The LaGrange Record de-
clines expressing any opinion
in the Killough case. It says:
"We think nothing we leave
it with the courts." The opin-
ion here is that a cold blooded
and most atrocious murder has
been committed and that the
perpetrators should be hung.
The president has sent a
special message to the senate in
regard to the South American

country are now greater than

measures in furtherance'of these
interests will meet with his cor-

John Wesley Hardin has
already distinguiseed himself in
the penitentiary. A Huntsville
special to the Telegram says
several convicts employed in
the wagon shop attempted to
dig into the arsenal where a
large number of Winchester
rifles and 10000 rounds of am-
munition are stored. John-Wesley
Hardin was the leader and
but for the timely discovery of
the plot would have been suc-
cessful about three hours more
work would have let them into
the arsenal. Hardin now takes
his rations in the dark cell.
An ancient letter has been
unearthed among the papers in
the library of the Massachusetts
Historical society. It is dated
September 1682 and was written
by Cotton Mather to'John Hig
ginson. It announces that the
sh ip Welcome is at sea with a
hundred or more heretics called
Quakers with a scamp named
W. Pcnn at the head of them
Mather thought they could be
capturcdandsaid: "Much spoil
can be made by selling ye
whole lot to Barbadoes where
slaves fetch good prices in rum-
nic and sugar." Luckily for
W. Penn and his heretics he did
not fall into the hands of the
puritans but founded the colony
of Pennsylvania.

The senate republican carcus
was discordant about filling the
Blaine investigation committee
Blaine declined as did all the
others. All prominent republi-
cans refused to have anything
to do with the chairmanship.
As a last resort and to avoid an
utter failure a committee olsena-
tors was selected withoutjregard
to their wishes. It is supposed
the committee will not leave
Washington but will send for
witnesses.
Bayard Taylor United
States Minister to Berlin died
suddenly at that city on the
19th inst. Mr. Taylor was born
in Pennylvania in 1825. He
was a printer by trade and is
principally known by his journ-
alistic and literary works. His
chief reputation was as a wri-
ter of travels he having visited
and written up all parts of the
world except South America.
For many years he was engag-
ed as travelling correspondent
of the New York Herald.
James G. Tracy of Houston
is in luck. He has been ap-
pointed United States revenue
collector for the first district of
Texas vice Wm H. Sinclair
who has held the position for
several years and given general
satisfaction. Tracy it is almost
unneccessary to state is a radi-
cal of the most approved style
and during the Davis dynasty
was one of the chief fuglemen.
Personally he is a very clever
man and has many warm friends
in both the political parties.
Negreos are remarkakle cheap
in and about Augusta Georgia.
In the late municipal election
the question of a location for a
market was voted upon and as
there was money in the location
votes were valuable. The local
paper" says negro votes were
bought up at prices ranging
from a drink of whiskey to fif-
ty cents and in extraordinary
cases as much as a dollar was
paid. - This was the outside
price and. it is fair to presume
that an ordinary negro vote in
Augusta can be bought for a
drink of Cincinnati whiskey.
The St. Louis Republican is
sorry for Blaine. It says it is
sorry for a man who allows his
ambition to run away with his
judgment and makes a stupen-
dous failure where he expected
a glorious success. Blaine is no
longer young. His consuming
desire has been for the presi-
dential nomination. In 1876 he
had it almost in his grasp and
he now looks forward to 1S80
as his last and only chance. He
imagined that if he could keep
the "bloody shirt" floating in
the breeze there would be no
obstacle in the way of his suc-
cess. His last effort has prov-
ed a signal failure and hereafter
Blaine is consigned to oblivion.
In his report the secretary of
the treasury enumerates the ad-
vantages of the national bank
notes; theopponents of nation-
al banks are illing to concede
all the advantages claimed for
their notes as a circulating me-
dium but at the same time claim
that treasury notes would pos-
sess all advantages claimed for
the national bank notes and in
addition would give us one kind
of paper money instead of two ;
would obviate the necessity for
the government supervision of
banks now required and they
would save the price which the
government now pays the banks
for furnishing the country with
a paper currency. In addition
to this abolition of the national
banks would do away with a
political power that is now used
by the republicans in controlling
elections.
The carnival of crime in Tex-
as is a fruitful theme oi" discus-
sion in the press of the State.
There is no lack of law for the
suppression of murder in Texas.
The trouble seems to be with
the courts and juries. After a
man has been convicted the next
thing is an appeal tind in too
many instances the finding of
the court below is reversed and
a new trial necessitated by this
time the witnesses have moved
off or died and the murderer is
cleared.
Geo. Hamilton of Newark
N. J. in 1877 embezzled $-
OOO hnd came south. He spent
some time in New Orleans in
riotous living. A short time
ago he was at Dallas; finding
himself dead broke he sought
work in the cotton fields and
two eeks ago. died in Rock-
wall county. A detective has
been on his trail and finally
identified his man by a letter in
his carpet sack; this was a week
after his man was dead and
buried.
A woman horse thief has been
arrested at Sedalia Mo. She
is accussed of stealing two mu-
les .and a horse and. gives her
name as Amanda Honeycutt-Boyles-Campbell-Griffin.
The
Sedalia Democrat in reporting
the case says Amanda can tell
more lies in a minute than the
father of 'em all. The woman
is middle aged not good look-
ing and is an exceptionally hard
case. It is however a very
rare case that one of the gentler
sex ever descends to horse steal-
ing for a livelihood.
The Paris Banner favors the
whipping post It says the ne-
groes in its section of country
do not regard a confinement in
jail for theft or even a term in
the penitentiary as a dishonor.
With most of them such service
is estimated an honor ; sa-inuch
so; that upon a return from
Huntsville almost every negro
convict in thisseetion of country-
has been welcomed home with
a grand reception. The whip-
ping post possesses the advan-
tage of cheapnessand efficacy.
A majority of those opposed to
the whipping post are governed
by selfish motives.
A special to the Nczus from
LaGrange Dec. 21st announces
the acquittal of Robert J.Moore
who was tried for complicity in
the murder of Capt Killough.
Robert's brother was also ac-
quitted several days ago. Hunt
who it is said did the shooting
is still at large. We do not
know what evidence was adduc-
ed in the "trial of the Moores but
we do know that in their exam-
nation before the district judge
on habeas corpus that the evi-
dence was sufficiently strong to
justify the judge in holding
them without bail. That both
men should be acquitted is to
say the least somewhat strange.
Did money have anything to
do with this?.
The books of the treasury de-
partment have for some time
been undergoing an examina-
tion by a. committe appointed
by the senate. In 187 1 it was
discovered that there existed a
discrepancy of $200000000 in
the amount of the debt. This
occurred during the time Bout-
well was secretary but it was
afterwards settle by forcing a
balance and the matter was for a
long time hushed up. It is as-
serted by the friends of Grant
that if the democrats get con-
trol of the government the peo-
ple will know too much. The
iuvestigation now being made
will no doubt enlighten the
people upon a subject on which
they are now in the dark. Sen-
ator Davis of West Virginia is
chairman of the committee and
has devoted much time to the
investigation. He is preparing
a speech or the subject which
he will deliver after the holi-
days. It is expected that much
crookednes's during Boutwcll's
administration and also that
Boutw ell falsified his statements
of the amount of the debt for
political purposes.

consumed of foreign sugar 535-
548000 pounds and of Louis-
iana sugar 430fi6iaJ29; theprp-
portion of the home product to
the total consumption being
about 45 per cent In iS77the
total consumption of domestic-
sugar was only 199360000
while the foreign sugar consum
ed was 1455387000 pounds
the proportion of domestic ar-
ticle to the whole amount con-
sumed being only about 12 per
cent The Louisiana product
which fell of during the war
has been steadily increasing
since 186S having grown from
5 1522000 in that year to 199-
36000 pounds in 1877. It is
said that the state of Louisiana
alone is capable of producing all
the sugar needed in this coun-
try; but it falls very far short of
doing it even wtih the impor-
tant advantage which our tariff
extends to the interest in that
state. The largest proportion
of sugar consumed here comes
from Cuba 926163000 pound
the remainder comes from Porto
Rico the other Spanish posses-
sions; Brazil and the British
West Indies.
The-statistics given are am-
ply sufficient to show the im-
portance of the sugar crop; they
also show a wonderful dispro-
portion of production to con-
sumtion. It is evident that it
mustyet be many years before
the home production will be
sufficient to suply the home con
sumption. At present Louis-
iana has n monopoly of the su-
gar production: the small quan-
tity made in tlie lather States
hardly being sufficient in quan-
tity to merit any specialmen
tion. It is conceded that th
Texas sugar lands are fully
eqeal if notsuperior to those of
Louisiana. In Brazoria and
Fort Bend counties the manu-
facture of sugar has been suc-
cessfully carried on for the last
quarter of a century. The
change in the labor system ma
terially interfered with this in-
dustry though it is now being
revived and the production is in-
creasing annually. In Victoria
Colorado and Austin counties
ribbon cane has been success-
fully cultivated and sugar man-
ufactured on a small or experi-
mental scale enough however
has been made to demonstrate
that the crops can be grown
profitably. In Washington
county experiments have been
made with varying success
claiming that ribbon cane does
not do well while others siy
that it has exceeded their most
sanguine expectations. The
difterece may be owing'the qual-
ity and condition of the land.
The cultivation of sugar cane
is much more profitable than
cotton; it being claimed that
sugar is the most profitable field
crop raised in the south or per-
haps in the entire country.
The present season has dem-
onstrated there is but little if
any mony in the exclusively cul-
tivation of cotton. We need a
diversity of crops; the secret of
success in farming is in living
at home as near as may be be;
selling much and buying little.
We would not advise any to
rush blindly into raising a crop
of sugar cane which might prove
a failure but we wonld most
earnestly recommend experi-
menting with it in a small way
at first and increasing the crop
as circumstances ni'ght seem to
justify.
