A Perpetual Census.
New York Sun.
Cenoral Walker writes to a Boston newspa
per to Bay that fully nluo tenths ot tha work
on tho census of 1880 will bo finished by Uo
first of next July. Limits llxod In adrauTo
by tho Census Bureau, as regards both tlmo
and est endtture, ha 0 the remarkable qual
Ity ot recodlng about as rapidly as thoy nro
approached. Until tha machlno actually

lis wheels nro to stop grinding out figures
forriSfcOuntll tho tlmo comes to bogln on
figures for 1SOO.
Tho result ot a too ambitious scheme and
of too olaborato methods Is that many ot tho
statistics ot this census, whllo historically
.valuable, aro worth for tho purposes ot tho
present about as much as tbo tables In a
three year old almanac. Thoro aro soarcoly
any facts in tho census returns that aro 11 )l
Interesting, but that Is no reason tor collect
lne and nubllshlns them at tho national ox-
penso. 'Iho constitutional objoct ot tho ouu
moratton ovory ton yoars is simply to nuord
a oasis lor tno apportionment ut iiunrusuui

Tho figure crazed poeplo who hang about
the outskirts ot tholederal Covornmout aro

consolldato tho present Census Bureau with
tho so callod Bureau of Statistics, and to Hoop
tbo machlno a going year In and yoar out.

On Sunday night In St. Augustine an
emouto occurrod that may result In the dis
missal from tho United States Navy of oalcers
Itcovisund Tappan of tbo U. S. steamship
Tallapoosa. As nearly ns wo can gnthor tno
facts Irom tho Bnuictsot Information at our
command, two officers of the Tallapoosa, bear
ing tbo nbovo names, went nshoto on Sunday
night, and In n stato ut seml-lntoxlatlon,
wero grossly discourteous t3 two lallos,
talking on or noar Iho Plaza. Xhe lilies
wero near relatives ot Messrs. I. Oanova
nnd Merey Irwin, ot St, Augustine,
rho first ot thoso was noar
enough to tho parties to hoar the offonslvo
remark. Ho Immediately challougel tho
officer to know what hojsald. Tho latter
repeated his remark, whoa Ganiva plucatly
pitched Into both ot thorn, anl but tor ln
lntcrfercnco of bystandora would havo gottou
tho best ot tho light. The officers retired to
their hotel, nnd shortly afterward Mr. Irwin
bearing of tha affair, ropahed thither, mil
personally Invited Ihemout for a second dif
ficulty. This cballongo they, ot coarse,
dccltnoH. 80 far as wo can learn, tmbtla
sentiment Is Bit strongly against tho ntwil
officers, nnd many goo I people ot Si. Vujus
tlno applauded tho action ot Oanova. 1110 af
fair created considerable oxcltomont for a
lime. Tbo officers wero up ou Monday boforo
Sccretarj Chandler and Commander Kollogg,
ot tho Tallapoosa, and no doclslon had been
reached on Mondny noon. It Is probable tho
ofilcors will ho either suspended or dismissed.
Later. Information ehows that Ofilcor lap
pan was not concerned In tho affair. Iloevos
was engaged In it. Tho second ootoer n nanio
Is not lu our possession. JasUonillte llaa'u.
A reporter of The Critic nskod Secre
tary Chandler this morning If lie was aware

whilont Jacksonaillo ho was Informolby
Commander Kellogg that thoro wai a
rumor to tho cllcct that Rcevesnnd Toppan

gated tho matter. Tho oilicors woro
brought before him, and thoy dcnie.lth.it
thoy had insulted any ladles whatover,
and, In fact, said they had
not that day seen any lad!o3.
They did not deny that thoy had boon as
saulted by Canoaa; but said that it was
evidently ncaso of mistaken identity on
Canoaa's part, or olso it was a malicious
assault. Tho Secretary said that while at
Jacksonville ho was at all times accessible
to tho parties v ho were alleged to havo been
aggrieved, but that no direct charges wero
made to cither himself or Commander
Kellogg.

Hi. Clnlr Luckctt lu Trouble.
St. Clair Luckctt, tho colored thief who
is turning white, was charged in tho Pollco
Court to day with breaking into tho storo
of Mrs. Uaulckc, on West street. Tho caso
hung upon a partial indcntlficatton of tho
man by a witness who had scon tho burglar
from a second story window nt midnight,
and who reported to tho pollco that ho
believed, but could not swear, that Luckett
was tho man. Judge Sucll said that I.uck
ett's face was against him a man vv Ith one
black car and ono whito one, and black,
whito and biovvu spots on his cheeks was
easily identified, nnd ho would hold tho
prisoner for tho Grand Jury, in default of

ho got into a gamo of bagalcllo nnd a theo
logical discussion. Tho debato became

renter named Georgo W. Roth, who upheld
tho merits of dlQcrcut creeds, nnd finally
Bender went out nnd "walked into tho
street to wait for a car.
Young Roth camo out shortly afterward
and asked Bender if bo was tho man who
had had so d d much to say about religion
Bender acknowledged that ho had boon
in a dispute and Roth ronowed tho
discussion nnd n quarrel sprang up.
Tho men wero both slightly undor tho
lnlluenco of liquor, and promptly camo to
blows, Bender alleging that Roth kicked
him first, nnd Roth claiming that Bender
assaulted him. After a sovcro strugglu In
which both men tuslcd for possession of tho
spade, Bender raised it and struck Roth a
tremendous blow, severing nrtcrios on his
head and wrist, and iulllctlug very sovcro
injuries.
Bender surrendered himself to somo citi

Roth.
Bender will claim self defenso and al

striko him with tho spado, and would
havo brained htm if ho had not struck first.

Biriin, April 21 Tho Aorta Gumma
Gazette to day, In an aitlclo which tho cor
respondent of thu United Press says thoro
Is reason to beliovo was directly inspired
by Pilnco Bismarck, makes a verysavago
attack ujon tho policy of tho Unltod Statea
Gov eminent In protecting tho Interests of
tho American hog rilscr3. Tho OimIWj
article goes beyond tho ordinary limits of
journalism, and accuses tho United Htatos
of attempting to Imltato tho conduct of
England In forcing opium Into China.
'Iho writer asserts that tho recent pro
hibition of tho importation of Ajncrlcau
pork into Germany was nn economic sani
tary imastuo which tho German govern
ment vv as com t clled to tako for tho purpose
of protecting her subjects from pbyslc.ll
dlsenso nnd degeneration much worsa than
tho inforccd Introduction ot opium cutallod
uton tbo Chinese.
Iho (mtzette also makes nn attack unou
tho United States Minister- at Berlin, Mr.
A. A. Sargent, and accuses him of having
done all in his power to iudtico his Govern
ment lo rctallato upon Germany by pro
hibiting tbo importation into tho United
States of all German products possible to
procure elsewhere, until by reason of tho
consequent loss of trado and rovcnuo tho
German Government should bo compelled
to succumb and withdraw all opposition to
tho freo introduction into Germany of all
American hogs and hog products.
Iho paper insinuates that .Minister Sir
pent has been doing this secretly and pro
feses to hav 0 been entirely Ignorant of tho
presence in Berlin of such a powerful oncniy
of German interests until tho discovery was
mado upon tho arrival of certain American
journals containing tho Minister's advices
to his Government.
Tho Gazette coming to specifications statos
that tho German Commercial-Journal, Hand'
le Zctlunn, published in Now York city, in
its issuo of March 10, 1833ipublishcd an ar
ticlo signed by Minister Sargent, In which
ho boldly advocates such a system of retali

Tho correspondent of tho United Prns.3
was assured, at tho olhco of tho American
Minister, thnt Mr. Sargent had never
written any such article as that attributed
to him, and that tho only production upou
tho subcct to which his namo would havo
been appended, must havo bcou his la?t
report to tho American Stato Departmont,
which was mailed from Berlin on January
1 last.
Ibis item, ns claimed, contained nothing
concerning retaliation, but was solely a re
port mado up mainly of oxtracts of edi
torials in tho German press going to show
that there wa3 no basis for any restrictions
upon tho importation into Germany of
American poik on tho ground of its infec
tion with trichina?, and that tho best In

entire mov etnent against American pork was
purely selfish and contributed by thoso
dealers in German pork whowcrocompollod

tho modification of tho Clayton-Rulwor

ship. Tho reply of England s Foreign
Secretary is a carclully-drawu aud ablo
document, and bears dato December 20,
1882 Tho strongest part of tho note Is
probably tho reply to tho accusations
against Great Britain In tho Honduras
matter, and hero ho quotes bodily tho noto
of John M Claylon, tlio then Secretary of
State, dated July 1, lb30, and tho Bulwer
noto of tho samo dato as ontiroly justifying
tho policy of Her Majesty's Government.
In a general way ho claims that there has
been no treaty violation or ovasionbytho
British Government, and that tho treaty
has never been invalidated and that there is
no necessity for renew ing any of Its provis
ions There might, however, bo advantages
in defining by agreement tho distance from
each end of tho proposed Panama Canal
within which no hostilities should bo per
mitted by belligerents, In order to main
tain tho entire freedom of tho canal, al
though any arrangement would bo at pres
