BouNDLRgs WEALTH. ALMOST.

Twenty years ago the American people
bewildered themselves occasionally with
the question how the money could be
raised provided it was concluded, as few
quiet individuals often suggested, 10 free
the negroes and pay for them OUT of che
national treasury. That was monstef
proposition in those days, for averaging
each negro at the price Of shree hundred
dollars, the entire numbe. III the United
States would have required about nine
hundred millions % dollars 20 pay for
their freedom. The country stood ap-
palled at the sum. Since then We have
become familiar with great sums. The
country has paid more money for war
than would have bought every negro in
the nation and set hin! up with d home
stead We owe three times as much
money as the slaves might have been
bought for. We have consumed more
money by fires than appalled, the entire re-
public twenty years ago. We are ready TO
pay Spain one-ninth Of the amount that
might have saved the nation millions OF
dollars, just for the privilege Of calling
Cuba a part Of the Union. The money
put in railroads within the last ten years
would have bought all the negroes in the
Union twenty years ago. And. notwith"
standing al that we have expended and lost
we have freed the slaves ct a loss to the tax
rolls Of fully nine hundred millions of dol
lars. Suppose the American people. instead
Of shrinking back from the expenditure Of
nine hundred millions OF dollars twenty
five years ago, had agreed to go that much
blind in order 70 make all men free, what
might have been the condition Of the
country to-day? We should have had five
thousand millions Of treasure that We have
expended; we should have had million
more healthy men; and the cotton crop,
instead Of netting what it does. would
have rolled out ten millions Of bales per
annum at five cents per pound. What
great changes resulted from the untami-
Iiarity Of the people with immense sums
Of money. If such a problem confronted
US to-day. we should merely say: 'Put
the presses to work printing the money,
and pay the bill; that is the easiest way to
get rid Of the risk and bother" It is
great convenience TO be rich. Millions
are consumed by fire in Boston, and the
country is eased Of its apprehension by the
statement sent abroad on the lightning,
THE loss falls on those who are able to
bear it. !" It is q great thing, indeed, to
be 50 rich that calamities seem to be inca
pable Of reaching beyond the competence
that money has secured.

WHAT ABOUT THIS PLANTATION

An advertisement in one Of the papers
informs US that large plantation, prob
ably the finest in the State, is for sale. 1t
is recommended to the public as embrace
ing twelve hundred acres in solid body
Of valuable sugar land, together with Valu-
able outbuildings ard palatial mansion.
The question arises, is this plantation ar
ranged in the best condition 10 suit the
policy that ought to obtain in the State {?
If this valuable body Of land could be ap-
portioned out to twenty men, would not
the community be twenty times better of
than if it continues to be held by some
nabob who spends its proceeds in other
communities, Or probably in Europe?
Would it not produce a larger crop Of
sugar, babies ana Intelligence if its
wealth fed thirty owners instead Of one !?
And if war threatened the State would not
4 company Of land holders be more yalu-
able to the commonwealth than the lord
of such POSSESSIONS: 1t may be said
that this is gravitating toward agrarianism.
Nothing Of the sor:. The State as owner
Of the soil. made tile in the outset to
these lands, and She tacjtly reserved the
right Of eminent domain. The present
owner only holds by virtue OF the law
that the people made, and he must abide
by any change which the interests Of CONF
munity may require and which community
is authorized 70 make by virtue of It's orig
inal reservation. We do not advocate nor
suggest that any radical Investment shall
take place in this instance or any other,
that will impair proprietary rights. but we
simply put forth certain suggestions for
the consideration Of the owner Of the
plantation in common with his neighbogs.

refractory subjects should be in good part
imposed upon commodities Of which the
United States IS the principal producer !?
It does seem little steep. Still these are
questions Of diplomatic policy not within
the scope Of our knowledge, hence we can
not pretend to appreciate the obligations
Of our government. If, however, there be
no impediment to the negotiations Of a
trade treaty we should ask the government
on behalf Of the West and this its natural
outport to maintain the duty on foreign
sugars at twenty per cent; our planters are
content with that obtain reduction Of
the Spanish duty On corn, -four, bacon,
lard, lumber and live stock and our Western
farmers will have q market. The United
States will pay for sugar in produce in
stead of specie, and among subordinate
consequences New Orleans will import
sugar for the whole Western interior, and
distribute it by the boats, barges and rail
roads which have their terminus here

Where the Tines obtained its informa-
ton that the REPuBLIoA,d was or is in
favor Of counting in Kellogg and the whole
Republican tickle: pegplexes US somewhat,
for no such suggestion was ever made in
these columns. What the REPUBLICAN,
said was very plain. that if upon al honest
count OF the votes, and a proper correction
ofthe errors and frauds that can be proved
to have been committed. the returning
board discovers that Kellogg has been
elected Governor Of the State. we shall ex-
pect that statement to be made officially
for the government of the community. Il
the result elects McEnery, Wc expect that
fac? to be declared. But in either or both
eases we expect an honest return accord
ing to the will of the people And we have
quite IS much confidence, and perhaps
more, il the disposition Of General Long
street, Senator Lynch and Judge Hawkins
to make a fair and square return as we
have in Messrs Hatch, Wharton and
DaPonte. What we are asking for is what
the Times would ask for it did not have
some special object to gain, for we merely
require the result to be told in accordance
with the will Of the people, and not as it
may be directed by a body Of political
brokers in New Orleans.
