the most feasible measures In the matter,
we think that our representatives Will secure
the best they can for the levees OF Louisiana,
and that we may have reason to be satisfied,
However, faith In the unseen results would
be strengthened by the passage OF the present
bill through the Senate; by the early ap-
pointment OF competent com mission; by
favorable report from the same. and by the
government, as soon thereafter as possible,
going earnestly to work to deepen the Mis-
sissippi river, to render its channel available
for commercial purposes at all seasons, and to
protect its rich aIluvial banks and borders
from overflow"

TAXATION OF MANUFACTURES.

The COMMITTEES on Manu.eactures reported
to the Convention ON Monday an ordinance In
structing the General Assembly to exempt
from taxation the capital and machinery en-
ployed In manufactures In this State.
No great diminution OF current revenue can
be apprehended from the adoption OF this or
dinance, because OF the fact that our manu-
featuring industries are comparatively fncon-
siderable. It can hardly be said that an ex-
emption for period OF years is discr1mMa-
ton In favor Of special interests, because every
industry as well as property will be benefited.
The benefit to the foundries, machine
shops and other manufactures In the State
would enable them to enlarge their facilities,
employ additional men and reduce the cost OF
sugar, rice and cotton machinery and imple-
ments, thereby directly beneftinR the plant
Ing and farming interests. Mills and refineries
would work up the crude agricultural pro-
auctions ct less cost to the producer.
The value OF property In the city OF New
Orleans has steadily decreased since 1870 as
the trade changes have taken place, and
the State Is deprived OF revenue In direct
proportion.
Stimulate manufactures by inviting invest
ments OF this character, and New Orleans
will soon become the great manufacturing
center OF the whole Southern country. With
the extension OF her railroads into Texas, the
growth Of her river trade, and the Increase OF
her ocean commerce, she should become one
OF the first manufacturing cities Of the Union.
The development OF her manufacturing In
terests means employment for the thousands
Of skilled mechanics and unemployed la
borers now thronging this city: it means
occupation Of the thousands OF properties
now uDproductive and non-taxpaying, and an
increase OF taxable values that will COM
pensate the State thousand fold for any
apparent reduction Of current revenue that
would be caused by the exemption recon-
meuded.

A COURTEOUS REBUKE.

It will be remembered that week or two
ago the Chicago Tribune published sketch,
conspicuous for It's inaccuracies and for it's
embellishments, regarding the planting opera
tioDs and commercial transactions In cotton
of Mr.. E. Richardson, OF the firm of Richard
son May. In this city. The whole basis for
the remarkable article In question was quiet
conversation In railroad car held between
Col. Richardson, the correspondent OF the
Tribune and q prominent lawyer Of Missis-
sippi.
The extraordinary and we may add, highly
imaginary production, which, appearing In the
columns OF the Tribune, purported to report
the chief points of the casual discussion, ex-
cited the establishment Of the parties to the
conversation, and the publicity OF the mis-
statements it contained was subject OF
extreme annoyance to Mr.. Richardson, who
administered a most courteous rebuke to the
reporter OF the Tribune, and one which, while
1t Is characterized by a refinement Of correc-
ton and couched in the most polite diction,
must convince the aforesaid scribe OF the
error OF his reckless misstatements as forcibly
as 1t bears such conviction to the general
public.
Col Richardson, in his letter written at
jackson, Miss, on Wednesday, the fourth in
stant, to the Tribune reporter, refers the cor
respondent to the glazing inaccuracies OF his
article and calls attention to It's manifest In
justice.
He shows where playful joke Of a third
party concerning his having ian eye on the
State Penitentiary" was meant to convey q
suggestion In the Tribune correspondence
that he had endeavored to exercise influence
over the State Legislature, when the fact was
that the military commander Of Mississippi
leased him The Penitentiary In 1867, which the
restored State government three years later
declined to do, and all further connection in
the matter with. the State. authorities was
closed.
Col Richardson states that as far as he Ii
made in the Tribune to control the cotton
market of New Orleans" this suggestion
would serve to discredit all other statements
