THE MISSION OF THE STATE ENGINEERS.

AAA5 HAANSASN VI 4Ao o4 al - LIN N4N
Generals N. JEFF Thompson and James
Longstreet, State engineers, will leave
for Washington this evening under Or
ders. Their mission, as we understand
it, will be to make such representations to
the government as will secure, if possible
national aid in the construction of our
levees. Or perhaps it is more correct to
say, take entire charge and control of the
whole business. They will carry with
them the earnest wishes of every citizen
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
doubtless Tennessee for their complete
success.
We learn that there is large mum Der
of members Of Congress who are decidedly
in favor of having the national govern
ment take entire charge of the whole levee
question-to erect, repair and maintain
a vigilant watch over them, but they
doubt the constitutional right of the
United States to establish the necessary
police regulations within the jurisdiction
of any Of the States
We hope if such an objection is urged
in the presence of our engineers that they
will reply in this wise: Louisiana will
be perfectly satisfied, and ask for nothing
more than that Congress shall annex to
any proposition to assist us in this matter
that before any State shall receive any
benefit from the proposed appropriation,
OK have any levees built or repaired by

An OMISSION.

It is to be regretted that Colonel John
McEnery, whose recent return from
Washington is now announced, did not
avail himself Of the advantages his long
residence at the capital afforded him, to
learn something more definite about the
Fort St. Philip canal and its chances of
success. We are aware that his attention
was mainly occupied in matter Of more
absorbing interest TO his immediate politi-
cal friends; but at the same time he might
have been of some assistance to Professor
Forshey, and General Hebert, in promot-
ing a work which would be worth much
more to this State than anything that can
be conferred upon it through political
successes.

AN ALLEGED REPUTATION SOCIETY,

A reporter Of the Times has been for
the past week or two wrestling with a
profound secret, which no one else knows
anything about
The recently organized society, whose
purpose il is to take firm stand against
The payment of the illegal debt Of the
State, is progressing toward fourishing
prosperity and numerical strength. Al.
ready upward Of 5000 names are enrolled
upon its membership list, and these mem
bers are, to q man, owners and holders of
real estate.
Periodical meetings are being held. but
at present each member is pledged to Sc
crecy touching the deliberations of the go
ciety. 1t is, however, the intention of the
society to have public parade as soon as
5000 men shall pledge themselves to such .
demonstration. At this time, it is said,
about $500 have made such pledge. and it
is likely the residue will come forward
within few days aS&
This society may be set down as one Of
the wonders Of the age or the humbug Of
the Tines, with decided preference for
