To Improve Bayou Lafourche.

The Thibodaux SeatiaeI makes u
couple more points worthy of atten-
tion relative to the Bayou Lafourche
question
The plea that thousands of acres of
lands may be redeemed by closing
Bayou Lafourehe aud draining the
swamps into the bayou is worse than
dream of nightmare. Terrebonne
is practicable example of jist such
drainage as the Bayou Lafonfche
weuM furnish. There is a very simple
way to drain every foot of swamp
land on either side of Bayou Eas
fOurche, and that is 10 clean out the
drains that nature has bountif,iffS
provided, not by closing any of them.
1t does seem that the idea of clbsifig
any natural outlets of surplus water
can only originate in crazy brain.
The trouble and the only trouble is
found in the want of outlet from
Harang's to Raceland, where deposits
have been gradually forming for sixty
years, since Gen. jackson placed OBJ
structions in the stream to prevent
the approach of any British force up
the bayou. Locks will perhaps admit
only enough water to find egress by
the present capacity of outlet, but
that would only cause the deposits to
proceed more rapidly, ultimately
closing the stream entirely.
The true and only remedy is to
dredge out the deposits in that por-
ton of the bayou above designated,
aud then there will good navigation,
and no more trouble with crevasses.
The United States placed distractions
in the bayou that have caused the
contraction of the natural egress of
the water, and the United States
should remove them, and those caused
by them.

IBERyILLE LEvEEs.- take the
following from the Iberyille South Of
Saturday last:
From Bruly Landing, in our sister
parish of West Baton Rouge, to the
lower limit of our parish, there are
no less than twelve breaks in the levee
on the right bank of the river, Most
of these breaks are in the big levees
of this section of the country and me-
cessitate an immense amount of labor
to get them mp in time to meet the
high water. Our monopoly Of the
Leyee Company is out of money. Like
all other monopolies created for the
peoples benefit, so called, it is unable
to help us in the hour of need As it
is, the people must help themselves,
and in this section they are preparing
to do al they can TO put these leyees
up. The people from this place to
the lower line of the parish, are pay
ing three per cent. on their assess
ments towards the construction OF the
leyees now down.
We invite the attention of the peo-
pie of the Teche and the Lafourche
countries, aud particularly the latter,
tn this matter. We say to yOu, good

Rrighnm's Business Capacity.


Notwithstanding the boast of Brig
ham NOung'S that he was a great
financier, and the general belief that
he successfully conducted a number
of profitable business enterprises, it
is a fact that every legitimate bust
ness enterprise with which he con-
nected himself was a conspicuous
failure. He made vast sums of
money and died immensely rich in
bank and other stocks, houses,
lands, etc; but his wealth was the
spoil of the most gigantic and I'M
scrupulOuS rObberieS ever perpetra-
ted. He stole millions from the peO-
pie whom he invited here-stOle
Them outright, in the name of the
Lord. He extracted them in the
forms of tithes, gifts, temple funds
and other speciOuS devices. For
nearly Il quarter of a century he
managed to keep 100000 people in
comparative penury and Ignorance
that he and the favOrites who sur
rounded them might thrive. His
avarice and his love of power, which
survived other lusts of the flesh ac-
tivein him in the days when Joseph
Smith revealed pOlygamy that he
and brother reprObates might with
impunity desecrate the beds Ofneigh-
boring husbands in NauvOO, enabled
him to become Opulent, i'm spite of a
business incapacity which was puer-
lie.
