Gus dwelling which could be used as
residences for the officers and opera
tives Of the factory This desirable
property surrounded as it is by
cultivable and well timbered land,
might, we feel warranted in stating,
be secured for factory purposes from
the liberal and enterprising pro.
prietor on accommodating terms, and
having heard that it is his earnest
desire to facilitate and encourage the
establishment of factory here, we
are almost satisfied that Mr.. Pike
would be willing not only to dispose
of those premises for the purpose,
but, moreover, to invest, by way of
stock, such portions of them as would
be needed for the enterprise. We
throw out these suggestions in the
hope that they may lead to such
arrangements with that gentleman
as would prove beneficial to all
parties.
The question of establishing cot
ton factories is becoming more and
more agitated in this and the neigh
boring States, and in numerous To-
calities is, we are happy to find, as
Stunning tangible shape. This is as
it should be. Indeed, it is passing
strange, in view Of the declining re-
sources of the South, that this all
important subject, SO vital to the in
terests of our people as a means
Of .recuperation and universal pros
perity, should have been SO long
suffered to pass by UNDECIDED by
capitalists, business men and philan-
thropists at home and abroad. Poll
tics and political demagogism, which
consume the substance of, and cor
rupt and demoralize a people, have
been allowed full sway, meeting
with every encouragement and pat
ronage, and swelling the tide of an
tagonism and fanaticism, whilst the
great material wants of our people
SO necessary at this particular time
to stimulate them into new order
OF being as it were, by developing
their industrial resources and bring
ing general prosperity to their doors,
have been kept in abeyan ce, if not
overlooked and neglected.
Such a condition of things calls
loudly for reformation. Let every
one come forward and determine to
reform it altogether.

SPICY. There was a knot of sea
captains il a store at Honolulu, the
keeper Of which had just bought a
barrel Of black pepper. Old Capt.
-, Of Salem, came in, and seeing
the pepper, took up handful of it.
"What do you buy such stuff as
that for ?" said he to the store
keeper )" otis half peas"
"Peas y replied the storekeeper /;
there isn't pea in it."
Taking up handful as he spoke,
he appealed to the company. They
all looked at it, and plunged their
hands into the barrel, and bit kerr
mel OF 50, and then gave it as their
universal opinion, that there wasn't a
pea in it.
"1'll tell you there is," said the old
captain, again scooping up a handful !;
"and I'll bet dollar on it."
The old Boston argument all over
the world. They took him up.
"W ell" said he, "spell that"
pointing to the word "P-ep-p r."
painted on the barrel. eff it isn't
half p's, then I'm no judge that's all. )"
The bet was paid.

70 The following communication
which we find in the New Orleans
Bee, embodies certain reflections
worthy of being pondered over by
the "be-deviled and tax.ridden" peo-
pie of our State:
The LEvEEs.-The people should
be vigilant and well posted up con-
corning the all important work, and
the only reliable means of rebuild
ing the lettering Levees of the
State. The haphazard, and precari-
GUS scheme, seriously proposed, to
resuscitate the old Levee Contracts
(ander which large amount of the
pecuniary resources of the State
were irrecoverably submerged by the
galvanic process of emitting "Scrip"
or bills of Credit" through the
Auditor of Public Accounts, to be
redeemed by appropriations in EN-
bryo' of the State Legislature, is
procedure so utterly visionary, that
it only awakens the renewed inquiry,
viz: "Will any political economist,
or astute jurist point out to us the
precise law authorizing the Auditor
of Public Accounts to emit "Bllls of
Credit" or State Scrip
Also the precise law empowering
the Legislature to provide for the
redemption of said "Bills of Credit"
or State Scrip
The emission of "Bills of Credit"
by any State authority is a palpable
infraction of law. See Constitution
United States and comments thereon,
in Story on the Constitution, page
81. The physician of the State,
who, not satisfied in tampering with
distempers. undertakes the vitiate
law and regenerate Constitutions,
should possess uncommon powers.
Contractors will not attempt such
hazardous experiments" they will
rather incline to the admonitions of
the Governor, wherein he tells the
Levee Commissioners "That in order
to remedy the complicated embar-
easements and evils attending our
levee system, and to carry out eff |
GENTLY, the work of repairing and
reconstructing the levees to degree
commensurate with the requirements
of the State, it would seem clear,
that we must look to the United
States Government to come to our
relief with the requisite National aid
to repair and rebuild our levees in
time to protect us against future
inundation. Ell "SuR."
