THEBAITInORE ANDOHIO ROAD

There has appeared to be among our
merchants and manufacturers Tor some
years past 3 disposition to look upon
the officers OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company as the natura! ene-
mics OF the trade OF Wheeling. Dis
trust upon one side begat Indifference
upon tie other. The Baltimore COM
PAW gave the cold shoulder to Wheeling
and our business men were not slow 10
complain OF the determinations that
were made against them in the tariff o.
freights. A large portion OF the trade
OF Wheeling merchants is naturally
confined 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and, while compelled to ship
their goods by this line, our citizens
have given vent 10 no small degree OF
grumbling at what they conceived to be
the unfriendlinesS and extortion of the
managers OF the road and they have been
ready by any means in their power, to
reteliate upon the railroad and hamper
il with whatever eXactiOns they might
legally iuterpose.
In this, as in nearly ali other quar-
rels, there has been mutual misun"
Outstanding and both parties have
been somewhat to blame. The railroad
authorities have failed TO recognize the
extent and importance OF the rapidly
growing trade OF Wheeling, and the
act that this city deserves 10 be treated
with more consideration than mere
first class station on the road they have
been slow to recognize. Upon the 9TH
er hand, no especial ettOr,
has been put forth by he
business men Of this city to bring
about better state Of AFFAIR.". When
prominent officers OF the road come
mere they are treated with coldnc-s, i
not with actual dIscourtesy. No effort
is made to break through the icire7s
which has grown during the past
twenty years, and an officer OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad ieels ahou'
as comfortable in Wheeling as a soldier
in hostile camp.
OF late, however, there has been
more iriendliuess manifested on hotn
sides, and we feel assured that with bet
ter mutual understanding OF the require
ments of Wheeling trade and of the
policy and interests o. the railroad
there will be greater benefits TO both
and to each greater good will.
One o! the determinations in the
way OF freight charges of which our
shippers have complained, has been
that the cost Of the transportation OF
groceries from Wheeling to points on
tue IOdu HOS oeeu stealeE IMAM lnat OF
the carriage of the same goods from
Cincinnati. Our wholesale grScers
have been charged 45 cents per hun,
dred on goods shipped to
Cumberland and points beyond
while the freight upon the same class
OF goods from Cincinnati to these
points was but % cents per hundred.
During the past week an arrangement
has been effected, through the personal
intercession of prominent firm in this
city, by which an important reduction
in Wheeling ireights has been made,

LOUISIANA ITEMS.

The Plaquemines Sentinel, Of the 4th inst,
contains he following items:
BREAK IN THE LEvEE--Tuesday evening
last. 3lst ult., break occurred in the st.
Sophie levee at the rice tlume in front Of G.
S. Claibornes farm. The neighbors imme-
diately rallied, and closed it i'll short times
but during the rain storm that night 1t AGAIN
broke, and threatened to be serious. The
ncighbors again rallied, and after several
hours labor succeeded in closing it in sub
stantial manner. The rice tiume is certain
ly either improperly made or insecurity
fastened IN the levee
CRorS.-The weather the past week has
been by far too rainy to be Dt any service to
anything but weeds and grass. 1t has him
dered considerably blowing and rice SOW
ing and in some places done serious dam
age to the Irish potatoe crop. There is
every indication, however, at the present
writing that the weather is settled and will
be more propitiOus The cane continues to-
look well and is growing rapidly.
LIE MEsCHACEBE, April 4.-(Translatcd:
In st. John the Baptist parish. hard WORK
was required last Tuesday and Wednesday
| TO stop break in the levee ut Roman Bur-
rere's plantation, Just below where the Gre
vase took place August, 1S44, December
1s49, April, 1859, and April, ISL. A new
levec is considered Indispensable below that
built there three years ago. This is good
opportunity for the Levee Company to fairly
earn the money that Taxpayers yearly pay
to it.
"A break of about four feet in the levee at
Jas. B. Humphreys plantation was closed
last Wednesday morning. thanks to the,
neighbors help.
1.-The levee at r. N. Eamondson's planta-
ton was repaired this week, but much fear
is felt for the stability of that at the Carroll
plantation, belonging to MIR. Bradish john
son.
Engineer jeff. Thompson lays down the
law to the planters, and says there are more,
than five hundred cuts or roads in the leyee
between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
The Levee Company has been in no haste to
| fulfill its obligations when its assistance is
| asked and every one knows that the re-
suOnsibilty it contracted toward the pro-
prietors of lands on the Mississippi are
purely nominal and entirely deceptive
ST. James Sentinel, April 1: "Too much
rain is the general cry of planters through
out the parish. The river is very high at
apprehension is felt that break in the
levee will occur somewhere in the parish in
few DAYS. If the water does not fall there
is every reason to suppose that such Will be
the case, as it is reported there are several
dangerous places on either side just above
and below here.
| Thibodaux Sentinel, April A: ''The rise
in the bayou continued up to our going to
press yesterday, being within three inches
of passing over the pier under the bridge,
and higher than it has ever been since the
crossing Of the crevasse on the Aubert
plantation in 1867, when the levees gave
way IN three points below III one night 1t
seems impossible for the levees to with
stand the pressure much longer, and there
is no hopes of a fall for several days.
Watch is kept night and day all along the
| BAYOU"

LATE CARS

Were we still living in the age Of mythol-
ogy and fable, we might cite Bacchus as the
tutelar and protecting god Of inebriates at
large; but as it is, we are at a loss to account
for the guardian saint who takes such sole
itous care of the besotted drunkards who
seem to make it a point to get into the mid
night cars on the various lines of our city
railroads, and there make matters lively and
pleasant for themselves and no one else, by
stepping promiscnously on toes, sitting on
others peoples laps, splitting, talking poll
tics, and finally winding up by dropping out
of the car at full length on the track. There
is something disgusting and sickenng in
these exhibitions of beastiality on the part
of men, and to see a full grown, tall and
well developed human being in a state Of
Semi-idocy, incapable of governing his move
ments, unconsciously, as it were, walk ont
Of car in full motion, and fall with a
heavy thud tc the ground, is sight at once
revolving and pitiful.

Overflow of the Ouachita.
Whole Parishes Under Water.

We learn from gentleman who has just
arrived fiom the Ouachita country, that the
river overlooked it's banks, and threatens the
lands from Harrisonburg down. As it now
is, huge volume of the Mississippi is pour
ing down the Tensas River leaving but lit
tie land uncovered, and in few avs every
plantation will be covered. The residents
of that section are already impoverished
from previous losses, and the destruction OF
this years crop, and the loss of their cattle
will he serious blow; indeed, starvation
confronts them unless the State will come
to their aid. They are forced to flee to the
high lands west for protection, where they
will have to remain until probably July.

We desire to call the attention Of the

BULLETIN is an ontspoken, Independent and
fearless paper. 1t knows nothing bnt the
best interests of the entire people, and is
determined at all hazards, to stand by the
welfare of the city and State. Ii will ex-
pose and denounce fraud wherever it is
discovered, and hold mp to public scorn men

believe that such paper is desired, and
in order to enable us TO carry out fully this

business men to lend us their aid by giving
us their advertisements. 1t only remains
with them to say whether or not our enter
prise will be permanent. Their aid will en-
courage and assist us, and we will strive to
merit by the excellence of our journal their
liberal and generous support.

THE MARKS KAISER FAREWELL CONCERT
| 1t is truly gratifying to see the manner in
which native talent is appreciated and re-
warded by the people of our city; and it
must be greatly encouraging to so young an
| artist as Mr.. Kaiser to receive such a sincere
GOd-speed as was rendered him last evening
by his many friends and admirers. The
young gentleman is about to leave us, en-
route for Europe, where it is his intention to
devote a year to the study of composition
and harmony
The programme for the occasion, replete
with choice selections, was carried through
with some slight modification, Mile. Leronx
kindly volunteering to replace Nine. Mer-
cier- Bier, whose indisposition deprived her
of the pleasure of lending her efficient
assistance to the evenings entertainments
| OF the various performances, it would be
| impossible for the most severe and impartial
critic not to speak in terms of praise. Mr..
Kaiser, whose playing was very naturally
the leading feature of the evening, distin-
guished himself as usual and handled the
bow with truly mastery hand.
| His rendering of the several selections
comprising Romance ct Bolero," by Dan
ella =; "Fantaisie sur La Mnette de Portici,',
'Fantalsie sur RigOletto" and "Faust" were
remarkably good. Especially noteworthy
was the duet Oh the piano by Messrs. c. F.
Frey and w. Grunewald. The solos by
Mile Leroux. Mile Romey and Mr.. Bremen
were effective, and each received their share
of well merited applause.
Thus passed ore of the pleasantest musi-
cal entertainments with which New Orleans
has been favored this season. Wishing con-
| timed success and new laurels to our tai
ented young friend, we bid him farewell.

A NEW LEAD OF CORRUPTION.

The special Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer in his dispatch of
the I'd says:
The Committee on Expenditures of the
Department of Justice did not elicit any
thing very new to-day in relation to the
Western District OF Arkansas; but they
have struck another lead in the Northern
District of Georgia. Mr. Norris. formerly
deputy marshal in that district, appeared
before the committee to-day, and made an
erpa,te statement, not under oath, the COM
mittec preferring this course in order to de-
termine whether there was sufficient founda-
ton upon which to ask the House for author
ity to send for persons and papers. The
marshal of this district is VIM. II. Smyth,
and MIR. Norris charges that there is a regu-
lar conspiracy between the marshal, the
deputies, certain collectors and the distlllers
to defraud the Government. He Processes to
be able to show that there have been un-
necessary and illegal expenditures.
Many of theses officers were indicted but
none we're convicted, Mr. Norris giving as a
reason that the indictments were all found
to be defective, and We're quashed and he
ntimated that the District Attorney was
also in collision with the persons indicted.
He gave, among others, the case of Mr..
Bankwell, Of Garnott county, who was ar
rested on a charge of Illicit distillatiou, and
who was released only after thu payment of
800 to marshal, named Finley. Mr.. Nor
ris some time ago filed specific charges with
the Attorney General. The marshal has
answered them, and the committee will most
likely examine both the charges and the
answer before determining how far they will
