LOUISIANA is certainly afflicted with
evils only comparable to the plaques Of
Egypt. First the war, next reconstruc-
ton, then the era Of carpet-baggers, and
now, as if to complete her obstruction,
an immense area of her territory is over
flown, the people driven from their
homes, their property destroyed, and
nothing but starvation staring them in
the face. Unhappy people! What little
the carpet-baggers had left, and Heaven
knows it was little enough, has been
swept away by the overwhelming floods.
II the State ever RECEIVERS from the effects
Of all these deadly blows, it must have
an abundance of latent vitality. II it can
stand Warmoth and Carter, Casey and
Kellogg, with Packard thrown in, and
then vast inundation, there is nothing
under heaven it need fear.
