The Sheriff of this county went to Folsom

the late riot with the Chinese. He took with
him three deputies, and had thirty war;
rants. Seventeen were brought to this city
to-day. The two principal rioters are Mich

men taken offered no resistance, and we're
perfectly willing to come. They state the

red in this parish, although the levees
have been made to yield to the pressure
of the water, at various points. At
Pointe Coupee, near the Post-ofice, Nor
ganza, and the Village, the places most
in danger, a large number of hands
have been employed for several days to
raise and strengthen the levees.
From what we learn from the rivers
above, at least another foot of rise may
be looked for bringing the river up to
the mark of 1850. We are glad to be
able to say that all levees constructed
by the parish and State, are in fine or

the water and in no danger of yielding.
The stability -four public levees goes
to show that all levees should be con-

THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY.

While we can but deplore the infleli.
ty of those Of our Northern friends who
have abandoned us in the late memora
bic crisis, says the Kentucky Statesman,
we a but feel an emotion Of pride at
the heroic frmness of those who have
stood true to their past pledges and no.
bly, redeemed the confidence which the
South has reposed in them. We have
again and again insisted that slavery,
in it's constitutional protection, had no
truer friend than the Northern Democra-
cy, and have contended that in all sec
tional struggles the South can more
safely rely upon the free State Democrat,
than on the Southern oppositionists,
Know Nothing, American, or whatever
he may assume to be called. We had
never hoped that all protesting Demo.
Gratis in the North would stand the test,
but we did cherish an abiding conf
dence that enough would pass the orde-
al to give the South her rights if she
were true to herself. And this is true.
Thirty Northern Democrats have stood
IN the late contest side by side with the
Southern Democracy, and had the slave
State representatives been united, the
victory would be to us, and Kansas
would this day be a slave State. Tween
ty-two members from tie free States
elected as Democrats, and by past fealty
entitled to our Condolences faltered. hut
Vedough were left to secure an tho Sonth
asked, had not Southern men proved re-
creant to their friends. Kansas is not
lost by the infdelity of Northern Dem.
ocrats, bat the treachery Of Southern
Americans. A majority of Northern
Democrats voted for the unconditional
admission. Six Southern Americans
turned the scales and gave the triumph
TO the North.

poets whatever, shall be complete and

termine by a vote whether it is the wish

and, if so, shall proceed to form a Con
s%titution and take all necessary steps
for the establishment Of a State Gov

The public, generally, are not probably
aware of the fact, that heretofore the
Commissioners of swamp Lands drew
from the State Treasury the whole a
mount of the appropriations made to
their respective districts, and kept the
in their own pockets, or used it
for their own purposes, until they were
ready to pay the contractors.
It was almost incredible that the State
had been placing in the hands of indi-
viduals hundreds of thousands of dollars
of the public money, and only exacting
security for the safe keeping and proper
use of this immense amount, in the gum
of five thousand dollars.
We believe the Commissioners are men
of strict integrity, yet it is the height
of recklessness, On the part Of the State,
to place such large amounts of money
in the hands of individuals without any
necessity for so doing. 1t holds out the
strongest temptations, to the Commits
s%ioners, to use the money in their hands
for the purposes Of speculation and tQ
procrastinate, as much as possible, the
public works uneer their charge, in orr
der to keep the money in their hands as
long as possible.
Thanks to the watclfuIness of our
able Senator, Gen. B. B. SHINES, for his
timely action in this matter-for it is to
him that we W the passage of this
most excellent law-or the Democratic
party would, in all probability, had the
old system continued much longer, have
been compelled to bear the responsible
ty of the loss of hundreds of thousands
Of the public money.
