Brooklyn is now having fine row with it's proposed elevated railroads. It is a shame that these valuable street franchises should be given away, when, if offered at public sale, they would bring millions. It seems that the street railways of New York, though paying enormous dividends, have substantially escaped taxation hitherto. The attempt will now be made to tax them, as we'll as the elevated rall- roads, as real estate.

A terrific amount of cutting and stabbing was done in Hartford, Friday, by baker named John Herr. He has lived with wo- man as her husband, for some eleven yearspast. but has become greatly infuriated. recently, by alleged infidelity on her part. He first attacked her paramour with a large butcher knife, wounding him in many places and very se- verely. He then ran to the woman's little shop on another street, and stabbed her sirteen times. He then delivered himself up suppos- ing he had killed both. It is thought, howev- CT, that they will recover.
 Old England farms are suffering with those of New England, from competition with the cheap products of the West. The Liberals make it the occasion of attacks upon the exist ing aristocratlc tenure of land, and Conserva, lives are threatening return to the Corn Laws of old times. We do not believe that either remedy will accomplish the object expected If the West can raise crops and stock so cheap ly as to undersell all the rest of the world their advantage is one that cannot be made null by legislation. The time will no doubt come when the land of the West will bring higher prices, and when it will produce less wheat than it now does and then, older states will recover something of the standing in agri- culture they must temporarily lose.

 THE NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND.-The New York and New England engineers have completed the re-survey of the old Hartford and Erie extension from Waterbury, to the point of connection with the Harlem road, at Brewsters. The profles as left by the form CT contractors when they stopped work did not represent the actual present condition of the grading. etc., because it had been considera- ply washed by rains and changed by other natural causes. A resurvey and new profles were therefore necessary, in order to furnish the exact data upon which the contractors can figure for the completion of the work. Most of the line, which is thirty miles long, is al- ready graded, and it is hoped to have the llne in running order and proper connections made by the early fall. The further extension, either north to Poughkeepsie to connect with the Erie, or south to Fishkill to connect with the Pennsylvania road, will depend upon the in ducements which may hereafter be offered. The indications are that the southern route will be chosen. - COurGnt

The Homestead presents favorable prospects for the tobacco crop this year. The season here, though backward, has been on the whole favorable; while Pennsylvania, Connecticut's chief rival, is suffering from drouth that bids fair to ruin their crop:
 There is no overplus of seed leaf or Havana in the manufacturing centers of the country, and it is morally certain that the crop of '7S, with all the old tobacco remaining on hand (the amount of which is smalD, will be no more than enough to supply the manufactur- CTS for the year to come, thus leaving a clear field for the crop of 1879 as soon as it shall be ready for use.

The Democrats of Mississippi and
Louisiana are advocating the policy of
having the Legislature select the presi-
Dental clcTtors for 1880 this winter,
thus taking the election out Of the hands
of the people, and securing these two
States for the Democratic candidates be-
yond all doubt. These gentleman should
remember that the Legislature of New
York is strongly Republican,; and this
thing can be done in that State just us
easily as in the bulldOzed States.
The above is from the Rising Sun
Qnd.) Recorder, a so-called RepublI-
can paper. A more malicious and
willful SANDER could not be conceiv-
ed by the most unscrupulous villain
in the universe. No such discussion
has taken place in Mississippi and
Louisiana, as every honorable gen
tleman will swear unreservedly. But
the Radical journals of the North
have urged it upon the New York
Legislators that it is a duty they owe
the Republican party, as between
defeat in the presidential election and
Revolutionary enactmentwhichwould
ensure them success.
But mild-cyed Radical simply
lies again, and to argue the question
would only deepen the fall he vii
have in hell sooner or later

A SORGHUM BOOM.

Through late files Of St. Louis pa
pers, we have gathered the interest
ing news, that a convention composed
Of representatives from thirty States
have assembled in that city for the
purpose Of discussing the practical
bility of growing Sorghum on a large
scale for producing sugar, as against
the cane Of Louisiana.
1t is everywhere admitted that the
production of sugar from Sorghum re-
quires such a great degree Of chemi-
cal skill in it's manufacture, besides
the very unrenumerative results that
are obtained after the interminable
process of boiling and reboiling have
been gone through, that the projected
competition of sorghum versus the
sugar cane amounts almost to quix-
otic errand.
When it is considered that Louisi-
ana offers millions of acres Of land
which require but the application OF
capital and industry to yield crops
that surpass in value the products Of
the mines Of Colorado and California,
it does indeed seem strange that the
intelligent men Of this country should
turn their backs upon these tried lands,
to enter the broad and uncertain field
of experimentation.
The returns from the cane fields OF
Louisiana this year, show that our
State is on the eve Of re-entering the
path Of prosperity underauspices that
ought to dazzle the minds of specula-
tive and'enterprising spirits through
out the entire Union.
Good government, order and law
are insured to our State in the future,
and on all sides we hear of astound-
ing profits which will be reaped by
our sugar planters this season. II
capitalists will seize the opportunity
of investing their means in the cult
walton of the numberless acres lying
idle hereabouts, more sugar will soor
be raised, while magnificent profits
are realized, than will supply the en-
tire demand of the United States.
When we reflect that hogshead o
sugar can be raised at q cost of no
more than forty dollars, and that il
many cases two of these can be ob
tained from one acre of land, each
which brings as high as one h"ndre'
and thirty dollars, is it not the heigh
of folly to discuss sorghum culture TO
|
a single moment7
We hope that the Sorghum Boom
ers will come down and examine fo
themselves, what the sugar prospect
are in Louisiana before they bur
their fingers in their more than ha'
ardous enterprise.
Our people are ready to welcom
such of their Northern and Wester
brethren to their midst, who will con
to lend their means and enere
l in extracting from our rich soil tt
wealth that lies in wait for its extra
!. tors.

THE OLD STORY.

We are told that the old scare crow,
was again shown to the colored peo-
ple during the late campaign, to ar
ray them against the Democraticpar-
ty. Old Uncle 81 and Aunt Betsy
Jane were made to feel very uneasy
over the situation Of affairs. Ten
chances to one that they would again
be made slaves; and as far as their
rights were concerned, it was no use
to think about them if these cruel
Democrats were elected. They'd bet
ter get ready to leave for Kansas soon
after Wilt became Governor.
It never occurred to those of our
colored folks who took in such ridicu-
lous and exploded tales, that the
Nichols government is the only one
since the war that has given peace to
Louisiana. That the very Constitu-
ton containing the guarantee that
equal rights are to be enjoyed by all
men in this State, was framed by a
Democratic majority, over which pre-
sided our next Governor, Mr.. Wilt.
That the Parish Officers were men
we'll known, who would be no worst
in the future than they had been in
the past.
OF course such stories found no be-
levers among men Of common sense,
but the ignorant were very much
alarmed thereat. .fa.
It won't be long, however, before
our colored fellow citizens discover
that the incoming Democratic gov
ernment will do all in its power te
develop the resources Of our State
while the rights Of every man without
distinction of race or color will he al
fully protected as they are anywhere
else ip the Union.
Thanks be to the Lord, politica
agitation is over for four years ant
we have before us every prospec
that the most profound peace vii
reign in our midst. The yields jus
gathered will bring more ease ant
comfort than for many years past
1t seems to us that u field is opening
to the industrious, that ought to i'll
duce any man to roll up his sleeves
and earn q living by the sweat Of hi
brow.
One must be blind who does nc
see that Louisianais booming toward
the front rank of the most prosperou
States, and that right hereis the hap
py land of Canaan.
From all accounts the profits real
lied by this years crops, will brin
more capital than will be needed t
raise the next. The enhanced pric
obtained for our products this seasO
will beyond doubt give a ne'
impetus to our planting interests, an
for the life of us, we can't see any
thing else in store, in the near future
than the blessings of peace and III
bounded prosperity.
