THE GREAT LOG SALE.-Accord-
ing to advertisement, u. 8. Mar
shall Wharton commencedw last
Friday, at the Courthouse, the sale
Of the logs sequestersd in the suit
Of the United States Va. Joseph
Hampton ct ais, pending in the
U. S. Circuit Court in New Or
leans. The sale occupied four
days, closing last Tuesday.
Special agent M. A. Carter. on
whose affidavit the writ of seques-
trstion issued, and under whose
directions the entire log raid has
been conducted, bid in nearly all
the logs in the name Of
the government. A large num-
Der of mill and log men attended
the sale, but there was no compe-
tition between them. It became
so evident, from the start, that
1.-The government intended to
buy in nearly oil the logs, or run
the priees above the means of our
impoverished people to pay in
cash, (the sale was for cash on the
spot that after o few efforts there
was little or nobidding except Mr..
iCayter's stereotyped bid of ten
cents per leg, from which he
dropped sometimes 10 Eve cents,
when it became apparent that no
one would bid against him. The
sale was made according to about
ninety inventories, and embraced
atotal ofeighty-nipe thonsand and
forty-eieht logs, of which al bnt
eight thousand five hundred and
twenty-aix were hid in BY 1.-THE
government" nearly all Of them

Tho few persons who bosght logs
IN tide water were compelled to
pay about seventy cents, perlog.

is a great discredit. 1t Is q re-
upirement of nature that there
sbonld be such law. Those who
have entire control of their own
time, or who have little or nothing
to do. do not feel SO much the ne
cessity of such q law rs do en-
ployees generally, and especially
those in stores, where nearly all
business ON Sunday is transacted.
The latter are unanimous for such
a law, and their employers also.
Any day in the seven would do
for day of rest but the majority
governs, md in what are called
Christian countries Sunday is the
day fixed, ont of respect to the
prevailing religious faith. The
want of q Sunday law here has
long been 1elt and discussed, ana
attempts made to have one passed
by the Police Jury but it seems
that moral courage to break IN on
the old established custom OF
Sunday traffic, has been lacking
till now. We believe the Police
Jury determined Of their own ac-
cord to pass law; for which they
deserve so much more credit.
When it is passed and goes into
operation there will be great re-
lief among the merchants and
their employees for they are the
slaves of the present CUSTOM
