The steamer Lessie Taylor, Capt. KEN

river. about four miles above the mouth
of Bayou Courtablean, Sunday morning
last, at about o'clock and sunk in fif-
teen minutes. She lies in about 100 feet
of water, and is total wreck. The
cabin passengers, including five ladies',
wereall saved, but lost all their baggage.
Two deck passengers, colored woman
and her child. and four of the colored
roustahonts were lost. The ill-fated
steamer had cargo consisting of as3
bales cotton, 15s hogsheads of sugar
and $500 sacks cotton seed. The Tavlor
was built at Louisville, KY, in 1870, un-
der the immediate supervision Of Capt.
Kennison, and cost $4,000. At that
time, she was owned by the late Col.
Wm. 0tfutt, Capt. E. A. Carmouche and

St. Landry democrat., 1878-02-09

The entire financial history of this
country is gradually coming to light.
4 great deal has been said about the
duty OF the country to its bondholders.
Perhaps it may be well. in this connec-
ton, to remember exactly how our
bonds were issued and bought. The
first Issue OF $40 bonds was made in
1869, and from that date to 1868 a num-
Der OF issues We're made. All OF the
bonds were sold at par for greenbacks
each $1,000 bond bringing to tho gov
ernment $1,000 in greenbacks. AS, how
ever, .greenbacks were very much
depreciated at the time, this was tar
from being worth $1,000 in gold.
The first issue of $50 bonds was
$62, 1852 ,450. The gold value these
brought the government was $4,000
$40: SO that if the bonds are paid in
made tine neat little profit of S16,951,-
sol.
In 1864, $3s1 ,ss92, $50 of bonds were
sold tor the equivalent of $1S9,691, 1886
in gold, the profit of the bondhulsiers
being S191 ,594,6l4, or 101 per cent un
their investment. The whole series of
5-2O bUnds amounted to 1854 1896, ,15O :;
the gold value received 10y the govern
ment being $1,246, ,466, 1898, leaving the
bondholders II dividend, over interest,
Of s626. 1853 ,a22, nr just 80 per cent on
their Investment. it must be r+mpm-
beled, also, that the interest ON this
debt has been paid in gold, SO that, al.
though 1t was nominally 6 per cent, it
was practically.9 per cent. The PM
chaser Of ii $1,000 bond in 1864, who gave
$3.50 in gold for it. has been receiving
yearly, ever siuct, $50 in gold as in
terest, or nearly l9 per cent Oh his in
