Fro.h Troubles at the South.

From The Times.
The renewed reports of levee breakage at
the South add to the complication of industrial
affairs in that section of the country. The
destitution of the people, the need of fresh
supply of labor, and the physical disasters
consequent upon the extraordinary rise of the
Mississippi, constitute a case which the nation
cannot ignore. During the progress of the
late war no attention whatever was paid to
the condition of the leyees that stayed the
inroad Of the great river; indeed, every break
was regarded as a reinforcement for the Union
army, and every inundation was as good as a
minor victory. Plantations were overflowed
in great numbers, stretches by the mile were
given up to the rush of the flood, and no effort
was made to repair the damage or to antci-
pate its recurrence. The consequence is that
the scattered planters along the line have
experienced during the last three years a
series of disasters enough to dishearten the
most hopeful, and utterly discourage new
comers from an attempt at cultivati ton.
A very serious question is this which occurs
to every Southern planter or Northern buyer
what can be done In other days individual
interest protected individual property, and
each river-frOnt owner served for his own sake
as levee superintendent, ready to do his part
and to call upon his neighbors to do theirs in
repairing Jue SllSuI6SJ euCIOdCuul6nJ OF Jn6
dreaded water. A different state of things
prevails now. There is no community of
interest The plantations are more frequently
rented than owned, colored men have charge
! of some, Northerners of Others and the old
regime of others; and among these elements
there is not the identity of feeling, that for
merly existed. The freedman would prefer to
get farm further back the tenant, finding
his acres too near the pending and probable
danger, would be very apt to throw up his
lease and secure one elsewhere. The fact Of
the case is simple and suggestive. The river
is continually playing havoc with the leVeeS
and the adjacent country, and the residents
along the line are unable to prevent it.
Accounts from Louisiana represent that the
flood has come this year month. earlier thar
usual, and that its force and height are un
precedented. The great crevasse in what Il
popularly known as the Grand Levee, created
intense alarm in the city of New Orleans
even, and well-informed authorities say tina
the levees in no portion of the State ar
strong and solid enough TO resist the enor
nous pressure to which they are now sub
jected. The levee referred to cost the peopl
some 100000, and was regarded as tri
umph of engineering skill. By its destruc
: ton, pecuniary loss beyond immediate est

The influence of Impeachment.

From Lhe Herald.
There appears to be something very healthy
in the influence of impeachment. Brandeth's
pills are regarded as a very potent remedy for
the sight, both intellectual and physical. In
political life there is another pill equally poten-
tial and that is combined in the prescription
for the general impeachment of everybody
holding public Office This pill should be ex-
tensively advertised as grand panacea for
all political ills. If the ailments of the body
polite can be cured at ALL it appears evident
that an impeachment pill is Just the thing to
do it. The threat to impeach President John
son by the House of Representatives, although
it was not carried out, had very good effect
and has resulted greatly to the benefit of the
country.
Some of the Southern papers let out the
secret that, inasmuch as the radicals in Con-
gress were intent upon striking the first blow
against a just and amicable reconstruction of
the quondam Rebel States, President Johnson
was preparing to arrest the members of Con-
gress, and disperse that body after the Crom-
welian fashion. Perhaps the Hon. Bobby
Brooks, in his Connecticut speech, had some
hint of that intention when he talked about
filling the railroad cars with a million of men
to assist in this dispensing of Congress- Dis
missing all such small questions, however, it
appears evident that MIR. Johnson, with the
threat OF impeachment, like the sword OF
Damocles, hanging over his head, has become
most active in executing the laws of Congress.
We were preparing articles of impeachment
against Chief Justice Chase for derelicton OF
duty in refusing to try JEFF Davis, according
to law, or releasing him upon his parole, and
for not carrying out the provisions of the
Bankrupt law, as prescribed by the act Of
Congress. But we are glad to see that the
Chief Justice is now acting like a man of good
sense in coming up to the work, and carrying
the Bankrupt law into operation. We hope
that he will also be prompt in settling the
case of jeff. Davis. Thus in political life we
observe that the process of Impeachment is
quite as potential in its medicinal effects as
Brandeth's pills or the Phoenix bitters upon
the human economy.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-04-11

mate is caused, and general feeling Of
distrust, apprehension, and gloom engendered.
Other elements contribute 70 make this dis
aster appalling. The loss of crops, the de-
struction of houses and material, and the
washing away Of land, not to mention the
unhousing of thousands of people, are to be
followed with unerring certainty by the pesti-
lential swamp fever, and the numerous varie-
ties of disease that accompany the overflow.
AT its next session Congress should devise
some scheme for reoonstructing these indis-
pensable works. In the meantime the melting
snow continues to find its way to the swelling
tide, the rivers flood is continually increased,
and the damage to property is augmented.
Something more comprehensive than simple
repairing is needed. The subject is of the
utmost Importance, and nothing less than a
broad and carefully matured system of CON
struction and supervision will meet the difficult
ties Of the futures those of the present are
beyond control.
