peared from public notice with the
alleged collapse of his wonderful ma
chine, bnt he has as suddenly come
to the surface again and announces a
greater achievement than ever. He
now claims to have nearly compile
ted a new machine, weighing twenty
tons, made of wrought iron and cast
steel at cost of $50, 900, with which
he has produced, from single quart
of water, pressure of II 900 pounds
to the inch, only stopping there be-
cause the metal was strained nearly
to its full capacity. Mr.. Koely AYERS
that he will Sc make quart of water

Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines has pro-
posed to the city authorities of New
Orleans to relinquish her claim to the
property recently awarded to her by
Judgment of the United States Cir
cult Court, for and in consideration
of the sum of 50, $50, 39l. Most of this
property was purchased from the city,
under its warranty, by the present
holders, aud in the event of Mrs.
Gaines dispossessing those parties,
the city would be liable to them for
the value of their several possessions.
Mrs. Gaines does not desire to pro-
coed against these innocent third par
ties, hence her prof1er of compro-
mise which is claimed to be advan-
tageons to the city's interests.

THE DAMAGED COTTON oRoP.

Untoward events of the the past
two weeks have sadly altered the
bright prospect of heavy cotton
crop which so recently gladdened the
hearts of planters and others inter-
ested in the product of the Southern
staple. From nearly every cotton
growing parish in this State the dis
heartening intelligence comes that
the combined ravages of rust, worms,
ETC., will reduce the anticipated yield
one-half, while in many localities che
reduction will be still greater. A
small percentage of planters had wise
ly made preparation for the possible
advent of that destructive pest, the
army worm, and by the prompt APP
plication of Paris green and other
poisons when the worms did appear,
protected their crops in a great meas
ure from the disaster which overlook
the majority. 1t may be that the
damage has been in many cases over
estimated, and there is abundant
precedent for such a superstition, but.
it is not to be doubted that the antici-
patton of one of the finest crops of
cotton ever gathered in this State has
been cruelty nipped in the bud.
1t is matter for congratulation,
however, that nearly all the farmers
of Louisiana have raised sufficient
corn and meat to carry them through
the year.

PAR0cHIAL INDEBTEDNESS.

East Baton Rouge parish has debt
of some magnitude and the Police
Jury is graphing with the question
of its diminution. A pretty fair, or
unfair, start has been made by re-
solving to repudiate one half of the
debt-that is, to scale all warrants
fifty per cent.-but parties who hold
claims representing bona ide out
lay of money, or services equivalent
to the face value of their certificates,
protest loudly against their sweeping,
indiscriminate reduction, and propose
to test the matter in the courts if the
Jury insists upon carrying ont its
scheme. In Ascension we have a reg
istered Indebtedness of $4,000, and
it is due to the holders of certificates
as well as to the credit of the parish,
that some provision should be made
for the payment of just claims, many
of which have been pending for sew
eral years. In the present condition
of laws bearing upon parochial in
debtedness creditors are left almost
wholly without recourse to enforce
recognition and payment of their
claims, as the act authorizing the
levy of Judgment taxes has. been re-
pealed and Police Juries are prohibit
ted from levying any tax beyond the
ten mill limit without the consent of
majority in value of parish tax pay
ers-whieh is about equivalent to an
unconditional prohibition.

VOLUME YII.--NuMRER /.

completed the sixth year of its exist
eRce, and to-day we send forth the
first number of new volume, enter
ing the Threshold of another years
experiences with unaagging interest
in the prosecution of our enterprise
and unchanged confidence in its per-
manency and success.
1t is matter of pride to us-and
we trust the feeling is pardonable un-
der the circumstances-that oar paper
has not only survived the crushing
defeat of the political party to which
we adhered defeat which has. re-
suited in the suspension of nearly all
the former Republican journals of
Louisiana-but that under the new
regime it retains its previous prestige
and is steadily increasing the number
of its readers and advertising patrons.
We attribute this primarily to the fact
that we have exerted ourselves to
make the CHIEF a necessity to the
community and worthy of its assumed
title, A Wide-Aw Home News
paper - that we have devoted its
columns to the discussion and promo
ton of local affairs and interests as
superior to all others; have aimed to
keep abreast the stream of passing
events, at home and abroad; and
even while advocating political opin-
ions opposed to those of majority of
our patrons, We have sought to retain
their respect BY moderate and cour-
teous discussion, always according to
others the liberty of opinion and sin
cerity Of conviction which we claimed
for ourselves.
Regarding the future, we can only
say that no effort will be spared to
make the CHIEF worthy of the con-
tinued support and increased patron
age of the reading and business pub
lie. We seek to publish a newspaper
so true to its proper character that
even those who read no other journal
may be averagely well informed upon
the news of the day, domestic and |
foreign, and thoroughly posted rela-
tive to local events and upon topics
which most nearly affect or appertain
to this State and parish. And regard
ing our political status, we desire to
state empbatically that the CHIEF has
no intention of wasting its energies
fighting windmills or advocating a
lost cause. We Lave accepted the sit
uation fully, acknowledged the total
and permanent defeat of the party
with which we were lately associated,
md hold ourselves free to discuss po-
itical measures and questions solely
IN the light of their present or tatu1e
cations to the interests OF the peo-T
lie, without regard to former preju-
lees or disappointments.
Thankful to readers and advertisers
or past favors, we ask continuance
hereof, and solicit the patronage of
hose who have not heretofore hon.
red us in this regard.
