were frequent revelations of lack
OF supervision by the supervising
officers. The steamers were found
soon after the annual inspection to
be deficient in life saving applican
ces; the ife-boats without oars,
plugs or Gfe-lines. For the life-boats
of sixty passenger capacity, there
were substituted, in some cases,
small fat-bottomed skiffs, unsafe for
half dozen people. The compile
ment of life preservers was deficient,
and those on hand were without
straps, the fire hose worn, and
useless in case of fire, the boiler
rooms unprotected by metal as re
CURED by law, and many other
evidences of the disregard of law.
This condition ofaffair was sometimes
the fault of incensed officers of
steamers who might be careless
about keeping up their equipments
or deceive the inspectors by borrow
ing equipments to pass inspection
and returning them as soon as over.
But occasionally certificates were
granted by the inspectors when the
equipments were known to
to be deficient upon prom
ises of the parties interested to
supply them before navigating the
steamers, which promises were not
fulfilled. Whatever the cause of this
abuse, they could not exist if the su-
pervising officers of the service were
faithful to their duties. After quoo-
ing the law detailing the duties of
supervising inspectors, General
Dumont says: It will be
observed that the law
leaves the visiting of steamers by
such an officer to such time as " he
thinks it expedient," and it cannot be
demonstrated that such visiting was
an exception and not the rule. The
Department cannot enforce duty,
the time and fulflment of which are
left to individual discretion.

COTTON AND SUGAR.
Report of Condition in Several
States

New ORLEANS, October IA
special dispa' CT to the Democrat, from
all portions of the cotton country
and from the sugar districts of
Louisiana, show these crops to be in
the following condition:
Sugar-There has been considera-
BILE improvement during the past
weeks; many of the plantations are
grinding, but the cane is somewhat
100 green to grind: yet the yield, SO
far, has been good, the plant cane
yielding as well as last year, but the
stubbed yielding poorly. Estimates,
based on reports from large num-
ber of plantations, promise yield
of about $4,000 hogsheads, a falling
off of about four -tenths as compared
with last year.
Cotton--A' 'abama-Reports show
no change in the condition of the
crop. The yield is DOW estimated at
so per cent, of that of last year.
Louisiana.-Rain has fallen but
generally no damage has been done,
except to interfere with marketing
the crop in some parishes. Unpicked
cotton is seriously damaged in quail
ity and perhaps in quantity. About
nine tenths of the cotton is picked.
Labor is scarce. The roads are in
a terrible condition and cotton cans
not be moved. Many farmers are
holding back for better prices.
Mississippi-About one fifth of
the crop remains unpicked. Rain
has fallen for week, doing some
damage. The yield is now estimated
at IS per cent. of last years crop.
Tennessee.-The weather has been
rainy and very unfavorable for pick
ing. The yield is now estimated at
81 per cent. of that OF last year.
About four -ninths of the crop has
been marketed, while -ninths re-
mains in the hands of the farmers
and producers.
Texas.-A heavy rainfall is inter~
fering with the picking and dama-
ging the crops that are remaining in
the field. About 80 per cent. of
the cotton is picked, and about
three fourths has been marketed.
