Mr.. Darrall should know that
U. s. Engineers also, after a
thorough survey of Bayou La
tourche from Dona.dsonville to
the Gulf, have pronounced the
dredging and cleaning of the
Bayou also practicable, and one
of easy accomplishment.
1t seems very probable to a man
living Oh this Bayou, whose plan
ters are capable of producing aud
shipping annually 70 market, pro-
ducts to the amount Of ten mil
lions of dollars, and requiring
return merchandise annually to
an amount of five to eight nil
lions of dollars, that the proper
heading Of the Bill shonld have
been, tan Act to enable Packs

ring of public plunderers, to vote
for an act to close Bayou La

From the best information
obtained, from exchanges and
other sources, the SENTINEL is
authorized to state that all the
breaks in the levee below Baton
Rouge, on the west bank, have
been closed.
The people themselves have
gone to work and did what thew
have paid the Levee Board to do.
AS an instance of the efficiency
and economy of the Levee Board,
it is ouly necessary to state that
the people have built up the
damaged levees for about one
third the price which that famous
Board have been Rying Tor the
same work.
Is it any wonder that the
Levee Board with such economi>
cal ideas, that 3~O0>yards was less
than 100 miles, when asked for IA
reason to close Bayou Lafourche?
They have made another dis>
covery lately, that the State
owes them two hundred thousand
or two hundred millions of dol
lars, and want the Legislature to
nav them This debt is due because
they have charged sixty cents
per cubic yard for work that cost
about 90 or % cents, and they
want the difference.
The Legislature should let them
90 To Guinea tor their claim.
