Important Survey.

party of surveyors, consisting of Major
u. 5. Walton, A. L. Mcclellan and j. G..
Longstreet, the latter a son of General
James Longstreet, arrived in town this
week and proceeded to make survey OF
Bayou Lafourche, exciting much curiosity
among the residents along the banks of that
stream as to the object of the proceeding.
BY inquiry of the gentlemen themselves, we
ind that the survey is being made under an
appropriation made by Congress for the
purpose, with the view of ascertaining the
practicability OF building a canal to extend
from here to Napoleonville, thence through
Lake Verret and adjacent lakes and on to
Texas. In case of the establishment of such
a canal a lock will be placed at the source
OF Bayou LafOurche, at this place. We sh Ill
refer to this subject at greater length here
after. The surveyors will remain here sew
eral days, and will have small boat con-
structed with which to navigate the lakes
and swamps through they will be forced to
pass in the fulfillment Of their mission

The Condition of western Farmers

The Condition of Western Farmers.
A correspondent Of the New York Tri-
bune has just been to see our old friend
S. M. Smith, of Kewanee, Illinois, the
leader of the new farmers association.
Mr.. Smith is splendid specimen of our
western farmer, lives and labors upon the
farm himself, and, though sixty years old,
is as young and fresh as boy. His
knowledge of the questions which now in
terest the producing classes is general and
profound. The correspondence well dis
plays the difficulties and losses to which
farmers in the West are compelled to sub
nit. 1t is quite proper for those of our own
people who propose to go west to consid-
er, before leaving state, where, with in
dustry, economy and patience, they can
do well. We publish Mr.. Smiths state
ment in another column. He shows that
it costs about sixteen dollars per acre to
raise and market an acre of corn. The
price Of corn at this time is twenty cents a
bushel there, the distance from Chicago being
about one hundred and twenty miles; land
is worth forty dollars per acre. These are
telling facts.

which can possibly be construed to me; n
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of one race at the ex7
pense of tho other. Nothing. On the
contrary, it is full of expcdients looking to
the common welfare.
We appeal to all honest and fair-minded
men when we say, that party which pre-
SCENTS good men for their suffrages, upon a
good platform, has given the highest proof
of its claim to their confidence. The can
didates Of q party may be properly attack
ed, or its principles, but if both are unex-
ceptionable, that party must win. All
pleading to the personnel of party is
irrelevant. In this case it is dishonest and
unmanly. We demand of our opponents
that this fight be carried on according TO
the laws of honorable party warfare. Let
them attack our candidates and our plat
form, but let them not stoop to SANDER our
humble masses who are able to make no
defense.
