We announce with rxegret 11t un timely demise of this Sterling paper. The City item in a vein of paruonabale conceit tells the tale in these few ap p opriate and expressive lil*. Were there a field in Noe Orlean~ for more than two daily mol~ing En glish newspapers, the Item would not be called upon to record the )passing out of existence yesterday of its esteem;r -ed neighbor, the Delta. 'T'hat paper dl Peied a better fate; but the situ:tion was tbo fully covered by its rival to permit of its gaining a firm.business foothold. Clean, earnest. bold for the ,right, -the Delta was warmly esteemed by the moral elements of the' community, and would be seriously missed were not the Item at h- to fill the, places itA i .demise makes.vacant in niany house holdsi m! uagar .im Rice Proteet a.n.

We are pleased to note the active working up of the movement by oar friend and fellow parishoter J. It. Putnam, Esqr., the largest sugar planter in Vermilion. lie pd l'rof Knapp have mapped out .e plan for the probable work of The can vention and we think its enumera tion slhws that they have fully cov ered.- the subject which is of promi teit importance to every one in South West Louisiana, p Pit is their purpose to prepare a statement of the growth of the sugar industry under the bounty system, of its great ramfications, of the pam her of persons interested in its cul ture, the capital involved quan tity and cost of macihinoe that is purchased from the Nocg and which is used in its production, of the stock that is bought and raised and generally, of the great import ance of thA ind.lutrv, This will probably be supplement ted by sending on to Washingtn a committee of prominent planters well versed in all that pertains to the sugar and rice industry, to prre sent this statement and urge their claims for protection of some lkind. Fr mniny years the sugar* indus try has been 'between the devil and the deep sea" of continual tariff tinkering, but at no time within the history of the industry has the situa tion been so perilous, The Republi cans have taken off the tariff on sugar and now the free trade Demo crats threaten to abolish the bounty a system. This would mean wide hr spread Ain and disaster to all engag o ed in making sugar in Louisiana, ' We hope our fabrmers will mani- W fest the proper interest in this mat- G ter which is ofsuch vital importance 1 to them and the whole parish, and ri mako known their desire and de mnand for adequate protection by at E tendin,, t.e convention in New-Jbe te Sqt r. h . a Police Jury I'rocee(dings.
