A meeting of the ceusus enumerators of the | Third and Fourth Assem ly districts was held last d Motel, No, 173 Mudi- | eveuing in the Seventh Ws son street. Mr. Gideon J. T er, on beirg calied to the chair, said that he understood the object of | the meeting to be to ascertain how the enumera- lors were getting on with thei work, and by interchange of their ideas and expe- rience render euch other mutual atd, Itis feared that the census return for this city will fall (ar short of the actual number of inhabi- tants. This fault 18 to be attrivated not to the Census Bareau, or to the enumerators, but partiy to the citizens themselves and portly to the sea- son’appotated by the Legislature for tne taking of the census. Itisordered by the act of 1855 that the census be taken in the month of | Jane and the time canoot be extended. This, aos far as New York city is} concerned, Is the very Worst month in the year, as a very great bumoer of families leave the city for | tue sumtoer season inJaone. Certain provisions are made lu the blagks upoa whicn the revurns are recorded ty meet such contingencies, ous these pr visions are uot adequate io the peed. | Those Who leave tho city ubout this tume do not thing oF care adout The census, and jeave no in- formation vehind them c ncerning tueir where- abouts or tae polats oo whicu it is necessary to uestion tiem. Jadge Tncker said, 10 view of the act that several of the enumeratora oad com. plained that they would not be able to get through tueir Work inthe allvtted time, he haa written to the Secretary of State to get the time | extended, 1/ possible, bu: the Secretiry had re- plied that !t Was not to uis power to do so. Mr. Willis L. Puine, one of the advisers ap- poiuted vy the Secretary of state, addressed the meeting iG strove to lupress Upon tie minds of the enumerators tne 1mportunce of thorougoly pertorming their duty, a8 upon this depended tne fair pepresentation of New York in toe Legisle ture. Mr. Oliver P, Bucli also addressed the meeting to. the same effect. The enumerators complain taat they experience more imcalty in tue wealthy portions Of (he city than they doin tn pourer districts, The servants in ine nouse: of the former are frequentiy impertinent, aud eral inétauces were reportea of in teligent citizeus refusing to auewer aay ingairies at al. ‘dune panaity for such reusal is $50, and in one lcstance 1t has been ea- jorced, The enumerators were advised last eveu- tog that im the event of meetiag with such dim. culties the best plan would ve to snow the law oD the suoject, If Was compiaimed, also, that the cinss of ingalries to be made by the enamerators | is Unnecessarily eXtenaed.
