Section 1 provides that all mail matter received by the Census Bureau shall. upon the use of official envelopes. be transported free through the postoffice. As the law now stands. it is only the matter whicl goes out from the Census Office which is transported free. The second section provides that there shall be a change of schedules in this respect. that an inquiry shall not be made as to whether foreignborn inhabitants are naturalized citizens or remain aliens. The reason for that is that the experience heretofore had shows that the returns are extremely unsatisfactory. for the reason that naturalization is frequently a judicial question. and cannot be determined readily by those who give information as to the number of persons in the house. The next provision is that the returns for the fiscal year of certain railroad and other companies shall be made as of the date next nearest to the 1st of Juno. 1880. and the reason for that provision is that many of the fiscal years of corporations end in July. August. and September and as the law now stands. the particulars reported would only relate really to the second year before that in which the census is taken.
