OLD RAILROAD BONDS.


The committee on public lands, through
Senator Edgerton, made the following report:
The committee on public lands, to which was
referred the memorial of Selah Chamberlain,
holder of large amount of so-called Mime
sofa State railroad bonds, respectfully report
that they have had the subject under consider
alton, and recommend the following action,
viz:
That bill be prepared for an act to be sub
mitted to vote Of the people at the next gem
eral election, offering to the holders of these
bonds the whole of the SOC, 900 acres of internal
Improvement lands and the proceeds of such as
have been sold, in payment of the whole of
said bonds.
In the judgment Of your committee the lands
should be valued at sum equal to the face
value of the bonds, principal and simple inter
est, and any holder of the bonds should be au-
thorized to surrender the same and receive the
equivalent in land, the said land to be exempt
ed from taxation for seven years from the time
it should, under the operations of the act, be
subject to entry with said bonds, or until sold
or contracted to be sold or leased, or used or
improved by the original purchaser.
Your committee will not further indicate the
details Of a bill to carry out the object pro-
posed, believing that if the recommendation is
adopted the assistance Of the attorney general
and the State land commissioner should be had
in preparing the bill.
The committee would say that they are unan-
imous in this recommendation, believing that
it is the wish of the people of the State to adj
just whatever may be due the holders of the
bonds by tho use of these lands. They SO de-
cided in 1870, when similar proposition to the
one we recommend was submitted to them, and
if there had not been a Limitation fixed in that
act it would long since have settled the ques-
ton forever.
The committee desire the Senate to express

A new era has dawned on Yer.

ever known has been experienced
in Abbeville, and it was a source
OF no little wonder to MANY
The Police. Jury Of the parish
wisely passed an ordinance re
quiring all stores and drinking
houses to close doors on Sunday,
Sunday came at last-the first Of
the kind ever seen in old Vermil.
lon,--when all the stores and bus.
mess houses remained closed. A
solemn quiet rested over the place,
as though an earthquake had smit-
ten the town. The country peo-
pie, as usual, came into town with
their butter and eggs, intent on
barter, but, behold, no friendly
door was open to invite to trade.
What was the matter r. Was the
plague in town, or had some ter.
rlble calamity happened ? In the
midst Of this astonishment the
bells rang out their peals
calling the people to prayer
The old ladies put their pro duce
back into their carriages and has
tened to church. One indignant
traitor tried to get up an indigna.

pie did not @Lndignate" worth a

people left for home sober, and by
2 O'Clock the streets were deser-
ed, and as silent as midnight
Thus passed the first Sunday in
Abbeville. The adoption Of the
sunday law will be a great moral
'encfit to the town, and when
nee become familiar. will be lik-
d by all, no doubt.

Echo Of April 4. and fully coin
eide with the views containe'
J therein ea.seiL .ees~E All
"The present session of our Dis
trict Court affords a good oppor
tqnity to note a serious injustice
to jurors under the new jury law
They are allowed but one dolla
and a half a day; a sum entirely
Insufficient for actually necessary
expenses, even if paid, as it is not,
in money; being paid in parish
warrants generally much depre
ciated. They are allowed this
petty compensation only while in
actual attendance in court. Our
legislators knew, when they enac.
ted this law, that in all the coun-
try parishes. Immediately upon
the organization Of the Grand Ju-
ry The petit jurors are discharged
by the Court until after tie Grand
Jury has completed its labors !:
generally for a period Of three
days. During those three or four
days the petit jury receive no com.
pensation. Many of them reside
from forty to seventy miles from
the Court House, and have scarce
ly time to go home and RETURN
If they so home they have ferriage
to pay, going and returning. If
they do not, they are at a heavy
CApelSt III IUWH. t-.t...
It was a piece Of littleness in
our lawmakers to reduce the pre-.
viously small compensation Of ju,
rors and witnesses, and to waste
the money of the people, and the
time of the regular session, in try
ing to patch up a rotten constitu-
ton, and thereby to impose on
their constituents the extra and
unnecessary expense of an extra
session, while they got we'll paid

ought to be well paid for it, it is

COST OF MAKING SUGAR

We have read q lengthy com
munication written by H. Fl. Tay
lor, of the parish of Pointe Cou
pee. on the subject of cane culture
and its manufacture in tie United
States.
Mr.. Taylor proves conclusively
that tropical lands, where the cane
is indigenous, yield three times as
much sugar to the acre as we pro-
duce; that cheap Chinese or slave
labor is used, and it is clear that
in those Islands from which we
import our sugar it can be grown
proftably at two and two and a
half cents per pound. On the
other hand, he proves equally con-.
cldsively, that it costs a Louisiana
planter six cents a pound to de-
liver his crop in market. ~ ri
We feel assured that Mr.. ,Tay-
lor is correct in all his estimates
and figures, and unless Congress
gives sufficient protection to Amer.
ican sugar, the culture in Louisi.
ana must be abandoned. Labor
is too dear and the vicissitudes Of
climate too uncertain. The cost
Of taking off a crop Of cane, after
it has ripened and is ready for the
mill, is about thirty dollars per
hogshead. Add to this the cost
Of cultivation, cost of wood and
repairs of machinery, and it sums
up sufficient, at six cents, to ab-
sorb the entire crop.-Ex.
