Laboring Homestead and Cooperation
Association.

In times like these, of great disaster and
universal calamity, it behooves all in.
volved, and that means every resident in
our State, to bethink himself of some
means of protection and assistance. The
association, whose name heads this article,
offers to the labOring man, the mechanic,
the clerk. and the capitalist and property
owner, the means of mutual aid and benefit.
The affairs of the corporation are in the
hands of men of known worth and integ-
rlty, and the objects of the organization
appeal at once to mans self-interest and
his inclination to be Of service to his fellow
man.
The association is is now in active opera
tien; their transactions are of the most lib
eral nature. For the purchase and sale of
lands, the management offers the best in
ducements; Offering to purchasers long
credit and favorable terms, and assuring
vendors of certainty of payment.
Another important and economical move
ment, which it is the intention of the asso-
citation to inauguratea at an early day, is the
system of cooperative stores, concerning
which their circular has an array of facts
and figures that appear incontrovertible.
Parties desiring information concerning
the plans and working Of the compaLy, are
invited to call at the Office of the company

"A Life on the Ocean Wave.o

During the last westward voyage of the
steamship Kenilworth. Of the Philadelphia
and Liverpool line, an incident occurred
which is worthy of record as illustrating
one of the phases of sailors life, and
showing how it depends sometimes on a
slender strand.
After the steamer had left the Mersey, a
dense fog set in and sharp lookout was
kept. While in the vicinity of the North
west Lightship, Captain Prowse heard the
sound OF mans voice crying for help, and
looking over the side of the ship, saw the
head of man in close proximity to the
steamer. The engines were stopped, life
buoy was Immediately thrown to the man,
the boatswain jumped overheard and Mr..
Bacon passed down the ships side, and in
less time than it required to write this para
graph, the man was passed on board and
rescued from death. He is now one of the
steamers crew. His story was that he had
shipped, at the last moment previous to the
sailing, on an American sailing vessel
bound to New Orleans, and had fallen over
board from the yard arm. He did not know
the name of the American ship.
The people ON the KenilwOrth heard the
sound of voices through the fog, and indi-
cations that boat had been lowered from
the sailing vessel to rescue the man, whose
name has probably been entered on the log
az lost overheard.
This event occurred on the fifth of Feb
ruary. By copying this paragraph, New
Orleans papers may relieve the mind of an
American shipmaster, as well as the friends
of the rescued sailor.-Nep York Nautical

Relief Committee Appointed.
At a meeting held in the sixth ward of
| the parish of Pointe Coupee, on the twenti-
eth of April, 1874, to provide means to re-
| lieve those suffering from the inundation
by the waters of the Mississippi, on motion
| of B. C. Cooley the following resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, A large number of our fellow
citizens are overtOwed, and IN consequence
have lost their homes, clothing, and the
means of earning living; therefore, be it
Resolred, That committee Of six be ap-
pointed to make such representations to the
proper quarters as will secure provisions
homes and the necessary clothing for those
thus afflicted.
ReS0lced, That the committee thus se-
lected and appointed be instructed to pro-
ceed to New Orleans and interview Gov
ernor Kellogg, and procure, if possible, the
needed supplies.
Resol iced, That the same committee take
charge of and distribute such donations as
may be made, either by the State of Louisi-
ana. the Levee Company, the United States
or any benevolent company or person, to
those who may actually need them.
Resolred, That the aid committee be
composed of the following named persons:
Eugene c. Cooley, Colonel George H.
Griffin, J. C. Patrick, William II. Hall,
Jules Labatut and Alfred A. Rankin; that
said committee be fully authorized to rep
resent the sixth ward of this parish in case
of any general distribution.
Resolred, That the Pointe Coupee Repub-
ican, New Orleans REPUBLICAN, Times,
Pcayune,, Bee, FArenir, and the Baton
Rouge Grand Era be requested to publish
the proceedings of this meeting.
Resoired, That in consequence of large
numbers of persons living along the Grand
Levee having had their houses completely
swept away and nothing saved, they being
in an entirely destitute condition, without
home, food or clothing, and being cut off
from all communication with the other
parts of the parish, it is essentially neces-
sary that immediate relief be afforded to
prevent starvation, hence all supplies des.
tined for this ward should be forwarded di.
rect to this committee.

VERDICTS,
Lake and River,

Lake Pontchartrain, in consequence OF
wind from an unfavorable point yesterday,
went up to height bat few inches below
filing both navigation canals uncomfort-
ably fall. Indeed, water was running over
the Canal Carondelet banks, preventing the
draining machine operating. Now is the
time for our city to come back at the lessees,
paying in kind. The company once charged
the city enormous sums for draining our
surplus water into the canal; now Mayor
Wilt can bring in bill, and with as much
deceDcy as did the canal corporation. How
ever, it is not likely he would meet with
better success than did the lessees when
before the Supreme Court.
There are indications that the rear por-
tiOns First, Second and Third Districts will
be overtlowed unless the lake falls speedily.
The heavy rain yesterday morning was un-
propitious.
The river remains one foot below high
water mark of 1871, and the levees in front
of our city are all serene.
The Bonnet Carre crevasse will probably
continue master of the situation until the
Mississippi comes down several pegs.
The Hickey crevasse, West Baton Rouge,
has flooded the entire parish, and it is a
quarter of a mile wide. Bayou Plaquemine
takes off some Of the food, but not sufficient
to do any good. Mr.. Hickey's dwelling
house is entirely ruined.
More than 800 men are at work On the
McCullen crevasse, with prospect that the
flood will be stayed in less than two weeks.
Orange trees and young cane are ruined
by water in the vicinity Of Pattersonville,
and nearly all the planters have discharged
their hands. The future is nc. promising
for anything in that section.
Brashear is now partly overfowed. The
water in that section is now uncommonly
high, caused, it is believed, by the Hickey
and other crevasses. 1t is possible that the
Morgan railroad trains will be interrupted,
but as yet the track is all right.

NEW YORK.


NEW YORK, April PA Herald special
from London, dated the twenty third, says
only one opinion prevails in moneyed
classes. namely, that Presiden Grants veto
of the finance bill will act beneficially on
American credit. Any other course would
have been fatal. The Herald correspondent
has seen nearly all the PROMINENT bankers,
bullion dealers. brokers and largest in
vestOrs, and they unanimously applaud the
Presidents action. Many persons felt con.
fident that Grant would show pluck.
Imitation is generally considered viola
ton of principle. It would indefinitely
postpone resumption of specie payment,
act injuriously on the present investments.
and lead to q total cessation of further pur-
chases of American securities on the
European account. A response to the veto
will soon be manifest in the increased in.
vestment.
The Heralds correspondent at Paris re-
ports that the veto message is extremely
we'll received by the French financiers.
bankers and merchants. They are all Of
the opinion that it is the best thing done
since the capture of Richmond. The capi-
talists there dreaded an increase of paper
money. Now confidence is restored and q
speedy return to specie payment is ex-
pected.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Senate
passed bill amendatory of the act to pro-

sued in Southern States prior to July l,

feet by reason of the failure to impose

bill for the relief of James Atkins, late col

After the expiration of the morning hour,
the Senate resumed the consideration Of
the Louisiana bill, and Mr.. Merrimon, of
North Carolina, concluded his argument,
commenced yesterday. He denied that
the Republican party lost any votes by the
failure of the colored people in Louisiana
to vote, as people of that race never de-
clined to vote, and would go any distance
to do so, be it long or short He said the
Republican party had accomplished its
work, and was now on the decline. He
would not say what party would succeed
it; but the day Of that party was over.
