A grosser abuse of the forms of law
was never conceived. This is per-
secution and not prosecution, and
there should he some meaos of pre-
venting it. If the State authori-
ties can afford no relief, Congress
should take hold of the matter and
Go something for the protection Of

nous on the part Of the Democratic

ger" in the Senate-Kellogg OF

colored Senator from Mississippi

not meddle with politics again,
except to 60 to the next Republi'
can Convention as delegate to

impressing it, and committing
Congress to it, deserve great
credit for their Jealous ard
efficient labors. 1.-THE project
mapped out in this resolution
is carried out we shall have no
compliment to make in the
end, though we cannot con-
ceal our disappointment at the
failure Of the appropriations
necessary to set the work on
foot Immediately. Great and
irretrievable disaster marks
every year of delay. and, with
each successive flood fortunes
are swept away and destruc-
ton and distress to thousands
people supervene, while the
ultimate expenses of repairin g
and restoring what is damag>
ed and destroyed is multiplied
by procrastination. Now that
the United States government
has acknowledged its duty il
the premises, the sooner it gets
to actual work the better for
all. Besides, whatever paper
policies Congress may enun-
ciate, we shall never feel as
sured until we see the appro-
priations made and the work
under way. We trust our
congressman will press the
advantage they have obtained
at every session OF Congress
till their just demands are met.

THE SENTINEL,
OUR PRESSING NEEDS.

We take it for granted, says the
N. o. City Item. that intelligent
business men and those interested
in the enlargement of our industries
will organize for their own pro-
lection. What they want is
genuine sclf-government, based on
equitable and economic principles,
rejecting the intelligent and honest
public opinion of the vicinage, ard
this as we'll for the city as the State.
In the establishment of such a sys-
TEN of government that vigilance
must be exercised which is the price
of liberty. 1t will not do to de-
pend on the strategy of party
schemers and the machinery Of
hole-and- cornes carcuses for the
nomination of convention delegates.
The selection of men to frame q
new organic law should be based
on the spontaneous suffrage Of those
who know their rights, and know
ing, dare defend them. No demor-
alization assessments should BE- per-
mitted, and nothing in the way OF
bargain and intrigue. If our busi-
ness citizens will take the matter
fairly in hand, ard act in a spirit
of enlightened liberality. they can
secure the return of intelligent con-
stitution- builders who will lay
sure the foundation ola new de-
parture in prosperity.
The new constitution should limit
the meetings Of the State Legisla-
ture, and place jndicious restrictions
on the action of the General Assem-
bly,. No bills of a private nature
should be passed. All unnecessary
Offices should DO Topped off, and
the salaries attached to those which
are permitted to remain should be
80 reduced as to remove them from
the sphere of unworthy ambition.
Honor rather than emolument
should be made the stimulant to
office. The revenue laws should be
80 constructed as to encourage rath-
err than repress industry, and slim
uIate the investment of capital in
our midst, rather than drive it
away, as is unfortunately the case
at present.
The problem OF an unbearable
debt for both the State and city
may be a difficult one to solve, but
80 far as lies within its sphere, the
convention should handle the sub
ject fearlessly, and furnish such EN-.
powering provisions as will ensure
judicious legislation in the premi-
ses. Moreover, the State has some
valuable property which might be
disposed of in liquidation Of its
public debt. There is, for instance,
the New Canal, worth million or
two of dollars, which should be
removed as speedily as possible
from the domain of private specu-
lation and disposed Of in such
manner as to give the State some
substantial return for its value.
And the city, even more than the
State, requires the authorization of
such revisory powers as will enable
her to undo what in her name has
been done amiss.

MIR. ROBERTSON'S .LETEE BILL.


After all the threats Of COM
bination and coalitions be-
tween the Southern mem bers
of Congress to force from the
reluctant East and North some
sort Of justice to this section
in the disbursement of the
public moneys, Mr.. Robert
sons levee bill could be carr
ried through the House only
by shearing it clean Of all ap-
preparations. After all the
high hopes we had been allow
ed to indulge it is a bitter dis
appointment indeed to be told
at last that this is the best that
could be done at this session
of Congress, but that the bill
will surely pass the Senate.
There has evidently been a
relaxing Of back bone all along
the line, and our section has
again been forced to content
itself with what little was dol
ed out to it, without any power
to compel recognition of its
just rights. We do not know
who is to blame for this, or,
indeed, that any blame at all
has been incurred We have
no doubt that the Louisiana
members of Congress at least
have been active, vigilant and
Jealous, and have acco1nplish>
ed all that was possible under
the circumstances.
What Congress has done in
passing the Robertson bill is
easily summed up, and it at
least promises a great deal in
the future, though nothing is
done for our immediate relief.
The bill commits Congress to
the improvement Of the navi-
cation of the Mississippi river
and the establishment and
keeping up at government ex-
pense of a thorough levee sys-
tenn, as incidental and neces>
sary thereto. 1t appoints a
board Of engineers to survey
the river from Alton to the
gulf, with instructions to re-
port Il thorough and compre-
hensive system of public i'm
provements, looking to the
deepening and permanent lo>
cation of the channel of the
river. and the protection Of
the vast and fertile alluvlal re-
gion lying all along the banks
OF the stream between the
points indicated. This is a
step, and a very long one in
the right direction, and if the
provisions Of the bill are any
indications ofthe future policy
of Congress, and we do not
see what other construction is
admissible. this great work Of
internal Improvement will be
undertaken, and at no distant
day, on a scale commensurate
with its vast Importance and
under auspices that will en-
sue success and reflect credit
on the country. This we take
this measure to mean, and in
passing it Congress places on
record it's formal acceptance
of the theory that the improve
ment Of the Mississippi and
the protection Of the great in
terest along its course from its
devasting floods are national
| works, which it is the duty as
| we'll as the interest Of the Fed
eral government to take under
it's control.
This is the proper view for
the United States government
