Our police jury should have made
provision to~pay commissioners OF
election. As it is, the erroneous i'm
preston will be created that they are
not to be paid even in the future, in
order to correct which we will state
that it is the intention of the police
jury to pass such a resolution in the
near future, but that it was consid-
cred premature to do so now. Why
defer the matter and take mp time
hereafter we cannot imagine. Those
who serve the public certainly should
be paid. We think Mr.. Tison's vots
on this subject bad record. To b.

The ST. CRo1x Factory.
(From ~tEs'DagBlcd)

"Without entering further on the
personal side of the question, I will
also close the discussion, as | only
care to mark a single point, on &C
count of which | am satisfied with
Mr.. Hagemann's answer, namely hat
which regards the sugar and its smell.
For it might now be considered as a
settled fact that it is the smell, that
spoils the produce on the market, and
that the smell was not counted on
when the factory was erected. My
assertion, that Mr.. Hagemann had ex-
pected a grocery sugar but only got
a sugar for refining, consequently
holds good, and that is the essential
point. The assurance which he gives
that the sugar does not smell as bad
as before, l can not be convinced by,
to the contrary, l find it as bad as
ever. And with regard to the pro-
misses for the futute-let them be left
to the future"
WEST INDIAN.
The above is translated from the
DagbIad of 18th January, but, as
might be expected from Mr.. Hage-
mann's last article, he has made no
reply TO the anonymous West Indian.
We are informed that although it is
true that most of the Factory sugar is
sold to the refners, there is still a con-
siderable quantity sold to grocers for
direct consumption, not only in this
Island but also in Copenhagen. The
sale to r%efners is not peculiar to u
sugar, but also frequently happens
with Demerara sugar, a certain pro-
portion of good raw sugar being a ne
cessity in the r%efneries.

The damage along the Louisville and Nash,s

point they would come from Mobile and, other
points by rail, was incorrect. No boat has yet
