trust you will excuse me in dwelling so long
upon this portion of my report, in consideration
of what l conceive to be its Importance.
There has been much discussion in reference
to the propriety of employing white instead of
slave labor, and also as to the adoption of the
contract system in place of the one now in use
The State Engineer, whose only business is to
conduct the internal improvements Of the State,
should certainly be able to throw some new
light upon these questions. A new system of
bookkeeping has this year been adopted, which
enables US to show in detail the expenditures
for different objects since took charge of this
department, and would also aid US in forming
correct opinions in reference to those subjects.
Our provision bill for the year 1853 amounted
to S5,O4S.4l, or per head for each negro, in
Guiding provisions for superintendent of twenty
Eve bands, $47.62. Our clothing bill was
$2,288.l5, or $2s.5l per head. In the year
1854, our provision bill amounted to $5,677.7a,
which includes some small bills for surveying
parties. Our whole clothing bill amounted to
$l,a42.5s, which would make the total cost per
head, for negro provisions and clothing $73.98!.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-10-04

This do not think very extravaganza, when
we consider that the superintendent were all
furnished from the same provisions, and that
many articles are required for negroes working
ON boats and in camp, which they would not
want if living on plantations where an abund
'ance of vegetables could be obtained. We pur-
chase everything; while on plantations, corn
and more than half the food necessary are raised.
As far as my experience goes upon the ques-
ton of the employment of white or slave labor,
land | have employed both, the former on the
Barrataria and Lafourche canal, and on the
works at the month of the bayou Plaquemine,)
the results stand as follows: This department
has employed for the last two years an average
of one hundred and three negroes, at an average
cost of provisions and clothing for two years of
S7,47S. Nine of them have died in the mean
time-one from old age, two from chronic dis
eases previously acquired, and the other six
able men-so that, although nine have died in
two years, the State has lost but four per cent.
of its capital each year of that time. The &C
count should stand thus, estimating the negroes
at 81 200 each:
Value of l03 negroes, at $1,000
each $685.
Interest at six per cent. on stock for
one wear 7,4l6
Loss on stock for one year, per cent. 4,944
Provisions and clothing 7,478
Total 1888
Total cost for each slave per year 1872
Cost per month 16
2O,O46
One years labor of lO3 white men, at
S35 per month, including provisions 1920

B1- In Mr.. Julian's speech, printed during
our absence, we had overlooked a personal ref
erence to Mr.. Vale, of the Indiana Journal
Mr.. Wales reply soon appeared, inserted by
our pro tenn. Then came severe letter from
Mr.. Julian, which was laid over till our return.
On examining it, we find some merely personal
matter, which we are not in the habit Of intro
ducing in the Era, and which Mr.. Julian must
allow us to omit. No one can complain of a
rule which we apply to ourself as we'll as others.
