The story of piundcr ma Misru,e.

The cultivated lands in Louisiana
haycdecreased ncauJy a million acres

story of plumber and inisrule. There
is no richer soil than that of Louisiana.

but thetilluble land now unc,lltivated,
is placed as high as twcntymillions OF
acres. In view of this fact, the leading
merchants Of that State, ineonvention
at New Orleans, have been discussing
the ways and means of INDUCING more
immigration there. t,,. .sI..
1t was shown that the agricultural
labor of sthe state is annually be-
coming. less efficient, and its sta
pie and food crops, and even Its do

the State. Division of land into

The Use of Cistcru Water.

The Gallatin, Tennessee, Examiner
has this to say about theuse of cistern
water: Eve -haye often called the
attention Of our citizelis to What we
regard ASIA well-settled fact that those
who habitually use cistern water are
nearly if not entirely exempt Gfrom
attacks of cholera. All the experience
and information that we have leadsMs
to this conclusion. During the great
prevalence ofthe epidemic in Nashville
in 1S49-'50 it0was often remarked.
During the present visitation, although
it is raging in Nashville, Edgeheld, is
exempt from its raVages, and we learn
that not a single ease has originated
there, although y few have died there
who contracted it in Nashville. eq
We learn, also, that there is a like
experience'in, Memphis. InSope ward
'thecity, where cfsterns are plentiful,
not ~ single scasel as 0ccIlrred AT
Clarksville, where nearly every, family
is supplied With cisterh, the citizens
feel a sense of security 'mparted by the
possession. In 1886 the cholera swept
the town-there, were no cisterns. IN
1S49.150, it was observed that there
was NOT ascase in y family sthRt used
the rain water. At once the citizens
went to work and 80 many were built
that place is not regarded as desirable
without q cistefti Stpoif III. ? III WAS
proved in 1866, when the chqlefa. swept
Nashville, carrying offS20 persons. -
The records of Clarksyillelshow that
there, was, q mortality of,seventyr OF
whom sixty-nine were fnegroes living
in the outskirts, and one white man,
an inebriate, all Of whom drank spring
and well water. And we are informed
that tlieEcitizens Of ClarksNille, amid
the universal panic that overspreads
the whole country; are coolHand conf
dent, and as exempt from, fear. as
though the cholera was no nearer than
the jungles of. India. This feeling Of
confidence itself is priceless in time of
panic. We may mention In addition
to the many other facts supporting our
theory, that the cholera has never pre-
vailed in a freestone country. Surely,
these are sufficiently wellaestablished
pointsto enlist general attention.

n. w. Mackey was nominated for State Trea-
Judge
Resolutions were adopted of renewed conf.
dence in Republican principles, and endorsing
the Republican National and State platforms
OF 1877; that the federal and State administers
ton is deserving of the earnest support of the
people; demanding that q Constitutional Con-
VentiOn shall so place the absolute prevention
Of special legislation before the people as to Sc
cure their separate and decisive expression
thereon: that the reduction of the debit of the
State, increase of the schools, and other State
improvements proves that the control of theState

that both State and National taxation should
be reduced as rapidly as was consistent with
good government; that the public lands should
be reserved for actual settlers and not granted
to corporations; that legal protection should be
provided for miners; tt at the late act of con-
gress increasing salaries should be promptly
and Internationally repealed that to secure
political purity in officials it is the duty Of every

lively to secure good men for nominations; that
the loading of appropriation bills at the close

The RAILROAD Wharf.-The Haverhill Ga
zette becomes very much interested in the dis
agreement between the Eastern and Maine
Central on one part and the Boston & Maine
on the other. 1t says:
Joseph Symonds of North CornvilIe, Maine,
supplies Haverhill, in part, with Sheep lambs
calves, ETC. George W. Davis buys carload
of him per week. They are CARED at Show
hogan, but when they arrive at Portland in
stead of being sent to Haverhill, they are sent
to Newburyport, and Mr., Davis is obliged to
go there and take them from the cars and drive
them or draw them to Haverhill as best he can.
Mr.. Symonds buys the stock of the farmers in
Maine for the markets on the liLe of the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad, but now must reduce
the price the amount of expense Of transport
ing them from Newburyport or any other place
where it is the pleasure of the Eastern Railroad
to leave them. Now, how long do the manag
ers of the Eastern Railroad suppose the people
of Maine and New Hampshire will submit to
their tyranny? How long do you suppose the
people of Maine will submit to be deprived of
the markets on the Boston & Maine Railroad?
The people are slow, but when they move they
move in force. We already hear the low muir
muir which precedes the storm. Are the peo-
pie of Haverhll 10 be deprived of ten thou
sand bushels of potatoes from Maine, annual
ly, because the Eastern Railroad refuses to
make connection with the Bo ton & Maine
Railroad? Are they to be deprived of all the
products of Maine, east of Portland, because
the Eastern Railroad has entered into a con-
spiracy with the Maine Central?

vandalism of the Carlists at Iguelada. saws that
the Carlists were reinforced by 1000 men when
the inhabitants gave up in despair, throwing

and others taking refuge in the church. These

fused t. give themselves up, the Carlists broke
down the doors of the church by firing cannon
balls into them, and pouring in streams of sui
phured petroleum through the breaches and
setting fire to the liquid as it flowed. The oc>
cupants of the ediice, blinded and suffocated
rushed out into the open air, only to meet the
bayOnets of their prosecutors.
The bells then ceased tOlling, and the little
garrison of the bell town abandoned their post
and the Carlists remained in possession Of the
sanctuary they shamefully desecrated.

The Governor General Closes the Session
and Announces Commission ON the
Railroad Scandal.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug 13.-The Governor Gen
eral closed the first session of the second Par
Lament of the Dominion to-day in q speech re-
viewing their acts as follows:
81 have thought it expedient and in the in
terest of good government to order q commits
SION to enquire into certain matters connected
with the Canadian Pacific railroad, to which
public attention is directed, and that evidence
should be taken on oath. The commission
shall be instructed to proceed with the inquiry
with all diligence and to transmit their report
to the Speakers of the Senate and House of
Commons, as well as to myself.
Immediately on receipt of report 1 shall
cause Parliament to be summoned for the
despatch of business to give an early oppor-
tunity of taking such report into considera-
ton. Meanwhile bid farewell"
Confusion i'm the Dominion Parliament.
An extraordinary scene took place in the
meeting of Parliament to-day. When the
Speaker took the chair Mr.. Mckenzie, leader
OF the opposition, promptly arose and moved .
resolution condemning the removal of the in
vestigation into the charges against the minis
try in connection with the Pacific railroad
scandal from the Parliamentary Committee to
the Royal Commission, as violation OF the
privileges Of the House.
The Speaker endeavored in vain to call him
to order. He was supported by loud cries of
privilege" and Ego ON from the opposition
benches.
Mr.. Mckenzie proceeded to speak on the mo-
ton, when the usher of the black rod appeared
he continued speaking amid the utmost con-
fusion, during which the usher of the black rod
delivered his message and retired.
The Speaker then left the chair and with the
supporters of the government left for the Sen
ate Chamber to hear the Governors speech,
amidst the groans and Kisses of the occupants
OF the opposition benches who remained in their
seats. Great excitement prevails with regard
to the proceedings. The opposition members
hold meeting this evening.
