The Morristown Gazette

A late Washington date says the plan of General Walker to complete the tenth census contemplates the reduction of the volume of reports upon special topics from 11,000 to about 8,000 pages. General Walker adds that all reports not already printed are in a fair state of progress. Acting Superintendent Seaton is the third chief clerk prostrated. One is dead, another has gone South and the third is upon the most distressing disability. General Walker resumes charge of the census, and if granted the necessary money, says he will bring the whole business to a close with the current calendar year. The expense of this census will be about 9 cents per head of population against 9 cents in the ninth census. An appropriation of $200,000 will be enough to complete the work.
