THE SUGAR AND RICE CROPS OF
LOUISIANA.

We have been obligingly furnished by Mr..
L. Bouchereau with his statement of the
sugar and rice crops made in Louisiana in
1875 76, from which we gain interesting facts
and figures. There were LA, 146 hhds of
sugar made in the State, which went beyond
all expectations and estimates The previous
season 1859 hhds we're produced. The
present crop is the largest since the war, with
the exception of that Of 1870, which amounted
to la, 881 hhds.
The rice crop of 1855 reached 1863 264
bbls, or 3S, $780, 72O pounds net, which, though,
the largest ever made in the State, did not
turn out as large as was anticipated. The
falling eff Of this crop was owing to the rivers
and bayous having in May and June, receded
below irrigation point, and the plant conse-
quently suffered.
We take the following report Of the pro,
duction Of sugar and rice in the parishes of
Louisiana, from Mr. Bouchereau's book:

The contumacious Kilbourne finds impris.
onment in the common all of Washington
very unpleasant to q person of his refined
tastes and luxurious habits. He doesn't want
to tell what he knows about the real estate
pool, but he does want to get out of Jail He
finds that the ourance to which he is sub.
jected is very vile. indeed; quite incompati-
BILE. in fact with the feelings Of gentleman.
Therefore he proposes to the House, not to
tell what he knows, but to turn him over to
the judicial authorities Of the District. Kill
bourne thinks that tho District courts would
do the proper thing by him-thst is to say,
they would open the doors Of his prison ana
bid him arise and 60 forth. No doubt they
would, for those courts are ENTIRELY under the
influence of the Administration, and the
Administration only Furnishes the witnesses
who tell the truth-not those who refuse to
speak. We presume that the House will not
comply with Mr.. Kilbournes request, how
ever reasonable that refined and re.icent gem
tlemsn may consider it to be. He will prob
ably discover tina. the s.libsrty Of the citizen"
which he declares to be violated in his case,

protect an6theR against punishment for crime

The Contiaentals and the Centennial.

Though it has been generally understood
that the Continentals intended to visit
Philadelphia during the grand Centennial
celebration, no formal action on the subject

held on that occasion, and the following

FOR NORTON.

The New York Times publishes . specia
Washington Telegram which declares that 81
gentleman from Louisiana" has written ,
private letter to Republican member Of tn
House containing what is regarded as valua
BILE information concerning the attitude of the
negroes on the Presidential question. The
name Of this Louisiana gentleman is with.
held-though why his identity should be
wrapped in mystery does not clearly appear.
Perhaps it is considered that even SO common
piece of news as the opinion Of the negroes
in regard to the Presidency would be open to
suspicion if the name of its author were
known. As general thing the authority Of
Louisiana gentlemen of the Republican
persuasion is not regarded by the average
citizen as peculiarly Trustworthy on any sub
ject from counting votes to "outrage" re-
ports, inclusive. Howsoever these things
be, the reconcile and anonymous
gentleman aforesaid informs his Republican
friend, in confidential way, that the Louisi-
ana negroes, and. all the other negroes are for
Morton. They will not listen to any name
but Morton's; they have mace q sort Of
fetish of Morton, and pray to him over night
for the expected forty acres of land and the
long desired mule of which they have
dreamed, and for which they have voted for
the last eight years. According to the
q nonymous Louisiana gentleman the negroes
are going to have no nonsense about this
t hing-they don't intend that Packard shall
boss them, or that Kellogg shall wheedle
them into the support Of anybody but Nor
ton; and as for the "poor white trash who
are conspiring for Blaine, or Conkling, they
may as well retire to the congenial society of
their carpet-bags
This confidential information the Repub.
lican Congressman who received it fastened
10 communicate to the correspondent Of the
New York Times by whom, with much SOL
emnity, it is telegraphed to his paper. All Of
Viii Oh must be very inspiring to MI. Morton
provided bis negro friends do not force him
% take Pinchback as . companion on the |
icket-and very dispiriting to Blaine, who
will have found his efforts to rival Morton in |
he "bloody shirt" business reduced to the
owest ebb Of futility

There is sort Of stupid question that
keeps circulating around among the papers
Every time Radical editor has nothing else
to say he breaks out with q question like this
"Nearly three months ana half Democ-
racy has controlled one wing of the capitol.
What has it done? ?"
What could it do? What can one house of
Congress do when the other stands ready
to defeat all sound legislation? Suppose the
question could be inverted. The Repub!i-
cans have had control of the other wing of
the capitol. What have they done? Abso-
lutely nothing.
Nov, the House has done something, and
would have done more, but for the tactics of
the Republicans, under Blaine, who have
" filibustered" all their efforts. But the
country sowes the House at least this debt of
Gz1kitude: It has made war on personal gov
sFnment and fraud IN high places with great
effect. It is cleansing the Republican party,
even should it fail to build up it's own. It has
passed law for the protection Of witnesses
from the executive 'strategy." It has sent
that bill to the Senate. The Senate has not
taken it up, and will not pass it. So that is
at least one thing that the House has done
more than the Senate. Montgomery Aduer-

Gen. Boynton's charge against Mr.. C1ymer,
that he refused to pursue investigations
where Democrats were implicated has been
traced to its source, and it is found that there
is nothing in tin short that it was lie
manufactured out of the whole cloth for
which Gen. Boynton. on his own confession
is responsible. The malicious and ground.
less report was traced back through B aynton
himself, wilson, Shallebarger, Col. Grafton
and Gen. Kiddoo, the latter being given as
positive authority. Gen. Kiddoo has now
testified and pronounces Boynton's story as
false and groundless from beginning to end.

DIRECT FEDERAL TAXES.

Nine Southern States have since the clos
of the war paid internal revenue tax to tn
amount Of $157, s49, 645: Virginia contributes
$45, O97, 900. Louisiana s3l, IA, 0O0 Tennessee
sig, 1876, OO0, Alabama S14, sos, 900, North Ca
rolina s13, 1876. 900, Mississippi SO, 300. 900
Texas nearly $9,OOO,OOO, South Carolin,
$1,000, 900, and West Virginia 81, 723, 900.
The total collections of excise and STAMP
taxes since 1868 have been 50, 0S6, 500, 7O3. O
this amount s7S9, 264, S65 has been collected
since 1870.
The expense of collecting excise and othe,
direct federal taxes may be inferred from the
fact that in the State of Georgia, for the year
ending June 80, 1875, there was colIected.the
sum Of 1888, 226, at direct expense of s45,-
800 for four collectors, seventeen deputy col
lectors, and q few clerks and special deputies,
to which must be added an indirect expense
Of $4,000, paid to United States marshals
and their deputies, in fees and expenses for
making arrests of violators of the revenue
laws, transporting and subsisting prisoners,
producing witnesses, and other legal expenses
connected Herewith. The cost of collection
is thus seen to amount to about thirty per
cent of the sum collected, or that the gov
eminent gets the benefit Of less than seventy
dollars out Of every hundred dollars paid by
the citizens Of Georgia.
There are many marshals and deputy mar
shals employed similarly throughout the
United States, whose fees and expenses
amounted, for the last year fully reported, to
s2,393, 68l. A large proportion of these e1-
penses and fees have accrued in enforcing the
revenue laws.
Mn more densely settled regions the com
parative cost of collecting excise and stamp
taxes is probably less, but when the stealage
is taken into account, it may be assumed,
without exaggeration, that not more than two
dollars reach the safes of the Treasury De-
partment out of every three dollars paid by
the people.
The worst evil attendant upon the excise
and stamp system is the influence it has on
public morals. 1t makes m1ltitudes of persons
ready and eager to defraud the government
out Of the proceeds Of tax which they be-
lieve to- be excessive and unjust
1t affords innumerable opportunities to
evade the payment Of excise and stamp
duties, and begets q prevalent DISPOSE
ton among men of loose ideas to
look on this petty swindling with indif-
ference. The fraud corresponds nearly
with that of smuggling imports, and is
only one degree nearer to downright theft;
but while the crime Of smuggling is limited |
to seaport towns, accessible shores Of the sea,
and the borders, that of swindling the gov.
eminent out of the proceeds of its internal
revenue is taught in every city, town and
village throughout the Republic.
It is much to be hoped that this pestilent
remnant of the war policy may not be per-
oetuated, but that the honesty and good sense
# the masses, acting through reformed gov
may secure enough Of economy in
he affairs of the governmental enable it to
dispense with this most odious form of tax
ltion

WHAT HAS BECOME OF OUR GOLD ?

On the 17th Of March the Senate agreed to
re solution presented by Mr.. Boutwell, direct
ing the Secretary Of the Treasury to furnish
the Senate with . statement Of the annual
product of gold and silver in the United
States from the year l845 to the year 1875
inclusive; also, the annual import and export
of gold from the beginning of the government
to tn present time; also, similar statement
of the product of gold and silver in other par.s
of the world from 1916 to 1875 inclusive; also,
an estimate of the amount of gold and silver
coin and bullion in the United States at the
present time; also, to show what the amount
Of gold in the Treasury Is at this date, after
deducting the actual demands thereon.
The information called for by the resolu-
ton ought to be readily supplied from the
records of the Treasury Department, and,
when placed before the Senate, it will enable
that body to act in an intelligent manner on
questions relating to the currency.
There has been, of course, q large eff1ux of
gold and silver from this country ever since
the discovery Of the mines Of California. Be.
fore that date the coined and circulating gold
Of the United States was on an equilibrium
with the metallic circulation of all other
countries. The product Of American mines
disturbed this equilibrium, 80 that the out
flow Of gold represented from year to year
nearly the amount of production, until
the war caused the use of paper
money. From that time until the pres
emit the export of gold and silver
has exceeded from year to year the annual
production Of our mines. In this respect
gold has become an exportable merchandise.
As in the case Of our surplus staples We have
exported what We did not want at home, SO in
the case of gold the surplus over home de-
mand was sent abroad. Gold is the product
Of labor, and its production and expectation
come under the general classification. When
ever the want of European fabrics in this
country subsidies, and the European demand
for American products largely increases, there
viii again be balance Of trade in our favor,
and gold will come back to Us, in obedience
% the same Law by which it has been aimed
away.

An interior Alabama contemporary sets forth
in the following paragraph the advantages of
grape culture in the South:
Vines, six years transplanted, have this year
yielded an average of three bushels to each
vine, and we shall be disappointed if they do
not double every year for many years in the
future We are credibly informed that vine
is growing near Mobile which has produced
$50 bushels Of grapes in year, and we know
that vines ten years old have given and will
give 80 bushels per vine
A bushel of grapes will give from three to
three and half gallons Of juice, according to
ripeness. By simple calculation, based upon
the above facts, it can easily be seen that
grape culture Is exceedingly profitable. Six
year old vines will yield three bushels of
grapes, which will make ten gallons Of wne
Thirty-six vines to the acre would give $50
gallons Of wine, worth. at present prices, S72O.
According to the statement given above, a ten
year old vineyard will yield 1880 bushels, or
5000 gallons Of wine per acre, worth $72OO in
the market. If you want to make money
plant grape vines.
