THE ONLY AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL

transformations manner, to be the last pa

THE NEW CANAL LEASE.

We learn that the Committee on State
Lands Of the Constitutional Convention will
to-day make ADMINISTRATION Of the New
canal and basin.
This is a question of the gravest Importance
to the entire population OF New Orleans and
the contiguous parishes. The canal has been
the channel Of thriving trade In years past
and even now is the avenue through which
vast quantities Of building material, and
articles which are of daily consumption by
our people, find a market
Complaints have repeatedly been made that
the requirements Of the lease have not been
complied with; that the depth of water stipu-
lated for has not been secured or maintained;
that the excavations required by the lease
we're not made In conformity with law; that
the canal is full OF distractions and finally,
that the managers Of the canal are liable to
the State In sum exceeding $4OO, 900.
The DEMOCRAT insists that the interests Of
the State involved In this matter are so large
that nothing less than thorough exami-
nation and no withdrawing will satisfy the
people.
Large rs the sum claimed for the State
may be, that amount sinks into lnsignif-
canoe when com pared to the Immense sums
wrung from commerce by the exactIons upon
vessels In the past; by which means an indi-
rect tax has been imposed upon the wood,
charcoal, lumber, brick, sand, and other arti-
eles used by this community
New Orleans has been striving to regain
her commercial ascendency under circum
stances we'll calculated to dishearten her
merchants. Between canal leases and wharf
leases the trade struggling to reach this city
Is continually overburdened and 1t is high
time the shackles imposed upon commerce
should be thrown off. The DEMOCRAT claims
that the canal should be free to the people
and that city wharfage should be reduced to
rates merely sufficient to keep the wharves in
repair.
No better time to commence this work than
now, and we trust that the committee instruct
ed to examine the New canal viii, go to the
bottom Of all these complaints, and Ii the al
legations made are found te be true that steps
will be taken to forfeit the lease recover the
amount due the State and give the people the
benefit Of the canal.
The history of every lease of this character
| shows that the making of the lease Is fol-
lowed by notifications, by which the lessees
escape the payment Of large sums either to
the city or State, as the case may be. It was
SO with the various leases of the wharves, and
now 1t appears that 1t Is the same with the
canal
| 1t will be rare thing in the history OF the
State or the city to record an instance where
the rights Of State, city or Inhabitants have
been enforced as against defaulting lessees.

The New iberia Sugar Bo1cl Is extremely
anxious that the Constitutional Convention
should provide an agricultural bureau for
this State; So in fact do oil the country
newspapers. Take the single product. sugar.
The planters Of Southern Louisiana have been
struggling on since the war, oultivating sugar
cane, really knowing very little Oh that sub
iect. and learning only by very expensive OK
perience. An agricultural bureau would have
saved them many losses during tho past
dozen years. losses exceeding by tenfold the
cost OF bureau OF this kind. The cotton
planters, rice planters, indeed. everybody on
gagged In farming, would BIO equally benefited
by q bureau or this kind.

as as well return to his family. The police

up in disgust all hope Of ferresing out the case

theory that "murdrr Will out" they have e7f-
deutly concluded to let the case work itself for
a little while. The lynx-eycd detective will Of

for any probable solution Of the mys-
tery, il has been proven utterly impossible
for any of the witnesses, or 3or either of the

coronet shapes laseiy worn to frame the face and
surround it rs with halo. The new wide
britns extend forward as well as upward, and
begin to widen at the point where they first

poke-bonnets did. This widened brim is faced
inside with shirred satin or with smooth dark
velvet, or else with the dansiest India muslin;
this facing begins an inch or less from the edge
of the fms braid, which is left bare, and has no
wire in it, and the extreme edge OF the facing is
often visible from the front. Tie
