Before the war Our rapid increase of pop
ulation and wealth rivaled the most pros
porous Western State.
After the memorable food of 1867 the
State, being impoverished and unable to
strengthen the levees of the lower parishes
properly, left MOrganza and Grand levees
open as a safety valve, sacrificing few for
the good of the many. We, thus sacrificed,
though equally impoverished, enlarged our
levees, and saved most of our lands through
1868 and 1869. In the fall of 1869 these
crevasses we're closed. Soon after rapid
immigration set in again. The combined
crevasses of POinte COupee and West Baton
Rouge overh0wed four-fifths of our lands in
1874. Again was the State, through her
poverty, forced to sacrifice us for the good
of the lower parishes, and again were we
in our poverty forced to protect ourselves.
We were assured by those in authority that
if we could only save ourselves in 1875, Nor
ganza would be closed before 1876. 1876 is
now at hand; the State is still unable to close
MOrgana, and probably will be for several
years. We have just expended over $40, 900,
in self protection, have saved our crops and
out of these crops thus saved by our own
efforts have paid the combined taxes due
in 1874 and 1875. A portion of these taxes

Durell's Successor.
from tho New York Sun

When Judge Durell, Of the United
States District Court in Louisiana. re-
signed to escape Impeachment, 1t was
hoped by the business men Of New Or
leans, and their creditors in New York,
that an honest and competent successor
would be at once appointed. as the busi-
ness of the court was then greatly In ar
rears. But President Grant, either be.
cause he wished to punish the people OF
Louisiana for complaining OF Durell, or
because he was unable to decide salts
factorily to himself upon the merits OF
those who aspired to succeed Dureli has
permitted the vacancy to remain untitled
for about year, until on Monday he
sent to the Senate the name OF II. q.
Billings.
The qualifications of Billings for this
responsible Office are numerous. but we
will only enumerate u few OF the more
striking. For instance:
|. Billings is carpet-bagger, and
presumably q third-termer, while he is
generally detested by the native citi-
zens of Louisiana, and cordially re-
ciprocates that feeling 49,
.. As it was out of Grants power to
keep Durell longer In Office, the most
prominent leaders of his own party
having demanded his impeachment, 1t
became desirable to appoint Judge
who would combine within himself, so
far as possible, the peculiar qualities
which distinguished Durell. In this re-
gard Billings undoubtedly fills the bill.
3. As there is little doubt that with u
| fair election the Democrats will carry
Louisiana in 1876, it becomes necessary
to have United States Judge there who
will have no hesitation about interfer-
| ing to reverse the action of the people
| i'm such an event and as Billings Is the
reputed author Of the noted illegal mid
night order signed by Durell, which was
made the pretcxt for ovcrturning the
State government by the use of Federal
troops, 1t will be seen thnt he is u very
handy Judge to have a ,out when the
Washington they will vote.
4. Good tinancicrs are wanted to
provide campaign funds for the next
| Presidential contest. The exploits OF
Billings as a member of the notorious
Bankruptcy Ring attached to Durell's
court prove that he has the ability TO
make himself useful i'm this important
capacity. Senators wishing information
about the operations Of the aforesaid
Bankruptcy Ring are referred to the
files Of the Sun, or to any prominent
mercantile house in this city which has
been engaged i'm the New Orleans trade.
States District Judge should be thor
oughly acquainted with the actual con
dition Of affairs in Louisiana. Here the
qualifications of Billings stand out pre-
ominently, us he has been personally
concerned In nearly all Of the most vii
lainous transactions which have taken
place i'm that State since Grant and
Casey came into power.
We might mention other reasons why
the Senate should proceed to confirm
this appointment without delay; but it
Is hardly necessary, as the fact that he
has nominated Billings is sufficient evi-
dence that Grant believes his anti
Catholic and war policy has made him
SO strong with his party as candidate
for third term, that the Senate will
not presume hereafter to thwart him in

The Cnban Question,

A Washington special says that Secre-
tary Fish yesterday communicated to
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
lations the note sent to European powers
concerning Cuban affairs. The note re-
cites the long duration Of the struggle
in Cuba. the useless bloodshed and
devastation and the apparent incapacity
of Spain to quiet Cuba. 1t also explains
tho delicate and difficult position Of the
United States in the case and conveys
strong assurance that this Government
doesn't want to annex Cuba, us such "a
step would be undesirable and even
calamitous. But u war raging on our
border and disturbing us and putting US
to inconvenience, IL was suggested that
II the European powers felt inclined they
would do wisely to represent to Spain
their own opinion Of the situation and
the necessity OF taking practical and
positive measures for the qualifications
Of Cuba. Our Ministers were instructed
to read the note to the foreign ministers
Of Great Britain.
