THE DANUBE JETTIEs GONE UP.

The Bee rendered the service of extract
ing and publishing from foreign tongues
the following from the Memorial D.pIo-
natiqu of June 20, 1874:
The European commission of the Danube
occupies itself at present, as 1t would ap-
pear. with new canal for the vessels pass
ing from the Danube into the Black sea.
the mouth of this river presenting lnsur-
mountable obstacles to navigation because
Of shifting sands. 1t ia believed that the
canal of St. George. which will pass near
the Sulina canal, will be chosen TOR that
purpose.
We can merely infer from this para
graph that there is some difficulty and
disappointment in the jettyage OF this
outlet, and that a commission has pro-
nounced in favor of a ship canal in place
of the jetties. It should be recorded in
the romance of engineering that one en-
gineer who had never seen the mouth of
the Mississippi, should have convinced
another who had never seen the mouth of
the Danube that work adopted for the
one of these rivers should be exactly
applicable to the other. It is to be sup
posed that something more definite than
the paragraph quoted will be known by
the advocates of the Fort st. Philip canal
before the commission of survey shall
have completed its prospective examina-
ton. In the meantime let the jettyites
inform us what is the matter with the mouth
of the little Danube? Won't the little wing
dams hold water? Have the concrete
walls tumbled in and DISTRACTED the chan
mel, or has the mud accumulated to re-
place the bar which the wingdams had
removed from the inside to the outside of
the wingdams? Let us hear the facts.

The White League proposes to exclude
the colored people from all employments,
and to run the business of the country
on white account exclusively. We have
cited the Cotton Exc hange for the proof
that the colored laborers throughout the
cotton States are orderly and industrious.
There is no complaint Of the amount OF
quality Of the labor, and the crop is far
better than average. 1t is apparent, then,
that the producers of cotton and sugar
are by no means prepared to dispense
with the labor of colored people, and
still less to take upon themselves the
toll and exposure of cultivating these
important staples. As the Attakapas
Register says:
1t can not be that these white citizens
| propose taking the pillow and hoe and cult.
waiting the lands, for as general rule the
white man won't work, and particularly in
| the cane field.
Yet such is the salary famine among US
that for the sake of holding the Offices Of
the State they would cheerfully sacrifice
its crops. 1t is an agreeable duty always
to bring mischievous fallacy to the test
OF indisputable facts. It was, therefore,
that we exploded the excuse for White
League by showing the order and industry
Of the colored laborers. Since in the pur-
suit of Office with shotguns it is proposed
to exclude all colored people from employ
ment, it occurred to US to examine the
social effects which this war on the wash
erwomen would cost our people We have
used this term 6guratively since the men
engaged in the pursuit of Office with shot
guns could usually dispense with the wash
erwomen without much detriment to their
personal ast hetics. But to the ladies Of
Louisiana whose Jealous friends proposed
to put them over the wash tub and the
cook stove we have respectfully to
perform public duty, 1t is to point out
to them precisely what is proposed in
their name and behalf In Illuminating
on the conduct Of these canvassers with
the shotgun, who would dismiss much the
greater part of 81, 1888 agricultural labor
ers, we have turned to the same authority
to learn exactly what sacrifice these rabid
men propose to make on behalf of the
ladies of their families. It has opened
a subject very well worthy the deliberate
thought of the economist and of the
statesman. Itappears from the census of
1870 that the percentage Of domestic ser
wants is to the gross population, aged ten
years and over, in certain enumerated
States, as follows:

themselves bravely through the fight
Generals Sheldon and Sypher, who were
fortunate enough to obtain the floor on
the last day of the debate on the BILL
illustrated their position in speeches so
convincing that the opposition was COM
pletely dispersed, and the great contest
closed in the popular branch of Congress
with victory for Louisiana by sixty-three
majority. Representatives who particl-
pated in that hot battle and bore them
selves SO calamity as ours did, will find
friends in every parish, village and, we
may say, household in the State. For we
deem it forgone conclusion that the
great work will yet be ordered by Con-
gress, and that, too, at an early day after
the next meeting.

OUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

General Sheldon, George L. Smith and
c. B. Darrall, three of our members OF
Congress, have been in the city for two OF
three days, receiving the congratulations
of a grateful constituency. They per-
formed acceptable service during the last
session, and find their reward, in part, in
the cordial welcome extended to them by
men Of all political parties. 81
General Sheldon appeared before the
Chamber of Commerce at the meeting on
Monday night, and complied with re-
quest to address that very intelligent as
sembly. 1t is no fault of his, nor of any
of our faithful representatives, that he was
not able to report the same success in
this matter as he did some years
ago of his efforts to obtain the
enactment of favorable tariff on sugar.

ration of Senator Kellogg. 1t was posi-
lively asserted in 1870 that this regulation
Of the tariff proved to be the salvation of
nearly every sugar planter in the State and
saved their merchants and factors from IT.
retrievable disaster. 1t was received with
considerations of gratitude for time, but,
the feeling soon wore off and it would not
be difficult matter to-day to find people
in this State who have been saved from
total ruin by that act Of Congress, and yet
ignorant that either Governor Kellogg Or
General Sheldon ever had anything to do
with it. By others, however, their MEM
DRY is held in grateful remem brance. .12a
Under the circumstances which sur
rounded our delegation in Congress last
winter, we insist our little band of able
men did remarkably well. They encoun-
tered their numerous and powerful foes,
as Professor Forshey wen says, most gal
lantly in humorous skirmishes and in the

GREEDY.

10 read the sensation columns OF the
Fusion journals a stranger would suppose
that the most intelligent and wealthy
and, indeed, even the most numerous por-
ton of the people of Louisiana, have been
excluded from all participation whatever
in the Offices, patronage and perquisites
Of government 1t would appear as if
Louisiana was like Galilee under the de-
cree OF Caesar Augustus, and that the only
use or right Of any citizen of the State
was ''to be taxed each in his own city,"
What will the distant readers say when
we inform them that the opposition in
Louisiana now possesses number of Of
fees, value Of salaries, an extent of pat
ronage and an annual disbursement of
public money that equals, if it does not
exceed, the same items of patronage pos
sessed by the Republican majority in the
State? This is so, as we will proceed to
establish.
In the city of New Orleans, in which
the colored people were lately underlined
to assassinate the whites, the opposition
claims majority. At the last election,
in spite of the obstacles which they allege
were interposed by Republican officials,
they carried the city government, with
the exception of one Republican Admin
istrator, who succeeded by the division of
the opposition vote. Let US see, then,
what the government Of this city, in which
the opposition claims majority vote, is
worth in patronage and in disbursements.
In the budget published in these col
umns on the seventh of May, will be
found the figures which follow:

ladies Of LouisianA. Are they willing
to discharge-nay to drive into exile
these nurses, seamstresses, cooks, wash
erwomen and errand boys and girls?
If they are not, it will be we'll for
them to ask the heads Of their several
households how they propose to supply
the place of those domestics, and espe-
cially whether it is expected that the
ladies of their household should perform
those mental duties themselves. To make
it palmer, when the gentleman lights his
cigar to walk to his comfortable Office, is
his wife to roll up her sleeves for the
washtub? This is the momentous ques-
ton.

complaints of the Fusionists, that they
have been excluded from all Office and
salary, be astonished at this expose? Is it
deemed reasonable that because these
Fusionists have not absolutely all the
Offices and salaries in the gift Of the peo-
pie of Louisiana, that they should make
White League, to exclude or extermi-
nate all the colored people? What con-
tradiction is this indisputable statement
Of the extraordinary Misrepresentation
which have gone abroad, and are even
believed by the thoughtless at home.
Of course the charges of oppression
and exclusion which have gone abroad in
the French language can never be cor
rected. This, however, makes but little
difference. But we ask every American
if, when one party gets all these ex-
tremely fat Offices, and may grease its
fingers with the handling of nearly
$4,000 is it not little greedy to
demand every other Office in the State
Is it not in the last degree brazen to
