THE SHARE SYSTEM.

The editor of the New Iberia Sugar
Bo,ui, who is an indefatigable friend
and careful observer of the agricultu
raj interests and progress of Louisiana,
and particularly of the Attakapas or
g Sugar Bowl region, published in
the last issue of his valuable journal
an article setting forth the favorable
results which have attended the share
system in a number of cases coming
under the scope OF his observation.
For instance, Nh. w. B. Kemper, an
energetic and prosperous planter, in
1875 enclosed tract of $50 acres of
land adjoining his plantation, erected
four dwellings for laborers, together
with necessary stables, cribs, etc, at
total cost of $4,000. He loaned seed
cane to six white families, who made
IS hogsheads of sugar, l08 barrels of
molasses and goo barrels of corn.
Mr.. Kemper received half the sugar
and molasses and one-quarter of the
corn. His share of the sugar sold for
$4,000, while the molasses paid the ex-
pense of taking off the crop; thus, his
profit for the first year was fifty per
cent, and was largely increased in
1876, when it was unnecessary to
make further outlay forimprovements
Oue'of the tenants informed the editor
of the Sugar BoWI that he realized for
his years labor over $1,000 cash, be-
sides raising Sufficient corn, rice and
potatoes to provision his family and
stock for a year to come
That the sugar raising parishes of
Louisiana can afford lucrative employ
ment to all indefinite number of men
aye, and women and children, too
who are able and willing to work, is
a fact which has received wide and
constant circulation through the me-
dunn of the press; and still the dis
tressing complaint is heard that
thousands of families in the over
crowded metropolis of the State are
living in indulgence and squaor for
want of employment, which they are
ANXIOUS but unable to obtain. It is
to the interest of the city and country
alike that this element of population
y \ l.
vacant lands lying on every hand,
where their labor will secure them
selves comfortable homes and con
tribute to the general veal by increas-
ing the product of our generous soil.

THE AUDITORS BOOKS.

The Additional investigating COM
mittee is OH the track of the books
surreptitiously taken away from the
office of the State Auditor during the
recent emeute between the Nichols
and Packard governments. Evidence
has been adduced in secret sessions OF
the committee, showing that the books
we're placed in boxes and conveyed to
the Custom House, in a cab, during
the night, where they were received
by Deputy United States Marshal
Stockton, who in turn delivered the
boxes into the care of Mr.. Harris, the
keeper or superintendent OF the Gus
tom House building. Four boxes
answering the description OF those in
which the books were packed have
been found in storerOom in one OF
the upper stories of the Custom House;
and it is naturally presumed that the
missing books are in them. The com
mittee applied to Collector King for
permission to open the boxes and take
an inventory of the contents. The
Collector has the application under
advisement and viii give favorable
answer if he can properly do so. 1t
is charged that Ex-Governor Kellogg
and Ex-Marshal Pitkin are implicated
i'm the removal of the books, but both
deny the allegation. No improper
conduct on the part of Mr.. Harris is
suspected. It was represented to him
that the boxes contained private prop
ertv belonging to the MarshaPs office.
The resurrected Assumption Pioneer
pays q handsome compliment to Don
jacksonville in connection with our
recent celebration of the national hol-
iday, but falls into error in stating
that it was the first time the day had
been celebrated here in many years.
The 4th of July, 1876, marked the ad-
vent of post beElum public observance
of the anniversary, the credit belong
ing then as in the more recent instance
to the public spirited Cannoneers Of
Donaldsonville.

MIR PAnKARnIN IOWA.

We mentioned in a recent issue the
fact that the Republican State con-
vention of Iowa refused to indorse the
Southern policy Of President Hayes
also, that Hon. S. B. Packard of this
State was present in Des Moines dur
ing the sitting of the convention, and
made speech to which we promised
attention in a later number of the
CHIEF.
This speech was elected in response
to a serenade rendered Mr.. Packard
the evening previous to the assem-
bling of The convention, and owing to
the prominent part which the orator
played 10 the recent remarkable po-
litical drama-which resulted in the
success of a Presidential candidate
and the overthrow of Gubernatoriai
aspirant claiming Office on grounds
alike in all essential respects-his ut
terances attracted general considera-
ton and comment throughout the
country.
Mr.. Packard was not more severe
upon the policy of President Hayes
than might have been expected under
the circumstances in fact, his critl-
cisms were comparatively mild and
indirect, and his speech consisted
mainly in eulogy of the Republican
party in general, and of Iowa in par
ticular, and predictions of its contin-
ued success in future political contests.
The sanguine oratornot only expressed
his conviction that Iowa and the
other Republican stroGgholds would
| maintain and increase their MAORI
ties, but that their example would
nerve Louisiana Republicans to uni
ted and successful effort to wrench
that State from Democratic control in
1873.
It was the latter statement more
than any other in Mr.. Paekard's ad-
dress which drew our attention., and
the overwhelming improbability of its
MISUNDERSTANDING an impos,
sibility quite as nearly rs any future
event can be said to do-leadS us tC
the conclusion that it was merely al
emission of oratorical froth, convey
ing an opinion which the speaker
himself did not earnestly entertain
Mr.. Packard's Judgment is too clear
not to recognize the fact, so palpablt
to others, that the Republican party
of Louisiana is totally demoralized
and disrupted, with little hope of res
direction after possible regeneration
and more whatever under its formeI
organization and management. A:
remarks that able Republican journal
the New York Times, I" it is no more
likely that a Republican majorit.
will be secured in Louisiana than il
Alabama or Mississippi" and W.
doubt if there is man in the countr,
more alive to the truth of that state
ment than Mr.. S. B. Packard.
