which to prosecute labor before the water
wo1ld be at the base of the levee; and
even IL completed, owing to the freshness
of the earth, it would afford no guarantee
fhat1t would resist the pressure Of the
water.
In the foregoing remarks l have sup
posed the Board would be in possession Of
cash finds, ON the faith of which the con-
tracts would be made. So far from this
being expected, however, the difficulty is
to know where any funds are to come from.
The late Board, in their report, thought that
the unexpended bonds from the four mil
lions appropriation might be sold at eighty
cents on the dollar if the provisions of the
law for the payment OF the interest were
held inviolate. But by the passage of a
bill in one branch of the Legislature, it s
proposed to divert these bonds to other
purposes. Should the bill become law
another species of bonds will have to be
substituted if an appropriation is made to
carry out the purposes OF the law creating
the Board, and which, in my opinion,
would increase the difficulties in negotiat-
ing funds and lead to further delay before
the work on the levees can be commenced.
Knowing the large interest which you
have as a planter in the security of the
levees in your parish, as approaching the
necessity of protection from. overflow to
all the alluvial lands, l have felt it my
duty to address you this communication
giving you my views as levee contractor
of twenty years experience, and in the
hope that it would either lead to prompt
action on the part of the Legislature in
providing ways and means to build the
levees, if done at all, or a frank acknowl-
edgement on their part that it is too late
for anything to be done this season.
Disastrous as will be the condition of
the planting interest, particularly ia the
upper parishes of this State, if the leyees
are not built, yet it is better it should be so
rather than to expend million of dollars
for the contract Of works which would be
swept away By the first rise of water.
Simply regarding my interest as leyee
contractor l should be in favor of letting
ont the contracts without taking into con-
sideration their utility; but as citizen
and taxpayer claim to be governed by
higher motives than mere pecuniary profits
in this matter.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant.

rHB DIsTURBANOB LAsF NIGHT.


The disturbance on Canal street last
evening was fair sample Of what the De-
mo cratic Journals are in the habit Of cali
ing negro riots" but which should in
truthfulness be called "massacres. of ne
groes.n
The riot of July, 1866, was the same
thing upon a larger scale; and as then the
Democratic organs strained every nerve
and exercised their utmost ingenuity to
excuse the butehery, so now they strive to
make the country believe that the bloody
business Of last night was begun
and carried on by the Republicans.
In answer to this we have only to point
to the dead body of the Republican who
was slain in Canal street; to the undoubted
fact that the first shots were fred by Demo
cratic rioters from the gallery of the res
taurant, and that almost simultaneously
some half dozen shots were fred at the
procession from the corner of Rampant
street.
Inc Republican procession was peace
full, and when the difficulty began, endea-
vored, in accordance with standing instruc-
tons, to avoid any conflict
1t was followed and attacked by Demo-
cratic clubs, and as a fitting finale, the
c hartman of the Democratic Parish Com
mittee went to the City Hall, after all dis
turbanee had ceased, and attempted to
sound by telegraph the general fire alarm,
as he said, ''to call out the citizens to put
down this riot
We can all fancy what is meant by call
ing out 'citizens" to putdown riot which
has already come to an end.
The philosophy of the whole thing is
simply this. That the Democracy Of Lou
isiana do not recognize the right of Re-
publican procession to parade at all!
They call letting it alone "forbearance,"
and counsel an abstinence from attack
only as measure of temporary policy.
The slightest pretext sufices for bloody
battle, and they are ready to make any
street fight signal for general massacre.

EHAr Is OALLRp A NEGRO RIoT.

The ineoherent and plainly mendacious
account Of the disturbance in Georgia
amounts, when sifted to just this:
A Republican procession is attacked by
Democrats with fifty stand Of arms"
From forty to eighty Republicans are
killed and wounded, and not single Dem
ocrat is killed.
So it was in Dryades street in 1866. So
it was more lately in Millican, Texas.
These are what lying dispatches call
NEGRO riots" But the people know
better.

THE INTENTION

A Democrat stated in a city railroad car
this morning that if there should be COL
lision or riot in New Orleans he was in ia
vor Of killing every white Republican in
the city. ny
This is not the first time that this bloody
and harha-ous plan has been openly re-
vealed. t
Yet such people talk about their
love for law and order, and consider them
selves civilized, while they plot murder and
organize assassination.
