OF NEW YORK.

This lis what Daniel bennett
says, in the Picayune about q for
mer citizen of L fourche.
CULTIVATION OF SUGAR, LANDS.
Mr.. Patrick Scal:y, who owns
and cnltivates a good sugar planta
ton Of 1000 acres on Bayou Cypre
mort, in the parish of St. Mary,
has made a fortune, some say $3.50,
600 on a tract Of 1000 acres. less
than half Of it now in cultivation,
nearly all OF the cultivated land
cleared and PIT in cultivation il,
the last II or IA years.
Mr.. Scally plants half of his
land in sugar cane and half in corn
aud peas, II to 2 bushels of peas
to the acre. In his new land, the
first year he usually sows 2 bush
els Of peas to the acre broadcast,
and plants no other crop with them.
This kills the grasses aud weeds,
and puts the land in fine condition
for the next crop. He uses new
land pea vines for hay.
Old lands that need recuperatiug
are plowed and II to 2 bushels peas
sowed to the acre. He never plows
in green pea vines-lets them die
aud dry up, and in January, in a
dry time, he runs the harrow over
them. This breaks all of the vines
in small pieces, scatters the leaves
and they are then plowel in with
no trouble in clogging the pillow.
He has sown this year no bags of
peas on $50 acres of land, about
235 bushels. He uses no cotton
seed meal, or any other fertilizer
besides the pea vine. This, he says,
will make poor lands rich if applied
properly, OF in sufficient quantity.
This is what l have many times as
serted, that humus is what worn
out lands most crave and need.
MI. Scally plants his largest and
best canes-he never plants short
jointed and poor stubble cane. He
thinks sugar cane, like oats, wheat
and corn, requires good seed to
bring good crops. His plant cane
generally yields him 5000 pounds
Of sugar and the usual proportion of
molasses to the acre ; his stubble
cane 1900 pounds every year as an
averages crop.
When he plows up stubble cane
land that has been severely taxed
and needs rest, he does not plant
cane on it for three years. HI
sows peas on it, or let's weeds and
grass grow and plows them in.
The peas are much better than the
falloW with weeds and grass.
His old land, not fresh, he only
leaves in cane two years-one year
In plant and one year in stubble,
then plows up the stubble. Fresh
and new lands may be left in cane
three years.
One acre of largo fine cane will
plant ten acres.
MI. Scally is unable to plant all
the land he wants to on account of
the scarcity of labor. He is now
paying 81 q day and board, equal
1880 q month. He says he will
let his lands lie idle before he will
do it.

SOMETHING ABOUT POLL
TICS.

SkVoGAO RSbHNU BA NUVbkV
cate any political discussion at
present and issue their ukases to
their contemporaries to drop poll
tics, SC.
We have not one particle of Oh
lection to their advice, and propose
to follow it just as much as it suits
us 10 do.
Some plain talk has been given
IN the columns of the SENTINEL
concerning some Of the acts of the
Democratic party in Louisiana dn
ring the last four years.
We have denounced the Meme
~ Land Grab as All Infamous trans
action, worthy of any Of the plum
behring's of the Warmoth aud Kel
logg regimes. The late develop
ments brought out by the Leake
committee are not very refreshing
matters to consider.
The replies made by the accused
parties are not sufficiently clear to
dispel the doubts about the homes
ty of the Funding Board under
Act No. 90. We have exposed
again and again the game of Buuko
managed by the School Board of
the City of New Orleans, by which
they have gobbled q large amount
of the money belonging to the Par
ish School Boards. All these laws
and acts were made aud done By
the members of the Democratic
Party.
And this reflection does not af
ford any relish to an honest Demo
crat, who expected, at the down
fall OF Radicalism to see the gov
eminent of Louisiana restored to
its primitive honor and Just deal
ings.
We are not disposed to remain
silent when such transactions as
those L being carried on, and by
silence endorse them. Wrongs
and infamies committed by Demo
Gratis are not one whit more easily
borne than if they were committed
by Republicans.
Still we intend to remain a work
er in the Democratic Party, hav
ing no intention to desert its ranks.
1t has done wonders to Louisia
ma since its accession to power ; it
has enabled the Parocbial and Mu
nicipal governments, to pay off the
debts that had been fastened upon
them by the Radical rulers, whilst
they, at the Same time, have re
duced taxation, and made many
improvements for the convenience
and comfort Of the people.
It has enforced the laws, reduced
crime, lowered taxation, and for
the first time since 1860, has the
State been able to pay it's war
rants.
The late Congress has shown,
that, the Democratic Party is the
only party from whom.the people of
Louisiana can expect protection of
it's Sugar and Rice interests; that
in its ranks are found the ablest
and strongest supporters and
friends of the Mississippi river in
terests and improvements.
In short the only hope of Louisa
ma lies in the success and preserva
ton of the Democratic party.
To maintain that party in power
does not require that, EITHER by 81
lence or by any other manner
should the wrongs of any of its off
GERS or members be condoned.
Let justice and candor be the
proper guide, and when the men
who have been placed in power
fail to perform their duties honest

COMPOUNDED shame. Such fashion was
no doubt started hy some fellow who
could raise hair ior the market, hu, ii

that some OF the most estimable gentle

plenty of men who would do anything

cept to part with single hair Of their

aud that the ladies will be contented
with a soft answer when they ask for o

subject Of hair, no scant haired man is
going to be safe, rs the ladies will have

a man with little hair, afraid to 20 into

Circuit court convened yesterday morn
ing as usual. The case of Jno. A. Weaver
taken up, but was continued until
tomorrow morning and court adjourned
until that time after attending to little
business of minor importance. The reasons
why the case of Weaver was continued, were
that one Of the jurors had been called home
by dispatch, announcing that his family
and property in the upper portion Of the
county were in danger Of overflow; and
also that defendants father had telegraphcd
that he would be here with an able criml-
nal lawyer by Wednesday, to defend Weav-
er. These facts were made known to the
court by Judge Yocum, one of defendants
attorneys, and the cour, granted contin p
ance.
