From The New Orleans Picayune.
Colonel Thomas s. Hardee, City
Surveyor, has made his report to
the City Council Of the effect the
Bonnet Carre Crevassc has had
and may have on Lake Pontchar-
train. Colonel HArdee deserves
great credit for the care with which
he has investigated this subject.
II was . timely thought and very
necessary labor, and IL the sugges-
tions he makes be promptly acted
upon, IN impending calamity may
be prevented.
The survey SHOVE that tho Bon
net Carre Crevasse is 1917 feet wide
at the break In the lcvec, and WI
dens out through the swAmps until
It is twenty-five miles wide on en-
tering the lake, leaving much Of its
sediment in tho swamps. The dis
tance from river to lake Is FIVE
miles, and the fall eighteen fcct.
A deposit has been made by this
crevasse and others In the western
eud Of the lake Of two hundred
millions Of cubic yards Of mud,
sullclentssto raise the surface Of Ill
New Orleans four feet.
The great danger hes In the large
amount Of fresh water poured like
oil on the top Of the brackish lake
water, the river water being tho
lighter. In case Of long continued
blows from the east, the river water
being unable to escape to the sea,
and the lake being filed with seq
water, the city must be overnowed.
And this very nearly happened
last sprin1. 1t is . danger which
demands immediate care to provide
against II. No time should be lost
In securing tho means to close
Bonnet Csrrc.

At II Again In West Feliciana.

Senator E. L. Weber, who has just ar
rived from West Feliciana, reports that
matters in that parish are even worse since
the election than they were before. The
negroes begin to despair Of ever again Sec
ing peaceable times, and many Of them are
leaving and others preparing TO leave.
The following report Of 3 sample out
rage was prepared tor the local paper, but
the publisher feared to use it, not because
it is not true, but for prudential reasons:
The killing of Charles P. Smith, . colored
man, on the evening of the twenty-second
instant, was one Of the most shameful,
wsntOn and upprovOked murders that has
ever been committed in this community.
He was in the employ of q white man by
the nsme of John Wesley Dixon, and at
the time of the homicide Dixon had just
returned from Bay on Sara, with q wagon
laden with the household effects of an old
lady by the name of Smith. Smith 1.-THE
deceaeed) was then in his field in com.
papy with another colored man by the
name of Gibson Clark. busily engaged in
transporting bis cotton from the field to
house near by. Dixon rode up and com.
manded them to desist from their work,
and to help him unload the wagon. They
replied that - soon a. they emptied their
cotton they would willingly do 90. There.
upon Dixon few into q rage. deliberately
raised his gun, and shot Smith dead in his
