IT The Ope'ousos journal, Of
October %, reports the following
homicide:
'Last Tuesday night several, say
ten or twelve men armed with guns
and pistols, went to Hon. 7. c. An
derson's plantation, managed by
NJ. John o. Richard, near Grand
Coteau, and took an old colored
man named Stanton out of his
cabin, aud shot and killed bin.
The wife aud son of deceased, aud
others were in the cabin, but were
not molested. The armed party
seemed to be particularly in search
of another colored ncmed Colas or
Nicholas. 1t is not known what
the object or reason WIS for killing
him. The names of the armed
party were not knowa by the vii
nesses to the killing"

The aggregate expense OF the
Government for the fiscal year end
inc June 30, 1861, being the last
wear of Bucaanan's admilisti a;ioo,
was $S4,J77,2 5S.GO. As the popula-
ton of the United States was tten
81, 1882, that expenditure was
equal to $2.67 for every mao, woman
and child, slave as vel as fee.
Tie aggregate expense OF the
Government for the fst al year end
ing June 80, 1S71-the last year
of General Grants administration,
exclusive of expenses caused by the
Democratic rebelliOn-was $685.
500, 900, as shown by Secretary
Boutwell, The population of the
United States is now 1855, 1888,
and the expense Of the Government
is therefore equal to $2.48 for each
man, woman and child in the Union.
This is saving in favor of the pre-
sent Republican administration OF
10 cents each to our population.

exhibits in the clearest light the
reckless and absolute falsehood OF

ton and extravaganza on the part

R6SsBARdBs. :

y Nasy Of the wealthy and pro-
'gressive merchants OF New Orleans
have been holding meetings in the
city, and discussing with much
earnestness the practice ability and
immense advantages of the estab-
lishment Of a line of iron barges foi
the conveyance of grain to the city
from the great West. The disad-
vantages under which SO much Of
the shipping that come to New
Orleans labor, in consequence Of
the enormous tonnage and other ex-
penses. naturally came up in the
course of discussion, and itsppears
that If the barge line is successful
there is hope of successfully carry
ing out the canal scheme, and thus
shortening the passage to the Gull
BY forty miles, besides very materi-
ally cheapening the expenses Of
vessels going out by "the passes.
On Tuesday evening it vi stated
in the meeting held'on that occasion
that 100000 was all that was re-
CURED from this city. and that
$25O,0O0 of it had already been
subscribed. -a.4
We rejoice to see that our busi-
ness men are manifest;ng a determin
to shew so substantially how much
interest they possess ia this enter
prise, that they are not only invest
ing enthusiasm" but evidencng
the possession of it by money con-
tributions; and they may rest as
sured that when they shall have Sc
practically demonstrated to business
men, to capitalists in this countr,
and in Europe that they mean
business" there will be no doub,
IN the world of the success OF the
enterprise. The vast advantages OF
the establishment of this line, and
the money TO be made out Of invest
ments are such as to commend the
subject to the consideration of the
wide awake men of the country.
We hope that the enterprise will
be pushed along to a successful
accomplishment.
