At large and respectable meeting held

Of the meeting on the subject of the levees
and the management Of the same by the
levee company of this State.
The committee introduced the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, The recent losses of life and
property from the numerous crevasses on
the right bank of the Mississippi River,
brought about to a great extent by the
neglect of the Board of Levee Commission
ers, have destroyed all confidence in the de-
sire as well as ability of said company to
fulfill its obligations toward the public
and
Whereas, The so-called Legislature of this
State did for d small reduction of the tax
imposed on the people for the support of said
company, exonerate them from all response
bility and liability for their failure to do
the work which they had obligated them
selves to perform; and
Whereas, All the measures hitherto
adopted for building and maintaining the
levees on the Mississippi River and its trib-
utaries have not only proved deficient but
disastrous to those dependent upon them for
protection therefore
Be it Resolred, That the Attorney General
of this State be requested to take early
action with a view to the forfeiture of the
fully satisfied that we are not likely to get
any value for the amount of taxes collected
and that our section of country will be
subjected to overflow at the recurrence of
each season of high water.
Resolred, That the levees of the MISSISSIPPI
ri River, as also those of it's tributaries, are
of sufficient Importance in commercial and
agricultural point of view, to warrant the
direct and speedy action of the United
States Government in their behalf and that
unless it come to our relief, the cultivation
be abandoned or its inhabitants subjected to
inundation whenever there is great rise in
the upper rivers.
Resolrcd, That copy of these resolutions
be forwarded to our representative in Con-
gress to Attorney General Field, and to the
New Orleans BULLETIN and Pioneer of AS
sumption.
On motion the above resolutions were
read and adopted.

This paragraph is from the Meridian Mer
cury:
A youthful couple ran away from Chun.
returned on the train yesterday. They came
extremely scant of baggage, and the suppo-
sition is, without money or scrip, for the
reason that night before last they camped
in the new depot building of the V. g. NJ.
Railroad, and slept, if they slept at all, upon
the bare floor. Some Of the railroad men
express great regret that they could not
have known in time of their impecuneous
condition, SO as to have prepared a more
luxurious lodging for them on their first
wedding night. The groom is a mere lad,
but barely beginning to cut his moustaches,
and the bride cutting her-eye teeth. They
went west yesterday morning, and we wish
them prosperity.

DECISION OF THE POPE.

THE ST. LOUIS GLOBE Of tho 10th
i ult., makes the following impor-
tant announcement:
Roman Catholic farmers DESTROYS Of
joining the order Of the patrons Of
husbandry, have hitherto had in their
way the laws of their church, forbid
ding it's members to identify them
selves with secret societies, OF 0nr
American prelates we believe that
Archbishop Alemanry, of San Fran
cisch, has held that the Catholic far
mer. will do we'll to ere on the side Of
safety, and SO not join the grange I'M
til the Pope has expressed his approx
al of its objects, while other Bishops
have forbidden. members of their docks
from becoming patrons upon any con-
sideration.
The matter has been finally ~adjuii-
Gated on by Pions TX, as appears by
the Norisk Volkeblad, the Scandinari-
an organ of Minnesota.
| A Catholic member Of the State Leg
islatnre was desirous Of joining tho
grange, hut had conscientious sciuples
about doing SO, arising from his reli
gious belief.
He consulted Father Ireland, of St.
Paul, who referred him to Bishop
Grace. Both. these clergymen ex-
pressed themselves as possessing ia
vorablc impression of the principles,
objects and methods Of the.grange, bnt
neither of them conld break though tho
absolute rule Of the church., and they
recon mended the legislator to appeal
to Rome. q
| lie accordingly laid the matter be-
fare the Pope, to whom he transmitted
at the same time full particulars as to
the objects contemplated by the order,
and the means 10y which it was pro-
posed to attain them.
A reply has been received from Ills
Holiness, stating that the Popo allows
the petition to join the Grange of
Patrons Of Husbandry, aud he a mem
Der thereof, if he find nothing there in
conflict with his conscience, or tho
creed of the Catholic Church.
As congregation, the order has
received large accession in Minneso-
tn, and when the news of the Pope's
decision has reached other States, it's
effects will be largely to increase the
numbers Of the patrons, and to remove
the interdict laid upon Catholics de-
sirious CT becoming such, by prelates,
who have disapproved Of the Grange,
and been doubtful as the consistency
of its obligations with those of the
Church.
