Burglary.
The Bulletin Office Broken into and
Robbed.

About 4:3O A. NJ. Tuesday, while the
Bulletin was at press, two thieves, hav-
ing their cupidity aroused by the growing
popularity of this paper, and thinking they
could make good haul, forced the side
door of the front Office open with Ratchet
and other tools, and entering, forced the
drawers of the desk open and distracted
therefrom the small change that had been
left there the night before.
Before they had been there many minutes,
the young man who attends to the office
happened to come to the Office, and hearing
the noise inside, ran to the side door, which
was open, the two thieves (white men) see
ing him, made desperate rush upon him
and knocked him down, and before he could
recover himself, the wouldbe robbers had
made good their escape.

A Congressman Moves to
Adjourn.

Yesterday afternoon there was consider
able excl ment in the nelghborhood of the
corner of Canal and Rampant, caused by a
personal encounter between Congressman
Sypher and Mr.. Walter Regain, stenOgraph-
er. 1t appears that Sypher engaged Mr.
Regan to take certain testimony in the coi-
tested election case of Effingham Lawrence
against himself, belowsthe city. The testi-
mony was taken, and Mr.. Regain sent in his
bill for 500. Sypher refused to give more
than $50, but meeting the reporter in the
Custom House, he told him to wait until he
returned and he would settle the bill. The
reporter waited and waited, but no Con-
gresham, and when he met Sypher in the
evening at the corner of Canal and Ram
part, he called him aside to request settle
ment A few words passed, when Mr..
Regain raised his umbrella and vas about to
plunge it down Sypher's throat and then
open it, but pOliceman's arm staid the
threatened blow, and Louisiana has still a

Mr.. Regain we feel assured Sypher has met
a foeman worthy of his trip-hammers.

THE LEVEES.
We Are Still In Danger.
From Yesterdays Evening Edition

From Yesterdays Evening Editon.l
At Jena and Cadiz street the water is still
washing over the banks, but no immediate
danger is there apprehended At Carrollton
the levees are still holding out, but the
water is over a number Of places one inch or
less.
At Cambronne street, the Levee Company
is busy repairing cave, which was serious
at one time this morning, but at the present
will serve to relieve the pressure in 'front.'
but the city's danger is not entirely passed.
At the Lacroix plantation break three
feet in wild h has been made by the water,
and as the levee is only some twelve inches
in width on top disastrous consequences are
anticipated. On all sides the people are
rendering all the service they can to strength
en- suspicious spots, and to aid the hands,
and we hope tomorrow to chronicle the
crisis past.
From an interview with Gov. Kellogg
this morning, with regard to the expedition
| which has gone down the river for the pur-
pose of inspecting the levees ut st. Bernard,
we lear at an early hour to-day Gems
JEFF. Thompson and Longstreet left the city
on ting bound for the lower coast.
The object in view is a thorough examina-
ton of the levees in St. Bernard parish, at
or about the point Of the old Noyes Canal.
for the purpose of inquiring into the advis-
ability and practicability of cutting the lev
~. a., .,.l lat
to the immense volume Of wafer from the
river, now threatening to overflow that dis
trict and thereby save the lower parishes
from the impending disaster.
About fifty hands are now at work under
City Surveyor Bell on the levee between
Carrollton and Labarris road, and from
Mason's plantation to Sparensberg planta-
ton.
Three miles above that point there are
fifty hands from the Jackson Railroad, and
xenty- five hands from the Levee Company,
under Mithoff, Levee Contractor, repairing
the old levee to protect the new levee,
which has been recently erected.
Between Labarris road and Mason's plan
tation the levees are firm and in good con-
dition. Messrs. Fischer & Sons at the
Picayune Saw Mills, in Carrollton, are 1urn-
ishlng lumber for the purpose Of bracing
the levees.
Though at the time of writing, strong
wind was blowing, yet with the present
attention there is no immediate danger ap-
pretended.
The levees from Gretna to the Company
Canal are in a very bad condition, and need
Immediate attention.

SUGAR DISTINGUISHING TRADE
OF BALTIMORE.

The amOunnt Of sugar SO far received this
year being less than during the same time
Of last y ear, fear has been expressed in some
quarters that the Cuban sugar supply Is
failing. The following statitistic will show
at a glance that notwithstanding the trouble
and dissension in the Queen of the Antilles,
the sugar crop has increased ia each of the
preceding past two years, and from all at
vices will not be short this season. The
total cane production Of the Island of Cuba
in 1871 was 547 ,179 tons in 1872, 7OS, 2N
tons, and in 1873. 796, 179 tons. There was
exported from Cuba in 1873, ia, $50 tons of
sugar, of which 231 1856 tons, or 1874 per
cent, went to Europe, while 1888 tons,
or 81 .O5 per cent, came to the United States.
In m0lasses, of the 183, 1888 tons exported
from Cuba 1879 tons, OF 63.76 per cent,
came to this country.
The number of hOgsheads Of sugar received
in the United States from Havana and Ma
tanzas, the two largest Cuban pOlt-, during
the year 1873 was $685. 97, or SO, 493 hhds.
more than in 1872, and 1882 hhds. more
than in 1871. Of this quantity there came
to Baltimore in 1873 no less than q, 1863
hhds., which was 1927 hhds. more than in
1872, and TO- 154 hhds. more than in 1871. By
official figures there were 1908 hhds. more
Of sugar imported from Cuba to Baltimore
during the year 1873 than to the three ports
of Boston, Philadelphia and Portland COM
bined. In box sugars from the above Cuban
ports, the amount received at Baltimore
during 1873 was less than the amount re-
ceived in each of the two preceding years,
but the total amount Of box sugar received
| at Baltimore from Cuban ports during the
past three years is very near as much as the
aggregate amounts received at Philadelphia,
Boston and Portland combined during the
| same time.
The total amount of molasses ship ped in
the United States from Havana, Matanzas
and Cuba, during the year 1873, was 1885,
than in 1873, and 43, 02O more than in 1871.
There were received at Baltimore from
these thvee ports during the year 1873,
16, 800 moasses, 1903 hhds more than
| in ls72 aud over twice the amount import
ed in 1871. While Baltim ore, from the Off
cial figures, has not imported as much mo-
lasses as Boston OF Philadelpl ia, taking tn,
amount received from New Orleans, which
is more available than a foreign port-Balti-
more, in each of the past three years, has
marketed and consumed more mOlassrs than
any port in the United States, except New
York What has been shown of imports
from Cuba is much the same with those i'm
ported from Porto Rico and Demerara, and
taking the figures of the United States Gus
toms rs authority, Baltimore stands next TO
New York in the extent Of her sugar trade.
In this connection it may be stated that the
several large sugar retineries in this city at
the present time are working to their
utmost capacity, with no evidence OF dimin-
ished business such as might be expected
from the large importations of raw goods.

The Revenue Raid.
Not a Temperance Crusade.

For some time past the revenue authori-
ties have entertained suspicious that frauds
were being perpetrated in the distllation of
whisky III the neighborhood of our city, and
accordingly they dispatched one of their
most skillful aids here to ferret the matter
leries for some three days, it was deter
mined to close certain ones at once and ac-
cordingly the special agents OF the Internal
Revenue Department, escorted by a squad
Of ten United States regulars, on Wednes-
day night started out on a raid.
! At about 10 o'clock they crossed the river
to Algiers and proceeded up the bank to
Ferenbachs dIstillery Surrounding the
building, ali entry was made. They report
that some fifty barrels of whisky were dis
covered in an old shed without the required
stamps, which at once they seized. Then
Hammond's was visited This is the larg est
distillery in the South and has a capacity
far beyond any of the others hereabouts. A
keeper was Immediately placed over the
property, and Henderson's and Walshe' s
fell before the advancing phalanx. The
preparations had been made very quietly,
and every crack by which the news of the
intended raid could possibly escape, was
stopped; in fact, many of the owners were
| ignorant Of the occupation until this
morning.
When the news first spread, it was gener-
Ill l;c1n 1,,,t
soon made palpable, the public were not
a little curious, as the owners Of several OF
| these distlleries are men Of position here.
They disclaim entirely any knowledge OF
having violated the law, and are at loss to
account for this sudden movement. On the
other side, the revenue authorities claim
| that the proofs are ample and that the ILL
| fringement of the statute so open and bold,
that but little time was needed to confirm
the suspicious previously entertained. They
say that for months past this staue of things
has been going on, and that when the cases
come before the courts ample proof will be
| be adduccd.
| 1t is we'll known that for some time past
IA war has been going on between the West
ern dist.llers and those of New Orleans
Whisky manufactured here, it was claimed,
could be put Oh tie market in Memphis as
cheap as from Cincinnati, and some say the
Western men have set this movement on
| foot. There is no doubt that it was made
through orders from Washington and did
not originate in the granite building here
as the gentleman who has managed the
case came directly here from Pennsy lvania
under orders last week. 1t may be, ana we
are inclined to believe, that the affair will
turn out to be job put up on our distiIlers
and we very much doubt if a case will be
made against them. The matter has dis
agreeable smack of The celebrated Jayne
cases in New York, and it may be that there
is gross injustice contemplated to our peo
pie. We shall investigate it.
