wARM0TH AND THE LEvEEs

There is an old proverb that one has to
go abroad for news. Some of the New
Orleans papers have taken this in literal
sense, and gone up to Donaldsonville for
report Of the speech of Governor War
moth on the levee question. The editor
of the Ascension Lender invented a very
foolish production, which he palmed off
as the speech of the Governor, and the
city papers have copied it. This is done,
too, Notwithstanding the gist of what the
Governor really said was published in the
REPUBLICAN in two or three different
issues, in one form or another.
This alleged speech is purely an emana-
ton from the brain of the Leader man,
and was of course never made by the
Governor at ALL
If the reader will refer to our paper of
the proper date, he will perceive that the
Governor said be had done everything in
his power to make the Levee Company
fulfill its contract, but that it had failed,
and the prospect was that it would be IN
able to protect the planters from an over
flow in case of a considerable rise in the
river. And that, while necessity required
the planters to rely on their own exertions
for safety, he saw no way to reimburse
them Immediately for money advanced to
build the protection levees unless he
could collect the two mill tax, under the
levee contract. He said he did not want
to do this, unless he could be assured that
the money, when collected, would not be
diverted from the purpose for which it
was raised. He hoped to get control of
the levees in. the interest of the State, and,
if successful, he would either get capital
lists to take hold Of it, and carry it out or
put it in liquidation and close it up, as
might seem to be best under the circum-
stances.
The Governor has now in his possession
fifty-nine thousand nine hundred shares
of the one hundred thousand of stock,
and is in negotiation with capitalists and
trying to ascertain whether the company
may not be vitalized, and the work pro-
coded with in accordance with law. He
is determined to put the company in iqui-
dation and close it up altogether, if he
fails to make eligible arrangements for
the discharge of the obligations it has
undertaken. The city papers which have
been SO ready to copy from the Ascension
Leader will please take notice of these
facts, and disabuse the minds of their
readers as soon as convenient.

the presidential contest of 1868. Louis
lana was prevented from casting her vote.
A reign of terror pervaded the whole
State, and blood flowed freely in this
city-the consequence of partisan vio-
lence. The same state Of things existed
elsewhere, and prevented men from exer-
cising the right of suffrage. TWAS found
to be useless to depend ON local authority
to remedy this sad state of affairs, to
arrest and bring to justice the bands of
political desreradoes who conspired to
prevent Republicans from voting. Where
the authorities were disposed to do it,
they had not the power; and where
they had the power, in many in
stances, they were not disposed to do
their duty. This condition of So
ciety rendered the administration of
justice very uncertain in States thus stu
ated. The Judiciary could not be re-
lied on to enforce justice, and there was
no freedom of elections. Therefore, it
became necessary to pass laws that author
ize the federal government to give protec-
ton to its citizens where State govern
ments are unable or unwilling to do it.
If the local governments do their duty,
the laws that have been passed extending
the chances for equal justice to all men,
irrespective of party, win not be called
into action, but where the local authori-
