in the reirganiz atlon of the Supreme Uourt t
by (Go. Wh'tz, we sntertain no doubt that the
selections hei will t ske will be men in whose
appointments the pr d.ple of the State at large
will oheerfnl,'y acrqu teoe. The court as con
stituted at ths prose it time is nomposed of,
perhaps, the b nst tale it in the State. We do
not know that any ch'anges which it is posV
lsble to make a iuld replaoe the present bench
with men who a.re more highly esteemed, or
whose attainma its at th e bar are so generally
acknowledged. As jurlite they possess the
most eminent qn alilfleatioi , and their record
of servies to the State has atecially endeared
them to those wi >se confileuce.they contttnue
to entjoy.
The (hidef Justit e, Thos. t. Manning, who
was appointed In m[m lapides parish, is so
well known to the people of this titate that
alight we can say cannot add to his recoit
nizwd character as the peer or any man, In
every respect, in oat r whole country. To a
people by whom bs is so highly esteemed
.or his eminent attil,'tI's and his unsullled
record as a pu)llio e Ran, it would be pecu
ilarly gratifylag to is 'e him accorded such
a recognition of the high estimation in
which he is held by an elevation to a seat in
that body to which we regard him as pre
eminently llift". Weis .lIude, of course, to
the United statee Hn ate. Now In the
prime of life, possessing talents of the high
est order, a sound lawyer, with a long expe
rience in various public aS ittons, and'uniting
all Ia aperson of the most a nmmandlng figure
and of a most pleasing add ress, he is singu
larty fitted to grace that -t lit august hbiy,
and to sustain the hfih oham oter which Iyou
tisanaonceen.oyed when rep eientel hy uch

We hope, however, to see Mil retained in his

exert our feeble eflorts in sustaining his
claims to a seat in the United Sitates Ht'.%ate.

The Maine trouble Is doing the country and
the world one valuable serviee in showing
how much alike human nature is under all,
circumstances and In all latitudes. A readerof
the Maine papers, and especially of It.l.
bilalne's "home organ," during the last ten
Bears, would Suppose hbat it was only in
SHuth Carolina and Louslelana that people I
threatened armed reslstauce when they didn't
like the goings-on of their State government;
but it seems that the Maine people resort I
reailly to the same baneful practice. We
ouid hardly believe our eyes when we saw
that a load of State aims, I charge of a
itate offlcer, was stooped by a mob in the
streets of Bangor on UtChltmas day and for.
cibly returned to the arsenal, nad when we I
read the mayor's written defense of it, on the 1
Uround that "our people" were "exlcted,'"
andt had to act in this way when they "got
mad"-ffor all the world ilkw the wicked, turbu- I
lent "ex-rtebels" down In Lorisiana. WeoI
suppos.l, too, that it was only in the poor, I
harlbrous, benighted South that peop.e were
threaten"d with assasRnatlon anti assault
when their political actIon was displeasing to
"the citi.ntus;" but it anpears Gov. (Ikroolon
rece'ives doz-ns of sunbt threats every (lay.
We sipposei that social and business "ostra
cilm" of obnoxious politicians was unknown
outside the cotton States; but it seems that
peoww>pln in Maine are withdrawing their c:s
tuou from the members of the Councli, cut
ting them in the street, and refusing to
invite thorm to their houses. To crown
all, it is not Houthorn pastors only
who rei(.nrnmntd battle, tmurder andl ud(
(dIn delath as a remedy for political
grievances. The Maine pastors hav', been
engaged in the same holy work. They want,
one of them has said, no "mob violence,"
butt "systematic war," just to sete which side
the (lGo of leace likens het. Of course we
know all these things are wrong when done
iby brigailiers anti ex-rotelds, ant right when
mone by law-abiding Maine people; but is it
not singular that the had and gtiool when they
got angry show It in so nearly tile same man

called for in Maine ? Isn't Gov. Garcelon an
excellent subject for "troops ?"

The dead of 1879 include many men of ac t]
tion, and not a few whOsn labors have eml- U
nently contributed to the welfare of thiy race;
but on the whole, the list is not a shining one.
The one ruler, whose taking off was signlfi
cant, was theer All, the luckless Ameer of Af- c
ghanlstnn. An imperial pretender, the young
Prince Napoleon, and an ex-queen in pettw;
Madam Patterson-Bonaparte, marked by I
their careers the beginnling and the end of a
dynasty. In Jacob Staemplli the Swiss H
Confederacy lost an ex-president- one t
of the Geneva Arbitration Commis
sion, it will he remembered. FEpar
tero lacked the name of sovereign, but
more than once had held in his patriotic
hands the destiny of his country. He ranks
equally among the great statesmen and com
manders. In the latter category stands first,
for organizing ability, Gen. Von Hioon. A
number of meritorious generals in our civil
war, on both sides. Joseph Hooker, John B. t
Hood, John A. Dix, T. W. Sherman, .Jrff. C.
Davis, James Shields (a Mexican veteran
also) and Dick Taylor are among the miss
ing; and uieliman Pasha and Major Cavag
narn may both be set down as victims of
British Russophobla. Statesmen or politi
cians other than those already mentioned
were Pierre Magne, of financial fame; John
Arthur Roebuck, now buried un
der a Liberal successor: Isaac Butt, the
Home-Ruler; Caleb Cashing and Zechariah
Chandler. A useful legislator was lost to
Congress in the person of Gustav Schloicher,
the Texan Representative. Mr. Delane, of the
Times, had a more than parliamentary scope
and power. He survived by a few months
his fellow-journalist, James Grant, of the
Morning Advertiser, as well as Jean Hippolyte
de Vlllemessant, editor of the kigaro, Charles
Appleton. editor and founder of the Academy,
and Morton McMichael, editor of the Puila
dolphia North American. In this same city
Dr. Isaac Hays edited for tilty-two years the
American Journdl of Medical science, and
Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, who was born with

LETTERS FROM TiE PEOPLE.
IThe DEMOOBAT Is responsible for now of
the views expressed in the communi.o
under this head; but no commuoulations w
be printed except from responsible parties
OUR MSUGA MART.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
You have already been good enough il
your issue of the third instant to publish *
communication of mine under the above head,
in which the subject of the present system of
weighing sugars and gauging molasses on th
levee in Now Orleans is briefly disouseed. L
said there that my object was to draw pubile
attention to this matter, And that I might
follow it farther, i' you thought fit to open
your columns to its consideration. In prt
suance of this I now propose, with your
mlesson, to touchll upon the conditions of
of our sugar and molasses when brolug.
upon the levee, and toshow the disadvanMtaW
under which the seller labors.
The period of sale for our "sweeteW may be
said to last, practlcallp, only sit mofl W
from the middle of Oetober to the Iddle of
April --arid. In fact, this isonly atitsailytruea
tosugars; molasses, owing to Ite ferinastilt
tenrieuny, belng dieposed of at an earlier date.
As a result of this restricted period of soa,
and also besause most planters have earl
matering ohligations to .eet, sLgarr
molasses, as soon as the rollieris faltly sil
der way, are shipped to New (Orleans with a
fever lh rpldlty. Before the war, Wi,.
nearly triple tirhe present available space
allottrd(on the Inevee, thers was not suf
room for the pa+ages. Blint since then, w
with authorized and unauthorised enorosmab
merts of rallroads'and their depots, ofas'
to steamse'ip compaones and leases tw'prl
larties, ant finally, most oijectionasble
indefensibloof all, since the apvroprt le
misappropriation of one-half the retalnl
poese to the w'gar shed', it may be .alI t
tohe area for the uutrammeled and free dseo
".weets" is miserably deficient. -:.
I nay nothirg here of the lamentable e. n .
ition of the levee, of it defectivedrfla , ;
Lts neglected repairs, its mud, its holeilW t
eambing at times rather a 8erbosian but
than ar open mart-forbarbernd-s t.- e hose -
are soelderations for municipal ears. Btt,
as if all these dvawbacks were not enou.ha .
It is ordained that all sugars and muadsU "I
that have been exposed for sale on the levyi
and remain unseold for twenty-four Ihoulr,
shallincontinently be transferred totheissitr
sheds, thereby subtecting them to ep.rPtI
or drayage, and also to the tariff of ehlsiWt
retablesh4 by the i4ugr Shyt Oompanij' S

This Is, Indeel, piling "ePeon a OSgN." .

Thus, then, stands the case: A body .

)roducts reach, the levee, that they must be

hat they must pay on each pw-age

`i'ig the sugar and molwasses t7emei0dl

10e tramp holding an augur may draw oiaelo
a diozrn samplet from a hogehead, or, with
pallette, take out from each barrel frolnia
plot to a quartof molasses, while acarowd
filthy beggars hang around to pick up nat
profit by this senseless waste; and tihat, flft .
ly, and as the orown of all, they must fru
the risk of beinug still further "reoloted i
damages" if they do not "agree with therl
adver.saries quctkly while they are In the waW
with them," in that they must seetheir pse.a
1sges disappear Into the gulf of the sugar
sheds If they do not take such price as the
shrewd buy.er may choose to offer.
I have thre hii lly presented what maybe
called " the Case of the Planter," not, lndeed,
with that fo,rce that it merits, but is the hope
of awakening serious conslderation of art lis
portant htu4iess interest. Strange as it Lma
seem, I doubt If the parti.e most interesit,
the planters themselves, are aware of the e.
tent to which they suffer. There is a.lh I
thlrg as having so long submitted toan lab"S
as not to feel its chain. Tre sugar faetoM,
too, of New Orleans are, It not as greatly
yet deeply concerned in the correction of the.
rbolses, and as they are on the ground, are
cognizant of them, are many of them me04t
marked energy and intoilgence, we may ice*
urally look to them for encouragement anM
seistan(ce in our eff',rtr to free ourselyrI
from these heavy burdens.
And here I beg to say ihat I trust thedle ~
cussion of this question will come up at thea
umeetings of the 8ugar Planters' Aseociati4
numberlng among Its members not oQUI
planters, but sugar factors and buyers.
My object is to awake attention and disse'.
sion. If there be two sides to this quesat. e
trust that the other side will let itself be
heard, either In the columns of the dait
journals or at the meeting of the aseooCIrtal.
For the present I refrain from suggestnig
any scheme or plan by which sales ot eaupe
and molassee may be made in a iolonr
satisfactory manner. That such a sehem ,
can be devise'i, I helieve; but a general aD
ifuller expreeton of the views of all partleMIS
desirable and solicited. These ones presearn
the ground will be cilared for examlinatlo nli
a competent committee, and for a reportI aS
vising discreet future action. PhLAW.h.
