of France and Spain. The government
of the United States adjudicated all the
land titles in Louisiana at the date Of her
acquisition, and confirmed all found valid
by issuing patents. There are many per-
sons in New Orleans familiar with the
formality of the public land grants from
entry to patent. Has any one ever seen
any federal patent which contained con-
dition that the land. granted should be
kept in 'tillable" or other condition?
Some time about 1850 Congress released
and conveyed to the riparian States GER
tain lands subject to overflow. This
grant amounted to millions Of acres. 1t
was gratuitous grant. These lands are
still the property OF the grantee States.
Can it be contended that the federal gov
ernment is under obligations, after having
given away these lands. to protect the
occupants, to see that the lands were
tillable and capable of being occupied?
If SO, it can be shown by the patent. 1t
has even been disputed by the city of
New Orleans and the hill parishes that
they are not bound to pay quota to pro-
tect the lands of the alluvial proprietors
of Louisiana.
Should q representative OF the levee in
terest base demand upon such reasoning
as that TO which we have referred? If he
should support it by denouncing the
drunken rabble and the stupid sot, and
the peripatetic vagabonds who are said to
head and constitute the Republican party,
it would be perfectly consistent with the
political conduct of the Democratic or
gans, but it would neither tend to con-
vince, nor we imagine to alarm, the ad-
ministration or the party to which such
epithets have been applied or such argu-
ments addressed.
We say this in the interest of success
ful application. Politically we can have
no objection to the use of scurrility or dis
play of ignorance in our antag onists and
antipodes. Such shameful epithets dis
gust those who respect the amenities of
life. They alarm those who have some
thing at stake in the application. Such
persons know that slang and slander ap-
piled to these from whom we ask anything
is neither advantageous nor respectful.

The COMING HARvEsT.-The Cncin.
matt Price Current, which is usually well
informed on such matters, says:
Taking the country at large, we may
say that there never was a more favorable
season for almost everything which the
land produces. The wool clip is doubtless
the largest ever sheared in the country.
The winter wheat was injured somewhat
in the West, but the deficiency, if there is
any, will be neutralized by the largely in
creased breadstuffs produced in the South
ern States, which will reduce the demand
from that section upon the West, and all
other grain promises exceedingly we'll. Z"
The cotton crop at the South holds out an
equally cheering prospect, and the proba-
bilities in regard to root crops are also
encouraging. In Europe, too, the crops
are uniformly good, SO that we may expect
only a moderately export demand for
breadstuffs. With such prospects there is
reason to expect continued low prices for
the staff of life, and other articles must
come down to their normal level. A year
IN which tile crops are good cannot be
altogether bad one for business, and
though the long looked for revival of trade
may not be realized this year, solid foun.
dation will be laid whereupon to rear q
new commercial superstructure that shall
be enduring. 1.-THE crops throughout the
world turn out according to their present
promise it viii be impossible for the pres.
ent depressed state Of trade to continue
beyond the close of the present year.
With good crops we may defy commercial
panics, and look forward with hope to o
prosperous future for business all over the
world. ~
