The Levees and the High Water.

| The reply of City Surveyor Bell to Ad.
ministrator Lewis, published yesterday
had a soothing effect, allaying the fears OF
many citizens who expected to see all our
streets flooded by this time. At late hour
last night the report from the harbor sta
| ton, head Of Canal street, was that the river
had fallen to the high water mark OF 1871
| This news seems too good to be true. but
| that there is fail is certain. though the
| cause may be in consequence OF timely
wind.
The condition of the levee in front Of our
city is the same as on Wednesday, notwi.h-
standing fresh breeze and food of rain.
News from the lower coast is still dis
agreeable. There are or were nine crevas-
ses. but two Of them have been closed. The
Duplessis break is considered beyond re-
demptiom, which sounds the death knell to
rice crops at or rear Pointe-a-la- Hacheo The
citizens of that place held meeting
Tuesday night, but the result has not
reached the city.
The Republican Pioneer, published a:
Bonnet Carre, says that the crevasse there
was caused by defective rice tame in
front Of Mr.. George Elfer's place.
Two breaks occurred in the levee at Con-
vent, st. James parish, Monday night. but
residents Of the village rallied and by extra
exertions prevented crevasses.
The Buena Vista levee, says the Sentinel,
is able to hold the river, thanks to the as
sistance given by cOlored people.
The Plaquemne Sentine! Of the eleventh
instant says:
The levee broke in front Of the rice farm
of Etienne Dolce, two miles above the
courthouse, and IL front of Pierre Collects,
a short distance below the Dolce crevasse,
Both of these breaks are from $50 to 200
feet in width, and the water has already
Overfowed a number of adjacent rice farms
upon which the grain had been recently
sown. This sowing is a total loss. We have
rumor that crevasse also occurred at the
Bohemia plantation of l.. f. Generes, five
miles below the courthouse.
These crevasses are not yet closed, and
the general apprehension is that they can
not be closed for some time, or before the
cane fields OveIfiowed are ruined for this
season. There is some chance for the rice
planters. for rice sowed in either Nav or
June will make a good crop, if the river re-
water. |
The damage sustained thus far on the |
left bank of the river is very great. The |
people who reside on that bank are not in !
debted to the Levee Company that they are |
not in water up to their necks from one end |
Of the parish to the other. To their own
vigilance and muscle are they indebted .
At twelve o'clock last night there was no
wind, and the rain had ceased, though the
sky was murky.
There was no news from Carrollton or
Kenner, and it is said that no news is good
news.
The Jackson railroad at Kenner is under
water, and as the company advertises that
t will not receive any more freight, it is
concluded the trains will cease to run from
o-day. Probably the railroad managers
will place steamer on Lake Pontchartrain
o-day to take passengers from Milneburg
o Pass Manchac.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE ELECTION
LAWS.
An Authoritative Declaration.


In the debate on the Louisiana question
III the United States Senate, on Wednesday,
as telegraphed by the Washington agent of
the Associated Press, Governor kellogg's
telegram to Senator West was garbled, and
some of the most important points were
copy Of the original as sent. The words
ltalicised are omitted, among others. IN the
dispatch sent back by the Associated Press:
New ORLEANS, April Is, 1874
Eon J. R. West. United States Senator. Washing
tUI:
! am informed that some of the Last
Ditchers have telegraphed Senator Carpen-
ter and others that have a bill before me,
tntendtng TO sign and prontutgate the same
hereafter, which rtpeals the new election
law. This is false. We can have fair
election under the present law. This is all
Republicans ask, and ii is achat The Dentoc-
rGcy hate.
WILLIAM P. KELLOGG.
To place the matter beyond all question,
the Governor yesterday forwarded to Sen
ator Morton the following dispatch:
EXECUTIVE CEANBKRS
New Orleans, April l6, 1874. )
Washington District of Columbia:
see by the press dispatches it was charg-
ed III the Senate yesterday that have IN
my hands bill which l intend hereafter to
approve and promulgate, repeating the new
election law, the effect OF which will be to
put the same power in my hands that
Warmoth had This is untrue. The facts
are that during the last days OF the session
among other bills passed were two elea
ton acts. One act amended act No. l9 Of
1913, IN several particulars, the other repeal
ed act No. l9 and amended act No. 90 Of 1872.
The former is vague, uncertain and Objec-
tonable, and will in no contingency what
ever be approved or promulgated. The
latter bill, a copy of which l sent Senator
West several days since has been approved
and promulgated. 1t provides that except
IN the parish of Orleans the police Jurors
shall appoint election commissioners, fix
the polling Places etc. 1t is under this law
that the tall election will be held, SO far as
the State authorities are concerned. This
law, it is believed, willIinsure fair election.
This is all the Republican party desire.

harbOr would be in the line of commerce and
vessels would have refuge whether passing
the whole seven miles of the canal would
lie within the protection of our tortifca-

Fifty.tWO Years Ago.

A fle Of the Louisiana Courier, for
which, by the way, Captain G. j. Schrieber,
Of the detective police, has our sincere
thanks, for the year 1922, shows US that on
the sixth of May, of that year, J. Roffignac,
was reelected Mayor of this city, receiving
all the votes cast-l0lS. The State Treas
urer about the same time submits his re-
port, from which it appears that 254 grog
shops or places where liquor was sold, paid
license tax to the State. We bring these
figures together for the sake of compari-
son-one drinking place to every four vot-
ers! Those were jolly days for New Or
leans. But. alas! but for the pleasant sum-
mer beverage to which his name attaches,
who of those who drink and vote today
ever heard of Mayor ROfignac!

Death of Mrs. J. o. Chalon.

We were panied yesterday to learn OF the
death of the wife of our esteemed friend,
Joseph Octave Chalon, SO long known to
members of the bar and others as an eff
cient attache Of the district courts. Mrs.
Chalon suffered long with a painful illness
and bound the friends her many estimable
qualities gained her closer by the resignation
and fortitude with which she endured it.
Her death was not unexpected, but her loss
is nevertheless the cause of sorrow, and We
deeply sympathize with the bereaved hus-
band and her many friends.

Louisiana Jockey Club.

Inc weather, yesterday, was execrable
1t rained from A M, continuously, till
dark. This, Of course, necessitated post
ponement of the fourth days races. The
events announced tor yesterday will come
off to-day, weather permitting.
Nopools were sold last night, the weather
preventing any gathering of turtles. A
few horse men met at Hawkins club room
but they only talked horse talk, little
and no money was laid out. The status of
the flyers remain, therefore, just as reported
IN yesterdays REPUBLICAN.

The DeyGyOd Concert.

The kind but casual appearance in grand

the effect of causing much regret that she
had not been added to the very excellent
troupe with which Manager Canonge has

to be regretted. We can but particularize

may not be very great, but the scruples

Petitioning Governor Kellogg for Relief.

PetitiOning Governor Kellogg for Relief.
Yesterday delegations of citizens from
the parishes OF Lafourche, Terrebonne, Cata
houla, Ouachita. Red River and from else
where called on Governor Kellogg in the
interest of people who are sufferers by
reason of 0vertiows and loss of crops. The
gentlemen were very earnest, and among
them were representative men of all classes
of society. The main request was for the
Governor to accompany them on visit to
General Emory, that they might urge that
official to use his powers and influence with
President Grant to have the general gov
ernment furnish food to the many destitute
people in Louisiana, especially those who
are suffering in consequence of high water.
Governor Kellogg clearly explained that it
would be useless to call on General Emory
on such mission at present, as the Presi-
dent, during the time Congress was in ses-
sion, can do nothing in this matter. He ad-
vised that the case be laid before Congress
direct, and if they would put petition in
proper form, he would Immediately tele-
graph it to Senator West or to President
Grant. He also stated to the delegation
that Senator West is already apprised of the
deplorable situation in the flooded districts.
and has promised to use his best efforts to
procure from the government a donation of
provisions to meet this very demand This
explanation did not seem to wholly satisfy
the gentlemen, when it was agreed that the
Governor will accompany them today on a
visit to General Emory, when every point |
Will be fully explained to the kind dhearted |
soldier. If it is in the power of General
Emory to assist the needy. he VIII doubt
