secured many proprietary rights TO property. 1t
was therefore the duty of the President 10 use
the means at his disposal TO maintain the one and
preserve the other. This duty is equally imperative
should the emergency arise upon the high seas, or
in territory recognized to be within the Jurisdiction
such duty cannot be interpreted as an assent
10 the extension of the territorial boundaries.
Apparently the position of the President is that
the initial step in making known the will of the
sovereign in regard to the extension of our
boundaries TO include this territory is 10 be taken

MAPS FOR ENUMERAToRs.

The other new method adopted is to furnish
each enumerator with book containing a com
plete map OF his enumeration district These
maps have been carefully compiled from data
and surveys furnished by the fire insurance
companies of this city. On his map the enum-
orator will find each building lot in his district
clearly defined and numbered. together with the
character of the building thereon. or. If there
is none II viii be indicated vacant The
enumerator must jot down each lot the num-
Der of persons he personally found to be dwell
ing there, and If any citizen complains that he
has been overlooked by the enumerator the
truth or falsity Of the charge be easily as
certained by Mi Wilbur. and the Of the
complainant can be added TO the roll if he really

TWO NEW METHODS.

In order to secure the desired accuracy. two
new methods have been introduced. One is the
invention of Mr.. Wilbur and is intended to OBJ
viate the objection made against former counts
in this city. which is that large number Of citi
zens fail Of enumeration here because they have
gone 10 the country in June to escape the heat
and help 70 swell the alleged population OF sum
mer resort towns at the expense Of their real
home New-Y York. How to include these sum-
ner exodus birds has always been hard prob
lem TO solve but Mr.. Wilbur has hit upon the
idea Of mailing to them about 100000 postal
cards addressed to himself on which printed
a few questions which. if the recipients of these
postal cards take the trouble TO answer, will
greatly expedite the census. Here is the form
of the postal card:

The peculiar conditions surrounding the work or
