Sir : I have the honor to present a statement giving tlie population of the several states and territories of the United States as finally determined. The total dilfers by 141,710 from that contained in the report of this oflice under date of October 28, 1890. This change is due to the cor¬ rections of the errors of what is termed the first or rough count and the additions of names ascertained to have been omitted from the enumeration.

While the rapid increase of population adds greatly to the work of taking the census, improved communication, division of labor, and more enlightened methods make it possible not only to secure greater accurac}^ than before, but to obtain results much quicker. For ex" ample, in 1850 the enumeration commenced June 1, but the first returns were not received until August 29 of that year, and the final returns (from California) were not received until February 17, 1852, exactly one year, eight months and seventeen days after the commencement of the enumeration. As an illustration of the advance in means of communication between the states since that time, I may mention the fact that on the 21st of August, 1890, exactly two months and nine¬ teen da 3 ’s after the date of commencement of enumeration, the official returns by counties and precincts of the state of Washington were telegraphed b}^ tliis office to the governor, for the use of the state legislature, then convening, for the purpose of apportioning repre¬ sentation in that body. October 20 the population of all the Pacific states, California, Oregon, and Washington, had been an¬ nounced. Xo official statement apjiears in the population volume of the Eighth Census of the dates when returns were received. In 1870 the enumeration was nearl}" completed January 9,1871, but not actually so until August 23 of that 3 ’ear, because the last schedules were not re¬ ceived from the enumerators until that time, more than a ^-ear after the commencement of the enumeration. The Tenth Census was practically" completed March 4, 1881, the final official count folloAving soon there¬ after. The last returns of the Eleventh Census received at this ofiiee were from the first supervisor’s district of Florida, Xovember 10. These returns were received by the supervisor October 21, a count of 6 the schedules made by him. and the result telegi’aphed to the office on the same date. The delay in reaching this office was caused by the package being improper!}^ addressed. The s}"stem adopted of register¬ ing and checking each package of returns has proved to be so complete and satisfactory, and the work of the Post Office Department has been so efficientl 3 ^ performed, that the schedules were sent by fifty thousand enumerators from as many districts, covering the entire country, to the 175 supervisors, and from the supervisors to the Census Office at Washington, with the loss of but a single sub-district. This package (No. 123a, Second Supervisor’s District, Kentucky) was mailed August 9, and was said to have reached Washington August 13, but there is no record of such package ever having been received. The final delay of a week in announcing the population was caused by complications in the second supervisor’s district of Missouri and the third supervisor’s district of Maryland, arising from enumerators’ districts being improperly numbered. The first announcement of population was made June 29, being the population for the District of Columbia, and was followed by the announcement, July 18, of the population of the city of New York, constituting the whole of the first supervisor’s district of the state of New York. On August 6 the first district of Pennsylvania, com¬ prising the city of Philadelphia, was given to the public. During the month of August the first count of the states of Delaware, Idaho, Kliode Island, and Washington was announced; during September, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, Ver¬ mont, and the territories of Arizona and Utah; during October, Ala¬ bama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis¬ sissippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Sovith Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wj^oming, and the territories of New Mexico and Oklahoma. The work of establishing the population of the minor civil divisions of the country is well under way, and a bulletin containing the popu¬ lation of all cities and towns of 8,000 and over is now in the hands of the printer. It Avill be followed shortly by a third bulletin, giving the population for each state by counties, and will be followed later by bulletins presenting the poj)ulation in detail for all civil divisions of whatever size. In addition, bulletins will be issued showing the num- ber of families and dwelling-houses, persons to a dwelling-house, per¬ sons to a family, etc., and as regards area, density of population, and other facts, showing the progress and movements of population. The work of ascertaining the number of persons returned on the enumer¬ ators’ schedules as owning and renting their homes and farms, and whether those owned are free from debt or incumbered by mortgages, together with a separation of the white and colored population of the South, has been commenced, and will be given to the public prior to the commencement of work on the final tabulations.

WALKEK’S LETTER TO IION. S. S. UOX. At the reciuest of the late Hon. S. S. Cox, General Walker, then Superintendent of the Tenth Census, addressed that gentleman the lollovving letter, which is here re¬ printed at the suggestion of Hon. M. H. Dunnell, chairman of the House (xnnmittee on the Plleventh Census, for use of committee : Depar'Oiext of the Interior, Census Officf:, Washington, D. C., January 15, 1881. Dear Sir : In res})onse to your request, 1 would say that I see no correct principle underlying the practice of giving an additional representative to all states having a moiety of the number of inhabitants taken as the divi.sor in determining the numbei of representatives to which each state shall be entitled under the census. In my view, the only logical method is to take at the outset the final number ot represent all's es, tvhich numlier shall be used as a di^■isor in obtaining the ratio of representatives to population. The latio so obtained should be applied in succession to the ]>oi)ulation of each state. This process 'will yield in the aggregate a number some’what less than the number of representatives originally taken. The ditference should be made up by assigning to the states having the largest fractions additional representatives, ^^hen- ever a suflicient number of additional representatives have been assigned, on account of fractions, to make up the total number taken, such assignment should cease. It that number be exceeded, as in the case of the assignment of additional representatives on account of a moiety, the ratio of representation is thereby changed, whether that excess be one or more, a ne\v ratio is determined, and the work has to be done all over again. It miglit easily happen that upon the new ratio another state would be found to luiA'e a fraction in excess of the moiety, and, therefore, entitled upon the same prin¬ ciple to an additional representative. The addition of such a representative, however, giving a ncAv total, 'would again change the ratio, and the ap])lication of that ratio might lind still another state in excess of the moiety, and so on. I inclose a series of tables which atford a practi<‘al illustration of this process. In Table I, I have taken 25 communities, which we may assume to be the counties of a state, named A to W, inclusive, having an aggregate population of 120,000. Taking the total number of lepresentatives at 200, Ave have 1 rei)resentative to every 000 in¬ habitants. Api)lying this ratio in suceession to the population of the several counties, Ave have 190 representatiAcs assigned upon even division, as ai)p('ars in eolumn .5, while there is an aggregate of fractions, shown in column 4, of 0,000. Assigning 10 addi¬ tional representatives according to the highest fractions, Avehave, in column 5, the total 200, the original number of representatives taken. Here, according to my vieAv, the Avork should stop. If, hoAvever, assignments are to be made upon a moiety, we find the county named G receiving an additional representative, its fraction being greater 20 than one-halt of GOO. The nnnil)er of representatives now, however, lias become not 200, blit 201 , and the ratio is no longer 1 to GOO, but 1 to 507. Applying the ratio in succession to the population of the several counties, as in Table II, Ave have an aggre¬ gate number of 192 representatives upon eA'en diA ision, Avith an aggregate of fractions reaching 5,3TG. Assigning 9 additional represcntatiA'cs upon the highest fractions, Ave haA^e the total number 201, the number last tahen, but there still remains one county, U, having a fraction in excess of the moiety. This county, therefore, upon the moiety principle, must receive an additional representative, Avhich, hoAvever, AAOuld make the total number 202, and change the ratio to 1 to 594. Noaa- if G Avas entitled to an addi¬ tional representative, liy reason of having a fraction in excess of the moiety of GOO, Avhich Avas not the number of inhabitants to a representatiA'e, is equally entitled to an additional representatiAe, because it has a fraction in excess of the moiety of 597, Avhieh is the actual number of inhabitants to a representative. lUit if F receiA'es an additional representatiA'e on account of its moiety, then the number of ri'presentatives becomes not 201, but 202, and the ratio becomes 1 to 594. Applying this ratio to the IKipulation of the several states in succession, as shown in Table III, avc have the number of 194 reiiresentatives assigned upon even division. Giving 8 additional rep- resentatiA'es upon the highest fractions, Ave liaA’e the number 202, according to the scheme ; but this still leuAcs one county, Q, having a fraction in exiress of a moiety of 594. Noav, upon tlie moiety principle, (^> has just as good right to luiA'e an additional representative as T^ or G in the instances jireviously taken. If, hoAvever, this claim is to preA'ail, the number of representatives is again changed, namely, to 203, and the ratio is again changed, namely, to 1 to 591 ; a ncAv distribution takes place, as seen in Table IV, and again a claimant for an additional representative appears in I, Avhich has a fraction of 299, being more than one-half the number (591) of inhabitants to a representatiAe. Tlie result of giving I an additional re])resentati\ e is shoAvn in Table V, where, Avitli a total number of 204 representatives, yielding the ratio 1 to 588, there still appeal’s a new county, O, Avhieh claims an additional representative on precisely the same grounds asG, I', (^), or 1, namely, as having a fraction eijual to a moiety of the number of inhabitants to a representatiA e. And so this thing might go on indetinitely. . I see no rational conclusion, therefore, but that the number first taken, through Avhich, as a divisor, to obtain the number of inhabitants for a representative, should be maintained, and so many additional reinesentatiAes, and only so many, be assigned upon fractions as are needed to make uj) the original number. To go beyond this is to lose all hold on any principle governing the matter. Very respectfully, yours, FliANCIS A. WALKER, Superintendent of Census. lion. S. Cox, House of Representatives.
