The Bayou Bartholomew Appro.
priatiOn.

The Morebouse Clarion, whose
editor we knew had the opportunity
of knowing good deal about this
job, gives additional light on the
subject, while it confirms what we
said about it. Is it not time the
people themselves were making some
effort to save themselves from plunder,
as their officers appear to be leagued
with their plunderers, with a deter
mination to grind the very life out of
them ? Here is what the Clarion
says:
The Board Of Audit has allowed
the Hon Frank Morey's claim on the
bartholomew contract and Mr.. Morey
will get S42, 900 for the work that has
not been done in cleaning out the
BAYOU.
We live within two miles and a
half Of the Bayou and know precisely
the amount of work that has been
done on the job. Our neighbor, the
Ricbland Beacon, is about right in
saying that the outlay for the work
done would hardly amount to one
thousand dollars. In several places
the work done resulted in a positive
injury to the navigation of the stream,
as certain trees which were cut down
and left lying with their branches on
them, foated out, lodged in the chan
mel and formed serious obstrudtions.
AS q general thing, We believe in the
State meeting promptly its appropri-
ations without interpOslng difficulties
10 the claims of contractors but
where the stipula,ions of the contract
have not been complied with, of course
the same is void when the State is
party, just as it would be held if
individuals had contracted But it is
strange how slow this commonplace
truth is in striking our Representa-
tives, and House Comhlittees and
Boards. 1t has been so common

who have actually done some work.
But however unjust it may be to set

enough to think that they shouldn't
he paid unless they are just and the
money paid is for value received.
The captain Of any Bayou boat can
testify that the navigation Of the
stream, far from having been improv-
ed, has actually suffered injury.
We would like to see Mr.. Morey
get bis money for the "lrouble aud
expense he has been put TO-" but,
caceat emptor, and if he made bad
bargain with his eyes open, and with
these apparent defects in his purchase,
it is nothing but just that he should
suffer by it. 1t seems, though, he
will be paid for his work. We will
state, however, that the Bayou still
needs cleaning out some more-and
we want the job. We will bid low
for it-dirt cheap

THE PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN DAI-
RIES

RIES.
The statistics of the American
dairies have been compiled by Mr..
Fairchild, President Of the Butter
and Cheese Exchange. In Mr..
Fairchild's rep ,rt it is shown that the
consumption of butter in the United
States, is I,O4O,O0O,0O0 pounds per
annum, for table use alone, and it is
estimated that one-third more nav be
added for culinary purposes, making
a total home consumption OF about
1887, 100000 pounds. The exports
from the United States and Canada
are about 100000 pounds, making
an annual product Of l,402, 900, 900
pounds, which, at an average value of
80 cents per pound, amounts to S42O,-
100000. The present production of
cheese is currently estimated to be
about 300,00O,000 pounds. The
receipts at New York, for 1874, were
2,046,575 boxes, and the shipments
were $3.50, 400 boxes. The exports
from the United States ports, for the
fiscal year ending June 30Ih, 1874,
were 90,6ll,057 pounds, and the
exports from the Dominion Of Canada
were %, 3,lS3,223 pounds, exclusive Of

The cordial welcome given the
Vice President in the South, and the
proposition to celebrate with floral
offerings the virtues Of the soldiers of
the late war, Federal as well as Con-
federate, are Indications that the Bit
terness of feeling that survived
hostiltes is dying out. The fact that
we are one people, living under the
same flag, aud having common inter-
ests and destiny as Nation, is no
longer questioned. If the politicians
can arrnnge their programmes for the
future without including the war
issues, the day is not distant when all
the people will recall the civil conflict
only as a historic incident IN the life
of the Nation, to be regretted for the
calamities that attended it, and re-
called with pride for the splendid
valor displayed on both sides during
the contest.-Cihcinadti Commercial.

that the capital OF the company is only SOL

formed a thick coat, iE many instances
entirely covering he ground.
