OF the
strange things is that since the exposure
OF Dudley in connection with the cam,
Uaicn of 1888 he has not been admitted
mt the White House except through the
back door, although he did more than
any other one man to carry that state
for the present occupant of the Execu-
tive Mansion. but probably Mr.. Harrison
does not think so. At any rate Dudley
is no longer hail-fellow-well-met with
the President. but he is considered good
enough to still help to run the party ma
chine in the Hoosier State when there Is
any sly work TO be done.
HE DOES NOT SHINE.
The Harrisons and the Dudleys used
TO he as thick as peas IN the pod, but
the President does not now think that 1t
ia proper to have the man of blocks
of-fve" notoriety around the house,
and hence the once great Dudley does
not shine at any OF the big dinners gwen
during the season at the Executive Man
sion.
ADMIRAL PORTER sAID TO BE DYING.
Admiral Porter, of the navy, has been
in failing health for some time, and he
is now reported dying at his residence III
this city. Up TO two years ago the Adj
miral was in remarkably good health.
He is nearly eighty years of age. More
than fifty years ago he helped to make
the survey of New York harbor. OF
course his career during the civil war
is so we'll known that it is useless to
touch upon it. The Office which he has
held for more than twenty years was
specially created for him. and at his
death it will be abolished unless Con-
press should revive it for the benefit OF
some one else. which is not likely. de
is known as the Admiral of the Navy.
EXTRA-sEssIoN TALK DIED OUT.
The talk about the proposed extra ses-
sion of Congress has somewhat died out,
but the matter has not been fully aban-
doned bv the President and the Cabinet.
However. they find the question an en-
harrassino one in view of the fact that
thew are being urged by so many OF the
radicals IN the party to call the extra
session, so that an early start may be
made toward the passage OF the infamous
force bill. II ia nov stated here that
nothing in this direction will be decided
upon in ell probability until after the
election. Then if it is thought necessary
Congress may be called together IN a
hurry. Many people imagine that the
President is obliged to give thirty days
notice, but that is not fact. As gene
raj thing that much notice has been
given. hut the Constitution says nothing
about the limit of time.
HANDSOME PROFITS.
Ouite n number OF Washington people
who have made investments in the boom
ing sections OF Virginia. where new
towns are being started and railways are
being extended, report that they have
already realized handsome profits on the
money put out.
One lady employed in the depart
ments says that she paid 500 for LOT
in one ofthe Virginia towns about n year
ago and that she sold it the other day al
AN advance OF several thousand dollars.
PLUMB AN INVESTOR.
Just before Senator Plumb left the
CITY for his home in Kansas he stated
that he had invested considerable money
in railway and mining property in Vir.
ginia. and he expressed the opinion that
his investments would bring large re-
turns. He said that he regarded Vir-
ginia as one Of the richest OF States in
resources, and that eventually a greet
boom would sweep through the Old Do
minion and ultimately make her one OF
the most prosperous in the Union.
CAMPBELL ANOTHER.
Governor Campbell, Of Ohio. is also
another well-known public man who has
money invested in Virginia. He took a
large holding in company that laid out
one of the growing cities, and is also
said 10 be interested in two of the mining
and manufacturing companies that were
started last year. He likewise has the
utmost faith in the growth and de.
yelopment OF the resources Of Virginia.
