curious story comes to us from
Rome, which affords a forcible illustra-
ton Of tho inef1iciency Of previous
Papal Government, and also Of it's bad
faith. Nearly fifty years ngo, while
Louis XII wore the tiarn, the terror and
scourge OF the country was n band Of
robbers. under the chieftainship of An
tonic Gasparone. 70 him were attri-
buted deeds OF during worthy of o
second Fra Diayolo, aud by him were
undoubtedly committed over fifty mur-
ders, as we'll III numerous other crimes Of
the foulest character. Efforts, Of course,
were mado to capture him and Ills COM
panlons, but they met with such uniform
failure that it is was ut last decidad to
tender them free pardon and liberal
pensions, if they would surrcDderl and
consent to quit forever the rapnl States
This offer was accepted, but no sooner
had the bandits laid down their arms
than they were secured and thrown into
prison. There they remained, their
number being diminished from year to
year by denth, until. on Victor Ema-
nuel'B recent visit to Rome, but sevan Of
twenty-five survived. Ono of them
petitioned the King, representing that
they had never been tried. or even in
dicted; that prosecution was precludcd
by the expiration of considerably more
than the thirty years limitation, and
that they were, Independently of these
entitled to liberty by the
pledge originally mnde to them. Tie
Justice Of their demand las been admit
ted, and. after forty-six years imprlson-
ment, the seven bandits, now dccrepit
old men, are free men, mud ''lions" in
Rome. 1t is singular to read that
Gasparone has been hirod by several
French artists as molel for Moses or
Joseph, on account of his ''hne ratri-
archnl head"

The New York Herald anticipates q
very serious disturbance of old party or
carnations. and perhaps Of our existing
socini conditions, by the labor reform
movement. It perceives in it the ele-
ments OF great revolution, arraying
labor against capital; refers to it's inhu-
ence in the late New Hampshire election,
and to its probable fuller exhibition OF
strength in the approaching Massachu-
setts election, and concludes: s'Iu any
event, after November, 1872, we shall
have the beginning of new political
agitation in this country. which will
hardly stop short Of the greatest and
most radical and sweeping revolution in
the history OF the world, and we shall be
fortunate it VIC escape another general
OWL war In passing through this ap-
proaching revolution. Such are the
signs Of the times, and we live in an age
of revolutions.

The LOUISIANA SUGAR CRoP.-From

couraging accounts of the growing sugar
crop of Louisiana. The cane is in
splendid condition and still improving.
The crop, on the whole, is in better
condition than the most sangnine antici-
pated early in the season, aud should the
latter portion Of the year be favorable
for cutting and grinding, our State will
turn outa crop something like those of
ante beRum times. We do not think that
225. 600 is high estimate of the crop at
this time, though of course the contin-
genoies OF the fall must enter the calcu-
lntlon 80 far rs the merchant is CON

broke out on the West side of Meeting

occupied by Mr.. j, G. Madsen rs a to-

mable nature of the stock, was we'll I'M.
der way. when the engines arrived. The
flames then communicated to tho ndjoin.
ing store OF Mr.. Lengnick, and, being
fed by light and inhammable articles
composing the stock, both buildings
were soon enveloped in q tremendous
blaze. The engines, although they had
been Mt work all day on the streets,
pumping out, were worked with vigor
aud nlacrity, and by their efforts the fire
was confined to the two buildings al

contained in them. were totally de-

The CoTToN Caop. period for
| gathering the cotton crop having ar
rived, tho spectators Of New York and
| Liverpool have, as usual. set to work to
bear the market, and, il possible. get
the products Of our planters for nothing.
| The reports of bad seasone, short acre
agre. and disasters of various sorts arc
set down as all Cannon, and it is boldly
announced that the crop is nearly or
quite rs largo as that of last year-at
least equal to tho picking capacity of the
idle race who produce it. IL is useless
to combat their assertions, for they are
made for purpose, md will be adhered
to, right or wrong. All careful renders
aud disinterestod observers in the South
know this estimate to be false one.
They know that if there is such thing
as truth in men. the crop is obliged to
be nenr or quite million bales short of
that OF last year. On the first page of
this paper will be found copious extracts
from the papers of nearly every cottdn-
growing State, and if they be but half
true, we think the reasonnbleness Of our
estimate is sustained, despite the calcu-
lations of New York and Liverpool.
Thus is the issue made up. and now the
struggle commences between the plant
ers and the buyers, with the manufac.
turers at the backs of the latter. Last
year it was u very unequal contest.
Trade was stagnant, war was raging in
Europe, and the planter was in debt and
obliged to sell. Now, the tables are
turned. Peace reigns everywhere among
the commercial nations, trade prospects
are cheering, the planter owes but little,
and he has produced his own food for
another year. He is, therefore, in
condition to mako bold stand and sny
10 the cotton buyer: You must come to
reasonable terms. such as will pay me q
profit on my labor, otherwise yon can
not get my cotton, for Lam not obliged
to sell. have lived close and worked
hard tile present year; aud my fnctor
and dry goods and grocery merchants
are nearly even. or can easily be made
so, and ii need money, it will be cheap
TO borrow 1T on my cotton than sell
the, latter to you for less than it cost me
to produce it, Such is his situation,
md he will not fail to take advantage
of it.
On the othor' hand, the manufacturers
will continue to fight against this state
OF things for time, under encourage
ment received from the 100000 bales
men on this side. But the supply ut
this time is not greatly in excess of that
OF last year upon short crop. and the
falling off in the East must, of necessity.
be very considerable. The demands of
trade will soon be pressing upon them,
and, as money in Europe is abundant
and easy. they will eventually be forced
to pay Q remunerative price for their
raw material, as they ought to, and will,
and that too at on early day If the gam
biers should only get out of the way,
which they will eventually be forced to
do. Upon the whole, We are inclined to
the opinion that the Southern planter
holds the high trumps in the game tile
present year. and will only have to play
them judiciously to protect himself
against loss.-Sauannah Republican.

''There is certainty, unolouded by
any doubt. that the States 80 long desc
lated by war, and with the whole system
of labor reyolutionized, and without
capital, have achieved the hardest part
of their work, and are on the ascending
scale-n scale that may be followed
almost illimitably to the good Of those
directly concerned and of all affected by
their welfare"
This is apparent to all who have
watched the progress of the South since
the war. After passing through an
ordeal which destroyed thousands of her
homes, lost to her many OF her best citi-
zens, and left her almost bankrupt, she
wont bravely to work. and to day stands
an example Of what industry and perse-
Verance can do. Through all the diff.
culties and oppression OF tho 'recon-
struction measures" she safely stored
her way, and gradually built up manu-
factories and improved her system Of
agriculture, until she once more is rising
into her old position of prosperity.
