THE NEW ORLEANS SUGAR RLNt
Tho Modus Opernndi.

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-ofacials and large
and wealthy importing house were concerned,
and that their operations were carried on
through collusion with persons in the samp-
ling 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, cargo
after cargo coming to the same house, Of the
same low grades and under-size boxes. The
Picayune thus reports the subsequent pro-
ceedings:
In the meantime, q thorough investigation
was made. An inventory OF all the sugars IN
port was made. Special classihcatlons and re,
the correctness of the suspicious entertained,
and on Tuesday. the 29th, the seizure was
made of about $3.50 boxes 1850 bogsheads and
rs tierces Of sugar, all OF which is stored In
the various bonded warehouses. The nodas
operandi by which these importations have
been maze is this The party in Havana max

would swear to as correct, &C.; aud the consul
would send copies OF this to the consignee and

they would appear all right. The weisher here
would see to it that the sugars were not over.

they we're mol classed at too high grade, and
so the su ars would get through. and the Uni
ted States Treasury would scarcely OBTAIN It's

and released, and all such as are found to

Dieppe OF sufficient capacity for the largest
yessels-the water to be contributed by the
sea, and kept at proper levels by locks and
fioodgates. A large basin will constitute the
entrance to the canal, which will be about one
hundred and sixteen miles in length. The
natural facilities of the route which has been
selected will allow ships Of the largest class to

striking their -gallant-masts. The plans
for this great work are said to be in course OF

Emperor's immediate supervision. Immense
results are anticipated from the bringing OF
Paris into direct communication with the sea-.
"A new community, to be known as the
"Evangelcal Protestant Deaconesses' Insti-
tute and Training Hospital" has recently been
established in England. The community was
organized in consequence Of the number oi
applications made to an orphan home by ladies'
for permission to attend as nurses the slck
beds Of the poor. The deaconesses wear white
caps and aprons with dark colored dresses and
bonnets. They attend charitable institutions,
and when asked will nurse in private families

sion to the sisterhood must be over seventeen

THINGS IN RARNWELL.

A correspondent writing from Dunbarton, 8.
c., who has recently travelled from that point
to Blackyile, o distance Of twenty five miles,
kindly gives us the benefits Of his observations.
He says:
The corn crop generally is tolersble good,
especially that planted in March. There is
some late corn that still l,oks promising.

been used in this county this season than ever
before. II it vas not for the fertilizers the
cotton crop would be truly behind some dis
lance.
From what I see, and what I myself have
used, I think the various fertilizers thus far
have proved more beneficial than ever before.
Still, the result is not certain yet. The cotton
crop, you might say, Is just started to make.

We think old South Carolina might resuscl-
tate again, il wholesome laws could be given
to her. but she is as yet too much under negro
legislation and negro rule and Radical doctrine
for speedy reaction. But one thing ID GER
tain there is more industry and perseverance
exercised by the white population than was
ever seen before. Among the whites there is
no loafing, no idling; every one is engaged in
some honorable business, and is prompt and
attentive to his calling. This change in the
political status has made complete change in
the industrial department. Formerly the
white man worked but little, and the negro
was the true laborer. Now the white man is
the true hard worker, and If there is any
idle time. that is grasped and enjoyed by CUT
fee and Sambo.

THE GOOD TIME COMING IN TIL
SOUTH.

The New York Commercial Advertiser forc;-
bly, remarks:
The condition of tho Southern States at the
nrese MT time is full OF promise. They seem to
have fairly tided over their Industrial and p:-
htical trou oles, and the future is bright with
the promise of a high, and, we trust, enduring
nrosperity. Another good cotton crop, OF
winch the indications appear to be the most
favorable, will place tbem IN position which
even the Northern States may envy. The
Southern people. fortunately iof themselves,
have therefore no debts at tue present time.
They Lave been forced TO live economically,
and depend entirely upon their own resources,
while the Nurtherners, as q rule, nave peen
exit ayaeaut and w4steful. 1t ID probable that

panic which some persons regard as lmm,-

States.
