THE TENTH CENSUS THE OFFICE OF ENIEVEH jiiTOlt We liavftieceivetLf rooH TroL rancis A. Walker, superintendent .of the cen sus which is to be taken next yeaiya circular, some of the provisions of which may be of interest to some of our readers. The circular is entitled, " Notes upon the Office of Enumerator, Under the Census Law," and since its lensrfh is tog graftfeto admit its pub lication, wl make aVfimnflafy of the facts and suggestions therein con tained : The duties of an enumerator of the tenth census, under .the act of March 3, 1879, will, in the main, be identical with those of assistant marshals at the three last censuses;. but the provisions regar ding the time during which the enu meration shall continue, and the size of enumeration districts, are materially different from those which have here tofore obtained. Enumeration districts are not now permitted, to exceed 4,000 inhabitants according to the census of 1870, and it is the desire that, except in cities and large towns, the number shall fall far below this. The month of June, only, next year; wilt be allowed for the enumeration of districts, while in cities of over 40)0O-ifthabUaftta the enumera tion must be taken within two weeks from the first Monday in June. A cer tain sum will be allowed for the enu meration of each inhabitant, each death reported, each farm, shop, &c, and the amount paid must not exceed $4 per day of ten hours east of the 100th meri dian, and $6 equivalent day?west of that meridian. Thus, thirty days be ing the5 maxjKfpiBt during which the work nay bldbiie, the payjpf an enu merator east o? the 100th meridian can not much exceed $100. Thus, there will be no necessity, as under previous laws, for the enumerator to fit himself up ex pensively ;;. for , traveling, and there is nothing ici the law inconsistent with the idea of the enumerator devoting a a part of very day .or night to his ordi nary business and his family. Thus, the compensation will be to a great de gree net The advantage to the govern ment of close limitation of districts will be found in tlje high degree of lo cal knowledge secured. The enumera tor knowing, as will presumably be the case, every house and every family of the town of which he is a resident, will be placed almost beyond the danger of omissions, which are liable to occur in the canvass of larger districts, and will also be above being imposed upon by false statements, , which to a stranger might appear jdaosibXe enough. It is important that enumerators r be apt at figures, of active habits and free writersLjjt jjsjremarked.tbat a pre vious experience of official duties will be found of great service to the enu merator. Township assessors and lo cal officers, postmasters at small offices, country physicians and school masters are suggested as persons likely to make efficient enumerators, from the fact that they are well acquainted with the history and conditions of the people of their several districts, 'and that at least two of these classes are accustomed to official correspondence and to filling out forms. Postmasters must, however, in every casp sefure tlys permission of the Postmaser-feneral before they can ac cept the office of enumerator. With the circular above outlined is printed the text of the act of March 3, 1879, relating to the formation of dis tricts, and the appointment, compensa tion, duties of enumerators, &c. The provisions of this act are here summa rized so far as they are not indicated above: There shall be a supervisor of the census of each. di8trict ajid, each enu merator, before entet-fng npon his du ties, must receive a commission from him, setting forth the boundaries with in which he is to work, and the enumer ator shall also take an oath in manner and form prescribed. The enumerator shall tlreir-rlsltrpcTsonally each dwell ing house in his district, and each mem ber of a family living oat 6t the familv. and shall obtain frA&ibeiiead'of theW fi mi ltr s -.- a j . "-""j uiusuie member every item of information required by the act providing for the census. If the head of the family is not competent to an swer questions, the information requir ed may be sought of the member most competent to impart it The original schedules, duly certified, shall be sent to the supervisor of the district.! In cas es where payment is not made' by the day the enumerator shall receiv 9 omt for the name of each living inhabitants, ceuu ior eacn death reported, 10 cents for each farm, 15 cents, for each estab lishment of productive industry. The sub-divisions to which the above rate of compensation snail apply must be de signated by the superintended, pf. cen sus a mo,4flvJb4fce.

Z " WJUI I SOUTHERN AND WESTERN KEl'l -DIATION. The close of the war found the South ern States not only impoverished, but owing debts contracted prior to the war. The recreant natives, the carpet baggers and the negroes came along and not only decreased our power to pay them but added other debts to them. Some of the States have scaled, others repudiated illegally contracted obliga tions, and others still, desirous of get ting in better condition, have postpon ed making any settlement at all. Hence the cry has lately been raised that the South is not only brutal but dishonest, some of these States having actually repudiated parts of their debts f In deed! And has the South a monopoly in this business of repudiation ? Now has it? Let us see: : "The St. Loui; Post-Dispatch publishes a full accoun of the bonds repudiated in the States of Kansas and Illinois. It shows Kansas has repudiated $5,547,000, and sixteen different counties and nine cities refuse to pay interest on their debt, which ag gregates $3,547,000. Seventeen counties and five cities and towns in Illinois have refused and still refuse to pay in terest on their debt, aggregating $8,517, 000." The beam in the Northern and West ern eye is of no consequence. It is the mote in the Southern eye that most needs looking after. & The Exodus in North Carolina. Elsewhere this morning we print a telegram saying that two colored men from North Carolina are now in Wash ington City endeavoring to raise means to organize an exodus movement amons: the colored people of this State. In the Washington Republican of the 22nd we observe an interview of a re porter with these "exodusters." They told the reporter that in this State the negroes are greatly oppressed ; the laws are unjustly administered ; the negroes are cheated out of all they make; if they buy anything it is of inferior quality and they are obliged to pay double price for it; they are not allowed to own stock; they are made to work the roads while the white people are not, and much more to the same effect. Why undertake to deny all this ? There is no word of truth in it but those who live here know this and many Northern people want to be lieve it and hence will not be con vinced to the contrary. What's the odds, anyhow, so long as Robinson carries New York this fall V "Southern Repudiation." This is the new battle-cry which the Northern Stalwarts have raised, and in which they must of course be joined by the Southern Republicans. This presents in a very clear and enviable light those Southern men who belong to the Re publican party. They must either repudiate this plank of their party platform, or else they must join in "the machine" sneer at their own people at their neighbors and at those of their own flesh and bone. If they refuse to do this they are not in accord with their party, and their party tolerates no insubordination ; if they do it, they place themselves in the same category with "the ill bird which befouls its own nest," since they revile their neighbors for inability to pay debts which they themselves, with their carpet-bag allies and the negroes, created. This is just the dilemma in which the Southern Republican finds himself, and on either horn of it he must be impaled. TnE Failure of War Firxsv James Adger & Co., of Charleston, who failed last week, was one of the South ern firms which the end of the war found with whole bones. One after an other of these firms, which were un shaken by the noise of conflict, has gone down since, while "heaven was all tran quility," until now there is scarcely one of them left to tell the tale. This Ad ger break is a bad one. Geo. W. Wil liams was rich at the end of the war. There is hardly anylonger a doubt that he, too, is insolvent." We make no sug gestion of ill-gotten gains because we do not know that any of these gains were gotten by ill means ; but the sim yle story looks like Providence intend ed that the war should be a leveler, and that' those who did not go down in the maelstrbm should survive itforonlya brief period. It argues well for the newlv aDDoint- ed comptroller-general of Georgia, Mr. vWm. A.WrighVthathe is the brother Of an editor, Hon. H. Gregg Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu tionalist.

Y., the other day, said: "I am not much of a farmer, and have little rigLt to stand before you as such, but I brought OYerhere for exhibition?: some potatoes that certainly exceed my speech. In reference to the depression of the times, let me recall to you an ancient fable : There was once a giant so powerful that he could not be over come. But he derived his strength from his mother-earth, for no matter how ex hausted he might become, he regained his powers the moment that he .came into contact with the soil. The way in which he was finally overpowered was by coming into contest with an oppo nent so strong that he could lift him from the ground and hold him suspend ed in the air until he strangled to death. Now there is a lesson in this for us. So long ;is this people of ours can seek its "Uupport from mother-earth, so long it Mean not be overcome. There never was a President of the United States who, when lie left his office, did not seek the country and retire to his farm. Wash ington did this, so did Adams and Jeff- irson. Our greatest statesmen have sought for rest, health and peace in re tireineht to their farms witness Web ster and Clay." Disagreements Between the Vatican and the Belgian Clerflry. Brussels, September 23. The Nor welles Du Dour states that Mr. Frere Orban, minister of foreign affairs, has gone to Rome to negotiate with the Vatican respecting the attitude of the Belgian clergy. That journal says Cardinal Nina, papal secretary of State,- inclines to moderation, but the Jesuits are pushing matters to ex tremes. The Belgian bishops have asked the Pope for precise instructions, which the Pope hesitates to give. The threatened refusal of the sacraments by the bishops to the elementary school teachers who retain their posts under the new system, has so far led to the resignation of only 100 out of a total of 7,500 teachers. Sale of a Railroad Selma, Ala., Sept 22. The Selina Gulf Railroad was sold under foreclo sure to-day. The bidding was spirited. The Mobile and Montgomery Railroad's final bid at $120,000 was raised $100 by Charles Williams, of Atlanta, for D. F. Sullivan, president and owner of the Peninsular Railroad, who was declared the purchaser. The citizens of Selma are rejoiced at the prospect of a direct line to the peninsular. The Mobile & Montgomery Railroad did not bid as a company on the road. The syndicate was composed of New York parties, Is It All for the Bloody Shirt ? Washington, September 23 At the instance of the Postmaster General, Chief Special Agent Parker lias tele graphed his deputy at Atlanta thus: "The case of the shooting of the post master at Blaekville requires imme diate attention. The Postmaster Gen eral will abolish the office if the post master is not safe while performing his duty and is not protected by the authorities. Go yourself if possible." The Belgium Wheat Crop. Brussels, Sept. 23. The Bulletin Des Holies reports that the new wheat crop so far is unsatisfactory both in yield and quality, being deficient even in the districts where it was expected to be favorable. In several depart ments new wheat fetches from three to four francs per quintal less than old, someof it requiring several month's dry ings before it can be milled. Boring Butherford.
