Al Sypher says his little say on the sub
ject of "rebel" outrages in his district-or
rather the district which he misrepresents in
the Radical Congress. St. Bernard is one of
A. J. Sypher's pet parishes, and in st. Bernard
the Radicals regularly put Democratic meet
ings in q state of SIEGE They picket the
public highways with armed men, who pre-
vent the colored men from attending these
meetings. These things are done with the
knowledge, and probably under instructions
of the Radical carpetbaggers, and yet A. j.
Sypber talks of "rebel" outrages. These
persons think that Louisiana belongs to them;
but some fine morning they will discover their
mistake.

the CANE CRoP.-The recent disastrous
storm, We understand, has blown down the
cane throughout the river parishes of the
State. If this misfortune is general to the
degree reported, the sugar crop of this year
will not exceed one hundred and twenty
thousand hogsheads, but we trust the reports
are exaggerated, and that the crop is affected
only in spots where the cane is too thick, and
that the result will not materially vary from
ths estimates hitherto made. 1t would be IN
unusual season, when some cane. generally
planted on new and rich soil, are not blown
down II this advanced period of the year,
and We ars informed, Notwithstanding this re-
cent drawback. the crop win exceed one hun

The canvass in Pennsylvania Is conducted
with great animation. AL the able men of
the State are in the feld-such as ex-Gov.
Bigler, Hester Clymer, Senator Cowan and
Judge Woodward. They are reinforced by
Gen. F. p. Blair and Montgomery Blair, and
Mr.. Pendleton is to speak in Pittsburg to-day.
The Democrats are not only active, but
confident of success. The rate of relative in
crease over '66 established by the Maine cleo
ton, will carry the State for the Democracy
by GO 900 majority. We shall be perfectly
satisfied with 10000.

We have heard of camel which had long
endured great load, but whose back was at
last broken by feather. This gross and
crowning outrage would be- something more
weighty than feather, and the ca.nel might
not be able to bear it even if it should try.
We do not think, however, that even the
Dryades street Legislators are so crazy as to
try this ridiculous experiment.

Avalanche of the Sd says:
We learn upon upquestionable authority that q

ammunition, equipments. ETC., to match, arrived
in ST, Louis en- route to Little Rock. Ii was i'm

The United States Government has no occasion
to send arms to Arkansas, and this lot is doubt

Voters who relieve themselves from disa.

should remember that the supervisors have
no power to question them further. They
must register the voter who takes that
affidavit Bakers instructions are simply
illegal, and the supervisor who regards them,
and acts on them, will get himself into

The property known as the Fairview, situate
thirty miles below the city on the river, was
sold last Saturday at sheriff's sale for sl2 500.
1t is very large place, and previous to the
late war was valued at $3.50 coo; and the
improvements upon the place at present are
worth at least ten times the amount for which
it sold. Messrs. Dymond e Lslly, COM

purchasers.

wherever there is o population there is q
market for Injuries as we'll as necessaries,
il the producer will sell his commodities
low enough. It is the producer that makes
the market, not the market that makes the
producer. As long as producers ask twice
or three times as much as commodity
ought to be sold for, demand viii be at a
minimum. The average return to the pro-
ducers Of strawberries in the North is only
twelve cents quart, and they grow rich at
that; for the demand is unlimited. Let
them combine and get up the price Of. thirty
cents, and the demand would cease; the
consumer would grow his own fruit or dis
pense with its use.It is the competition
among growers that makes fine fruit and
low prices, and these create the demand !;
and quick and certain sale at a low price
pays the grower better than slow,
uncertain sale at a high price. If this
principle were better understood and acted
upon generally, but little money would
leave our State to swell the fortunes of
northern producers; but the spirit of our
laws, unfortunately, is adverse to home
competition. If the laws encouraged it,
manufacturers and producers would quin-
tuple their aggregate profits by increase of
business, and the consumer be benefited in
proportion. If q regular supply of all or
any Of these berry fruits at q reasonable
price (which would be one-third of that
now asked} could be found in our markets
every morning, the demand for all that
could be grown, each in its season, would
be as certain as the demand FOR daily
bread; and we should see the neighborhood
chequered with fruit-felds instead of
wastes, and growers would make money
faster. than they can ever do at the present
extrayagant prices. sss,szzt W. j.. a

the Spotswood Hotel on Wednesday after
noon to orinquire into; the -expediency Of
building in this city an Academy Of Music,
and the plan upon which such on enter

of money sufficient for the purpose could
easily be raised. The meeting is called by
