Pointc Coupce Banner: This week
We lavo had the satisfaction of meeting
and couvcrsing with intelligent gcntlc-
men from every portion of the parish,
aud they all agree il their crop reports,
viz: That tho frequent showers of tho
past two months, followed by hot sun
shine, injured the old cotton very much
by causing il to she'd and drop its forms.
All report the young cotton in fine cor.
dition, md tho cane crop not to bc sur
passed. 1t is not estimated that the
last four or five days Of rain will have
any very bad effect upon cotton, pro-
yldcd We should now have % continued
spell of good weather.

one in Texas; one in Florida, and on > In New
York above the latitude of Albany. To in
augurate these farms q large sum will not be
necessary, and after the first year the expense
will be more than paid by the results OF the
cultivation at each station.
3. An increased appropriation for the gar
dens and grounds of the Department, which
embraces experimental cultivation and propa-
CATION of trees, plants, etc., for distribution.
This appropriation should be Increased to at
least $4,000.
4. An increased appropriation of 50, 900 for

from the museum and botanical divisions of
this Department.
5. A renewal OF the appropriation of $4,000

6. A renewal of the appropriation of 5000
for continuing the investigation of the history
and habits of insects injurious to agriculture,

further sum of 5000 to pay the necessary SAL
aries and contingent and travelling expenses

Z. An additional appropriation of $1,000 to

An appropriation of 5000 to erect stable

the agricultural interests of the country a
more liberal support than has been done in
the past.

AGRICULTURAL REPORTS.

We are under obligations to General VIM.
G.. LIE Due, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Washington City, for reports Of the Com
missioner of Agriculture for the years 1877
and 1873. A cursory examination of the
volumes reveals the feet that they ought to
have the widest possible distribution
throughout the agricultural districts of the
country. The information they contain
can not fail to be OF incalculable
value to every farmer and every stu.
dent of agriculture. Indeed we are fully
persuaded, all things considered, that they
are the most valuable documents that en-
anate from the Government printing estab-
lishment. The most causal reading Of the
volumes before us will not fail to make the
impression upon the average mind that the
Government has been studiously niggardly
in is appropriations to advance the agri-
cultural interests OF of the country. As an
evidence of this the following tsbulsted state
ment of appropriations is conclusive:
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1880-04-21

WE find in the report of the Commissioners
of Emigration of the German Empire some
very important facts and figures. The total
number of emigrants from Germany in the
year 1879 was 33 ,S27, of whom ~, 200 were males
or this entire number SO,SUS, of whom 1852
were males, came to the United States. There
Is an increase OF the total emigration in 1879 OF
over 9,O00 persons, ana of the emigration to
the United States 10, AS. Grave apprehensions
are entertained IN Germany that this year
will will witness an activity in emigration
which win recall the great movement of 1871
and 1872 From signs already apparent in the
Empire, a large and I1ost valuable class of the
population are making preparations to remove
TO this country.-New YORK Tribune.
In view of such facts it is eminently
proper to remark that but for the Demo-
cratic party, the Germans who are now COM
ing and VINO have immlgrated TO this coun-
try during the past twenty-five years, would
have been required to remain here twenty.
one years before they could have obtained
the rights Of citizens. The Know n othings
of 1854 ara the Republicans of to-day, the
men who made war upon citizens
of foreign birth, upon the Catholic
Church and upon Democratic traditions
relating to the rights Of foreign-born citizens.
Even now, Republican papers in discussing
the importation of pauper negroes into Indi.
ana for the purpose Of voting the Republic
can ticket, have sneeringly pointed to the
fact that Europe is sending forward her poor
people, thereby seeking to compare German
and other European immigrants with the
pauper negroes Of the South, who have been
shipped to Indiana like mules and swine to
vote. It may be well for our foreign born
citizens to review the subject somewhat, and
to make a note OF the fact, that when their
rights were in psril it was the Democratic
party that crushed the Know-NotAing
schems TO deprive them of their rights.

from head TO heels with diamonds and
other precious rocks. The Theebawers will
then build their Theebaw q throne,
as high as church steeple,
OF gold and silver bricks put golden scep-
ter in his hand as big az saw-log, aud raise
him to his imperial seat of jasper and pearls
by their own unaided jackass power. This
done, they will, at the sound of brass horns
and rams horns, proclaim him the founder
OF Republican TheebawIan dynasty in the
West-Grant -TheeDaw the Prince of Pow
der and Lead and. Supreme and Royal Bang
Starter Whisky Ring Monarch Of the World /;
His Most Exalted Boom Boozled Majesty,
Lord of Cocktails and August Guzzler of
Gin-Slings; the Great Sovereign OF Bull-Pup-
dom and the Infallihle Judge OF Horse Flesh.
The Burmah Theebaw, when he assembled
the throne, took early measures TO establish
his dynasty upon firm foundation. He
killed off those whom he imagined might
give him trouble In the future. AT first
the Burmah Theebaw had his victims
led from their cells into his presence
in twos and threes; then the hesds
OF brothers and sisters "were tied to their
respective pairs of uncles, and blows with
heavy club on the backs Of their necks ended
their misery. But this soon proved too mild
q spectacle for the fendish malignity of
Theebaw. One OF his elder brothers pro-
fsssed utter scorn for what could be done to
him, and was logged to death. Another,
who had looked upon foreigners as the dirt
beneath his feet, snd as utterly unworthy to
crawl between Heaven and earth, was
tainted and driven to madness before re-.
ceiving half fatal blow, and his writhing
body was then thrown into the gigantic
trench dag to receive the dead. A former
Governor OF Rangoon had his nose and mouth
illed with gunpowder, match was applied,
and he was also flung into the trench, to be
stuffed By the succeeding bodies. One young
girl of sixteen was pitched into the same
heaving grave, after having suffered every
outrage which could be devised by eight
soldiers OF the guard. One pregnant Prin-
cess was cut in two, and her husband was
died. The massacre was carried on in this
Ieisurely fashion until Theebaw and the
execuioners wearied OF the sport; then the
women were simply battered over the head,
and the children were swung against the pal
ace walls" It IS hardly to be supposed that
the Republican Grant tt esoaw 1. will pur
sue the Burmah example to the letter. The
young Theebaws, male and female, are not
likely to suffer after the Burmah fashion,
but Blame and Sherman, Washburne and
Edmunds, with all the dark horses of the
realm, will have,to look out, for Grant.Thee.
baw l. will not be likely to permit them to
roam about loose to insugurate booms and
concoot plans to overthrow his dynasty.
Duke Roscoe and Prince Don will show
them the Rhode Island quick-step and thu
panhandle route to land beyond Grant
heebsw's dominions. The Republican party,
The Theebawers, are engaged in scheme to
overthrow the liberties of the people and TO
establish Theebawism in America.

DEPART.
NfENT4

Such figures tell with wonderful emphasis
just about what the Government thinks of
agriculture, and 1t would be difficult to show
by figures greater contempt. To make the
case still stronger, it is shown by the census
of 1870 that AZ 35 per cent. OF the population
Of the country was engaged in agriculture,
and the estimate is made that in 1873 So 6
per cent. were engaged in agriculture. Ia
1870 the value of farms, farm animals
and farm implements was $11,124,-
$50. 037, or 80 per cent. of all others COM
bined. For 1879 these values were
placed at $13, 46l 200, 433. Taking these
figures into consideration the vast
interests represented. the fact that
Congress insults the intelligence Of the
country by its appropriations to advaaee
agricultural interests becomes still moro CON-
spicuous. This policy ought to be changed
and IL the farmers of the country were true
to themselves, it would be changed. Gen.
eral lie Duo is profoundly interested In the
work of his department, and the reports be-
fore us are proof positive that no department
of the Government performs more valuable
service. In closing his report, General LIE
Due says:

the bill passed yesterday. The Repub-
