THE STATE DEBT.

On the 9th Of June, inst.,
Mr.. Isidore Newman, of Cata
houla Parish, appeared before
the Committee on State Debt,
with a proposition which, it
to us, might be made
the basis for a happy and sat
isfactory solution Of that vex-
ed question. Mr.. Newman re-
presents Of his own and those
held by others. about twelve
millions of dollars in bonds.
His proposition, briefly stated,
is to accept seven;y-6ve cents
on the dollar. with four per
cent per annum interest for
the bonds held by him and
those he represents. Such a
compromise would result in a
saving. to the State Of twenty
i've per centum on twelve
millions Of dollars, reducing
the principal three millions O;
dollars :; besides the saving
annually, in the reduction Of
interest as follows:
Seven per cent on So, 0,Ooo-. $21o, 900
Three per cent ON balance of the
debt, nine million Of dollars ..... 27O, 600
anrully saved besides the S3,OOO,OO0 re-
duction of the principal.
The reduction of the whole
principal at the above rate
and corresponding reduc
tion Of the interest would he.
it appe ars to US, such an i'm
mense saving to the State,
that the Convention would be
fully justified in settling the
question on such a basis.
The latest intelligence as
to the action of the Corvcr>
tion is that the question was
re>committed to the CON-
mittec on the State Debt, or.
Monday last.

A FALSE CHARGE.
From the Pa tri ot-Democrat,

from the fatrl rlot-DemOCraC.
In your last issue, June 9TH, is an ar
ticle copied from the N O. Democrat,
headed q "A Curious case,' which speaks
of the late robbery OF Capt. J as. D'Grey,
Deputy U. S. Int. Revenue Collector
for this district, at the Henrietta Hotel.
in Bayou Sara, and the recovery of the
| missing money, and which casts a
strong shadow of suspicion, Of accessory,
participation or of guilt upon name,
which has hitherto boon free from such
stain.
My attention was called to this same
article, soon after its appearance in the
N. o. Democrat, by Judge A Simbola
Of that city, and called at the Office of
that paper, showed my discharge
I had been examined, and had copies of
the same Transcribed by the editor there
Of for insertion, which I presume you
will or can see in some of the late issues
of the n. O. Democrat and the Evening
News, had not the time or should have
visited the Times Office, though I did
not know that it contained any article
Va
until after I reached home.
An article was also shown me in your
Bayo Sara paper, the Feliciana Sentinel,
on my return "a day or two since) from
New Orleans, by my attorney there, (Mr.
PowelD headed "A Strange Occurrence
to which will endeavor herein to reply,
as best I my under the unfavorable
cr or ,f h
or advice, and being utterly dependent
upon my own unseconded ability to
refute a false charge. But standing as
do upon the strong bulwark of limo.
ccnce, I do not fear to meet and face
tho issue at hand.
Public opinion in Bayou Sara, seemed
pitilessly turned against me, for had
no chance or opportunity of defending
myself against it's one sided attacks, as
the walls OF q prison prev ented my fac
ing frowning world and freeing myself
from false, wrong charge.
Public opinion is sometimes correct in
its conclusions, but is often woefuliy
wrong and wide to tho mark of justice,
and where it is based upon q one sided,
prejudiced view of a case, it is more
than liable to error aud misjudgment
and should be oren to review and COR
rection and not be shut up in u stony,
pitiless determination that it is right and
cannot be ,crong.
The facts are these: Capt. DeGrey
was in Bayou Sara, on Thursday, May
22d 1876, where went to meet him, at
his written request, to talk over matters,
pertaining to securing me employment
or appointment in the M o. Custom
House. During the day, too much whis-
key was indulged in and Capt. De'Grey
very carlessly displayed or showed
large roll of u. s. Int revenue money
upon the open streets, and after arriv.
ing at the Hotel, for dinner, cautioned
him about his cacelesness in regard to
money. Capt. D. said it was all right
and safe aud slowed it away under the
mattresses of his bed, after which he and
I myself Went to dinner.
Two strangers wero in the next room
and Willie Hawford was left in an in
toxicated condition, lying upon the bed,
underneath which the money was plac.

COTTON FACTORIES,

VVAxVV 1AO4VAxlk9s
In view Of the fact that crops
are so very promising it behooves
our farmer friends to begin to look
around them and discover some
means by which they can better
their condition in the future. In
this section of country we are con-
xinced there is no enterprise that
would prove more of a blessing than
the erection Of a cotton factory.
The advantages OF such an enter-
prise are numerous, and would sup
ply not only . market for the cot.
ton raised in our Parish at a high
er figure than is paid by the spec-
ulator, but it would also give en-
ployment to large class who are
idle duriog the wiater months after
the crops have bcen gathered, at
good wages. Na'chez has now in
course Of construction another OF
these factories, which will be com
ple.ed in time to work Up a con-
siderable amount of the growing
crop to the advantage of the pro-
ducor. The establishment of ;his,
the second factory in that enter
pr'sing little city, is consequent
upon the advantages so rapidly de-
veloped and made apparent by the
first. Outside o: the purely local
advantages and improvements
which would accrue by the intro
duction OF the system in oar midst,
there is the underlying principle of
economy embodied in the theory
that the mills sholld lie brought to
the cotton and not tho cotton to the
mills, or, in other words, that it is
cheaper to work up the raw nate
rial on the spot where it is grown,
than to transport it thousands Of
miles. there to be manufactured, and
to come again into tho hands OF it's
producers in the shape of gods.
with ali the accumulated costs Of
transportation in Two directions.
the profits to the New England
mills added oft times TO those of
the third party, the Wholesale DEAL
or. This is a clear and indisputa-
bic proposition. 1t is as plain as
ahe fact that one and one make two.
One very important question to
bo considered is the edaptability OF
our situation for the purpose. And
here lies one of the strongest ar
guments in its favor. There never
was, perhaps. country better fit
ted naturally, for general system
of factories: than most Of the States
comprising the cotton belt of the
South, where streams are abund
ant, ana OF conseq oence, water
power liberally available.
A short time ago, it was contem>
plated by an enterprising firm in
Bayou Sara, to establish q steam
gin at the foot Of the hill, near the
banks of the Bayou Sara. This
very spot would be an admirable
situation for cotton factory, the
waters of that stream being conve
hieut, and capaple Of being utilized
TO subserve all the necessary pur-
poses.
1t is to be hoped that some of
our energetic and enterprising bust.
ness men will give the matter seri-
ous consideration and take the
proper means to have factory in
working order for the coming crop.
1t can be done-why should it not
be accomplished =?
