the Southern people. Our leaders told
us these harsh measures were necessary
to keep down the spirit of resistance AT
the South. We are beginning to discov-

We are ready TO repudiate the policy 81

The HICKEY LEvEE.-It is with regret
We are compelled to acknowledge that
the negotiations II regard = building
this lsvee have Bignally failed. Where
the fault lies, If fault there be, we are
not prepared 10 say, nor 2 we attach
the blame to either party, or both. But
this we do know-and it is but right that
the people Of this parish and lberVli'e
should understand il at once-that the
assistance Of the Penitentiary hands can
not be relied upon in building the Hickey
Ievee | While it is yet time, some other
wavs and means must be devised to com
plete the work, or q repetition Of asst years
overflow must ensue. 1t is growing late
in the season, and a rainy spell may set
in at any moment. What can be dezle,
must be done speedily aud without any
unnecessary delay. If all efforts fall, or
the State cannot come TO our assistance,
parties whose lands are subject to over
flow should be made aware of the fact in
time, so that they may secure other homes
for the present. Our police juryis doing
all within its power to have this leyee
built, but that body cannot be expected
to work miracles. We advise our her
vile cotemporaries to post tbeir readers
upon this matter.
