We would call the attention of
purchasers to the fact that we keep
an immense stock Of repair-parts on
hand mt convenient points in the
country, SO that in case Of breakage,
which will occur sometimes with the
best machines, the farmer can get
the broken part duplicated near
home, without being subjected to the
veNations and expensive delays
caused by having to send to the
shops hundreds Of miles away for
the broken piece
This is point of great import

made a demonstration of resistance 1t
will be, we fear, Of a momentary and
partial character, and will eventually
yield to the cunning hint Of Mr.. Sher-
man to consult his political affiinities
in the distribution Of his patron
age, and this is our appre hension.
We trust it may be groundless one.
Not that we have the slightest interest
in Mr.. Kings distribution Of his patron
age, or any desire that he may regard
any good Democrat as embraced within
the circle Of those affinities, our only
interest being in testing the sincerity OF
the professions Of the President and
his Cabinet officials, Of hostility to
the appointment Of persons OF well
known incompetency and unreliable
ness and Of political and partisan bad
repute-in fact, Of enemies to our State
and people.

ascertaining whether they can effect
this transportation at reasonable rates,
Great is their disappointment and
annoyance to find that the navi-
CATION is entirely closed by
this escape of the great body
Of Red river through Tones bayou.
The closing Of this bayou is therefore
a most pressing urgency, similar to that
Of a great crevasse or other casualty
endangering any great interest of our
city. 1t is one which the Governor
justly estimates as calling for
prompt action. He has therefore sent
the State engineers to Tones bayou to
examine and report upon the practical
bility, effect and cost of it's closing, and
when that report comes it will be
question which the Governor and our
citizens will promptly meet in a practi-
cal manner, to have this great obstruc-
ton removed in advance of the more
substantial and permanent provision of
the Federal government. There will,
we feel satisfied, be no delay in the &C.
ton imperiously demanded by this seri-
GUS and pressing emergency.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-08-17
AN URGENT NEED.

An exigency of the most serious char
acter has arisen, to which the attention
Of Gov. Nichols has been earnestly
called by our merchants and by all
others interested in the most important
trade Of our city. We refer to the ur-
gent demand for the improvement of
the navigation of Red river, which is
seriously INSTRUCTED by the escape OF
the main body of the stream through
that troublesome Bayou Tone. This
bayou being now open, Red river pre-
sents the curious condition OF having a
depth of water in the current from that
point to Shreveport Of nine feet, which
would afford sure navigation for the
Robert E. Lee. Below that point the
current gives but two feet Of depth, and
only half the width.
This stops all water transportation
from this city. for the immense trade
with Texas and our northwestern par
ishes, of which three-fourths would
come to this city, with uniform depth
of Red river, at prices for transporta-
ton fifty per cent lower than those to
St. Louis by river and rail.
With this uniform depth. with the
same stage Of water from Tones bayou
to Shreveport, the boats now laid
up would be engaged in bringing to this
city the immense produce which is &C.
cumulating in this region we have indi-
Gated. And the almost impracticability
or at least the enormous cost Of sending
any needed supplies, machinery, flour.
pork, etc., from this city to that section
would be saved. Residents, planters
and merchants in large numbers have
