d'Hemecourt, who says that the same irrga-
ton can be obtained by running q syphon
through the evee instead of cutting IT. The

spoken of, crevasse there would naturally be
very disastrous, and the rice planters have
been justly alarmed at the cutting being done
whilst the river was within four feet Of the
highest water mark.
The penalty for cutting levees Is very grave.

RESIGN ED,

There was a special meeting Of the officers
Of the regiment OF Orleans Artillery last
night at their arsenal, on st, Peter street.
After the meeting had been called to order
the resignation Of Col. J. B. Viuet, as com
manding officer Of the regiment, was read,
and received with much regret by his brother
officers. The record Of Col Vinet is one Of
which any gentleman might be proud, and
we only hope, for the sake Of the Orleans Ar
tillery, that his successor, whoever he may
be- will be as gallant and efficient an officer.
Lieut.. Col, Pike Is next in rank and has now
command OF the regiment He is q gentle
man Of fine ability and good officer The
regiment cannot but prosper under him.

THE GAINES CASES,

The investigation by MIR. Sabourin, master
In chancery in the Gaines cases, Is still pro-
crossing. Yesterday there was introduced
in evidence plan purporting to be the origi-
nal plan of the Clark property. This plan is
the property of J. Q. A. Fellows, Esq, and
also contains the word "Place Bretonne'' on
the spot designating the location Of the Bre-
tonne Market for the sake of accuracy and
old traditions 1t is to be hoped that the city
press and city officials will not persist In
calling 1t the "LeBreton" Market and indi-
eating what Is claimed, that it was either
donated or surrendered by it's late proprietor
for public purposes, But it seems that Mr..
Fellows also says that he is under the i'm
preston that the original plan should have
on It's face the name of the late Mr.. Clark, ap-
proving of its correctnessa fact which, II true,
would seem to complicate matters AS to the
plan on parchment, which has been referred
examined by Mr. Whitaker, the expert, 1t has
also been submitted to Mr., Douglas. the
weil-known photographer and engraver, who
has thus far failed TO discover any trace Of era
sures on it, either by means Of metallic instru-
ment or chemicals. We say thus far because
it Is proposed to examine the plan again with
a more powerful microscope than has been
used heretofore. Stilit Is u patent fact that
the deposit plan is missing from the notarial
archives of the City Hall. Our friend d'Heme-
regarding the identity of the missing record
with that which has been used in evidence in
the Gaines cases and is now in the possession
Of Mr. Sabourin.
1t is curlous. indeed, to compare the pin
points made through the plan on parchment
and that made by Mr.. d'Hemecourt in 1875,
particularly along the course Of one Of the
bayous traced on the plans. They correspond
so exactly, says our City Surveyor. that he
cannot admit that there is q mistake on his
part. And then it should be remembered Mr..
d'Hemeco,lft claims that he has satisfied him
self that the words place Bretonne" are
erased from the deposit plan, and as well
the words LA Corderiee," which he repro,
duced on the copy made by him, rs stated
before, in 1875, when the deposit plan was in
the notarial records Of Notary Pedescla,lx.
At all events If the plan produced by Mr..
| Fellows Is admitted to be the original plan OF
the property, it follows that the place
Bretonne" was surrendered or abandoned by
Mr. Clark long before his death to public use
and, under the declamer to title or possession
of the city, particularly, the municipal gov
eminent cannot be held bound by Mrs. Gaines
for the $4,000 or more which is sought to bt
recovered from the city for the estimated
value of the rents of the land.

supposed mother. The mother now denies

THE CRUISE OF THE KRANZ.
A Pleasant Trip to the Long Branch Of
the south.

The steamer John F. Kranz left the city
last Saturday on a trial trip to Grand Isle
with about fifty passengers on board and
loaded to the waters edge with freight. The
weather looked squally and threatening at
the time of her departure, and the weather
wise predicted a rough voyage. Notwith-
standing the rain, wind and general nastiness
of the weather large crowd was assembled
on the wharf to bid the staunch little steamer
and her living freight bon DoynGe and safe
return. At Z o'clock the lines were cast Off
the crowd cheered, the passengers waved
their handkerchiefs and the Kranz steamed
swiftly up the river. At O'Clock in
the morning Donaldsonville was in sight,
and shortly after we steamed slowly into
Bayou Lafourche. AS the steamer ghd"d
swiftly by salutes were given each plantation,
and the natives cheered us Justify in return.
Nearly all the plantations on the bayou
seemed to be In a fine state OF cultivation and
general air of prosperity added beauty and
interest to the scene. The orange groves
we're particularly noticeable, some OF them
being of immense size, the trees looking fresh
and healthy. At Thibodaux landing was
made and the inhabitants turned out in force
and gave us an enthusiastic reception Sun
day evening at o'clock the boat had
arrived in three miles of the mouth
of the bayou, and as the weather
was threatening, Capt. Kranz anchored
for the night. Monday morning dawned
equally unpropitious, and after descending
until the mouth Of the bayou and the gull
was in plain sight the officers of the boat con-
cluded it would be hazardous and unsafe TIC
venture out--a decision that was heartily con
Cured In by the passengers. The boat was
accordingly as securely anchored and fastened
as possible, and the jolly passengers pro-
ceeded to have as good time as circum-
stances permitted. A large crowd sought the
