THE NEW ORLEANs DEMOORAT SATURDAY. JUNE O. 1877

November 1, and the crop should be
gathered before the middle OF De-
cember.
Under the present system OF manu-
featuring sugar. inaugurated by John
Dymond, Esq, and generally adopted,
small farmers have comparatively as
good chances as large planters. This
involves the purchase OF cane from
farmers by large planters at five dollars
per ton, delivered at the mill Extern
sive fields OF cane have yielded thirty
hve tons to the acre, and an average
yield OF twenty-five tons may always be
depended upon. The three men who
have raised thirty acres OF cane must
save about four Of the poorest for the next
seasons planting. They should thus
have marketable crop OF twenty-six
acres or $50 tons of cane, which. at five
dollars per ton, would give gross re-
turn OF $3250. At the same time they
have produced the main part of their
daily supplies, and feed and forage for
their teams for a year. We say these
results can be accomplished by steady,
competent and industrious farmers, who
can make nearly all OF the above gross
return net saving.
1t Is tho ought by many that white men
are unable to work In the sugar fields OF
Louisiana. To prove that this impress
sion Is entirely erroneous, we need only
mention the fact that thousands OF
white men aided, from the planting to
the harvest, In raising Louisiana's last
sugar crop; and that the large increase
OF that crop over the crop Of the pre-
vious year was due to the large increase
in the number Of white laborers in the
sugar fields. There has been notable
increase of this class Of laborers during
the present year.
In carrying on sugar plantation Of
500 or more acres the gross average cost
Of cultivation and manufacture Is esti-
mated to be $100 per acre, while under
proper managem ut every acre can be
made to return $160. Some Of the most
successful planters in the State cult
vate and manufacture their crops at a
cost Of only $50 per acre, and of course
are rapidly growing rich and extending
their possessions.
BY March 1, 1878, 1t is likely that
two thirds of the ante-bellum sugar |
region will be restocked In cane. In |
the course Of the next ten years the ex-
tent Of the old sugar region will proba-
BILE be doubled, on the condition that
sufficient labor be introduced to work |
the lands. Than the purchase, rental
and cultivation Of these lands, there
could be no better investment for the
rich or more remunerative employment
for the poor.
The labor that ekes out bare sub
sistence among the sterile rocks of New
England, the toll expended by the
sturdy yeomen on the grain fields Of
the West, or the work wasted In war
ring with the grasshoppers OF the North
western plains. 1t turned to the sugar
fields OF Southeastern Louisiana, would
be rewaf ded with such generous tri-
butte as to bewilder with sense of sud-
denly acquired prosperity the stalwart
sons of toll who, in other regions, remain
poor all their lives, digging and delvng
n the ground till hole is dug there
or the mselves.

Women not infrequently possess a
clearer and finer appreciation of a
fraud than do the shrewdest men. The
whole country has. for long time, had
an impression that w. P. Kellogg could
not be believed on oath, and for several
days past this whole city has felt that
his statement before the investigating
committee on Monday last was impreg-
mated with falsehood from beginning to
end. But it required the inspiration Of
woman to sketch Kellogg's moral
nature and accurately define the char
acter of his testimony, in one brief
sentence. Mrs. Field, widow Of the late
Attorney General, in her letter to the
chairman Of the investigating commit
tee, says:
Were / of your sex | might quote the
words of Iago to Emilia, act 5, scene Q. Of
Othello, in reference TO the testimony given
before your honorable committee on Monday
June4; as it is, leave the application to be
made where it is appropriate"

lands available Tor sugar production
which could be purchased at fifty dollars
per acre on long time; lands already
cleared, ditched and improved, and in
some instances, though rarely, stocked
with cane. Such price may seem high
to Northern farmer, but to responsible
and Industrious men the payment would
be extended for such long term of
years that each annual payment would
hardly amount to a moderate lease.
Unimproved lands may be obtained at
much less than half these figures.
Within the past few years many Of our
old sugar plantations have been sold in
farms Of from 40 to 200 acres.
Three energetic and skilled farmers
could cultivate, together, thirty acres
Of cane and ten acres Of corn-this with
two teams. The corn is usually raised
for home purposes, and, with peas
planted in it, affords feed and forage
for teams all the year, while the land
thus rotated is prepared for the next
years plant cane. It is considered that
the increase in the yield of cane from
land previously renewed with corn and
peas pays for the cultivation of these
two last products, thus rendering them,
in total, net return to the farmer. II
| all these crops be properly planted and
cultivated, no work upon them is re-
quired in July and August, our two
warmest months. The work Of harvest

CONCERNING THE LATE SUPREME
JUDGES.

The Attorney General informs re
porter Of the DEMOCRAT that he intends
go soon az pressing business will per
NIT, to direct his attention TO the re.
covery Of the amounts drawn from the
treasury by the late judges Of the Su
preme Court In excess of the constitu
tional salary. Regarding this as a
matter in which prompt action and de-
cisive success is Of the highest import
ance to the moral welfare Of society, we
cannot refrain from the expression Of
the fear that the mode Of procedure In
dicated by him to our representative is
defective. He proposes to bring suit
against one Of the parties, and make
that test case to determine the ques-
ton of their responsibility.
Now 1t seems to us there can be no
question on that subject, and 1t Is this
alone which can warrant such a pro-
ceeding and even imperatively demands
1t. We venture the assertion that there
is not one of these judges who does not
knob that he has done wrong In per-
hitting the inordinate desire for gain,
which has prevailed as an epidemic
throughout the country, to master his
conscience. We do not believe that one
of them, except perhaps John 4. Lude-
ling, will have the face to make an issue
upon such a petition. The man who
could apply TO Jacob Hawkins for a
mandamus to compel the Treasurer to
commit crime may be regarded as ut
terly shameless, but we cannot attri-
butte like recklessness to any other
man who has ever had any honorable
or decent associations.
Be this as it may, however, the course
proposed by the Attorney General is,
we fear, legally impracticable; for how
can he, by any action on his part alone,
make a test case9 A test case is one
thejudgment In which is to become also
the judgment In others Of like nature.
But this presupposes the existence of
the other suits, and 1t cannot be formed
without the consent Of the parties to
them; for, by Its nature, Judgment is
confined to the particular controversy
in which 1t Is rendered and can affect no
one who was not party thereto. Let
the Attorney General, in his i'm
agination, carry his test case to
Judgment, and then inquire by what
means he would apply it to the other
judges, and he cannot fail to perceive
that he would DO left utterly without
resource. 1t Is. then. essential that suit
should be instituted against each and
every one of these judges for the amount
overdrawn by him, when, IL there is any
defense, 1t may be agreed that the trial
Of one case, covering the whole ground,
may serve to determine the judgment
In each; and that will become a test
case. This must, however, be by con-
sent Of the parties; for no court has the
right to consolidate suits against dis
tine. parties.
A statement can be obtained from the
Treasurer OF the sums drawn by these
judges since January 1, 1871, and suits
should be instituted against each and
every one OF them to recover the sur
plus at the earliest day possible.

Mothers Pitiable Delirium.

The evil effect of Ill advised
preaching upon weak minds is
illustrated by the following account
in the New York sam of the 18th :
Early OIL Saturday morning a
mllkman discovered a woman al
most nude in the Flatbush road.
She was loudly bemoaning the death
of her two children. and was call
ing on Heaven not to send them to
hell. Having pacified her, he as
certained that she lived at 1,175
Myrtle avenue. Her husband, MI
Henry Bobenhausen, was overjoyed
Oh her return home, and strove
to drive from her mind the terrible
halluclnatIon which had taken pos
session OF it. A few days after the
burial OF her little ones, she became
impressed with the belief that q SER
MOI which the Rev. j. Raber de-
livered, or eternal Punishment"
had reference to her children. The
thought crazed her. Stealing from
the house, she went to the ceme-
terry, sought out her children's
graves, and attempted to exhume
their bodies. In her delirium she
called for her babes, saying that If
she could only get them out of their
graves, they would not sink down
into hell. Yesterday she WAS sent
TO an asylum.
