lue of ''free sugar" would increase pro-
duction with wonderful rapidity, not only
in those particular counties and islands. but
many others in the Pacific ocean and along
it's line of coast, into which millions of
Cinnamon could be introduced, and sugar
produced at much less expense than it
can be anywhere on the Atlantic coast or
islands Of the Caribbean Sea. Even in
Cuba, with her slave labor-snd it is the
probability that those large producing
countries may with greater influence
and equal Justice claim the same
immunity for their products, and destroy
those semi-trophical States OF this Union,
returning prosperity, produce sufficient to
supply the demand Of the whole country.
The total receipts Of foreign sugar in 1875
was CO. 672 tons, and it is not an unreasOn-
able estimate to make, that Louisiana,
Florida and Texas could, under proper con-
ditions of labor and fully developed re-
sources, produce that quantity or more, per
annum, and sell it at as low prices as i'm
ported sugars could be sold.
To pay for these sugars, cofees, hides,
fruit and other products imported by the
United States from the West India Islands,
Spanish and South American countries OF
the Atlantic coast, the United States sends
about $l3O, ,0O0, 900, gold, annually.
The average rate of duties levied upon
our products in those countries is about
eighty per cent, which is almost equivalent
to exclusion. -,
It was my purpose to show the large
number of.people engaged in the culture
of sugar and rice in this State, the amount
dustr,es to which they give life and en-
ployment, the quantities of pork, bacon,
-four, corn and many other articles Of
Western produce, mules, cattle, ETC., the
machinery, agricultural Implements, the
coal. the cotton fabrics, and the innumer-
able articles for which we annually pay
cash, thereby contributing our full quota
of material wealth and importance to our
sister States to . much greater degree no
doubt than those countries do, especially
slave-holding Cuba, for whom We are to be
sacrificed.
But want of time and other pressing en-
gagements have prevented, and l very re.
iuctantly submit the foregoing remarks,
knowing full we'll that they are inadequate
to do Justice to the magnitude and import
ance OF the subject.
On motion, the following telegram wat
dispatched to Senator West:
New ORLEANS, May 25, 1876.

we'll, 80 that q new man can not cOAno IL @Au
mako n new deal all round, is too much for
some of these members. They hunger for
the spoils. They haven't had any al
winter, and now that there is an opportu-
nifty to put their half starved friends hang
ing about Washington in Office, the HOUSE
thinks of denying them the opportunity
The ex. ex.Confederates in Congress are ANXIOUS
to pension q large number of their friends on
the governments, who are clamorous, out
there are not enough places in the gi1t OF
the House to 20 round. Already the nun
prv horde are uttering fierce denunciar
tions against their Democratic and ex-Con-
federate friends because office they nave
asked and Office they have not obtained.
Sore-headed Democrats of Washington are
swearing they will decspitate the official
heads of those chief House officers, be-
cause. through the Democracy OF this DIS
trict. the party of that name came INTO
power they say, and their claims have not
been recognized. The fair sex. who claim
sympathy with the ''lost cause" poae' ol
their claims upon the Democratic HOUSE
for some of the Offices, and yet they are
denied the great boon of official position
for their families and friends.
The discussion of appropriation blis IN
the House proceeds slowly, but with great
care, There is . vast amount of import
snce centered in some items in these bills,
which ON their face look Insignificant, but
when they are enacted into laws they carry
with thew jobs in the interest of monopo-
lies and corporations, and against the peo-
pie.

who will hot feel that this system Of per-
petual pupilage, under the form Of freedom,
is bitter mockery and indignity.
We have heard much lately in regard to
the "dark horse" which was to appear in
the political arena this year and decide the
contest Political managers of all parties
have been looking for this clark horse.'
Well, he has made. his appearance at last!

mans school, and white mans graveyard
propose to do about itl
Iwould say word in the way of correc-
ton of one important statement of the
World in the above article. Mr.. Down
ing's letter was in reply to the hade,
pendent (Protestant), and was published
in the Boston Pilot (Catholic). Bishop
Brown, of the African Methodist Epi-
scopal Church, sent communication to
the Independent in which he discussed
the question now discussed by Mr. Blyden.
The Independent treated the bishops letter
as q scare. Tho editor proceeded on the
basis that the 100000 negroes in the
Americas amounted to nothing, that the Ro-
man hierarchy in the New World amounted
to nothing, and that Catholic South Amer
lea was of mo consequence" and go on to
the end of the chapter. To this Mr.. Down
ing replied. If am not mistaken his re-
ply, or q reply written by some one else,
was refused publication by the Independent.
Mr.. Downing then wrote his communication
to the Boston Pilot (Cstholic). From that
communication has sprung . discussion
which will make the negro question, as it
relates to the cause Of Professionalism, the

The Iowa City Daily Press says it
is willing to negotiate with young
man who desires to offer his services
for salary of immense proportions
and an interest in the business. In
other words we want boy, a youth,
devil! Now you know, or ought
to, and if you don't the following
will show what is needed: A boy
from ten to twelve years old, whose
parents live in the city, one who is
willing to run errands, to sweep,
build fires, and make himself useful.
Smartness is good thing in boy,
but it spoils him for the printing
business, therefore we want one who
is trifle dull, who don't swear, drink,
chew, or smoke, and who don't know
the ace of spades from little niger !;
who has never read Don Juan, nor
heard of the Ne,c York Weekly, who
doesn't know whether Beadle's Dime
Novels are selected from Jeremy Tay-
lor's sermons or from Jean Jacques
Rosseau's confessions, in word, one
who don't know SO much, but that he
can learn more. A boy whose Sun
day school teacher will como with
him, in her best clothes and newest
bonnet, to vouch for his uprightness,
his morals, and perfection. To the
young man who combines all these
excellencics the Office is prepared to
offer the not too excessive remunera-
ton OF IS per month, for one year !;
at the expiration of which time a
council of war will be held as to
whether it will be best to kill or dis
charge him. Let the boy come, let
him bring his references in the shape
of letters, let him come with an earn
est desire to work and learn, and the
shop will try and make printer Of
him, if he will stay six years. A boy
who parts his hair in the middle bet
ter keep on the other side of the
street.

The Southern Claims Au.
thentic Aggregate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Studious ell.
dcavors have been made to mislead
the public as to the amount of claims
which were introduced into the House
of Representatives last winter. Dem.
ocratic speakers maintain that no con.
siderable number of claims was
passed. This is SO, but it was an cleo.
Pioneering trick. The bills were pur.
posely and avowcdly withheld until
after the Presidential campaign. The
official books Of the House have not
been accessible to Republicans, but
from advance sheets Of the Congress
sional Record of the session, it is now
possible to give the number and the
amount of these claims definitely. The
result is astounding.
The total sum proposed to be appro-
priated is $4O0, OOO, 600 more than our
national debt, and amounts to $2,5O3, :
622,3S6. This was done at the first
session of the present Congress in one
House. The classification of these
claims is as follows: Rebuilding
levees on the Mississippi River, $5,-
100000; rebuilding bridges in West
Virginia, 100000; refund Of cotton
tax, $68, on, 900 ; supplies used or de-
stroyed, 81 ,2O5, 163, 900; use and occu-
patton of property, 81, 2O5, l63, 600; re-
turn of proceeds Of captured proper
ty, $9, coo, 600; refund and remission
of direct tax, 81, 53,SS6; disloyal mail
contractors, $350,O0O; disloyal claim
ants, under the repeal of Section 3,
4SO of the Revised Statutes, 100000 ;
private relief bills, $4,77O, 500; total
$500, 622, 1885, Despatch to Ne,c York

Ola sows for Breeders.

Experienced growers ofswine have
demonstrated by actual trial and
year of observation, that breeding
by young sows-that is, those not yet
matured in their own growth-should
be utterly discouraged. No SOW
should be permitted to have the care
and nourishing of litter of pigs I'M
til her body has attained its full pro-
portions. Nature is the same in its
economy, whether manifested to-
wards the animate or inanimate.-
The tree or vine should not be per-
mitted to bear much, if any, fruit UNI
til it has reached condition that all
its energies arc not required to grow
branches and top. A young mother
if still under her natural development
will withhold from her litter much
that she might do for them did she
not consume by her own needs and
demands percentage that should go
to them. Tho tendency and the re-
suit of this is the dwarfing Of the
breed. If continued in the same fam
lily for few generations, they will
fall off from fifty TO ono hundred
pounds.
An increased age of sow is no OBJ
lection, Better keep her until she is
three or four years old before breed
ing be permitted; and having first
secured the stock or kind you desire
to grow, keep her as breeder until
she is dozen or even fifteen years
old, as pigs from old sows will aver
age much heavier than those from
yOilnU ones

Return of a Polar Ship.

A little sensation in commerce has
been developed by the return a few
days ago of the schooner Era, which
sailed last June, after much secrecy
of preparation, for the Arctic regions,
or, to be particular, Cumberland In
let. Although it was declared at the
time that the vessel was to search for
specimens Of Arctic fauna, flora, and
minerals for the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, she went on money making
voyage, and has returned with about
fifteen tons of mica, much of it in
large blocks, some of which are eigh-
teen by twenty inches. Tho expedi-
ton was under the command of
Lieutenant Mentzcr, of the United
States navy, who obtained leave of
absence from the government, and
was accompanied by Captain Bud
dington and EsquimauX Joe. Lieut..
Mcntzcr discovered the trace of this
mica mine while searching for the
wrecked Polaris. He also discovered
traces of graphite. The results of the
expedition are kept a secret. The
mica obtained would, at market rates,
make cargo of great value. Whcth-
err any graphite is on board or not, is
unknown.

WHY Hrs MILL STOPPED. - The
Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat says
"a few days since Mr.. Evan Slower,
Of Spring Valley, Bucks county, while
working in his mill, noticed that the
machinery was not working as it
should do and kept getting slower.
Finally it almost stopped. Heimmc-
diately proceeded to investigate the
matter and ascertain tho cause. He
raised the stone, inspected the ma
chinery, and did other things with
out avail. Finally he went to tho
water cato and raised it up. Find
ing that tho water did not flow as it
should he inserted his arm in the
race, and, to his horror, pulled ont
one of his own children, aged about
three years. II was, to all appear
ances, dead, but as he was carrying it
to the house its nose began to bleed,
and the color came back to its face.
The child was resuscitated, and is at
present as well as if nothing had ever
happened. How long the little child
had been in the water no one knows"

General shernan's Sentiments

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-Gen. Sher-
man is credited with being conserva-
tive in, politics, and, according to the
democratic pr SIS, is opposed to send
ing troops to South Carolina. His
public and private utteranccs are
inconsistent with such statements.
To-day, shortly after protractcd
interview with the President, relative
to the movement Of troops, General
Sherman said: "South Carolina has
caused trouble enough in this coun-
try, and ought to be the last state to
create disturbance now" Last night
too, at the Reunion, after deprccating
any attempt to connect politics with
the proceedings of the meeting Of the
Army Of the Tennessee, General
Sherman said in substance that if ono
man or one thousand men or ten mil
lions Of people raise their hands
against the old Union, or against the
old flag, he knew that he himself and
tho Army of tho Tennessee would be
quick to avenge the aflront. This
sentiment was received with an en-
thusiastic applause that could not be
subdued for many minutes.

THREE DAYS FIGHTING.

LONDON, Oct. 23.--The Standards
dispatch from Belgrade says the Turk
ish forces in Servia resumed the
offensive Thursday, and battle be-
gan which lasted three days. It con-
sisted of two distinct operations, one
in front of Saitschar, and the other
on positions commanding Deligrad.
In the latter movement the Turks
captured on Thursday thirteen re-
doubts, great quantities of arms, and
many prisoners.
THE FIGHT WAS LONG AND BLOODY.
The Turks continued to advance.
On Saturday there was further fight
ing. Hafiz and Abdul Pasha opened
fire before Djunis, FAIL Pasha shelled
Alexinatz. The Servian forces at
Djunis under Horvatovich were
routed with great loss. There ale
fears that Djunis, which is the key to
the road through the Morava Valley,
will fall into the hands of the Turks.
THE TURKS PARTIALLY VICTORIOUS.
The Times dispatch from Belgrade
reports that in the fight near Salt
schar, the Turks gained the day, hav.
ing captured Bolcvatz. Should the
Turks make good their double adj
vance on Paratkin, the Russo-Seryian
army would be placed in serious
position. The affair is not yet decid-
