Taking the Census. - The census of 1880 will be one of great importance, not only as showiii the actual progress of the country during the second decade of peace, but. also as fixing lie basis of repre. scntation in the I louse of Rlepresenta tyives. ''he hitter point appears to bc of greatest importance in the eves of party leaders. Sunset. Cox, in re portiig an elaborate bill, proposed that the census takers be al)ointed by the governors of the States. The lladi t eals opposed this, as by leaving the appoiitilents in the hands of thc executivo department, Radicals will be chosen. 1t is charged that the Radicals intend to cook the census s8 as to deprive the South of representa tion. Tl'his matter wiil have to be carefullly looked into. The Ne r York h/crald, taking the rates of inlrease between the Federal census of 187C I and the State census of South Caroli t na, estimates a population for uts of 1,141,000. If we get anything like t this there need be no cause of coin plaint. - One of the principal points in Cox's bill is to have the census taken in as short a psriud as possible so as to provide 9 against double enumerations. Ue' pro - poses an average of one hundred dayg with shorter time for cities. As an ex ample of' the rapidity with which an enumeration may bb made, the last census of Great Britain has been c cited. There pr'inted slips were lefl at each house, and in one night, that of Sunday the 2nd of April, these blanks were filled in through all 1 England. The houseless population were enumerated by the police, the navy by the admiralty, the merchant seame i by the customs bureau, and the army through the field marshal's oflice. Special sclteduless were print ed for (lie enumeration of persons in public institutions, on board vessels, - or in charge of boats and barges etm ploVCd in inland navigation. I'ersons traveling during the ntight of Sunday, April 2, were to be included in the schedules of the hotel, or the house at t which they arrived on the morning of Monday. Persons engaged in work - away from home during the night of Sunday were to be included in the - schedule lefl at the house where they usually resided. The causes 'Why an unusual number of persons were present or absent at any given places were to be reported. The expedition - with which the enormous mass of - information was assorted and corn r'. piled may be known from the tct ' that the abstract slhowin, the popl-la I tioni of' G1reat. llraitinii waus laid before -Parlianient in pint on the 20th of I June , only eleven weeks from the dayv - for collect ing (lie schedules. It would - be0 impossible to take the census of so -- spar'sely settled a country as this in so I short a1 time, but some limit should be - fixed. .Since so much depends on the comning census, both par'ties should unite for once ini got ting up a fair and peirfect b)ill. A GENTLE HINT.--In our style ol climate, with its sudden changesof temp)erature--rain, wind and sun shine, often intormingled in a Sin-" gle (lap--it is no wvonder that our children, friends and r'elatives are -so frequently taken from us by neglected colds, half the deaths re sulting directly from this cause.
