DEPLoRABLE CAsUALrY.-The good citi.

that a difficulty had arisen the night pre-.
vious between Lieut.. W.. II. MCGEE, Of
the 10th o. S. Insanity and Acting As.
sistant Surgeon G. B. Braman, of the
same regiment, in which the latter was
killed. The origin Of the difficulty we
could not learn with sufficient precision
to place it before the public. Both gen.
tlemen have many warm friends in that
city, who are unfeigned in their express.

NO. The first of September is fast ap-
preaching, which is usually considered
the last of summer months when levee
work a best be attended to, and still
nothing is heard from the immaculate
Board Of Levee Commissioners in regard
to closing Grand Levee break, nor do we
expect to hear anything until we hear
the groans Of those overaowed by the
next high water informing us Of misery
and restitution in their midst. Why it
is that men charged with such an import.
ant trust should be SO criminally neglect.
full Of their duties is something we can
not understand. They are, or are suppos-
ed tobe, Louisianian', andto appreciate the
position in which they are placed. and
which they freely accepted, by doing
their duty without delay and without
frittering away their valuable time. 1t
may be sport to them, but it is death to
many of our citizens. If they cannot or
will not do what is expected of them,
they ought to resign at once, and let
others more capable take their places.

A Washington special of the Sth, to the
Louisville Courier, says The result Of
the Kentucky election surprises the most
sanguine Democrats and is regarded as
the foreshadowing of the Democratic
ground swell that is steadily setting in all
over the North. The political situation
brigbtens daily. News from the Pacific
represent gains for Seymour and Blair as
certain in every State. Some old fogy
New York politicians recently telegraph.
ed to Frank Blair, asking him to moder-
ate the tone of his speeches. His answer
was decisive. He informed them that he
had studied the situation carefully /;
thought he understood it, and meant to
treat it freely and fearlessly. 1t is said
that Gov. Seymour is very much pleased
with Gen. Blair's speeches. +,

DA- From present indications, another
rainy spell is at hand, to continue, we
suppose, until it gets good natured
enough to stop. Cotton picking having
fairly set in on many farms, these rains
not only compel it's discontinuance, but
are of no earthly benefit to the cotton

WE WANT PEACE.

FOR some Gays past tueIc lao pSc" I"itN
a lull in the display of bitter feelings
between the Democratic and Radical
members of the Legislature. What are
we to infer from this? Has reason re-
sumed her sway, and the men sent to
attend to the interests Of the State for
gotten, or laid by, their personal bicker'
ings, and gone steadily TO work Let US
hope so, at least for the respect of the
State if not for her interests. From the
beginning we could never understand
what particular benefit was to be derived
from Mr.. This or Mr.. That attempting to
make a bully Of himself upon the floor
Of either house. We could not understand
how the Democratic party was to be ben
Gifted by its representatives ia that body
taunting and defying the Radical mem
bers, and it was equally inexpIcable why
Radical representatives could find no
better employment than denouncipg their
opponents 10 the vilest Of epithets with
out the slightest color Of Justification
1t is high time this most stupid Of follies
should cease. No matter which side be-
gan this silly system Of vituperatiop, it
shoald end. We blame no one for de-
Tending himself when assaiIed, but we do
censure the one who so far forgot himself
as to give cause Of offence. The condit-
ion of the State is fearful enough already
standing as we do upon the brink of a
volcano-without having the Legislature
the fountain head of political turmoil from
whose source to flow the streams of dis
content, a~crimony and bitter hostility
which even now are beginning to harass
and agitate people Of all coIols. Let the
Legislature set the example-let good
men of both parties frown down these
dissensions-tbcse personal attacks of
one member upon another, and strive to
bring about a better state of feeling
The example thus set would have a pow
full effect in the country where the people
are having trouble enough without their
being increased by political disturbances.
An election is at hand in which we fear
difficulties of the most serious character.
We are no alarmist, we simply state
what we and every other intelligent nan
knows 10 ue u fact. Every goou CITIZEN,
without respect to color. would a thous-
and times prefer that peace and harmony
should exist at that time without the ne.
cessity Of intimidation to control the
polling either way. OF trouble we have
had enough already and desire no more,
if it can be avoided with honor. Let the
Legislature set the example of good feel,
ing at once by a show of harmony among
the members. Let the best men of both
parties assemble and endeayor to devise
ways and means to secure a quiet and i'm
partial election, both parties making rea.
sonable concessions to secure that end
1t is their duty to do SO, and if they neg
lect, or fail to effect an amicable arrange
ment hy which this proposition can be
carried out, they are recreant to their
trust, and the blood Of people really in.
nocent may be upon their heads.

The PRESIDENT AND THE CARPET Bag
GERs.-The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times is emphatic in de-
claring that the President distinctly
avows his determination not to hold in
~tercourse with the officers of The Southern
mongrel governments. Whereupon the
Times comments as follows:
The fact, however, is what Immediate
ly concerns us--that Mr.. johnson not
only does not intend to recognize the
officers of the ~reorganized States, but is
prepared to acknowledge the officers un-
der bis provisional governments, whose
position, in the eye of the law, does not,
at this moment. differ from that of any
other citizen. If, in the absence Of Con-
eress, Mr., Johnson receive from any of
the present Governors of the reconstruct
ed States applications for help, under
whatever emergency, bis mind is made
up to a refusal. He will neither recog-
nize nor help them.
The result anticipated by the Presi-
dent does not appear more doubtful than
the initiatory fact. T" He predicted that
the withdrawal of the troops from the
Southern States would result 10 the de-
struction of the carpet.bag governments"
Precisely. The Southern opponents Of
reconstruction have reiterated the pre-
diction for several months. They have
uniformly threatened the overthrow, by
the whites, of the newly formed govern
ments SO soon az the protection of the
military should be withdrawn. This threat
is proclaimed now with a positiveness in
spired by the attitude of the President,
and with a bitterness which unmistaka.
bly, foreshadows violence and bloodshed.
