brief Communications P,sblished-LOng
Ones harGriably Rejscted-I1e Editor not
Responsible for the Sentiments Expressed
IL, the COMMUNICATIONS
The Levee Tax.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
noticed recently in one of your contem-
poraries a statement from our Auditor be-
traying a very biased animus against the
rural interest of the State, and particularly
so with regard to the alluvial parishes.
Mr.. Graham, in the article referred to,
represents the city of New Orleans as bear
ing fve-eighths of the entire State tax; and,
consequently according to his novel rule of
sequence), he deems it an outrage that that
city should be made to bear her share of the
levee tax. He furthermore asserts that this
tax should be borne exclusively by those
portions of the State subject to overflow. If
you will look at the table of taxable prop
erty you will find that the alluvial parishes
are about the wealthiest, and, consequently,
contribute the most to the State funds.
Not to be lengthy, it is easily seen that if
the wealth of the alluvial portions of the
State should be destroyed by neglect of the
levee system the taxes would be increased
in the hill parishes to an insuppOrtable de-
gree.
Then for New Orleans. What right has
she to shirk this levee tax What would
become of her if the levees were neglected
and she inundated every year, What
would be her prosperity if the rural interest
were to languish Does she in her AFRO
gance demand that the country should pro-
tect her and pay tribute to her tOO3
A few figures, hope, will not make this
paper too long for your peoples column"
They are taken from reliable document,
and, 1 believe, are correct: Total assess
ment for 1860 $47O, 164, 1868; of this the cOun-
try bore $344, $50, 658 and the city Sl25, 1884,
3O5. The total for 1871 is $3.50, 594, Az; for
the country S92, ,O52 and the city $751;
2l4,365. Here, then, we have a loss by the
war of the entire State of $2l9, $40, 564, of
which the country bears 1882. 500, 606-
more than the loss of the whole State.
Why Because New Orleans gained $780,
$50, 060 Now, after New Orleans has
gained by war which was so exhausting
to the country this sordid city man is using
his ill-timed representations, from high
and influential position, to saddle the entire
levee work on the riparian parishes alone.
Can any one wonder that planters are
looking with languishing eyes toward St.
Louis. RIPARIAN.

SOUTHERN METHODIST CAMP MEET.
ING,
Increase in Number of visitors.

Increase in Number of Visitors.
Tuesday opened bright and breezy, and
the camp grounds assumed a more lively
look Pastors and the numerous visitors
having broken the ice of formalities, grew
more free in intercourse, and consequently
more freedom and ease of manner became
apparent.
People from the interior, arriving by sail,
rail, and all sorts of wheeled vehicles,
mingled together, all cOnversing on single
topic-religion. Even crops were scarcely
discussed.
Among the pastors are some eloquent
men, whose powers of persuasion are bring
ing many penitents to q sense of life. Every
evening the anxious seat is crowded by
mourners, who find the way they long have
sought and mourned because they found it
not. A revival seems to have commenced,
and before the meeting closes the number
of Methodists will be greatly increased.
Rev. Mr.. Matthews, Tuesday evening,
made powerful appeal to the ungOdly to
mend their ways. He began his discourse
by taking Paul's Letter to the Ephesians,
iii, l6. This is favorite text with this de-
nomination, and out of it is built one of its
pillars. Also Romans, xvi, II.
Service is held three cor four times each
day, and, as there are plenty of pastors
present, discourses are new on every Occa-
sion. Did these men possess no other
talent, their earnest perseverance should
commend their works. They have made
such marked progress in the cause that they
are encouraged to extend their lines for the
coming year, at which time many necessary
improvements will be made in and around
the grounds. The executive committee has
many things to learn, and some to unlearn.
They can readily understand what is
meant. Unless they give publicity to their
enterprise, poor audiences will be the re-
suit. 1t is true that members of the
church in New Orleans did not know of
this camp meeting until they read the news
in the REPUBLICAN.
Mr.. j. H. Keller, one of the self-Tade
men of New Orleans, should have nearly all
the credit for the success so far made, as he
has been unceasing in his labOrs, with head,
hands and pockets. The camp-ground will
prove grand monument to his memory
long after be has uttered his last prayer,
for it must be remembered that this place
is a permanent institution. Year after year
this religious sect will meet there, not only
TO worship God, but to induce others to
enter into the circle. Mr. w. S. Mount and
his brother have labOred well to assist in
the building up Of this outdoor temple.
Nothing has occurred to mar the meet
ing, and thus far no improper characters
have visited the grounds, and are not likely
to-, as police regulations are in efficient
hands.

Organization of the Fifth District and
Fifteenth Ward.
An enthusiastic meeting of the supporters
of the Cincinnati movement was held last
night at the courthouse in Algiers for the
purpose of entering into permanent organi-
zatiOn of another district Greeley and
Brown campaign club.
Judge c.. L. Sweet, an old and respected
resident of the parish, was elected presi-
dent, and Mr.. 7. NJ. Field to the post of re-
oording secretary, by ballot; and, on mo-
ton, the election of the other officers was
postponed until the next meeting.
constitution and bylaws were adopted.
The remarks of Judge Sloanaker were
heard with deep attention. He spoke
in that style wherein one is said to talk
like father" and during the course of his
remarks he conveyed the entire assemblage
along with him. The speaker advocated
the generous view of the war question, say
ing it is impossible to bring us all together
unless it is on the platform of union and
amnesty, which Greeley had favored and
fought to attain. The doors of our club
are open to everybody, no exclusiveness
prevailing. All who are citizens had a right
to membership. An acknowledgment of the
things the war had accomplished was absO.
lutely necessary.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the president, on Saturday after
next.
