The cost of political anarchy in
Louisiana is neatly illustrated by the
little item of $117,0(H) which the Lou
isianaLogislaturo, the other day, just
before adjourning, appropriated to
Imy the dk|mfiOH of the extra session
convened, to act upon Mr. Wheeler's
compromise. This stun is, to lie sure,
but a small fraction of the actual loss
suffered by that unhappy State in
interrupted business by reason of
President Grant's invasion of the
Louisiana Legislature iu January
hist; but it is sufficient to pay a year’s

The Colusa Sun calls the attention
of farmers to tho foot, that the season
has arrived Tor cotton planting in that
country. Soule discouragement bus
been but by the largest cotton pro
ducers in Merced and Stanislaus coun
ties. They say if one or more facto
ries wore erected in some convenient
localities to work up the raw materia!,
they could increase the product to
any required extent. Strange, in a
State where there is so much capital,
no one thinkß of investing in such en
terprises.
How fortunate are the cotton plant
ers of California to be located so far
from cotton markets that the supply
of cotton produced must be limited
to the local demand for it from facto
ries. No cotton will ever be exported
from California until it has been con
verfed into yarns at Hwist. How rich
we would soon become If we had fac
tories enough here to spin all the cot
ton made here.
Real estate has commenced to ad
vance in earnest in New York City.
Upon this subject the ft'or/d offers
thoYollowing suggestion:
“llirt if tne system or leasing land
for twenty-oue years,with two renew
als, wore more generally adopted,
both the builder and owner would
find their account iu it, and tho build
er would be able to do then what he
cannot do now. In London it has
worked admirably. Why should it
not succeed equally wolf hero ? By
this system a builder of some means
gets, say the lease of a piece of
ground 2UO Uj W)6, or HM> by WO, as lie
may cnoose, without loosening his
purse-strings. The basis of tho lease
is a valuation of 0 per cent, on tho
actual value of the land. He puts up
an apartment house with his capital
credit, and a loan on mortgage if ne

We do not believe that any other
j term correctly describes the fenuful
I winds that on Saturday last so devas
tated Harris and Talbot counties. A
hurricane Is “a violent tempest of
wind, attended with thunder and
lightning, and rain or hail.” They
appear to have an electric origin; at
tho moment that the olectric spark
produces a combination of oxygen
and hydrogen, a sudden fall of rain
or hail is thus occasioned, and a vacu
um formed, into which the circum
numblcnt air rushes “with great ra
pidity from all directions.” The West
Indies, the Isle of France, and tho
Kingdoms of Siam and China are the
countries most subject to their rav
ages. They prevail iu many parts of
America, and the United States Gov
ernment seems now determined to as
certain their true character and tho
extent of the damages annually occa
sioned by their sudden visitations.
A hurricane iu northern latitudes
is not so severo ns in Southern cli
mates; and nothing that we experi
ence hero ever can compare in de
struction with the Harmntlan of Af
rica, which withers the whole vegeta
ble creation und turns green grass at.
once into hay. “.Extreme dryness is !
the characteristic of this wind; no
dew falls during its continuance, and j
it lasts generally about two weeks.” j
Nor is there anything on this eonti- j
nent that approximates the noxious j
hot Simoom, which blows at the pe
riod of the equinoxes, on the borders
of Arabia, on the Euphrates, and in
Persia, and Is fatal to human life. A
dark, yellow hue suddenly pervades
the eastern horizon; a thick sulphur
ous exhalation rises from the ground,
which is first hurried round in rapid
gyrations, and then ascends into the
air and covers the heavens. Hissing
and crackling noises are heard, and a
hot current of air, accompanied by
low sounds, rushes over
In more northern latitudes than ours,
tlie hurricanes are nothing more than ,
whirlwinds, occasioned by the meet
ing of opposite currents. But we ’
have the real hurricane which it wus
once supposed existeil only in more
southern latitudes Ilmn ours. Hero, |
nil the elements seem armed to de
stroy human labors, and oven Nature j
herself. “They begin in various;
ways; sometimes a little black cloud j
rolls down the mountains and sud
denly unfolds itself and covers the
whole horizon; at others, t.hs storm
comes on in tho shape of a fiery cloud,
which suddenly appears in a calm and
serene sky.”
In tho instance which wo described
in yesterday’s paper, it will be seen
that our hurricanes come on differ
ently. A rumbling sound is heard,
like an angry roar from the lowering
cloud which lias gathered over the
heavens gradually, and time is given
human beings to shield themselves
by taking refuge in pits and ditches
until the storm has passed. Houses
are swept away like “chips” upon the
surface of a river at the time of its
sudden flood; forests are uprooted in
the twinkling of an eye; and all the
improvements of human labor, to
gether with live stock of every de
scription, are borne with impetuous
force upon tho bosom of destruction.
An Alpine avalanche, is to high lati
tudes, what the hurricane is to south
ern latitudes.
We take the following items from
the Hun Francisco Morning Call:
Silver Small Change.—Over SOOO,-
000 of the fractional paper currency
accumulated in tho United States
Treasury last month, Secretary Bris
tow having commenced withdrawing
it, preparatory to issuing small silver
coin iu its stead. This would certain
ly prove good news to the denizens of
those States where the dirty, fragile
trash is the only small money in cir
culation, if the law making the
change were a feasible one. But un
der existing circumstances, with gold
at over 115 in New York, the object
proposed cannot be expected to be
accomplished.
What Shall We Do with Them ?
This is the inquiry lining made all
over the State in reference to the in- j
pouring tide of immigrants. Sacra
mento is crowded witli them to reple- !
tion. Hundreds come to Sail Fran
cisco. Both cities are selected ns a
point, of look-out, and in both there
should be some organized effort to
direct these people where to go and,
if possibe, what to do.
American Revivalists in England.
—Our London dispatches note the
arrival of a Californian named Tay
lor, who proposes to conduct a series
of revival meetings in the Victoria
Theatre. Precisely why a revivalist
should go from California to England
to labor, is not apparent.

The long au unusual severe winter
has given to thousands of the North
ern people a longing for a summer
clime, and were other tilings equal,
the Southern {States would Una ac
cession ot population from the North
which would give new life to that
trampled-out country. But the South
is tho clay vase, which dreads contact
with the iron shaft., and does not give
neighborly welcome to the hardier
and more energetic “carpet-bagger,”
who is attracted by the fertile soil
and mild skies to set up his domicile
beside Southern rivers aud on the
broad Savannahs of that pleasant
country. The editor of the lowa
State Register has returned from a
two months’journeying through nine
teen States, a trip of 5,544 miles, and
§ rints his observations upon the
outhern country and its people,
from which we quote the following:
"The results of the war in the South
were more desolating and destructive
of property aud tho comforts of life
than it had ever been portrayed to us.
It has destroyed property, labor and
enterprise. In nearly all communi
ties tne men of means and enterprise
have been so thoroughly crippled
that they are discouraged, where the
men who had nothing to lose, though
not despairing, never had any energy
to repair the waste places. In many
cases Northern men have taken large
farms, but from the faSt that they
were not practical farmers, nor sys
tematic men in anything, they, too,
have frequently failed. Nor are the
farmers of the South up to the times.
In many places they yet use the
wooHn miildboarculo their plows,
undUive never introduced the corn
planter or tho walking cultivator for
corn, cotton orMigar-cano. They are
! no farther advanced in this respect
thujahe No it ■pas thirty years ago.
! They have tho sAmo good reason as
! formerly for not raising many kinds
| of fruits, vegetables, poultry and oth
er luxuries, there being a large, rov-
I ing and vagabond population who
steal all such productions of garden,
i orchard or burn-yard. Thera is no
I place in tho South for us.

THE SUN!
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875,
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events ami develop
ments of 1875. Wo shall endeavor t*> describe
them fully, faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY BUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. We shall
not ITUIy endeavor to keep it fully tip to the old
standard, but to Improve and add to its variety'
and power.
THE WEEKLY BUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
hill length when of moment, and always, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It ia our aim to make th*- Weekly Bun tho best
family newspaper in the world. It will bo full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will priut nothing to offend the most
scrupulous ami delicate taste. It will always
contain the moat interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected ami legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in tin: Weekly Bun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and uselul to the farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and the Weekly Hun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and ior the
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and tho fashions
are regularly reported.
Tho price the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expenses of pajier
and printing, we are not able to make auy dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents tho cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rato of subscription. It is not necessary to got
up a club iu order to have tho Weekly Hun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages, 5d columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount
from this rate.
THE DAILY BUN—A large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscription,
postage prepaid. 65 cents a month, or $6.50 a
year. To dubs of 10 or over, a discount f2O
