MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE STORM As A DAMpER.

The storm OF the previous day seemed to have
cast damper over the business at the CITY Hall,
and was about the only topic of conversation.
The Surveyors department was entirely deserted,
Mr.. d'Hemecourt and his subalterns having
started out early in the morning to examine the
condition of affairs in the rear of the city. Mr..
Oavanao was also absent from his office, he bay-
ing gone on similar mission to the New Lake
and elsewhere.
MIR. d Hemecourt, who did not return to town
until after dark last evening. reports that the
water OF the lake were higher during the storm
OF yesterday, by three inches, than it ever was
known to be, and that he is informed that for
one moment 1t was one inch above the Metarie
Ridge level, as indicated by the bench stone at
the lake. With the assistance of the men of the
improvements Department, MIR. d'Hemecourt
was engaged during the day in closing breach
in the Bayou Savage, near London Avenue.
The inundation at the intersection OF the
Pontchartran Railroad and Gentilly road, Mr..
d Hemecourt says. is due to the grading of the
railroad, which s much lower than the ridge,
DUE it seems, to the prevailing idea at the time
the Pontch,rtrain Railroad was constructed 1.-THE
second built in the United States) that railroad
had to be laid on q dead level, and that other
wise il would not work.
Inc surveyor also claims that the storm has
proved conclusiyely the necessity of construct
ing flood gate at Peoples Avenue Canal, to pre-
vent the inundstion OF the Third District, which
he recommended to The Council two months ago.
Mr.. d'Hemecourt ascribsd the submerging OF
the bench stone at the lake to the sudden shift
ing of the wind from the eastward TO the north
west, the latter wind driving the water from the
other eide of the lake to this before the waters
from the gulf had time to recede; and he esli-
mates that the level OF the lake must have been
for moment three feet lower on the Vaudeville
side than on this. He adds, that between IL and
6 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the water in the
canals had fallen four inches, and should the
wind continue favorable, the fall would by this
morning be FROM one foot to eighteen inches

1t was fully two hours after the foodgstes OF
heaven had been closed before early pedestrians
could walk the streets.
The city front was damaged very slightly
while the rear of the city. caused by the over
flowing of the different canals, was entirely sub
merged.
At midnight Tuesday the water from the Lake
reached GENTLY Road, and the entire country for
miles around was. Inundated.
At q number of houses on GENTLY Road the
water was up to the galleries, and skifs were used
to convey the occupants to places of security.
In this section, the only damage so far sus
tanned was the blowing down of a number oil
fences and the uprooting of large number Of
valuable trees.
The whole Of GENTLY Road, from the lake te
Luxembourg Hospital is under water, and as there
are large number of gardens by which the
poorer class in this section of the country sub
sist destroyed, want will be felt bya number o.
families.
Several very fine orchards have all been de.
stroyed. The loss estimated to garden trees an6
fences in the rear portion Of the city will exceed
$50, 900. =
WITHIN THE CITY
the wind played havoc with signs, fences AND
trees, there being over $50 fences. 800 signs and
neaaly 500 trees blown down.
Together with the above several cornices o.
houses were left a mass of shattered timber or
the banquettes, while doors and shutters were
torn from their hinges.
The front doors of the Superior Criminal Court
although securely bolted, were blown open ant
damaged.

Intolerance and Impudence.

The impudence that we speak Of now IL
that barefaced hypocrisy with which FRO
testantism claims to be tolerant; the par
ticular instance of intolerance to which We
| now call attention is that of the Protestant
majority in New Hampshire. We are in
formed, in o press item, that at the cleo
ton just held in that State q proposed
amendment abolishing the prescription OF
Catholics was defeated. We cannot say in
Just what particulars the Constitution OF
New Hampshire proscribes Catholics, but
whatever they may be they are the fruits Of
Protestant bigotry.
Because q man believes In the Christian
religion as taught by the Catholic Church,
and because he is sincere and honest enough
to acknowledge that belief, he is declared
unfit to enjoy the same civil privileges with
his fellow citizens. He must pay his taxes,
and in Gaze of war he will be gladly trusted
with an opportunity of shedding his blood
in defense of the State, but whenit comes to
holding Offices of profit or dignity he is IN
fit. He may be as gifted as Shakespeare or
Dante, as learned as Secchi or Mezzofanti,
as enterprisng as Christopher Columbus or
Lord Baltimore, as gallant as Lafayette or
X osc asko-all Catholic pames--bat he is
not fit to enjoy equal liberties with the
Free Lover. the Spiritualiss, the Mormon
or the Atheist.
And yet this ia in Protestant New
Hampshire, in Protestant New Eng
land and yet Professionalism impudently
asserts its spirit of liberation and yet
Protestan tism hypocritically pretends that
its very corner stone ia the right of every
man to judge and choose for himself i'll the
matter of religion.
