The Kemp Levee Stauuch.

g.
Tensas Parish, La. April "a. 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
see in your issue of the nineteenth an
article taken from the Brashear Nc,cs, I'M
der the caption of "Our Levee Company,
which. if unnoticed, might be taken and &C
cepted as truth. refer more particularly
to the second paragraph of the article
The article, or that part of it, reads as fol
lows:
Two or three weeks ago, for instance
there was a beautiful embankment in Ten
sas parish, known as the Kemp levee. II
was an imposing structure. When. it was
completed Professor FOrshey, then the CHIEF
engineer of the Levee Company, got on top
OF it and made speech. He said there
never was and never would be such q levee;
it was an everlasting monument to the lib.
erality and fidelity of the corporation un.
der whose auspices it had been built. The
planters felt edited and cheered the learned
gentleman loudly. They went to work, in
vested money, put their fields in order, and
in short, risked everything they had upon
the strength of that levee. And then, when
the river rose the levee melted away like
some vision of the night, and was discov-
cred to be q cheat, fraud and an imposi-
ton.
have been living here since the fall of
1865, and have seen four Kemp levees built;
and being but very few hundred yards
from this levee, have been constant OBJ
server of their build from beginning to end.
think it due to the levee company, as we'll
as to truth, to say that the Kemp levee still
stands the same monument it ever did to
the ''iberality and fidelity of the corpora
ton under whose auspices it had been
built" and is not cheat and fraud or i'm.
position.
The article that appeared in the North
Louisiana Journal, which has been the
main cause of so much Kemp levee scan
dial, must have been written in the heat of
passion, or strong drink, for it was state
ment far from II state facts
This levee will stand two and half feet
more water against it in its lowest place
without the least danger of ipjuring those
that cheered at its completion; and the
speech that Professor Forshey [never]
made.
/ am not the champion of the Levee Com
pany or its officers, but believe in giving
1.-THE devil his DUE" and for this have
thought advisable to correct misstatements.
Respectfully,
E. L. WHITNEY.

next to impossible for dog fight to take
place without men quarreling or fighting
over 1T. Last evening two dogs, rivals Of

very affectiOnate in their embraces at the

not quarrel, but let the animals fight until
a decision was rendered. One was whipped

:, The following decision was rendered on
the seventeenth instant:
No. 289 Morgan vs.. United States.-Ap.
peal from the Circuit Court for the district
OF Louisiana. This was . proceeding in
confiscatiOn under the act Of 1862, tor the
condemnation of land belonging to one
AOcquo. The appellant claimed as inter-
yenor under mortgage previously made.
The cause was treated in the District Court
like ? proceeding in admiralty, and was
heard by the judge, without q jury. The
decree was for the United States, and the
appellant taking the case to the Circuit
Court, it was there dismissed, because the
transcript and record of the proceedings in
the case did not disclose the judgment and
decree OF the court complained Of and
sought to be reversed by appeal, to have
been decree or judgment in an equity or
admiralty proceeding, but to have been q
judgment At common law. 1t is here con-
tended that the District Court had no juris-
diction, and that if it had then the dismls-
sal of the appeal by the Circuit Court was
erroneous.
