WjumiiKmnr. January' 22.—The joint
committee on the ceniua, rone is ting of Sena
tors Morrill. Matthews and Reman, and
Representative* Cox (N. Y.J. Mills and Ry
an. Md a meeting yesterday, and after a
full discussion adopted all the sections of
the hill recently introduced in the house hy
Mr. Cox. except one. They went over each
section in detail, and ma<lc several modi loca
tion*. htif all the material provision* of the
Cam bill were retained. The economic fea
ture of the Utter hill, dispensing with the
two copies of schedules heretofore required,
was readily adopted. These two copies
were rmufred to tie made and filed in the
office of the county clerk* ami that of tlie
secretary of state of states and territories
which necessitated the double copying of
the entire census work. The Co* bill re-
«iuire**tlie original schedule to be sent to
Washington, and it i* estimated that the
saving that will he effected in dis|ien*ing
with this copying will amount to $220.00(1.
Tlii* saving. it is proposed, shall
he used in a subvention to flie
•fates; or. ^ more plainly, an amount
equal to fifty j»er cent, of the cost of the fed
eral census is fo"be paid in the state* to aid
and ennMirage them Pi take a census every
five years after the federal census, on the
plan and schedule* of tlie latter. This will
give more frequency to the census, and will
assist the government in it* work by en
abling cmnparianoa to lie made with that of
the state*. This provision was approved by
the joint committee. Tlie other modifica
tions were only in minor detail*. Under
this bill, the hulk of the work ami the diffi
cult part* «*f it are to lie done bv special
agents win* must l»e experts, and their |*»v
Is to lie fixed according to their service. Ail
tlie conn*en*ntkhi islimite l carefully, and
much discretion i* given to the interior de
partment a* to the pay of officers, which is
to I** regulated according to their actuai
service. The joint committee did not de
cide what power shall have the appoint
ment. of tlie supervisor*-, who are to number
one hundred and fifty and have authority
to appoint the enumerators. The Cox hiil
gives the appointment of supervisor* to
governors of states. Senator Morrill wants
to give this appointing power to the Inte
rior department. AH tne committee agree
in dispensing with the marshal*. It was
suggested that, H-* the census officers will do
their work during the year of the presiden
tial campaign, it would he wise to have the
appointments free from federal and central
control. Mr. Go* contended that as the fed
eral i<atmi ago is already enormous and
ilangerous. it would neither he wise nor just
t«» increase it in this matter; that as the
governor* of states ore nearly equally
divided between the two |N»rtie*. and a* the
special agents and exj«crts are to he named
by the superintendent, who ia a federal ap
pointee. his (fVix’s) plan was the most equi
table, and af least not unfavorable to tlie
party in power at Washington, and was as
near non-partisan a* any that could lie de
vised. Senator Morrill held that as the in
ferior department had charge of the taking
of the census, tlie jmwer to ap
point it* agent ought to he given it. The re-
jily to this was that the su|>ervision by the
interior department might be exercised just
a* well, even to the removal of incompe
tent*, altltough the source of appointment
was In the statca; that the interior depart
ment lias tlie selection of those who do
moat of the work, the special agents, and
they will doubtless Is* of the party domi
nan't in Washington. Should the two com
mittees fail to agree on this point, each will
introduce a bill to carry out its idea, and the
matter will be finally settled in conferem
Immediately after the reading of the
journal. Mr 1'otter. of New York, called up
for action tlie resolution presented by him
yesterday, directing the committee on the
Investigation of the election frauds to in
quire into the “cipher dispatches.” and the
appropriating of ten thousand dollars to de
fray tlie expense* of such inquiry.
Sir. Potter opened the discussion
resolution, saying that lin offered it because
he jraa instrmuedjo do so. He spoke feel
ingly concerning the imputations Which
had lieen attributed to him that he desired
to prevent the investigation of the cipher
telegram*.
Mr. Butler (Mass.) opposed the resolution
on the ground that congress had no juris

anybody, and should not take )»art in the

“WA»T TO <rO HOME.”
While this is being done in North Geor
gia, wc hear the constant wails from Texas,
of Georgians, who having gone there ore
anxious to get home again. They are broken
down in health and spirits, worn out'and
poverty-stricken, heart-sore and weary. It
is tlie refinement of cruelty to keep them
there away from home and friends through
a high passenger tariff. We met one of these
returned prodigals a few days since, who
was tlie niont woe-begone man that lias sad
dened our vision for years. He said: “There
are thousand* of Georgians in Texas wiio
would give their right arms to get hack to
their old Itomes. The high price of return-
tickets keeps them there. If the rates out
of Texa* were put to-morrow at tlie same
figures a* the rates into Texa*. the trains
would not hold the people for the next
month that would rush out of that state.

A Romantic Record.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
. The career of Janie* Shields for tlie third
time a successful candidate for the position
of United States senator, reads like a chap
ter of wild romance. There is nothing like
it in the history of this country. Without
exceptional advantages or abilities of any
kind, he has gained a brilliant record a* a
soldier, fair fame a* a politician, and a fine
reputation as an honest man and |tatriotic
citizen. His public life, beginning in 1840,
covers the most momentous period of our
national existence. He ha* outlived all his
more famous friends and associates of the
Mexican war period, and now goes back to
haunt, like a ghost, the halls in which, as a
senator, he mingled on terms of fellowship
with Webster, Olay, Calhoun, Ben
ton, Cass, Seward, Chase, Douglas and Tom
Corwin. When a young man, struggling
with poverty and law, in Illinois, he was
the intimate friend of Douglas and Lincoln.
He ha* seen all these great men jmss away,
full of honors if not of vea it, and now returns
to thescenesof their triumphs, clothed with
a dignity any of them might have envied.
It may lie said of him. in the words of Dr.
Johnson:
Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage.
But this is not wholly true. Mr. Shield:
is not an old man. Born tn 1810, he i* six
years _ younger than Lord Beaconsfield,
twelve years younger than that wiliest of
living diplomats, Gortachakoff, thirteen
years younger than Kaiser Wilhelm, two
years younger than Marshal MacMahon,
and but five years the senior of the man of
blood and iron.
He seem* ohl because of (lie extent and
variety of hi* public life. He t«ntk kindly
to politics while vet a mere boy. He was
state auditor of Illinois in 1840*. Six years
later, though by no means a distinguished
lawyer, he was elected to tlie supreme
bench of tlie state. Under President Polk
he'was appointed land conmiisaioner. He
left this position to take command of the
Illinois volunteers in the Mexican war, wil*
tlie commission of brigadier-general. As
soldier he was even luckier than as a civil
officeholder. Without any marked capacity
for command, lie won great renown as a
lighter. His personal bravery was only equal
ed by his tenacity of life At Corro
Gordo lie was shot through the body
while cliurging a battery. A grape-shot tore
through his right lung and passed out near
his spine. The snrgeons gave him up, and
liis death was reported. Yet in ten weeks
he was again at the head of his brigade, as
ready for a fight or a frolic as any man in the
army. At Chapultepec he was wounded
again. But he held a charmed life, and
came out of the war covered with scars and
glory. He was not a creat gefieral in any
sense of the word, but Tie wns a fearless and
intrepid warrior. He never asked his men
to go where he feared to venture. With
him the post of duty was the front of battle
always.
In a fit of enthusiasm, the people of Illi
nois made him the colleague of Stephen A.
Douglas in the United States senate in 1848.
It is no injustice to him to say tliat he never

who, liaving lodged at certaiu cabin* at
night, disappeared the next day, and were
never heard of again. Their friends knew
not where to inquire for them. Dead men,
buried in Breathitt, tell no tales. The place
is so cut off from the rest of the civilization,
or rather fiom civilization, that it is a safe
retreat for fugitives of every kind. I heard
recently of a young lawyer who, having been
indicted by the United .States court, went
to Breathitt where he lived for three vears
a*safe from pursuit as if lie was in Africa.
Bad men could find no safer place in which
to perpetrate deeds of wickedness. It is es
timated. from fact* that have recently been
put in the possession of the law officers, that
10 murders were committed in Breathitt
during the war and twenty-six since the war
and np to the present time, making a total
of forty-five; while the men who have been
badly wounded, either in open fight or at
the hands of the assassin, number thirty.
Horrible as this record is. not one man lias
been punished for any of these crimes. Liv
ing in such impunity it is no wonder tliat
they defied the law as too weak to cope with
them. iVith the assistance of the troop*
the following have been arrested and placed
in jail: Jack, Jerry and Alfred Little. Jason

all took pari in the last riot, and
are indicted for the murder of Judge Bur

Said I: “Choate, this is sheer nonsense.
I’ll tell von what the matter is. You are
afraid of Cushing.”
“So I am,” was the reply, “and I am not
ashamed to own it, either.”
“Well, well,” said I; “this is pretty good.

“Mr. Gerrish. I will tell vou. I am afraid

In the afternoon Cuvhlag came into the

hat was the matter to-day? Why don’
you insist on trying that case?”
“Oh!” he replied, “the weather is too
warm, and we have much to attended
and I didn’t care to hurry matters.”
“Now, Cushing, be honest: were you
a little afraid of Choate?”
“Well, Gerrish. to be candid about it,
was. Are you satisfied now?"
I then inquired what he feared Choate
for. “Do you think,” said I, “that *
knows any more law than you do?”
“No. air, I don’t,” was the answer; “but

did anything to distinguish himself in that
body. Always a democrat, he stood with
his party on all questions; his speeches, if
made any, have been long since forgot
ten. When his term expired he was not
returned. But he was a horn office-holder,
and we next find him a resident of the
young state of Minnesota, and a candidate
fo** United States senator. He was electrd
1857, one of the first two senator*
elected, and drew the short term.
He served for two years, and after his re
tirement, he took up his residence in Cali
fornia. His record in the late war is familiar
all. In the valley of the Shenandoah he
had the honor of defeating 8tonewall Jack-
son, though tbe yictory was of brief dura
tion. Too war-broken for active duty, he
retired from the command of the army of
West Virginia, and was sent by President
Lincoln to California, where he remained
till the close of the war, when he came east
and bought a farm in Carroll county, Mis
souri.
Through all he remained honest and poor.
Indeed, these qualities seem as natural to
him as his physical bravery and tenacity of
life. Few men could have survived such
wounds as he received at Mexico, and as few
would have let his opportunities for amass
ing wealth slip bv unimproved. In 1874
he enjoyed the duoiotis honor of member
ship in the state legislature. His political t
resurrection at this time is due in a large plied witii.

F. Butler to secure his election as door
