rorr..pons.uco Of the Richmond Dispatch.

The complete returns ho" o'oif WY
county. and district IN Supervisor foung's
census district have been forwarded to
Washington. and receipts for the same are
| in the hands of the Supervisor. The last
Of the enumerators was heard from some
DAYS ago. Every paper sent in by the emu
merators was carefully examined aud veri-
fed before being forwarded to Washing
ton. and none were therefore returned by
ef-Supervisor Porter Tor correction or
revision. The Office here Is therefore practl-
| cally closed. being only formally kepss open
| for anv business that may be directed from
WASHINGTON. Az far as this district Is con-
cerned the official figures of the population
OF the several counties and cities may be
obtained from Washington. The popula-
| tion has nrobabIy been ell scheduled and
completed in the Chief SUPERVISOR Office.
In the estimates heretofore given out,
round figures wero generally adopted ana
the estimates were probably beloW tho
true returns. The population OF the as
trict will therefore doubtless run above the
published figures.

MYSTERY.
The name of the negro who was drowned
in the river day before yesterday has not

! Richmond they may probably give some
