Agricultural inquiries have proved the exist
enee Of about G, 700 900 acres of uncultiVated and
unprOductive lands belonging to the communes
aud to the public establishments. avs we're
passed in 1860 to encourage, and in certain cases
to compel, the re-wooding of these lands.
When the re-wooding is optional it is encour-
aged by bounties it is compulsory for the COM
munes, public establishments, and even private
proprietors, within a circuit where this work is
considered absolutely indispensable, and the ex-
tent Of which is fixed by a decree rendered III
Council Of State, after the accomplishment of
certain formalities. The action of these laws
extends over about five millions of acres. From
1861 to 1868 the works of obligatory re-wooding
affected 52,6S4 acres, and the works Of optional
re-wcOding extended to IA go acres. The
Forest Service mad created in 1868 more than ATS
acres of permanent nurseries, besides a great
many temporary ones. They were able to de-
liver more than 20 millions of plants a year.

Without obtaining a preliminary ''delivrance"
from the proprietor, the m cannot take
the wood to which he is entitled. When COM
moners have a right to a definite cutting they
are obliged to present to the administration a re-
sponsible contractor, who will perform the cut
ting, subject to all the rules prescribed to pur-
chasers OF timber in the interest of the forests.
In regard to the prescriptiye right to dead or
fallen wood, it is limited by the prohibition of
the use OF any hook or iron instrument on penal
ty of a fine of 8 francs. The commoner has q
right to wood only for his necessities and those
of his family, and not for sale or export. He
cannot help himself to wood without being au-
thorized to do so by the proprietor of the forest,
IN the mode technically termed a I" deliverance."

y conflagration (incendie) intentionally made
in the forest of another is a crime; an involuntary
one is a DELFT, misdemeanor, when it results from
carelessness or in any case when the fire is lighted

terror of any forest, public or private, entails a
fine Of from 20 10 100 francs. The same applies

WHAT REPRESENTATIVE ACKLIN SAYS
Representative Acklin, Of Louisiana, in an
interview here, makes the following bold
announcement OF the purposes OF the Dem
crazy in Louisiana: That Wilt Will be
elected Governor by good majority; that
the Legislature to be chosen will redistrict
the State; that all the congressional dis
trictS are assured to the Democrats now, but
bis (Acklin's) district is considered the
doubtful one. He says that he has carried
it twice for the Democrats and can carry it
again, but that in the abundance OF eau
ton it will be so arranged in the redistrlct-
ing of the congressional districts to make
it easy to carry.
As to Kellogg. he said: "The Democrats
are unanimous that he ought to be unscat-
cd. Still do not think anything will be
done until after the presidential election.
think after that kellogg will have to 60,
and that the Senate Will not seat Spotford,
but will simply declare the seat vacant. In
that case, Governor Wilt will appoint a
senator for the uneXpired term. We have
now provided for biennial sessions VI the
Legislature, and il kellogg is turned out
in 1881 there will be no session until his
term would have expired. Hence, Gov
ernor Wilt would have the appointment

I'VE doubt that Mr.. Ackln said all this.

Safety OF the Captiyes--0uray's Time

ST. louis, October 2S.-The following

Of the Associated Press at Los Pinos, Col
OradO:
Los PIN0s, COLORADO, October "a, ria
DEL NoRTE. COLORADO, October 2S.-We
have lust arrived from the Indian camp on
Plateau creek. The women and children
are safe at Chief Ouray's house. Mr.. Meek
er's papers were burned, and what money
Mrs. Meeker had was taken from her by
Douglas. The intentions were TO Kill the
women and children, as the windows OF the
room in which they first took refuge were
riddled With bullets the instant they left it
for a more secure place in the mllk.room.
Mrs. Meeker thinks Susan, the SquaW-Wlfe
of Chief johnson, did more to save their lives
than all the others. Jacks band fought the
troops until Douglass men killed the agent
and employees. The arrangements for
fight with Merritt's command were the
most complete. Two hundred Arapahoes
had Joined Jack, with many others from
npighboriug tribes. Had it not been for
the timely arrival OF Chief Ouray's order

Insurance and Financial Circses fD ST:
Louis Much Excited.

ST., Louis. October 27.--Insurance and
professional circles were. a good deal excited
to-day by the presentation to Judge Wick
ham, ef the Circuit Court, by Thomas Il.
Tatuul, attorney for three policy-holders OF
the St. Louis Life-Insurance Company, OF
an application asking the court to order Silas
Bent, receiver OF said insurance company,
to bring suit against certain persons named
10 recover money and property wrong!ully
taken or received by them belonging to the
st. Louis Mutual Life-insurance Company.
The application is backed BY an affidaylt
made by Frank j. Bournan, M attorney,
which alleges that in 1873 certain we'll
known citizens Of this city formed an asso-
citation and entered into conspiracy to
wreck the st. Louis Life-InSurance Compa-
ny in favor OF the New York Life-Insur-
ance Company; but, after taking the initial
steps in the scheme, they found they could
make more money by turning it over to the
Mound City Life, and, therefore, wrecked
it In favor or that, company ut an expense
OF many thousand dollars paid to different
individuals for their aid to influence in the
matter. One OF the persons referred to 10
the affidavit Is prominent lawyer at the
bsr, who was present when tue application
was made, and entered vigorous protest
against it being granted by tho court. SPIT
rited speeches were made on both sides, and
Judge Wickham tualIy ordered the affidavit
to be fled aud referred TO the receiver, and
that the latter make n report on the case.
There are now suits pending against TWO
or three prominent citizens other than those
mentioned in the affidavit, brought by Re-
ceiver Bent to recover money alleged TO
have been Illegally paid 10 them out OF
funds belonging to the st. Louis Mutual
Life, and this case seems to have grown
out Of the strong belief and positive asser-
ton that a number Of persons in this city
have large sums Of money which properly
belong to this company. r, ~ -

WEST PoINT, October 28.-Between and
7 O'Clock this evening sparks from loco
motive set fire TO quantity of cotton on the
dock here awaiting shipment north.
Superintendent Douglas, fearing that
the fire might prove serious, conferred with
the Richmond Fire Department, and at 9
o'clock Steamer No. 2 and u detachment OF
men Of Companies and 2, in command OF
First-Assistant Engineer Taylor, were sent
down to aid in suppressing the flames.
Meanwhile a stream from the Baltimore
freight-steamers' boat Lucille, in charge Of
First Mate Gaggin, was put upon the fire,
and by their heroic work and judicious ap-
plication Of water the fire was kept under
control until the New York steamship
Richmond arrived about y, when stream
from that vessel was put on, too, and the
danger OF Il serious conflagration was soon
past.
THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
The Richmond men, after safe run,
reached the Point shortly after 10, and one
Of the powerful steamer streams of the
Richmond engine put the finishing touches
to the labors of the men who did so much.
Before their arrival about one thousand
bales OF cotton were upon the wharf, OF
which only about two hundred were de-
stroyed or injured, and the rest removed
beyond the reach OF the fire.
None OF the docks or sheds were at all in

night, but everybody here and on the line
OF the road is gratitied that the loss and
damage has been so slight.
Colonel Douglas expresses bis gratitude
to the Richmond men in warm terms, and
is doubtless more than pleased at the speedy
extinguishment of what at one time was
feared would prove a serious affair. The
Richmond fremen will be up early in The
morning. -,
