TIE NEW ORLEANS SUGAR RING
The MOdus OpeFamdl.

The shattering, of . new ring formed at New
Orleans for the evasion Of the customs duties
on sugar is announced by the New Orleans pa
pers. It is alleged that prominent Congress
man, several well known ex-onaaials and a large
ana wealthy importing house werEs scomceruvSns
and that their operations were carried on
through collusion with per sons in the samp-
hing and weighing departments OF the custom
house.. Suspicious were first aroused by the
unusually low grades Of sugars imported, and
the exceeding light weight Of the boxes, carpo
after cargo coming to the same house, Of the
same low grades and under-size boxes. The
Picayune thus reports the subsequent pro-
ceedings: --'ri' =: 1':a
In the meantime, thorough investigation
wes made. An inventory OF all the sugars In
port was made. Special classidcations and re-
the correctness Of the suspicions entertained,
and on Tuesday. the 29th, the seizure Was
made Of about $3.50 boxes, 1850 bogsheads and
75 tierces OF sugar al Of which is iS stored IN
operandi by which these importations have
been maze Is this The party in Havana maxi
ing the purchases would have correct invoice
made out. which he would send TO the con-
made out, which taking to the consul, he
would swear to as correct. No.; and the consul
would send copies Of this to the consignee and
the customhouse here, 30 that on comparison
they would appear all right The weigher here
would see to 1t that the sugars were not over
weighed and the sampler would take care that
they were not classed at too high q grade, and
80 the su ars would get through. and the Unl-
ted States Treasury would scarcely obtain its
just dues, while certain individuals would be
consid srab.y better off in Treasury notes. IOf
course all the seized sugars will be reweighed
and reclassed, and all euch as are found to
have been trauduiently entered will te libelled
for evading the revenue. N

THE GOOD TIME COMING, IN THE

5 The New York Commercial Advertiser forci-
bly, remarks:
The condition Of the Southern States at the
present time is full OF promise They seem to
have fairly tided over their industrial and p,-
htical troubles, and the future in bright with
the promise OF high, and, we trust, enduring
prosperity. Another good cotton CROP, Of
which the indications appear to be the most
favorable. will place them IN position which
southern people,, fortunately for themselves,
have had no credit for several years past and
have therefore no debte at the present time.
They have been forced to live economically.
and depend entirely upon their own resources,
while the NOrtherners, as rule, have been
exM avagant and Wastetul. 1T is probable that
in the. event OF the occurrence OF the f1oancial
panic which some persOns regard as inml-
nent, the southern people would feel the shock
moro rapidly than some OF the more wealthy
and apparently more prosperous Northern
States. 5tf n"

There are many who agree in your views

years ago to some Of the members of the Board
OF Trade, but the parties, upon whom the mat

OF white labor into the healthy regions would
