L0UISIANA'S CALAMITY.
A Terrible Picture of the Condition
of Her People.

A Terrible Picture of the Condition
of Her People.
A gentleman who has been resi-
dent of North Louisiana more or less
since 1874, furnishes the 81. Louis Re
publican the following in regard to the
suffering caused by the overflow in
that section:
From the various disasters of almost
every kind that have afflicted Louisiana
since the war, the planters have really
become poorer and poorer every year.
In nine cases out of ten they have been
compelled to rely upon their factors for
means to plant from year to year. The
overflow came before the usual time of
making advances, and none have OBJ
tanned their usual supplies. Not one
in ten have made supplies at home to
last them sixty days. To raise meat is
out of the question, as the freedmen
appropriate it generally with impunity.
In many parishes the black popula-
ton outnumber the whites ten to
one, hold all the Offices, furnish the
jurors, and penalties for hog-theft are
seldom, if ever, inflicted. Nearly all
the whites within my very extensive ac-
quaintance are striving to get means to
abandon the State Their poverty only
prevents general emigration to Texas,
or some other white mans country, as
they call it. Now it is impossible to
conceive of the suffering of these peo-
pie, unless you had, as have, trayersed
the country in boats. The devastation
and ruin that meet you everywhere, the
CONSERVATION of the inhabitants, their
present sufferings and apprehensions
for the future are really heart-rending,
their little property depreciating from
20 to 40 per cent every year, taxes 5
per cent andi IN some parishes even per
cent. on value fixed by those who
usually have no property to tax and are
only interested in making the commits
sions for assessing and collecting as
large as possible. No privations that
these people experienced during the
war win at all compare with those ti.ey
suffer now, thousands of poor whites as
well as negroes seeking from place
to place some kind of employment to
earn bread from day to day; but have
only stated few of the trials and suf-
ferings of my people"

SHELBY'S CAUSE CELEBRE.
Another MistriaI i'm the Mclean EN-.
bezziement Case.
Appeal, May 6


In the case of the State of Tennes-
see VS.. William Mclean, indicted for
embezzling the public revenues of
Shelby county, the jury, after seven
days dehberation, were discharged on
Monday last, it being their unanimous
opinion that they could not agree up
on a verdict, and one of their number
being too unwel to give due consider
alton to the case. The magnitude of
the sums of money supposed to have
been embezZled amounted IN the ag-
gregate to about two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, together with
the social and prominent political IN
fuence of the defendant, made this
case one of absorbing public interest.
William Mclean was elected tax-collec-
tor of Shelby county In 1868 as the
Republican candidate, and reelected
by the same party in 1870. In 1872,
and before the State elections
of that year, the grand jury,
upon investigation of his official books
and papers, found heavy deficits rum
ming through the entire four years of
bis service as tax-collector, stating the
amount at some two hundred and
seventeen thousand dollars. At the
May term of that year the present bill
of Indictment was found, which con-
fines the act Of embezzlement to 1871.
He was arraigned and tried during
that term, with result similar to that
of the late Investigations failure on
the part of the jury to agree. The de-
Tense in both trials rested mainly on
the assumption that other parties In
and out of the Office of the tax-collec-
tor, appropriated the missing funds.
Good character, too, established up to
the ime of the grand jury investigation
and report, was relied upon. The case
was as ably and efficiently prosecuted,
and as well and zealously defended, as
any similar case could be In our courts.
But the failure of the jury to agree
upon a verdict renders the labor of the
prosecution and defense nugatory, and
another jury must be empanneled to
bring the question of guilt or inno-
cence to fnality.

HALSTEAD'S APOSTASY.
The Humors of the EDITORIAL Syn.
dictate.
New York Tribune, May

New York Tribune, May 5.
One of our enterprising cotempora-
ries, on Sunday last, ordered reporter
to stop at the Brevoort House. on his
way home from church, and discuss
the affairs of the country with Messrs.
Halstead, Bowles, White and Waiter
son. The four gentlemen were togeth-
er when the reporters card arrived,
and Mr.. Watterson, whose dramatic
powers are the delight of a numerous
circle Of friends, volunteered to under
go the interview for the party. He
saw the reporter, announced himself as
Mr.. Halstead, regretted the indisposi-
ton of Mr. Watterson, and pro-
ceeded to give the views of HIM
self and friends in relation to all mat
tiers of current interest. 1t is well
known that one star ditfereth from an
other In glory, and that the glory and
the style of the four journalists IN
question sweeps through an immense
range. But the genial Kentuckian was
equal to the occasion, and became more
Yankee than Bowles, more Buckeye
than Halstead, and far more profound
ly Sucker than re editor of our Chica-
60 namesake. In one point he was
perhaps too energetic. He had the
happy thought to make MIR. Halstead
an old-line Democrat, devoted to State
rights and the memory of Jackson, and
when the revising editor of the World
came to the eloquent passage n which
this attitude was assumed, he drew his
pencil through it, with the remark that
"Halstead meant well, but he couldn't
come into the Democratic party with
out reasonable probation. The re-
port that Mr.. Watterson proposes to
devote himself to Opera Bouffe is to a
certain extent unfounded, and doubt
less arose from the above incident.

FARM AND GARDEN.
WORKING CORN AND OTHER
CROPS

Instead of using a pillow to work corn,
cotton and potatoes soon after the
plants are up, it is most economical to
stir the ground with fine tooth two
horse harrow, wide enough to take out
the weeds of two rows at one operation.
Mr.. J. J. Thomas, of New York, has in
vented what he calls smoothing har-
row" for this work, which has 95 steel
teeth, round, set slanting back, not to
pull up corn, and only half inch in
diameter. But any farmer with a little
mechanical turn can construct a har-
row open somewhat IN the centre, for a
row. of corn, cotton, peas or potatoes to
be passed over without harm. Some
harrows and cultivatnrs have frames
that may be contracted or expanded to
suit narrow or wider rows. 1t is i'm
portant to get land in condition to save
labor.
On large smooth prairies some farm
ers say they raise corn at cost not ex-
ceeding seven cents bushel. 1t is
only on smooth land, free from rocks,
stumps and guIies, that the best i'm
plements of tillage can be made avail
able. On the best fields one hand and
a pair of mules OF horses works
eighteen acres of corn in day, doing
two rows at each time the harrow
crosses the corn-feld. Young cotton
should be worked in similar manner.
Three-fourths of the ground cultivated
In these staples would be improved by
passing an iron or wooden roller over
the loose soil after the pillow, harrow or
cultivator, between the rows, because
the pores In the soil are too large.
Sandy and loamy land needs compress
ing most often.
After seeding land In millet, oats or
wheat the roller should pass over the
loose open soil, and the seed should
never be covered deep. Hence We har-
row the ground after blowing before
seeding, that all the seeds may be COW
cred at a uniform depth, come up,
grow and mature together. Defective
working and unequal covering of seeds
do much harm, as well as bad blowing,
in preparing land for a crop. Tillage
is nice art, whose perfection rests on
profound science. Every farmer should
endeavor to understand just how Guilt
walton of any kind changes things for
the better In the ground planted.

Democrats i'm the senate.

Conscious of their strength, they
maintain a decorous sang froid, and
are, to some extent. easT, though
slightly concerned. Naturally, they do
not want to be reduced to the unmea-
sured Importance of an unknown
quantity" yet they hold the balance
of power either way, for without them,
the infiationists cannot carry the Sen
ate, but the contractionists can by an
accession of two or three votes carry
the bill which the Senate Finance Com
mittee viii report, provided they should
be silent or absent. In the later event
that result would be doubly assured.
Furthermore, some of the Senatorial
friends of the administration have been
adroitly at work to win over by a signi-
hcant kindness and an implied sug-
gestiveness of benefit to be derived,
the support of some of the pre-
viously opposed Democrats, and
their own political colleagues have
not been idle In working for this end.
So it will be seen that, If these contin-
gencies develop into facts, the Presi-
dent stands fair chance of winning a
victory In the Senate by having such
measure carried as viii meet his APP
proval, notwithstanding the earnest
and immovable determination of the
opposition. Another aggravation of
the isolated position Of the more

that their fellow Democrats have con-

Others, who are on the opposite side,
are cut off by the reticence of their Re-
publican coafreres from the information
which would, perhaps, cheer them to
renewed activity, and are in the dark
by reason of the uncertainty which now
prevails as to what is going to be done
and the present non-communicativeness
of those who, to a certain extent, pre-
yiously counselled with and guided
them.
