On motion, it was unanimously resolved, that
the parish property, whereon the old Jail and
Elor's house now stand, be sold by the Trea-
surer of the Parish of Iberville to the highest
and last bidder on the following terms, to wit,
one-half payable on the LIST day of January,
1851, and the other half on the 1st day of
January, 1852, the said property to be divided
into two lots of one hundred feet front onCourt
street, by the depth thereunto belonging; pur-
chasers to furnish their notes or obligations to
the satisfaction OF the President of the police
jury, who is hereby authorized and empowered
to sign the bills Of sale and give a good and
valid title FOR the said property to the purcha-
sers, said notes to bear interest at the rate OF 8
per cent per an. from time due till paid, and spe-
cial mortgage to be retained on the property for
surety of the price and all interests.

ments to. be made on account of the new court
house and Jail, and falling due respectively in

levied in and for the Parish of Iberville for the
year l849, of IL cents upon every hundred dol
lars value of taxable property assessed, and
in conformity with the assessment roll of the
State tax for the year l849, and an ordinance
to that effect having been submitted to the po-
lice jury, was unanimously adopted and APP
proved. '' t
On motion, the Police Jury adjourned until

wit, on the LIST Monday of January next, 1850.

After the Election.

Political excitement is at length at an end
and the harness of the political tread-mill has
been lifted from the shoulders of the Candi-
date and the Editor, and both are now allowed
a long space of time to recuperate their wasted
energies, and to reflect upon the career they
have run. To the former, if successful, a buoy
ant mind, high hopes and vast expectations, are
his eompanions--he regrets not his past toll
somesnd weary journey, and prepares with a
light heart to enter upon the duties, which his
felIow-citizens have called upon him to fulfill;
and if there is anything thatc shadow a brow,
now wildly radiant with the smiles of victory,
it is the reflection that the object gained pays
but poorly for the work given to acquire it.
The defeated candidate is truly in a lamenta-'
bic state ; his past smiles and winning manners
his speaking and his maneuvering, his treat
ing and paying the fddlers-his money spent
and debts contracted-have all been for naught;
and now, when all is over, there is No tongue to
compliment him, and no plying voice to console
him, in the deep detection into which the ballot
box has east him. Alas! he might now exclaim
to his fellow-citizens, in sober earnest, in the
language of the poet
"The last link is broken that bound me to thee =" Is
But the editor is still in a worse condition
than the defeated candidate. There is no chance
for him, to buoy up his spirits through months
of mental and physical toll, without the hope of
reward When the polls are opened his career
has run, All the good, or the injury, he has in
ficted upon the community, has now ceased to
be regarded-his columns can no longer inter-
est the politician or the candidate his love or
his hate, are no longer matters of concern, and
whether he prospers or perishes are considera-
tons that interest them but very little. If his
friends are defeated, a great portion Of the cha
grin, the modification, and the olloquy of fail
ure, fall upon his head; if they are successful,
the past influence of his pen and his press are at
once forgotten, or if further notice is taken of
either, it is merely through the forms of polite
ness and etiquette. The Press, which was of
such undoubted Importance previous to the cleo
u ny" aiiefShhieaiiee aud ilhpoteIce
when it is over. But he has the satisfaction of
knowing, that whatever the result, he has aimed
to advance principles, which he believes to Be-
for the prosperity Of the State and the coun-
try; and this inward consciousness of having
done his duty, both to the people and himself,
has often buoyed up the spirits of a poordI of
an editor, and urged him to 'press on" however
much poverty and want, through the neglect or
sel6shness of his party, are crushing him to the
earth. Tosa the least of it, the editor and the
candidate have a rugged road to travel howev-
er great are the misfortunes of either, they re-
ceiye but very little sympathy from the world
in general. r,sga

THE GREAT SUGAR DIscoyERY.-The dis.
covery said to be made by q Belgian chemist
named Nielsen, says the Scientific American
whereby it was represented that he could
change the juice of beets, &c., into crystals,
without any boiling or other preparation, than
merely adding a powder to the juice, is doubted
by some, and a Belgian newspaper speaks
against the sugar produced as having a sulphu-
rous smell. The substance used by Nielsen
is stated to be "the bi-sulphate of lime" About
from pne to two per cent, of this substance is
added to the juice, and to the pulp Of beets. The
snlphurous acid Of the bisulphate prevents all
chemical changes, and lime is present in suffi-
cient quantity to neutralize any acid that might
possibly be produced. After the addition Of
the bisulphate, the liquid is kept for a few
moments " q temperature Of 212 deg. Fahren-
heit, is then allowndto settle, and after being
