Mrs. Paftterson will have the Fourth ward, east of Jackson and south of Church. The colored enumerators for the3e wards, who will count the colorod population only, have already been mentioned. Thus begins the taking of the thir teenth national census.

The law provides that the enumer ation shall begin on t^ie 15th, hut It Is not so peremptory about the commencing as the closing time, end intimations have been received that In Instances the work may be post poned until Saturday.

The enumeration will cover all of the forty-five states and two territo ries of the union proper and wall and Porto Rico.
