long lead. and especially . heavy one,
though we'll thrown, will sink q great part
Of its length into the bottom, and, whether
the lead line be measured from the lower OF
upper end of the lead, wrong results are
obtained. Then much depends on the
honesty of the leadsman. Even when the
water is smooth, it requires an experienced
and close observer to determine if he be no,
calling from six to Twelve inches more OF
less than the actual sounding. In rough
water it is yet more difficult to detect error
of this kind, since the the leadsman him.
self must average the rise and fall of the
waves to give the true sounding,
1t will be seen from this, how, even
ascribing to contractors and leadsmen aver.
age honesty, and to inspectors average
knowledge Of and attention to what has
been stated above, erroneous results may
be obtained.
Returning to the works of 1853, 1857, 1853,
1859 and 1860, all my infOrmants agree that
those works at no time afforded . channel
more than sixteen feet in depth at mean
low tide. Why was a greater depth re.
ported!
The contractors provided the leadsman
leads and lead lines; the leads " er long and
heavy, such as used for off shore soundings;
the lines were measured dry, and from the
lower end of the lead; the soundings were
often taken from the bow of steamer,
with the inspector in the pilOthouse, watch
ing the leadsman as we'll as he could, re-
cording the calls, and his attention dis
tracted as much as possible by the CONVEX
sation of persons about him.
In one case they we're taken from boats,
one on either side of the steamer, at dis
lance of $50 feet from the latter, with the
inspector on the steamer.
These soundings, it was thought, were
verified by triangulation, the inspector and
his assistant using the instruments from
stations on mud Jumps distant from the
made from small boats 6y the contractor

Upon which the Republican remarks:
An approximate estimate-and nothing
more is pretended-woulds show frac-
ton over 2 per cent of the population in
the Northern and Western sections en-
ployed in exclusive attendance upon the
remainder, while in the Southern section
about per cent, or double the number
in the North and West, is employed in
the same mental services. Taking into
account the fact that more than half the
population of Louisiana is colored and
that the colored people employ scarcely
any servants, the Republican concludes
that the white and colored domestcs
of the whites in Louisiana are 10 per
