tween the Hon. Mr. Wageaman Of the
Stale Senate. and formerly Senator Of the

ball of his antagonist in the feshy part Of
his right thigh, through which il passed
aud buried itself in the left. Mr.. Prieur
was untouched. Judge Wageaman is not

which they deemed it impossible TO settle

Strindiing.-Mr. EpIroR.-Sir:-It is
| a matter Of surprise aud regret, tina, before
now some public aud e%fIicieu, notice has
not becn taken Of the losses and disadvan-
;ages our planters meet Nth in consequence
OF frauds in packing kentucky Bagsiug
and Rope. II is a grea, snd crying evil,
well known 10 every planter. and if there
be q remedy within our reach most assur-
eddy it ough, to be applied. ] call to wit
ness every farmer or overseer, who has
been in ihe habit Of witnessing the unpack-
ing of tagging and rope al the Gin, if il is
NOT a rare thing TO fluid a coil Of rope from
Kentucky fairly packed? have moi open-
ed a coilof ropc this year Thar was not
fraudcniiy packed? The outside is good,
hni The inside. - mach of i, made of short
pieces and miserable stuff that canne, be
used. repeat, that IT'S . fhfc thi6sTG
find q coil Of kentucky rope not falsely
packed. The rope I have used this year,
although ! have selected the best | coald
6ud. has taken II pounds 10 the bale, which
is a loss Of abou, 25 per cent. In baggipg
the loss, By false packing, is almost as
uniform though generally not so great as
in rope. According 10 my experience, the
loss IN baseing, by false measuring, hollow
end pieces aud thin slazy cloth in The in
side, is usually about Is or 20 per cent.
Now, Dir. Editor. | wish you would
ask Other persons who have some expo
| rience in this matter, and if their tes,imo-
ny correspondents with mine. ] wish you
would enquire and inform Us whether there
is within our reach, any legal and proper
remedy for 50 heavy n burden upon our
