THE Boston Herald thinks there is show
for Sherman, and says "He will start the
convention with his own State and enough
strength besides to make a respectable fol-
lowing. He will stand third on the list.
When Grant and Blaine shall have killed each
other off, delegates will begin to ask what
candidate will be the strongest before the peo-
pie. This will be Sherman's hour. He is
exceptionally strong in the pivotal State,
New York. The men who furnish the ''sin-
ews of war; have confidence in him. The
"scratchers" will not scratch his name. The
names Of prominent Democl attic business men
claimed as ready to go for him on business
principles are quite numerous. He would
be strong in the whole Northwest, where he
is well known and understood. The Massa-
chusetts delegation will do well to keep
Sherman in mind"

A letter from Lima, dated Nov. II.

After some Introductory remarks Sir
Anthony said
think I am not far wrong in my belief
that Jamaica is now generally regarded
as a hopelessly ruined community, which
was once prosperous, but has become %
wreck of its former self; that the negro
population arc an idle, thriftless, vag
bond people, refusing to work and fast
lapsing into heathenish savagery and that
if only the civilising influence of the cult
walton OF the chief staple, which is the
sugar cane, should altogether cease or be
very much diminished, then nothing can
save this once magnificent Colony from
utter degradation, and the bulk of her
people from the condition of their African
forefathers.
1t probably will very much surprise q
great many to be assured that tho whole
of this is an erroneous view. Although
causes which have operated elsewhere in
like manner have reduced the export of
sugar and rum which are the chief staples,
yet the diminution during the last ten
years, supposed to be the worst IN the his
tory of the Colony, has not been important;
n variation in the quantity OF agricultu-
raj produce is always to be expected. The
mass of the people, so far from deserving
the evil reputation which has been indis-
criminately applied to them, will compare
in many respects not ~unfavourably with
the peasantry of other countries. And it
is Inconsistent with fact to suppose that
the population are dependent for their pre-
sent well being or their future prosperity
upon the cultivation of the sugar estates;
the truth being that probably this industry
does not afford direct employment to more
than about five per cent of the total popu-
probably be regarded as scarcely credible;
and in order that there may be no miscon.

From the ABOVE, II appears evident that
on the whole it is more profitable to sell
the canes than to manufacture them at
home, but that it is especially so in wet
years, when the canes are not so rich in
saccharine matter, as they have been dur
ing the past season. | hope however that
the whole question Will DO thoroughly
gone into by others, who are able to throw
light upon it, feeling convinced that the
more the matter is examined, the more
completely will the value of Central
Factories to the planters Of this island be
demonstrated.
Let it be remembered however, that the
above figures only deal with tho direct
advantages afforded by the Factory and
that l have only slightly touched upon
those indirect advantages in the way of
saying OF attention for agricultural pur.
poses alone, of labour, and early taking off
the crop, ichjcb aTe otter all tie greatest

know there will be objected: Your
assumption, that such an estate can send
to a factory station canes equal to ~ hhdS.
DR.. week, is erroneous, for when there is
a good crop on the island, the estates will
in respect to the quantity of canes to be
delivered, be put OH allowances, and an
estate OF the size mentioned may not be
allowed to deliver more than half the
quantity of canes, no more than 10 hhds.
pr. week. | reply:
Those estates which sell their canes to
the Factory, will always have an early
crop,to commence in December or January.
An estate like the one mentioned, will, If
put on allowance, as said, consequently
fake 16 instead of S weeks for finishing
the crop: but this will still be finished
in good time, before the end of May, only
with this difference, that there will be used
only half the number Of hands, and halt
the number of carts pr. day, and that the
other half, viz. 26 hands and 6 carts, Will
be at the disposal of the estateIfor attending
TO the pieces for the next years crop ;
while, in case YOU grind your canes at the
e~state'si works, all hands, about 90 Ill
number, and all carts will be occupied
during the same space OF time, at the
least, in taking off a crop, which will com
mence late and finish late, and keep the
estate backward in every respect.
