with regard to the Factory, but consider
ing that the result of the campaign after
all is yet unknown and will not be known to
outsiders before the accounts are present
ed at the General Meeting in Novem-
Der, we think any such action now
would be premature. If we are rightly
informed, then against the dark picture Of
our correspondent there is one bright spot
in the Factory's history during the past
campaign, namely, that it has produced
q proportionately larger quantity of sugar
than hitherto from the canes supplied.
, 1881-06-29

We have received copies of two tables
constructed to show the value Of sugar
cane at different sugar prices. One table
shows the value when the canes are paid
for at the rate Of 81 lbs. of sugar for 100 lbs.
of cane, and the other shows the value
when the canes are paid for at the rate of
6 lbs. per 100. Attached to the tables is
an explanatory notice, with a practical
had for a small charge at the Club and

baby be found useful to planters dealing
with the factory in drawing up their ao-
counts for canes delivered. Even those who

would find these tables of service as
means Of checking their work without

To the Editor Of the st. Croir AVis.
DEAR SIR |!

The half-heart of st. Croix, the
Factory, has for a time ceased to
beat. It has manufactured it's IS or
$4,000 bags Of sugar, quenched the
fire under its boilers, stopped its
hard working pumps, and now is
resting after its tolls. The factory,
as is we'll known, is Of a completely
democratic origin, being founded on
the most democratic principle of all,
viz. on shares. Still it has long ago
disowned its origin, it is now fenced
with such an aristocratic atmosphere,
that we, who live next door to it,
who daily may smell the smoke and
see the fire from it, in reality know
as much Of its real state as if it lay
in Spitzbergen on its door it has
written that it declines remarks and
that visits are not wished for. How
ever a day must como for making up
the accounts, even if these be of a
very ar~istocratic character. We will
then see whether Statecouncillor
Tietgcn will again demand the word
in order to show up the renowned
surplus Of Is crowns, at the same
time taking the opportunity in a
friendly way to punch the heads o fthe
planters in order to keep them
to their duty, or whether a splen-
did result of the campaign will
be exhibited. Alas! I believe the
first thing will happen. It is suhi-
GENTLY known that when the factory
was founded, 8 to 10 hours were cal
culated to take off a strike, and al
though, as aforementioned, there is
much difficulty in g%ettirg inside the
palisades, still it is a well known fact,
that most of the strikes in this cam
paign have taken double the time, or,
by way Of change, triple the time.
As at the same time there is no re-
port that Goals have gone down q
hundred p. ct. in price, there is all
reason to believe, hat this circum-
stance alone is sufficient to swallow
up the profits and very likely some
thing more, even if we do not consider
the prolongation of working hours,
the impossibility of taking as many
canes as planters could deliver etc.
1t might be objected that it would
be early enough to bring forward
these pessimist reflections when the
accounts were published, but for
friends of the Island and friends of
the factory this would not be early
enough. If really a total change is
necessary,-and seldom has public
opinion been more unanimous than
with regard to this necessity,-if year
after wear shows the impossibilitv of

The NlipnnerchOr Concert.

The concert given by the Co. =. Al
bus Mannerchor last Saturday even
ing at their hall in this city was well
attended, aud to an unprejudiced and
impartial hearer, discoursed music
of high order, and in a manner far
ahead of ordinary home musical
talent. We do not profess to be u
critic 10 this department, aud the
only way we judge of music ia the
effect and thrill il produces in what
we possess of a musical nature, and
We must be permitted to say that
some of the music discoursed Sat
urday evening thrilled and pierced
every musical chord of our makeup.
and thus we judge of its quality
Don't understand us to make invid-
ious distinctions among those who
sang and those who made the in
struments talk, for ali did well and
nobly their parts. hut we did want
to say that we doubt whether there
is another home association in the
State that can discourse as good
music as was heard at the Manner-
chor hall Saturday evening, and we
incline to the belief that the audience
will agree with us. but if not, il is a
free country, and We shall never
withdraw the expression of our
opinion of the music of that concert.

Concrete Houses.

1t is to be hoped that more OF
these houses will be built in the
future, being SD easily put up, so
durable and so cheap. There are
now in Platte county six of these
houses, some OF them erected eight
years ago, and all giving good salts
faction. A man of ordinary intelli-
gence can construct the walls him
self; hiring carpenter and a
plasterer to do the remainder of the
work, and his house is completed, at
a much less cost than many may
imagine. We are moved TO speak OF
this matter at present because We
learn from Mr.. Kinney, who put up
a concrete house the past summer,
that he is very much pleased with il.
Not having kept strict account, he
is not able to give its cost, but he
saws much less than S400, and il is
lSx26 feet, two stories high, with the
wall twelve inches thick in the first
story and ten in the second. He
used cement or water lime, ONLY in
the foundation. We have no he iia-
ton in recommending this kini Of
house to those who contemplate
building.

Loss by Fire.

dock, whose residence is in Mo.roe

ng-house, and all its contents, by
fire. The family were at Genoa,
having left everything at home safe,
as they thought, bat when they re-
turned all was burned up, including
furniture, organ. all OF the clothing
except what the family had on, and
the entire contents of the house.
From the appearance of the cook
stove (Which contained all the fire
that was left in the house,, it seemed
probable that the fire might have
originated by an explosion. Before
leaving the house, some fresh coal
was put on the fire, and the stove
closed. 1t is possible that gas
enough was generated TO throw The
door opan. and scatter live Goals
upon the floor. We are infoI med
that the loss will reach at least $50,
against which there is an insura ace
of $500.

False RumOrs.

EDITOR JOURNAL, Sir: Permit me
10 say few words in reference to
the death of Charles Sylvan, the COL
ored man found dead in his bed in
the Jail, Monday morning, the 10th
inst. Rumors were persistentlv
mouthed on the streets. also see
the same slanderous statement i'm
some of the local papers that Charles
Sylvan was frozen to death through
the neglect of the sheriff and tailor.
The coroner's inquest and verdict of
the jury will furnish the true an
swer and refutation to this SANDER
Gus runner, circulated for personal,
and political purposes. Were it not
for the bad impression that might
be made outside OF our community
[ should not have sought space in
your paper to attempt a refutation
of the charge of neglect or cruelty
10 prisoners on my part, for none
that know me, that wish to speak
the truth, (either prisoners or Off
cials) but will attest that an abund-
ance of food and bedding is always
furnished the unfortunates commit
ted to my charge. The coroner
found large quantity of food in
the cell that Sylvan had laid aside
in a newspaper that he had been
unable to consume, also four pair of
blankets, and three quilts, and proof
that fire had been kept all night.
| think the true motive of the charge
is clearly established when it is
known that cabal was held in one
of our saloons, and threats of lynch
ing the sheriff and myself were pro-
posed. What for, forsooth? Be-
cause of the virtuous indignation of
the concocters of the vile scheme!
Nay! nay! these men were never
guilty of an excess of humanity to-
wards any except themselves.
