that In all the corruption OF the worst period

states is not less than $272, 900, 900, and the
loss ~ municipal reputation will swell the

will not now turn mainly to the wrong sus-
tanned by individuals, however great that
has been. Just now the question Is
whether the solid South Is lit to rule
this country IT it can, nnquestionably
It means to rule, and there will be
necessary to prevent it great earnestness,
great determination and intelligence on
the part Of voters 81 the Northern States.
Scarcely any other question comes home to
so many of them as this "Can We afford to
have the national debt repudiated as the
Southern debts have beenY All our indus
years Of toll and prosperity, all the hopes OF

defense OF the public honor. Break the credit

Another chapter Of the dark record Of dis
honesty at the South Is submitted for the
sober examination OF those who conceive that
the national government can safely be in
trusted to the Democratic party. The Caro-
llnas have laid claim to great deal of the
achivalry' Of the south, and 1t appears that
they really rank quite high as repudiating
States. Some others have stolen more though
not many. Some others have made more
bites Of q cherry" and resorted to repudia-
ton two or three distinct times In order to

and 1t should be observed that, while Demo-
Gratis were at least as prominent a5 Republic

we're sWelled, they were altogether more In

ASCENSION, Dec. 10, 1879.
DEAR CHIEF:
]. Here come, to comply with your re-
quest about sugar statistics. The grind
ing season is fast drawing to close, and
has proved anything but satisfactory to
the planters. The yield from the begin
ming was uniformly poor on all the
places. Col. L. A. Bringier, will make
500 hogsheads on his magnificent Her
mitage. Mr.. j. G.. Cofeld will make
466 hogshcads OH his Point Houmas Of
the Burnside places only three have
finished SO far, the Riverton, Donaldson
and Conway, the first named making
1926 hogsheads and the latter about 400
hogsheads. The Donaldson, under the
efficient management of that prince of
good fellows, Jno. w. Tucker, made 425
hogsheads, heating last years crop.
The Clark and Orange Grove will
finish grinding earl, next week, and
both places will fall considerably short
Of their former achievement. Neither are
expected to make more than 675 hogs
heads, with the probability Of the Clarke
retaining the position of "Queen."
Messrs. Ben Tureand & Co., will also
complete their grinding next week. l
will write again soon.
Yours truly. CORNHILL.

SUGAR Jumps. The sugar-houses that
will be in operation after this week arc
few aud far between and nearly all those
have but little work still in prospect.
Mr.. James Teller finished grinding this
week and made an exceptionally good
crop, when compared with the result
achieved this season by the generality of
planters. From 220 acres Of cane Mr.
Teller realized a few hogsheads in excess
Of 400, averaging nearly two hogsheads
to the acre.
On the Citizens Bank OF Wallis place,
where grinding was also concluded this
week, about 1875 hhds. have beer made,
OF which over hundred were produced
from the cane Oh the adjoining Lazarre
Dugas tract, leased by the Bank. The
seed on the main place was generally
poor, having rotted to great extent
during the wet weather of last winter.
The rolling season ended at M,ssrs
Lemann & Lnm's Palo Alto place, Bayou
Lafourche, on the 10th inst, 355 acres of
cane producing about $50 hhds Of sugar.
just as the last of the cane was being
sent through the mill, the sugar house
took fire near the bagasse burner, but by
the prompt action of the employees, IN
der the direction Of the accomplished
manager, Mr.. Henry C. Wilson, the flames
We're extinguished before damage Of any
moment had been caused. The contest
was a stubborn one, and for some min
utes 1T seemed as if the fire would gain
the mastery and destroy the building.
The proprietors are to be congratulated
upon having a first-class force of en-
ployees, to whom is due the preservation
OF the valuable sugar-h house,
MIR. Henry Cook has finished taking
off the first crop in the new sugar-house
on his fine little place mile above town
