The seelare of log, under the direction of
the Department of the anterior, in the parish
of Livingston seems to be a piece of unmiti
gated brutality. We do not believe that the
facts have been truthfully represented to Sec
retary S3hurz. The wholp affair, as it has
been authoritatively stated to us, bears
the marks of the operations of a ring of
brutal, unscrupulous and dirfinutive specu
lators.
The unhappy people afflicted by the seizure
in question, a few days ago held a meeting
and drew up a petition to Gov. Nicholls for
aid to save them from the destitution which
this unnatural act of the United States govern
ment has entailed upon them, and the misery
with which it threatens them. They then
requested the representative of their par
ish, Hon. Levi Spiller, to visit New Orleans,
lay their deplorable condition before the Gov
ernor and beg for help. Mr. Spiller has very
clearly stated to us the facts in the case, and
we confess that our sympathies have not
often been so deeply and painfully enlisted.
The facts connected with this act of extraor
dinary vigilance on the part of the govern
ment in protecting its timbered lands are,
briefly, these:
Mr. W. F. Carter, a government agent, who
seems to have a mania for seizing logs, lately
descended upon the parish of Livingston in
this ltate,-where-he, or-someof his deputies
or aids, found a community of about one hun
dred and twenty families, numbering, men,
women and children, five or six hundred souls,
living on some sterile lands embraced in the
Houma claim and also claimed by the
United States government. These people have
occupied this disputed territory for perhaps
morethan half a century. Many of them occu
py the little tracts first squatted on by their
grandfathers. There are gray-headed men
among them who were born there, and who
have raised up families around them. These
people understand the tenure by which they
hold their humble homes, and they have been
always willing to recognize their obligation
to pay for them whenever the title of the
lands shall be determined.
The people are very poor. They have no
capital but their labor. They cut cypress
logs in the swamp; float them out in high
water and work them into shingles, boards
and cord-wood. These they sell to schooners,
which transport them to this city and take
back to the lumbermen supplies of provisions
In payment. Thus these poor people live, as
it were, from trip 4o trip of the schooners.
Most of them raise, on the sterile acres
around their cabins, a few potatoes and a little
corn. These products constitute their super
fluities or lu~urieR. But this year the floods
hate utterly destroyed their scanty crops
and left them utterly dependent upon their
timhar hhmninana
When the agent of the United States gov
ernment descended upon tis miserable com
munity, he found them with about 2500 cy
press trees on hand, some shingles and cord
wood. All this was promptly seized by the
government. Every bundle of three or four
hundred shingles, and even little piles of wood
were scraped up and promptly branded U. S.,
and the people ordered not to touch a single
tree or stick of timber; in other words, to
leave or starve.
'Their crops having been utterly destroyed,
and the government having captured every
log, shingle and stick of cord wood, the com
munity are on the verge of starvation. Those
who were the best off have divided their sup
plies with the more destitute; but now nearly
all is consumed, and Mr. Spiller's mis
sion to New Orleans is to see if
some steps cannot be taken to re
lieve the timber from seizure. The most
cruel part of the business is, that while these
miserable people-men, women and children
are thus ruined and threatened with starva
tion by the government, the government has
six deputy marshals, or keepers, in charge of
their logs and shingles at the munificent sala
ry of six dollars per day each. We are informed
that the agent has reported to the Department
that 20,000 logs have been seized, and that
upon this presentation this army of deputies
and keepers has been authorized.
We repeat that we do not believe the atro
city of this business, as shown by the state
ment made to us, is understood in Wash
ington. The people who are the vic
tims of this brutal seizure are en
titled to the charity and indulgence
or tie government rather than to itz
vengeance. God knows there are enough big
thieves in the land for the reformers in the
administration to hunt down without strik
ing where the enforcement of the law renders
justice the direst cruelty.
If these timbered lands belong to the gov
ernment, by all means let them be protected.
But let them be protected in a civilized and
humane manner. The destruction of the tim
ber should be stopped, but it is the sheerest
brutality to pounce upon these long-time set
tilers, without notification or warning, and
seize the last bunch of shingles they have
made, and leave them literally without bread.
If this is law, it is law in so brutal and un
sightly a shape that it is revolting to com
mon humanity and destitute of the plainest
principles of justice.
PENALTIES.
The letter addressed by Hon. Allen Jumol,
Auditor, to the Attorney General, on the 4th
inst., suggesting that a consultation be held
with his Excellency the Governor, and that
as broad a construction as possible be given
the law relative to penalties on back taxes, in
the interest of the taxpayers, will be received
with cheerful hearts throughout the State.
Both the Governor and the Attorney General,
we feel entirely safe in saying, are in full
accord with the Auditor in this matter, and
will recommend the very broadest construc
tion of the law consistent with their sense of
duty.
The law limiting the exemption of delin
quents from penalties to those who settle
their dues by the first of December, 1877,
is very explicit. It seems to leave no
power with the collectors to remit any pen
alties after that time. But, perhaps, the col
lectors might be directed to conditionally sus
pend the collection of the penalties until the
assembling of the Legislature, when that
body can take such measures for the relief of
delinquent taxpayers as it may deem wise
and just.
The penalties due under the law are very
large and constitute a real burden upon the
property of the State. In very many cases
penalties were incurred through the actual
lnability of persons, impoverished bythe long
era o mierule which afflicted the State, to
pay their taxes
A liberal pollay by the governammea thisa
'1 r will 101.r y reliie the Steur d
preseont mB is resolveda, sfer ad
the edsting laws will permit, to aid the peo.
pie in rehabilltating their fortunes.
The auspicious suggestion of the Auditor
has been cordially responded to by the Gov
ernor and Attorney General, and we have no
doubt a wise measure or plan of relief will be
devised.
Frank Rande, the Western ruffian, ar
rested in a pawnbroker's shop in St. Louis a
few days ago, after having killed one police
officer and wounded another, is undoubtedly
a remarkable character and would make an
excellent hero for a yellow-back novel. His
murderous career shows him to be a man ut
terly destitute of fear. In August last, when
he robbed the house of Mr. Bolden, inIllinois,
and was pursued by a large and angry
crowd, he stood his ground, killed Belden,
wounded several others, and escaped in the
confusion that followed. At St. Elmo also,
in the same State, he faced the whole town,
shooting down three persons, and again es
caped. He was only taken in St. Louis after
a severe fight with several policemen, and
after he was himself dangerously wounded*
These are only a few of his many deeds,
and the claim he makes of having killed
more men than anybody else in the West is
probably a true one; yet, says he, in his con
fesslon, "I never killed an unarmed man,
never shot any one but faced me with a pistol
in his hand, and never, under any circum
stances, harmed a woman in my llfe.
His later murders have caused Rande's life
to be investigated, and it has been found that
all he says is true. He is of good family, has
a fine education, and writes poetry (If that is
not against him), seems to love his wife and
family dearly, and is taking the greatest
care in educating his children.
Those who have read Eugene Sue's " Mys
teries of Paris" will probably find the true
solution of Rande's apparently contradictory
nature in Le Chourineur, who at certain mo
ments felt an irresistible desire to murder
and slay.
ine aanger ox sucn men as Iande In a
community have caused the people of St.
Louis to look on him only with horror and
disgust. It is said that wh Rando reached
Illinois in safety a general feeling of disap
pointment prevailed in St. Louis that he
had not been lynched. There seems to be
no hope of his escape, however, as the
Illinolsians have laid down these proposi
tions: If the jury sentence hlps to be hung
they (the mob) will spare him, but if the
jury fails in its duty they will then lynch
him. Rande's chances for life, therefore,
appear to be no better than those of the old
women of Connecticut tested for witchcraft,
who were thrown in the pond with the under
standing that if they swam they were
witches, and were to be taken out and burned;
If they drowned they were good women and
true, and were buried at the expense of the
State.
Rande is perfectly undaunted by his fate.
He is not afraid of the crowd outside his jail,
so anxious to lynch him, and announces his
willingness to face them all alone if he be
given but a club.
There are plenty of new States and Territo
ries in prospect. Utah wants to get in as the
State of Deseret, and New Mexico is equally
_aaloub tWr Juln 1W0 Union .,ndow como eLo
lean-Indian name. It is also proposed to
divide Dakotah into three new Territories.
The eastern part is to be rechristened as either
Huron or Pembina. The act creating this
Territory has already passed the Senate Com
mittee, and will undoubtedly be favorably re
ported and adopted by Congress in a few days.
In theWestern part of Dakotah the Black Hills
folks think that they have arrived at a degree
of importance that entitles them to recogni
tion as citizens of the new Territory of Lincoln
It is possible that they may succeed in having
a new Territory created, but not under this
name proposed. Congress decided some time
since that no territory should receive the name
of anyAmerican citizen, however illustrious he
may have been, holding that such a system was
confusing, illogical, and based on no proper
idea of nomenclature. The people of Colorado
were anxious to enter the Union under the il
lustrious title of the State of Jefferson, but
this name was actually refused by Congress
and the Coloradians requested to find some
better title for the new State.
The advocates of the Territory of Oklaho
ma, to be formed out of a part of the Indian
Territory, are also advocating this measure
before Congress.
Schoolboys will scarcely be able to keep up
with the geography of this country, under
these circumstances.
Senator Conkling, the most bitter enemy of
the Mississippi levee bill, because it relates,
as he says, to "purely local interests," has
recently presented to Congress, and given
his indorsement thereto, a petition asking for
$50,000 for a preliminary survey by army en
gineers of a route for a grand African rail
road, extending from Liberia into the inte
rior. It is Conkling's intention to develop
Liberia. He wishes, in addition to this $50,
000, to establish a steamship line from New
York to Liberia, by means of a large subsidy,
and will probably follow this up with a bill
making the United States guarantee the
bonds of this prospective Liberian railroad.
All of this is strictly proper. The Liberian
railroad cannot be called a purely local affair.
It is true that only two American vessels,
rickety old schooners at that visit Liberia
a year; that the national c ency of the
country is plug tobacco; that no en a mule
can live in its climate, yet withal it is certain
ly far more deserving of Federal aid and as
sistance than the Mississippi valley, which i
contains only half the population of the
Union, since its inhabitants are negroes, t
while those affected by the levees are for the c
most part ex-rebels. Let us build Liberia a !
dozen railroads if her intelligent citizens want i
them; it will develop an immense business in
cocoa nuts.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, Gen. Le
Duc, has devoted a great deal of attention to
the question of sugar raising in this country.
He has shown a disposition to favor Louisi
anain this matter, and in a report published
sometime since, suggested that this State
could, with proper capital, supply entire
the whole Union with sugar. Texas, how
ever, has responded to this report and
suggestion even more heartily than Louisiana.
The immense influx of immigration into
Texas necessitates diversified crope, and
cotton is now no longer the sole product
of the State. Quite a number of planters
have taken Ge. Le Due's hint, and given up
the cultivation of cotton for that of sugar.
ugar cane is not new to Texas; it has been
cultivated there for over forty ye7ar but the
entire pI'p4ucti of the, SPtats ot
tioas wme mostly uitnated In et
sorl., Matagorda and Fort Bend, comn
ties. There seems to be a general re
vival in sugar culture in the Lone Star
State just now. The Brenham Banner,
notices the fact that a large number of
farmers went into sugar raising last year
and that it proved so profitable that the acre
age devoted to cane, will be quadrupled next
season. It is a noticeable fact also, that the
old and reliable German-American farmers of
Berks county, Pennsylvania, have deter
mined on the cultivation of the sugar beet.
The fact that Cuba is no longer able to supply
this country with sugar, and that its pro
duction is decreasing each year makes it
absolutely necessary that the United States
shall raise its own sugar. Here is Louisi
ana's opportunity. Neither Texas nor Penn
sylvania can step in ahead of her.
