The Respite.
" VI VIDDEj
G. +. A. Houston, Texas.

st. Mary Herald,
We take the following from the
New Mississipf'ian, published at Jack
son, Miss:
A mad cry, like that of hungry
wolves cheated of their prey, goes up
from the populace Of New Orleans at
the respite of the so-called Murphy
murderers. But if ever Gov. McEnery
did an act which should shine like a
jewel in his character, that act was
the respite Of the men condemned by
press, a people and court, jury
and Judges, all wild with the fever of
misguided hate.
We have no opinion TO express as
TO the guilt or innocence Of the Az
cused, but we know that their trial
has been only mockery of Justice
savage and lawless prosecution, that
sounds to the dispassionate reader
more like the frenzy Of barbarians or
the fury of mob, than the work of a
calm and passionless court of law.
In the blindness of passion caught
from an infamed people and an over
Jealous press, the court has forgotten,
not only mercy, bnt simple justice.
Until that respite came, il seemed
that every officer of Louisiana was
either bitten by the mad-dog of pas
sion, or cringed and bowed before the
storm of indignation that went up
from the people and the press,
The populace there may curse their
Governor and howl like wild beasts
fierce with the scent Of blood, but
those whose reason is not inAamed
with passion, will know that the
Governor has only saved for a while
the victims of fearful Judicial nur-
der.
When Cap Murphy died, the peo-
pie Indignantly demanded blood for
blood, and bllndly cried for the death
OF the accused Those Of the first jury
Who favored ali acquital were hound
Cd and cursed, and every force was
brought to bear upon the court and
every officer felt the hard pressure.
In that passion Cap Murphy, the
dead culprit and debauchee, was made
an angel, and the noble Pat Ford,

JENNINGS, La, Nov. 23, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
The new industry mentioned by
Two of your correspondents in your
last weeks issue seems TO open a
broad feld for thought, labor and
capital. The history of the hay in
dustry at Jennings can be summed up
in few words.
Mr.. Patterson, one of the first
Northern settlers cut few tons Of
the native grasses last year, which
seemed to be eaten by the Northern
and Native stock with as keen relish
during January and February, as by
our Northern stock, with the mucury
at 800 below Zero. Your CORE
spondent rode over some ten town
ships and came TO the conclusion that
the grasses of Calcasieu, providing
that the soil and climate would repro
duee the crop, were of more value
than all her lumber, rice and cane.
Fully satisfied, (sfter an interview
With two of Lake Charles Oldest citi-
zens, Mr.. Mayo and II. G, Drew ]
had some 40 or so tons cut and stack
ed in conspicuous places. Mr.. James
Maund, practical farmer, grasped
the situation at once, We sent samples
Of the hay to New Orleans, Chicago,
Baltimore and other Eastern hay
markets. The sample from Mr..
Maund's farm was by experts, pro-
nounced equal to the best Kansas and
Iowa upland, which ranks next to the
celebrated Kentucky blue joint in all
Of the Northern and Eastern markets.
Ii we succeed, much credit will be
due to two or three Of the home rail.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

tiOu.

Extract from a Letter in the New York Sun.
"What if the United States," said,
"should go the length of demonetizing
silver?"
"That step" replied Mr.. Grenfell,
"I believe to be quite out of the ques-
ton. What could you do with your
silver? Not only would every silver
mine in America be closed, but it
would be absolutely impossible for
yo1 to sell the 100000, 900 of silver
which you have coined. 1t would be
impossible for you to sell this coin--l
win not say without loss, but at all.
Where could it go? Who would buy
lt2 For what produce of India could
you exchange it9 Europe certainly
will not buy a dollar of it. Selling
presupposes buying. Before you can
sell any commodity you must find a
buyer for it. Again, if you could de-
monetlze silver in the United States,
the price of silver would fall, and as
the price of silver fell, the trade ex-
ports from India to Europe would be
stimulated in competition with your
exports. On account of the fall in the
exchange value of silver, India now
has to pay her $e5, 100000 of annual
debt charge to England, not in silver,
but in wheat or in cotton. Thus it is
really the price of silver which de.
cides whether the wheat farmer in
Dakota shall get remunerative price
for his wheat, and whether the cotton
planter 10 Texas shall be undersold in
the English markets by the Indian
ryot. The less support, therefore, the
United States afford to silver, the
keener will be the competition you
must meet, and the lower will be the
prices at which your staple exports of
wheat and cotton will be sold, on ac-
count of the inevitable concomitant
increase in the Oriental exports Of
these commodities to Europe"
"Does it not follow from all this
that you do not think the Bland bill
OuSuL W uS ISpSaiSu'
"As to that, if were speaking from
the point of view not of director of
the Bank of England, but of philos-
opher, l might say that M. Cernuchi's
position, that the bill ought to be re-
pealed, is logically unassailable- But
the world is not governed by logic. If
the Bland bill were unconditionally
repealed, and if silver we're demone-
tized in the United States, the tre-
mendous collapse in trade which would
follow that Legislation would no doubt
most effeetually aware, not the United
States alone, but the whole world to
understand the importance of main
tanning a snfiicieney of the circulating
medium, and of assuring the stability
of the international exchange ratio of
the two precious metals"
"No doubt it would" ! replied,
"but would not the remedy be rather
heroic, and might not some of the pa
tients die of ita'
To this Mr.. Grenfell assented, with
smile: probably enough! / am

dependent upon New Orleans for hay,
only cut 36,159 tons. Hay at New
Orleans for 20 years has averaged
from one to four dollars per ton,
more than at Boston, New York and
Baltimore. She draws her supply
mainly North of the Ohio.
I send you a copy of a letter
written in answer to an inquirer made
by your correspondent Of Mr.. Cary,
Station agent of the S. p. G. A. s.,
which may be of interest to those of
your readers who have hundreds of
tons of hay going to waste and are
trying in the dry months to get water
for their rice fields. The greatest
drawback to realizing immediate bene-
fits from the hay crop of the parish, is
the lack of practical help. If the
good citizens of the town of Lake
Charles would assist or the Railroad
Co., it would soon pay both a thous-
and fold, so to speak. If the matter
could be properly placed before the
general manager judging from my
own experience with the officials,
they would take pleasure in doing So

and Scandinavian editors of the North,

Sam Jones is certainly great sue
cess as a preacher. The following
telegram from st. Joseph, No., where
he has been holding a meeting, win
be interesting:
The great religious cyclone which
has been raging with unprecedented
violence in this city during the past
two weeks, eliminated to-day in two
of the largest meetings ever held in
Missouri. There were not less than
$4,000 people at the canvass taber-
nacle at the two meetings, and this,
notwithstanding the fact that rain
poured down in torrents nearly all
day. At the conclusion of the morn
ing service for men, Rev. Sam Y.
Jones expressed bis qualification on
account Of the success Of the revival,
and pledged himself to return at some
future time. Then he appealed to
the people to erect Young Mems
Christian Association building that
shall be credit to the city. To test
the feelings Of the people he solicited
subscriptions at once. -Four gentle
men subscribed $4,000 each, amid the
applause Of the vast multitude. In
half an hour the subscriptions aggre-
gated $40, 900 and in all parts of the
tabernacle men mounted on chairs
shouted in the names of subscribers
faster than the secretary could write
them down. II was absolutely neces-
sary to refuse them in order to empty
the tabernacle for the accommodation
Of the multitudes that were pressing
in for the afternoon services, In the
afternoon the proposition was renewed
and fifteen thousand additional was
subscribed, mostly by ladies. Mr..
Jones says the converts during the re-
vival, including about thousand
children influenced by Hodgeland, of
Louisville, win exceed twenty-five
thousand. Some prominent men known
throughout the State are among the
number Mr., Jones, Mr.. Small cold
Si) and Mr., Lee, ali Of Georgia, leave
tomorrow for the South, Mr.. Jones
stopping at Pittsburg, Pa, to preach
one sermon. Mr. Hodgcland will con
tinue meetings for children and will
establish house OF refuge here, He
preached to fifty men in the@ail to-
day, and they all stood up and pledged
him they would reform, AT the meet
ing last night there occurred scene
the like Of which has never before
been witnessed. The evangelist had
delivered his evening sermon and con
cluded with an appeal to all who
wanted salvation now to come for
ward and embrace it. Among the
number who came to the altar were
Senator Waller Young, who sobbed
like little child; Judge Thos,
Brown, president Of the county court
Capt. Joe Robinson, prominent
Democrat of Easton; Alex, Green,
young lawyer, and Geo, Alice, Of the
dry goods house of J. w, Bailey d
Co. All were in tears, and this has
caused a great deal of comment, par
ticularly the conversion Of Senator
Young, which, however, was not un-
expected, for he has been regular
attendant at tho meetings.

The opening or Public Lands.


WAsHINsToN, Oct. 23.-It is stated
at the Land Office that under the
practice of that office when the pub
lie lands within q township are open
ed to entry through the filing Of plats
Of survey there was q rush Of specu-
Iators and land grabbers who often
succeeded in securing the best lands
to the great injury Of bona fidc set
tiers, Moreover, this class Of per
sons were able frequently to learn
when the plats of the survey were to
be received in advance of the settlers,
who were thereby placed at disad-
vantage. To correct this abuse as far
as possible, the Commissioner Of the
Land Office has issued the following
instructions to local land offices;
Hereafter when an approved plat Of
the survey of any township is trans
mitted to you by the Surveyor Gem
eral you viii not regard such plat as
officially received at and filed in your
office until the following regulations
have been complied with;
l. You will forthwith post no,
tice in conspicuous place ii your
office, specifying tho township that
has been surveyed and stating shat
the plat or survey will % hl9d in
your Office on day to be fixed hy
you and named IN the notioe, which
shall not be less thirty days from the
date Of such notice, and that on and
after such day you will be prepared
to receive applications for the entry
Of lands in snch townships,
2. You will also send Q copy Of
such notice to tho postoffices nearest
the land, and copy to each clerk Of
court of record In your district,
with aFequest that the same be con
spienously posted in their respective
Offices.
8. You will furnish she public
press IN your district with copies Of
such notice 40 matter of news.
4. You will give such further pnb-
licity Of the matter in answer to Ia.

Cholera has finally disappeared

granted vessels sailing to America
from the infected ports. Now that
the epidemic has virtually died out,
many scientists, who, during the sum
mer, did not yeAtnre into the infected
districts, are Investigating the cause
Of the progress Of the plague, Their
statements lead one to wonder, not
that 90 many people died, blt thea
anyone in the towns escaped. The
aqaeducts are considered one Of the
commonest sources of disease, Large
towns are supplied from the hills By
means Of open cutters, instead Of
buried pipes. The people living along
these streams use them for cleaning
clothes or for bathing. Inexcnsable
delays are said 10 have taken place in
burying the bodies Of the dead, and
the priests are accused of teaching the
people to care more for . procession
than for cleanliness and careful living,
The municipal authorities are charged
with stupidity and wilful neglect Of
simple and inexpensive precautions.

S. L. Cary, Esq, Jennings,
Dear Sir--In replying to your es.
teemed favor of the 7th, inst, would
state that | would be glad to encour-
age your farmers by every means in
my power to go extensively into the
hay business. If your prairie hay is
as good as our ordinary Texas prairie
hay, there is quite demand here dur
ing the winter, at from $500 to $40.
90. We now, have to pay 5000
baled, F. 0. B. cars, in making large
contracts for the use of this Co., say
of several hundred tons. While |
would not like to make promise of
any specific rate that we wonld be
willing to guarantee, will state that
farmers may depend on it that we
will make such rates as will move
their produce. When necessary to
find a market, we are hauling longer
distances than to Houston for much
less rate than Is cents per 100 pound.
/ fancy that we may find fair market
in New Orleans, and among our lum-
ber mills West of Houston. You can
conscientiousIy 60 on and give your
people all the encouragement neccs-
sary.
Yours truly,
, G. G. GIBBS,
