ENUMERATION IN 1883.
Mr. Chandler's bill [H. R. 235] concerning the enumeration of male inhabitants over the age of twenty-one years [the next enumeration to be in 1883 and every six years thereafter], was read the third time.
Mr. CHANDLER said the old statute contains a long provision requiring the enumeration of white males, and in 1877 there was a law passed for the enumeration of white people. This bill combines both of those acts, using almost the same words, only combining both races under one bill.
The bill passed--yeas, 74; nays, 3.
Then the House adjourned.
