IacCuroS SllZ, .00Z IN loIUiC increased 10
1866, 994. 1920. In 1860 Pennsylvania had in
vested $780, 055, 004 in 1870 it had increased
to 4O6.S2I, s45. In 1860 Massachusetts had
1885,. 702, 1927 in 1870 this capital increased
s26, 1886, $50; in 1870 this investment was re-
duced by the war 2,977. 1894. This includes
both Virginias. This table of manufacture
ing becomes more complete in showing the
relation between manufactures and popula-
tions. In 1850 Massachusetts had III. 401
hands employed in 1860, 7,421 in 1870,
279. $50.
New York had employed 1879 .249 in 1850
in 1860. 23O, 1l2; in 1870. 351.8u0.
| Pennsylvania had 146,766 hands en-
ployed in 1850; in 1860, 222, 1872; in 1870,

Virginia had, in 1850, 29,l10 hands en-
ployed in manufacturing in 1860. 1914 ;
including both virginias; in 1870, 3S,646.
These figures well account for the rela-
tive decline of this grand old State, so su-
perior in all of the natural elements which
support populations. With true political
economy, based upon the experience Of ma
tions, Virginia would have held her proud
position among the States Of the Union
Her commerce would have riyaled that Of
New York; her wooden and cotton manufac-
lures been equal to those of Massachusetts !;
her iron interests should never have been
inferior to those of Pennsylvania. Rut q
persistence in her suicidal policy has made
her an importer from nearly everywhere
and of nearly everything, until her poverty
is exasperated by bouds drawn upon the
productive labor Of unborn generations.

Ono OF the largest and most profitable
rice crops made in this State the past
season was that Of Messrs. Siewerd e
Thompson, grown on the old Whitecas-
tie plantation in Iberville parish. The
yield is placed at $4,000 barrels, worth
$4,000. The expenses were about $50,
600, leaving balance of $4,000 as net
profit. These figures were obtained by
tho Iberville South from Mr.. Earle, man
nger of 2e plantation.

Crop CULLINGs.-We had occasion to
make little trip mp the coast on the
right bank of the river on Thursday, and
obtained some interesting facts and fig
ures relative to the sugar yield on several
places i'll that portion Of the parish.
Mr.. Ade.fd Landry finished grinding
OH Wednesday. He did not have all his
sugar potted when we visited the sugar
house, but could make close calculation
Of the crop, which he placed at 50 hogs
heads. The quality Of the sugar is very
fine for open kettle-in fact, Mr.. Landry
thinks it as fine as he has ever made. He
is not dissatisfied with the yield, consid-
ering the season, and like nearly all the
other planters Of the parish will plant
for large crop next year. Last season
Mr.. Landry made 1875 hogsheads.
Mr.. j. Emile St. Martin also finished
grinding on Wednesday, with total of
AZ hogsheads Of fine open kettle sugar.
His crop last year was 70 hogsheads.
Mrs. James A. Dodds also made AZ
hogsheads and finished grinding last
week. Her crop of 1880 was 63 hogs
heads.
Mr.. r. 0. Landry was on the last run
when we dropped i'll at his neat little
sugar-house. He expected to get through
yesterday and to have IS hogsheads of
sugar as u result of the seasons labors.
Last year he made "a hogsheads. His
cane has yielded better than he antici-
pated and he has plenty of good seed
with which to prepare for the much
larger crop he expects to mako next sea-
son. Work on this place is conducted
on q thorough and economical system
which attests the excellent capacity of
Mr.. Landry as i. prudent and skillful
planter.
A few acres of cane belonging to
Judge Henry L. Duffel was ground at
tho, Adlard Landry mill on Thursday
The estimated yield from tue. lot was
six hogsheads.
The prolonged sounding of the steam
whistle at Capt. Jno. 7. Nolan's place Oh
Wednesday announced the completion OF
the work of sugar making for the sea-
son. We hear that Capt. Nolan has
made 100000 pounds, worry fair crop
for the year.
We learn that Mr.. J. G. Cofeld has
finished grinding, but have not heard
what his yield has been. He expected
to realize from 100000 to $50 ,OCo pounds
We believe.
Mr.. Henry Cook will finish grinding
on his little place.in Smoke Bend to
night and will realize 20 lugsheads from
IL acres of cane. The weight of his hogs
heads will range from HOO to 140t
pounds, giving him an average yield o
1000 pounds Of sugar to the acre.
Mr. Dominique Gentil, sugar maker
at Yale's Home place in the firs:1 ward
informs us that tho cane ground ON TIN
first run, as reported in our last issue
averaged q tons to the acre. Therefore
the 734 tons Of cane represented til.
product Of about 3399 acres, and as thu
total weight Of sugar made was 81 AZ;
pounds, we find that the yield per acr'
was 2442 pounds. This Is the. best yielt
we have heard of during the season, an,
if it has been excelled on any othe
O.
place we should be glad to have the fig
ures for publication. a..

The General Assembly of Louisiana
will convene in New Orleans on Monday
next, pursuant to the proclamation of
Gov. McEnery. The brief period to
which the extra session is confined by
the constitution-twenty days-and the
fact that She State is hst in condition
to just fy the expense of a prolonged
sitting If the Assembly, should admon-
ish the members to proceed diligently to
the consideration of the purposes for
which they were called together. 1t
would be new and refreshing episode
in the history of our State to have a
term of the General Assembly devoted
to the rapid and Intelligent transaction
of public business and the accomplish
ment of all the objects for which tho
session was convoked. The distinction
(which would attach to such an achieve
ment is worth striving for, and we hope
our Legislators will make 4 determined
effort to winit. The people Of the State
do not look for displays Of oratorical tai
ent or skill in parliamentary tactics ;
they want their law-msking representa-
tives to do we'll and quickly the work
mapped out in the Governors proclama-
Ten, and then to return home and re-
ctivc the reward of popular approval
and cummendsssion.

Our Washington correspondent this
morning dilects attention to a note
worthy fact established by the last
census-namely. that the colored race
in the United States is augmenting
much more rapidly than the white. In
1870 the ratio was IA, 52S colored to
every 100, 900 white, while it had al
tered in 1880 to Is, 1853 of the former to
100, 900 of the latter. This increas =,
however, is partly due to the inter-
mixture of races.

WILMINGTON SPREADING OUT
Wilmington seems to have attracted a
large inflow Of population during the
past year. About Ave hundred new
houses were built last year, and yet
the demand has not been supplied, and
many persons who were seeking resi-
dences have failed to get them. Rents
have been remarkably low and land.
lords considsrate enough not to raise
previous prices to any perceptible
extent where tenants were prompt
and reliable in paying.
Messrs. Heald and Co. now adver-
tise for one hundred houses which
they say they could handle with profit
to those who have them and want
tenants. Other real estate agents
also complain of want of houses to
supply the demands upon them.

that it will be supplied SO rapidly is
