VIZ axe reliably informed that the
insect which proved so destructive TO
the orange trees of this parish some
few years ago, have entirely disap-
Peared, and that in consequence thereof
some Of our citizens viii, at the p Ter
season, commence planting orange
seed. There are few orange trees IN
some portions of the parish that have
not been totally destroyed, which, with
proper trimming and care, may yet he
saved and made 10 bear in few wears.
Inc experiment in planting seed and
trying to save the trees that still ex-
hibit some life, is well worth the nm
dertaking. Since receiving the above
information ne have made a personal
investigation without discovering the
least sign of the return of the insect,
so we think there is no risk in giving
the orange tree another trial.

PRIvATE ESTERPHIsE.-The work of
bridging the Caleasieu river, between
the East and West Bay, undertaken
By the citizens of that section, is Ger
tainly laudable one, and shows a
spirit of enterprise which is worthy of
imitation. When completed IT will
not only demonstrate the old adage,
that where there is viii there is n
way bnt that those people are de-
ternined and resolute set of men, and
will push forward any enterprise, un-
dertaken by them, to completion,
though odds may be against them. We
hope to be able to keep our readers
posted as 10 the progress of this work.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, June 16.-The follow
ing named enlisted men of the sigma
corps. members of the Lady Franklir
bay expedition, will soon start for st
Johns: sessts. Edward Israel, d. C
Rallston, and H. s. Gardiner.
The treasury department to-day pur
chased 335. 900 ounces fine silver tor the
Philadelphia and San Francisco mints
The evening papers say that Pitney,
custodian of the treasury, will retire al
the close of the fiscal year, and Gen.
E. w. Whitaker, of this city, will sue
ceed him. He was Custer's chief OF
staff during the war. He is promi.
nent republican member of the Tow
path club.
Secretary Lincoln to-day referred to
Gen. Sherman's letter from Secretary
Kirkwood, relative to the establish
ment on the southern Ute reservation
OF new station by the Denver & Rio
Grande railway and the erection Of
saloons, dance houses &C., with the re-
quest that the general take the neces-
sary and proper action towards remov-
ing the intruders.
Commissioner of Pensions Bentley,
in resigning, takes occasion to write a
letter showing that great Improvement
Of the service, great economy and great
honesty characterized his administra-
ton of the Office. He wishes the ad-
ministration and his successor complete
success, and says the presidents request
for his resignation was no reflection on
his personal or official integrity, but
based on complaints of his manage
ment and..reorganization. 1t is under
stood that the president offered him a
foreign appointment, and he declined.
Washington, June 16.-The president
has decided to appoint Noah G. McFar-
land, Kansas, commissioner land office;
Marshal Dudley, Indiana, commits
sioner pensions, vice Bentley, who was
expected to resign this afternoon.
Dudley may be transferred to the pat
ent bureau next fall at his own request,
and Commissioner Marble be made as
sistant secretary of the interior. Gen.
Longstreet called on the president to-
day. He will be United States marshal
of Georgia after July 1st. He has not
thought of the Malone plan for divid-
ing the Georgia democrats, but is will
ing to do all possible for the republican
party. He does not consider the pros
pect brilliant. Secretary Window to-
day emphatically denied the story tele-
graphed here that he refused to publish
the report Of the treasury committee
because it reflected on Secretary Sher-
man. The report bears heavier on Pit
ney than anybody else. The story about
Sherman originated with Whitney, who,
when called on to speak out, sheltered
himself behind the plea of eliminating
himself.

New York, June 16.-The so-called
anti-machine republican central COM
mittee tonight adopted resolutions that
Depew having majority OF the repub-
lican votes Of the legislature, it was the
duty Of the members who desired the
state to be represented in the United
States senate by two republican sena-
tors, to concentrate their votes without
further delay on Depew, and thus throw
the responsibility for defeating the
election for republican senators upon
the adherents of the senators who had
created the vacancies by resigning, and
that those members Of the legislature,
while refusing to vote for the re-elec-
tion Of Cenkling and Platt, scattered
their votes among impossible candi-
dates, would be he held responsible for
injury to the party for the non-election
Of republican senators.
