Our sugar crop for last season
is figuring up beyond what was
anticipated. 1t is now probable
that the total sugar product for
the year will leach fully 225,0O0
hogsheads, to which may be added
100000 barrels of molasses.
Though the price of saccharine
sweets is considerably less than it
was last season, the quantity pro-
duced is SO much greater that the
total OF proceeds will be fully if
ty per cent more than it was in
1077-78. The prospect for this
years crop is unusually good, so
far as it can be estimated at this
early period.-7[N. o. City Item.

Lieut.. Doane, Of the SECOND cavalry, for.

Martin Maginnis, Montana's delegate in

paper says There is little sense or reason
in the removal of troops from threatened
points during the winter months. Indians
are averset to travelling or ra;ding while the
ground is covered with deep SHOWS, but as
this happens only occasionally in the win
ter, there is nearly as much danger as in

philadelphia Times.
The election of General James
Shields to tho United States Senate by
the Legislature of Missouri, adds an
other of the many remarkable chap
tiers in the history of the most notable
Senator in the country. Born in Ty-
rome, Ireland, in 1910, he emigrated to
1882; entered its Legislature in 1886 !;
became Auditor of the State in 1886 );
chosen Supreme Judge in 1913; ap-
pointed Commissioner of the Land
Office by President Polk in 1916 !; went
! to the Mexican war as Brigauier Cen
eral in 1876; became Governor of Ore
gon Territory in 1913; elected to the
United States Senate by the Illinois
Legislature in 1859, over Sidney Breese,
| the then Democratic Senator /; rejected
by the Senate as ineligible because of
some defect in his naturalization ; re-
elected by the same Legislature and
admitted to the Senate, where he served
six years became n resident of Mime
sofa Territory on his retirement from
the Senate; elected one of the first
United States Senators by the Legis-
lature of Minnesota in 1857 and served
the short term of two years; became
Brigadier General in the Union
army at the outbreak of the rebel
lion and was the only officer who de-
feated Stonewall jackson retired from
military service because of, disabling
wounds; since then been resident
of Missouri; has been in such &C.
! verely straitencd circumstances as to
require him to pledge his sword pre-
sented to him for distinguished servi-
ces in war, for his necessities, and now
ne has been again chosen to tho United
States Senate by the Legislature OF
Missouri to serve the uncxpired term
ending ON tho 4th of March next. He
is tho only man who has represented
two States in the United States Senate
since the formation of the government
and he will soon enter the Senate to
represent the third State that has
chosen him as it's highest legislator.
His history presents the grandest illus
tration of the attachments possible
under our free institutions, and it
would be we'll for the Republic if all
who gain its honors could wear them
so worthily as James Shields, the
battle-scarred soldier Of two wars and
the Senator from three States of the

OUR SILENT GOVERNOR.

We have for long while entertained
tho opinion that Governor Nichols is
not tho right man in the right place,
though respect for his position and a
regard for the interests of the Demo-
cratic party have restrained us, us it
doubtless has many others, from UNI
favorable comments.
Ills little speech before tho Baton
Rouge convention at the time of his
nomination, and over which we all
hurrahcd, us in duty bound, was virtu-
ally 4 slap in the face of the very party
that nominated him. His course since
has not been satisfactory to the party
to whom no owed his election, and
attacks upon his administration have,
as we have said, only been restrained
by considerations ofparty policy. More
over, there is disposition in most men
to look up to the powers that be, which
in the case OF Gov. Nichols was intcn-
sified by the fact that under his adj
ministration the State has redeemed
from Radical misrule. 1t is but natural
that tho mass of the people should give
him credit for this, whereas, in point
of fact, it is questionable whether he
was entitled to any whatever.
He has occupied similar position to
that of Gov. Hampton, of South Caro-
lima, and yet has suffered by compare
son. And now he has capped the
climax, by his course in regard to the
election troubles. Not one word has
ne uttered in vindication Of the people
OF his state, when none should know
better than he that they have heen
patient and long suffering under rriey-
ances hard to be borne that there is n
UNIVERSAL desire to accord to the colored
people all their rights under the law !:
that the white people of Louisiana are
loyal to the Federal government and
accept reconstruction as a fixed fact
and that all they ask is an honest gov
ernment that will protect them agains,
the thieves and robbers who have
preyed upon them for the last ten OF
twelve years. All this Gov. Nichols

1t is rather unusual for women per-
sonalIy to participate in war. We live
in an ago of strange developments,
however, for the last account from tho
scat of war, in South Africa, is that in
one engagement the British troops had
to retire, owing to the superior number
of the enemy, and that in a second and
severe fight, one officer was shot dead
and another seriously wounded, while
the enemy marched off in good order,
through the cunning Of a body Of four
hundred women, who can scarcely be
called the fair SEX" who threw them
selves between the Catfrcs and the Brit

latter would not fire upon them. NO

history since the memorable day, two

The premium on gold reached its
highest point in July, 1864, when gold
was rated one day at 1856, making the
value of the greenback dollar only IS
cents. This was the darkest period of
national gloom, the tremendous crisis
when citizens and the government
itself came nearest to despairing of
the Republic. In those dark days
steam was kept up on a government
vessel in the Washington navy yard,
on which the President and Cabinet
would have embarked with the pub
lie archives had the rebels under Early
forced their way into the capital. Lee,
sorely pressed by Grant at Peters
burg, had sent Early around into Mary
land, and it was owing to mere luck
captured and the government put to
flight. Grant had dispatched the sixth
corps Of the army of the Potomac to
Washington, and by fortunate coin
cidence Gen. Emory with the 10Th
corps, which had been ordered from
New Orleans after the failure of the
Red river expedition, had just arrived
at Hampton Roads, and without de-
barking, it was sent up the Potomac to
follow the sixth. But even that timely
assistance would have proved unavail-
ing If EARLY had not quaiIed in the
very pinch of the crisis. On the morn
ing of the 18th of July his van was
close upon the fertilization covering the
northern approach to Washington, and
in the afternoon the Confederate infan-
try had come up and was arrayed in
front of Fort Stephens. They were
slightly defended, and Early might
easily have made dash into Washing
ton and driven out the government if
his vigor had been equal to his oppor-
tunity. The capture of Washington
and the flight OF the government would
have led to the immediate recognition
of the Confedcracy by France and Eng
land, and the war for the Union would
have been a failure. On so slender a
thread hung the destiny of a-great ma
ton! 1t was in that trying time that
gold reached its highest price of 2s5,
and the greenback dollar was worth
only IS cents. From the calm waters
in which we now find ourselves, with
gold at par, it is interesting, and, even
at this distance, almost exciting, to
look back upon the dangers we have
passed.-Ne,0 York Herald.
