WON'T CONE BACK. - Some
time >ince,, Mr.. John A. Sigur, a
well known planter of this State
being short OF hands on his own
place, Was commissioned by seve
raj other planters similarly situa
ted, to go to Kansas for Il supply,
fully expecting to secure all that
tWere needed. He was not u
cesSfnl-not being able to secure
a single one, although he offered
good wages, extra rations and pay
during the rolling reason ana
their passage to the plantations
On which they were to labor. He
found most OF the exodusters iiv-
Ing IN ease and a fair state OF com
fort, beng supported in idIeness
by the contributions of philanthro
plsts throughout the north and
from England, while hundreds
are daily being added to the NUN
Der OF idlers already in Kansas.
Under such circumstances, we
need not wonder at his want of
Success. The natural condition
OF the uegro is incidence aud he
shows it whenever opportunity
presents itself. He found mauy
white farm Iaborers willing aud
anxious to remove South at any
thing like reasonable wages, and
could have secured many more
hands than he needed, but his in.
structions being to engage ne
groes, he declined their services
until he could communicate with
bis employers. Whether they are
willing to employ white laborers
for field service Or not we have
not learned, but we would respec
fully suggest that u fair trial be
given to westerh farm hands on
our plantations and if they give
anything like satisfaction at the
beginning, no doubt they can
soon be made equal to the labor
required of them the year Found.
In such Il case, however, great
changes will have to he made in
the manner of feeding and provi-
ding for such labor. We are no
prophet, but to us it appears that
the doom Of negro labor on Il
rice, sugar aud cotton plantations
Is already appearing in the cult
waited dlstricts.-He is marching
to his own destruction with no
power on earth to stay him.
Other labor must be substituted
as speedily as possible and the
quicker the planter begins his ex
periments the better.-Sugar Plan

The ~abOlninatiOn of
err LafOurChe.

For three months or more the
Bayou LafOurche has been low ;
for three months time has been
given the Board of State Engi
neers to have the crevasses at
Canciennes aud Guedry's closed,
for three months applications
have been sent to that Board to
let out the contracts for closing
those breaches and for three
months not one thing has been
done by that Board. Men, own
ers of the Cancienne property,
and residents thereon. whose in
terests r vitality effected, and
whose future hopes depend upon
the closing OF that crevasse, have
been ready to take the contract
to lebuild the Levee, and if it
had been let out two months ago,
they would have completed the
work, and gone to improving
their plantation with energy and
OAASAO pAOopCCIS
But no! red tape and nonsense
must prevail. When the Bayou
begins to rise, Their the Engineers
will come hurrylng up here to re
bAill t e broken levces aud get
them done about Is minutes be
fore the water is up against the
work, ready TO saturate it and
burst it to pieces again.
This Is wisdom and science
that common men, somehow or
other, cannot appreciate, or even
comprehend.
The Law creating the Board of
State Engineers at the last ses
sion of the Legislature is one Of
the most stupeu4pus specimens of
folly that ever PASSED Il legisla
tive BODY.
Practically it is nothing but All
instrument of wrong and injury
TO the people of lower Louisiana.
Were we not charitable enough
to think that not more than five
members of that body ever saw
the law before it was printed at
ter the Legislature adjourned, We
would cheeltaiiy vote to send the
whole of them to the Insane
Asylum.

The New Organ at st
JOseph's Church.

Last Sunday morning at 8
O'clock, the good people of St
Joseph's Congregation beard fol-
the first time the peaiing of the
new instrument which has been
recently erected in the.'church. 1t
is from the mandatory of Pill
cher g. Son, Louisville, Kentucky,
and cost two thousand five hrn
dred dollars.
The mass selected for the inau.
guration of the new organ was
that of BOrgbese which was eX-
cellently rendered by the church
choir, reinforced by some of the
best musical talent OF The parish.
The solos OF Mrs. j. A. Troue and
of Mr.. O.Snllivan are worthy OF
mention. AT the o1ertory, Mr..
Meteye, the celebrated tenor OF
New Orleans, sang the beautiful
Ave Maria of Cherubini. Mr..
Bremmer, also OF New Orleans,
joined Mr.. MetGye in executin.
the O Salutaris Of Curto at the
elevation. 1t is needless to SAY
that both these pieces were rem
dered ia the highest artistic style.
The sermon was preached by
Very Rev. Father Mignot Of the
Cathedral who selected as his
subject the art of Music in it's re
lations to Christian Worship.
The discourse was repiete with
valuable information on the
theme chosen for the occasion.
One remark particularly arrested
our attention. 1t was that at the
birth of Our Saviour, Music alone,
OF all the arts WAS present. Meth
er Sculpture. nor painting was re
presented on. that OCCASION, but
the angels lowered over tn" man
ger OF the child. God and chanted
that glOri"us canticle:
"GIOry be to God in the highest,
and peace on earth to mea Of
good will
In the evening, a sacred cons
cert was given in the church., for
the purpose OF raising the neces-
sary amount to iiquidate the bal
due on the organ.
AS the weather was superb.
and the night illumined by the
falrest of moon lights, the atten>
dance was very large. The con-
cert began at the appointed hour
with commendable punctuality.
In another column We give a
full account of the concert.

A prominent Republican, Hon. H. B..
F&well, oil Illinois, tells in q card how
that statewas carried for Grant. He
says by the desperate exertions of Sem
ator Logan, Green B. Raum, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue and his col
lectors, and the disgrseeful interference
OF National officials in the primaries
and county conventions, the State has
been apparently carried for Grant by
beggarly majority OF thirty-eight with
Cook county, the most popnlous in the
State, unrepresented. He charges thst
the State Convention was packed from
its organization, and the Chairman was
ordered to recognize only cerssin per-
SONS, who were known to be for Grant.
Debate Was cut OFF. or parliamentary
usases overruled, as the exigencies OF
the case required.
Mr.. Farwell is one of the most prom
inent Republicans IN the State of Him
DIS, and an ardent supporter OF Blaine.
In card under his signature he accuses
a United States Senator. the Revenue
Commissioner and his collectors OF con-
duct, which. il praeticea south of Ma
SON & Dixon's line, would be called a
Southern outrage, and made the pre-
text for waving the bloody shirt and
sending troops and deputy marshais 10
protect the .bulldozed and intimidated.
This shows how the strong man and
his cohorts intend to ride into power
over the will OF the majority. 1t iadi-
Gates why Copkling, now that Grants
star IS IN the ascendancy, is OPP
posed to any Congressional legislation
providing sor an impartial count OF
the Electoral vote, so as TO obvate the
necessity OF again going outside the
limits OF the Constitution to create an
Eight TO Seven Commission to ser aside
the VIII OF the majority as expressed at
the ballot box. Conkhsg knows that
il Grant is the nominee OF the Chicago
Convention, he and the men who are
backing hin for the race will find some
pretext for overriding the majority as
they did IL New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois, and that he viii attempt
to count himself il regardless OF the
majority against him The army Of
100, 90 Federal officers, whose terms
OF office viii depend upon his success,
viii uphold him, and as Farwell says OF
the Illinois Convention. which was
packed from its organization. and de
late cut OF and Parliamentary usu.ges
overrUled, the Constitution and the
laws. and the expressed VIII OF the ma
iority, viii not keep MIN out 0; the
White House.
