Still for Drainage.

The result of the election held
last Saturday by the property
holders of Thibodaux to decide
whether or not they would coll
sent to a tax to cover any deficit
in the fund set aside to meet the
subscription to the capital stock
of the TerrebOnne and LatOurche
Drainage Company il extremely
gratifying to all who hope and
look for the material Improvement
OF Our country.
The Importance Of this work
cannot be oven estimated ; it is
one which should appeal to every
citizen, and especially those who
own lands drained by the Terre-
bonnie and tributary streams and
swamps. The lead and example
that the patriotic citizeus of Thi-
bOdaux have set in this matter
should have the effect Of rOusing
all to sense Ut their duty and
dispelIing the apathy which has
SO long prevailed here in regard
to public improvements. 1t shows
ut least that the people OF this
town are willing to pay all, and
more than all, of their share OF
the expense of improvement, and
it is rarely indeed that u cOmmu
nifty of property holders vote q
tax on themselves unanimously

Encouragement for Plan
terS.

From present appearances it
would seem that fate is at last tir
ed OF prosecuting u sugar plan
ters, and that the most sanguine
expectations of this class will be
realized this year both as to guam
tily and prices Of crops. There
never has been more f1attering
prospect than ut this time for all
our farmers, and the latest esti-
mates Ot the sugar crops OF the
world place it 10 much below the
usual Yield that already the mar.
ket shows the effect Of the antici
pated deficiency in higher prices
ana for more active demand ut
all refining centres F.; it is we'll
known TO most OF our readers the
sugar crop OF Louisiana is scarce
~ more than one twelfth of the
quantity consumed annually in
the United States alone, and the
great suplliers OF the zane sugars
af the world are the West india
Island. the PHILIPPINE and other
eastern Islands and some pOrri.nS
Of South America, The crops ut
three Countries are reported short
as follows
Estimated deficiency of the Gu
ban crops, about $50 1000 tons.
Estimated deficiency in Philli
pine Island, about II 5000 tons.
There is no increase over last
years crop in other cane produ-
cling countries ; the decrease i'll
imports into the United States as
compared with last year is 100,
600 tons.
The Ne~ York Grocer, the best
authority IN this country on the
subject reports the stock Of sugar
now OIL hand in the United States
as 60 per cent less than ut this
time last year, ana none to spare
for import from England.
The stock of Louisiana sugars
in all hands now is not over 1000
bids. There il always a demand
for our sugars and molasses fol-
the retail trade. and when it is
remembered that no considerable
quantity of refining sugars can
be imported until next January
and that consequently our croI
will in all probability go in upon
bare market and a strong de
mand it certainly looks as though
prices should be higher than fol
years past.

CLARK COUNTY, INDIANA, J
Aug. IA, 1876. !

Mr.. Leris Guion, TAi1odaur
Dear sir-Thep political prospect
here is grand.In this vicinity there
are about 4 dozen Republicans
who have openly abandoned their
party and come out for Tilden and
Hendricks. The RAIDS are despon
dent-are not at all confident,
whilst the Democrats are jubilaDt
and at work, determined to win.
The great fight here is over Blue
James (Williams) for Governor.
Hc made his first speech in Salem,
forty miles from here, on Satur
day night. AT the close, six old
RAIDS went up On the stand and
gave him their hand, stating that
he would do for them. and they
would follow him in the future.
From every indication we will
carry Indiana easily, and if Will

simple explanation will dissipate.
From time immemoral it has
been the custom in this District
to give each parish composing it
five votes in the District COnven-

accident, and not the result Of de
