TREATY.

On Wednesday last, in the National House
of Representatives, Mr. Hewitt of New
York moved to take up the Mexican treaty
for consideration. but his motion failed to
receive the two thirds vote necessary to Sc
cure its adoption, the record showing l47
ayes to 81 nays The Louisiana delegation
telegraphed the good news to the President
of the Sugar Exchange at New Orleans and
added the comforting opinion that the
treaty is to ell intents and purposes killed.
In response, Messrs. Milliken and Kenner,
presiding officers of the Sugar Exchange
and the Louisiana Sugar Planters Asso-
citation, telegraphed: News is especially
grateful to our sugar people. Hope you
will succeed as we'll against Spanish treaty."
To which we say amen.
The failure of the Mexican and Nicara-
guam treaties indicates similar fate for
the still more lop-sided Spanish affair, and
gives new hope to the people of Southern
Louisiana, whose most valuable interests
have been disastrously affected by the at
tempt to commit our government to the
hurtful policy contemplated by these spe-
cious treaties.

RoRBERY AT CoFrRLD' s.-Last Saturday
night the carpenter shop on Mr.. j. C. Co.
fields Point Houmas plantation was broken
into by some thief or thieves unknown,
who stole therefrom lot of carpenter
tools, including half dozen handsaws
worth $5a piece, a lot of chisels, a ratchet
brace, circular smoothing plane, a hol-
low anger, three knob latches and several
other articles. Nearly all these things be-
longed to Mr.. F. A. Bertteaud, head car
penter on the place, who offers reward of
$50 for the capture Of the thieves. A lot of
tools belonging to John Russell, the assist
ant carpenter, had been piled up together
as if to be in readiness for carrying away,
but for some reason they were not taken
Entrance to the shop was effected by
wrenching the paddock off the staple. An
unsuccessful effort had been made to pull
the staple, and the windows we're doubtless
tried also, but were found closed and Sc
curely fastened. This robbery left the car
penters cramped for tools, and particularly
handsaws, not one of which remained in
the shop next day, and they were compelled
to come to town and lay in new supply.
No clue to the perpetrators Of this theft
has as yet been discoyered, but we incline
to the belief that they are the same who
recently purloircd tools from the black
smith and carpenter shop on the Souvenir
plantation.
