In our opinion, New Orleans
must abandon the shabby gsn-
feel" habits into which she has
fallen, extricate herself from her
present financial muddle, and re-
establish her good standing, if she
expects to realize her hopes OF fu-
ture wealth and prosperity. She
must ''tote fair" with her creditors,
and economize, economic and
economize-lop off all superfuous
offices, and curtail official salaries
down to the lowest notch, even
though it should become necessary
to request her Administrators to
serve a few terms for glory" And
it would be a glorious reflection for
them to know that they were large
ly instrumental in placing the
old fossil on her feet
again, and sent her on her way re-
joicing.

There appears to be only one way
in WHICH the city of New Orleans
can free itself from debt, and that
is as follows: Let board of APP
praisers be appointed, whose duty
it shall be to appraise the entire
property of the city, public and
private, and then advertise it for sale
by the Sheriff for cash. If it fails
to bring two-thirds of the appraise-
ment, let it be readvertised and sold
for what it will bring on twelve
months credit, with bond approved
security, as the law directs. the
proceeds to be used to iquidate
the public debt. Then let q special
tax of $50 cents on the dollar be
levied for the purpose of replenish-
ing the treasury. We think this
would bring matters around all
right.

The Natchitoches Register has
tumbled to the racket of the city
press, and abandoned its opposition
to an extra session of the Legis-
lature. il the hope that something
may be done for the benefit of
New Orleans. We object, on the
ground that it would be establish
ing bad precedent. If the Legis-
lature is convened in extra session
for the relief of New Orleans, then
every other bankrupt bog-hole ip
the State might with equal con-
sistency demand an extra session,
to devise means for their relief.
Better let bad enough alone, with
out trying to make it worser and
worser.

The unusual quiet which reigned
in the vicinity of the Courthouse
during the term of the District
Court this week, was largely due to
the discipline and systematic man
ner of procedure for which Judge
Thompson is noted. While not
unnecessarily strict, he believes in
maintaining order and decornm, to
the end that the labors of the Court
may not be disturbed or retarded.
The wisdom and economy of this
course is evidenced by the fact that
a much lar er amount of bnsiress is
transacted in o shorter time now
than has been done heretofore,
which naturally results in great
saving to the taxpayers of the
parish. In the accomplishment of
this very desirable result, the Judge
is ably seconded by our efficient
District Attorney, S. D. Ellis, ESQ.,,
and also by the Clerk, Sheriff, and
other officers of the court.

The annual report from Sing
Sing Prison, New York, shows that
it cleared $1,000 last season from
convict labor. Why can't Louisi-
ana do the same thing when the
Legislature meets?-Baton Rouge
Capitclian..
Louisiana can clear at least ten
times that amount every year, by
starting the cotton mill in the
Penitentiary. The convicts, who
are at present leased to outside
parties. and are engaged in clear
ing land, digging bitches, ETC., can
be utilized to great profit by the
State, in planting, cultivating and
picking cotton, and manufacturing
it into cloth, which could be sold
to our merchants cheaper than the
same quality of goods can be pur-
chased from factories at distance.

The New Orleans Picauupe q

The New Orleans Picayune an
nounces that the ton of cane bagasse,
recently shipped to an Ohio paper
mill by Messrs. Zoos & Barnett, OF
St. Mary, made 900 pounds OF
paper stock, which sold at 6 cts. per
pound. As the freight is estimated
at 81 per ton, it will thus be seen
that, allowing for cost of baling,
each ton of bagasse will net upwards
of $40 to the shipper. The Plea
yune expresses surprise that, in view
of this fact, paper mill has not
been already established in Louisi-
ana to work up the bagasse.-Sugar

A PROGRESSIVE RACE.
Saws the Tallahassee Floridiar

Says the Tallahassee Floridian:
An enterprising darkey, of a cal
culat;ng turn of mind, called a few
days since on a gentleman who
owns a garden in the western part
of the city, and represented that
the garden was partly growing up
with grass, which, if left to go to
seed, would render it impossible to
grow vegetables on the spot next
year, and proposed to cut it down
for a certain sum, which che gentle
man agreed to pay. He then went
to the gentleman who had recently
rented the premises and made the
same proposition, which was again
accepted, the latter not knowing, of
course. that the owner had agreed
to pay for the work, as tie darby
had stldiously kept that to himself.
After cutting the grass and collect
ing pay from both gentlemen, our
hero proceeded to the owner of a
COW, sold the grass for double what
he charged for cutting it, pocketed
four times as much money as the
work was worth, and went Oh his
way humming: "Jesus my all to
Heaven is gone" Now, who says
the African is not progressive
race?

The columns of paper are the
publishers stock in trade, and the
parties who ask to use them for
their special benefit must expect to
pay for the same. Every public
spirited citizen of a place should
have pride in seeing his town and
surroundings improve; every new
house, every road, every new manu-
featuring establishment erected,
every new business opened, en-
hances the value Of property in our
midst. Every rejecting mind knows
this to be true, and it should not
be forgotten that the local news
paper adds much to the general
wealth and prosperity Of the place,
as well as increases the reputation
of the town abroad. 1t helps all who
have business in the place: enhances
the value of property, besides being
a desirable public convenience, even
if not conducted in the interests of
the ruling political power. 1t in
creases trade, it cautions against i'm
position, it saves you from loss. it
warns you of danger, it points out
different advantages, and increases
your profits. The local press is the
power that moves the people: there
fore support it by advertising in it
literally, subscribing for it, and pay
ing for it.-Er.

RESOURCES oF THE SoUTH.-Mr.
Edward Atkinson, of Boston, than
whom no man is more able to ex-
press an opinion, says that we do
not begin as yet to appreciate the
magnitude of the wealth to be reap
ed from cotton culture in this coun-
try. He says the present crop of
cotton will be % per cent larger
than that ever raised by slaves
that is. will exceed 100000 bales.
If it be of that amount, it will pro-
duce 100000 tons of cotton seed,
besides seed for planting, which
will yield 90,000,QO0 gallons of oil,
!, 100000 tons of oil cake and l, $780,
900 tons of hulls suitable for making
paper. Each ton of the oil seed
meal will keep five sheep six months.
Thus the cotton seed crop will sup
port millions of sheep and return
to the land the fertilizer needed to
grow more cotton. He further says
that the present cotton acreage OF
the South covers less than 2 per
cent of the cotton-growing area in
the United States.

eral Assembly of this State. We

Gov. Wilt will stick to his record

[St. Landry Democrat
Like the Bossier Banner, we are
, opposed to an extra session of the
Legislature. If the members of
that body could not, would not, or
did not know hpw to perform their
duties during q ninety days ses-
sion, they will hardly do SO during
an extra session. The people have
already paid for, or been saddied
with the debt for having the Legis-
lature work done, and they should
not pay q second time for the mere
chance OF having it done. We
doubt if any profit accrues from
extra sessions, except to those who
are paid for holding them. 1t would
be bast to have not even another
regular session until new Legis-
lature is elected, in view of the
neglect or incompetency of the
present one.
