his case, which, in substance, has already been
given in the DEMOCRAT.

Baton Rouge, and also the Himel levee, in the
parish of st. James, and to-day advertise for
proposals for the construction Of the work.

Pitkin, John Ray, Esq, and Mr.. Hutchinson,
returned from Washington yesterday and the
day before, and on yesterday the two first named
visited the Custom House to convey that grain of
anxious to hear the latest
STRAIGHT FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
One of those named reported to Collector King
that he had it from Gen. Anderson that Judge
Kings name would be submitted to the Sena to
either yesterday or to-day. Consequently, the
collector expects to hear from the Senate to-day.
In this connection it is limited that there is an
other dark horse in the field for the Collectorship
in the person Of Hon. P. J. Kennedy, member
of the House of Representatives, who it is said
has petition on file at the White House for the
position, and has been Endorsed by large num-
Der OF merchants, bankers and business men and
it may be that, in Of the rejection of Messrs.
King, Packard and Lawrence, the latest candidate
might secure the appointment.

winter, was generally considered the

from the first. He is also planter Of no small
means, but has not, up to the present time. ex-
hibited any remarkable political ambition. nor
was it known until day or two ago that he was
after Judge Kings position.
Some Of the private information reported to
have been received from Washington by Law
rences friends yesterday was to the effect that
another objection had been urged at Washing
ton against Judge King, which was the fact that
he was one Of
KELLoGG's SUPREME COURT JUDGES,
who held the curt that attempted to GUST the
civil sheriff. and afterwards held court in the
State House, but whether or not this will have
any great effect further than locating him for q
short time in the same building with the Return
ing Board remains to be seen.
United States Marshal Wharton informs his
friends that his name will go through ''like hot
Cakes" and Lewis, naval officer, writes that he
shall soon start for home, but further than that
information nothing was heard yesterday direct

BIII for the Disposal of Timber
 Lands

WASHINGTON, December 6.-The Commissioner of the General Land Office is preparing a bill for the sale or disposal of timber and timber lands which will provide for the withdrawal of all lands chiefly valuable for timber and not suitable for agricultural pur- poses from the operation of the Home stead and Preemption laws and from liability to be taken by any of the va rious kinds of land scrip heretofore provided for by law. The bill will also provide for the sale of timber of certain kinds, reserving the soil with a view to the renewal of forests.
 The Commissioners bill seems a step in the right direction; but if the sale of timber is to be done by roam ing special agents, then it will be little better than a blackmailing affair, and lead to sorry results. If the bill should become a law, and the sale of timber be given to men established in busI- ness in the Territory, who could not afford to do wrong, and subject them selves to the just wrath of the indus trIous people, as can and do the itiner- ant agent, the bill would perhaps oper- ate wisely; otherwise badly. The with drawal from entry under the Home stead and Preemption laws, is, we think a proper step; the value of the other step will depend upon its appli- cation, and by whom.

More About Growing Alfalfa.

Alfalfa has been given a fair trial by MT Clark. Notwithstanding what the Folsom Tidings had stated years ago, MT. Clark sowed his first alfalfa upon the low land along a creek, and found, as we predicted, that when the tap-root reached the clay subsoil the plant died. He now has two large fields on the common, red, side-hill lands, which are really beautiful, and the old gen. tleman assured us as we passed over these green meadows with hlm a few days since, that we were not out of the way in the statement heretofore made, that one acre of alfalfa was worth more than ten of the stuff ordinarily cut for hay In these hills,-Foothills Tidings, December 1.
