The Log Imbroglio.

1t seems TINT there must have been
some misunderstanding about the
Calcasieu log business. The mill
men complain that injustice has
been done them and they are the
parties who suffer most. We give
the views of two prominent mill
owners from that parish:
Messrs. III. C. Gill and A. D..
Perkins state as follows: We are
millmen on this Calcasieu river,
and have been for several years.
Recently statements have been
published in the New Orleans
Times prejudioial to us, and in
Justice to ourselves we desire to
give fhe following fncts: The
timber that is brought to our mills
is always paid for sometimes in
provisions and sometimes in cash,
but lately the business was en-
tirely in cash.
M. A. Carter, who is the govern
ment agent, first visited iCalcasien
sas q tourist desiring to hunt alIi-
gators, and he remained there
some four weeks when he I'M
bosomed himself to G few parties.
and it was through these that the
threats of gunboats and troops
were first made known. The logs
now, even admitting they were in
market, would not be worth
more than 100000, sup
posing there we're 10000 of them
seized. The linformations filed in
the United States Courts are
against parties who never were
in the log business. Hampton is
now working for wages and Geo.
Reeves is Methodist minister.
The whole business of our dis
trict is now stopped, not wheel
is turning nor II mill going, and
all labor is idle. The parish is
atagnant, and merchants can not
pay their bills underthis condition
OF things.
The statements relative to the
seizure of our pine are not correct,
for our tees are not more than
forty feet, instead of $50 as stated
on the average.-[N.O. Democrat.
