Iii the foregoing six ue-titui- the num
ber of persons m each family is ob
tained, and strictly speaking, the census
of population is theie. Hut it is desira
ble that the profession, occupation or
trade of each person, male m female,
shad be obtained, an 1 to this end a ques
tion concerning this do-idcratuui will 'e
put. If the person is a lawyer, a shop
keeper or a carpenter, Le simply states
the fact for record. Where there is no
Lu-iness the auv.ver is "none," except in
ct-es where -ome aristocratic individual
desi-es to infoiiu tLe (Jovernmeiit that
he is a '"gentleman." which means every -thini:,
fiom the per.-on who lives on the
income ar simr from his property t.) one
who sp. nd- Lis time in li'htintr the tiger.
Seiiou ly, however, it bcin desirable to
it-arn what t lie various occii.itions of
tlie population are, this inquiry should
be fuily answered.
RKAl. AM) PKUStlN'AL P5H"PE!tTY.
Tlie eiiihtli and ninth inquiries refer
to the value of real estate and personal
property owned by each person not the
value assessed by Governnteut for taxes,
but the value put upon Mich property
either by the owner him-cif or by the
m irk t. For example : a person may
own a hou-e and lot woilh 5' 1 ,0. U. lie
should report the value at the first named
tin u res to the censm takers, so titat it
may be ascertained what was the ca.-h
value of uli t he real and person tl prop
erty in the county, State and throughout
the Republic on the 1st of June of the
present year.
PLACE lit' KlftTir, PAKF.XTAOE, AC.
The next inquiry of impo. tanet: is tlie
tenth, which requires the place of birth
of ca.-h person: if a native of the Lui
ted St.res. the name of the State or
Terr tory must be given; if of loreii'ti
birth, tlie name of the country in which
born. Inquiries eleven to seventeen, in
schedule one, relate to parental, social,
ai.d educational matters. The eleventh
and twelfth ret 1 '.lire Uid ml
repine U.d m! -mation j
whether the parents of the person were
of foreign biah, and are under two lines,
one being for the father ari l the other
for the mother, so that in eases whore
one parent was born, say in J''urope, and
lite other was u native, ihe fact may be
recorded appropriately. Wheie the per
son w is b'-rn within the year the mouth
sliou.'i lie given 'January, t el.. nary

r io inquiry tiurteen, an 1
wiihiii the J'var, the
month when tins interest trig event touii
place should al.-o be stated. In tliiscui
neetion, we .would call attention to what
eeeiu- to t.e an omission in thi.-schedule.
No inquiry it ma le as to the so'-i;d co;i
ditiou "f the person, except wheie he or
she has been married within the year.
This is an important fact to ascertain.
When the last cciius was taken, ail per
son- were required to state whether they
were single, manied, or widowed.
Inquiries, tifteen, .sixteen and seventeen
refer to attendance at school within the
year and to want of educational attain
ments, as whether the person cannot
Iceland canooi write Inquiry eighteen
is whether the per-on isdeaf and du i.b,
blind, insane, i.ii.'tic, to which we trust
there wiil be a negative an-wer.
CO.NSl ITlTI'i.NAl. KELATION-S.
Under ibis head are the nineteenth
and twentieth inquiries whieii .onciude
all to be .ui-we cd in schedule one. Tiie
one requires inl'o; n: atloii legarding the
male citizens of the I'nitcd States of '21
Vear.s oi age an J upward. This is a very
prop-.-r inquiry as it enables the Govern
ment to ascertain the voting population
of the republic at the present time, ari l,
a regards New V01 k city in particular,
will .-et at rest tlie charges of f.aud in
connection wi; h our eeectiou. Ttie per
tinence of the twentieth and hi inquiry
is not so apparent. It requires inl'ornia
tion regarding "-tia'.e citizens of tlie
United States ef '21 years nl' age ari l Hp
win!, who-e right to vote is denied or
ab.ilged on other gioun ls than relK'I
L.iu or other crime." 'J his doubtless in
cludes p-r-tuis living in States where a
property or educational quaulieauou is
deman led by their constitutions, and
pcr.sons incapacitated by reason 01 an
incuts, such as madness, fcc.. and in this
respect is proper. It woulJ also be in-
tcresting and important t-o learn how
many persons arc denied the right to
vote
rote liecause of - "icbcLion or other
crime.
Qt ESTIONS NOT TO T.E ASKED OR To
WHICH THE ANSWERS ARE OPTtoSAL.
It seeu.s, from a note at the top of
Schedule 1, that .the itiouiries relating to
profession, occupation or trade, ami to
. ..: 1 : i i...
educational attainments "are not to le
asked in respect to infants.' It would
also seem to be optional to persons
whether to state if their parents were of
foreign birth, if they attended school
within the year, it they can read or
write, and what their constitutional rela-
tions aie, because the note states that
the-e inquiries are to lie an-we red by an
affirmative mark, as . if at all We
may, however be in error, and, as refusal
to give the imonnatioii involves a heavy
fine, we would advise everybody to rep'y
to all the inquiries without exception.
VITAL STATISTICS;.
Schedule No. - is devoted solely to a
list of persons who died during the year
ending June 1, 1 S7t. A- in the fir.-t !
M-hedale. tlie number of the family is
given; then fi!o-s the name of every
person who died during the year whose
place of abode at the time of death was

or native, naming the Stnte Territory or
foreign country; the nativity of the pa
rents, the month in which the psrson
died, the proi'e-sion, occupation and
trade, and tlie disease or cau-e of death.
This table will prove id great value to
medical men ami to science in general.
The .inquiries are simple and will be
readily answered, and being divested of
the ft.rm-.dahl.! disquisitions on ' zyuiot
ics" which l.'r. Harris used to indulge in
weekly, will prove a source of much inte
rest and instruction to all concerned in
the health of our population.
VitounmoNs ok aukiccltcre.
The third schedu e is devoted to the
rural districts and is full of inquirie- of
importance. It requires the name of
the a-ent, owner, or manager of the
pro'erry, the number of aces of im
proved land, and the namber of acres of
woodland, and other unimproved. Next
in order, inquiry is made of the present

By way of ascertaining the expenses in
curred in working each farm, inquiry is
me.de of the total amount of wages paid

have been answered, the estimated value
of all farm production, including letter
mcnts and additions to stock, must I c
given in dollars. For the purpose of
enabling the reader to clearly un Jcr.st.--.nd
how the third schedide is to be filled up,
we .-ubjoin the following table. It us

the capital, whether real or persona! or
Loth, invested in ihe business. Fn ler

employed, including inale.-above 1 n years,
Tcu.-.tit's above I' years and ci.iidren and
youth ; also the total amount paid in wa

SOtTAI. STATU S.
Seoudu'e o is devoted to social states,
and is of great importance as showing the
financial, moral an J intellectual prog. ess
.of the "u-ople. It begins by inquiring
I of the valuation of real and personal

it is necessary to staie their names and

Sir i-
Froin the Chicago Ucpub'ican.
The pro.-iccts now are tint we are
soon to h tve a verv great. In liait pow
wow at Washington. Several noble red
men are already at
.1 : . .1
whom we notice tlie name of Snorted
. ' .
Tail, or, after the style of white men who
go to Washington, Hou."Spotted
Tail. He is accompanied by" several
other noble red men who have won re
nown by butchering our frontier settlers.
They are strutting about Washington in
fancy bree. h-clouts, and armed with re
volvers of tho best pattern. Hon. Bed
Cloud, chief of the Sioux, accompanied
by twenty "warriors," is also on his way
to Washington. As these "warriors"
have achieved their notoriety by bloody
deeds, it is fair to presume that they
have done their share of scalping and
murdering defenseless settlers, ami that
they have on Indian festive occasions
adorned themselves with their scalps
I'o-sibly they wiil come into the presence
of the "Great Father" in those i Jentie il
adornments. Those scalps dangling at
their belts would show that great in.ius
tiee has been done to the Iiuians; f.ir,
unless they had in omf way been an
noyed, they never would have scalped
white settlers, and worn their scalps as
ornaments. ..Tlie pistols, guns and knives
that these poor innocent red men carry
in the streets of Washington are also in
dicative of" injustice to them; for, why
sh'oild the poor Indians otherwise go
armed in the streets of our capital? No
other plenipotentiaries are obliged to go
armed in Washington; this conclusively
shows that the Indian has been treated
with cross injustice by our Government.
The coming pow-wow inii-t light all
these matters. They must be talked
over bv the Great Father. Hon. Spotted
Tail and Hon. Bed Clou 1, and the other
Hon. Indians who are a part of this
"I,o" delegation. If pa-t precedents
should bt; followed, the Great Fat her will
give the noble red men more guns, more
pistols and more knives, on condition
that they will butcher no more white
peo le on the borders, providing the
white people do not go near the borders.
VI If It tll.l.'O tl-AkIt Ulll
lies of arms and
ammunition, the Hon. Indians will re
turn to tlie scenes of their hunting,
their scalping, and their outrages
upon white women, the wives
aod (lav.-liters of the settlers. This
mode of setiling the I ndiauqucstinn may
not sent! a thrill of satisfaction through
the hearts of the settlers on the Indian
borders; but what of that ? They have
only to be just to the poor red man. and
send him presents, and allow him to steal
their caltie and horses, and when be
comes along set the lesl in the house be
fore hi 111. He i- ea-ily satisfied- All he
wants is what a sett'er ha- ; he only takes
scalps when a man's tit her possessions
sue in-u l'i -ie.it to"s,u,iy h m. It is we I,
then, for th? sett'ers to understand that
the poor Indian may sometimes be per
suad'-d to foiego 1 he scalps :n a whole
finiily. by simply turning over to him
the entire property, real an 1 oersonal.
How much more peaceable I his i -than to
go and kill the poor red man. It amounts
to a comfortable living 'for the "nobie
savage," not being obliged to work he
111! lit-.' -Tlji iiv, 11 ru j'j
ha
am;
to time to reflect on thogoodni
ot tl.e Great ."-pint 111 thus matting the
white nwio so u-ei'-J for his support. By
a long course of such tieatmeur of the
red men of our Western Territories, they
would come to Ie as peaceable as are the
Indians in Canada. Our white st-nlers
might hope that .-uch chiefs as the Hon.
Spot al Tail and Hon. Red Cloud wou.d
consent to matrimonial alliances between
their Focahoiitascs and our Captain
Smiths on the borders, who are always
1.
on the point of having, thei
I,
;d
scalped, if not broken, by the Indi 111
'"braves." How much more comfortable
it would be tit marry 1 'riiicc.-s Spotted
Tail than to be scalped by the lion.
Spotted Tail. This point will no doubt
lie discussed at the coming po.v-wow in
Wa-hingtoii, and may be made a pow
erful element in the peaceable settle
ment of all our Indian diificulf ies.
The poor, innocent red men scalp each
other when there are no white settlers to
scalp. How can they do such things on
the principles of 1 he Indian Fence Com
mission? Vet they do, and the Feace
Commission never lecture them on tlie
error of their ways. They sen 1 no mis
sionaries among them in time of Indian
wars, to remind them that they an: the
I toor Indians who "see Go.l in lite cloud
and hear Him in the wind," and they al
low them to butcher each other to ex
termination without going among them
from their head quarters in the Mat, or
sen j'.ug them -o much as a tract or a
picture id William iVnii under the big
elm. But let a white ,-ettle:-, or a miner,
or Gen. Sheridan send one of them to the
happy hunting-grounds, and the Fence
Commission are immedl.teiy 10 a higli
pesstiie state of work. Lee? ues, per
ambulating the Jv.istcrn and Middle
States, dwell on tlie injustice of the
white lu.tn to the poor red i:.::ti. Solemn
essays are circulated, l;tudit-.u the itooiLty
t.if tlie Indians, an 1 the cruel wrong th it
has been done to them i.i tbiving tliui
from th! soil. This, list.- till a family or
a whole neighborhood are ma-.-acrt e l by
these (iod-seeiiig iii the-wind demons.
If the Commission say anything at all, it
is that the poor Indian has been bad y
used, a id the-e things are. after a I. no
more than white peoj.'e de-vrve. This
is, substatirial'y, our "indian policy" as
cariied out, and to it may be attributed
the horrible Indian massacres which
have di-graced our Government and si ill
disgiat-e it. And now, liie-o savage-
some of them recking with the b;oo-d ot'
innocent woiiicu and el;'.! ben are to be
ushered in'o the presence of our Chief
.Magistrate to t.i.tain a new lease for the
c-ouiiuissio'i of their atroc.tios. But tins
is a great and noble government, an 1 cm
