Action Of the Republican State Centrn
Committee.

We learn that the State Central Executive
Committee of the Republican party held a
meeting yesterday. There was quite full
attendance, and after considerable dis
cussion, which did not develop any opposi-
ton to the acceptance of tho agreement
contaminated by the conference commit
tees, but rather affected the probability Of
a compliance Herewith by the Conservative
people, the agreement was ratified with
only two votes against it. A very fair con-
dition was adopted By the committee, that
in case of vacancy, from death or any
other cause, Of one Of the Republican mem-
bers, the pledge should be exacted that a
Republican selected by the Republican
committee should be selected to fill the va
cancy, and it was understood the same
pledge should he given on behalf Of the
Conservative members.

be less than SO, 900 900 and when compet-
ed they will give the long needed water
route to the ocean and to an eastern mar
ket. The opening of this route will inevl-
taby be accompanied by the connection OF
the St. Lawrence river with Lake Cham
plain, and thus, during the whole season
of navigation, there will be continuous
water route of unlimited capacity from the
lake ports to the interior of New England
aud New York. 1t will reduce freights
from Chicago to the ocean market very
largely, will shorten the time of the water
route at least one week and the capacity
for transportation being unlimited, there
will be no complaint of inability to move
the productions Of the west The opening
of this practically new route to the ocean
and to the markets of the east and the
world will effect saving to the farmers of
the Mississippi Valley Of from to 10 cents
a bushel on freight charges for grain alone
The construction of the Caughnawaga ca
nal will encourage Canadian ship masters
to compete for the carrying trade on the
lakes and materially cheaper the cost of
transport to the Atlantic and to foreign
countries. The enlargement of the Wei
land canal, now in progress, with
the construction of the Caughnawa-
ga canal, and the proposed en-
largement of the Champlain Canal, will
enable vessels of 1000 tons to pass to
ports in Vermont aud to New Y ork city, or
out upon the ocean to the islands and to
foreign lands. And with the extension of
our State Canal from Hennepin to Rock
Island, the whole Valley of the Mississippi
will be brought into easy and cheap con
nection with the Lakes and the East form
ing an allwater route, free to all, and over
which combinations of railroad monopolies
can exercise no control
These views of Gen. Elliott are worthy

cry voter in this congressional district, If

farmers and peoples candidate for con
gress show that he has given this subject
his thoughtful consideration, and that lie

LOUISIANA ITEMS.

The St. Joseph Journal, of the 9th, reports:
On Monday night last the private levee pro-
tecting Mr.. J. NJ. Gillespe's Pamela planta-
ton from the waters Of Lake Bruen, was
cut by some malicious persons, and as a
consequence the Mount Ararat and Osceola
plantations were seriously damaged. Capt.
w. C. Niche, with the Pamela hands, sue
ceeded in stopping the break, but it broke
again on Wednesday night.
Five hundred horses and mules persisted
by the food in Tensas parish.
The Franklin Enterprise, of the 18th, says ::
The crops throughout the parish on the west
side of the bayou are looking well. The
heavy rains have been succeeded by weather
favorable to the cultivation of the cane, and
with fair season St. Mary may yet make a
fair crop, with sufficient seed to supply
those who have lost all by the high water.
The Donaldsonville chief of the 9th has
the following We learn from resident OF
Brule Sacramento that the waters from the
MOrganza and Hickey crevasses have COM
pletely submerged that portion of the
parish, and some thirty three families have
been driven from their homes and compelled
to camp on the nearest spot Of dry land
they could find. The inhabitants Of this
brule are very poor, scarcely making enough
any year to keep themselves in food and
clothes, and now their condition is pitiable
in the extreme.
