HT"lt may have been expected by the
people and the party generally, that the
Hon. John Hancock should have been re-
taincd as Chairman of the State Executive
Committee, and such was the wish of the
Convention at Bryan and the committee OF
that Convention which reported the Exec
utive Committee; and it was only at the
urgent solicitation of Judge Hancock him
self to be relieved that he was not retained.
lie said he was willing to work, to speak,
and to do all that he could to advance the
good cause, but desired to be relieved of
the duties of chairman. The name of
Gov. Throckmorton was then presented,
but he also declined for the same and other
reasons. We all know, from past expert
ence, that these two faithful sentincls on
the watchtower Of constitutional govern
ment will not be wanting in energy and
hearty cooperation to further the interest
of our State.
The Hon. William NJ. Walton the new
chairman of the Committee, is eminently
qualified for the position. Residing at the
capital of the State, an earnest, working
and Jealous advocate of the party, no bet

The Cultivation of Tobacco.
Facts and Comments.

We are again reminded of the
immense natural advantage OF
this region Of country and the
great loss Of wealth sustained in
! not diversifying agriculture by
present of some genuine Havana
tobacco, in leaf, from our friend
Mr.. John Schardt, of BastrOp.
This tobacco was grown last year,
from seed originally imported
from Cuba, and has the unmistak
able Havana favor, but so mild
withal as to be elected through
the nOstrils, and even swallowed,
without any annoyance. The leaf
is bright golden, thin and of fair
size. But its rarest attraction is
the favor, which is so exactly like
that Of the Havana cigar that we
would defy any one to tell the diff
ference between the cigar we are
now smoking (and which we made
0urself) and the best Pataga
brought to New Orleans. This is
rather hazardous assertion, but
we believe we are a judge of cigars
and know something of what say.
The profits of tobacco growing
are very large, the chief trouble
Oeing the worming of the plant,
and considerable caution, but not
much labor, being necessary in
curing. One hand can cultivate
easily 2 acres, from which can be
taken every year Gt is a crop that
never fails) at least 1000 pounds
of tobacco, and leave abundant
time for the hand to make corn,
peas and potatoes enough beside
to pay his hire. This tobacco, if
properly cured, will sell in New
Orleans at not less than 2Jc per
pound. Here then is $500, the
product of ? acres, nearly all of
which is profit.
Suppose we make this tobacco
into cigars. 1t requires abont II
lbs. of the leaf to make 1000 cigars.
1000 lbs. will give III, 900 cigars,
to make which will require the Ia
borofone hand6 months. We have
Of then $500 for cost Of tobacco
(Which is nearly all profit and
cost of making and boxing 5000,
making cost of cigars S1100.
These cigars will sell for not less
than 800 per thousand which
gives for IL, 700, s11,700; leaving,
over and above the profit on the
tobacco and all cost, except reve-
nue., the snug sum of S10,6O0 clear
profit on the cigars. Or, suppose
we make the crop up into smoking
tobacco. One pound OF fine smok-
ing tobacco retails in Monroe at
from one dollar to two dollars and
a quarter per pound, according to
fancy. We grind ours up at a
tritiing cost, and paper it with a
flaming label, and brand it with
some taking name and sell it 75c
per pound by the wholesale. De-
ducting for expenses of manufac-
turing 5000, and we have a profit
lett OF 31250.
We confess that tlRSe figures
\ Stagger us, yet they are based
upon facts derived from one who
is we'll informed in tobacco grow
ing in Louisiana. 1t appears
strange that d people who have
open to them so many avenues
o wealth should still wear their
lives out making cotton to enrich
their oppressors. Here we are
pursuing the phantom Of a cotton
bale, working year in and year
ont annoyed by crowds of thank
less, thriftless Africans, going
