DREARV AHEAD.


Our unfortunate people Of poor
Louisiana. after having been unmeF
cifully pltnderedH by the spurious
government imposed on US at the
point of Grants bayonets, are now
suffering from floods and ~oyerfows
which are destroying vast numbers
of animals and inaicting incalculable
damage upon all our growing crops.
The plain fact must be told, that the
ravages of these floods are but a con-
sequence of the corrupt government
inflicted upon us against our will.
The work of building and repair.
ing our leyees has been Legally en-
trusted to private company by the
negro and carpet-bag Legislature of
1871, under terms which plainly in
Dictated a stupendous job in the
transaction. This Levee Company,
as it is called, for undertaking to pro-
tect the lands in the State subject to
overflow, were to receive the pro-
ceeds of certain specified taxation
upon these lands and the products
thereof, which should afford q rcye
nue. amply sufficient to keep the
works in the best possible condition,
and afford a handsome profit besides.
The operations Of the company are
conducted under the direction Of
three commissioners, VIII 9. are APP
pointed, strangely to say, one by the
State, one by President Grant, and
one by the Company. The present
Commissioners are, General Long
street, Governor Hebert, and one Van
Pelt. These select the places where
the work Of the company is to be
done, and determine upon it's details.
Like all such layouts, in our State,
this Levee Company is a ring ar
ranged to absorb large share of the
revenues collected as lcyee taxes. and
us the taxation for this purpose is so
heavy they can make enormous. pro
its and yet do the work assigned
them faithfully. But Kellogg de-
facto government with characteristic
dishonesty, has failed to remunerate
the company for work actually ac-
complished, and thus afforded them
a valid excuse for leaving much IN /
done that they ought to have done. !,
Since the first day of last October
the company has built sixty-three.
levees, for which they have not re-
ceiyed a cent Of pay, while the State
owes them oyer 81, 600, 900 on account
of former work. This is in nut
shell the levee system imposed upon
US, this the way it has been carried
out, this the way we have received a,
further radical crush, and this the
continuation Of our woes unnumber- |
ed at the hands of reconstruction. !

ma SHEN. VALLEY RAILkoAD.-We
learn that the proposed meeting OF the
stockholders of the Shen. Valley r. K.
Company, at Front Royal, Va, on
Tuesday last, tor the election OF Dlrec-
tors, &c, was brought to Sudden halt
by all injunction granted by Judge
Turner, Of Warren County, Ya.-very
broad in its terms-and obtained IN the
name of Jefferson County, as complain
ant. We understand that the alleged
grounds for obtaining the injunction
are framed in the contracts and trans
actions of the Pa. Central Imp. Co.
insolvency of said Company, their ina
bility to complete the work, DC, DC
We are not sufficiently well advised as
to the allegations of the bill, or the
facts of the case, to express definite
or positive opinion now, but we hear
many grave doubts as to the proprlety
of the action taken under the clrcun-
stances, and whether the gentlemen
purporting to represent the interests OF
the County, has not transcribed their
powers and duties in the use OF the
name of the County in this char acter OF
proceedings. We are not the advocates
of the Pa. Central Imp. Co, but when
that Company has expended over
100000 on the line Of this road, and
have only received in return $4,000 OF
Jefferson County, r. Il. Bonds, and the
balance of the bonds are in as safe
hands as those of the Commissioners, OF
Messrs. Billmyer, Osbourn, and Elchel-
berger,-we think the interests OF the
County were not in imminent danger
of loss Nor have we lost confidence
in the integrity of the Board of Direct
ors who control the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad. We are friends of the road.
and wish rather to encourage and lend
helping hand, than to pull-back and
retard its progress are not willing
that personal enemies of the enterprise
shall use the name and credit of Jeffer-
son County to accomplish personal
ends. We will await further develop
| ments.

HERD COLLEGE,

The embarrassment under which a.
College suffers from the failure Of the the
Legislature to meet its obligations for
the current year is well known. This
makes it necessary for the Trustees TO
urge immediate compliance with the
conditions on which the small tuition
fees were to be paid, viz, in adrune.
for each half session. This being done
we shall be measurably relieved for the
time being, and the College be kept in
full operation until the close OF the ses-
