No. 885) to amend an act entitled "An act to provide for taking the tenth and subsequent censuses." approved March 3. 1829. I will state in one moment the substance of the report. which is in the hands of the Secretary. Section 2 of the bill which was sent from the Senate to the House of Representatives provided that the schedule of returns to be made by the enumerators should omit statistics as to naturalization and also as to the ownership of the public debt. The House disagreed to that section of the bill entirely. but the committee of conference have recommended that the House recede from its disagreement and that an amendment be made to the section providing that the statistics of the ownership of the debt shall be gathered by special agents and experts rather than by the enumerators. Section 6 of the bill as it passed the Senate provided that means should be adopted for the correction of the returns of the enumerators by posting up the lists in certain public places in each district and giving notice to the population. and that the enumerator should be present for the purpose of hearing complaints either as to omissions or other errors.
