THE LOWRY ISLAND SURVEY JOB.

are put at rather a disadvantage.
The following dispatch to the
New Orleans Picayane of the 18th
inst, gives a synopsis of the report.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Cameron
has paid $500, back into the treas.
ury. Now, kind reader, do you see
wherein your home paper, the DEM
oCRAT.S STAR, has indirectly, by u
bold defense of your rights, been a
benefit to you aud the State7 The
following is the dispatch referred
to.
The committee to whom was referred
the matter of the Lowry Island survey to-
day made its report. The committee find
that there was no written recommends
ton made by the Governor and concurred
by the Acknowledgement and Secretary
Of State that these lands be surveyed, but
that a conference was held between those
officers and the survey agreed to, and this
tact was communicated to tho Swamp
Land Commissioner. That officer appoint
ID J. NJ. y. Hamilton to make said survey.
That committee find that H. d. Cameron
.laimcd to act and did act for the State III
contracts for services of survey
ETC., and other things on the credit
f the State, and that this action on the
of II. d. Cameron was without right ,
+ authority of law, and a plain violation (
f law that no one had the right to make
ny contracts to survey their lands except
le Swamp Laud Commissioner, and he c
by implication of law, Y
The committee then recited some of the D
stimony relative to the amounts, etc I
+ which these contracts were made, t;
hich they say is conflicting, and then y
y "Your committee refer to the testI- e
of the Governor as to his authority Il

estion which does not come within their II
vince to determine. They feel it but "

A CORRESPONDENT of the Pasea-
gOula DEMoGRAP-STAR has let the
light in on the Lowry Island sur.
vey, from which it appears hat it
is a marsh of no value, and that its
survey cost the State $3,65S, and
all the beueft derived to the State
is the name of "Lowry" conferred
upon the Island. That's business.

We do not pretend to say that
the survey was useless and of no
benefit, but that the cost bill or ex-
pense account was outrageously ex-
travigaut, in all of which we have
been sustained by the investigat-
ing committee. The fact is the sur
vey, so far as it. was necessary to
enable the State to make title was
right and proper, as there are per.
sous interested who are anxious to
get title and should have it. But
for all that, titles have not yet been
procured, OH account of negligence
of those authorized to value aud

THE WIFE'S SHARE.

No class of men are more indebted
to their wives for the success that
comes to them, than are farmers.
The wife and mother who has cour-
age to go out with the husband OF
her choice and commence the strug-
gle of life with him on the prairie,
or on new farm, with but little cap
ital, except that boundless capital of
head and heart, is worthyIto stand by
the side of the Spartan woman of
whom poets have exhausted their
words of praise. Upon her falls the
brunt of the strife, no matter how
hard the husband may toll |; his work
closes with the day, but hers contin-
ues long after, and with her children
and the small chores that many of
the beginners look after, her lot is
not one to be envled. And when,
after years of struggle, success, with
reluctant feet, comes to crown the
husband with honor, the brightest
wreath should adorn the brow of The
noble wife, who was the stay and an
chor, the comfort and the source of
all hope in the stormy days of trial
The wreath should crown her queen.
We hear much of man. We hear
that so-and-so is making money, and
he gets the credit of being forehand-
ed man, but it IS quite as often that
the noble little woman, who toiled
and complained not, who has pinched
and saved, and murmured not, IS the
one to whom the State and Nation is
most greatly indebted. These are the
ones who lead men up to that higher
and nobler manhood, to that shrine,
where. like knights of Oil, they bend
the knee of homage, not 10 beauty,
but TO worth and royal manhood

Judge Blacks ElOquence.

They tell a story of friend OF
western congressman who happened to
be at the capitol sightseeing at the time
the historic Milligan case was on trial
before the supreme court. This con-
gresham was to make a great speech on
a certain day, on some question or other,
and his friend went up to the capitol to
hear it. He somehow missed his way in
the building. however, and wandered
into the court room instead. There he
saw man of towering figure striding
back and forth in the narrow space be-
fore the bench, arguing the case OF the
defendant, Milligan. Oratory is capti-
vating to a western man, and he stayed
to listen a few minutes. Judge Black
was denouncing trials by military COM
missions and painting the iniquity of
all the extrajudicial tribunals that ever
in all history usurped the prerogatives
of the duly-established courts He in
stanced Herod, who, when unable to
single out from the multitude of chill
dren the Christ child, who was to be
king of the Jews, tried all the babies
for prospective treason, convicted them,
decreed their death. and had his SEN
tence carried out with such alacrity and
zeal that in one day the whole land was
filled with mourning and lamentation.
He cited Nero trying the whole Christian
church in body on the charge of set
ting fire to Rome, and sending them to
the cross He described Macbeth's
hired murderers. ..the commission or
ganized in Banquo's case, which sat
upon that very night at a convenient
place beside the road. where it was
known he would be travelling" He
pictured Lola Montez minister and mis-
tress to the king of Bavaria, and her
commission Ia pack OF British bull
dogs, trained to tear the flesh and
mangle the limbs and lap the life OF
blood''-and much more which L can
not accurately recall. The westerner
stood and drunk it in with eager ears
and eyes that hung on every gesture OF
the orator until, at the climax of the
Montez instance, Judge Black thunder
ed out:
1T gives me unspeakable pleasure to
tell YOU this sequel. The people rose in
| their wrath, smashed down the whole
machinery of oppression, and drove out
/ into uttermost shame king, dogs, and
strumpet-
Then the listener rushed out OF the
chamber, hurried across into the hall
of the house, pushed passed the door

his friend was in the midst of his speech,
and plucking him by the coat-tail, ex-
claimed in a voice so loud rs to be heard

The Old Farm.

Out in the meadows the farmhouse lies,
Old and gray, and fronting the west;
Many swallow thither flies
Twittering under the evening skies,
In the old chimneys builds her nest.
Ah how the sounds make old hearts swell!
Send them again on an eager quest;
Bid the sweet winds of heaven tell
Those who have loved so long and well,
Come again home to the dear old nest.
When the gray evening, cool and still,
Hushes the brain and heart to rest,
Memory comes with joyous thrill,
Brings the young children back at will,
Calls them all home to the gray old nest.
Patient we wait till the golden morn
Rise on our WEAKNESS half-confessed;
Till with the chill and darkness gohe,
Hope shall arise with another dawn
And a new day to the sad old nest.
Soon shall we see all the eager east,
Bright with the Day-star, at Heavens behest
Soon from the bondage of clay released,
Rise to the Palace, the Kings own feast,
Birds of flight from the last years nest.
