Letter of the Holy Father.

The following is translation of the
letter from His Holiness Plus TX, lately
written to the Venerable Archbishop and
Bishops of this Province. Its readers can
not but observe the pleasure with which
the Holy Father reverts, not only to the
fidelity of our hierarchy and clergy, but to
the popular manifestations in his favor so
often made in this Province. There are
persons who cannot see the use of such
public demonstrations, just as some of the
Apostles thought that the precious ointment
! poured on our Saviour's head was a
waste. And just as they were confoanded
on that occasion, SO are our modern uti-
litarians reproved by the glowing en-
comiums of the Sovereign Poutif upon
what they disapprove:
To our Venerable Brethren, Napoleon Joseph, Arch.
bishop of New Orleans, and the other Bishops Of the
came Ecclesiastical Province at New Orleans.
PIUs *, POPE.
Venerable Brethren, Health and Apostolic Benedic-
tion:
We have seen with much pleasure Venerable
Brethren, that you have assembled in a Pro-
vincial Council in order that, by mutual con-
sultation, you might the more appropriately,
efficaciously and easily provide for the interests
of the church and the salvation of souls in that
province.
Although we have submitted to the Copgre
CATION of the Propagation of the Faith, for
their consideration, the acts of your Synod and
the duty of communicating with you, we can
not refrain from commenting the harmony
which characterized your assembly and the
universal respect and love and zeal towards
this Apostolic See, with which, manifestly ad-
herring not only to the definitions of the Vatican
Council but to the universal Ponti6cal consti.
tutions and documents, you have endeavored
to con form your clergy to them and to model
your people and all your affairs to their
standard, so that the unity between the head
and members may be always more firmly
effected and more conspicuously manifested.
Though indeed we have had so many and
such manifest proofs of your excellent zeal, as
we'll in the expression of most devoted affec-
prayers, liberal contributions and pilgrimages
organized to visit us, still we have certainly
seen in you O new and perspicuous proof
thereof, not only in the unanimlty, but also in
the general Joy and acclamation with which
your expressions of love and devotion towards
us were received by all your people.
May tho Almighty always increase the store
of your merits aud confer such efficacy upon
your Pastoral care, that it shall make as many
confided to that care one with us, by
you and through you, and change them into
joy and crown for you.
We, most earnestly imploriug this blessing
for you, do as q mark of divine favor and es-
pecialiy proof of our good will, lovingly
impart to each of you, Venerable Brethren, and
to each of your Dioceses, the Apostolic Bene-
diction.
Given at Rome, from st. Peters, the 9th day
of August, 1874, and in the 29th year of our
Pontificate. PIUs TX, PORE.

Our LEvEEs.-An important advertisement
from Mr.. Thos. I.Dix, Secretary of the Louisi-
ana Levee Company, will be found on the fifth
page. The construction of eighty-six levees,
aggregating 100000 cubic yards, has been
ordered. As the Levee Company has not
sufficient funds to pay cash for all, 1T asks pro-
posals from planters and others to do the work,
the terms being part cash and part credit.
Planters and others living in the vicinity of
the broken leyees win have preference in
obtaining contracts.
