The people Of the Lower Mississippi Valley
will find in another column Of the DEMOCRAT
d very fine letter from our Washington cor
respondent, Mr.. A. G. Buell., presenting the
different plans for the reconstruction OF the
Ievees. There is little doubt that very libe-
raj policy in this matter will be pursued by
Congress. The only question seems to be,
what is the best system to adopt
III anything is done by the general govern
ment, 1t should be upon q continuous system
which will insure the complete and perma-
nent protection Of the immense and wonder
fully fertile regions affected We are, there
fore, very decidedly in favor of the second
plan detailed by our correspondent. The
gigantic scheme proposed by Capt. Eads is
by no means new one; yet 1t is too COM
pletely an experimental one to enlist any
support or sympathy from the people who
are Immediately interested. We are quite
confident that Capt Eads' plan of ietty-
ing the river would be great protec-
ton to the levees in controlling the fierce
current Of the river in it's channel, and thus
preventing, in a great measure, the caving Of
It's banks. But that by this or any other
means he can dig out the channel and lower
the bed of the Mississippi river SO that its
banks will hold its tremendous annual floods,
We do not believe; and the adoption of any
such visionary scheme by Congress would
look to the people interested very much like
hollow mockery.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-11-09

A Washington dispatch to the New York
papers says that in the proposed new treaty
between the United States and Mexico: ut is
proposed to provide specifically that either
party shall deliver up fugitives from justice
regardless Of their nationality
II IL be true that the Administration has of
7ered to enter into any such treaty as this, as
the World says: 1.-THE Administration will
have a pretty serious account OF it's steward
chip to render to the American people" 1t
would BIO just as reasonable and humane
to make such treaty with the Comanehe In
dams as with Mexico. There Is no injustice
OF cruelty In requiring Mexico to surrender
To our authorities fugitives from our laws,
whatever may be their nationality; but it
would be the very height Of barbarity to sur
render to Mexico, to be tried by such courts
Ms exist In that country, American citizens
who may be fugitives from the peculiar laws
and institutions which flourish there.
The Mexicans are by no means an enlight-
ened people. They have no stable, efficient
and responsible government. They are more
Troublesome, and their border population Is
as merciless and thievish as the worst class
Of Indians. The American government,
therefore, should deal with them pretty much
rs IL ought to deal with the Indians No such
treaties as the one suggested will protect our
frontier from Mexican murderers and marau-
ders. That protection will emily be secured
when this government shows its teeth in the
most unmistakeable manner.

Mr. John Welsh was lately nominated by
the President as Minister to England. He is
Philadelphia merchant, doing business
principally with the West Indies. 1t was
some time before his opponents could find
anything against him, but they succeeded
last week, and produced the following from
the Gaceta de Habdnd:
In the list of plantations in the jurisdiction
of Sagua la Grande and township of Gala
bazaar is the following entry
Estate. Pario: owners. Messrs S. & W. Welsh
Acres of land. 1900; acres of cane. 500.
Slaves, 1873: freedmen, none; coolies, none.
Gross value of crop. S42,s57; net value. $4,000
The firm to which Mr.. John Welsh belongs
is that of S. & w. Welsh, and there seemed no
reason to doubt that it was this identical firm
to which the Gaceta referred. Such charge
that of owning slaves in Cuba, would, of
course, have caused Welsh's defeat in the
Senate. The reporter Of Western paper
interviewed his brother the other day on
the subject. The brother denied emphat-
ically that either he or John Welsh owned
