Almost invariably the Wheeling
REGISTER, sent to us, as it is in q single
wrapper, comes to US with the wrapper
torn off. and then tied around with q
piece OF cotton twine. Certainly a
newspaper comes as fully under the
postal laws as any other package, and,
though we may be captious and rather
peculiar about the matter, We certainly
shall if it is repeated, invoke the aid of
Colonel Ramsdell in ferreting out the
guilty parties.-Morgan Mercury.

The true Democrats in the city OF
New York do not feel bad over the
result in that city. They have over.
thrown the corrupt "Ring" Of the party,
which gives them a better standing
before the country, and guarantee for
success next year. There has been no
falling of in Democratic strength,
Patty lines were ignored by Democrats
as we'll as Republicans to defeat the
thieves, and all honest Republicans
voted as readily for TILDEN for the
Assembly as honest Democrats for
SIGEL. If the Republicans will only
commence the work of publication in
their party, and complete as have the
Democracy, then honest men will indeed
have cause for rejoicing.

HERE may be good and satisfactory
reason for this heavy falling off in the
amount of free school money, but il
there is we cannot conjecture what it
can be; and we are certain we have
heard none from those who ought to be
familiar with the subject.
We shall wait for an answer; failing to
get one from those who can give it if
they will, zoe promise, an due time, TO re-
zeal IL ourseLves.-Stats Journal.
Don't it seem to YOU, Governor, that
there is just little discrepancy in the
two paragraphs quoted above from your
recent article in relation to the school
fund? If you "cannot conjecture
what is the reason for the falling off,
how do you propose to reveal 1t your
self? And il there is any person in
the State who ought to be familiar
with the fact that the school fund dis
,ributed in 1870 was from the receipts
of seventeen months instead of t,oetue (;
and that it was further swelled by So.
Sl295 from the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad; and that the then State Off
Gers omitted to make the assessment OF
railroad property for 1870, as required
10y the Code, whereby nearly $4,000 were
lost to the school fund of the present
wear; that man is WILLIAM E. STEVEN
SON, then Governor of West Virginia,
pow editor Of the State Journal, and
author OF the sentences quoted above.
We have here, therefore, not only a
confession OF the Ex-Governor igno'
rance Of acts done during his own
administration, and with which he
ought to be familiar" but, while con-
tossing his ability to account for the
diminution Of the distributable school
fund, he declares his readiness 10 man,

The Cave in the Levee At CarroII.on.

General NJ. jeff Thompson, Chief State
Engineer, has called upon us and states
that the cave in the levee between Carroll
ton and Camp Parapet. has been expected,
the furious eddy at that place indicating
danger. Not only was he personally cog
infant of the precarious condition of this
levee, but City Administrator Cockrem has,
officially written to him on the subject, and
special survey from Camp Parapet to
Sedgwick Hospital was made several weeks
ago.
He states that many other similar caves
have occurred in the State since the last
high water, but this is the most important,
as it is entirely within the protection levees
of the city of New Orleans, and crevasse
at this point (one-half as largo as the late
one at Bonnet Carre) would give good boat
ing on st. Charles street, and genuine
Holland overflow, with it's incident loss of
human life, over that portion of the city be-
yond Claiborne street. 1t would put the
water in the city much higher than did the
Sauve crevasse in I849, because it is within
the line of Camp Parapet and Metairie
Ridge. Gentlemen who desire to see the
difficulty to establish line of permanent
levee, can do so by visiting the "slide" at
the French market, and the "cave" just
above Dan Hickoks, in Carrollton; and any
other information on the subject of the
levees of the State will be cheerfnlly fur
nished at the Office OF the Board of State
Engineers. at No. 16 Dryades street.

The City Library.

There are about $4,000 volumes in the
library, mostly choice and standard works.
A large number of the most popular books
are generally out of the library in the
hands of some curious explorer of legendary
lore, and hence it frequently happens that
a student fails to find the book that he may
wish to refer to. If such books were dupli-
Gated and full copy Of all the volumes of
each work kept constantly in the library,
students of literature would be spared the
annoyance of being compelled to read odd
volumes at odd times, as is now frequently
the case. Any surplus fund belonging to
the library might be appropriated to the
purchase of such duplicate copies.

Interesting to Tobacco ne.Iers

The question having been raised by Col
lector Pulien, of the Cincinnati district, as
to the right of tobacco manufacturers to
affix the name of dealers to their products
where orders were filled, and having been
referred TO the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, Commissioner Douglass decided that
the law allows the proprietor's name to be
printed upon these labels instead of the
manufacturers. This, however, will only
be allowed in those cases where the person
claiming to be the proprietor is the owner of
the factory, or has legal right or title to
the particular brand of goods manufac-
tured, or where the tobacco, snuff or cigars
are made expressly for the person claiming
such proprietorship. In either case the
removed from the place of manufacture,
and when once so affixed they can not be
removed or any others substituted there
for.

The Cane.

Says the Empire Parish Register:
This plant still promises the very best.
Its growth, in every respect, is superb. If
the cutting season is good, the yield will be
all that our planters could wish The work
of preparing for the cutting and grinding
season is being pushed forward on nearly
every plantation. Extra labor is being en-
gagged, and the various apparatus about the
mills is being repaired and put in proper
trim. The cutting and grinding of cane,
and the manufacture of sugar and molasses
always demand a large amount of extra
labor, which is paid for at highly remunera-
tive prices. The prospect now of large
yield of sugar offers inducements to laborers,
and especially to those who are accustomed
to the work of sugar farm

The City Hall.

The Department of Improvements yester
day discharged the entire force of laborers
that has been employed strengthening the
interior protection levees along the sides OF
the canals the Bayou St. John and the
draining sewers. We understand that this
action was taken for the purpose of econo-
missing, and for the further reason that the
city had no mony with which to pay the
laborers, being obliged to borrow the neces-
sary amount to settle up last weeks dues.
Besides Administrator Cockrem is of the
opinion that the levees are now sufficiently
high to prevent any overflow from the
September gales.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Opening of the Regular Season.

| N0N~-e~~-N
Although our summer has been vel
| freighted with some very entertaining re
| creations, the people constantly look for
ward to the time when the regular theatri
! cal season shall furnish us with something
like standard amusements. The Academy
of Music, since its lights were dimmed last
spring, has been in the hands of first class
artists and mechanics, who have diligently
Piled their vocations in preparing for the
next opening. Patrons may rest assured
that all things required for their comfort
and pleasure have been strictly attended to-
The managers, with great iberality, have
sought and found the best and MOSS at
tractive talent, such as will please the pc
culiar likes of this community, past expe-
rience teaching the proprietors many excel
lent lessons, which have not been forgotten.
The course of other theatres has been
closely scrutinized, and where points were
| made notes were taken. Mr.. Bidwell and his
co-workers are passing the heated term
abroad, gathering knowledge in town and
country, for old and young.
All preparations are nearly perfected for
next fall and winter, in anticipation of a
brilliant season in every sense of the word.
The Academy will flash its footlights on the
twenty-ffth of September, commencing
with finely organized dramatic company,
one that will please the most exacting au-
dience. The following list of brilliant
names constitutes a portion of the company:
Miss Louisa Hawthorne, Mrs. A. j. Phillips,
Miss Kate Browning, Miss Emma johnson,
Miss Marie Boniface, Miss Julia Mayer,
Miss Ida Hebert Miss Ida Loring, Messrs.
j. w. Hill, w. X. Sanyard, George Morton,
Harry Ellis, A. j. Pike, w. d. Shiels,
Charles Norris, G. A. Mortimore, j. It.
Craven, Frank Weston, and II. Moen.
Mr. Frank Keller, said to be one of the
best stage managers in this country, will
have supervision over the dramatic enter
tainments.
The two weeks preceding the formal open
ing will be filed with minor engagements,
amusements of light kind yet possessing
a certain amount of attraction for large
class of theatre goers.
Those who delight in such performances
as are given by professional stars, will be
delighted on reading the following engage
ments:
Lydia Thompson's new company, Mrs. d.
P. Bowers, Joseph Jefferson, Mrs. James A.
Oates, Hiss Lille Eldridge, Mckee Ra nkin
English Comedy and Operatic Company,
Mrs. Chanfrau, Dominick Murray, John E.
McDoneugh's Transatlantic Combination,
German Opera. Lingard Troupe, Abbott's
Pantomime Company, E. Bandmann and
wife.
These bTiliiants will also visit the Mobile
theatre, and if it is possible Mr.. Bidwen will
add others to these attractive names; in
fact, he is at present negotiating, with a
good prospect of securing some other highly
lauded stars. He will leave New York for
home on the twenty third instant. In a
future issue we will make mention of i'm
provements made inside the Academy
Former visitors will scarcely recognize the
place on opening night.

T0wb0at Insurance.
The ST. Louis Democrat Of the seventeenth
instant SAYS:

The st. Louis Democrat of the seventeenth
instant says:
Quite an important resolution was passed
at special meeting of the Marine Board of
Underwriters held yesterday, which was
nothing more or less than the admission of
the towbOat Antelope and barges into the
carrying trade between this port and New
Orleans, limiting the amount of cargo, how
ever, in any one tow TO two thousand tons.
Hitherto it has been impossible for any tow
boat with smaller cylinders than twenty
inches diameter TO enter this trade either in
high or low water, in consequence of a
standing resolution of the Board refusing to
insure a cargo towed by any boat having
less than twenty inch cylinders. 1t now
looks as if they had arrived at the con-
clusion that boat with seventeen inch
cylinders can handle two thousand tons as
inch cylinders can handle four and five
thousand tons-a conclusion which is GER
tainly a most reasonable one.

Mr.. Werlein is, constantly in receipt of the

excellent instruments.

Rice Gathering.

On this subject the Empire Perish Register
says:
The portion of the cultivated plants of
this parish, on those fields that were not in
undated during the epring months, is now
being cut, threshed, hulled and shipped to
market. We have as vet been unable to
obtain but small amount of data on which
TO base an intelligent estimate of the yield
per acre; but what we have obtained salts
fes US that the general average will be
about fifteen barrels to the acre, which, at
five dollars per barrel, would realize the not
altogether unhandsome amount of seventy
i've dollars, and, we think, a fair profit.
The rice growing on those tracts of land
where the water destroyed the first plant
ing, is growing well, and promises as good a
yield as that which is being garnered now
