The STATE l,EBT.

The Picauene Is seriously exercised
about the State debt, insists that Gov
ernor Nichols shall soon gravely con-
slider the subject and treat 1t with calm
ness and wisdom. We are disposed to
think our excellent neighbor ID vexing
Its soul unduly In this matter.
The recognition OF the legal govern
ment of the State, and the disappear
ance OF the Packard fraud, will estab-
lish confidence everywhere in the Sc
curities of the State, and the deficien-
cies in the interest fund OF 1876, re-
ferred TO by the Picavu1,e Sunday, and
more fully treated by the DEMOCRAT
TIL eaday morning, will not In any meas
ure affect the credit of the State.
When the status Of the Nichols gov
eminent shall be undisputed, there will
be an immediate appreciation OF prop
erty throughout the State, and, as the
remarks Of great Northern capitalists
at the meeting In New York few days
since, to discuss the financial affairs OF
the Southern States, very clearly indi-
Gates, large amounts Of capital will seek
investment In our commerce and enter
prises. In view Of such d prospect, 1t
would be insane folly for the holders OF
the unfunded bonds, on which the back
interest Is due, to take any steps which
would depreciate their own property /;
and In our article Tuesday. We pointed
out the absurdity Of supposing that q
matter of 900 deficiency in the in
terest fund could disturb the financial
condition of the government.
The main point to be attained now. is
the undisputed authority Of the govern
ment; there Is no disposition in the
State to repudiate its debt or any por"
tion Of it, and the main point gained,
the financial affairs OF the State will
readily assume solid, safe and sub
stantial basis.
The only event which could perma-
nently injurlously affect our State secu-
rites, would be- the overthrow Of the
Nichols Government. Should an eff
fort be made by the Federal power to
establish Packard, or to establish In the
State any other than the government
elected by the people, the bonds Of the
State would be virtually repudiated;
for the simple reason that the
State would be ruined; no taxes
would be paid; the people
would leave Mr.. Packa and the
creditors of the State to settle the debt
to please themselves, with what plumber
they might be able to capture, and ap-
propriate to that purpose. When there
is q certainty Of the overthrow OF the
Nichols government, and we think
there never will be, then we advise all
good men who hold State securities to
get rid of them as fast as possible and
as best they can.

remedied on the contrary, the produce
ton Of sugar In the West Indies hence
{ nth will probably continue to decline
while the demand for the commodity,
which now, In this country, amounts to
forty-eight pounds per head, with an
increasing population and growing
wealth. 10 likely to continue to increase,
and sugar ought to become one of the
largest articles Of our domestic trade.
The sugar fields Of louisiana are
capable OF supplying, In great part, the
domestic demand, and Of adding Inn
mense wealth to our commerce. All that
is necessary to vastly increase the sugar
production OF this State IL an appro-
priation by the Federal government to
construct and repair the levees, behind
which lie our wonderful cane fields,
stretching from the Gulf OF Mexico
high up the Mississippi and Red rivers.
The high price which for several years
the declining sugar fields Of the world
will insure the sugar-planters of Lou
isiana for their produce, will, 80 soon
as these levees are constructed, induce
the investment OF large sums In the
growing of cane and the manufacture
OF sugar in Louisiana.
On rough estimate the sugar and
molasses product Of this State last year
will be worth upwards of twenty millions
OF dollars. This crop was produced on
less than one tenth Of tho sugar lands
OF Louisiana. Thus, were these lands
fully protected and brought into Guilt
walton by an influx Of capital and the
establishment Of safe and legal govern
ment, they are capable OF making up
the great falling off in tho crop of the
balance of the world.
How vast and rich an interest this
Is which the Legislature of Louis
lana solicits Congress to protect and de-
velope; how largelyit affects the wealth
and commerce Of the whole country;
how clearly 1t touches the rich and poor
Of this continent and even Of Europe, it
IL easy to calculate from tho data we have
herein furnished the reader. Congress
has never given o dollar to any enter
prize which is more national In charac-
ter or Of greater and more general i'm
portance to the whole country than that
which the Louisiana Legislature now
asks 1t to aid and foster. The aid asked
for will convert this State, in few years,
into garden, but at the same time It
will benefit every man, woman and
child In the Union.

The Radical papers, as general
thing. have not word of news about
Wells, Vernon, or the investigation
going on just now in Washington. The
Shreveport Telegram, (Rep) however.
roes so far as to wish that, should the
charges against Wells be proved, he
should be punished to the full extent
of the law. It has still faith, however,
that he will be shrewd and cunning
enough to find some way out OF the
trap; but 1t Is somewhat usual to see a
Republican newspaper say this much
about Wells, even coupled with an I'll. !"

THE MISSISSIPPI LEVEES AND THE
SUGAR FIELDS OF LOUISIANA.

The Joint resolution OF the Senate
and House Of Representatives Of this
State, printed in the DEMOCRAT Of the
9TH inst, memorializing Congress to
aid in building the levees on the Mis-
sissippi, touches not only matter Of
the greatestmaterial interest to Louis
lana, but also Of great present and
rapidly increasing interest to the peo-
pie of every section of the United States.
To say nothing, just now, Of the vast
areas OF wonderfully productive cotton,
rice and tobacco lands these leyees
would reclaim, the products Of
which would soon swell the volume OF
our foreign and domestic trade in
creasing the wealth OF the country at
large, the sugar fields Of the State,
which would be protected and brought
into cultivation were the levees securely
built, would alone render this great
work of national Importance and fully
justify Congress In giving it the most
liberal aid.
A glance at the past and present con-
dition OF the sugar interest or the
world and the outlook of that interest
will prove this very clearly. From re-
liable statistics before us, we find that
the total product Of sugar throughout
the world had in 1876 reached 3,168,O0o
tons. But the sugar product OF 1875,
owing to several causes, fell off upwards
of half million tons. This falling off
was not peculiar to the crop of any par
ticular sugar producing region Of the
world. The production fell off not only in
Cuba, where, ewing to the protracted
civil war, great numbers Of extensive
sugar estates have been destroyed, but
also in those districts Of Europe where
the beet root sugar is produced.
The consumption Of sugar in this
country and Europe increased with the
rapid increase Of that product anterior
to 1875, and the consumption has con-
tinued to increase, Notwithstanding the
falling off in the production since that
wear. Indeed, sugar has almost be-
come in this, and many other countries,
one of the necessaries of life, and the
ienhanced price, due to the causes just
referred to, is becoming quite q tax
upon the people. These causes. those Of
them at least, affecting the production Of
cane sugar, which Is chiefly used In the
United States, are not likely TO pc soon

THE TRIBUNALS DECISION.

| The decision Of the Electoral Tribu-
nal as 1t just came to us yesterday was
so tortured and twisted from it's true
meaning that there Is little wonder 1t
caused alarm; but now that we have 1t
properly explained, it should produce
feelings only Of hope.
| The decision OF the tribunal Is that it
is court, u high court of equity and
not mere political body without rules
or regulations of any kind. Those who
pretend that there IL any danger in the
decision to our cause forfeit all the
claims of that cause, since they admit
| that 1t Is not perfect and without flaw,
legally, judicially and morally. There
are few, however, who are so
timid as to assert his; the
general idea, which caused feeling of
disappointment at the Tribunals deci-
sion, is u belief that while we have plen-
ty Of evidence to sustain our case in
Florida before the Tribunal, acting ju-
dicially and as court, we are cut off,
precluded, from filing it by this deci-
sion. Here all the error lies"
Gov. Drew sent in, as part Of his GER
tificates, the decision Of the Supreme
Court of Florida on the quo ararranto
case, and also all the evidence
adduced In that case-evidence which
was amply sufficient to satisfy the Su-
preme Court Of Florida that the Tilden
electors were elected.
In deciding itself o court, bound by
the rules of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the value of this decision
Of the Florida court increases In worth
thousand fold. AS it now stands, the
Florida case Is before the Commission
In the manner Of an appeal from the
Supreme Court of Florida to the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. The
Commission may decide:
/. That the decision Of the Supreme
Court of Florida is conclusive.
2. II the commission decides to revise
the decision Of the Florida court, it
must investigate the same evidence that
was before this court and which was
sufficient to satisfy it that Tilden was
elected.
In other words, the Florida case has
been disentangled from the question Of
Returning Boards and certificates, and
now rests on the point:s WAS the deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court Of Florida,
| deciding which were the true certil-
Gates, correct ?"
Such ruling by the Tribunal has
been looked for, and wished for by all
the leading Tilden papers Of the North.
The Chicago Times, Of last week, in
sisted that "the Commission need only
inquire how the vote stood IL can
vassed according to law as deter
mined by the Florida Supreme
Court. The fact will determine
whether anything has been properly
certified and returned. II the votes
were canyassed contrary to law, Gas the
Supreme Court has decidedly then the

REASONS FOR OUR FAITH.

DInCe Iue DEMOCHRT AP pGtl5 w w al
most the only journal of this city that
takes cheerful view of the political
situation, we deem 1t incumbent upon
us to give some reasons TOR the faith
that is In us. We shall endeavor, there
fore, In this article to convey to the
minds Of our readers clear under
standing of our views in the matter.
The act of Congress creating the
Electoral Commission provides in its
second section that the commission
shall exercise, with respect to the
counting of the votes Of Suites for
which double sets Of certificates have
been sent up, "the same powers, Ii any,
now possessed for that purpose by the
two houses acting separately, or to-
gether, and by q majority Of votes de-
eide whether any, and ,ohat, uotes from
such State are the Uotes provided for By
the Constitution of the United States,
and ho,u many and What persons Uere
duty appointed electors IN such State"
Under these provisions Of the act
three main questions will be presented
to the Commission for its determine
ton:
l. What evidence may be submitted
to the Tribunal?
Q. Is the certificate Of the Governor OF
the State conclusive as to the fact Of the
election Of the persons claiming to be
electors, or may that certificate be i'm
peached for fraud or error?
8. Can the Commission accept and
count, as one of "the votes provided for
by the Constitution Of the United
States" the vote of person shown to
have been United States officeholder
at the time of the election?
The commission decided on Wednes-
day. in the Florida case, that 1t would
not hear evidence outside Of the record
transmitted to it, except in respect to
the eligibility Of electors, and it as
signed no limit to the testimony it
would receive on that point. Further
on we shall show the immense ad-
vantage of this exception to the Demo-
cratic side Of the controversy.
The other questions are yet to be de-
cided, and we now propose to show that,
as we remarked yesterday, the com
mission cannot adopt any rule OF deci-
sion which will not result in the
election of Governor Tilden, either
by the Electoral College or by the
House OF Representatives.
If it should be determined that the
certificate of the Governor Of State is
conclusive as to the fact Of the appoint
ment of the elector, and that it cannot
be impeached and ignored, either be-
cause of fraud or error, Tilden will lose
the votes Of Florida and louisiana, but
must necessarily gain the vote OF
Cronin, in Oregon, and thus receive the
one vote he lacks of a majority. II it
be decided that such certificate may be
|impeached, then the vote of Florida
cannot be counted for Hayes, because Of
the decisions of the courts OF that State
annulling the Governors actions.
