The bill introduced in Congress the other
day authorizing mail steamship service be-
tween this city and certain foreign ports, is
the duplicate of a bill introduced in the Senate
during the third session Of the Forty second
Congress. 1t provides that the Postmaster
General shall make arrangements for semi
monthly steamship service between New Or
leans and Havana, Belize in Honduras, Grey
town, in Nicaragua, Liman, in Costa Riea and
Aspinwall, in the United States of Colombia
the contract to be for the term of ten years,
and a compensation of $4,000 to be paid per
annum for this service the by government.

THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DEoEMBER a. 1877
OF New York to grab 100000 Of the public
money for an exclusively local imnrnyement

OF New York to grab $5o0,00O OF the public
money for an exclusively local improvement,
affecting the interests of that city alone. A
House committee has had the matter before
1t. and though there Is little doubt that the
| 100000 will be appropriated as a starter for
the grand scheme to connect Long Island
sound with the Hudson river by q channel
which will cost at least $2,OOO,O0O, all OF which
the general government will pay, we have
not heard word Of protest from any quar-
ter. 1t seems, indeed to be 50 much mat
ter Of course that New York and other East
ern cities are to have anything they may
claim from the national treasury, that this
proposed two-million grab is scarcely dis
cussed.
or course, the Times, Herald, Tribune and
other New York papers regard this rs all
right; of course, no Eastern Democrat, OPP
posed on general principles to aid for internal
improvements, will ever be heard against this
little plan to steal S2,OOO,0OO for local New
York city Improvement
1t is very different, however, when any
proposition Is made to appropriate money for
the Mississippi levees or for the Improvement
OF the Mississippi river. Such appropriations
are asked for in the interest of the trade and
agricultural requirements OF sixteen States
and nearly half the people OF the Union.
Yet, at every such proposition, there goes up
from the Eastern press and Eastern politi-
clans yell of virtuous indignation 80 loud
and wild that 1t seems as il
- all the flends from Heaven that fell
Had pealed the banner-cry of hell"
The people of the Mississippi Valley are
growing weary Of this combined system of
grabbing and hypocrisy, and they demand
the just and needed aid to which their great
interests are entitled.

A DIFFERENCE OF LOCALITY.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes as follows:
"a hearing was given to-day by the House
Commerce Committee to a representative OF
the Harlem river improvement plan, by which
Long Island Sound Is proposed to be connect
ed with the Hudson river by channel $50 feet
wide and Is feet deep. The hearing was upon
the bill introduced several we ks since by
Representative Willis, appropriating $500, 900
in aid of the improvement. A comparatively
full showing was made to the committee of
the scheme, and a considerable number of
papers, which have been extensively circulate
ed in the West and numerously signed were
presented to the committee. An appropria-
ton for this purpose was Incorporated
in the river and harbor bill, which
failed to become law in the Forty-fourth
Congress. The committee are disposed to
look favorably upon the proposition, and will
probably incorporate in their forthcoming
estimates for river and harbor purposes an
allowance of about S25O,000 to commence the
improvement in accordance with Gen. New
toms survey. 1t is estimated that 50, 100000
and two and half years time will be required
to carry out Gen. Newton's plan. This
project is of such Importance to the COM
merce OF New York that the merchants would
do well to memorialiZe Congress on the sub
ject soon after the holidays, and ask the sup
port OF the New York delegation for an APP
preparation. The first appropriation ought
not to be less than $500. 900.
Here, we observe, is a pleasant little project

A HAPPY LAND.

Mr. John L. Lindsey, tax collector of Cam
| eron parish, who is in the city, gives us q
pleasing account Of his parish. The parish
does not owe dollar; 1t pays all It's bills in
cash and there is not single delinquent on
the tax roll. There are about 300 voters
in this parish, while lands within it's boun-
daries extremely productive, may be pur-
chased at very low price. These lands yield q
bale and more of cotton or from twenty-five
to thirty bushels of corn to the acre The
orange fourishes In great luxuriance in Cam
eron parish, and many young trees are com
ing on, promising In short time magnifi-
cent orange crop.
Stock may be raised in great numbers at
little cost and with very moderate attention.
The farmers raise their own hogs, and the
mutton Of Cameron, we are told, has O deli
cate and delicious flavor. Bordering the gulf,
fish and oysters are to be had In abundance.
The only obstacle to the rapid settlement of
this beautiful and productive parish Is It's
isolated situation. Mr.. Lindsey, who lives
near Leesburg, the parish seat, to reach this
city, had to take sailboat on Johnson's
Bayou, travel In that to Sabine Lake, cross
the lake and go up the Sabine river to the
town OF Orange. There he took tho train to
Houston; from Houston he went to Calves
ton, and thence by steamer to this city.
1t required five days to make the trip, while
with railroad from here to Orange, where
the Houston road terminates, the trip could
be made In twenty hours. All the trade of
Cameron and nearly all the lumber of south
western Louisiana goes to Galveston, owing
to the difficulty of reaching New Orleans.
Mr.. Lindsey certainly gives us in his sketch
OF Cameron picture Of Arcadian beauty and

REGISTER!

We wish to remind the Democratic voters
OF the Tenth and Eleventh Wards, composing
the Fourth Senatorial District, that the Law
requires an entirely new registration. We
beg OF them to remember that old registra.
tion papers are worthless, and not to permit
the time for re-onrollment as voters to pass
unimproveds Our control of the Senate Is not
80 assured as to permit of any neglect in this
matter, and we hope our friends then will be
careful that there are no accidents resulting
from neglect Indifference or over-confdenoe.
The seat vacated by Mr.. Eustis must be
filled by a true and staunch man, and we
have no doubt such one will be placed in
nomination, and his election must be assured.

The report of the expenses of the Hampton
government for the past year, as compared
with the expenses Of previous years under
Radical rule, shows the most extraordinary
and unprecedented reduction ever made in
any State. The cost of a session of the Leg
lslature, which was as high as $712,249 In
1872, was only $s9,456 during the past year,
although the Legislature was much longer in
session, and met also In extra session; that
-, under Democratic rule the Legislative ex-
penses Of South Carolina are less than 10 per
cent Of what they were under Radical rule.
The salaries fell from $780, in 1873 to
ss3 715 In 1877.
The total expenses compare as follows: 1879,
$1 1885, 7o; 1873, ST. ,o46, 967: 1877, $685., s29.

The House Committee on Education and
Labor have reported favorably on the bill to
reimburse william and Mary College, sit
uated at Williamsburg, Va, for property de-
stroyed by the Federal soldiers, September
9th, 1862. William and Mary College is the
second oldest college in this country; 1t
graduated no less than four Presidents,
among them George Washington, and Is
thoroughly identified with the history of the
Old Dominion. If these are not sufficient
grounds for this generous act, other
circumstances in the colleges history
are. 1t was occupied by the British
as barracks during the revolutionary
war, yet when they left 1t they were particu-
larly scrupulous that all the books and treas
ures should be left just as they were found,
and when the building was occupied by the
American and French troops, after their evac-
uation, everything was found in the most
perfect order. While occupied by the French
the building accidentally caught fire and was
burned to the ground with loss of many of
Its treasures. Louis XVI Immediately gave a
large sum OF money towards rebuilding it, and
1t was completely restored and re-established
at the expense Of the French government.
When England and France had done this
much for the college, the government Of the
United States, which owed so much to the
seat of learning that trained Washington,
could scarcely do less than pay for what it
had destroyed. 1t Is strange that the govern
ment should have hesitated as long as 1t has
in doing what was only its duty. The
bill reimbursing the college for it's losses will
be reported back to Congress, when it reas-
sembles after the holidays, and will, without
doubt be unanimously adopted.

The War.

TIL ere is but little reliable
news from abroad otherthan what
has heretofore been published.
If any important changes have
been made in tho aspect of af-
fairs concerning. the Turco-Rus-
sian war they have not been re-
ported here. A budget of news
TO the effect that many of the
Turks have been bribed, has
been circulated, but whctht +
there be any real foundation for
it is uncertain. The report is,
it was believed at Constantine
| pie, and also believed that there
Was more or less treachery a.
mong the officials there. 1t is,
we think, highly probable that
a want of confidence, as we'll as
4 lack Of harmony and efficiency
of organization exist among the
Turkish authorities and armies,
and on the whole they are in no
very good condition. We are
also of opinion the Russians are
not realizing their anticipations,
and are meeting with greater
difficulties than they looked for.
Besides, disease prevails to a
very great extent in the army
on the Danube, and will be more
fatal as the season advapces.
The city of Kars still held
out at the last adviccs, though
its capture seemed on'y a ques-
ton Of time. If it falls, Erzer-
oum will likely make but feeble
resistance, and there will be lit
tie in the way between that and
Constantinople, except a long
tiresome march over rough roads
and through a hot, barren. DESC
late country, in which the health
and lives Of the soldiers will be
greatly imperiled.
The political excitement in
France continues with little or
no abatement. President Nc
IMahon has sent 4 message to
the Senate dissolving the Cham
bers. The excitement caused
thereby is very great, and there
are signs of aneth,r revolution.
But there is no telling what
may happen with that people.

A Threatened General Uprising.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-A
Portland dispatch was received
here to-day from Walla- w ALA,
to the effect that 4 messenger
had arrived there who lives on
Alpowa River, fifteen miles be-
low Lewiston. lie reports that
the Norton murder was led by
Has has cut, Chief Of Wa-wa-
wi, and Colouse Indians, and
says there are many more killed
than reported. He says a man
stopped at his place and told
him that Chief Joseph had de-
clarcd he had warriors enough
to whip all the soldiers at Forts
Lapwai and Walla- Walla, if
they were at one post, let alone
two. People at Lewiston, the
messenger says, blame General
Howard and the Indian Agent
Monteith for the whole trouble.
There are more killed than
named in the dispatches sent,
and a difficulty far worse than
reported. The trouble did not
originate about a horse trade,
but it was a regular outbreak.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-
DIR. Dorr has received a letter,
dated Lewiston, Goth, which
says the Indians have killed ev-
cry man Of Salmon River, but
let the women and children live.

suppose it is our turn at the
wheel again. AS we are all de-
pendent on the farmers they are
the first class noticed. We are
moving on tolerabIy we'll Gas a
general thing) in the agricul-
tural business; almost every one
has concluded that it is no dis
grace to bear the brown hand
OF the farmer, nor to follow the
plow for a livelihood and earn
his bread by the sweat of the
brow. Our crops are quite
small, the spring being cool and
very dry through May, but wet
enough now. Wheat is toIera-
bly, good in places; other parts,
inferior. Times about as usual.
Provisions tolera6ly plentiful;
corn and wheat demand "a very
good price; bacon, low down.
The general health is very good.
One Of our old, well-known
and respected citizens, John b.
Holt, Of Athens, died recently.
He leaves many friends behind.
Athens is improving to some ex-
tent. There are several bust
ness houses there that are do
ing good business, while others
seem to be doing bnt little.
There are two drug stores. The
commerce is very good, consid-
ering everything. The Athens
Post, our county paper. comes
prompt TO time and gives us the
county news and a good deal
from other quarters. We have
regular preaching generally
throughout the county and Sun
day schools have been opened,
and we hope will continue
throughout the year. Our pub
lie schools are opening and a
general interest is being mani
tested in educating the rising
generation. Your paper comes
to time and brings the news
from old Lincoln and elsewhere.
We always look for your coun-
ty news first, as we wish to hear
from our old homestead. 1t
seems that our friend Timothy

old maxim says, "you joke when
you please, if You please when
you joke" So if it don't please
Mr.. Timothy, we will not joke
him. We meant it all in fun
and hope he will take it that
way. We think it quite a COM
pliment (unless Timothy was
insinuating) to be called the
star Of Alabama, and should we
revolve around Fayetteville we
will call and see you. Our best
wishes to you and your readers.

DR.. Mcclure is still engaged
in his praiseworthy efforts TO
secure the extension of the rail-
road to Petersburg. Every
month that the extension is de-
layed, Marshall county loses
money. According TO Maj.
Sykes calculations, and we
have heard no one undertake to
contradict him, this loss every
year amounts TO thousands of
dollars more than enough to
build the road. His calcula-
ton is based upon the extern
sion of the road to Fayetteville,
of which there is no doubt pro-
vided the road is built to Pc
tersburg. A competition will
spring mp of which this county
will receive the benefit. The

pY A party of revenue Of
ficers raided White, Jackson,
Overton and Putnam counties
last week, destroying 10000
gallons of beer, 100 gallons of
whiskey, 500 gallons of sing
lings, besides capturing twelve
prisoners. While moving up
Dismal Hollow, Jackson coun-
ty, the officers say they were
attacked by Q body of men sup
posed to be illicit distillers.
They returned the fire and sub
scquently heard that an illicit
distiller named Sam johnson
had been MORALLY wounded,
dying four hours afterwards,
and that two men named Nor
gan were severely hurt.
One Of the revenue party,
had one Of his fingers shot off,
while another's horse was shot
in the flank.
Upon another occasion they
had some prisoners in a private
house guarding them, when a.
bout forty-five men came up and
sent a message demanding that
they be released, and swearing
that they would otherwise at
tack and rout the whole party.
Deputy Marshal Davis scnt back
word shat if they attacked the
revenue officers the latter would
first kill the prisoners and fight
it OFT to the bitter end. This
had the desired effect, and the
wild cat squad withdrew.
Among the distilleries de-
stroyed were those of Ran
dolph Smallwood, who is said
to be a Deputy United States
Revenue Collector; Stone
Greenwood, and a man named
johnson.

~ The action of Judge
Hilton in refusing to receive the
family of MIR. Joseph Seligman
at the Grand Union Hotel, Sar-
atoga, is being severely COM
mented on by the Hebrews of
New York City. Judge Hill
toms action was certainly unad-
vised, and he will not be sus-
tanned in it. The question of
a mans religion, so long as he
conducts himself gentlemen,
should not be considered. This
is a country that offers the
greatest liberty to all creeds
and classes, and in attempting
to discriminate against any sect
Judge Hilton has made a gricv-
GUS error.
