TERREBoNNB.-T The Civic Guard Of the l2th
says:
Much uneasiness is being felt in the overlooked
portion of our parish on the subject OF high water
Should we have another overflow, the condition OF
our people living in that section would be dis
tressing, The water in the bayous Black, Tiger
Chacahoula and swamps is certainly rising at the
rate of about an inch day but we are of opinion
this rise is mainly caused by the late immense rise
OF Red River which poured its waters down the
Atchafalaya. AS the Red River is now falling We
have good reason to believe that the waters here
will not rise much higher,
The same paper has the following:
Having given our parish a thorough canyassing
we feel qualified to speak knowingly of the
prospects for crops, the condition of each planta
ton, the politics of people and the status of the
. freedman We feel sorry for the Reconstruc
| ton Committee, that our testimony was not taker
before that august body. Some of the candidates
were really very tired of the canvass and heartily
wished il was over long before the election but
! were it not for the expense and loss of time VIZ
could find much pleasure and profit in electioneer
| ing, to say nothing of a world OF fun.
On some future occasion we hope to give on
readers the benefit of our observations in full
| For the present, however, we will only say tina
the prospect for good crop in this parish is very
fair. II is true that some lands are not cultivated
for want Of labor, and in that part Of the parisl
overlooked last year, the corn crop will not b,
good, on account of the bud worm, but with thest
exceptions the crops look very fair.
1t viii be seen by the returns from the dffeTcn
precincts in this parish that the following gentle
men have been elected
For sherh-Captain A. G.. Cage
For clerk OF conrt-H. Il. Beanger.
For recorder. R. Verret
For ASSESSOR uguste Theriot.
For eoroner--Clinton Belanger.
