NEW INVENTION EoR MAKING SUGAR.-By
invitation Of Messrs 0. LeBoc and Son, We
yesterday afternoon witnessed the operation Of
a new apparatus for facilitating the process OF
concentrating sugar from sirup 1t is anlnven'
ton made by Frenchman named Bours, IN
the Mauritius Islands. 1t was by him exholt.
ed at Paris, where it attracted the attention Oh
one Of our sugar planters and in this way has
been introduced here. The apparatus We Wy
messed at Goodales Refinery is the second IL
the State. The inventor and others who havs
examined into the merits of this invention tblaA
1t destined to create an entire revolution ID Inv
process of making sugar in Louisiana. NV
advantages it processes to offer are the follow
ing: Greatly diminished cost as compared N'D
the vacuum pan in the original outlay for 'ls
machinery necessary for concentrating slap
into sugar; great savingof fuel and labor 10 'n'
process and superior article Of sugar, when w
process is complete. There are also some IN,
nor advantages. These are all matters OF la:'
and require nothing but practical test for 'n'n
verifcation. We are informed that in res leo
to cost, this new apparatus is $240O against 9'v
600 for vacuum pan and that the saving ~
fuel is equally great. The quality Of the TX s.,r
ar we saw is very fine, presenting beao'llu.

The Municipal Election.

Our charter election on Monday last, went of
very quietly, and resulted in the success of the ell.
tire citizens or Anti Humbug ticket by very re.
spectacle majority. The result rather took the
Antics by surprise, verifying the adage that there
is many slip between the cup and the lip. Both
parties went into the contest with much zeal, and
were equally confident of success The number OF
votes polled was I65, being thirty more than at
any previous election. Although the contest was
conducted with spirit, neither party sought to bring
to the polls those who were not justly entitled to
the right of suffrage. This course has always
characterised our elections in Lafourche; and may
it always continue the ruling axiom with both po-
litical parties of town and country.
The Senior of the Minerva takes this occasion to
return thanks for the cordial support he received
at the hands of his fellow-citizens; and promises
return for the confidence placed in his abilities
and integrity, to manage the municipal affairs of
our vet 1ourshing town, to use fas every exertion
to further, protect and promote their individual
Nothing shall be lacking on his part to
further wise legislation, insure domestic tranquility,
and above all, it will ever be his constant aim to
cultivate among our citizens spirit of internal i'm
provement the only sure means of causing Thibo-
daux to retrieve her former high character as being
one among the first, and most important CONNER
cial towns in Louisiana. Here is the vote:

time. The timber and the man went through

some one for pushing him off the bridge!

CALIFORNIA DUST DID IT.

1t is not many weeks since the New York HFraid
ridcu!ed the idea of running Fremont for the Presi-
dency, and suggested that Kit Carson should be put
upon the ticket as candidate for the Vice Presidency
Now, the Heraid pretsnds to regard Fremont as the
itest person in the country for the Presidency, and
is laboring with conspicuous zeal to commend his
claims to the Black Republican Convention. This
is certainly very sudden and complete conversion,
and people puzzled to find out the secret of the
thing. In our judgment there is not the least mystic.
ry about the matter. From beginning to end, it is
plain as apike-saff Inthe first place, consider the
notorious compatibility OF the New York Herald. In
The second, attempt to calculate the in-xhaustible
resources of the Mariposa estate Now you have the
explanation. California dust didi it.
