to us, therefore, that tho Legislatu 70 OF
Louisiana and the Council OF this city
should Immediately place themselves
In line with the Legislatures Of other
States In petitioning Congress to accord
the aid asked for the construction OF
this great highway from ocean to ocean.
A strong feeling has grown up In the
North and West against subsidies to
railroads and other public works by tho
Federal government. As an original
proposition, this perhaps might have
been sustained; but now, since the gov
ernment has expended for public i'm
provements ia the Northern States and
territories &175, 900 900 OF public moneys,
while In tho Southern States and
territories the public expenditures
for similar purposes have been but
$40 ,0o0, 900, 1T has an aspect Of gross
psrtiality ard inequality now TO refuse

South in n condition to share with en-

that, with all the advantages OF

the Southern. portion of The country,
our people might have borne with some
patience the refusal or postponement of
such application OF the national reve-
nues. But since this work has beer
done for the North, we confess that we
cannot appreciate tho justice and ma

gressmen, who desire to preserve
the spirit Of q true and Just

jealousies and discontents, can withhold
their earnest support from the measure
which proposes to extend to the South
the great benefits Of q national work,
which will do more than any other act
of the Federal government to bind to-
gether all parts Of the country In indis-
soluble bonds Of common interest

THE LEVEE COMPANY,

We present this morning communi-
cation In relation to the Leyee Com.
pany, signed stockholder. We again
repeat that the affairs Of this company,
from Ito origin to the present time, re.
quire the most thorough investigation.
There Ia no fact. as we stated yester-
day, more conspicuous than that the
company has failed to keep up the
levees. except that the company now
presents heavy claim upon the State.
The Levee Company Is one among the
numerous corporate monopoIies which
sprang from the ubiquitous loins OF Radi-
calism, andwhich has conferred no beae-
fit upon the State, though the taxpay-
ers have paid the tribute imposed upon
them for its sustenance. In day or
two we shall more fully discuss
this matter; and in the meantime we
again suggest that the Legislature,
through the law officer Of the State, in
stitute q searching inquiry into the
validity Of the claim Of the company of
considerable over q million dollars,
against the State.
II vigorous and timely action is taken
by the government, more can be done
towards repairing the levees than the
company can or will do, for the work
can be contracted for at q much lower
price than is allowed the company.

The electoral middle stands at pres
ent about as follows: Leaving out Of
view the electors claimed by either side
to have been constitutionally disquali-
fed, Governor Tilden has 1874 undis-
puted votes and Governor Hayes 172.
The latter requires, for his election, the
/ 8 votes OF Louisiana, the 4 votes Of
Florida and the Watts vote from Ore
gon. The former needs only one vote
In addition to those conceded to him !;
or, that the vote of Louisiana or Florida
or any individual vote Of q disqualified
elector be thrown out. To illustrate
the matter, let us take the case OF
Florida now pending before the Flee
toral Commission. IL the commission
should determine to look beyond the
certificates Of the Canvassing
Board, 1t must either give the four
votes to Tilden, and thus elect
him President, or throw out the vote
entirely, in which case the House OF
Representatives would elect him in the
event that 1t be determined that the
I
receives majority Of the 800 electoral
votes. On the other hand, IL the vote OF
that State should be given to Hayes, he
would still lack nine votes Of majority
over Tilden. In view Of these facts it is
difficult to conceive how we can ever be
blessed with the presidency Of Return
ing) B(oard) Hayes, whose friends began
to manifest so much sympathy for the
dewn-trodden South the moment it was
assertained that he could only be de-
clared President through fraud and
usurpation, and feared that the South
might possibly unite with the West in
sending monster delegations Of sun
armed" Democrats to Washington tc
protest and petition Congress against
his Inauguration.

dozen counties to voluntarily swear off

victories for whisky and freedom, and

give up the fight and fight whisky in

The Police Jury OF Lafourche have a
curious idea about that "lowest bidder"
business. The lease Of the Lockport
ferry was declared open for bids the
past week. A number OF these were
handed In, the highest being an offer Of
$500 for the privilege. The jury indig-
nantly denied it, and after deliberation
concluded that the "lowest bidder" who
had offered $3.50 for the lease Of the
ferry deserved it. The people OF the
parish applaud this somewhat novel
decision.

story to tell Of Seveignes, who sits in

book keeper in commercial house In

stances arose and a deficit OF some
$500 was discovered on the wrong side
or the ledger. Seyeignes balanced his
book by leaving for parts unknown
with travelling company of minstrels.
This probably proving far from lucra-
tive, he turned up again in Lafourohe,
and when next seen in New Orleans he
came as q member Of the Legislature.

peace Ia Republican,, disguised with
the present mixed condition of affairs
in this State, resolved to give up
his office. As, however, he did not care

the nomination, he put his commission
un at auction and 1t was sold for $780,
The happy purchaser, armed with the
commission, went to the former incum-
bent and demanded the office, papers,

pleasant chat we logged on down the creek
and soon reached the mill. From the hill
top, east of the mill, we had 4 view of the
new barn of William Preston, who, we were
told, had the best farm in the Eighth dis
trict.
The mill OF Mr.. Magraw is located at
Porter's bridge. This is the place where
old Peggy Porter once lived. She was the
principal character in E. E. Ewing's story
of The Hag of the Walla Wash" We
were here eighteen years ago when the
bag lived here, and find the place much
improved since that time. The mill of Mr..
NJ. was built ten years ago. and is one of
the largest and best mills on the creek, per-
haps in the county. The mill and appur-
tenances cost $50, and contains four
run Of burs and has capacity to grind $50
bushels of wheat and 800 bushels of corn a
day. This mill is constructed to do the
best merchant work, and some times they
send flour to the cities. Just now Mr. NJ.
confines his business to the local trade. In
with the mill Mr.. NJ. has fine
farm of $50 acres in high state of cult
walton.
A. S. Elliott keeps store here and is
doing thriving and increasing business
Joseph L. Green carries on blacksmithing
here, and is an industrious and thrifty man.
Near the bridge, but located on Love
Run, is the saw mill of Amos Moore where
he also attends to the business of under
taking.
So endeth the journey of Quilp to the
mills.
