SOUTHERN INTERESTS.

We are indebted to the Hon. T. G. HUNT, of
Louisiana, the able Representative of the city of
New Orleans and large sugar district, for the fol-
lowing interesting statistics on the culture of sugar
and cotton in that State, which he informs us were
communicated to him by L. J. FoRsTALL, Esq, of
New Orleans, successful sugar-planter, who is
widely and favorably known as a merchant and
fnancier, as well as for his general and accurate
knowledge on subjects connected with the leading
interests of the country. At the present moment,
when the subject of revision of the tariff is at
tracing the attention Of the country the informa

We stated yesterday tot the House of Delegates
of Virginia had refused its assent to an appropri-
alton for the completion Of the Covngton and Ohio
railroad. A friend informs us that there are one
hundred and eighty miles of this road not get COM
menced and this it is from which the appropriation
is withheld Appropriations will no doubt be libe-
rally made for the prosecution of all the works in
progress.
The Board of Public Works of Virginia consists
OF three members, viz. ARCHIBALD GRAHAM, Ed
WARD j. ARMSTRONG, and THos. j. BOYD Mr.
Graham is President and William r. Drinkard is
Secretary. Nearly the whole time of the members
of this Board is devoted to the interests committed
to it, The duties imposed upon it are, first, to
supervise the construction of the works Of internal
Improvement Of which the State is the sole owner
second to represent the State in Those in which it
is interested with other stockholders; and, third,
by means of the bonds of Virginia to procure the
means necessary to prosecute these works.
In the Annual Report of this Board recently
published we find much to interest and instruct us
The various works in progress and completed are
particularly noticed including railroads, plank roads,
ordinary turnpikes, &c. The extent of railroads
completed is 049 miles, and in progress 873 miles,
making in all 1922 miles, to which add $50 miles
of the Coyington and Ohio road not yet commenced
and we have total of 2, l02 miles of railroads in

The Board prudently recommends that no new en-
terprises of this character shall be commenced at
present.
The publication Of a new map of the State, at
cost of six thousand dollars, is recommended The
publication of geological map and memoir, based
upon the geological surveys of Prof VIM. B. Rogers,
prosecuted at an expense of $4,000 during the
period of seven years, beginning in 1886, is also
recommended measure of great advantage to
the State. 1t will cost about $4,000
In speaking of the financial affairs of the State
the Board pay marked and emphatic tribute to
the Skill energy, and perseverance of the agent Sc
ected by its predecessors and continued by itself in
the service of disposing of the bonds of Virginia,
both In this country and in Europe, viz the house
of Seden, Withers Il Co., Of Washington and
especially during the extraordinary period of de-
preston which commenced in August last, and con-
tinuea for several months A member of that firm
repaired to Europe, and, although he found that
the state Of the money market was very unfavorabe
for new negotiations both in EDgland and on the
continent his success was complete, and the Board
announces with great pleasure that arrangements
were made to secure sufficient supply Of means

FRENCH SPOLIATIONS.

The following article on this subject so deeply in
terestlng to many, appeared in number Of the
Richmond Enquirer published in October, 1925,
twenty-nme years ago:
go suffering Merchant in Philadelphia complains of
the injustice of the French Government in delaying to
compensate merchants for the spoatons which they
have suffered. He estimates the amount of property
seized and conscaed under the Berlin Milan, and Ram
boullet DEGREES than $780, Not one cent
down to this day has yet been the real
He airms, emphatcally, that France is able to pay
and France must pay Every American politician must
join IN this complaint The powerful letters Of Mr. GAL
LATIN while Minister to the court Of France cannot be
entirely forgotten yet what did i: avail? His argument
controversial much less confuted But they first
plead their poverty and when the European acquisitions
upon France adjusted they then talked counter
vang claims they had upon account of the duties
at New Orleans of Beumarchais, &C. 1t is time to bring
the matter to conclusion. Mr. Brown it is to be
hoped, is pressing the King for definite
swer. The new reign and Minister our part
furnish favorable opportunity for renewing the
negotiation with redoubled spirit If there claims
both Sides why not refer them under special limitations
to Board of Commissioners? With hundred and fifty
actual inhabitants of Hayt France now with
than ever whimper about her poverty We Of the
South will In for very small share of the indem

United States, and think them strongly entitled the
protection of their country and to the justice Of
France" 20
FRANCE has paid the amount of indemnity de-
manded by the United States, but the 'ssuffering
merchants" Of the United States and their heirs
have thus far received no portion of it. 1t has
gone into the United States Treasury, and the Gov

which has no parallel in the history of Democratic
Government, has hitherto refused to dsgorge the
funds which it has thus obtained and distribute

BUILDING Railroads.&c. Mining Register deneunces
the system of railroad contracts prevailing in Penn
sylvana injurious the interests of stockholders and
to the public at large BY this system few specu
lang individuals undertake to contract for the consruc-
ton of long line Of many miles of road and then SUBJ
let it by sections in such way to speculate and make
profit out of the subcontracors The original contrac
tor takes to leave margin enough all con.
tngencics while the sub-conracts made stinted

cution of the work, or it is but mperfecy executed

largely increased prices made and consequent
pense annoyance, and delays incurred As Phila-
depha has been liberal in her subscriptions railroads
this is subject which ought to arrest public attention
II is thought that the work Of building railroads would
be much expeditiousy, economically, and satsfac-
