ouR SUGAR INTERESTS.

= Mr.. I. w. Nicol, an intelligent sugar
planter Of Iberyille parish, writes an in
teresting communication to the South
under the caption Of Sorghum Cane" !"
wherein he notes the large and rapidly
increasing production Of sugar and mo-
lasses from this staple, and advises a
combination between Southern planters
and Western farmers for the advancement
Of their mutual interests. He says:
Our Western brethren are suddenly awak-
ened to lively interest III our welfare, and
within twelve months large recruitments
planters respond every movement towards
the propagation of the sorghum interest, and
rest assured that lobbyists knocking at the
doors Of Congress to-day will meet with the
defeat they deserve. No monopoly that
effects the food that goes into IN Americans g
mouth can live long, and with the adjourn
ment of this Congress we will lind the abro-
CATION Of that uuholy Hawaiian treaty
complete.
To meet the superficial objection that
the interests of the sorghum and sugar
cane planter are rather competitive and
clashing than harmonious and mutual,
Mr.. Nicol cites some suggestive figures:
Statistics show us that we produced in
1880 only .0S Of the sugar required to teed
our people, calculating the rate at 4l.75
per capita. The percentage Of increase in
population and consequent demand would
be considerably ahead Of increase in produc
tioa, hence there is no fear of an early glut
of our markets, It will take twenty years
Of rapid progress to make all the sugar
consumed in this country and place us in q
position to export, hence we need have no
fear Of sugar being sold by the ton inside
| of fifty years.
Mr.. Nicol closes his we'll considered ar
ticle with the cheering opinion that never
before in the history Of the country have
the prospects Of our sugar planters been
| 50 bright as now. We sincerely trust the
future will prove his judgment correct.

The St. Helena Gazette considers that
there was but little Of Importance ac-
complished by the recent extra sessions
of the General Assembly, and lays the
blame upon the recreant Democratic
members who combined with the Repub-
licans {" TO defeat ends so much desired by
the people," Will the Gazette essay an
enumeration Of these "ends SO much de-
sired by tho people!" A reference to
the proclamatious Of the Governor cou-
voking the special sessions will show
that the only legislation specified therein
which the General Assembly failed to
supply was a new revenue bill, and the
rock on which this measure foundered
was the spccious State Board of Equali
zation scheme. Public sentiment as rep
resented by tho press and the Assembly
was opposed to this project, and there
has been but meagre ground for the as
sumption that the people were desirous
of any material change in the revenue
laws. We do not pretend or propose to
enter the lists either as a champion or an
apologst for one or the other of the DEM
ocratic factious in tho General Assembly,
but we shall deem it prerosative and
duty to defend public men aud public
measures against aspersions aud criticism
which ara not warranted or borne out
by the record.

THE question OF what TO do with Arab
Pasha is just now the leading one with the
British government. He is not a British
subject, owes no allegiance to that power, and
is in no way amenable TO it for his conduct.
He must therefore be turned over to the Khe-
dive, against whom, it is alleged, he rebeled.
Rat did he rebel? The facts would appear
ia say not. The Khedive made no protest
against any OF his movements. When he
took his Arst step two years ago at the head
of his regiment, surrounding the palace and
declaring 10 Tew6k Pasha himself the pur-
poses and wishes of the Egyptian people,
they were, 90 far as the Khediye could do so,
carried out, and he was advanced to the
grade of general. He was thus encouraged
to 90 on. Subsequently the Sultan rewarded
him for hi. earnest protests and labors for
the naturalization of the Egyptian people
with the order of the Medjidi which, he now
wears. Thus Endorsed by the sovereign and
suzeraiu, Arab wss justified in all that he
has done from the defense Of the forts in
front OF Alexsndris TO the defense OF Tel FL
Keber Bet in addition to all this there 10
this other fact, that Arab on the 9th OF jan
nary last wss appointed assistant secretary
of var with the approval Of the English ana
French consuIs-general and comPtrollers. IN
dealing will, him all these things will have
to be taken into account. in his interview
with General Drury Lowe, OF the BRUSH
army, Arab claimed 10 have been forced 10
fight, and that in all that he did he WAS sc-
tuated by patriotic sense of duly. AS 10
his responsibility for the msssacres and de-
struction Of property at Alexandris, IL IL
can be proven, he cannot be too severely
punished

SCORE one for Arthur. Judge Folger, bis
candidate for governor OF New York, was
nominated for that Office on the second bal
lot by The State Republican Convention
which met at Saratoga yesterday. Cornell
was good nd IN the list OF nominees,
but Wadsworth, the He'alds candidate, was
very bad third, receiving only sixty
nine OF the 497 votes cast. Judging by
this the Herald has not much weight with
the New York Republicans, and seems to
have lost its reckoning altogether. Judge
Folger, who is Secretary of the Treasury, is
one of the strongest OF the Republican lead
ers and one of the shrewdest politicians in
the country. If elected governor he will
be in a position TO secure the vote of
New York for the Republican candi-
date for president, which Arthur
eJn6denlly expects TO be. 1t is very i'm
portsnt, therefore, that the full strength OF
the Democratic party of New York be con-
eentrated ON candidate for governor who
shall unite the tact and aplomb Of the poll
tician with The knowledge and character CT
the statesman, man who has the reipect Of
the people and can command in any posi-
ton the confidence of both parties. The pivot
upou which the fortunes of both parties, in
1884, may turn, New York now more than
ever will attract the attention of the people
of the Union as the center of the weightiest
and most important of all the political con-
tests of the year.
