fhay and do feel for the situation of France jhe must not belittle his own government in Poing so. He must remember that diplomacy oes not admit of personal emotion; dnd that It differs from electioneering canvassers in AMllinois this far—the less buncombe in diplomacy the better. Shall We Have a Census? The discussion in regard to the census, that promised to be profitable and practical, has suddenly slipped away and lost itselfin a cloud jof amiable generalities and stunning compli- jments worthy a political manifesto in the ‘‘era jof good feeling.” Everybody calls everybody jelse a gentleman, and it seems to be thought that is the end of it. But whatin the mean- jtime becomes of the census? The fact remains jthat the census is not taken and has not been Weaken as it should be and must be in order to real and full enumeration of the people f this city, We do not care how many gen- Wlemen there are in the matter—the more the Wetter, of course—but we want the census jofficials, gentlemen or not, to count the peo- pple. This they have not done, and from wppearance are not disposed to do. We take Jit as not the bost sign in the world when any \eriticism is made on the conduct of an official r his friends to suppose that they have vin- cated his conduct when they have offered a ackage of certificates that he is a gentleman. hese certificates are cheap. It is better in uch cases to discover a man’s gen- ility in the scrupulous and conscien- lous ~completeness of his labor. One f the arguments put forth . by the ensus men is especially worth notice. They us that the subordinates get paid by the so much money for so many names by each man, and therefore that it is @ interest of each man to get as many names possible. Now, what is wanted is an actual, ical enumeration of the people that really ve here. We do not want as many names as ossible. We do not want any discretion left the subordinates in the premises. One of ur reports is to the effect that a man told the Pensus taker there was a family in the third Ptory. Now, to the census taker that family fwas associated with the four cents that he {would be paid for taking it, and he thought it fwould not pay to go to the third story for four ents on such a hot day. Therefore he did ot go. If General Walker and Marshal JSharpe are the finest gentlemen the world has Been since Ohesterfleld was buried they can- ot make a good census with subordinates thom they teach to reason thus by bheir plan of payment. One of the subordi- wnates, named Kennedy, has been to look fp one of the non-enumerated who wrote to fhe Hexatp. This Kennedy writes to the Fadical Pharisee on the subject. He says :— “There can be no mistake about the house, asthe said C. L. Sicher, who keeps a gin shop, lives there.” That, of course, settles everything. Itcannot be necessary to make the census correct if anybody keeps a gin shop. If aman keeps a gin shop he ought mot to be enumerated. He ought to be grate- ful to the census men for not killing him with paving stones in a spontaneous explosion of sheir republican virtue. It has been said by js city journal, ina bewildering state of stu- pidity, that the census of this city must necessarily be taken at a time when a very Jarge number of the people are absent. Why? ‘Because it always has been. Beautiful con- wervatism! Also because the law fixes the time. Butitseems that the men aro still at it. Therefore they may do it under the law in September, and in September our people are nearly all home. The work should be done completely within one week, and that yweek should be a week in September, say the third or fourth. So it would be if our census men were not so full of gentility that they have no room left for brains, A Prorer Trure To tHe MEMORY oF Ovk GREAT ADMIRAL.—We are pleased to see our soldiers, sailors, citizens and city authorities heartily and spontaneously co- operating in behalf ofa becoming tribute of respect to the memory of our great Admiral, -Farragut, on the occasion (about the 25th ot October next) of the removal of his remains from Portsmouth, N. H., to this city, and thence to the cemetery of Woodlawn for their Ginal interment. We also learn that, as sug- gested by Mayor Hall, a United States vessel of war has been detailed to bring the Admiral’s remains to this port, and at the contemplated funeral ceremonies here we ‘expect the Presi- dent and Cabinet, with an imposing repre- sentation of the army and navy, will. be in attendance—regulars and volunteers. _ Honor to the memory of such a man as Farragut is honor to patriotism, heroism and purity of character, “of which every American and every admirer of a great and glorious example, in life and in death, may be justly proud. Four Necrozs were hanged in Norfolk, Va., yesterday, for the murder of a white man named Gray, in December last. As an Instance of brutality and inhumanity and in- excusable bungling, the execution exceeded anything we have yet read of. The four con- demned men were dropped together amid their appealing cries to Heaven and to man for mercy. The ropes of the two outside men broke and let them fall to the ground, where they lay writhing and squirming until strangu- jation had done its work upon the otters. The hangman, after cutting down the two who were successfully experimented upon, dragged the bodies along the yard and dumped them into their coffins. Then he walked the two sur- vivors up the steps of the scaffold, amid more shrieks for mercy, tied them to the ropes which yet remained intact, and dropped them with such improved skill that, after hanging fifteen or twenty minutes, they were both declared dead. Then this model hangman cut them down, dragged them to their coffins and dumped them in as he had the others. Altogether the whole proceeding must have been avery entertaining sight, especially to the white females who were present. Sear iinet lend Tae Frewon Sreaser Laraverre has been detained here by orders from the French war Minister until next Tuesday for the purpose of taking on board a large quantity of arms said to have been purchased in this city for the French republic. There is no violation of the Jaw in such shipment, and as the French suf- fer especially from the want of arms there is an excellent way of assisting the new republic.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 16, 1870, Reform in the Revenue Marive Service. Mr. Secretary Boutweli’s scheme of reform of the public service appears to extend ttself to every branch of his department. His latest reform 1s that of the revenue marine service, Under the old sys- tem it ia asserted that most of the positions were conferred upon political favorites, whose qualifica- tlons were generally very inferior, and who, as @ consequence, gave very little time or service to their duties, Mr. Boutwell overhaule. the whole system, and his sharp measures resulted in causing the pro- motion of so.ncand the resignation or dismssal of others who were found incompetent, Among the vacancies thus created are twenty third leutenan- cies, which were chiefly filled by people from Mame and Massachusetts, Mr. Boutwell, though @ New England man, considers that the distribution of this vranch of his patronage was un- fair, and proposes to give all sections of the country @chance. In pursuance of the plan mapped out by Mr. Boutwell, Acting Secretary Richardson to-day issued the following circular, addressed to ail col- lectors of customs in the United States:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Wasuinuton, Sept. 16, 1870. SiR—A board of officers for the examination of candidates tor admission into the revenue marine service ts now in session at Washington. As it is desirable that candidates be selected with reference to an equal distribution, as tar aa practica- ble, of the posiitons among citizens of all the States, you are permitied to invite such persons resident in your district as possess the requisite qualifications in nautical attainments and practical seamansiip, and who are not above the age of thirty years, io make personal application, by letter, under their own signatures, to the depart- Ment for the position of third heutenant, These ap- poitments will be placed on file and receive atten. tion from the department at the proper time. Two copies of a form of questions prescribed for exami. nation of candidates are herewith enclosed for your information, No consideration will be given to the application of persons having any physical disability or who do not oifer unexcepuionable testimonials as to character, capacity and experience. Applicants should address the Secretary of the Treasury. WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, Acting Secretary’ of the Treasury. Activity in the Government Priutiug Office Works in Course of Publication. The Government Printing Omice has seldom been more rushed with business than at present. First and foremost there ts the Blue Book, of 950 pages, which is to be ready by the Ist prox. It ought to have been out a year ago, and doubticss would have been were it not for the opposition to its publication made in certain quarters on the ground of useless expenditure. “The Blue Book generally contains lists of government officials who have been removed long vefore the issue of the work, and therefore as a correct guide its value is not much, Why it is published in such a loose and inaccurate form perhaps some one of the Mysterious government oficials may be able to in- form the public. Bestdes the, Blue Book there are in Progress of printing six large volumes about the Paris Exposition, of about five hundred pages each, the new and revised consular regulations, the State Department register, containing lists of all tne Secretaries and subordinates from the commence- ment of the government; the coast survey works, tide tables, list of national banks and redeeming agents, reports of marine hospitals, the twenty-fifth volume of the roll of honor, four vol- umes concerning the survey of the fortieth parallei, embracing a history of the mineral resources of that region of country; a description of the military Posts throughout the country, books of explorations of the Indian and Atlantic oceans and straits of Gib- Taltar, another edition of the list of disasters at sea and of the post ofiices throughout the country, and, finally seven huge volumes of the debates of last Congress, which were mighty in extent. § What the Redskins Cost the United States. From an accurate estimate made by one of the clerks of the accounting division of the Treasury Department it is ascertained that each man, women and child of the Indian population of the United States costs the government $360 per annum. The Pacific Railway Mail Service. Colonel Armstrong, of the Railway Mail Service, is Perfecting his arrangements for the prompt, regu- lar and safe transmission of letters and newspapers over the Union Pacific Railroad, so a3 to establish facilities in every respect corresponding with the most approved manner throughout our country. The railroad has been converted into a@ railway post ofice service, the design of the department, being to do the work of the distribution of the mails for the Pacific coast and the midland Territories in postal cars while in tran- sit between the points of Omaha, Nebraska, ana Og- den, Utah. General Land Office Circular. The Commissioner of the General Land Office wil] shortly issue for general distribution an important circular showing the manner of proceeding to the title to public, lands by purchase, by location, by scrip, by pre-emption and by homestead. Health of the Attorney General. Letters have been recetved in this city from At- torney General Akerman, now absent in Georgta, representing his state of health as very poor, and stating that in all probability he can not be back here within a month. Annual Reports of the Departments. The preparation of the annual reports has been commenced, and from present appearances all the documents will be ready earlier than usual. Acting Secretary of the Treasury Richardson has requested all the heads of bureaus to have their reports com- pleted by the ist of November, so that Mr. Koutwell may have ample time to peruse them preparatory to making up his own report. Bonds of Internal Revenue Omtcials. There has been some trouble about the value of some of the bonds given by internal revenue officials in diderent parts of tne country, and particularly in the South, and to satisfy the government regarding the responsibility of sureties on such bonds a thorough examination has been ordered. This in- vestigation 1s to include all bonds of internal reve- nue commissioners in every part of the country, Internal Revenue Operations. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, the following kinds and manner of stamps were issued from the ofMice of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue:— INTERNAT REVENUE.

But few changes are now being made in the sta- tions of army officers, This 1s said to be on account of the new army bill authorizing reductions, as it is feared by many that they may be honorably dis- charged if they should desire any change of sta- tion. Consequently the applications for desirable stations have greatly decreased, and the special or- ders from the War Department heretofore issued daily are now reduced to two or three a week, and it1s arare occurrence to find an ofMicer’s name in these. The most of them pertain to recruits, mu- sicians, &c, 981,459 *| 3,762, 880 Personal. Vincent Collyer, one of the Indian Commission, arrived here to-day from his Western trip.

Mr. Trench, though quite a young man, has had eleven years of diplomatic experience, having served since 1859 in France, Turkey, Bava- ria and Rio Janeiro prior to being transferred to this capital, in 1868. During his sojourn here Mr. Trench has formed part of the family of Sir Edward Thornton, and @ large circle of friends will deeply regret the absence of one who hus acquired such merited popularity, and will be sorry to learn of his probable transfer to another scene of duty. He will be greatly missed by the family of Sir Edward, wY'n whow be Ges @ creat favorita. POLITICAL. CITY POLITICS. The German Demecrats. Yesterday evening the German democrats of the city met in full council at the Teatonia Assembly Rooms, on Third avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, Every ward was represented by (he regular delegates of the several ward commit- tees in the general commitcee af the German Demo- cratic Unton party. Coroner Dr. William Schirmer presided and Mr. Herrmann Schroeter offictated as Secretary, Qn looking over the assemblage one Could not fail to observe on the countenances of these men the assurance of approaching victory,represent- ing, as they do, nearly thirty thousand German vo- ters, After the transaction of some routine hush hess, communications from the ward committees of every ward in the city were received and read by the secretary, all urging, some in more, some im less eurnoat language, the renomination of Governgr Homan for the same ugh oMece and of Charles E. Loew for County Cierk aud A. Oakey Hall for Mayor, and aiso the selection of Matthew 'f. Brennan for Sheriff. ‘The Germans of the Twentieth ward went even so far tn their enthusiasm for Governor Hoffman that they expressed their fervent nope to see Aim trans- ferred in 1872 “from the executive chatr of a single State to that of all the states.” As often as the names of these candidates were mentioned the mecting cheered lustily, Hereupon Mr. Magius Gross, chairman of the Executive Committee, submitted a report, prefac- ing it by a few appropriate remarks. ‘The re- port consisted of & series of resolutions, the first of which stated that inasmuch as the confl- dence which the Germans had so often ex- pressed in Governor Hotiman hay been fully jonny by his oficial action, they again confidently ope for Nis renomination, being sure of his success at the polis, The second resolve speaks of the highly Sausfactory manner in which Mayor Hall and County Clerk Loew have severally discharged the functions of their respective offices, and hence they are again most energetically recommended for renomination and election, ‘The third extols Matthew ‘I, Brennan as a0 incorruptible and capable public official, who especially, as Police Commissioner, endeared’ hime Sel! to the Germans by the manner in which he ex- ecuted the odious provisions of the Excise law, and he 1s, therefore, strongly recommended to Tatumany Tor the office of shertif. A fourth resolution, said Mr. Gross, would show to the German democrats that Tammany was in earnest to accede to just de- mands of the Germans, The resolve was in favor of their esteemed colaborer and true demo- crat, Gerson N. Herrman, recommending him tor the oiflce of Coroner and expressing their contident expectation of his nomination. A fifth resolution was then read by Mr. Gross, Warning the approaching State Convention from falling into the same error ag the republicans, who attempted to make polttical capital of the Euro pean war question, which must be settled without American interiecence; but every one should be lett to nis freedom of individual opinion. All these re- solutions were adopted unanimously by acclamation and ginid the wildest enthusiasm, In the place of General William Seebach, deceased, Mr. Edward Schitchung, of the ‘twentieth ward, was elected First Vice President of the committee and Mr. Gerson N. Herrinan, of the Seventeenth, Second Vee ia and then the Geneza! Committee ad- journed, the Soldiers aud Sailers Central Union. Last night a meeting of the Soldiers and Satlors’ Central Union was held at the Cooper institute, about two hundred and fifty members present, and General Pleasanton tu the chair. The executive committee were requested to report on the number of organiza- tions working in harmony with them this campaign, and which are sald to be twenty Im number, with an aggregaie Member of 2,000. It was decided to rent @ hall ia Broadway to meet in during the coming campaign, the rent to be $200 a month, and a finance committee. was appointed to supply the sinews of war. Addresses were delivered by Colonel Burns, Colonel Morgan, Colonel Bullet, General Ketchum, Goneral Cregan and General Bell, Several speakers: condemned the “other Richmond in the field,” as having been started in the interests of Tammany, and they insisted that the Central Union 1s the origi- nal Richmond, Minor Political Meetings. The German M. T. Brennan Club of the Seven- teenth ward met last evening at Rudiger’s Germa- nia Hall, Mr. Frederick Hess presiding. The nom- inations of John T. Hoffman for Governor, A. Oakey Hall for Mayor, M. T, Brennan for Sheriff, and Chas. E. Loew for County Clerk were urged by resolutions. The Thirteenth Ward German Democratic Asso- ciation had @ grand banner raising on ‘Thursday evening, at the corner of Suffolk and Delancey Streets. The banner contained admirable oo of A. Oakey Hull, Charles E. Loew, M. T, Brennan and W. M. Tweed, Jr. Speeches were delivered eulogistic of the originals of the portraits, and re- solutions Pledging support to them if nominated Were adopted. Under tho direction of President Jacob Seebacher everything passed off finely. The republicans of the Eighth Assembly district held a meeting last evening to form a Woodford and Kaaft in club, The Germans of the Tenth ward met last evening and formed @ Nachtmann association.
