To the Editor of rIlE REPUBLICAN,:
In support Of your brief but admirable editoria,
on the subject ofthe Improvement Of the Mississippi
Riveriny yourissue ofWednesdaymorningf for which
beg to tender my warmest thanks, permit me TO
offer you suggestion that will detract nothing
from the strength Of your position. During the
fiscal year which closed June 30, 1884, the United
States imported S5l $40 tons Of foreign grown
sugar and 2s,5O92S0 gallons Of molasses The
money value of this imported sugar and molasses
ut the United States custom house was sos iOi 2SS
and the aggregate duty paid by the consumers Of
these two articles reached the enormous sum of
S7 79Si,O32, or nearly as much as was paid upon
foreign wool and manufactures thereof and iron,
and steel and rticlesmanui9Ctured from these i'm
pOrtant products, Now as the State of Louisiana
Is capable OF producing annually more than
double the amount Of sugar imported last year
and ten times as much mOlUsses, Is IL not
good policy to protect the sugarland OF Louisiana
from the rNvages ofthe river ana thus save the
annual outlay of 100000 paid for foreign sugars
and molahses for the enrichment of other people,
and the nearly If y millions of dollars paid into
the Treasury In the shape OF import duties every
Year, The money paid rs duty on sugar and mo-

THE sTAR-RouTE CASES.


Yesterday, rs announced, Judge wylle delivered
his decision on the application in the star-foute
cases for n bill Of particulars Mr.. George Bliss
and Mr.. H. II. Merriok appeared for the Govern.
ment and Judge Jere Wilson aud Colonel Robert
Ingersoll for the defense Judge Wyllc In an.
nouncng his decision, said that the decision In
the Supreme Court of the United States In the case
OF Croixshank was so reasonable in itself and such
absolute authority In this court that he would
follow II so far as II led him. If the indictment
for conspiracy set forth legal crime II should set
forth the means and show that these means were
criminal, or, in other words, If person WIS in
dicted for fraud and the indictment for fraud did
not show the fraud, then the indictment was bad.
Where the legal offcnse was charged II was not
necessary to set forth the overt act Of q
conspiracy.
THE BILL OF PARTICULARS
calls. for certain acts claimed not 10 be set
out with sufliclent clearness for the purpose
Of a criminal indictment. One eof these acts Is that
one Of these conspiraos procured false and flcti.
tious names to petition and forwarded II to the
Post once Department for the flrtherance Of the
conspiracy, without setting out In what respect IL
was false and forged. The court thought ~ was
necessary TO do thatif necessaryto set II out with
the precision aud particularly of M indictment
for forgery or libel; In that particular he thought
the indictment faulty. The Indictment however,
did contain numerous acts alleged to have been
done by the conspiators In cnrtyl < out this con-
splrAuy clearly set out, nS required, ana tnc qucN-
inn was whether the court should require the
District Attorney 20 furnish particulars Of these
faulty acts IN the indictment when the Indictment
contains several acts by one or more OF the con-
spiraors clearly md nully set out aud the indict-
mont was good II any one Of the acts properly set
out was sustained by proof should tue case go TO
tinlnnd bill ofexceptOns be furnished the court
would refuse to receive testimony on the points
thus insutlcicnty set forth.
HE SHOULD ovERRuLE THE MOTION,
as he did not see that bill of particulars wos
needed Mr.. Morrick said now that ns the court had
Overrulcd the motion. they would furnish the
copies ns desired. MIR Wilson excepted TO the
Judges ruling. and said they would be thankful
for any papers sent them and give receipt II
necessary. He asked permission TO withdraw the
plea ofnOt guilty IN Turner's case and to file n
motion to quaSh on the same grounds us In the
other cases. Judge Wyle declined to take any
action, rs Mr.. Turner was not in court aud fur.
ther, consideration of the matter was postponed

The penal systems of some of the Bour-
bon States are disgraceful to our civiliza-
ton. Convicts are treated with such
brutality that suicide is not infrequently
resorted to to escape miseries that are
counted as worse than death. Fortunes
are made out of convict labor. Large
gangs are worked in chains, and are
driven from place to place, where their
labor may be most profitably employed.
A strong, abe-bodied negro is valuable
prize, and not much evidence is required
to land such man in convict camp.
So brutally are they treated that they
often try to escape in face of almost GER
tain death. Here is u recent dispatch
from Little Rock, Ark, =, that is extremely
significant to those who, knowing the
situation, can read between the lines:
Early this morning fifty convicts tried to escape
from the camp ut FOurche Creek. Eight succeeded
in passing the guards. One was XII He'd Instantly,
two were badly wounded. and the remaining five
are being hunted down by bloodhounds.
The Bourbon still clings to his blood
hounds, as in. the old days when they
were used to hunt fugitive slaves in the
swamps.
