examine and report on the laying out of
the road generally known as the "Rob-
erts Road" being unprepared to report,
asked an intermissiOn of fifteen minutes,
which was granted.
On reassembling, all the members were
present, and the aforementioned COM
mittee submitted the following report,
which was received and adopted:
We find that both routes as already
laid out are objected to. We therefore
recommend that part of both routes be
used. The road shall run as follows
Commencing at the Claygut road, run
ming on the line between McGimsey and
Roberts, through the lands of Charlotte
to the line of Pat Kelleher, and then
running at right angle between the
lines of Pat Kelleher and Charlotte, be-
tween the lands of Pat Kelleher and
estate Of Tim Kellehcr, and thence on
the linesSof Canty and Stewart to thu
HarrelPs Ferry road. !
We recommend that the Jury appoint
commission of six freeholders to lly
out said road, on condition that it cost
the parish nothing. Respectfully,

Almonds police force, and makes some
specific charges, that cannot be hidden

THE CENSUS lin speech by Gen.
b. r. Butler, in the House Of Represen-
tatiyes at its last regular session, he re-
marked that 1t took five years after the
last census TO increase the population OF
that city to the number Of inhabitants
the census takers reported 1t to have.
Now General Walker, Superintendent
OF the Census, expresses the opinion that
the coming enumeration Of the popula-
lation will show an increase Of 10000
900 within the last decade, or a total OF
4s,OOO,O 900. Letters from experts in
statistics in various parts of the country
indicate that the largest increase will be
found in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Min
nesota and Nebraska, and some of the
Territories. The most complete ant
comprehensive preparations are being
made to secure accuracy in the statistic
to be taken with regard to the various
industries Of the country.

THE number Of failures reported for
the last six months were 4,O5S against
5,S25 for the first six months in 1873.
The liabilities, in the same period ofthis
year, are only u millions Of dollars, as
against 13O millions for the first six
months Of last year. The difference in
favor Of 1879 is, therefore, that there
have been nearly two thousand (l969)
less failures, while the extent of liabili-
ties shows decrease ofove 65 millions
precisely one-half Of what they were
in the first six months of 1873. From
this the inference is drawn that the
times are growing better. We hope it Is
so for we are anxious to see the "good
| times coming" arrive.

GOLD value of the legal-tender silver
dollar (412l grains), $3.50 cents.-N. I.
Tribune.
The Trtbune's remark is deceptive
and is intended to mislead. That 412ia
grains Of silver is not worth 100 cents
before 1t is coined is not explained by
the remark. But that is what it means.
The coming and mintage, however,
gives 1t the value which we find it now
has in the shape of the Bland legal-ten-
der silver dollar. The gold bullion has
been given an advantage in the fact that
1t is coined free by the Government
The holder of 500 worth Of pure gold
can take it to the mint and receive il
exchange for it 500 in standard dollars
and this was the case with the holder
500 worth Of pure silver until silve
was secretly demonetized in 1875; bu
it is not so now. The government mo-
buys silver and makes something b
coming it. But it makes nothing b
coming gold free for the miners. Th
has tendency 20 keep silver bullion
shade lower than gold bullion. b
when both metals were coined on I
same terms, Lefore the war TIE sily
dollar Of 4.?A grains was worth TIN
cents more than the gold dollar of 2
grains and We have no doubt that
silver dollar would be at premil
again over gold if the metals were coin
on the same terms. As the matter n
stands the man who is offered g
dollar by the banks refuses it and a.
for silver, on the plea that the gold d
lar is too small for general circulate
and his objection to $3.50 and S. is
the same character he fears that he v
