THE CENSUS. Everything Prepared for Tak- ing It on the Ist of June. Full Statement of the Information Re- quired by the Government. Names, Ages, Color and Descrip- tion of the Population. Value of Property and Agricultural ana Industrial Products. ‘The taking of a census every decade of years involves the answering of two questions—Has the Population of the country decreased or increased wince the last census? What is the value of the real and personal property of tne people ¢ There are, of course, minor questions, such as those relating to religious, literary or é‘ueational progress, but the two specifically mentioned contain the most impor- ‘tant information desired py government, for it fol- lows a8.a matter of coarse that #0 long a8 popula- tion multiplies and property increases im value the intellectual progress of a nation keeps pace with these evidences of prosperity. no improvement; in fact, people and consequent establishment of large centres of population tend directly to impair 5 stauding—that aggregate religion and morality increase vastly, proportionately they decre: the United Staies contained but six millions of tn- habitants there was a higher order of morals thau at the present time, when they contain forty mililons. ‘This fact, however, is 30 patent quires illustration. HOW THE POY/'ULATION WILL BE NUMBERED. On the first day of June next the censns takers ‘will begin their rounds in their respective sub-di- visions, visiting each dwelling house, whether in eity or country, and each manufacturing establish- ment, as also such other places as it may be neces- sary to obtain intormation from. the population he puts certain questions which are printed on pages of paper marked ‘Schedule 1.” His first duty is to number the dwelling nouses in the order of visitation and to number the families con- tamed therein in like manner. Morally there may be the muldpiteauon of instanee, when that it scarcely re. Beginning with Let us suppose one family. census taker, who is an employed assistant of ‘the United States Marsiial, upon which official de- volves the duty of taking the census, records the name of every person whose place of abode on the first day of June, 1870, was in this family. A descrip- tion of each person is recorded, and includes his or her age at last birthday, but if under one year, the months are simply given, Must be stated, if male with the letter “‘M,”? if fe- male with the letter F. The color of the person is “W,"? if black with a “B,” if mulatto with an “M,’ if Chinese with a “OC,” and if Indian with an “1.” of these questions are self-apparent, They enable the government to ascertain the name, age and color of every person, from infancy to old age, and it is therefore imperative upon the people to answer each Maiden ladies and widows of | Qoudtful ages should, not confuse the government and render its census tables unreliable by insisting upon their being not more than twenty-five years old, while old beaux of sixty must honestly say sixty and not stick at forty. aim and desire of the authorities, all citizens will perceive the necessity answering truthfully. PROFESSIONS, OCCUPATIONS AND TRADES. In the foregoing six questions the number of per- ‘sons in each family ts obtained, and, strictly speak- ing, the census of population is taken. But it is desirable that the profession, occupation or trade of each person, male or female, shall be obtained, and to this end a question concerning this desideratum If the person is a lawyer, a shopkeeper or a carpenter, he simply states the fact for record. Where there is no business the answer ts “none,” except in cases where some aristocratic individual desires to inform the government that he is a “gentle- man,” which means everything, from a person who lives on the income arising from his property to one who spends his time in fighting the tiger. Seriously, however, it being desirable to learn what the various oceupations of the population are, this inquiry should be fully answered. REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. ‘The eighth and ninth inquiries refer to the value of rea) estate and personal property owned by each person—not the value assessed by government for taxes, but the value put upon such property either by the owner himself or by the market. For exam- person may own a house and iot worth but which the tax assessors valne at $4,000. He should report the valne at the first named to the census takers, so that it may be arcertained what was the cash value of all the real and personal property in the county, State and throughont the re- public on the ist of June of the present year, PLACE OF BIRTH, PARENTAGE, ETC The next inquiry of importance 13 the tenth, which lace of birth of each person; if a native States, the nawe of we State or Terri- if of foreign birth, the naine of born, Inquirtes eleven to seven- tal, social and Furthermore the sex thus recorded:—If white with a ‘The importance question trathfully.

When he died his property was leit to the chiktren of his two brothers, E. P, and G. W. Seward, then born. A clause was luserted that any children born after should have the same share, E. P. Seward was an old man at the time and a widower. The executors at his, request divided the property and gave bin his share to sapport and educate tis family, He married afterwards and had other chil- dren, who claimed their part of the property, and to have it setuied Wiat they are entitled to is the object of the suit. Judge Cardozo, in his opinion, says:—“The will prohibited the executors from making the division of the estate into twenty parts, which the testator Mirected should be done within one year after the decease of the testator, but, except to the extent of that provibition, dire such division to me made as soon after his death as convenient. ‘This vested in the executors @ discretion ¢ which, except in case of fraud or manifest aiuse, is court would not exercise any control. It 13 enough to say that no such case 1s presented here, aud that in view of Uhe fact that the allotments Which the executors were to make could not be binding on the minor Jegatees, nntil they had opportunity to acquiesce in them aiter their majority. I cannot say that the period which the executor aliowed to elupse be- Leen the time when si uiescence took place and when they aciually made the division was at ail: upreasonali In respect to the clause of the will Which directs that the shares of BP. and G, W. Seward shall open to let in atter-born children, [ think the execuiora have misconstrued the will, 1 do not mean to say that [ do not think Wt very likely that the testator meant that aller-born ctuidren shoud take, equally with the others, & share of the income accrued prior to the birch of such atter-born children, — bt t wil, while susceptible of that construction, is also suscepibie of the construction that each child shal share the income arsing from the ne of Its birth, and asit 1s very well settled that when one constracuen will support and the other defeat ine provisions of the will, that shall, if con- sistent with its terms, be adopted whieh will sus- faint. i think the latter must be held to be the right constraction in this case, because otherwire the provistous would be in conslict with the Revised Statutes, which do not permit an accumulation for the benefit of persons born after the testator’s death, So far, therefore, as the accounts of the excentors and trustees conmict with these views they will have to corrected, A dec may and should be made for the repay- ment of sich sums as shall appear when the accounts ure restated, upon the principles. he atuied, to lave been pald to either of the defend children of KE.
