Death of Mrs. Admiral PeEn0ck.

On Saturday morning Lieutenant Viii
liam H. Emory, United States navy, tson Of
General Emory, Of the United States army,
a Marylander, now stationed in New Or
leans, Department of the Gulf. arrived in
this city, overland from San Francisco,
having in charge the remains of the wife of
Admiral Pennock, who commands the
United States feet in the Asiatic waters
Mrs. Pennock died at Yokohama, Japan, on
the seventh of June. The body recently
arrived in San Francisco by the regular
passenger and mail steamer on the line be,
tween that city and Japan and China.
Lieutenant Emory (who has been connected
with that squadron for the past three years.
is on Admiral Pennock's staff, and was
charged with the duty of bringing the re-
mains on. He immediately left with them
for Norfolk, Virginia, where the interment
will take place. Mrs. Pennock was highly
gifted woman, and was well known to the
best social circles in Baltimore, Washington
and Virginia. She was sister of the late
Admiral Farragut, and . daughter of Mr..
Logall, for many years nsvy psymaster at
Norfolk.-Baltim0re 6asette.

The Sugar Crop of 1874.

Mr.. w. l.. Larimore, of Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, an extensive and wealthy sugar
planter, was on Change yesterday. lnas-
much as many OF the newspapers have
been predicting for some time past that the
sugar growing interests of Louisiana were
we'll nigh ruined by the overlooking of the
sugar lands, and that the crop OF 1874
would be far below the volume Of the crop
Of 1873, we applied to MIR. Larimore for
information upon the trustwOrthiness OF the
above reports. Mr.. LarimOre stated that
he had jourpeyed from Baton Rouge to
New Orleans, aud had information OF inte-
rior points, and had no such accounts OF
the sugar crop that could lead him to any
such conclusion. The distance from
Baton Rouge to New Orleans was 100
miles, and on both sides of the river
nothing but sugar was raised. The talk
about short crops from overflow was a
mistake. Some fields we're ovelhowed, but
no great harm has been done. From Baton
Rouge to the mouth of Red river sugar and
cotton were produced, and the sugar was
doing splendidly. The crop now growing
was the best since the ending Of the war.
The acreage was very largely increased
and the stand was heavy. He believed
that more sugar would be raised in the
United States this year than in 1873. As
for talk about taxes, that was all bosh.
He owned 5000 acres Of land near Baton
Rouge, worth $500 per acre, and he only
paid 5000 tax per annum on it. Let
Eastern men come in. They can make $iO0
per acre net. They can buy land at $25
per acre and raise 800 per acre in sugar.
The molasses will pay all expenscs.-N.

Third.Term Politics Southwark.

There are daily additions to the list of
white politicians in the South who have
been induced by some means to declare in
favor of the election of General Grant to
the Presidency. The first OF these was Gov
ernOr Kemper, of Virginia, who seems to
have half committed himself to the third
term. Now, ex Governor Hebert, of Louis
lana, who is q representative of the native
born white population OF the South, express
es the opinion that the South stands greatly
in need of defense against the legislation
and governments forced upon her OF late
years, and he looks to General Grant more
than to any other man for that relief. He
expresses the opinion that if the Presiden
tial election were to take place the present
year, and General Grant was running as an
independent candidate, he would beat the
candidates of both the great parties in the
South.
The Washington Republican publishes a
letter from another Conservative leader in
Virginia, in which the objections to a third
term are cOmbatted. He denies that Wash
ington made a second term the limit OF the
Office. because in his farewell address Wash
ington distinctly stated that, if the condition
of public affairs demanded it, he would not
hesitate to accept third election. This
writer states that it was Thomas Jefferson
who originated the twO-term limitation. The
and pernicious philosophy Of Jefferson and
adopt the older and wiser school Of Wash
ington and the constitution. that the people
may and ought to elect President Grant for
third term, if the public interest demands
it." He thinks the public interests do de-
mand it.
Judge c. A. Lochrane, ex-Chief Justice Of
Georgia, though disclaiming any party
affiliations, has written a letter accepting
membership in the Grant Club Of Atlanta,
Georgia, on the understanding that the
club has for its object the election of Presi-
dent Grant for a third term. He declares
that the election Of Thurman or Hendricks
would be no affirmance of the principles of
Southern Democracy. He believes tine
President is opposed to the civil rights bill
now before Congress, and, "feeling assured
of his strength and craftsmanship. and
agreeing with him on the financial situation
and on the disposition which has marked
his course in the recognition of State rights, y
he warmly espouses the Presidents re-
election as essential to the future prosperity
of the South.
1t appears, therefore, that Mr.. Henry
WattersOn was not SO wild as cannibal
when he said that the South would support
the third term nonsense. Where thHre Is
80 much smoke it is seasonable to assume
that there is some fire, and this frequent
declaration by public men Of the recon
structed States tmainly Democrats, by the
way) in favor Of the third term can hardly
be put-up job.-Chicdgo Tribune.

Musket Drill in Kentucky.

Up in Breathitt county, Kentucky, they
are not having a very nice time at present.
During the war gang of guerrillas cap
tured some spoil. At the end Of it they
quarreled over the division, separated into
two parties, organized a vendetta and have
bushwhacked each other ever since. Sew
eral have been killed on either side, but
there are plenty more to keep the game up.
On July Is, Curtiss Jett was killed, and one
Jerry Little has good chance to get the
best Of nine buckshot lodged in him. Jack
Hargine killed A. w. Smith few days
later. People don't like to 60 into corn
fields much because nearly overy one has
got double barrel in it.
This lawlessness is likely to 60 cn; for
when, in June, Judge Randall arrived to
open the Circuit Court, twenty-five of these
ruffians marched in and stacked arms in
front of the bench. Naturally the judge
left. Then these high-toned gentlemen so
intimidated the grand jury that that they
did not dare to find any Indictments. How
long the good people Of the county, if there
are any there, will stand it, remains to be
seen.

Hay Seed, Cheese and Politicians.

A letter from Vermont to the New York
Times contains the astounding information
that, while the State is in the glory of her
midsummer, her good people, none idle, few
with great wealth, fewer still in poverty
and all freer, happier and more virtuous
than those of any other State, engaged in
the primitive employments of making hay
and butter and cheese-yet there are some
of these distrusted specimens Of the genus
homo, the politicians. This is sad, but
then Vermont can not expect to
have all that makes life dear,
as detailed in full above, without
little alloy. True, State is a poor field
for politician where the people think they
are helping to free Uncle Tom by advocat-
ing third term for General Grant, but
that is better than keeping up the war,
concealed by a tree, at the back of the vic.
tim. Louisiana has most fertile soil tor
politicians, but it seems even the rocks Of
Vermont, generally pried apart to raise a
blade Of grass, can support some two or
three. Let Vermont be consoled. AL the
politicians in the country can not hurt heI
as long as she keeps enough producers OF
butter and choose to eat up the hay she
makes.

Deserved Compliment.

Mr.. John H. Stone writes from Clinton
to the New York Tribune letter in which
he reviews the condition of the cclored
people since emancipation. In the aggre-
gate they are much improved. One-tourth
are getting rich, two-fourths are industri-
GUS, and the evil tendencies Of the other
fourth have been produced by bad teach
ings. He is very severe on judges and Off
cials of central Louisiana, but he has a
good word for the last appointee of Gov
ernor Kellogg, whom he thus mentions:
I am happy to say things in this partieu-
lar are much improved. Governor kellogg
has lately appointed a stranger, Judge
Dewing, who seems to be a man of culture
ali. he seems to appreciate the needs of the
community. and understands that crime
has been fostered by license, and that the
very salvation of the country depends upon
the strict and impartial administration of
the criminal law.

Law and Order.

In another column will be found letter
written by the wife Of the Spaniard Manu-!
Nunez, who was recently murdered short
distance from here. If the statements IL
the comm munication are true, more dis.
graceful outrage has never been perpetrated
in the parish of Caddo, and reflects dis
grace not only upon the authors, but upon
all who connive at their escape. The com
mon excuse of incompetency of officials
falls fiat to the ground. SO far as the parish
of CaddO is concerned. The gentlemen
whose duty it is to investigate this matter
are men of ability and enjoy the confidence
of the whole community, and it is a sacred
duty imposed upon them to sift out the
particulars of this barbarOus and fiendish
outrage, and they alone are responsible for
every day the murderers are allowed to be
at large. The murder was reported by the
Shreveport Times and by it extenuated as
political necessity and natural conse-
quence Of certain supposed actions OF the
murdered man. The charges brought
against him Of supplying arms to the col
Ored people has not been proved, but on
the contrary. his wife says he was mur-
dered in cold blood and then plum
dered. If the parish Of CaddO desires
to make a reputation for lawlessness
and outrage, uneGnaled by any State
or parish in the Union, let her 60 on in this

not the desire OF wish of the thinking and
better portion of the community, and to
them we appeal, to use every exertlon, and

acts Of lawlessnes ceased, and something

"Melanchoiy Symptoms.,,

This is what the Galveston Neus, the
chief Democratic paper of Texas. says OF
the White League lunacy in Louisiana:
One of the organs Of the White League
in Louisiana denounces the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange for making, incidentally,
a statistical exhibit of the productive re-
suits of black labor employed on cotton
plantations in the nine cotton growing
States. 1t says: "Must we bow down the
head to the cold calculation of the Cotton
Exchangel What care they in New Orleans
who suffers, provided the crops are made
by somebody and shipped to them to grow
every planter in Louisiana is bankrupt, 50
long as laber can be procured to cultivate
the mortgaged plantations at profit to the
factors and the banks 7"
Another organ of the League. on the as
sumption that the blacks are solidly uni ted
in political hostility, threatening the ruin
of honest and substantial white citizens,
advises the latter. both in city and country,
to discard black labor of every description,
and employ none but white labOrers. There
could scarcely be sadder proof of hopeless
perplexity of mind and desperation OF
temper than such utterances afford. If it is
madness, wears of misrule aad oppression
are accountable for it.
Few cool and impartial observers will
dispute that the cotton exchanges In the
South are of decided advantage to the
Southern cotton planting interest. As for
disusing black labor, to the extent to which
it has been employed heretofore, it was
accepted simply because it was the best,
under the circumstances, to be had. To
reject it, while the same circumstances con-
uinue, would be u the nature OF economical
suicide. Where its place could not be at
once supplied with white labor, industrial
paralysis would supervene; and where it
was 60 replaced the increased demand for
white laber would greatly raise wages and
proportionately reduce the yield from plant
Nor is it reasonable to suppose that the
negroes in Louisiana would be less nOxious
as political element in state of enforced
idleness. All experience proves that there
10 no more fruitful source Of all manner of
dangerous vices than such condition.
