SUGAR CANE.

The Deliberations of the Convention of
Cane Growers-The Early Amber Recon-
mended for Northern Growth-Election
of Officers.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3.-The first annual conven-
ton of the Mississippi valley cane growers as
sociation met here at the Polytechnic building.
this morning with very fair attendance from
tho Western States. In the absence of John
Walker, of Missouri, the president of the asso-
citation, F. Miller, of Minnesota was
called to the chair. Isaac Hodges, cores
ponding secretary, read lengthy report in
the association last spring he has been in CORE
spondence with persons in twenty
i've States and Territories, regarding. the cal-
ture OF sorghum cane and the manufacture of
sugar therefrom. He finds very great interest
being taken in this matter throughout the
country, especially in the North, and much at
tention is being given to the man ufacture of
sugar. The report is quite interesting, and
contains many suggestions and much intorma-
ton of value to those interested in the pro-
motion and growth of this new industry.
A report from Prof. Stewart, of Murphys-
vile, a., was read, which cited successful cases
OF crystallizing sugar from sorghum and Indian
corn by the use of his process. He said the
Chinese or Asiatic cane was the best sugar pro-
ducing variety in the country. It can be
grown wherever corn is raised. We had OBJ
tanned from Indian corn from 1000 to 2,4OO
pounds of sugar to the acre. A discussion of
the paper revealed the fact that several mem.
bers had obtained very different results from
the use of Prof. Stewards process. and that this
process is by no Means the only one by which
sugar can be produced from sorghum cane.
At the afternoon session the following of.
fcers were elected: President, Isaac N. Hodges,
st. Louis; vice presidents, NJ G. Leonard, I'LL
nois; g. T. Miller, Minnesota; Thos. McLinston,
Ohio; Jas. Colgate, Indiana; Norman Colimer,
Missouri; e. 8. Jones, Tennessee; secretary,
r. y. Jones, Pulaski, Tennessee; treasurer, e.
W. Douglass st. Louis; corresponding score
tary and expert, Geo. O. W. Belcher, st. Louis.
Several letters from members unable to attend
the convention, giving their experience in grow
Ing cane and making sugar and syrup, were
read. The discussion of seeds, variety and
culture, then came up in the regular order of
business, and a number of membe gave their
experience. @. F. Miller, of Tennessee, thought
the Minnesota grown seed preferable to that
climate, the cane from it being earlier than
cane raised in more southern sections. South
ern-grown seed produces a large cane and more
syrup, but the cane does not, IA rule ma
tnre early enough for the extreme Northern
climate. The weight of testimony seems to be
in favor Of the early amber variety but Hon
duras, early orange, Liberian, and one or two
other varieties were well spoken of. There is
much enthusiasm among cane growers, and
some will not only have stopped importing
sugar, but will export large quantities..

THE WELLER DIVORCE.
Mrs. Weller Fails to Make Out a Case
Against Her Husband.

d
A decision was rendered by Judge Brill yes
terday, denying the application for dissolution
of the marriage VOWS, or other relief, in the
divorce case of Emeline Darling Weller against
her husband, Emery A. Weller. The history of
this disgustingly unique case, and the sensa-
tional developments of the recent trial are al
ready SO wei! known to the public as to not re-
quire repetition, as by reference to the decis-
ion it will be seen that the allegations of the
plaintiff respecting the unheard of conduct of
defendant are denied as beyond the range of
probability, and be stands indicated before
the public.
Following is the full text of the decision:
This cause was tried at the general Septem-
Der term Of the court for the year 1879. ,.--
The decision of the court is as follows: That
the allegations of the complaint respecting the
marriage of the parties, their age, residence,
aud the issue of the marriage are true.
Fir ON the time of their marriage to the day
before the commencement of this action plain
tiff and defendant virtually cohabited as bus
band and wife, and defendant, during said
period, supported plaintiff and their child and
furnished them with the necessaries and COM
forts of life according to his means.
The allegations of the complaint relative to
the conduct of the defendant and the cruel and
inhaman treatment of plaintiff by defendant,
contained in the fourth, fifth and sixth follos
of the comp plant, are not proven to the salts
faction of the court, and are severally found
the pleadings are not material and are not
passed upon. As conclusion of law it fol-
lows that plaintiff is not entitled to any relief.
Let judgment be entered accordingly, without
costs or disbursements to either party.

For several months past the Republicans
have been claiming that Louisiana was Re-
publican State, and if permitted to hold q
free election would SO declare herself. An
election was held on Tuesday at which there
was no violence of any kind. The State
had been imperfectly cauyassed by both par
ties, but nevertheless full vote was out, and
the Democratic ticket was elected by an
overwhelming majority. Large numbers of
the negroes cast their votes for the Demo-
cratic candidates, and appear to be as we'll
pleased with The result as are their white
brethren.
