THE LByEE FRAUD.

We have never in any shape or degree
advocated reputation Of any honest debt
due by the State, but if what is stated to
us, with seeming authenticity, is proven
by the legislative investigation now Or
dered, we shall not hesitate to favor the
reputation of the contract under which
such outrageous robbery is perpetrated
upon the people, regardless of outcrys
against endangering public credit.
The Levee Company, we are assured,
subjects to contractors, at the rate of
twenty-sCVen and a half cents, on time,
what it receives sixty cents cash per
cubic yard for from the State.
This enormous and constantly growing
burden-an oppressive, crushing load,
which must continue to grow for years to
come if not summarily dealt with is in
the hands, not of Republicans, but of
those who are found appealing to Congress
and the President to overturn the Repub-
ican government of our State. Their re-
lation to the State is therefore q peculiarly
fit subject for investigation. Let this ex-
animation be made, and rigidly, too. We
desire naught but justice, but "les the
truth, and the whole truth" be. given the
tax payers Of Louisiana, upon whom q
draft Of millions upon millions is threat
ened by this giant monopoly.
