and several smaller breaks, are open,
and some of the levees are still below
grade.
Their reports show that they have con-
structed 6,05S,750 cubic yards of levees
since their organization, at an aggregate
cost of S3,273,0OO, and that they will
require s., OOO, 900 more to place the whole
system in repair, and thereafter con-
slant annual appropriation Or tax to
provide for the inevitable wear and caving
of the banks of the rivers. r..
From these figures We can Judge the
vast expense of the levee system, and this
will be the case whether the work be
done by the riparian proprietors, the
parish authorities, the State or general
government, or by private corporation
and the matter is of such magnitude that
it should engage your earliest and most
earnest attention. IS
The bill passed by the last Legislature
giving the lcvees to private corporation,
contained some serious objections, and I
have returned it with my veto; but it is
evident that some more efficient plan
must be adopted than that of irregular
and uncertain appropriations, for though
it can be shown that the works done by
the Board of Public Works have been
successfully constructed, yet this vast
labor will be nearly useless the other and
constantly occurring crevasses are closed
and the large works, already built, saved
from the encroachments of the river.
Iwould therefore recommend that q
sufficient appropriation be made, and
that the powers of the Board of Public
Works be increased SO that they can
have works done without contract, when
desirable, and also to authorize them to
check the encroachments of the river
where the large and costly works are in
danger, if it be practicable.
1t seems apparent that the Congress of
the United States is willing to assist the
riparian States to rebuild the levees, if
some tangible plan is adopted, and pro-
badly q cooperative board, to be ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States, would insure this desired as
sistance.

1 warn yOu, gentlemun, against certain
schemes of piunder which are already or
ganizing, and viii continue to be organi; :
ed and presented to you for your votes.
These are propositions which, under the
guise of public improvements, or of claims
against the State, are simply plans to rob
the treasury and fill the pockets of I'M
principled Spectators. The persons who
will probably importune you most per-
tinaciously for the most barefaced of
these specluations are well-dressed gen
tlemen, claiming to be the representa-
tives of the most respectable of our people.
1t Is these pleasant gentlemen in broad
cloth, with their gigantic swindles, en-
bracing millions, and no. the poor and
needy applicants for some long delayed
but petty act of justice, who have most
depleted the public till in the past, and
will endeayor to do so again.

MILITIA.

In accordance with an act of the last
General Assembly, have taken steps TO
enroll the militia of the State, and have
also accepted several vonlunteer organi-
cations. In performing this duty, I felt
it to be at once II grave and delicate task.
Upon no subject was more apprehension
felt, or would mistake in Judgment have
been so disastrous to the general In
terests of the peaple, us upon that of the
organization OF the militia. I WIS r,ge,,
by some to organize Il pure:y partisan
militia, and seriously blamed bv Others
for not doing 50. l refused to do this.
and accepted as volunteers all good citi-
zens who offered their services, without
distinction OF party, until the legal com
pletment OF the First Division WIS filled.

the appropriation allowed me, and placed
in their hands the preservation OF peace
anu ORDER, ana the protecClOn OF LIE and
property in the State, in case OF any
emergency in which the civil authorities
should need their aid. All classes and
all parties were represented in the mill
til. The result was that, during the late
exciting election campaign, all classes
and al parties were relieved of appre-
hension from each other, and felt sense
OF security. In adopting this course I
received the severe censure of many of
my political friends, who were opposed
to receiving into the militia men who
had fought on the side of the South dur
the wal. believed that the honor of
Louisianians could always be trusted.
The result has amply fulfilled my expecta-

State which mainly produce our two
great staples, are especially recommended

And upon this all-important subject I
would remark that the reports from the
Board OF Public Works show that the
appropriation OF three millions of dollars
IN the bonds of the State have been ex-
hausted, and That still the large crer.ss,es

State-increases with wonderful rapidty.
Therefore, I am hopeful for the future
and look forward to day, not far dis
tant, when our finances shall have at
tanned most prosperous condition.
Several wise financial measures were
adopted by the last Legislature, and
have conduced to o more healthy copdi-

Hon. j. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, on the
Situation.

We find in an exchange, a speech by |
the above named distinguished Demo.
cratic leader, from which we take the
following extract:
/ make no pretensions to the charac
ter of party loader, and have no as
pirations to be considered as an archi-
tect of public sentiment; yet, while l
entertain the profoundest respect for
the opinion of those who may differ.
with me on this as upon other questions
! must be permitted to say that my
poor capacity can discern in it nothing
but disaster, should it become the doc
trlne OF the Democracy that these
amendments are in fact part of the
Constitution, never to be disturbed.
We cannot afford, after having denoun-
ced them so long and so truthfully, as
frauds and outrages upon the people,
fraught with the elements of certain
destruction of our form of government,
to turn around now and pledge the
faith of the party to their acceptance
and their execution. Nor, in my hum
BILE judgment, is such a course necessary
to success, even if it has come to that
extremity that party triumph can be
obtained only by an abandonment ol
some political principle. The great
heart of the American people does not
endorse these amendments.
The doctrine of the Fifteeth Amend
ment was repudiated by the Radical
party itself, in the very Convention
that nominated General Grant, when
, it declared, in the second resolution OF
its platform, that the question of suff
rage, especially in the loyal States
rightfully belonged exclusively to th'
. people of the several States. They
dared not go into the canvass upon tn
! contrary principle, for wherever thu
! question of negro suffrage had beel
/ submitted to the direct vote of the peo
I pie in any of the "loyal States" it ha
met with an overwhelming and crush
. ing reputation. Missouri, bound an
i. manacled as she was, voted it down b.
+, over thirty five thousand majority
y Michigan voted it down by over twent
: thousand majority; Wisconsin by ov,
A thirty thousand, and Ohio by over fift
4 thousand. Even bleeding Kansas r.

Z thousand. Nor is this all. With tn

The ant.eating woodpecker, a COM
mon California species, has a curious
and peculiar method of laying up pro-
visions against the inclement season.
Small round holes are dug in the bark
of the pine and oak, into each one of
which is inserted an acorn, and so
tightly is 1t fitted or driven in that 1t Is
with difficulty extracted. The bark of
the pine trees, when thus filled, pre-
sents at short distance the appearance
OF being studded with brass headed
nails. Slowed away in large quantities
in this manner, the acorns not only sup
ply the wants of the woodpecker, but
the squirrels, mice and jays avail them
selves likewise of the fruits of provi-
dent labor.

Out on tho balcony wide,
Daily take my round,
With fancy and feeling kecnly alive
To the senses of sight and sound
Tho mountains arise in their pride,
And shut out the suns bright rays.
And they cast n gloom like funeral pail
O'cr these dreary monotonous days.
There is little to please the sight,
But something to charm the ear.
And this is the reason linger SO long
In my daily wanderlngs hcre;-
For river goes rushing by,
AS in haste for the far of sea,
And the spell 1t bears on It's baobllng waves
Has wonderful charm for me.
For hear in its echoing tide,
murmur of low whispered words,
That suddenly rise into angry or loud,
Then sweet as the songs of the birds;
And they tell me u tale of the past.
They bring back the days that are fled,
And often before my wondering soul,
a curious vision Is spread.
No longer wander alone
In the balcony airy and wide.
For AN eager, restless and varying throng,
Are around me on every side.
luclc are faces grown WflnKle leu ana on,
WrinlSled by passion and pride,
So faded with struggles for power and place
That no art can the ravagcs hide.
And many sorrowful face,
And many n fair one sec,
And beautiful children like spirits light
Are romping in innocent glee;
And some are with jealousy pale,
Standing in silence apart,
With hands nercely claspod, as to shut out tn
pain
From n tortured and suffering heart.
But wind blows out of the north,
And cold is its whitening breath,
And II sends chill to the quivering heart
Like the merciless hand OF death.
In a moment my vision is gone
On the wind 1t has vanished away,
But family these words reach my listening ear
Lore only cndncs for day."
| Then away to my chamber haste
Back to the old weary life,-
| Back to my sorrowful thoughts of tho past,
| That are keen as the thrust Off knife.
| And ever there rings like a linell
| Through my heart all the long gloomy day,
| The echoing sound OF those wild mocking word
| "L0re only endureS for a day."
