The River and the Leyee.

There is but little change to make on ou1
| report OF yesterday, bu. that little is 10!
| encouraging By any means.
Word was sent from Kenner Yesterday
| noon that the river was two and a halt
inches above high water mark and rising.
The levee had been patched to euch de.
gree tha: it looked like new.
All along our city front the state OF
affairs is not mending, and the report is
that further rice has taken place. Ger.
tainly the food has not abated, nor has the
danger. Water is seeping through at NJ
dreds OF points, and in some places is run.
nfng over IN sufficient quantities 10 alarm
the beldest.
In the neighborhood of the French Mar.
ket things look better, as laboTers have
performed much good service, and the Mo-
bile railroad construction trains have
brough. in considerable sand and gravel,
which is placed where it will do the most
good. From that point to the Barracks
there are but few places considered as liable
to ccevasse.
At the Levee Company's Office yesterday
there were but few interesting items. Ap-
plication having been made for an engineer
20 examine the Bellechasse crevasse, the
Levee Company sent NJ. W. Dasten there,
and he reports by telegraph as follows:
APRIL ia, 1874
Presiden. Levee Company:
Found work on both sides commenced.
Old levee that Tapped new one is gone. max
ing it 80 much harder to stop Water now
IN the break is from fifteen TO twenty feet
deep. WIZ have to 90 behind TO make a
pen probably 500 teet long, and will have
to commence new work behind the pres
ent one. Crevasse can be stopped, but will
cost $4,000 and seven to ten days
Provisions have been sent to the destitute
people at the Atchafalaya overflow; also
implements for laborers.
Reports from Ibervlle are somewhat en-
though the danger is not over by
any means in that locality.
From points down the river very little |
1ews Can be obtained but it is understood |
hat the condition is not favorable. Much |
and is overfowed, and next to no efforts are
,eing made 20 stop the creyasses.

tar 1t may be confidently asserted that the
spring meeting is success. It is true we
have had no very remarkable running. the
time made being rather below the average.
Much allowance must be made for that On
| account Of the miserable weather that has
| prevailed during the pas. month and which
seriously interrupted training. The grea.
| improvements made IL draining and grad
ing The track are each more noticeable and
the cause Of much comment and uns:irted
| praise. The improvements and changes
N the grand stand also nee. with general
| appreciation. We would suggest, however.
that. if il no way interfering with club
| rules, change in the location Of the re-
porters stand nigh. materially enable
them TO fellow The position of the horses
| more closely. AS j. is row placed .be
| judges stand shuts on. a considerable por-
| ton of the course from .he quarter 20 the
half mile post.
After the liberal expenditure by the club
| in the recent changes, repairs and improve.
| ment, Il may seem a little unreasonable 10
make further demands. and We merely
make the suggestion with view 70 future
meetings.
The sport today promises TO be equally
as good as -ha. OF the las. two days. There
will be three races, the first mile dash.
three year olds 10 carry their proper weights,
the second a race at mile heats for all ages,
and the third a three mile dash between
Silent Friend and Bessie Lee. For the first
race there are seven entries, and 10 show
how they rate we give the following pool
sold last evening: Quits, $lO0; Falmouth,
$50; John Mcdonald, SO; Lewis entries,
$25: !. O. L., Sl7, aud Chris. Doyle, sl3.
In the second race there are six horses
entered. The sale of pools showed Lotta
Moore choice at $3l0, Ortolan $50, Quar-.
termas.er $780, Mary L. $50, Edwin Adams
$jl, and Falmouth $4S. As far as the three
mile race is concerned. it provokes no ex.
citement, and but little comment of COM
plimentary character. That but two horses
could be found to contest three mile dash
out of SO large a number of fine horses row
stabbed here, is certainly matter of sur
prise and regret. OF course the owners
needn't run their horses if they don't wish
to, but. somehow or other, the impression
had obtained and gone abroad that these
horses had been brough. here to run in the
race. The contest between Bessie Lee and
Silent Friend, although looked upon as a
sure thing for the Friend, viii still be |
pretty race, but the interest in the race
would be much increased by larger field,

Governor X keIloag,. Reply to the Picaxune.

governor heI0Rg7s hepiy TO the Picayune
In reply to the Picayuose's charges tha,
the levee funds had been diverted by the
State authorities, Governor kellogg has ad
dressed the following conclusive refutation
STATE OF LOUISIANA }
Executive Department, :
New Orleans April IA, 1874. )
An editoria! published in the Picayus,e on
Sunday last. headed 1.-The Levees and the
Levee Company conveys an intimation
that funds due the Levee Company from
the State have been improperly diverted,
and that the operations of the company
have been in some way hampered by in.
functions placed upon State bonds due them.
government and to the Attorney General
for information whether these implied
charges were founded on fact.
From tie replies received am enabled TO
state that the receipts during the year 1877 ,
OF taxes levied Tor levee purposes amounted
to S437 200 O., and the disbursements duripp
that period to Levee Company TO S4OO. 600:
for the year 1873 the receipts were
$536,S75 63, and the payments made to the
company were $549, 200.
Added to this the State has quite recent
~ paid to the Levee Company $4,000 in
advance of collections, in order to assist
them IN the present emergency.
1t will thus be seen that the allegation
that the funds collected from taxes for
levee purposes have been diverted is en-
tirely unfounded. As to The other accusa-
ton relative TO the injunction of State
bonds, l am not aware Of any bonds
emitted by the State to the company since
its organization, nor that they are entitled
TO the Issuance Of any bonds, and can not
understand how the Levee Company should
ha n Nv
against bonds issued for interests foreign
to The companys..
Very respectfully.

4 distinguished American lterateur, in pub
lishcd interview. Was recently reported As speak.
ing with l. yigQr Of rhetoric ne m1y bo excused
from repeating, Of Mr. A. c. Swlnburne. The
interview died quietly on this side Of the ALLAH
tic, but met fatal Immortality beyond seas by
falling under the eye OF the author of y. Chastel-
ard.' In = letter to d personal FREUD, who has
had the indiscretlon to send copy to the 1rid-
tine, with request for publication, the poet
thus deluGes his critic with the unolean Yinls OF
his wrath:
"Ian informed that cortain American jour
nalats, not content with providing filth OF their
own for the consumption of their kind, Eomo-
times offer to their readers q dsh OF beastInesa
which they profess to have gathered from under
the chairs Of more distinguished men. While
the .buse lavished on my name and writings
could claim no higher than Dameless source,
layo al yaya been able to say with Shelley, ~
have mother curiosity, interest, pain, nor pleas
ure i'll anything, good or evil, they can say Of me.
I feel only slight disgust, and sort OF won
der that they presume to writo my
name." If I am to belioVei that that nnne has
been made the mark for such vile language as is
now publicly attributed to men Of note in the
world OF letters, I, who am not sufficiently an
expert in the dialect OF the cess-pool mud the
duiIg-cart to retort in their own kind on these
venerable gentlemen,-I,w whose ears and lips are
alike unused to the amenities OF . conyernatlon
embroidered with such fragments OF hoWery
rhetoric as may be fshed up by oopgenial
fingers Or Tapped up BY congen1al tongues
out OF tho sewerage Of sodom,-can return
no better or moro apt reply than was addressed
by the servant OF Octayla to the satellites OF
Nero and applied by Lord Denman, when couR-
sci for Queen Caroline, to the sycophants OF
George ". 4 foul mouth is 50 ill-matched with
white beard that would gladly believe tho
newspaper scribcs alone responsible for tho
be8tal utterances which they declare to have
dropped from teacher whom such diecip plos rs
these exhibit, to our disgust and compassion, ~
