that without the States in union there

The EXCURSION TOMORROW.

The EXCURSION TOMORROW,
Never has so fine an opportuni'
ty been offered to the people OF
this Parish to visit New Orleans
as will be gwen tomorrow.
The train will leave the depot
in Thibodaux at 8 o'clock in th.
morning, reach the city about IL
and return from the city at 7
o'clock in the evening, so as to
reach Thibodaux about 10 at
night, thus giving about eight
hours for a promenade about New
Orleans, to take a ride to the
lakes or to partake of any other
pleasure that may be presented.
The fare being only $3.50 for
the round trip, places it within
the reach of any one who has
not the means and the time to
make such a visit in the usual
method.
The object of this excursion is
to raise the means to purchase a
steam fire engine, which the en-.
ergetic and %persevering members
of Protector Fire Go. No. 2 are
DESTROYS OF securing.
Such all engine is essential in
this place, and as the revenues of
the town at present, are not suffi.
Gent to make such an acquisition
the present excursion has been
prepared as an initial step to
raise the requisite means.
The train will stop at the vari.
Gus depots and embark and dc.
bark passengers going and re-
turning. From present indica>
tons this will be the largest ex-
cursiOn that has ever left this
Parish on any occasion.
Let every one who wishes a
days recreation or desires to visit
the city, secure n passage. 1t
will repay any one who will make
the trip.

The loss of the rice crop which

Parish of Lafourche. The yield
of that cereal ia 1873 reached

more likely fall short than exceed
that estimate. The cultiyators

ple, aud when disasters tall upon
that part of the agricultural in-
terest, it's Influence is seriously
felt throughout the Parish.
Rice growers as a general rule
can stand the loss Of a crop better
than any other class of farmers
because naturally economical and
careful they seldom have less
than a years provision standing
in stacks in their fields, which
will enable them to weather the
storm and await a more pros
porous year. But the value OF ii
crop scattered throughout the
Parish, the surplus used in build
ing, ditching, purchasing articles
of necessity and use, does a great
deal for the promotion of har>
mony and tranquility, whilst its
loss has a tendency to disconr-
age, and to arrest all species OF
improvement for the time being
thus throwing many laborers'
and mechanics out Of employment
by which they can earn their
daily bread.

A recent decision by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, be-
sides being of interest to owners
of vessels. sets forth all important
princi pie go ernlng all pay ments
to public oficials-the principle
that fees illegally collected may
be recovered at law. This ques-
ton was distinctly raised, aud OF
the two points decided by the
court it is the one of most gener-
al Importance and applicability.
The court thinks that ''sound
public policy requires us to hold
that a public officer who, by vir-
tue Of his office, demands aud
takes as fees for his services what
is not authorized, or more than is
allowed by law, should be compell.
ed to make restitutiOn.'
The above decision is a very
just one and should be enforced
in all courts of law. 1t is very
often the case that officers charge
fees double or treble what the
law affixes for the work, thereby
doing a serious injury to the un.
fortunate who has to pay the bill.
Not only ought public officials be
made to make restitution for over
charges, but they should be well
fined for making such overcharges
in fee bills.

q short while before midnights
the sugar house belonging to Mrs
Jean Webre, situated about j
miles above Thibodaux, was dis
covered to be Oh fire. II efforts
to check the confagra on were
futile, the entire buildings with
most of the wagons, carts, iplow,

ments appertaining to the planta-
ton were consumed. There was
an insurance on the sugar house
hut far from being sufficient to
cover the loss.
The origin of the fire is un-
known, but from all indications
it WAS the result of incendiarism.

The Plague In Russia.

Russian denials of the existence of the
plague at Astrakhan are as energetic as Aus
trian declarations the other way. Perhaps
it is in great part quarrel over names.
Some exceedingly severe contagious or cpl
demic malady is prevalent in parts of Rus
STA, and there are different statements of its
origin. Some say that it was brought home
by Cossacks, who caught it in Turkey. Others
that Moslem prisoners first had it, and
that it was caught from them by people
near their places of confinement. BY the
Russians it is called typhus, and by others
plague and either name is bad enough. 1t
is extremely fatal, and the bad condition in
which the Russian people generally live, and
their indifference to sanitary obligations,
are such as to excite the apprehension that
this malady may take in great part of the
country.

Nine public functionaries of Warren

feasance in Office and sentenced to hard
labor in the State Prison for periods OF from
one to sixteen years each. Forty -fve years
is the aggregate of imprisonment inflicted
on all the corrupt officials thus far found
guilty. Conspiracy to cheat and defrand
the town, and forgery to help out the
purposes of the conspiracy, are the crimes
of which all these men have been found
guilty. AS official thievery, more or less
extensive, is the vice of the time, and one
to be found everywhere, the news of these
verdicts will startle the country, and many
towns will be stirred up to emulate within
