The'census of New York City at tin best constitutes a most dillicult problem, says General Francis A. Walker in tin Forum. In comparison with such i task, a census of Philadelphia is child'! play. There we have a city opcnlj built, with ninety houses to every huti dred families. Tenement houses ar rare. Few of the people sleep in stables in cellars, or in lofls. The houses ar set squarely on the streets. Four-fifth of the inhabitants arc native born, un? all but a trifling percentage arc of Kng lish speech. Merely to state these fact is, to one who knows anything of Ne\ York, enough to show the difficulties o enumeration in that city, which in 1SS' had for 243,157 families but 73,08 dwellings, of which perhaps 2(1,00 were teuemcnt houses within the mean ing of tho sanitary acts.

Few civilians, who find it so easy to criticise the operations of the army in the West, would make much of a success in hunting a band of a few hundred Indiana in a pathless wilderness or a waterless desert bigger than New York and New England combined. And yet, thus handicapped, what splendid work our cavalry has done! While ne civil department of the Government baa for ycara been busy sowing the seeds of strife and furnishing the red man arms of precision, the best of catridges and plenty of them, bow ably our handful of bluecoats, under orders of another, have mauapedto quell the Indian uprisings!
