THE Beet Sugar Company whose
land is on the Sequel, near Santa
Cruz, find that they have sowed one
third more beets than the soil will
bear. Chinaman have been set at
work to pull up one-third of the crop.
This is something that could not hap
pen in tlfis valley. The soil grows to
maturity everything that it sprouts.
One hundred and twenty tons of beets
to the acre is not an unusual yield
here, and no one finds it necessary to
pull up part of the young plants in
order to secure the growth of the re-
mainder. When a beet sugar COM
pany does commence operations in
Los Angeles valley, they will not be
long in finding out that they have
selected the best place in the State for
raising an inexhaustible supply of
beets.

the abundance there is to consume, if

Under the present contract the mail
from San Francisco and the north arA
rives in this city by telegraph stage
line at 2:35 in the afternoon. Under
the new contract, which goes into eff
feet on the first of July next, the con-
tractor is not bound to deliver the mail
at the Office here before o'clock in
the evening-three hours and twenty
five minutes later than at present.
Why the time was extended is not
stated, nor is it apparent. 1t may
have occurred by mistake, or have
been a bit of sharp practice. 1t seems
an unnecessary delay, and will work a
great inconvenience not only to our
people, but to all those to the south
and southeast of this city who receive
their mail matter by this route. AS
the mail now arrives, it is forwarded
south on the same evening that 1T
reaches here; but under the new con-
tract it will break the connection and
detain the matter for points below in
the office here about twenty hours.
Postmaster BENT is taking steps for
having the error corrected, if possible.
He is circulating a petition to the De-
partment at Washington to have the
contract so changed that the mails
will be delivered as at present.

AT the last session of Congress, Tom
FITCH made strenuous efforts to have
Utah admitted as a State, but Con-
gress had the good sense to deny the
application. FITCH knew the Terri
tory did not have sufficient popula-
ton to entitle it to the name of State,
but he wanted a seat in the United
States Senate, and making Utah a
State was his only chance for the
place. Now a similar scheme is on
foot. Certain ambitious gentlemen of
New Mexico are clamcring for the adj
mission Of that Territory as State.
There are less than twenty thousand
votes in the Territory, and it will not
probably have fifty thousand in the
. next ten years. Such States as either
Utah or New Mexico would make, are
not desirable. They are "o'er young
to marry" They, like Nevada, would
become mere burroughs for the sale of
seats in the Senate. Let them wait
until they have attained their majority
and given some evidence of having
reached years of discretion.

The Lost Cause,

Gen. 10. johnson, who understands fight
ing better than finance, and ex-Secretary of
the COME, lerate States Meminger, who I'M
derstands finance better than fighting, are
dispnting about the causes Of the failure of
the lost cause.-the dispute being brought
on by Gen. Johnson's argument, in his recent
book, that the chief mistake of the Con-
fedcracy was the financial one of failing to
make the cotton crop of 1861 the source of
it's revenue. In reply to this, Mr.. Meminger
says, among other things:
"The Confederate Government was organ zed in
Februirr, the blockade instituted in May, thus
leaving period Of three months in which the whole
cotton crop hand four millions Of bales ought
according to the military fnancer TO have been got
Into the of the Confederate Government and to
have been shipped abroad. This would have required
fleet OF four thousand ships, allowing one thousand
bales to the ship. Where would these vessels have
been procure1 in the face of the notification of the
blockade? and not much Of the cotton shipped
by private enterprise could hav been shipped by
the government

The Erie Railway Company is undergoing
the experience of the St. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern of something more than year
ago, and in every particular the features
of the two strikes are the same. Wanton
destruction of property is the exceptional
excess, but destruction of value not less
wantOn and foolish is the deliberate inten-
ton of all those whose interests are bound
up exclusively in the maintenance of the
prosperity Of the company. In the deten-
ton of trains, in the loss and annoyance
to passengers and shippers, in the in
tmidation and disturbance which are
necessary part of the programme. a
loss is inflicted far heavier than that
caused by destroying engines or running
machinery and it is this feature Of railway
strikes which is as indefensible and mex
plicable as the lawlessness which proposes
to settle the claims by violence, and to seize
railroads. without waiting for the trifing
preliminaries of the law.
The frequent recurrence of these excuses
leads us to wonder if the time will never
come when the intelligence of our operators
will not only render the employment Of mi
litary coercion superfuous, but will teach
them the simple truth that the interests Of
werkmen cannot be helped by destroying
the property Of their employers.
Any man who has sense enough to turn a
brake when the signal is given ought to
have sense enough to understand this.
In England, and in other countries, a
harsh law against conspiracy" is often in
voked to check and to punish just such con-
certed attacks on regular business as that
which has been made by the Erie Railway
employees. We should regret to see such
. law rendered necessary in this country,
but that is what we must certainly
come to if widespread interests and the
daily resources of life to many thousands Of
people are to be exposed to danger when
ever banded organization attempts to right
it's real or pretended wrongs by sudden
disturbance of industry. As far as the Erie
Railway Company is concerned, there is
little sympathy to be felt for it, and any
railroad which cheats its workmen out OF
their dues by any delays ought to be liable
to summary process for the enforcement OF
its liabilities But it should be process OF
law and MT of violence.

THE LEVEES.
ASCENSION PARISH, April 2, 1874

ASCENSION PARISH, April 2, 1874.
To the Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin:
An important notice has appeared in the
papers, dated March 10, 1874, from the Com
mission of Engineers, calling upon all plan
tiers to take care iOf the roadway through
levees and defective rice fuemes." These
notesof warning are proper, but would not a
blast from the bugle horn of the same COM
mission, sounded in the ears of the Levee
Company last summer, been worth now a
thousand men in repairing and constructing
| leveesa
In this parish there are three levees that
have been reported unsafe and new ones
located for more than two years. Why have
they not been constructed ? If they were
bad two years ago they certainly were worse
| last year, and Shout have caused the i'm
mediate building of the same. Has that been
done9 No! The same levees have been left
to the care of owners of plantations in the
rear OF them, and if not done by them, to
their neighbOrs, who, exhibiting more inter-
est than the Levee Company-save collec-
ting the levee fund-do the work. We may
have fallen into error in supposing that com
panies and rings created by the Legislatures
that have governed the State for five or six
years past, were intended for other purposes
than to collect the tax assessed and leave
the people to take care Of themselves. In
the face Of poor crops, bad levees, worse gov
eminent and high taxation, they have been
struggling for years. They have devoted
their energies to reclaim what they had lost
and retain home To such Saratoga. Long
Branch, Virginia Springs, with the amHse-
ment Of horse racing, curative powers OF the
waters and sea bathing, are unknown. They
know but to toll, to pay taxes, and get in re-
turn bad government, begotten in fraud and

A Mysterious Murder.
An Old Man Stabbed in the Heart.
Robbed and Thrown into the Basin.

About $50 this A. NJ, the body of Mr..
Edward Claren, gentleman OF 81 years,
was found in the New Basin by Private
Waterman George Carson and Officer
Rogers. The body was found between the
steamer Lizzie and the landing, and, upon
examination, it was found that he had re-
ceived four CHASTITY stabs in the heart, ap-
parently from sword-cane or a stillettO.
His pockets were turned inside out, and
from all appearance he had been most fonlly
murdered and then robbed by some desper-
ATE and cOwartffy assassin. The whole affair
seems to be wrapped in profound mystery,
as the Waterman on board the Lizzie heard
no cry or noise during the night, and the
body was found directly between the Lizzie
and the wharf. Mr.. ~zclarerf was last
seen at No. 26e Dryades street,
about o'clock yesterday evening,
in his conversation with several of his
friends, and stated that he was going to the
Lizzie on business, and nothing more was
heard of the unfortunate old man until his
corpse was found this morning bearing the
marks of his foul murder. Mr.. Claren has
always been held in high esteem in our COM
munity, and his sa. and mysterious end will
carry sorrow and regret to his numerous
friends, who, but yesterday shook him by
the hand and were the recipients of his ever
kind and genial nature.
Mr.. Claren has also been well known in
bo .if q lnr.ro xxLnlacala Euunp lan1ar.
on Magazine street. The body was taken
TO the undertaker's store of johnson, Oh
Magazine street, where the Coroner held All
inquest this morning. Such foul murder
in our midst Of an old and respectable cit-
zen should be Thoroughly investigated and
the vile perpetrators brought to speedy JUS
tice. The body will be buried this evening

Clinton Run to Ground.
The Rule for Contempt.
A Candidate for Colonel Patton's
Hospitality.

The rule taken by the Attorney General
for contempt, came up this morning for
trial The majestic Auditor put in an ap-
pearance, and after a long list Of witnesses
had been called the case proceeded. The
Attorney General then called for the state
ments of warrants. The answer of the
the Auditor denied the facts, alleging that
he always followed the Attorney Generals
advice when it was ineligible.
He also said he consulted private counsel
in the premises, and that he was a victim o
an unconscionable attempt at outrage in
office.
He also refused to make any return or
statement of the warrants issued.
The Attorney General rose and said that
this case was an extraordinary one. The
present one was peculiar, for he did not care
to be at war with his brother officers, but
was compelled to.
He also said that the Auditors defense
was one tissue of misrepresentation, that he
had here in court testimony to show that the
sworn statement of Clinton were false. The
Judge then stated that Clinton's return was
such that it ought not to be fled. 1t spoke of
his being entrapped and it would be better
for the Auditor to leave it out of the record.
He therefore ordered that the return be-
objected but Judge Hawkins quieted him /;
he asked for delay.
Mr.. Field, holding warrant in his hand,
said that he was ready to prove the viola
ton OF the injunction. He then read the
warrant. At this point the court ordered
that the calling of cases be proceeded with,
and the rule await its finish.

The Attack upon Mr.. Levy by Mr..
Fazende.

Mr.. Levy, broker, who is well known in
this city for years, and especially to newspaper
men as thoroughly reliable in all of his
statements, was yesterday assaulted npon
St. Charles and Gravier street by Mr.. Fa-
zende, also we'll known broker.
The assault was made unexpectedly upon
Mr.. Levy, who had no premonition that any
violence was intended. 1t was continued
from the street into the store of Mr.. Mai,
adjoining, and was only ended from pure
exhaustion.

man full length upon the pavement. Mayor
Wilt at this issue interfered, and peace
again reigned in Warsaw. There will

OvERDRAWN ORDNANCE ACCOUNT.

OVERDRAWN ORDNANCE ACCOUNT.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The efforts of Mr.
Wells to secure the cancellation of the
United States ordnance account against Mis-
souri, have led to general examination of
the subject and the preparation of a bill in
the military committee to square up the ac-
counts of all the States. communication
from the Secretary of War; in response to a
request of the military committee, shows
that Missouris Indebtedness is six hundred
and seventy-four thousand eight hundred
and ninety-nine dollars. Among the other
States which had overdrawn are Vermont,
$6O4 ,42l; California, $lS6, 311; Kansas, Al, 0S6;
Ohio, 1922 SIS; Montana Territory, $53, S37
New Mexico, $22, 949; Dakota, $26,7l4; Colo
RADIO, $11 ,496; Arizona, $7354. 1t has now
been determined to wipe out these accounts
and begin anew, for which purpose the fol-
lown bill is now in the military committee,
and will be reported shortly:
BILL for the relief of certain States and territories
on account OF ordnance stores issued by them dur
ing the late civil war.
Bel enacted by the Senate and House Of Represent
assembled that all Issues of and other ordnance
stores which made by the department to the
States and territories between the first day of Janu
ary 1861 and the ninth day Of April 1885, under the
act of Arri % 1885, and charged to the States and
territories having been for the maintenance and
servation of the Union and property chargsbe the
horzed to credit the several States ard territories
with the sum charged to them respectively for
and other ordnance stores which issued TO them
b tween the aforementioned dates, and charged
against their quotas under the law for arming and

NEW ORLEANS CUSTOMS COLLECTION DIS

Mr.. Wells bill defining the boundaries
and limiting the customs collection district
of New Orleans is a measure of consider
ovS 1A rf0v 70 fI,.,
nasmuch as it leaves the St. Louis and
Louisville collection districts by themselves
and thus enlarges the power and dignity of
the custom officers at these ports. In this
connection it seems proper to mention what
is spoken of in authoritative circles here as
a certainty, that Collector Fox is to vacate
his position before great while, probably
between this and the first of June, to be
sncc. eded by Mr.. John f. Long.

The Levee Company EX-
element.
Election of Directors.

The excitement in certain circles for some
time past over the approaching election OF a
new Board of Directors for the Levee Com
pany has been intense, and mere like the
excitement in New York during the fight Of
those moneyed giants, Drew and Could, over
the Erie Railroad, than any thing which has
TRANSFERRED for some time.
Judging from the anxiety displayed OH
the part of some of our most prominent
bankers and moneyed men to get position
on the Board, the company must be re-
garded as an Institution promising rich de
velopments in the future. There must be a
young Golconda in sight when gentlemen OF
the character and wealth of those who have
been endeavoring to secure a foothold in the
board struggle SO energetically and vigor-
ously to attain their aim.
We give below the names of the gentle
men composing the new board and those
who failed to be elected, from which it will
he seen that the State administration sue
ceeded in securing several more representa-
tives than it had before:
Some idea of the excitement and interest
in the matter may be formed when we state
hat out of 100000 shares, $4,000 were rep
resented in the election. The stock of the
company is now selling on the street at
S6OO-S15 being full paid but if the new
board does not build more levees than the
old and collects all the taxes, every stock
holder will soon become modern Cr9sus.
The following gentlemen compose the
new board.
p Irwin, J. H. Oglesby, d. F. kenner.
Bradish johnson, C. H. Hyams, Thos. H
Hunt p F. Herwig, Jno. Henderson, John
A. Morris, John McGinty, James f. Casey,

The following gentlemen were retired:
w. J. Behan, P. J. Kennedy, John Langlis
l.. f. Generes, John G.. GAMES, S. Friedlandel
and t. S. Serrill.
1t is regarded as certain that Mr.. John
Henderson will be elected President of the
Board, and Mr.. Duncan F. Kenner Vice
President.

The Virginia Bible Society received last
year from the churches $lO,5 500, and paid out
tor salaries and other expenses $1,000, and
only $1,000 was appropriated for Bibles.
The general agent of the society received
$3.50. From the above showing it appears
that each Bible given away costs 50 60, when
the fact is that the same Bible can be pur-
chased in any bookstore for about 50 cents.
