RICE CULrURE.-The culture of rice in
Louisiana is beginning to attract the atten.
ton Of Northern capitalists, and well it
may, seeing that it has proved to be most
successful crop and a most remunerative
one. 1t is estimated that this year Louisi-
ana will raise in the aggregate Eve thou
sand more tierces Of rice than the Caro-
linas, and yet but few years ago the
planting Of it was confined to few small
planters down the coast, who sent it to
market half cleaned. Parties have recently
purchased land on the Amite river for the
purpose of going extensively into the cul
tare OF rice in st. Helena.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF PUNISHMENT

Idh UNCERTAINTY OF PUNISHMENT,
The certainty Of punishment for the
commission of offenses has powerful in
auence to prevent crime. Unfortunately
there is now no vagrant law that will al
low the imprisonment of offenders known
to be professional thieves. Hence they
flock to this city as place of perfect Sc
euIity during their skirmishing to ascer-
tain the best points Of attack for plumber.
The fraternity of thieves operate here
freely, and it is beyond the power of the
police to restrain their movements unless
they are caught in the very act of steal
ing.
Even then, if there is proof against any
one Of the numerous thieves which abound
in large city, he manages sometimes to
extricate himself from the meshes Of the
law by deluding the prosecuting officer
into the belief that the charges should be
settled by a nolle pros.
Tue police are efficient, vigilant, active,
and they are successful in the arrest Of
se'eo t1leves, but II they are to bereleased
ny not pros. 10 continue their ieIonious
Operations there Is but little to encourage
sne faithful performance of q policeman's
duty, The attention OF The commu-
nifty should be directed 70 the facility with
which notorious criminals escape punish
ment after their arrest.
Housekeepers snd lodgers should make
their houses and lodging rooms a. secure as
possible against the deprsdatlons IF thieves
ahd burglars, Otherwise aii the vigilance of
the police can not protect them.
The Legislature st itsnext seasion should
enact vaErapt law, and prosecuting oiIi.
GERS should relax no effort TO c6nvscf ri.
soners aceusedIof crimes Of which thor are
gpilty. The shield Of mol. pros, that stands
between crime and justice, shsuld be with.

some measure by illegal votes, but when
nothing is needed to nullify disfranchisement
except false oath land perverted public
sentiment justi6es that the obnoxious law
is practically dead letter; and 1t is GER
tainly not for those who first caused it and
now disregard it to complain OF its severity
1t is hard to be sure, for man claiming
responsibility and chivalry as a birthrighl
to have to choose between Acknowledgement
and perjury; but then, after he has chosen, he
should not throw the blame on others
above all, on those entirely innocent, like
the much-abused "carpet-baggers."
COLLECTION OF THE ONE PER Gent TAX.
We are indebted to Mr.. F. G. Mahan,
State Tax Collector of the First District,
for list of the names of those who have
paid their one per cent tax from October
Is to November "a, inclusive. Among
them we notice the names of some of the
most prominent citizens of New Orleans
John A. Stevenson, President Of the Prop
erty Owners Association, heads the list,
followed by DR.. W. N. MERCER, William
A. Gasquet, William Torrance, Sumter
Turner, Thomas X. Price, J. W. Carroll,
A. B. James, Joseph Lallande, S. l..
& E. L. Levy, W. S. Pike, Alexander
Brother, James Graham, John Thornhill,
ex-Judge P. H. Morgan and others. The
aggregate sum paid by the above named
gentlemen is $36,S16 for the First District
alone; but as most of them own property in
other Districts the amount actually paid
into the treasury by them under the law
imposing tax Of one per cent has been
much greater.
Thus it will be seen that the first men in
New Orleans recognize their obligation as
citizens under the law, and pay little heed
to the factious advice of the Democratic
papers. The gentlemen named are all
old residents of unimpeachable bust
ness honor and integrity, and the
last men in the community to lend their
names or influences to perpetrate wrong.
They recognize the propriety Of making
some sacrifices to redeem the credit of the
State from the bankrupt condition in which
it was plunged by the extravaganza that
reigned supreme under the regime of 1865
and 1866. This one per cent tax is levied to
pay the debts of Legislature which really
mad no legal existence, but which have
since been legalized by General Assem-
bly, elected by the whole people. The
leading Taxpayers, representatives of the
class really interested, are disposed to de
their own thinking, conduct their business
in their own way, and leave the werk of
agitation to those who make their bread
and butter by keeping up excitement.

NEWSPAPER MEN.--The Bulletin has this
paragraph: -.
Two editors, one writer at large and six
printers appeared before Recorder Becker
on Monday for minor Irregularities. They
were all discharged without any other
serious accident; but the Recorder init
mates that the Legislature ought to pass
law authorizing the employment Of $50

state that one "writer at large" and one
