RELEASE OF MR.. LOUD.
yives us great pleasure

1t gives US great pleasure to an /,
nounce chat Hon. Geo. B. Loud has at
last been set at liberty, after an i'm
prisonment of fifty three days in the
parish Jail at Piaquemine. For some
reason best known to himself, the
Sheriff Of Iberville concluded to re-
consider his rejection of the bond
signed by Hon. Ant. Dubuclet as
surety, and that document was rec
ognized as sufficient guaranty that the
interests of the public would be pro-
tected even if the accused has been
guilty of embezzlement and should
vanish to parts unknown before the
time fixed for his arraignment.
We have full confidence that Mr..
Loud will stand his trial like man,
and clear his skirts from all faint of
official dishonesty. If he can not do
this, We say let him be treated as
other malefactors are. And in the
event of his guilt being established,
we shall be ready to accord the judi
cial officers of Iberyille all due credit
for the faithful performance of their
duty inasmuch as ferreting out his
crime and securing his punishment
are concerned, but we shall always
deprecate their conduct in keeping
man who had not been proven gull
ty of any misdemeanor in prison
nearly two months upon teehnicah-
ties that are not applied in one case
out of a hundred. The personal NAL
ice that induced this course was too
apparent to be concealed by mere gem
leral denials on the part of the perpe-
traitors.

tons from August, 1872. In August
1873, We bought from Great Britain
40,O05 tons of railroad iron. In Au-
gust, 1873, we bought of that country
but 6,973 tons of railroad iron. This
is indeed encouraging to the iron
manufacturers of this country.
I We have no statistics of the iron
exported from this country to England,
but we have the most satisfactory
evidence that such shipments have
actually been made, something never
before heard of. It is not too much
to expect that in few years the trade
will have turned the other way, and
that instead of buying our iron abroad
we will appear in the markets of the
world as sellers. !.
Whether or not cotton be king is
not question with which we need
concern ourselves, but as an article
Of commerce, upon which Large pro-
portion of our labor is expended, it is
and always viii be exceedingly i'm
portant. A very large section of our
country is mainly dependent upon
the cotton crop, and a glance at the
figures showing the amount of last
years yield and value in the market
must be interesting to all classes of
our citizens.
The total number of bales of cotton
raised in the United States last year
was, 1890, 500. The average weight
of bale is AGA pounds. The total
weight of the cotton grown in our
country last year was, therefore,
/, 1926, 755,712 pounds, or 9lI,677 tons
of :, 700 pounds each.s Allowing each
bale to be five feet in length and sup
posing the entire number of bales to
be placed in one line end to end and
we have a wall of cotton 1862 $40
feet, or upwards of $500 miles in
length.
This cotton was sold at the average
price of fifteen cents per pound, maxi
ing its value S273, $50, 356.80. 1,053,
465 bales were sold to foreign dealers
and brought us $1s6, 727 ,365.6O. Thus
we see that cotton is still by far the
most important article of export we
have. ALERT.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. G., September 26, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF:
"A view of the surface of things
would suggest the opinion that the
worst of the financial storm is over.
1t requires greater wisdom, however,
to look beneath the surface and ascer-
tain the direction of the undercurrent.
One thing is certain, men are not so
wild with excitement as they were a
few days ago. Whether this quiet is
ewing to a disposition to view the sit
uation with ealmness or whether it is
the stupefaction of despair remains yet
to be ascertained. To say the worst
is over | fancy to be a very hasty pre-
diction. The developments of to-day
are not at all encouraging. Here in
Washington the banking house of
FAINT, Washington g. Co., an old es-
tablished house that has weathered
all the storms since 1857, including
that terrible panic, was to-day COM
PEELED to close its doors. In Baltimore
the firm of William Fisher g. Sons,
the leading brokers of that city, was
forced to suspend. News of the sus-
pension of three Chicago banks has
reached us this afternoon. The prom
ised statements of the condition of
affairs of the banks that first went
under are not forthcoming, and, taken
altogether, the prospect is not cheer
ing one. go
Several consultations have been
held between the President and his
advisors to consider whether or not
any thing further can be. done to assist
the business of the country. The
opinion of the First Comptroller of
the Treasury and of the Attorney GEN
eral has been asked concerning the
legality of a resort by the Secretary
of the Treasury to the forty four mil
lions reserve, and though the opinion
is held by both these officials that such
proceeding would be justiiable and
legal if the intent were to save the
credit of the government itself, but
when any other purpose is had the
legality of such action is, to say the
least, dubious. Secretary Richardson
announces his intention to interfere
no further, and after consultation
with President Grant last night and
this morning he has determined to
adhere to the intention to the last. 1t
is impossible for the Treasury Depart
ment to afford any further relief with
out resorting to the reserve, and with
out aclear legal right the Secretary will
not make such venture. The amount
of currency now in the vaults of the
Treasury is less than two millions,
and it is quite plain that it would be
unsafe toreduce the amount any lower.
In case the receipts of the government
should begin to fall off land it is quite
probable they willy this amount will
be required to meet current expenses.
It is therefore very evident that no
further aid from the government can
be expected. The banking business
will have to stand upon its own mer-
its.
1t is perhaps fortunate that this
crisis came upon us in time when
We We're able to stand it. If it had
been accompanied by a failure of the
crops and q general stagnation of bus
mess the result would have been dis
astrous. As it is it would now. seem
that it is only the banking business
that is unsound. No commercial fail I

DEATH OF Hon. MILES TAYLOR
On Wednesday of last week, Septem-
Der Oath, Hon. Miles Taylor, whose
name is familiar to nearly all of our
readers, departed this life at Saratoga,
New York, in the 9th year of his age.
Deceased came to Louisiana from his
native State of New York when quite
a young man, and engaged in the
practice of law, soon becoming emf
nent in the profession and the peer of
the brightest legal lights that adorned
the bar. He also acquired a great in
fluence in political circles and was
elected to Congress from the second
Congressional District, which position
he filed with honor to himself and
his constituents until the ordinance
of secession was adopted by the Lou
isiana Legislature, when he resigned
his seat in the National Assembly and
retired from political life. He had
acquired considerable property, own
ing fine plantation in this parish
and another in Assumption, aud of
late years resided in the city of New
Orleans and devoted himself wholly
to his profession. He was an able,
honorable and conscientious man
one who never knowingly did any
man a wrong-and his life might be
held up as fitting model for young
men to emulate.

occurred last Wednesday morning,
October ist., at the residence of his

Imitation produced by an aggravated
attack of dengue. Mr.. Landry had

seven years, having been born in this
parish and lived here all his life.

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-10-04


One Of the most disgraceful and i'll
timed exhibitions of partisan hate
that could be Imagined is an article
in a recent number of the Shreveport
Times commenting upon the noble
benefaction of Gov. Kellogg's for the
Felief Of the stricken people
of its own city. The Journal declares
that if the matter had been entirely
under its control, the gfft would have
been spurned In virtuous indignation !;
and this, forsooth, because Mr. Kellogg
is Republican and because he stands
in the way of the men who would force
themselves into power by the stuffing
of ballot-boS es and til b intimidation
and DECEIT of unenlightened voters.
It is a question in our mind Which is
the greater of Shreyeport's lisfor-
tunes, the deathly fever that strik
ing down 80 many of its people, or
the pernicidus teachings of such ahan-
ld9ned Journals as the Times, whose
degraded and inhuman sentiments
are infusing deadly poison into the
minds of the rising generation and

cords and antagonists amof & the
